    Orange Chicken
    Jill G.

    This is the tail of 2 dishes and our experience was a mixed bag. On one hand, the orange chicken was amazing! Maybe the best I've ever had while their Dan dan noodle was the worst I've experienced. Weird flavor. We ended up just sharing the orange chicken. Which was fine by us because the portions were huge!! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The interior is well decorated and upscale feeling but the music selection was jazz, great for a steak and martini but did nothing for the rest of the wonderful atmosphere. The staff did comp the dan dan. We will be back but a few changes could make this place stellar.

    Classy, excellent service, and great food sum up Mandarin Taste pretty well. I am surprised by how beautiful the restaurant looks. I love everything about it from the parking to the outside patio and to the inside. Every table has a centerpiece of fresh flowers. To me, the restaurant is immaculate. The service was truly exceptional on this visit. The server was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The menu at Mandarin Taste is extensive including traditional Chinese entrees, a little bit of dim sum, and hot pot. I would say the dim sum is lacking and doesn't have a lot of items. The hot pot is expensive. The pork dumplings in spicy sauce were delicious and so was the black pepper beef on hot plate. The beef was a little sweet but it had a good taste. The tomato egg drop soup was okay. The portion size of the entrees was large. A little pricy but not much compared to other Chinese restaurants. I am not sure why the review of Mandarin Taste is so low but I would definitely recommend. This is one of the few restaurants I would not read the reviews before trying. It is a lot better than what's being said.

    The food was great and authentic! The only thing needed was better portion sizes I feel like something the portion size were a little small for the price. I do not recommend the matcha ice cream it was really gritty and had fatty cream chunks. The service was great our server was really attentive and didn't bother us but still took care of us well. The restaurant itself is very nice and decorated well, really a step up from the old location.

    Kimchi Beef Fried Rice

    Food was very good! I ordered the Kimchi Beef Fried Rice. The rice was very fresh and flavorful, beef was seasoned well. The serving size was pretty large, it was enough for two meals. The restraunt has a beautiful design and they have a patio if you want to eat outside, thanks!

    Kung Pao Chicken, empty bowl
    Kelly G.

    We've been meaning to try this place and finally dropped in. And we were pleasantly surprised. It was really good flavors. I mean, Lo Mein noodles can be kinda boring, but this was really tasty. The veggies were crisp and not over cooked. The Kung Pao was pretty good too. I ate it all as you can tell. Sorry, I was so hungry I forgot to snap a pic. Here's the big question. Would I come back????? Yes I would. I would like to try the Hot Pot next time. I think they may not offer it every time because it wasn't on our menu. But everything considered, I gave it 4 stars.

    Chicken Fried Rice
    Grace H.

    Mandarin Taste offers a delightful experience with its standout dish, the black pepper beef on a hot plate--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The crispy duck is a unique option, though I might not order it frequently due to other appealing protein choices. The lower prices of other protein options that I like better make me feel like "cool, I tried the duck, it was decent, I don't need to do it again". The chicken fried rice was tasty and they don't skimp on the chicken . The veggie lo mein is lovely, especially with its sizable broccoli chunks. Efficient staff ensures hot food, although friendliness is basic. The clean and inviting ambiance adds to the overall appeal. While some claim it's the best in town, I'm still deciding, but it's certainly among the top contenders.

    I've been here once before at their old location so I wanted to check out this new location. Love the new building and decor. Very nice! We ordered the pepper steak, pineapple sweet and sour chicken, taiyaki. I loved the pineapple sweet and sour chicken! The only thing I would change would be to not cut the pineapple so close to the core because most of the pineapple chunks were really hard. The pepper steak was way too tender for my liking. But the flavors of the sauce was really good. Our server seemed like it was his first night? Food came out fast.

    8 Juicy Pork Dumplings
    Denise R.

    The restaurant is really pretty. It's bright and open which I love. Beautiful inside and a nice outside dining space too. The staff is friendly and helped me with entree selection which I appreciated. The dumplings were so yummy and had just the right amount of heat. Spicy black bean cilantro chicken has a ton of flavor! So glad I went with mild to spicy for this dish. Large portions meant leftovers for a second meal...winning! My friend got the orange chicken and it was delicious too. My son enjoyed her leftovers. He's a teenager and not always easy to please. I cannot wait to go back and check out other items.

    Outstanding Asian cuisine, like I've eaten while traveling overseas. This is not your typical Chinese-American buffet style food.

    Seriously, some of the best Chinese food I've had in Tulsa. At one point, I came here three times…read morein ONE WEEK! A little overindulgent? Maybe. But what do you expect when the food is Two of my favorites are the cumin beef and the fried ribs, both are packed with flavor and come with your choice of fried or white rice. I've also the braised pork which was ok, the pork was a bit tough. Ive had the spicy dumplings, which are really good. My only knock is that the one time I ordered them to go, most had broken apart by the time I got home. Still delicious, just a little disappointing presentation-wise. The green beans are an absolute must-try, and PLEASE do not sleep on the cucumber salad! It's fresh, flavorful, and easily my favorite appetizer on the menu. If you're looking for great Chinese food in Tulsa, this place absolutely deserves a spot on your list. And yes...I'll definitely be back. Just maybe not three times in the same week.

The food was delicious, hot and large portions. I got the sweet and sour chicken and my son got the General Tso's chicken, both served with rice. We shared the eggrolls as an appetizer; they were so crispy and fresh. We were waited on by Amy and she was quite attentive, plus kept our drinks filled. The vibe gave a Chinese vibe with decorative masks and fish on the wall. We will definitely be back.

    I'm not sure who would give this place 4 stars. They must've never had good Chinese food. The…read moreservice was the only highlight of the meal. We ordered Kung Pao chicken, beef fried rice, house lo mein noodles, and the pork belly entree along with fried pot stickers as an appetizer. First off, the potstickers were edible, but nothing to write home about. The dumpling sauce they provided was watered down soy sauce and not good. The King Pao chicken had zero pow! It was not good at all. The beef fried rice almost had a fish overtone taste and had another odd smell. The lo mein noodles were very greasy and lacked any seasoning at all. The worst of the meal was the Crunchy Pork Belly entree. This is an absolute lie. The dish looks nothing like the menu picture which had chunks of fried pork belly. This dish was loaded with soggy thin sliced bacon and half undercooked vegetables. It was atrocious and false advertising. We will NEVER patronize this joke of a Chinese cuisine restaurant again. Those who gave it 4 stars should be ashamed of yourself.

    I'm honestly not sure how this place has such high ratings. I ordered the orange chicken, and it…read moretasted nothing like orange chicken. It seemed like it had been cooked earlier and simply reheated. I also tried the hot and sour soup, which was one of the worst I've had. It tasted like it was made with a beef broth base instead of the tangy, spicy flavor you would expect. The crab rangoons were okay, but they were the only thing I didn't completely dislike. The food was edible, but that's about the best I can say. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.
