Beef chow fun rice noodles
Kurt P.

Small dining room, nice and clean. Compact menu compared to most Chinese restaurants, but I'd rather they do a few things well (they do) than do lots of things poorly. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Our waitress must've spent 15 minutes talking to us! Portions are large and exceptionally well executed. I had the beef chow fun noodles and it was absolutely perfect - flavorful, tender beef, just enough sauce, and a good number of bean sprouts which really make the dish. Two of us had the house special kung pao which they both said was excellent. One had the orange chicken which looked beautiful. 3/4 of us had enough to take home for another meal. Highly recommended - we will be back for more!

Mongolian Beef
Izzy O.

Stopped in here after seeing a movie tonight and was super impressed. The Mongolian beef had a really great sauce that was slightly sweet but also spicy. The Orange chicken was crispy, sweet, and spicy and our entrees came with a big old bowl of rice. Everything was delicious! Our server was very friendly and made sure everything was good for us. The restaurant is small but they fit a good amount of tables in there. It's also super clean! Definitely check it out and get the Mongolian beef!

House Lo Mein
Terri R.

My BF wanted to grab something quick for a late lunch. We went to Mandarin Kitchen and were greeted warmly by the woman working. It's a nicely decorated and inviting place and we commented that we would have enjoyed dining in because of the aesthetic vibes. We were in a hurry so just ordered a House Lo Mein to go. We love these noodles! The Lo Mein had so much flavor and a good portion size as well. It was really packed in the take out container. We kept commenting how we wished we had this place back home. Definitely recommend!

My friends and I ordered takeout while we were staying in Arizona. All the meals came with fried rice. I got the chicken lo mein which tasted really good. I like they have chilli oil instead of just soy sauce and duck sauce. The thank you note was so sweet. I only took a star because the fried rice wasnt the best. It didn't taste like a fresh batch at all. If that was different, it would've been a perfect meal.

Combination Fried Rice
Bill W.

Very impressed with this place. I have been here several times and always receive very friendly, prompt service with excellent food. A small restaurant in a strip mall but you walk into the place and feel comfortable and welcomed. I have had several different dishes with consistent good quality and taste. Today, I had a chicken egg roll, hot and sour soup and combination fried rice. The food was delivered promptly, hot and fresh. And very tasty. Love this place. Even though I have several Chinese restaurants closer to me, I will drive further for this quality food and service.

Pepper Steak With Onion
Lilian Z.

Not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews!! Partner and I were visiting AZ for a tournament and we were craving Chinese food. Though there are very few in the Tempe/Scottsdale area, this place definitely hit the mark!!! Employees are super nice, food is amazing and the portions are huge. We ended up here 3 times within the week and a half we were here. I've had the beef broccoli, the beef with mixed vegetables and the pepper steak with onions, all 10/10 would recommend!!

My group and I traveled from California to attend an event and to celebrate my birthday. Following our meeting, we conducted a local food search on Yelp and decided to dine at Mandarin Kitchen. This establishment boasts a compact location with friendly staff who exhibit warm smiles and pleasant personalities. I have a particular fondness for Thai Milk Tea, especially when it is expertly prepared to achieve a perfect balance of sweetness. The Thai Milk Tea at Mandarin Kitchen is indeed flawlessly balanced. For lunch, I ordered the Chef's Special Kung Pao Delight and Edamame. The vegetables were crispy and cooked to perfection. The Kung Pao sauce was flavorful and not overly spicy. I am thoroughly enjoying my birthday celebration at Mandarin Kitchen.

Thank you note. What a nice touch!
Mike F.

We had food delivered last night and it was so good! Hot and fresh! We had Sesame Chicken Mongolian Beef Chicken Fried Rice We will definitely be a repeat customer!

Tofu with mushrooms and side of rice.
Scott M.

Service was excellent, very friendly. Ambiance of food was excellent. The price is very reasonable. First night I had the Mongolia Beef was excellent. Second time I had Tofu with mushrooms outstanding. Highly recommend!

Landscape print on the wall and umbrellas on the ceiling!
Bernie D.

Ordered two dishes and both were good! The vegetables were stir fried just right, with enough crunch left! Mapo tofu sauce was flavorful and not salty! Heat was lowered per request. Small, clean dining area with beautiful landscape wallpaper and cute umbrellas above. Service was prompt and server polite.

I saw an area that said to click on it to get two free egg rolls and when I clicked on it, it disappeared. What's going on with that? And when I clicked on it, it disappeared?

Hello, Thank you for checking in our restaurant. I’m not sure where you saw the free egg roll… 

Are any of the chicken dishes made with breast meat? Wish the menu descriptions were more, uh, descriptive.

Yes, most our chicken are white meat, except teriyaki/orange/sesame/G Taos chicken . Let us know your preference when you order, we can substitute all white meat for you!…

first off, service was great!! no issues at all with that, the food was just VERY very bland. i got…read moremiso soup & spicy edamame to start off - miso soup tasted watered down & spicy edamame had no flavor to it. i then got the vegetable spicy wok n roll entree with an upgrade to udon noodles, that also was VERY bland & had no spice whatsoever & i even asked the server if it is spicy or just some spices added., she told me it would be spicer than the other options. (not her fault she is a server not a cook & i appreciated her giving me feedback). i even added sriracha & chili oil & it still was very unflavorful. the texture was good everything was cooked correctly just very bland that i only took three bites. i took it togo knowing i can add seasoning at home & obviously tipped 20% as the service was great & not their fault i didn't like the food, but just keep this all in mind if you decide to try it! i make my own udon noodles-miso soup- & edamame at home often & it's very hard to mess up the flavor so idk if it was an off day, but definitely wouldn't order any of those options again. i know i could of said the food didn't taste good, but the server was busy & i felt bad as someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for 8 years now as a server/linecook/manager. i wish it tasted better than it was because the ambiance was amazing as well!! i feel like its easy fixes to make it more flavorful. if you aren't use to Japanese or Chinese cuisine im sure it would be good, but someone who eats it often it did not have the expected/known flavor it does elsewhere. to the owner, i did not keep my receipt so i cant show proof but i am being honest & did dine in on 9/28 around 1pm. i sat at the bar top & got two drinks plus the three food items.

