Giving the benefit of the doubt on service and atmosphere, as our food was ordered delivery.For the exorbitant price of the meals, the food is fully cooked, but disappointingly bland, and unappealing. There was a lot of rice, and celery, but basically nothing of substance past those. There were more chunks of semi-cooked celery in our dishes than there were pieces of anything else, including the meat portions.The chicken in our meal had multiple large tendons, and was honestly less meat than fat/tendons.The Egg Drop Soup tasted like thick egg water, and seemed to be missing key ingredients like sesame oil, and some sort of flavored broth base.The only really tasty part of our meals were the smoothies, and for the price of them, they're small compared to other equally tasty smoothie joints.Overall Experience: Expensive & Bland.I'd sooner eat at almost any other Chinese place in Albuquerque after how much of an expensive let-down this was, and we didn't even order a meal for everyone eating.

Best Chinese Food I've ever had. The couple who owns it is delightful, helpful, and the service and atmosphere are delightful. Call in orders are ready quick and always delicious even after a long drive back home.

We ordered dinner and received undercooked chicken. I will never go back and if we get sick from it, I will be reporting to the health department. Avoid at all costs.

I read through the reviews and I have to say from my point of view I did not have any issues. I ordered my food to go and it was 7/10. I seen reviews saying the portions were bad and the food was bland- I ordered lo mein, egg drop and crab rangoon. Nothing was bland, and the portions were good/big. The lo mein was over stuffed with noodles and veg- there were only 6-8 shrimp but they were big and good quality.

Food was not fresh another customer couldn’t eat the food said she didn’t want it. The owner said I’ll take off half the price of the order even though she only took one bite. Very money ? hungry don’t put the customer first. Never go back there ever

My favorite restaurant in Albuquerque, my favorite is the beef and broccoli along side the ribs cause it’s super tender. The atmosphere is relaxing and the service is pleasant.
We have been dining at the Mandarin restaurant seems for 20 years or so. It's clean, delicious food and I would highly recommend it to everybody if you're looking for a good meal. All authentic food. Very spacious. Treat yourself, go to the Mandarin for lunch and dinner. ❤️

The chow mein was pretty good, not the best I've had but still good. The waitress that was working there was really nice and attentive.

Honestly, the food was satisfying.... the taste authentic.The restaurant is generous with their portions and aim to please. They add the sauces and utensils without having to ask.That's what I call service, good food and all the trimmings.Vegetarian options: All vegetable and rice different dishes, filling and plentyful.Kid-friendliness: Large portions to share or small portions kids love the shrimp and vegetables. As long as there is no chilie .... most dishes are great, especially the orange chicken.
