We just had landed in italy and wanted "home" food for dinner because carbs wouldn't be the great in the evening. Found this places accidently and couldn't have been more happier! While the decor felt like an old parlor, the food was on point which is all that matter really, and the service was good. Hopefully others will get to enjoy this place! read more

**3.5 Stars** Change of Pace It's a tale as old as time: tourists in Italy The al dente pasta isn't quite what you expect or as easy to consume constantly with your unrefined American palette Or you're Asian and you underestimate the challenge of going days straight with pizza and pasta Mandarin Chow isn't a particularly stellar Chinese restaurant but it's a welcome reprieve if you've had your fill of gluten and carbs and are craving something warming for the colder nights The interior is spacious and is filled with an selection of locals but also many tourists looking for that aforementioned change of pace The menu is a mix of traditional Chinese dishes with soups, noodles, and fried rice well represented and no particularly region focused on A few Taiwanese items listed are a gem (braised meat rice and fried chicken) and that's what we honed on as well as the soups sold by the bowl (when you're desperate, you're willing to pay the price of entry) We left happy, satiated, and went back twice! Vermicelli Noodle Soup €5 / Hot and Sour Soup €5 / Taiwanese Meat Ball Soup €5 / Beef Soup Noodles €13 / Braised Pork Rice €10 / Fried Black Pepper and Salt Chicken €14 / Sticky Rice Ball with Black Sesame €6 Mandarin Chow (Rome, Italy) read more

I had low expectations.....Chinese food in Rome.... I mean C'mon, Italian vs Chinese cuisine! Boy, was I wrong..... I'm from the Bay Area, grew up in San Mateo Ca; Szchechuan Flower, Szechuan Restaurant (N B st) Canton Gardens (Stockton ca), All which no longer exist were, at least to my liking, amongst the best! Mandarin Garden will be added to that list. If in Rome, and you feel like trying out a different cuisine, give this place a try! I looked at other restaurants (Chinese) in Rome and they all look tempting but time wasn't on my side---to explore them. I had dinner here twice, and will eat here again if i come revisit this city... We all have different opinions.... Let me know if there's another favorite, here or in the Bay Area ( SFO) I love trying out new flavors!!!! July 19th 2023 read more

The food here is excellent!! The flavor was so delicious and my family is very picky. We ordered a little of everything which was the best idea. Each and every dish was bursting with flavors. I could not stop eating it was so good. Not only was the food fantastic but the service was exceptional. The waitresses were so kind and the manager/owner was very nice. They treated my kids so nice. You should make reservations because if it is too crowded they will turn you away but that is only because they have limited capacity and don't want you to have to wait longer. The restaurant was super clean and the price was extremely reasonable. The air conditioning was also a huge plus!! I will be back for sure next time I come to Rome !! Thank you for such a great experience. read more

FOOD- 4 STARS given because the food was good! SERVICE- NO STARS- the owner needs an attitude check! I have never encountered anyone like her before. We had gone by to see if they had a bar, they did not, so we left. But we had asked the middle- aged gentleman that works there to see if we can order takeout for later. He said yes as long we come back by 10:30 PM. So, when we came back, we asked the lady (owner) if we can order takeout, she flat out said no! I walked out immediately to find the young man that we spoke to earlier, and he was able to let us order! As we were seating there, waiting for our food, another waitress wanted to help us, but she told her not to! WTH?? We also witnessed her blow her nose loud, (mind you this was happening right in front of us) and did not wash her hands! Then she started picking her teeth with a toothpick! This was all so inappropriate for running a restaurant! read more

Located near Via Veneto in northern area of the city. I came in for dinner on a weeknight without any knowledge of the place but the positive was it's conveniently minutes of walking from the Marriott Flora Hotel. We were fortunate to get a table since they were quite busy even for a Tuesday. Being from southern California U.S. I'm spoiled with great and reasonable Chinese restaurants. The interior is upscale decorated and spotless including the bathrooms. They offer complimentary Internet which worked efficiently. We started off with crab asparagus soup and followed with spicy shredded pork and pepper beef. Overall all of the food was very tasty and the right portion for two. The total tab including hot tea and rice was $49 euros. I would recommend this place if you're craving for solid Chinese food in a nice atmosphere.They also accept credit cards. read more

