About Ballard Mandarin

Ballard Mandarin is a classic American-style Chinese restaurant known for its decent food quality and large portions. The menu features dishes like sweet and sour pork, sweet and sour chicken, and orange chicken, which is very saucy. Customers often enjoy the generous servings, with one order of chicken enough for two people. The restaurant offers friendly staff who provide good service, including complimentary green tea and extra helpings of rice for leftovers. Seating mainly consists of large booths that comfortably fit 4-6 adults. The lunch special, which includes hot and sour soup, remains popular. Takeout is available for those who prefer to enjoy their meals at home. Some visitors have mentioned lively lounge nights with karaoke, adding a fun atmosphere to the place. The staff, including a kind older woman, are known for their helpful and welcoming attitude, making it a favorite spot for many.

Great food! Love our neighborhood Chinese restaurant!

Delicious food, friendly service at this family-owned spot. Fresh hand-prepped veggies, tasty fresh fish and meats, flavorful sauces, fried foods done to perfection. Love the Lotus dinner - broccoli beef or tofu/veggies entree.

The Bar ...is my "Cheers" go-to spot. The welcoming, inclusive bartenders serve up generous drinks. Karaoke on Wed and Sat nights, hosted by KJ Eric of Karaokaholics United. Eric makes you feel like family. His mantra: "There's no bad karaoke."...read full review
