Hot and sour soup was sweet, not sour!
Pretty standard food quality. Process to get food was efficient. Their prices have changed but there's no way to know what those prices are unless you "ask" as they don't have a printed menu and the one posted online is not current pricing. Our bill was about 20% higher than expected because of this.
4-5 star food with 2 star reliability. It's a roll of the dice everytime we choose this place.
The food was very disappointing. I ordered Szechwan Chicken and it was sweet. The egg drop soup was just ordinary with excessive salt.
Wish I could give this 4-5 stars and ordinarily I would except portions of last nights carry-out dinner were very disappointing. We started off with the sizzling rice soup which had a delicious flavor on a cold winter night. The Mongolian beef and Sweet and Sour shrimp were perfect. However, the eggrolls, were definitely NOT worthy of any stars. Not only were they much smaller than other eggrolls we can get elsewhere, but the filling resembled the consistency of cat food and nothing was identifiable. The won tons are nothing but a teeny tiny piece of something wrapped in a fried won ton wrapper. Again not worth any stars.
I ordered carry out because that is the only thing they offer. I haven't had Mandarin Garden for quite a awhile and was pretty excited for it. I went in to get my order and as they read my order back to me it was incorrect. I asked if I could please have the pot stickers, instead of the wontons, now mind you, I don't know if it was my fault, maybe I ordered the wrong thing when I called, or it could have been theirs, I don't know. Either way, what I think was the owner came out to berate me along with the poor kid at the cash register. It was really uncomfortable. I mean it was a mistake regardless of who made it, I didn't mind waiting a few more minutes for the pot stickers, but it really must have angered her that I wanted something different. I wasn't asking for my whole order to be redone, just potstickers instead of wontons. I literally drove from the other end of town to come get this order. I don't think I was unpleasant or rude at all. I was actually quite apologetic. I ordered $60.00 worth of food, and when I got home we had one container of rice for three meals and the meal containers were half full. I will say, what we did get was good, but my god! it was a terrible experience!!!!
Always great! Fresh, full flavor Asian cuisine! Awesome hot tea, too.
Would not credit us when we got wrong item in carryout. Been going here 30+ years. Horrible management.
The best Mongolian beef ever...everything has its own plate love this place
Best Mongolian Beef and very good egg rolls but unfortunately it's currently carry out only,if you don't live in the area, it really sucks! People need to apply for a serving job because that's the hold up on why indoor dining has not started back up! ?

Expensive and terrible. The sweet & sour chicken tasted like flour and nothing else. The beef with Chinese vegetables was over salted with mushy beef, soft broccoli and carrots, some bamboo shoots & gravy. The fried rice was pale and flavorless.
Absolutely love this place. When our children are home, this is their food of choice. My wife and I get take out weekly. It’s so consistent and delicious. If there were more stars, I would give them.
Over priced! Same old food. Just go to Panda!
Great place to work and eat!
I have been a fan of Mandarin Garden since they opened. I always tell myself I'm going to order something different each time, but 90% of the time I order Mongolian Beef, egg rolls and Sizzling Rice soup. You can't go wrong with any entre. Enjoy!
