I've been here a couple times now and they have really good Chinese food! We usually order family meals to go. I love the chow mein! I also recommend the green pepper steak, orange chicken and the cashew chicken! The family meals feed a lot and are very filling and delicious.

Pon Pon Chicken Combo
Brianne C.

This casual Chinese place is great for dinner with family or friends. I've been here several times, and I especially like the egg drop soup, the appetizers, and the walnut chicken. You can get combos for lunch or dinner, and they're a pretty good deal. Service has been a little off the last few times I've come. This last time, we didn't get our fried rice until we were almost done with our meal. The time before that, the restaurant stank like cigarette smoke (possibly someone taking a cigarette break too close to the building?).

Asked for ham fried rice, no onions. Got house fried rice with steak chicken and shrimp. Allergy = no dinner for me.

Love it when they get my order right -- they've only messed up a couple of times in the past, but the food usually makes up for it. Unfortunately, tonight was different. This review is strictly about order accuracy and customer service. I am a repeat customer and have ordered from this restaurant many times. Tonight, I ordered ham fried rice with no green onions, along with sweet and sour chicken, fried gyoza, and cream cheese wontons. When we got home, the rice contained green onions and beef, chicken, and shrimp. Here's a picture of what I had to do to let my wife enjoy our dinner. (I had to separate the food due to a shrimp allergy.) When I called back, I was told that I ordered house fried rice, which is incorrect. I never order house fried rice specifically because of a shrimp allergy. After explaining this, the employee on the phone went silent and offered no apology, no explanation, no correction, and no option to speak with a manager. This is approximately the fifth time my fried rice order has been wrong. On prior visits, I was given plain white rice instead of fried rice, even though fried rice costs more and was what I paid for. I drive 5 miles to pick up food and don't always have time to check every item before leaving. The food itself is very good when the order is correct, but repeated mistakes, lack of accountability, and unprofessional handling of customer concerns make this unacceptable. Having inexperienced staff take orders without management involvement is clearly an issue. Due to the ongoing problems and poor resolution, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this business.

Steamed Vegetables

Authentic, clean Chinese food with fresh ingredients and reasonable prices! Mourning the closure of Chin Wah in Sandy, we finally found our new spot for tasty Chinese. Arguably an improvement over Chin Wah, as this Latino family uses fresh, clean ingredients like orange zest and ginger in the Orange Chicken dish, and fresh vegetables for the Chow Mein dish. The breading on the Sweet & Sour Shrimp is light and not oily -- my wife's stomach tells her quickly, in a not-so-friendly manner, when low-quality or dirty oil is used...not the case with Mandarin Garden. The Ham Fried Rice was better tasting than Chin Wah's same dish -- a favorite for my family for decades. They may use oyster sauce or fish sauce, it tasted better and more Asian-authentic. The family running Mandarin Garden is friendly and they clearly have big hearts! While my order was Carry-Out, I noticed how clean the restaurant and tables were, every table set and ready to occupy. We ordered: Orange Chicken ("as a combo", which includes two dumplings, a veggie spring roll, a flattened & fried shrimp, small bowl of egg drop soup); steamed veggies (all fresh!); veggie chow mein (all fresh!); Ham Fried Rice (entree); Sweet & Sout Shrimp (my wife had already served herself so the photo appears smaller than it really is); steamed rice and a small rice seasoned with soy came with. Plenty of food for dinner and leftovers for the next day. The only complaint I have is regarding the "crispy noodles" for the Chow Mein: see photo, they're the same chow mein noodles sold at the grocery store. Pan-fried noodles (yakisoba or ramen) would elevate the dish much better. Maybe this is better described as a preference on my part. Either way, not enough to ding the 5 stars for food quality & service!

Sesame chicken.

Speaking as someone who has frequented Mandarin Garden for years now, tonight's dinner was very good. I have never had a negative experience here in terms of service or food, and the takeout process has been seamless. On an average night, my experience here is five stars. The inside of the restaurant is cozy and warmly lit, and it's rarely busy enough to be a chaotic environment for those with stimulus issues and/or anxiety (coming from a person with both). I do believe we walked in on a bit of an off night; our waitress was very kind and friendly, but was overwhelmingly busy between taking phone calls and dressing the tables and taking orders (this is something I don't normally dock stars harshly for). I encourage future customers to give the staff some grace and a bit of extra patience. Our table ordered 5 sets of B Dinners (a combo plan that comes with certain choices of entrées, and each one comes with choice of soup, fried rice, egg rolls, fried shrimp, cream cheese wantons and gyoza). I ordered the sesame chicken for mine, and it has never disappointed. It's a safe, delicious non-spicy option if you're not feeling adventurous with flavor. I did dock a star tonight, however, due to some observances with cleanliness that normally isn't an issue. My tea cup had a faint light red glittery smear(?) towards the top prior to my partaking of tea, which led me to believe it was lipstick or gloss residue from another customer that hadn't washed off from doing the dishes. My first plate that dressed the table (empty) had a strange texture to it... as if the plate wasn't shiny and smooth but rather dulled with a bit of a film towards the edges. I'm germaphobic enough to pay extra close attention to the dishes and water glass cleanliness, and especially given COVID circumstances, I'd urge Mandarin to keep a closer eye on something of this sort. This is the first time I've noticed these discrepancies, but if it's off putting, then order takeout. Overall, the food lived up to the standards it's held for the years I've eaten here, and I'll continue giving this great restaurant my patronage for the foreseeable future.

