Mandarin House - Hampton Cove

Pass this up.

Nice and clean very wonderful staff needs a more variety but definitely changed for better from a few years ago. If you don't want drive to Huntsville for Chinese this is a good spot to go.

Staff did not speak English well and atmosphere was dull and dark often seen in Chinese restaurants resulting in 3 and 3 rating. Food is a winner here in taste and freshness. Ordering from the menu gets a large, flavorful plate of food. Buffet food is good but variety is poor with shrimp, chicken and desserts dominating with only one or two pork and beef choices. Price and quality is very good but not a 5.

This has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Alabama. I first went there almost two years ago. The food smells very good, the service is really kind, and the atmosphere is amazing. I cannot thank them enough~ Highly recommend!!! 🤩🔥🎉

The waiter was very nice. I ordered from the menu because I don't eat much at once and wanted to have some left overs to take home. I took the whole meal home, and guess it will be thrown away. I ordered my fave, sesame chicken. The chicken was tough and hard, the broccoli was tough...I don't care much for rice but it was about all I could eat.
I have eaten there many times over the yrs but recent times haven't been as nice an experience.
I dont think I will go back, and I am disappointed by that thought.

Decent buffet options.

Nothing tasted fresh and could tell it has sitting out to long and wayy too long for the service i dont feel at all satisfiedwiththefood by no means .

This place has greatly declined on the food options and the flavour. I was sadly disappointed at the Hibachi. We did not get any because the meat looked dried out, and old.

If you need to lose weight fast eat here. This is the 3rd time that I have gotten food poisoning here. I clearly am not too smart since I went back. My friends said that they had changed and were doing better. They are not. They mix in the old dried out food with the new food every single time. They don't throw out expired seafood and just mix it in with the new. They also reuse food from the night before. I have heard now from 6 others that had the same experience. Save yourself this ? nightmare and go elsewhere.

If you wish to find FRIED ROACHES in your food this is the place to go. We had just sat down to eat. Had literally taken 2 bites when we found roaches in our food. I immediately requested to speak to the manager/owner and was told that they would at first but then told me that he wasn’t there. I was told that they HAVE NO CONTROL over the bugs. That THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PEST PROBLEM and there’s NOTHING they can do because pest control goes to the restaurant. They said, “sorry but we can only give you a 10% discount because we do inventory. I said that IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE for them to expect me to pay when clearly i had just sat down to eat and hadn’t even taken a sip out of my drink. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT WHATSOEVER. They clearly have a pest problem and are unreasonable. They Simply don’t care about their customers ? .

By far, in my opinion, the best Chinese in the Huntsville/Decatur/Hartselle area! The staff were friendly and efficient, the restaurant was neat and clean, and the food was great! The only drawback is the distance from my house.
