Lycheetini
Kiana H.

Mandarin Kitchen was cute and had a nice vibe. We only tried the lychee martini and the bang bang chicken, but both were solid, especially the bang bang chicken. I wasn't overly excited about the menu at first glance, but it's definitely a place I'd come back for lunch or dinner to try more options.

$1 oysters and happy hour bubbles
Luciente G.

I've come here more than a handful of times and always leave happy. One time I didn't like my dish and that dish is now off the menu, so I guess I wasn't alone. Most recently came in for dinner with my dad. We shared a dozen oysters that tasted fresh and delicious, great mignonette sauce. One oyster looked a little questionable to me, and they promptly replaced it. We both ordered the pad thai and it hit the spot. I have been ordering it other places, and it just hasn't tasted right. This time it did, and I am already craving it again! It comes with chicken, tofu and two plump prawns. Love the aquarium and the mandarin decor! Servers are usually hustling around as it has always been busy every time I've been in; however I'm always seated promptly with no wait.

Singapore noodles
Melissa L.

Came here with husband on a Friday night. It wasn't too busy. Love the big fish tank and decor of the resturant. I can tell the owner thought everything out very well. We ordered the tour of Asian, Singapore noodles, and salt and pepper seafood. Tour of Asia was probably the best of the three things we ordered. Dim Sum tasted like they were frozen dumplings. Bao buns was off with meat to bao ratio. Singapore noodles had ok flavor but I think the wok needed to be hotter for a drier stir fry. I was disappointed with the salt and pepper seafood. I guess I should have read the description better. However typically when you order anything salt and pepper at a Chinese restaurant it's deep fried and then dried stir fried also with not as many veggies. I'm not sure we will be back Overall 2.75/5 stars

Dinner
Holland L.

Food was gross, we got take out and ended up eating a few bites and then throwing 80$ worth of food in the trash. Definitely do not recommend. There were bitter black bits all through my wife's chicken fried rice. Looks like non stick teflon flakes

Solid packaging.

This is the first time that we went to Mandarin kitchen. It was a welcoming experience, and the food was ready exactly what they expected. We were welcomed warmly by the staff. The parking in the Montgomery Village shopping center was easy. It was a very relaxed environment and you could even say Zen. We tried to a variety of dishes and I think I may try others in the future. The duck bao was lovely and worth the money. They were presented in a taco shape with a light spiciness in the hoisin, perfectly tender duck, and fragrant and tasty cilantro and pickled veg. The beet salad was fairly standard, especially in Sonoma County. Seems a little strange on this menu, considering the other options that we ordered, but it was nice as I do love a beet salad. My husband ordered the fried rice with barbecued pork. It was fresh and well cooked. It was filled with vegetables and some barbecued pork. The dish was very vegetable forward with a limited amount of meat. Overall, it was a tasty and basic option. I ordered a chicken and peanut sauce with vegetables. What a great option! The peanut sauce had a little bit of heat and a finish of lime. Totally worth it as the vegetables were cooked perfectly. Al dente vegstables are my preference and this dish did not disappoint. My only negative feedback would be that it was quite expensive for the portions. Overall, this was a solid experience.

I've been coming here for a long time and all I can say is I love this place no matter the day! Food, service and ambiance is amazing! Everything from the decorations of the establishment to the presentation on your plate! Also if you are looking for a good place for happy hour this is the place for you

Lunch Eggplant
Lisa W.

Another fabulous experience here. All the servers are well trained, professional and attentive. Today our server was Ryan. I enjoyed the garlic eggplant last time so much I ordered it again. My friend loved her pumpkin curry. Very pleasant ambience with nice music playing in the background.

[SUN ROOM SEATING] has a live fish tank, panoramic windows & phenomenal natural lighting
Brian E.

On a casual Sunday I wandered into Mandarin Kitchen for lunch & I'm glad that I did. Moderately busy, yet "no wait". I was greeted by friendly staff who inquired about my seating preferences, & then immediately whisked me to my table. I was delighted to observe that the space was very clean, well lit, & offered such a comfy/cozy vibe with clean lines with rich materials used in furnishings. Perfect for a nice lunch, happy hour, brunch, birthday, or date night. There bar seating or sun/moon room seating. Bar seating offer the infamous "THIS MUST BE THE PLACE" fluorescent light, the bar of course, & the kitchen where all the magic is happen. With it being open you can see some of the food being prepare which is always cool! [MY ORDER] Appetizer: Bang Bang Shrimp Entrée: Singapore Noodles w/ Chicken The Bang Bang Shrimp was the best way to start my dish! The shrimp batter was crispy, light, & flavorful. The sauce was perfectly sweet & spicy. This dish was proper above thinly shredded cabbage which I ate along with the shrimp for freshness. Probably enough for two but also perfect for one "craving size" The star of the show, the Singapore Noodles! This dish was phenomenal! I'd order it over & over again! Flavoring of the curry was perfectly pungent yet tamed by the freshness of thick cut bell peppers, squash, & the squeeze of lime was nothing short of divine. I enjoyed every moment of consuming this dish! Plus it never hurts when portions are enough for two or for one with leftovers. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND eating at Mandarin Kitchen of Santa Rosa! I'll be back to experience other dishes most certainly! Thank you for hosting me for my dining experience!

