Don't let the storefront fool you, this is some of the best chinese food in the area. Sure it's a bit dingy, but the food comes hot and quickly and they're always friendly. Veggies are surprisingly fresh and portions are huge. The general tso's tofu is legitimately the best I have ever had. Cash only for in store ordering, but they have an ATM. read more

The haters always hate on Chinese food places but this place knows what they are doing. Tonight specifically they put their whole mandarin houseussy into this chicken and broccoli. I order from here so often that GrubHub asks me on Sunday night if I want to order Chinese food because they see how often I do. You wanna support small businesses? Support this one read more

my go to spot for a cheap tasty meal, delivery is fast, food is always hot. Never had a bad meal from them they are simple and quick

So glad this Fishtown staple has reopened its doors! Mandarin House is your typical neighborhood American Chinese food joint that you can always count on for delicious and consistent food. The only downside is that they're cash only, but there is an ATM across the street if you find yourself short on cash! They also have cheap and filling weekday lunch specials which come with a soup/soda. read more

I ordered delivery and they got my order wrong. I got a chicken dish and they sent pork. When I called to ask them to refund me or send the right order. They told me no, that I'm wrong it's chicken. I'm telling you this is pork. They absolutely refused, they told me to send a picture which I did. Clearly it was pork but still they denied it, then they sent a driver to come back and picked it up! This was just so bizarre I've never been treated more rudely. Never heard back from them but they refunded me. Guess they finally agreed it was chicken... read more

Food was excellent! My husband had the shrimp with Broccoli and white rice. I had the roast egg Foo young. Both of us had the pork egg rolls. Food was reasonably priced. This is our new favorite!! read more

My order took over an hour and was promised delivery each time I called and in the end showed up cold. Worst food and horrible customer service. read more

This place surprised me - I've ordered sushi here twice and wasn't expecting much, but their fish is good for a Chinese-focused place and their rolls are always fat with fish. Salmon isn't the freshest you could ever get, but it's good. Yellowtail is always good. I also tried their garden salad which is standard, and the wonton soup is also pretty good for being $3. The sushi is a bit pricey but I also get it on Door Dash. Impressed overall and my new go-to for delivery sushi. read more

Don't let the sketchy looking exterior deter you away from this place; if you need some quick, late night take out, Mandarin House is definitely of decent quality to suit your needs. Ordering is a fast process and food is prepared fairly quickly. In my case, it was less than 10 minutes between ordering and pick up. While most of the food is pretty average, the Pork Ho Fun proved to be very tasty and had very large, thick pieces of pork belly. The crab ragoons were also very yummy too. You get 8 extremely large pieces for only $5. Note that this place is cash only, but there is an ATM inside. But if you do delivery, you should probably make sure you have cash on you. read more

Got the lunch special, $7 for general tsos chicken with rice and wonton soup. Great prices for the amount of food you get. Food is hot and tastes fresh. Cash only and you can order online. read more

Mandarin House - L1. General Tso's Chicken Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Order was finished quickly, but had a few qualms with the quality. The hot and sour soup didn't really taste great, and the crab rangoons were pretty much empty with only a little bit of cream cheese inside. The beef ho fun had lots of vegetables in it, but the beef was a bit stringy and the mushrooms didn't taste great in the whole composition of the dish. The fried rice was just alright as well, but the egg rolls were nice and crispy. I asked for them to add extra packets of hot mustard and soy sauce to the bag, but instead, they didn't even give me napkins, forks, or anything to eat the food with. Overall not a great order, but got the job done until I crave Chinese food again. read more

I suppose decent ? Pork dumpling dough is way too thick and almost potato like..."szechuan chicken" had a spicy warning next to it but I'm still waiting for any kick. **fast delivery late night** read more

Food is pretty good. Cheap spot and good Portions for the price. I like this spot better than the other Chinese foods within this area. Attached are recent pics of menu read more

I'm not sure why this place isn't rated higher, they always get it right. Food is hot, fresh, and on time (if not early!). Portions are generous too. They are my go-to for Chinese takeout. read more

Great lunch special deal and the food is always delicious. Nice people and a great location.

