About Mandarin Restaurant

Mandarin Restaurant is a popular choice for many, visited at least twice a week by some. Known for its 'Americanized' Chinese cuisine, it offers inexpensive and generous portions of good quality food. The chicken wings are a standout, with some even saying they're "to die for" due to their unique feature - a slight fuzz of hair-like texture. The menu features a variety of dishes, including General Tso’s Tofu, which is especially appreciated by vegetarians. Customers often praise the food for being fantastic, with well-cooked chicken and a good balance of flavors in dishes like General Tso's chicken and veggie lo mein. The crab Rangoons are always crispy and fresh, and other items like pan-fried dumplings are also well-liked.

While the restaurant's interior may not be fancy or very clean, the food more than makes up for it. It is conveniently located with parking right next to the building, though parking can be difficult at times. Orders are usually ready for quick pick-up, making it a reliable spot for takeout. Many customers consider it their go-to Chinese restaurant in the East Somerville area, especially for the large servings and good prices. Despite its simple appearance, Mandarin Restaurant is known for its fresh, non-greasy Chinese dishes and remains a top recommendation for a classic Chinese meal.
