After having lived in the neighborhood for about 6 months, and visited this restaurant for carry out many times (at least 6-7, probably more like 9-10), I can say that I like it. I have found my preferred meal choices, and they are good. They offer good "Americanized" Chinese food, and from what I can tell, this restaurant is family-owned and family-run, which I like and like to support. They are quick to prepare your food, and it is always piping hot, even after a 4 block walk home in the cold. The paper menu has some valuable coupons that are actually quite good (free soup, entree, pad Thai, depending on your order cost), and they are glad to accept them. My wife was disappointed with one Thai curry dish, but it was exactly as stated on the menu, and I had forewarned her that it wasn't her normal Thai dish of choice, so she cannot judge based on that. The free Shrimp Pad Thai was very good though. read more

Pretty good! Everything was fresh tasting and good quality. General Tsos was good but they don't make it spicy enough for my taste. Everything else was better than the other Chinese places I've tried around here. read more

I'm always searching for a new Chinese restaurant - one that has food that is fresh and seasoned well. I ordered the General Tso and Orange Chicken. The broccoli was good and not overcooked and I was glad they had brown rice as an option. However, the chicken......where was the chicken? The breading was all I could taste. The chicken was cut so then that the breading was all I could taste. Still searching for my "go-to" Chinese restaurant. read more

I have ordered from here a lot and never let me down. There food is priced great for the portion you get. I would give it 5 stars but they recently increased their delivery fee from $1.50 to $3. That may out a damper on me ordering from them in the near future, but if the fee do it no there you go for it read more

I recently moved to Towson and have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant ever since. After a couple of bad experiences I got to try Mandarin Taste. I had the fried dumplings, broccoli with garlic sauce, and sesame chicken. Everything was excellent and very fresh; the dumplings especially were the style I prefer and don't have the "mystery meat" taste that has plagued some of the other places I tried. I spent a dollar extra to get the white meat chicken and it was worth it, though I do wish I hadn't had to spend extra. The delivery minimum was $20, which seems a bit steep, but the food was worth it. It took about an hour to an hour and a half for the food to arrive, but considering that they are in Baltimore and they are in Towson it makes sense. I will definitely be ordering from Mandarin again when I have a craving for Chinese food! read more

Hit and miss. I really like their spring rolls. You can tell they are homeade.

I agree. I used to get it and it was thick and light brown. It is now light dark brown shit water. New chef/owners? They also had a price increase or three. read more

Not sure how this place has 4 out of 5 stars. Second time ordering and both times were pretty bad. Tasteless and bland food both times...won't be ordering from again. read more

I placed an order for delivery on eat 24 and had it confirmed for delivery in 45 minutes. It showed up 1 hour and 40 minutes later. I guess they get busy on Friday evenings. The food was bland as if they ran out of sauces or spices and it was not fresh. Maybe it was sitting in the delivery car too long. To make a long story short...delivery took forever and the food was terrible. I will not order from here again. read more

Have ordered monthly for the last six months, the same order of Thai Green Curry (I wanted this to be my neighborhood go-to so badly). Consistency equal to zero. Bland and runny. Taking my taste for Thai elsewhere. read more

I'm pretty finicky when it comes to Chinese food. I'd been at my new home for four years before I ventured out to try a new Chinese delivery. A few of my neighbors recommended this place. With so many recommendations, I thought it had to be good. And it has been for me. Very good and wonderfully fast delivery service. My family orders pretty much the same dishes and they have been good every time. Fried rices, egg foo youngs, moo shu pork, beef and broccoli and the won ton soup. They give us plenty of shrimp, meat, etc. The broccoli is crisp, not mushy. Egg foo young patties aren't soggy. No complaints at all. Also, when I order the moo shu pork, I like three extra hoisin sauces. EVERY time I order this, they are sure to include the extra sauces and I don't have to ask. You can't beat that service. There was also this time when I called a half hour after their closing time. I simply hadn't noted the time before I called. They ring my door and I note that the person delivering my food sounds like the person who took my order on the phone. I jokingly ask if the delivery person has the night off, she responds no, he'd already left for the night. She said that she wanted to deliver my food because I'm a good customer. Geez. I gave her a tip that was greater than the cost of my food. Recently I've noted that there is a new voice answering the phone. She confirmed that the business was bought by someone else. I've since ordered a few times and the quality of the Chinese food dishes seems just as good if not better for the dishes we order. OH, I must say this. The new owner has added Thai food to the menu. We tried the Pad See Ew and the Pad Thai. Both were flavorless. We won't be ordering the Thai from here again. Other than the Thai, we really really like this place. read more

