Based on customer reviews, Mandarin Express is a small, family-run restaurant often described as a mom and pops place. The cook is an elderly man and the waitress is his elderly wife, who are both very cute, friendly, and trying their best to be welcoming. The service is not fast, as she can only move so fast, but she is super nice and attentive. The food is always good, tremendously delicious, authentic, and economical. Popular dishes include the dumplings, Triple seafood (shrimp, scallops, and squid), noodle soup, beef brisket crossing-bridge noodles, fried tofu, and crispy chicken. The crispy chicken has a fragrant garlic flavor and stands out from typical American orange chicken. Portions are large and generous for the price; customers get a lot of food for their money. The restaurant is old and a hole in the wall, but many customers have been coming for years. It is considered one of the best noodle places and provides a truly authentic type of rice noodle. Some reviewers recommend going before the grandparents retire, as places like this are hard to find.
