Mandarin Garden

Great spot, much better flavors than most Chinese takeout I’ve had! I particularly loved the spicy tofu. We also enjoyed the mushroom & pea pod dish, the egg rolls (no pork!) and several shrimp dishes. The employees use extensive public health precautions. A great place to order during the pandemic! They have great food and take safety precautions very seriously.

The food is not terrible but a bit bland. The low rating is mainly because the service is below average . Ive tried giving them another chance several times including this week but they won't even take your order unless you phone it in as I found out last night. even if you're wearing a mask and standing 6 feet away, which is ridiculous considering I saw the woman who runs this place in the food prep/ cooking area without a mask and only put it on when she saw me standing at the door to try and palace and order ??

Dropped in for lunch and the place was deserted. It was little wonder as there was no heat on! The usual surly hostess was there but I go for the food, so ordered the Mushu pork and hot and sour soup. The hostess turned on what she called the air conditioning which I think is a language issue and she meant the heat but that only raised the temperature about 2° to about 45 degrees in the restaurant. After shivering for about 5 minutes I told her I'd take my food to go and it still took 15 to 20 minutes to get it. This would be a good place for take-out as the food is good, and the Mushu pork was excellent. I would not bother to try to stay unless it's crowded and can raise the temperature by body heat. A really sad, false economy. I get the impression that the hostess, who is probably the owner, is not happy to have that position in the restaurant. She seems to be a bit above it (in her own mind at least.) If she would bother to smile and be courteous to the customers and heat the place I think she would have more of a lunch crowd.
