Doesn't have a buffet but gives large portions even more at night but cost a little higher. Hot and sour soup my favorite. Service is good.

Disappointing experience. I ordered what was supposed to be chicken chow mein, sweet and sour pork, and fried shrimp, but what I received was nothing like I expected. After taking one bite of the "shrimp" and the rice, I found the food unappetizing and couldn't continue eating it. I politely asked if I could switch my meal for something else and even offered to pay the price difference, but the manager refused and responded, "If you don't know what something is, don't try it." To make matters worse, as my friend and I were leaving, the staff openly talked about us within earshot. The poor customer service and disrespectful treatment made an already disappointing meal even worse. read more

We had an entire order and one thing in the order was not very good and we did not want it so we sent it back. We asked if they could remove that item from our bill since we did not like it and did not eat it and they refused. Not to mention the waitress had nails with chains hanging off her fake nails into our food. Won't be back to say the least read more

Every thing went well . We could not have made a better choice.They kept our classes full.

Extremely disappointed went for lunch yesterday waiter was very nice . I ordered Friend Almond Chicken with Fried Rice, Egg roll and Egg drop Soup. The chicken must have been Shredded for stir fry then fried because it was most definitely finely shredded chicken, the Fried Rice was nothing more than brown rice no vegetables no scrambled egg, no meat Zero in it very dry I've had better at Panda Buffet the soup was fair not tasty bland the Egg roll was more like Spring roll again No Meat at all. This is the third time recently that I've gone it just keeps going down!!! Maybe they should go back to Cooking School. My son got Sushi he said as many times as he has gone here he too was Disappointed he said they had some kind of mayo blend drizzled on top!! He tried scraping it off. This was Lunch time bill was almost $40.00 !! Wouldn't even let my dogs have it!!I love Chinese Mandarin but this was just awful!! read more

Love their Food... Tiny Spicy Chicken is delicious! The Chicken and Broccoli with brown sauce is also delicious! Love the Egg-drop soup, Egg-rolls, California Roll with Spicy Mayo , Crab & Cream cheese Wontons, Steamed Dumplings... basically you can't go wrong with anything you get there! Their service is great and the staff is friendly. The ambiance of the restaurant is quiet and nice. read more

Stopped by Mandarin during a trip to my hometown for dinner with my family. We ordered inside and got our food to go. Mandarin is really special because the owners/family also previously owned another fav, The Wok. Feeling nostalgic typing this, we frequented The Wok during high school and sadly they closed their doors this year. While I know this is a review for Mandarin, that background information is relevant. So Mandarin- my absolute favorite go-to order in high school was the Tiny Spicy Chicken, an eggroll, and fried rice. Welp, surprise!! Lifestyle change: Now my go-to order is Tiny Spicy Shrimp, a spring roll, and fried rice. Still delicious AF! Definitely one of my top favorite places to pop into and eat while I am visiting my people at home. Great customer service, family-owned and operated, and delicious food. I stan. read more

The hostess was completely RUDE. My wife and I asked for a booth and she told us none were available. Then the next three parties were sat at a booth. When I went back up and pointed that out she lied and said they were not available when we came in, 60 seconds earlier. Then she became indignant when the manager sat us at a booth. Don't go if you want to be treated with dignity and respect... read more

I used to live in Alexandria. Absolutely love the food. I now live in Dallas. Can't find anything even close to this restaurant. I will drive 5 hours just for the Tiny Spicy Chicken, Chicken fried rice, pan fried noodles and the Egg drop soup. Ben became a dear friend. read more

Disappointed in the service. Food was ok but not worth the prices. Ribs had little sauce and were tough. Chicken was over cooked read more

Chicken Szechuan was cold and tasteless; hot and sour soup was also cold. I have been disappointed in several entries on last 4 visits. They must have changed chefs. read more

We recently traveled from Houston, TX to celebrate my little cousin's Sweet 16, and chose Mandarin for dinner. With a party of 10, we placed a lot of orders, and our server Alex handled everything flawlessly. He worked nonstop, kept a great attitude the entire time, and made sure our table was taken care of from start to finish. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Thank you, Alex, for providing outstanding service and helping make our celebration even more special. read more

Always a good place with great food. I'm a fan of the tiny spicy chicken. So try that if you're new to there. Service is always great too

I got the lsu roll and orange chicken to go, the lady on the phone never told me the price. when I got there to pick up the food I was in shock, my total being 40$ and I wanted extra spicy mayo and eel Sauce and it was also 1.50 each like what.... Orange chicken was great the sushi was falling apart. Definitely NOT worth the price read more

The atmosphere is really nice and seems clean. I ordered the luncheon Mongolian chicken which is supposed to be to be spicy but it doesn't seem spicy but still good. Our waitress was really pleasant . read more

Great food and service. I would definitely go back here. Lovely diving area and atmosphere.