Kung Pao Beef Plate
Nicole M.

Mandarin Garden is definitely some of the better Chinese food in Utah! This place is a hidden gem, very hole in the wall vibes. We got the Kung Pao Beef, which was good but we wouldn't get again. The string bean beef was the star of the meal - it was delicious. Very toppings heavy on both - I would get double meat next time. The egg flower soup had some really weird gloopy clear bits/chunks I took out. We would be back!

Honey Walnut Shrimp Plate
Janae I.

I would do 3.5, but it wasn't awesome enough for me to bump it up to 4. I specifically wanted honey walnut shrimp, and this is a place we found that had some. It did not disappoint on that front! Everything else we got was just OK, according to both me and my husband, who is a connoisseur of Chinese food. Our service wasn't great, but the place was fairly clean, even if the stick on brick wall paper made me giggle a little bit. I think I would return specifically for the shrimp if I had a hankering.

Crab in the wonton

Order was way wrong. We ordered chow mein and got sludgy vegetable sprouts instead. We also ordered cream cheese wontons and they had imitation crab in it. Feel like that should be noted on the website.

The look of the restaurant inside has changed a few times. when I was there last there was a casual seating area at the back of the restaurant. There were people there waiting for takeout orders. I really enjoyed the great chow mein with the beef. Next time I might try it with chicken or pork because the beef was a little hard to chew for my liking. The noodles tasted delicious and flavorful. I always have to order the cold cucumber salad. It is a great accompaniment to any dish. I added the peanuts to the cucumbers because I really like them together so if you order the cucumbers, they will not come with peanuts. It is a strange request, but they accommodated me with no problem. They had a case at the front of the restaurant with grapes and strawberries, skewered and coated in a crunchy sugary coating. It was a little bit messy, but I did not mind because it tasted so good. The strawberries were super sweet, fresh and juicy with a thin, sweet crunchy shell. I will try the grapes next time. Thank you for the delicious food

We stumbled upon Great Wall and gave it a shot. The inside was a little different in a weird way. There was only three tables in the front and the back had a lounge area. I believe there were more tables hidden behind the curtain. We ordered: Fried rice - the corn in the fried rice tasted almost spoiled Beef brocoli - the beef was tender but not as tasty or fresh Garlic ribs - cut into small portions was not what I expected and a little dry Only great was the service and those fruit on a stick in the glass counter. The high prices was not worth it.

I've been enjoying the culinary delights at One More Noodle House for years now. It's never failed…read moreto provide great noodle soup dishes and tonight was no exception. I ordered the Szechuan lamb noodle soup for a new flavor experience. There were four meaty lamb bones in a rich broth that was spicy but not overly spicy. The noodles were hearty and maybe were had pulled. There was a bit of cabbage in the soup and some cilantro for extra flavor. I enjoyed a cup of the complimentary barley tea that they provide as an option to water. The service was pleasant and the food was brought to my table really quickly. The interior is spartan but clean and organized. Thanks to the owners for keeping this place consistently producing a delicious product with fair pricing for the food. I'll definitely be back.

Came here on a Sunday evening for dinner and it was very busy. We were able to snag the last open table we saw. You order and pay at the front counter, then find a seat. Staff at the front were friendly. We ordered the Sour Veggie Beef Noodle Soup and Eggplant Tofu Dry Noodles. Our food came out pretty quickly and the portions were solid. The Sour Veggie Beef Noodle Soup was more sour than expected and lacked the depth and richness we were hoping for. We have had this dish at other places, and usually the vegetables are pickled and tart but don't impact the flavor of the broth as much. The beef was also cut into smaller pieces than we have experienced with other beef noodle soups. Texture of the beef was mixed with some tough pieces. The noodles were chewy and cooked well. We enjoyed the Eggplant Tofu Dry Noodles slightly more. They were more flavorful, although still on the lighter side. The eggplant was cooked really well and had a great texture. The noodles and tofu were okay. Overall, giving One More Noodle House a 3.5/5, but rounding down to a 3. Service is quick and portions are solid. It is self-service for cleaning up the table and putting dishes away. We had high expectations because of the Michelin Bib Gourmand designation, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. Not sure if we would return.