Like many others, we were craving something non-Italian after almost a week in Italy. This place was just around the corner from our hotel, so we tried it out. Might not have been the best idea as it is a very quiet restaurant and we had a baby with us, lol, but we enjoyed the food. I do think they make things a little on the saltier and saucier side, but I understand why they do that -- it's better than having customers think your food is too bland, even if it does make it a little less "authentic". My wife liked it so much that she later ordered dinner from here to go ... twice! read more

Delightful Chinese restaurant in Rome. The service was excellent compared to other restaurants my family and I dined at. The waiter was helpful and gave many recommendations and pricing since some things such as fish were charged by the weight. My only con about this place was they charge 2Euro for each bowl of white rice, I'm not sure why it didn't come with the meat dishes we ordered. Coming from the USA it's hard to fathom the idea of having to pay additional for rice when it's always free when you order entrees at authentic and non authentic Chinese restaurants. Other than that we really enjoyed the meal and left full. I could be wrong but if your Chinese there may be a chef speciality or off the menu items you can ask for. That's typical here in the US and I saw other families order hot pots I didn't see on the menu. If you are looking for something other than pizza and pasta, come here and Enjoy! read more

This may sound terrible to say but after many days of delicious pasta and pizza around Italy my family and I were craving something different. Granted we are Asian American and generally eat a Chinese dish (either at a restaurant or home cooked) several times a week and therefore such a craving isn't surprising. We were pleasantly surprised with this place and agree with the other reviewer who praised it's authentic flavors. We had the steamed shrimp dumplings and pork bao which were both very good. We also had several chicken and pork dishes which were all flavorful and tasty. read more

This place is almost on par with Szechuan restaurants back home in New York! Title says it all pretty much. Let me preface by saying that my wife and I brought both sets of our parents to Europe on vacation. We are all Chinese and two of our parents only really eat Chinese food. Thus, we have been searching for Chinese restaurants pretty much every city we've been in so far. After 3 separate failed attempts at getting even mediocre Chinese in Rome so far, we were skeptical about this place from the reviews on Yelp. But let me reassure you, if you like actual Chinese food (not General Tso's, which is NOT Chinese!) and especially Szechuan style spicy, then this place is a must go. I would give this 4 stars back home in the US, but here in Rome it's definitely a 5 star. Portions are actually pretty good, definitely larger than most. Definitely recommend the sliced beef with vegetables in chili oil, or chicken, or pretty much anything on their menu that's spicy, we ordered all of it to try and all were good. A couple things to note: 1. Don't be scared off by the prices, they seem a bit high but the portions are much larger than you'd get anywhere else. 2. Rice is $2 a bowl 3. They do not charge a service fee, so if you also like the food, plan to leave a tip. read more

I just took a cab here at 8pm on a Monday night for dinner and the restaurant was very much closed. Did they go out of business? Yelp says they are open till 11pm. read more

Was craving Chinese food after an overload of Italian food. This place was not far from our hotel. It's much fancier than I expected for a Chinese restaurant, being that I'm used to New York fast food Chinese restaurants. I had the general tso's chicken and shrimp fried rice. Both were very good. Good portion for two people. A but pricier than expected but hit the spot. I wish they made this version of general Tso's in NY as opposed to the breaded one. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a Chinese food fix in Rome read more

Mandarin - General Tso's chicken. Really good and saucy. - Chinese Near Me - Rome, RM

In Rome, where pasta, pizza and prosciutto are everywhere, you crave a break. Chinese food may seem a departure from all the Italian food, but not here. The pan-fried dumpling appetizer was nothing special, the sauce for it, bland. We shared the classic general Tso's chicken and spicy pork. They tasted identical; a nasty brown sauce, likely gravy of some sort and no spice, not even garlic. In this city, a dish without garlic when it should have some is practically a crime. A couple next to us took one bite of a whole fish. The girl turned pale and sent the rest back. They paid and promptly left. A dated old place, the matchy, matchy wallpaper and draperies looked to have survived a few centuries, without good reason. Paying with cash worked, they seemed to have a problem running credit cards. read more

