Great spot for some Chinese food…read more I was visiting some friends in Utah and they were really excited to take me to this restaurant. They said it was their favorite in town and that I just had to try it so I was really excited for it. When we arrived, we didn't realize, but it was prom night and so a lot of kids were dressed up in there prom outfits. Because we made a reservation, we were seated quickly. The server was really friendly and very helpful, very knowledgeable of the menu. We decided to do it, Family style and ordered a couple different things to share. We started off with an order of their Dumplings, then ordered cashew nut chicken, beef, and broccoli, and fried rice. The Dumplings were really big and fresh, so that was super good. The flavor was really nice. The cashew chicken was so good! The sauce that they used in the flavors were really good. The beef and broccoli was also yummy. The sauce with the seasonings that they chose, tasted like your traditional beef and broccoli. The fried rice was also very traditional. Definitely something you would expect. Overall, all the food had really great quality and tasted exactly how you would think so. I definitely think if you're looking for Chinese food in Utah, this is a great place to start.

Sad day: Very disappointing experience tonight. Between the 4 of us, we've probably spent a…read morecombined 100 years dining at Mandarin, which made this experience even more frustrating. We ordered 4 entrees family style to share at the table. Three dishes came out fairly quickly, but the 4th dish didn't arrive for nearly 30 minutes. Since we were all sharing the meal, we eventually ate the three dishes while waiting, and by the time the final entree arrived, the meal was basically over. When we brought the issue up to the manager, instead of focusing on customer service or finding a reasonable solution, we were met with excuses. She said, "If I take it off the bill, I have to take it off the table." That completely missed the point. We ordered the dish because we wanted it as part of our meal -- we weren't asking for it to be taken away. After making us wait 30 minutes while the rest of the table had already finished eating, the obvious customer service move would have been to acknowledge the inconvenience, comp the dish, and still let us enjoy what we ordered. Instead, Tess focused on explaining "owner policy" rather than taking care of a customer issue. After decades of loyalty to Mandarin, it was genuinely disappointing to experience such inflexible and poor customer service over something that should have been handled far better. By the way Amber our Server was great

I need to update my review since we've been back a few times and tried to Hibachi. The food is all…read moregood. The Hibachi was fun and entertaining, plus the meat was all cooked well.

So we could have came in sat down and got normal prices so we had to pay more. The rice needed a lot of flavor, and the shrimps too and there was barely any shrimp. In the egg drop soup we found these weird blob things and they tasted like goop, not egg drop soup goop, just weird goop. When you get take out, the servings are huge, which isn't bad. When my school brought china star to us, we got white rice which was very very bland, and we found a dead bug! We also got panned fried pot stickers and in my opinion I would think they could be cruncher but that's only my opinion.

Very nice place, friendly staff and fantastic food…read more We came around 11:30 and it wasn't crowded. After being seated we received a nice small salad for starters, very fresh and tasty dressing. Ordered off the LUNCH menu and started with fresh spring rolls (our personal favorite), I ordered chicken Pad Thai and my husband ordered mixed veggie stir fry with chicken (without rice) and the BEST Thai ice tea anywhere!!! The shrimp spring rolls were HUGE, very fresh and excellent. Pad Thai was fresh and tasted so delicious. Took home half because the spring rolls were huge and so filling. The mixed veggie stir fry with a side of another salad instead of rice he said was terrific. If you have not been here you are missing a great meal, all for under $30!! Where can you find an excellent meal for that price and sit down with calm music to listen to..

Back in October, I had put Red Lotus on my to go list when I was staying in SLC for a month. I…read morenever got a chance to make it in my last stay. Conveniently, we are in town for a couple days and our hotel is just right down the road. It was only right to mark this joint off my SLC food list. We came in around 5 and it was empty. My MIL and I picked a booth by the windows. I enjoy seeing the buzz of this city. It's was chaotic outside but so chill inside. It was nice to have the joint to ourselves. Jay served us tonight. He dropped off a couple menus and got some waters started for us. It was my MIL's first time trying Vietnamese cuisine. It took her a minute to breeze over the menu. As much as I wanted everything, I started off with a cup of the hot and sour soup. For dinner I got the black bean shrimp with veggies. My MIL decided on the bun thit nuong with cha gio. Last minute my MIL decided on some hot and sour soup too. They were dropped off first and it was perfect for hot soup on this cold winter day. The broth was thick and flavorful. It had hearty pieces of tofu, water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. The soup had a good heat to it. The heat didn't hit you right away, it gradually got spicier the more you ate it. My mouth was burning towards the end of my bowl. It was good but it could have been a bit more sour. My plate of black bean shrimp and veggies came out hot! The veggies looked fresh and colorful. The shrimp were plump. And the sauce smelled flavorful and salty from the fermented black bean. You can tell my dish just came out fresh from the wok. The veggies and shrimp were so hot! The shrimp were perfectly cooked. The zucchini, green peppers and bamboo shoots were my favorite. All the veggies were covered in sauce, probably the best way to eat your veggies. I ate the whole plate! I'm not the biggest fan of water chestnuts and I even polished those off. My dish was fantastic. Jay did a great job serving us tonight. He was patient and attentive. He checked up on us several times even though he was so busy with to go orders. The location of this joint was so convenient. Even though it was freezing out, it was cool to walk to dinner. But it's also got to know they have parking available for their guests. Jay did a great job taking care of us tonight. And the food was spot on. I still have quite a few places I need to hit up when I'm in SLC but if we stay in the area again, I will have to hit up Red Lotus again. It was hands down a great meal and experience.

There's a small bar area too. For drinks, we had a soda and I ordered sweet tea. Had I known the tea was bottled I would've ordered something else. It has lemon in it and it's not my fancy. For starters, we had the fresh spring rolls and egg rolls. The spring rolls are pretty straight forward with fresh mint also. The egg rolls were a little different from what we'd consider traditional but they were good. I also had the sweet n sour soup which was good. The Peking wings were crispy and piping hot on the inside. Would absolutely order again. The shrimp pad thai was sweet and delicious.
