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!…

The menu I DON'T GIVE A F*@K is so cool and fun. Plus the wonderful birthday menu with your name is exciting. I enjoyed the ambiance it was dark and sexy. It was classy and the table setting was beautiful. There were some cool black and white photos on the walls. The decor is not too over the top. It's visually appealing and pleasing. My waiter Robert was poised, professional and precise. He was polite, attentive and friendly. He was a wonderful waiter. I love excellent customer service. Food was good overall no complaints. I enjoyed the fancy wedge salad. The wedge toppings were crispy bacon, red onions, blue cheese, tomatoes & ranch dressing . The lobster dumplings were different not my favorite, but not bad. They have potential, but something was missing. The sauce they were sitting in was flavorful. The adult drinks were good overall. My birthday welcome cocktail and refreshing sorbet dessert with a candle at the end of my meal was a cute treat and surprise. Definitely make a reservation! I felt they were organized and everything went smoothly. I appreciated the whole experience and left feeling happy and satisfied. I want to try happy hour in the future. It was a great way to kick off my birthday! Definitely top tier service!

My boyfriend is a hardcore foodie, so we're always looking for an experience that delivers on both food and service, and Ocean 44 did not disappoint! Of course, we had to start with drinks! I ordered a dirty gin martini with blue cheese olives, and my boyfriend went with an exquisite Old Fashioned. Both were a great way to kick off the evening. For appetizers, we ordered the Rhode Island shrimp and calamari, and everything was delicious! The homemade aioli sauce was SO good and paired perfectly with the seafood. And let's talk about those fresh crescent rolls! They were the perfect addition to the start of our meal. For our entrées, my boyfriend ordered the bone-in Iberico pork chops, and I had the butter-poached Maine lobster tails. Both were phenomenal, but I have to say, those pork chops stole the show! They were incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed them, and as someone who takes his food seriously, that says a lot! My butter-poached Maine lobster tails were delicious as well and made for a wonderful entrée. We also shared the whipped praline sweet potato, blistered shishito peppers, and roasted Brussels sprouts for the table. Everything complemented our entrées beautifully, and I loved being able to sample a little bit of everything. A huge shoutout to our server, Rojo, who made the evening even more special! Rojo was attentive, warm, and genuinely caring throughout our dinner. He made sure we were well taken care of without making us feel rushed, and that personal touch really added to the experience. Celebrating a birthday here felt special, and the service was just as impressive as the food. Ocean 44 definitely made a great impression on us. Between the expertly prepared dishes, delicious cocktails, and outstanding service, it was a birthday dinner worth remembering. We'll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu. There are still so many things we want to try! If you're a foodie looking for an elevated dining experience, Ocean 44 is definitely worth checking out. And if you get Rojo as your server, you're in great hands!

For a little less than a year, my boyfriend and I have said if we make it to our one year of dating…read morethen we'd book our anniversary at Grand Hyatt Scottsdale to try both Richard Blais' restaurants as we are fans of Next Level Chef. On the day of our anniversary, we booked La Zozzona after dining at Tiki Taka the night before (see other page for review). What We Ordered: - Beginning Toast: we tried a lovely brut to toast with, and greatly appreciate the sampling even if we both settled on ordering cocktails instead. - Bread Service (focaccia): we both loved the bread service, and I really enjoyed the rosemary on top. - Classic Negroni: my boyfriend said it was very good, and one of his favorites that he has had dining out with me. - Grey Goose Martini with Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives: my usual is a dirty martini, so I decided to order as they had blue cheese stuffed olives. I started with grey goose, and it was a great martini. - Belvedere Martini with Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives: after my first, I switched to Belvedere as I wanted to determine if I liked Grey Goose better. The jury is still out as both make a great martini, though I forever love Double Cross Vodka that is found at Carthay Circle in Disney's California Adventure. - Crispy Mozzarella: to begin the meal, we started with this as I love cheese and what's not to love about a giant mozzarella stick?! The batter was seasoned well, and was complimented deliciously by the marinara served on the side. - Raviolo, spinach artichoke, crispy shallot butter sauce, cured yolk: our server suggested, though we both didn't particularly care for. We believe it was possibly the cured yolk that was off putting. It's a pass for next time, but we understand it was just not our flavor palate as it was executed well. - Rigatoni "alla Zozzona": A house speciality, so we had to order to try. My boyfriend chose this as his dish and I tried a few bites. Definitely a delicious dish, and he was very pleased with choosing this one. - Dry Aged New York Strip Steak: My choice and don't regret the $110 price tag one bit. This is the dish of ingredients sourced from the top kitchen if this was Next Level Chef. The demi-glace was decadent and rich. It paired beautifully with the steak, and loved the potato purée. Always see purées on Next Level Chef, and other cooking shows, so it was great to see one executed to this caliber. It truly complimented the dish and paired nicely with the roasted carrots and snap peas. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dish if you dine here. - Tiramisu: To end on a sweet note, we were intrigued by table side tiramisu as we've had at a different restaurant where they assembled it entirely at your table. This is just scooped from a tray, so the experience was a little disappointing. The flavor of the tiramisu was very coffee forward, so it was still a hit. - Complimentary Anniversary Gelato (Strawberry Shortcake): This came out with a sparkler and an adorned with a beautiful piece of chocolate that said "Happy Anniversary." Though both of us aren't fond of Strawberry Shortcake, we enjoyed the beauty of this dessert and appreciate the gesture. Shout out to Robert and the other staff who made our anniversary feel extra special. If this was Next Level Chef, they would earn the immunity pin! What a beautiful dining room, exceptional dining experience, and incredible service team. One of my top five dining experiences in the last decade - thank you! Our one year anniversary will be hard to top, so perhaps this will become our yearly spot.

The menu claims the pasta is house-made, but it tasted more like boxed pasta than anything freshly made. Worse, nearly every dish lacked flavor. Nothing stood out, and everything felt bland and forgettable. The gnocchi was especially strange, it had the texture and flavor of stale bread, making it one of the oddest gnocchi dishes I've ever eaten. Across the board, the food felt uninspired and poorly executed. Given that Richard Blais' name is attached to this restaurant, I expected much more. Based on this experience, it's hard to believe he had much involvement in developing the menu.
