Mandarin Court

I don’t usually write reviews, but Mandarin Court inspired me in the same way a flat tire inspires you to learn how to change one — out of necessity… except this time, it was a pleasant surprise necessity. This was, without question, one of the most unexpectedly memorable Chinese food experiences I’ve had. The General Tso’s chicken was impressively subtle and balanced — a culinary achievement, really, considering the dish is normally known for being overpowering. It had that comforting, reheated-in-the-best-way feel, like leftovers that somehow taste even better the next day. They even served it in the same container it was warmed in, which honestly made it feel cozy and unpretentious — like eating something straight from the kitchen before it even has time to cool down. The fried rice

My son & I went to mandarin court for Valentine’s Day. We wanted sushi and somewhere simple. This was a great little find. It felt family run, the food was delicious and the prices very reasonable for the fare. If you’re looking for chi chi and fancy this isn’t your place, but if you want a comfy place to eat tasty, quality food where you can relax and just be yourself (and your kids can too), then this is your new spot.

I don’t usually write reviews, but Mandarin Court inspired me in the same way a flat tire inspires you to learn how to change one, out of necessity. This was, without question, the worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. The General Tso’s chicken was impressively bland and dry, a culinary achievement, really, considering the dish is normally known for being flavorful. It tasted like it had been reheated… because it clearly had been reheated. They even served it in the same plastic container it appeared to have been warmed up in, which felt less like dining and more like accidentally eating leftovers from someone else’s fridge. The fried rice was not edible. I don’t mean “not great” I mean freezer-burn-time-capsule bad. The fried beef was even more confusing: deep-fried breading with the tin

This spot is doing Chinese and Japanese cuisine, and I tried to try a bit of both to see what it was all about. The owner was very friendly, and was the one making the sushi. The sushi was interesting, the California Roll was simple, basic, however the rice was definitely a bit more on the mushy side, over cooked for sure. The Spider Roll was very different that what I'm used to as it had a large Romaine Lettuce leaf incorporated into the roll. I always like to try new things, but not sure if it worked... The Chicken Corn Soup w/ the crispy Wontons and Sweet & Sour Sauce were exceptionally delicious. I also ordered Chicken in Garlic Sauce from the Lunch Special Menu, and requested it to be a bit spicier. Oh that was yummy, as I loved their house Chili Oil as well.

Amazing little place! Tasty food for amazing prices. We got two rolls of sushi, two soups, hunan chicken, fried rice, and a diet coke for less than $20 AFTER taxes! This was off the lunch menu, so I’m not sure of the dinner prices. The food came out so fast and the service was great. The sushi was really good. I especially like the dynamite roll. I definitely recommend. You get huge bang for your buck.
