The Mandarin - Sacramento

1. June 2022. The first time here. The lunch special was fresh, delicious and very good. I'm happy to eat here again.

The food here is GREAT, It was my first time here and I must say the food is delicious. Very nice deco friendly atmosphere friendly service. I will definitely go again.

Food is sub-par. I won't order food from here again. Burt potstickers, heavily breaded shrimp appetizer, and cream cheese puffs were thick and hard on my mouth. Over priced-35 dollars wasted. Not good. Keep searching for a good Chinese restaurant to go to

I have been going to this restaurant for many years and have always been more than pleased with the service as well as the food. I am not one to leave negative reviews, however the past several time I have been here I have experienced issues. Incorrect items on to-go orders, wait times exceedingly long. About a week or so ago I took my mother here for dinner at 4:30 we waited 30 minutes for a bowl of soup another 25 minutes later for an appetizer. The restaurant was pretty much empty when we were there, started to fill up around 5:30. An hour and a half into our evening I asked the young lady if they forgot we ordered entrees. She responded with we only have 1 cook. I then asked to take the food to go as we had waited so long. Then after confirming all of the items were in the bag so we could leave, I thought I had better check. They were not all there. 3 stars for the fabulous food and kind staff. Please fix these issues as I want to stay a loyal customer.

The service. I called ahead and left work early to catch them open. It was my first time trying their Singapore Noodles. I had tons of questions as a very pleasant young woman got them all answered. I showed up and I was rather impressed at how elegant yet welcoming this place is. When I first walked in I was a bit unsure where the proper place for pick up was. I was greeted with a smile and excellent service as they were expecting me. The order was piping hot and ready. So sorry I forgot her name but she welcomed me back another time and I can't wait to try those award winning Mai Tai she spoke of. You Nailed customer service. I'll update yr name later ? The Food. Mike did an excellent job of explaining the Singapore noodle dish. My late hubby introduced me to this dish and this place did an excellent job of preparing, best in Sacramento/ Carmichael that I've had. Fresh items too. I expected bigger prawns though, not salad shrimp. I added one spice of my own. I'm a cook too. As for the Egg Foo Young... PERFECT. That is not easily done. Personally, I would smooth the lumps a bit more in the gravy and if you like the gravy part of this, I suggest Order extra. Expect to pay. Its common. PLUS IT TASTED BETTER THE NEXT DAY. Even the eggs tasted freshly cooked still. HATS OFF TO THE MANDARIN RESTAURANT ?????????????
