Review:
I myself have only had good experiences here. Of course, I only go at lunch time where they bring your food out SUPER QUICK and are again QUICK to drop your bill off 5 minutes after they’ve served you your food. Not bad for those that are on a 60 minute lunch break though. I highly, highly recommend the Mandrin Fired Chicken! The Chicken, half fried rice, and half chowmein makes one hell of a lunch!
Have come here a couple of times for lunch with coworkers. We have always been seated and orders taken right away. The staff is friendly and attentive. I have gotten the chicken curry and garlic chicken, both were good and they give you plenty that you have to take the rest home (which is enough for a whole other meal). Prices are very reasonable.
Without a doubt the surliest waitstaff I’ve seen in a long time. “You order now?” “What you want?” “You? Next, you?” “Steam or fried, steam or fried?” Ok, I get it, forget the charm and prepositions, let’s just move on to business.
The food is unremarkable. I had sweet and sour fish, it was just as you would expect, fried with a day-glo sauce. The soup and salads that they give to each person is totally mediocre. I had a weird metallic taste in my mouth after my lunch. I usually get that with MSG, but we asked and they said there was no MSG before we ordered, but who really knows.
I agree with Daniel M., the prices are negotiable. Each person’s lunch was a dollar more than listed on the menu, with no notice. I guess the menu sets a price “suggestion.” I suggest they write their prices down.
I wouldn’t go back. Chinese lunch places are a dime a dozen, and there are other places that have the real prices listed with nicer service.