Best Chinese food around! And yet I drive 45 minutes because it's not "around" where we live…read more I have no idea how it's been five years of coming to this restaurant that I didn't write a review. The food is outstanding, the service is beyond perfection, and we are never disappointed. Never! And I don't use that word lightly. Sarah is always our server and she is incredible! I just can't say enough about her. We appreciate all she does. And the bus boys are always friendly and on top of your water, iced tea, and clearing the table after each phase of the meal. Our go two items are first the New York egg roll. You cannot go wrong. We've also had many of their soups, which come with fresh fried wontons, sweet-and-sour and mustard sauce. We enjoy a nose-running mix (lol) of these two items, but yours doesn't have to be. And if you like shrimp, these jumbo shrimp will not disappoint. Our go to is always the sweet and pungent shrimp. It's incredible. Lightly fried, we can't come here without ordering them. The next go-to is the beef chow fun. You can order it with any meat, but this is our favorite. The meat is so tender. I absolutely love this noodle dish! They also have low mein, which is also delicious, but the chow fun we have to order at every visit. Next is their dried green beans. Perfectly cooked and fried, just enough that they're still crispy. They are so flavorful! My other favorite is their chicken and black bean sauce. On this trip, we didn't order it, I ordered the shrimp with snow peas. Both are incredible. I think one of the most impressive parts of this establishment is that the owner and manager always comes to every table, at some point during your meal. From start to finish this place is just perfection. I've tried, on multiple occasions, to get them to open a place out in Verrado - Buckeye Arizona, which is where we live, but to no avail. But I will never give up!

The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and had a great flavor. The broth in the wonton soup was clean, light, and delicious. My only disappointment was the wontons themselves. They were hallowed no filling, which isn't what I expected from wonton soup. Is that normal for this place or was it a mistake? (I'm not sure if that was a mistake or just how they prepare it, but it kept the meal from being excellent.) The packaging was also good everything arrived hot, secure, and nothing leaked or spilled. Overall I'd rate it a 7.5 out of 10

I stopped by for a takeout order and picked up the Spicy Boiled Wontons and Orange Chicken, and both hit the spot! The spicy boiled wontons are packed with flavor, with that delicious sauce bringing just the right amount of heat. The orange chicken is another satisfying choice, with its signature sweet and savory flavor that makes it hard to resist. Customer service was good, and the service was super fast, making this an easy stop when you're craving quality Chinese takeout without the wait. China Chili continues to prove why it's a favorite. Fresh food, bold flavors, authentic dishes, and efficient service? That's a winning combination in my book. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

Come for the Peking Duck; stay for the Duck Sauce y'all!…read more China Chili is absolutely fantastic! I've ordered from them through Uber Eats and Grubhub multiple times, and I already knew I loved their orange chicken and fried rice. But when a friend suggested we actually go inside and eat there, I thought, why have I been keeping this deliciousness strictly a takeout relationship? We went on a Saturday around 3p. The restaurant is simple, casual, and no-frills. Don't come looking for romance or Instagram-worthy ambiance. This is not the place for mood lighting. You're here to EAT, and honestly, I respect that. We were seated within about 5 minutes, and our server came by shortly afterward. My friend is a regular who swears by the Peking duck with buns, so we ordered that to share. I got my Sauvi B, my friend ordered a Chinese beer, and almost immediately, delicious egg drop soup appeared. No doctoring it up, no adding a bunch of stuff. It was perfect as is. Then came the Peking duck. Beautifully presented, expertly sliced, with crispy skin and all the fixings: shredded scallions, plum sauce, duck sauce, and spicy mustard. That spicy mustard? AMAZING. So... how did I build these little masterpieces you ask? Open the bun, spread on that delicious dark plum sauce, add the duck, scallions, a little crispy skin, and a dab of spicy mustard. Close it up and proceed to mind your business because baaaay-bee... that first bite was everything! I ate approximately 7 mini duck sandwiches. SEVEN! And I regret absolutely nothing. You can also order the Peking duck with pancakes, which I plan to try on my next visit. Because yes, there WILL be a next visit. And the one after that. The service was excellent, too. Attentive without hovering, efficient without rushing us, and perfectly pleasant. Nobody was trying to become our new best friend, but nobody was rude, either. Just good, straightforward service that let us enjoy our meal. By the time we left around 4:15, the restaurant was getting busy. All kinds of people were coming in, and plenty seemed to know exactly what they wanted. You could tell this place has its regulars, and I can absolutely see why. Now, let me address something very important from the perspective of a NEWYAWKUH (yes, that's how we say it). Since moving to Arizona 3 and a half years ago, finding truly delicious duck sauce has been the bane of my existence. I know, I know. First-world problems. But if you know, YOU KNOW. China Chili has the sauces, the fixings, the flavor, and the goods. That duck sauce and spicy mustard alone deserve a standing ovation. I can't wait to return with a bigger group so I can try more of the menu. But if you're going with just one other person, the Peking duck with buns is an excellent place to start. China Chili has officially secured another repeat customer. If you haven't been, go. And if you're already a regular, I now understand your loyalty. Come hungry. Bring friends. Order the duck. And for the love of all things delicious, don't sleep on the sauces!
