    Kungpao chicken

    Food service and flavors are on point. This place is a must try support local. Best Chinese I've had in abq in 6 yrs that we have lived here.

    Outside The Mandrin

    We tried one of our old favorites now under new management. Our waiter, Ivan was very sweet and courteous. The portions were large and delicious. We had an old favor and a brand new chef special. It was awesome. We're definitely going back..

    No customers really inside but the lady that owns the place is very nice. when you walk in you may say hmmm... nobody, don't let that fool you. Actually a nice place. Seemed to be clean but did that a table sat unclean while I ate my meal. I was the only person there so they could have cleaned it. Meal on the menu did not seem expensive but when I got the bill $28 for the special and order of egg rolls, hmmm... I must say though this is one of the cleaner looking establishments. Staff was friendly and told me they do sell things like egg rolls in bulk. The food was okay. I think maybe change the rice. I had fried rice and it was bland. Pork egg rolls had very little pork. But the service will bring you back I say visit as you will like the place.

    Egg rolls and vegetable tempura. - The image shows two fried egg rolls on a white plate with a red decorative border, placed on a table. In the background, there is a larger plate filled with vegetable tempura, including battered and fried vegetables. Additional items include a glass of soda, a small bowl of red dipping sauce, and a cup, all on a beige tablecloth. The setting appears to be a Chinese restaurant with a casual dining atmosphere.

    The food and service is amazing. Fresh and hot. The egg rolls are made fresh and delicious egg drop soup. This is a place to come and have some great food!

    You know there are some places you just love going to when dinner at home is not and option and you are craving something scrumptious... well, Mandarin does it for me. Before I get into my review, let me tell you that the 1 star ratings Mandarin has received are absurd and seem to be coming from people who sound like they're idea of good chinese food is Panda Express. Don't pay any attention to them. Do yourself a favor and visit Mandarin. The place is immaculate. Tables are clean and set before you arrive. You can tell the owners (which by the way are the cook and waitress) are whole-heartedly devoted to showing their customers a nice dining experience. The lady is so sweet and personable and the gentleman assists her in bringing your food to your table. Plate presentation is a big deal to me and Mandarin has yet to fail. I live 2 minutes away and so I try really hard not to go too often because I don't want to tarnish it. They have many different lunch and dinner options. I'd recommended the Kung Pao Chicken and General Tso's Chicken. FYI- their sriracha is tremendous. I'd recommend bringing a group of friends or family. Come hungry.

    See all

Even though its a small parking lot in a strip plaza. Fresh hand pulled noodles are good, which were a little soft for my personal preference, but still good. It may sound strange but things with pork will taste porky. My girlfriend doesn't like pork, but can eat it, but she ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings and it was too porky for her. For me, it tasted just right because this is the flavors I grew up with. The dumpling dough had a nice texture that I prefer. My Ramen had a big fatty pieces of pork which is what I like. They didnt skimp. It was a good bowl of noodle soup. Wouldn't say its the best ramen I ever had, but it was good. Beef roll was good, I would say its one of the better ones I've seen in ABQ where its really filled with beef. Would recommend this. We also got soup dumplings and I will say that we didnt get the proper spoons for them. At first I thought they just didnt offer them, but looking at photos, we never got them. It makes a difference for your eating experience and enjoyment. We will definitely be back as this is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area and you really get some real Chinese variety and not your basic generic stereotypical menu.

It feels so welcoming, and I adore that they are ready to serve at any time such a luxury for a spontaneous meal. While the atmosphere is understated and unpretentious, the quality of the cuisine is truly on par with the finest Asian kitchens. I opted for the Beef Ramen ($13.95), and it was a total triumph! It arrived remarkably fast, piping hot and with just the perfect hint of spice to make the flavors pop. It was exactly what I needed to satisfy a craving. If you appreciate authentic, well-prepared comfort food served with a heart, this is the place to be. I am officially charmed and will most certainly be a regular here

    What a cool experience…read more The food came out fresh, hot and delicious which is a great combination. I believe this to be a great find of a restaurant especially since I normally only eat New Mexican cuisine when visiting ABQ. Be patient as the food is made once ordered so don't be in a hurry.

There is a good variety & selection on the menu. We ordered our usual go tos: pork shumai, shrimp har gow, pan fried chives, chinese broccoli, beef rice noodle, baked egg tart, mushroom shumai, steamed chicken feet, curry rice noodle roll, sweet tofu. The food was great and made us feel like we had made it back to Houston Asia town again. Our 2 honorable mentions were the baked egg tart which was crispy and the sweet tofu which was a perfect balance of sweet and flavor. This is the only place we've found so far that has these 2 items on the menu. There were many other items that we wanted to try but could not this visit because we were stuffed - next time. My only negative was that the shrimp har gow was a little bit on the gummy side. I would give a 4.5 star rating because of this, but since that's not an option I'm happy to give them a 5 star review because it was barely an issue. Everything else was good! We're so happy to have a place that carries some hard to find asian food items that we miss. The service was friendly and attentive and there was a good vibe. The restaurant looks well-maintained and clean. Highly recommend this place.

We would get Dim Sum in Flushing, NY and I have nothing but great memories from it. So! When I found out this spot brings out the carts for Dim Sum - I ran over! We went for Saturday brunch and it was empty. I ordered for the table. The chicken feet really stood out to me and were delicious. I will say...they advertise it is homemade...but I'm not too sure. The soup dumplings definitely had a precooked frozen packaged texture / flavor - similar the ones you can get from the grocery store. BUT! Overall: we had a fantastic experience. The family was very friendly. I think they were surprised how much I ordered. I was excited and happy. And yes, we finished it all lol If you've never had Dim Sum then you MUST come here for the experience alone. They bring out the carts and you pick what you'd like. This is a great way to spend BRUNCH with a large group. Forget the American brunch and try the Chinese one! It's a new experience and will be fun.

    I give it a 4 stars for dimsum in ABQ, but probably 3 stars in larger cities. What I liked about it…read morewas...this was one of the traditional places where they pushed dimsum carts for you to pick what you liked (albeit smaller selection of food...since dimsum isn't so popular in ABQ). The food tasted ok..but I appreciated the kindness of the staff and their service mindedness. I really wished they had more selection of food though. For example, I was hoping their would have fried taro paste in birds nest (ok..I know..this one is really chinese), or even custard buns (this one..I was surprised they didn't have), or..even chicken feet (ok..I don't eat these anyways but hey..it's a testament to what dimsum place would look like). But otherwise, if you arelooking to take someone to try dimsum and aren't so put off by the ambience (the place is quite unassuming..but was fine to me), this id probably a more authentic dimsum place in ABQ to me (granted the sign on the street was a Lil too much of an acclamation of NM's state of dimsum)!
