It’s an ok restaurant. The portions are small for the price and there aren’t enough vegetables on the plate. I expected more than one piece of broccoli per person, at least. Waitstaff is extremely attentive and they refill your water without you even having to ask. The place is also clean and comfortable to sit in with a pleasant ambiance. If you’re desperate it’s fine but far from the best place to have Chinese food in suburban Boston.
OK, OK ...your table's right here. And you're ready to eat, water's here and you'll have serve ware coming we'll have hot and sour soup, mooshi pork, mooshi veg, scallion pancakes, pot stickers, veg dumplings, chicken lettuce wraps, veg. fried rice and chicken with broccoli...all that came out in 8 seconds...wphew. I was exhausted just ordering. Talk about a RUSH order! But rewind to the bill...all of that $120.00 + in a Chinese restaurant and water drinks only. Something's wrong with that picture. Let's back up...rush, rush, rush...not necessary. If they came in the door they'll be here for the meal...RELAX. Make their experience quiet, calm and memorable. You don't have a line waiting to get in...Take your time you're not FAST food. THINK of yourselves as GOOD food in a pleasant atmosphere ready when you are ready.Large portions could be smaller and less expensive appealing to a wider audience who will go out and tell their friends about the EXPERIENCE and the food. On that topic ... it could be less Americanized. Experiment with specials from your gramma's recipes...you'll be surprised. JUST slowing down would be a surprise. Yes, we'll be back.
I ordered takeout. Delicious !
Food was very good, a few items we ordered were not exactly the same as what was on the menu but other than that everything was great!
Came into 9 at 9:30 kitchen closes and stops cooking at 10:15 the waiter rushed me out of there it wasn't even 10 and he was asking me if I wanted it to go the food was lukewarm at best will not return and I will tell my friends
The food is out of this world. Great service, great staff. You can’t go wrong eating at Mandarin Gourmet
I always order takeout, but Mandarin is always filled with customers. I'm going to dine in one day. The food is always good, great variety on the menu. The ladies at the front desk who take my order are always pleasant. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
Fabulous food. Quiet, small restaurant. Friendly, helpful staff. Plenty of parking. Luncheon specials seven days a week till 3:30! Under ten dollars, includes tea. Near Putterman Circle. Easy to find. If I golfed, I'd go there afterwards with my golfing friends; if I had any that is.