By far my absolute favorite place to get take-out. I can't recommend this place enough. My order always tastes fresh, flavorful, and very good quality. It comes quick and with a friendly smile from the driver. If you're looking to change up from your regular place that's just not cutting it, try ordering from here because you will not be disappointed. I refuse to get Chinese food from another place, I've found my new go-to! read more

The inside of the restaurant is very small, which is the only reason why this is not a five star rating. Solely based on the food, this place deserves a five star rating. The food is great, always fresh, the service is quick, the people are friendly, and offer good prices and many options. read more

Not the best Chinese I've ever had, but it's good enough that I would order here again. The portions are very big...big enough for at least two meals. They also offer a white meat option for the chicken entrees. read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant I've found in the Towson/Anneslie area. What makes it stand out is the food tastes and looks fresh and has terrific flavor. We like to get beef with broccoli and chicken with mixed vegetables--the veggies look fresh cut, is cooked to be crisp, not soggy. The chicken and beef are always tender and taste good. It never tastes like the food has been sitting in a pan all day. Not greasy or too salty. Really, the chef knows how to cook! Portion sizes and prices are good. They offer brown rice for an extra $1. Service is friendly and fast. I strongly recommend! read more

The food from here was okay and the restaurant is convenient, but I won't ever eat from here again after our last order. I ordered white meat chicken moo goo gai pan, not a normal order for me but I thought it would be good enough. It was do bad, I couldn't eat it. Especially the chicken. It was so disgusting, I wondered if it was chicken at all. It looked weird, tasted strange. Definitely did not taste like any chicken I ever had. We'll find another place the next time we crave Chinese food. read more

Ordered my food online and had it delivered to me. After pay with credit card the driver looked at the tip part of the bill when he seen that I didn't leave a tip on my credit card he begin to fuss because I didn't leave him a tip from my card instead was going to him him cash tip. Very rude and unprofessional. I ordered pupu platter for 2 and when I opened up my box it sure did look like poo poo. My egg rolls was burnt, couldnt determine what kind of meat that was on the two sticks. The chickens wings had a funny smell to them the shrimp had to much breading on it the ribs was very tough and the other thing that was ok was one of the egg rolls and i only ate the inside cause the crust was burnt. My 30.00 of food that I ordered was a waste. First time ordering here will be the last time ordering read more

I am giving them 3 stars for the fast delivery and good customer service over the phone. I ordered the house special pan fried noodles which has a good taste and I also ordered spring rolls. Again, the food has a good taste. I was slightly disappointed when I opened my food; I saw the meat and veggies and assumed that the box was the fried noodles. To my surprise, it was a box of white rice. I only had a little bit of fried noodles underneath the meat and veggies. It was a good amount of chicken, pork and veggies...I literally had only 2 shrimp. The noodles were very scarce and because I was expecting a good amount of fried noodles and no rice I was disappointed. I did eat it because I was hungry and it had a good taste, but next time I won't order the pan fried noodles. Wish I could've given them more than 3 stars which I feel at this point is more than generous. Maybe next time I will just stick to my normal generals or orange chicken read more

ordered pork lo mien and chicken fried rice. Pork lo mien was alright, not great, but there was little pork and not much garnish and veggies. the fried rice was embarrassing, bland, undercooked, not vegetables at all. i recooked it my self and threw some of my own spices on there and it was half decent. but goes to say i wont be coming back. hope this saves someone from a wasted meal... read more

