So we were craving Chinese food and being new to Wausau we decided to try The Mandarin. The reviews…read morelooked great so why not, right? It may have been a mistake. I hate posting a negative reviews of a small local business, but we were disappointed. No we aren't looking for discounts free food etc or anything. In fact I hope it was just a bad day for them. We ordered: General Tsos chicken Orange chicken Pot stickers and spring rolls. 45$ is pricey for 2 mains and 2 apps but my husband figured they might be good. Sometimes the food is worth the $. The General Tsos chicken had no flavour really beyond over cooked soy. No spice either. The orange chicken tasted borderline exactly like the General Tsos chicken. Lots of soy. The barest hint of orange and no spice. My spring rolls had an overpowering cooking oil flavour and the pot stickers had no water chestnuts, no ginger, no scallions or garlic. Just ground meat. I am giving the restaurant a maybe on reccomendations because perhaps the chef was off...maybe it was just a bad day. I hope they continue serving their loyal clients but sadly we will take a pass on ordering from here again. It's just too expensive to test drive a 2nd time for us.

The best Chinese restaurant in a 100 mile radius. It is a small place you would never believe it.read more

The broth was delicious even before adding anything. They are generous with the meat and noodles. And, the price was more than fair. We also had the papaya which was delicious!!! I wish I could go back but I live out of state. The service was friendly and prompt. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. We sat at a booth that allowed us to look out at a beautiful tree across the street. It was a truly authentic and delicious Hmong meal. I'll definitely go back every time I'm in Wausau.

This is my go-to Hmong owned restaurant in Wausau. Some locals I know rate a restaurant based on…read morehow their pho tastes like and that's all they can say. You can eat way more different items than just pho here. They have everything from laab to Hmong sausage with sticky rice and of course, egg rolls. Ok, food is pretty average however their menu is extensive. The food tastes so, SO much better than the Hmong delis in the same area. Their pepper dip is delicious. Great location; right on South 3rd Avenue where I grew up as a kid. Private parking. The establishment was an old supper club back in my day. Nostalgic. The ambience need some work. Everything is dated and dark. Like a grandparents basement. I was bothered with the group sitting next us. One guy spoke as if his buddies were standing a half block away. Our server was quick on his feet and helpful with the menu. He answered questions promptly and gave us a heads up if an item would be delayed in preparing. So helpful. We didn't have to wait long to get our food. Shorter time than at the local Hmong deli, I can promise you that and the restaurant was half full. Would, and have, returned.

I am so unbelievably glad we decided to stop here. Without a doubt, this is the best ramen I have ever had, and the best takoyaki I've ever had. I've traveled all over, including Japan and Taiwan, and I genuinely mean it when I say this was the best ramen and takoyaki I've ever eaten. The food was absolutely incredible, but what really made the experience special was the staff. Lam and Summer were unbelievably kind. They listened to me ramble about how amazing the food was, helped me decide what to order, and checked on us throughout the meal without ever being overbearing. They made us feel genuinely welcome. This restaurant does everything I love about great Asian cuisine. The quality, the flavor, the presentation, and the service all came together to create one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. I would recommend this place to absolutely anyone. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and give it a try. I would genuinely hate for someone to miss out on an experience this good.
