★★★★★ 5.0 Patricia Eisenhardt · Dec 2025

The new management of this restaurant a Have made dramatic improvements! The food is now fresh and flavorful, without being salty. Vegetables are just perfect - tender crisp. And the new spicy chicken/pork wontons did not disappoint either. Ask for the house chili oil if you like spicy. Interior is renovated to be very bright and clean. Perhaps the brightness could come down just a touch, but overall, I think dining in will be a much better experience, now. So happy there is a great local Chinese place in my neighborhood again!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jon S. · Feb 2026

Okay first off I do not like to leave bad reviews but this isn't really a bad review it's just notes from my experience this afternoon. So we enter the restaurant and a gentleman greets us and tells us to sit anywhere so we do in a booth in the opposite room that everyone was in but we wanted to be away and it wasn't that far after sitting down he tells us actually this is our party room so please come over to this other room understandable. So we move to the other room. After a few minutes we order. No crispy noodles anymore I guess with the hot mustard in this sour sauce they used to bring, and we order. our lunch comes out, portions seem small but it's lunch so I imagine they'll be a little smaller. When our waiter comes back I asked him if we can get some chili sauce and or Sriracha he

We had dinner here tonight after kids requested Panda Express. Lol. We told them we have much better option and boy they're glad we came here. The sweet and sour chicken is really good. I love the Beef with string beans. They're both flavorful. The guy server is nice and our food came in quick. I wish the parking situation is better but the food makes up for it.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Nancy Leland · Nov 2025

The New Mandarin Garden has been consistently prepared with high-quality ingredients, and no mystery meat is present. The ownership has undergone a significant transformation, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of the food. You won't be disappointed. Delicious and generous sized portions.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ron Lee · Jan 2026

Food is very very good, service is impeccable and really friendly. Prices are very reasonable. We are able to have two meals for the price of one. I will be returning here to dine over and over again.