The food is good. However, the chow mein was very unusual. It was chicken, bean sprout, celery, and cabbage all cooked together in a clear sauce. It came with a package label chow mein noodles(very crispy crackers). This was very unusual. Most chow mein I've had consisted of noodles,protein, and vegetables. The noodles were cooked to the style of yakasoba noodles. If this is the type of chow mein you are used to I'd recommend it. If you are used to chow mein with noodles I would recommend that you went with a different dish. read more

Up the road from my house and they deliver. Solid "American" Chinese food. Not going to wow you but also not going to disappoint. Open till 11 on weekdays I think so always my choice when I work late. read more

Ditto on all the other great reviews. What I want to add is the personal touch and care the owners and chefs put into the food. I'm an eggplant freak, I love eggplant with garlic! I called one day with my eggplant jones in full effect, and the woman on the phone said the order would take a few minutes longer because she had to run over to Giant and get more eggplants! I'm a foodie. I like to slum it and get street food and piles of wings, but I've also been to some of the nicest restaurants in Paris. I have to say this was one of this nicest things someone at a restaurant has ever done. I love these guys! I would choose them over a swanky, more "traditional" and "hi-class" place any day. Pease patronize this restaurant! read more

I ordered the Singapore rice noodles with egg rolls. the noodles were very good with a strong curry kick. the egg rolls were crispy ,I also ordered the shrimp lomein for my son. He ate it all ,however ,the portion was large-served in a full quart container. this place will be my local chinese carryout. read more

I just ordered carry out. I don't know if it's new ownership. They have expanded their menu, too. I ordered 4 items and everything was delicious! read more

Not sure where to start. Since I moved to Towson 2 years ago I was looking for an Asian carryout. It took me a couple months after trying several. Then I found Mandarin Taste. I ordered several times and it was very consistent. Well, I got oral cancer and what a mess that was. After 4 weeks of soft boiled eggs and Ensure I tried Mandarin Taste for delivery. I did because there were many soft items to choose. It really worked. After a year my PET scan is clean. Their process is repeatable and fats are kept to a minimum. I don't review ever but in this case I am. read more

I order from this place all of the time. The food is good but the customer service sucks. I called after delivery of my food today to inform them that the extra shrimp that I paid for was not included. The "manager" called me a liar and yelled at me. I will never order from this place again!! read more

Ordered the cheese wontons, sweet and sour chicken and boneless bbq ribs. Deilvery came on time and was great. The food was so good that I saved some for the next day. Really surprised with the quality of the food and this was my first time ordering from there. Will definitely order from here again! read more

We were visiting friends nearby and promised to arrive with Chinese food and picked this place out based on Yelp review. We don't understand how it got 4 stars..Schezuan tofu was totally bland and tasteless: neither hot or spicy. Szechuan stringbeans came in a brown blah gravy. Other dishes similarly tasteless. Soup passable - sort of low-end mall edible. I would have given this one star except the owner searched me out after I first posted this review and apologized, said they were crazy rushed on Xmas (the day we ordered), usually do much better, wanted me to come back and see what they can do, etc.. She found me based on the dishes I described, and called me on the cell phone number I had left. So they get a second star for being concerned, taking responsibility and trying. I'm not persuaded, but I guess, given the call, I am with Steven S, who posted a review earlier this month - I'd eat here again IF I was really hungry and nearby and wanted Chinese food. I might specify I wanted spicy and crisp too. read more

This place has gone completely off the rails. It used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in the area. Our dinner tonight was terrible. The wonton soup had zero flavor. The egg rolls (which we didn't order) were chewy and tasted like they just came out of a Sam's Club bulk food bag. The edamame was absolutely inedible - again, they tasted like they came out of a Sam's Club bag. And, at $4.55 per order? Forget about it. The menu says that the Chef's Suggestions come with white or brown rice, but ours (Orange Chicken and General Tsao's Chicken) came with fried rice that was nasty. And, the worst part? Apparently this place has decided that it no longer needs a business phone and has relegated all ordering to online apps, which really sucks. Good luck fixing problems with your order. This all makes me sad. I have been a loyal customer for years, but tonight was my last order. I wonder if the place is under new management. read more