The interior of this restaurant is so beautiful, I could sit in it all day. Very comfortable seating and the workers were so sweet. We mostly came here for the $1 oysters and they were AMAZING. They were fresh, sweet, and paired so deliciously with their vinaigrette! They're only the small side, which makes sense, but I love the size! I will definitely be coming back here for them. We also ordered the bang bang shrimp, har gow, and pad thai. DEFINITELY order the bang bang shrimp! Crunchy and a delicious sweet-savory flavor. DON'T get the pad thai. It was way too salty and had too much oyster sauce. The har gow was just okay, I would skip it next time. Overall, this restaurant was way better than I expected. I'll be back to try the other menu items! If you love oysters, then I definitely recommend coming here for their $1 oyster deal (Mon - Thurs).

Little Baskets & Pork Potstickers I liked the idea of the Little Baskets, but they were just so heavy on the egg noodles that they wouldn't be a repeat for me. I was missing the fresh ingredients and would have enjoyed a better balance with the veggies. The sauce was delicious, though! Oh, but those pork potstickers! Absolutely perfectly cooked with delicious flavor. I could have eaten a whole second order! For my main, I ordered the Red Pumpkin Curry with a side of rice. Oh gosh, I'm still dreaming about it! I would have liked a bit more spice and might go with the green curry next time, but I chose the red because I was drawn to the pumpkin. It was delicious on day one and somehow just as delicious on day two when I finished off the second half. I don't know why I keep forgetting about this place, but I am absolutely grateful for the reminder! It definitely won't be such a long absence next time. ​

I explained to her that I was single-sided deaf, and after that, she always approached the table from my good side! The drinks and food were delicious!! For our drinks, I had a White Sangria Spritz filled with diced mango, which was extremely refreshing, and my daughter had a glass of Zin that paired very well with the tasty and crisp (on the edges) Focaccia bread. We then split a yummy Caesar Salad with fresh dressing, and for our entrees, I chose the Chicken Marsala and my daughter the Lamb Ragu - both were savory & rich, and perfectly prepared & displayed!! We topped off the meal with two decadent desserts - Banana Apple Bread Pudding and Cannoli, and walked away feeling so satisfied and happy with our choice to dine at Eddie's - we'll definitely be back!!!

I do love that it has a large, outdoor patio in a lively spot of the Montgomery Village. This shopping area has improved so much with the changes and additions they've made. The inside is where this place really shines though. The dining room actually feels quite elegant. I love that they give you complimentary sourdough bread and whipped butter. It's a delicious way to start the meal. I ordered the same dish the last two times I came in and that is their roasted salmon. The Flavors on this dish are insane to me. The salmon is cooked perfectly and well seasoned. The couscous with almonds, raisins and arugula plus the Tzatiki sauce gives it a light, Mediterranean feel. The real star here is a pomegranate glaze over the dish that is tart, sweet and brings all the flavors together so well. My wife order their Four Cheese Lasagnettes, which she loved. It comes on a hot, cast iron dish that keeps this dish hot for quite awhile. It is such a delicious dish with three, rolled lasagna pieces. I recommend getting this. My wife said it was even better for leftovers. I am always pleased with the food and service at any Stark family restaurant in Santa Rosa. Go check any of them out!

We found that Starks was fairly nearby, so we decided to take a 5-10 minute drive there from the casino to satisfy my craving. This restaurant is gorgeous! We walked in, to my surprise it was happy hour. Sweet, I get to try a couple of things for the fraction of the cost, I love eating on a budget! From the happy hour menu we hot the crispy calamari, the bbq oysters, and a couple of glasses of house red wine. Outside of the happy hour menu, we ordered the prime rib, rib eye, the truffle mac, mushrooms and the staple at any steak house the mashed potatoes. Everything tasted incredible, will definitely come out here again for dinner.

We arrived a little early and sat at the bar to grab drinks. The bartender was friendly with taking our orders and handing us several menus. At the time of our reservation, I walked along the corridor towards the rear and spoke with the hostess. We were seated immediately (This restaurant is larger on the inside than it appears on the outside). Our server was pleasant and informed us of the specials they had on the menu. I went with the NY Strip, goat cheese Mac n cheese (surprisingly good) and crispy fried calamari. I'm not the biggest fan of calamari, but I will admit that I'm now more willing to try it again if it's prepared how Starks prepares theirs. For the steak, sides, drinks, the total was somewhere around $150 which was to be expected. No disappoints here. I'll add this, if this is your first time going to Starks, be aware that the surrounding area has quite a bit of the unhoused community. Just FYI!
