    Tuesdays chef special... he needs to improve his special
    Jay M.

    Lunch on a Friday Listing of daily Chefs specials in addition to daily lunch specials. Friday was curry chicken chef special . Ordered Curry chicken dish and it was outstanding mild curry flavors, velvet tender chicken and alot of it .., excellent Egg drop soup , chicken wing came with lunch special, Condiment Duck sauce size soup bowl dish was a bit cost conservative One chicken wing was ok Ordered appetizer of bone in ribs... Only 5 ribs for 14.95... expensive Ribs ok with glaze, char, a bit too much gnawing or chew . The curry chicken flavors I will eat again in Fridays...

    Chicken on garlic sauce
    Christina H.

    Hearty portions. Comfortable ambiance. Has the garlic chicken, scallops with wine sauce, pea pods with mushrooms and oyster sauce, and the beef with SZECHUAN sauce. I liked the chicken dish over the beef dish. The scallops were the surprise yummy dish. Lightly battered with a sweet snd sour wine sauce. I would get that again. Nothing was too spicy. Very comfortable dining room

    pork w/ basil
    Joanie L.

    Had a nice lunch at Mandarin on a dreary Sat. afternoon. Split the amazing scallion pancakes and a pork dish with basil. It was supposed to be spicy but barely registered on the spice scale. Tasty nonetheless, very fresh flavors. That scallion pancake def. needs to be ordered though. Nice service, relaxing room, need to go back on a weekday when the lunch specials are happening.

    Gai Poo Lo Mein was bland, swimming in a tasteless brown sauce. The worst Chinese dish I can remember having in decades.

    I call my Mom Grandma Ding because she's a little ditzy. And she likes to tag along on family…read moreoutings like a dinghy attached to a bigger boat, sometimes in front, sometimes in the wake, so when we found this place on Yelp it was fate. We came for a family dinner and of course Grandma Ding was with us in her wheelchair. We only smashed into a few chairs in the big, crowded dining room. And fortunately other customers were understanding while the staff was helpful and accommodating. The small, curious child running around the dining room without parental supervision didn't get hurt when I ran him over. The menu was huge so it took a long time to order with Grandma asking questions about every item. I could see that the waitstaff was used to quick orders and rapid food delivery to the table, but the waiter remained kind and patient. He also repeated his answers loudly when she couldn't understand his English and because she didn't have her hearing aides turned up. We finally ordered a giant wonton soup, eggplant with garlic sauce, a shrimp dish, and orange chicken; all to share. Everything was fresh, hot, tasty and delicious. Grandma Ding did have to ask for the soup to be heated up because she likes it to be scalding. The dining room is worn and dishes were flying in and out as items were served and cleared. It's definitely a place for family meals, not one for an engagement proposal or romance. Perfect for our evening. Portions are generous and prices competitive with other restaurants in the area. Parking on the street is the only difficulty, particularly when you have a nonagenarian to get into the restaurant. We will definitely be back.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Newton!! Everything we ate last night was delicious…read more We ordered the: -Chicken fish maw hotpot: this was so delicious. The soup was so rich and fragrant. I will definitely come back for this. Almost every table last night ordered hot pot. -Dried Scallop and Egg white fried rice: I order this whenever I see it on the menu but Ding's makes this soooo well. It has the amazing smoky wok flavor. -Surf clam on vermicelli: so fresh, so delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try more of their dishes. The service was great, super fast and attentive. The restaurant was clean and bright.

    I've been going to Mandarin House for years and I will keep going until the place closes its doors…read morefor good. The food here is absolutely legit. The real deal. The fried chicken wings? Bomb.com. Truly incredible wings. The fried plantains? Legit. Perfect. The shrimp and broccoli is delicious and the shrimp are massive. Not the tiny little things other places try to sneak past you. These are big, beautiful shrimp. Combo plates are always on point. Everything here is just scrumptious. Only downfall? Cash only. I really wish they took debit or credit. It's 2025, folks. Let's make it happen. Other than that, Mandarin House is a winner. A strong winner. I will keep coming back.

    We ordered lunch for work from here per one of my co-worker's recommendation and we were all happy…read morewith our choice. We ordered 3 combination plates with sesame chicken, crab Rangoon, and pork fried rice, 2 combination plates with general tso chicken, crab Rangoon, and chicken fried rice, one large order of tostones, and one large order of chicken wings for $108. The food was ready after about 15 minutes and was still warm after 30 minutes when we were ready to eat. We all agreed that the food was less greasy than most Chinese food places. Also, the wings were really crispy and tasted fresh. The rice was really good, and surprisingly I did prefer the chicken fried rice. I liked the general tso chicken more than the sesame chicken since it had a bit of spice and more flavor, whereas the sesame chicken was just sweet. I did wish the breading was crispier, but I think it was just because it was take out and about a 20 minute drive. The crab rangoons were good but they did need just a little more filling for my liking. The tostones would have been a lot better right out the oil but it did bring a lot in the order. Overall, I was very satisfied with the portion sizes, flavor, and cost.

    Come for the Peking duck! 10/10…read more This is an elevated version of a Chinese family-style restaurant located in the heart of downtown Boston. Exactly what we needed after a trip of lobster rolls and fried food. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive! They also have a selection of dishes that incorporate black truffle which was intriguing. We got the chicken and truffle soup dumplings and it was so good! I'd recommend!

    JiangNan had some great dishes! I didn't try the peking duck on this visit, but the house specials…read morewere still excellent. The braised pork belly was prepared really well; the sauce was decadent without tasting like a pile of sugar, and the meat itself was very tender. The crispy tofu was also great, lots of spices and a nice golden breaded crust made for a good vegan dish (but that's why I didn't get to try the peking duck...). And the pineapple beer was a fun drink, it's about 50/50 beer and pineapple juice so it was more of a cocktail than an actual beer. The line for a table was a chaotic experience. I know that popular restaurants are always a bit of a mess, especially those that don't take reservations. But this place was especially disorganized, it took a while to get seated fora party of two, and even then, it was a consolation bar spot. I hope they can get more organized in the future!