Convenient but not worth the short distance. Theres no vegetarian option on the lunch menu and when you order the full size off the regular menu, there's barely any tofu. Definitely worth trekking elsewhere. read more

BEST CHINESE IN FISHTOWN. definitely. their food is tasty and cheap, it's never made me sick either. i keep coming back. one funny thing is that when you call to order they never tell you the time it'll be ready or how much your total is, they don't even take your name or phone number. but your food's always ready in like 10 to 15 minutes. just gotta remember what you ordered since they don't have your name. read more

This is your basic neighborhood Chinese spot . The kind of place that seems sorta shady, but is the only Chinese place around so you deal. There is really no reason to frequent Mandarin House unless you are a Fishtown local with a craving for quick take-out. The sesame chicken is pretty ok, and the general Tso. The crab rangoon is very tasty. Pork fried rice is good, but the lo mein tastes very blah. Service is decent enough for a take-out joint and they've always been pretty quick with my order. I've never ordered delivery - but then again I can't see why. If you don't live close enough to walk here, then I'm not sure why you're going. read more

Perfect for good, fast Chinese take-out! General Saus chicken & chicken lo mean are classic take-out

I have a soft spot for Americanized Chinese take out food. For what it is, this place is better than most Chinese takeouts I've been to. Even though every time I call for takeout, there is like an urgency to get off the phone on their end, they are actually really nice when I go pick up my order. They just seem to be really busy all the time. I still have yet to figure out how they know what I ordered when I never give them my name over the phone. I really like this place because they are efficient, on point with the orders and fast. As for the food, they have really good wonton and hot and sour soups, which I order eat time. Their combo plates are an amazing deal and come with pork fried rice, egg roll and a soup! Oh and they have the absolute BEST CHICKEN WINGS/FRIED CHICKEN. I don't know what they do to them, but they are perfectly seasoned and so flavorful. Usually being a fan of chicken tenders, these wings have changed my mind. They also have a way with broccoli. Any dish that has broccoli in, the broccoli is always perfectly cooked and slightly crisp. Alot of times I get the broccoli with garlic sauce combo and am completely satisfied. There are some things that haven't been that good, but for basic things they are a go to place for me. I can consistently trust them to have good Chinese takeout. read more

I normally don't bother writing a review, never felt the need for it. But tonight, seriously, I felt I had to! I only ordered two simple items, General Tso's chicken and house special fried rice. Simple enough right?!? The General Tso's was brown and old looking!! The taste?! Nasty, vile and fowl! The rice had hair in it, not just one strand, but long and black !!!!! I packed everything up and threw it in the trash !!!! What a fucking waste of $15.00 !!!!!! Never Never Never again!!!! read more

This is my favorite Chinese food joints in the Fishtown/Northern Liberties area! The egg rolls are the best and for less than $10 you can get a whole meal with pork fried rice and an egg roll and have enough for two dinners! I love their chicken and broccoli. It's cash only but if you order through GrubHub you can avoid needing cash also, so easy! Definitely returning here for my Chinese food fix. read more

Great Food. Delivery is always on time. General So chicken a winner. Dumplings and egg roll too! read more

it's basically the only chinese food place I know of in the fishtown area. It's just like every other chinese food spot. i didn't get sick from their food (points in their corner), it's cheap (duh). the one guy that works there seems like he wants to rip the throats out of any one who talks to him even though its his job to take orders (whatever). ya know. it is what it is. read more

Your run of the mill Chinese takeout place. It's been here forever so they must be doing something right. Decent, cheap and fast. Get a combo which includes egg roll and rice. They also don't deliver their food in styrofoam which is always a plus in my book. read more

Ordered delivery, took 40 minutes I would say that's fair. Still hot upon arrival and that's what matters. Food was delicious I will attach photos. They forgot to add forks and napkins to the bag, but I was home so we simply used our own. The only real complaint I would have is that they sent me the wrong rice with my platter. I ordered white rice with my combination and received pork fried rice. read more

My local Chinese take-out. Its only about a 5 min walk from where i live. This is where I will go for Chinese take-out for my wife, friends etc. The reason i chose to come here was purely because it was the closest to where we live. We prob have something from here 2/3 times a month and have been coming here since Nov 2015. I usually walk in and place order and they have always been pretty fast. Its not the prettiest place in town but dont be put off by that. The food i have had has always been good hot and just as good if not a bit better than average, also the prices seem fair. My favs are singapore mai fun, chicken mai fun:) I cant see any reason not to continue dining here. read more