I read many bad reviews of this Resturant on the site. Nice atmosphere. My wife and I we're ready to taste something other than Italian after two weeks in Italy , although the food here in Italy is delicious. We ordered chicken corn chowder and hot and Sour soups. They both were very tasty. Also the Fried rice was good but very pale. It had the consistency of sticky rice with a few peas and small bits of meat. The entrees were a different story. I ordered General Tso's chicken. It was not the same as at home. Had a vinegar taste but I ate half. My wife overheard the waiter saying to another table that this was an American dish. It was OK but not what I was used to. Thank goodness the portion was small. My wife ordered almond chicken. Again, not bad but very much different from USA normal. Very very bland! Overall it was expensive, the staff was not very friendly and the food was so so. However, the locals seemed to love it as there were many eating there. For us it was not very good, but I think it was just not the same as our back home taste. read more

What a joke of a restaurant. Sat down, ordered, and proceeded to wait over 40min to see two tables after us get their food first.

If you want to take a break from all the pasta and pizza you've been getting, this is definitely the place to go! Their Chinese food are delicious! Totally resolved my craving especially with the hot and sour soup. read more

The service I experienced was no different than the service I've had elsewhere in Rome. The food was fantastic and the flavors were very close to what I've had in China. I'd say the dishes might be a bit pricey but they seem on par for the area, we were a table of 7 and ate for less here than other "Pizzerias" we ate at. read more

When we arrived the service and waiters were very nice and friendly, treating us like family which was nice. The food tasted good, however some wasn't available, particularly the char siu baos and Pan fried buns. We ordered the big cube of pork and the hollowed greens and both tasted fantastic, very authentic and full of flavor. read more

The food was really good - it was a nice break from pizza and pasta. The restaurant is open late (until 11:00pm) and they accept credit cards in case you are out of euros. The food is moderately priced but comparable to a pizza at another restaurant depending on what you order. We had pork dumplings which were delicious. The general zos is different from the general tso in the USA, but it was pretty good. The sweet and sour pork was good but also different from that in the USA. Overall, the meal was pretty good. The staff was friendly. We took the food to go and they packed us plates and silverware. The food was ready on about 20 minutes. read more

The food is good. As a person who travels a lot I have become accustom to things being different. The wonton soup was good. The wontons are small but ok. There is nothing else in the brother besides the wontons. The generals chicken was good as well. It had some spice which is what I enjoy. There was something I had not raised before in the sauce but I enjoyed it. The beef with scallions was enjoyable as well. It really had no bold taste to it. It says quickly fried and e meat was a bit more chewy then I expected, but I would order it again. The service was very slow. Took forever to take my order and get a drink. If I wasn't in the mood for Chinese I would have left don't the wait read more

I seriously enjoyed this meal. I got so sick of pizza and pasta and had a feeling for Chinese so we gave it a try. The food was delicious and not too expensive. We ordered mushroom soup, lo mein, sweet and sour pork ribs, and crispy duck, along with Jasmine tea which was very good. Everything was great. The lo mein was a little bit greasy but I'm from NY and our Chinese food is always greasy so it didn't bother me at all. Definitely recommended! read more

Amazingly good Chinese food from someone who knows!! So glad to have found it. Only wish I had found it earlier in our vacation. Cooking style ranges from Shanghainese, Cantonese to Szechuan. Best smoked cod I have ever had, hands down. Fabulous steamed halibut in hot oil. Great black pepper sauce on the beef. And our kids ate 3 orders of BBQ pork buns . Currently trying to shuffle our calendar to squeeze another meal in during the 2 days we have left here. read more

I would like to preface my review with the fact that I'm American so I am used to Americanized Chinese food. I ordered the spring rolls which were pretty flavorless, the potstickers which were burnt and did not have soy sauce to dip in (they brought other sauce that I did not care for), and fried rice which was also flavorless. Overall not a satisfying meal. read more
