    Great food fast. Ordered takeout and it was ready and waiting on me. The food is very good and is reasonably priced.

    Why have I not reviewed Royal Mandarin?? My wife and I eat here a lot. It's very quiet and always…read morevery clean. Place the order at the counter. They will gladly help you understand what ingredients are involved in various dishes. Most items are pretty standard names. I usually get the "Royal with Fried Rice" and add an egg roll. It rather mild with chicken, beef, shrimp, and artificial crab. My wife gets some sort of pineapple rice that has peanuts on it. She really likes the tofu depending on her tastebuds. Egg rolls are perfect and skewered chicken is definitely a great choice. General Tso's use to be my go to, but it fills me up too much. It's very good but I've just had to back off. We go here probably on average every 20 days. Food is always very fresh. It's just really, really. We see some of the same people eating in there on a routine basis so you know it has a following. Enjoy your Royal Mandarin main dish and don't hesitate to get fortune cookies on the way out!! Pictures to come!!

    I won't give it a one star. The food was very disgusting. We didn't even finish our meal. The…read moreegg rolls were disgusting. The owner didn't give me an opportunity to get a refill of tea because they disgarded it before I was able to get a refill. My husband's orange chicken was greasy. The owner was very rude to me and yelled at me and even got another customer to stand up to me and yell at me as well. This is an unprofessional restauran. I DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING HERE. PATRONS BE WARE. And we were out of state first time customers. Also the staff was always at the desk. My food came out before my egg roll. The restaurant had only a couple customers which should say a lot. Please read reviews before making any decisions to eat at a mediocre establishment like this place.

    Royal Mandarin Express - Greasy egg roll.  When I bit into mine, a lot of grease came out.  This is my husband's that he never ate.

    Royal Mandarin Express - I guess the flash on my camera brightened them up a bit, but they were terrible...

    I've been enjoying this food since the early 90's and your order is always fast, fresh and…read moreconsistently delicious. The fact they only accept cash can be an inconvenience at times however. The General Tzo's is the best around with lots of big, fresh broccoli heads, nice chunks of white meat chicken and a kick if you request extra spicy. I've preferred their PFR over all others in town for some reason; I mean it's just rice right? The brown sauce is spot-on as is the moo shu. Not on the menu? Tell them what you want and they will probably make it for you!

    I was working in the Terre Haute area and had a cold. One of my go to foods when I do is Chinese…read morechicken noodle soup. So I ordered from here. It was ok. This is a delivery order so I can't comment on the restaurant. They don't have a hearty chicken broth based soup with lots of chicken and vegetables. This was sort of a weaker version of Cambell's soup with what I can only imagine are frozen chicken meat pieces thrown in. About all I enjoyed was that it was something hot to drink which is nice when you're working with a cold. I did additionally order the sesame beef for something hearty later in the shift. It too was ok. I can say the broccoli was fresh and crunchy. The pieces of beef were breaded and fried so sometimes a little dry on the inside, but the sauce was good despite my diminished sense of taste. I'm still looking for my go to Chinese restaurant in Terre Haute so not sure if I'll order from here again...

    First Wok - The chicken and broccoli isn't how you would expect. It has no flavor or taste. There's a creamy white sauce on it.