One of my favorite places to eat in Alexandria. I was in there yesterday and ordered the Sweet & Sour Chicken, usually great dish. This was not the same as last time i had it. It was packaged and not prepared in the kitchen. Service, as always was great, but I was disappointed in the dish. Hope to return on a future visit to Alexandria and give it another try. read more

Just ordered as takeout and as usual was very good. The best tiny spicy chicken. We got 2 entrees ( tiny spicy chicken and Mongolian beef) white rice came with it. We got egg rolls also. The service is on point every time. I rarely ever eat in the dining area but from the looks it is clean and comfortable. I have never met anyone there that wasn't gracious even when they are crazy busy. If you get a chance check it out! Would eat something from here at least once a week if it was closer but after getting off from work I don't want to drive across town to get something. They would make a killing if they delivered instead of having to use door dash or something like that. Sorry no pictures. read more

The food here is phenomenal. I'm stuck on the tiny spicy chicken so I'm a tad limited but I've also had their sushi and I'm impressed with that too. I've always had good service and you'll find the ambience to be very enjoyable including the soothing oriental instrumental music. I highly recommend. read more

I stopped by Mandarin while working in Alexandria and the reviews were spot on. I had the shrimp with broccoli and it was great. The first thing to note was the portion was huge, really could have split it between two people. Secondly was the freshness and abundance of shrimp. My server was extremely friendly and I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Alexandria. read more

We are traveling through Louisiana on our way to Virginia. Stopped in Alexandria to spend the night. Chose Mandariin for dinner based in the selection on the menu. Ordered Hawaiian roll, maki roll and sunami roll. All were great. The Sunami roll had an outer layer of apple and a sweet sauce on it. Our waitress was very attentive. Highly recommend Mandarin if your looking for sushi. read more

This place was ok especilly since I was really hungry and in the mood for Asian. I don't think it's 5 stars good though. I guess there aren't many Asians in LA.... I'm used to big city Chinatown Asian where everyone who works there and everything they serve is authentic. The food was tasty enough although the portions were a bit skimpy considering their high prices. The food wasn't very hot either. The restaurant itself is very nice and the wait staff was polite and efficient. Even if I lived close by I don't think I'd ever come back though. read more

I was amazed at the quality of the food and the amazing service. It was very busy at the time I went and no long wait or drop in service. I ate sweet and sour chicken and beef with broccoli and it was delicious. I recommend trying this one in Alexandria Louisiana. read more

Perfect perfect!!! Three local business I had been shopping at recommended Mandarin. We went and had the $10.95 lunch. The food was hot, fresh and fast. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Last few visits have not been good. Loyal Wok/Mandarin customers of over 27 years. Past six months each order has problems. Asked for hot mustard and chop sticks. Didn't get. Another time, almond chicken which usually has very little spice was very spicy. Charged (and in fairness, received) dinner portion meals but ordered lunch specials. Cashier today said she couldn't hear me when I called in order. Probably because she had phone on speaker and getting feedback from the other cashier. ( I could hear that whole conversation!). Egg rolls tasted "off" today. Management just needs to hang out, watch and give feedback to keep these little issues from becoming bigger problems. read more

The establishment was beautiful upon entering. I ordered. They gave a good amount of food for the price but the chicken chow mein was like soup and had absolutely no taste. The Mongolian beef was supposed to be spicy, yet it was sweet without heat. From the way the spring roll and the fried shrimp looked, it looked like the oil was a month old. I also, ordered a sushi roll which was described to have black mushrooms, crab stick, cucumber, gobo radish...it had raw green beans and what looked like mango. No wasabi was given with the roll. Service was cool. Food came out quickly and was hot, but for the amount/ pricing the food could taste better and could actually be as described. Took one bite and threw up, then tried to choke down the rest but couldn't do it. I think the amount t of msg used may be the reason the Mongolian beef looked the way it did. No char looked slightly breaded and soft fried but what do I know. ​ read more

Great service, nice environment and the food was amazing. We just relocated from Colorado and wanted to find a good Chinese restaurant. Stopped by Tractor supply and saw this place next door. Well worth the stop! Good variety and everything we tried was wonderful. read more

Cashew chicken is great. The owners are very friendly and employees are nice too. Miss you Mrs Yen.

Horrible Staff!!! I would not recommend patronizing this establishment. After being seated and not served...... now I see why the business was slow. Spoke with a manager and he was absolutely no help- only excuses so my party of 4 exited the restaurant. 3 parties after ours was served. So yes pissed! so I'll give my money to another restaurant. As a veteran I have seen a lot but this was piss poor service. would review the food but we never got a chance to order. I didn't want to give the one star. signed a pissed off non customer. read more

Wow! This is a nice place. The food is good and they give you a good amount of food. The price is a little higher than a small take out place, but this is a sit-down restaurant. You can also get take out. read more

First time eating here. Was it good? I would say average. Will this be a place I am so excited to come eat at when I come back home. The answer is no. They don't do a lot of items on certain days. Really wanted fresh spring rolls but, they do not do these on Saturday. They did have a lunch menu on Saturday. If I remember it is 11-3. I had the Sautéed chicken and string beans. It comes with soup which I got egg drop and an egg roll. Like I said earlier it was blah but ok. Was not excited. What I don't like there was 6 of us and got a gratuity added on. read more

I've been giving this restaurant my business for many years from when they were oriental wok to now, Mandarin. For years I've ordered the combination plate that on the menu clearly states it come with a drink. Everytime I've ordered this to go I get the drink to go. Last night when I went in to order the owner( older man) refused to include the drink, he said it was dine in only. I have never had this problem before, it was sad because our children go to school together. He was willing to lose a 40$ order over tea. The level of bad customer service and greed... I will not return and give them my business. I truly hope going forward they will honor the menu, I didn't ask for a freebie, I asked for what the meal included per menu. read more
