I really enjoy my go-to lunch of vegetable soup with tofu (I'm a pescatarian), and the traditional Chinese side salad. I can't help but picture a train station setting and I think whoever owns this place has so much more of an advantage over every restaurant in Cedar City. Their food is great, but the spot is priceless! My best advice is to look at your neighboring DecorWorx company and "go to town" on a full renovation, complete with an inside/ outside train for kiddos to ride on, while parents enjoy a nice meal. read more

The moment you walk in you're greeted by staff which makes the first instance welcoming. The vibe is what you'd consider taking you and your friends out to. So go with a date, friend, link, etc.. The service was quick! Got my food quicker than usual and that was pretty impressive! Spicy edamame: It was good, but it was not at all spicy. However, the sauce they used for it? I'd recommend using it on a bed of rice. It alone is the bomb dot com! Imma need that recipe LoL Hot & Sour soup: It was so good. Just the right balance! The serving size is just enough for you to enjoy. But do have this with the meal and take spoonfuls here and there! It can be come overwhelming if you just eat the soup alone Pork in garlic sauce: It honestly wasn't that at all great in my opinion. I expected something more on the saltier side but it was overwhelmingly sweet! So if you're a diabetic STAY AWAY from this. Eel Nigri: Hands down the best! It was tender, flavorful, soft, and decadent Tuna Nigri: I absolutely did not like this. It did not taste fresh....it had a very metallic taste as if it was freezer burnt! So huge no. I am in no business to say what food is fresh and frozen simply because I can't see the import, but it was most definitely not fresh. Overall, the service is impeccable, the staff are always on it and I appreciate the service. I would probably order something else next time. Total came out to $42.64 was it worth it? If they took off the tuna nigiri then yes. But it's aight. read more

Went to the Mandarin with friends Friday evening and we ordered a couple Orange Chickens, a Mongolian Beef and I wanted to try the Lemon Chicken Szechuan Style. After a few tastes of my dish I asked the waiter if the dish I had really was the Lemon Chicken I had ordered and had been anxious to try. It had no lemon flavor and the sauce looked & tasted a lot like Orange Chicken so I was puzzled enough to ask. Also when I compared the menu's description to the vegetables on my plate the red & green peppers were there but missing was the baby corn, celery and any evidence of lemon peels as there should have been. In their place were water chestnuts and I think bamboo shoots or carrots. If the kitchen was out of celery or baby corn or lemons- they should be upfront about it. I have been informed during a previous visit of some ingredient being out of stock while ordering so I know they have communicated that situation before. Vegetables aside, there's no way that sauce had any lemon in it. It was tasty but not what I ordered. read more

Stopped in again and had the Mongolian Beef, this time I asked for no sugar - they said it was probably a fluke, that sugar is not normally added and it was gloriously absent this time Again, great prices, fast service and tasty food next time I'll order from the extensive sushi menu. read more

If Chinese Fusion Is Your Cup Of Tea...Then Mandarin Is For You. The Shrimp In Lobster Sauce Was Regular Sized Shrimp In Clear Egg Drop Soup. The Chicken Lo Mein Was Just Okay And Fried Rice Wasn't What I Expected. If You Come For Won Ton Mein In Soup...You Won't Be In Luck. They Only Offer 2 Small Won Tons In a Soup Cup, No Noodles (Mein). Note: The Shrimp Chow Mein Is Something To Think About Too. The Chow Mein Is "Bean Sprouts" and NOT Noodles. (Good Luck With That!) Service Was Great. I Can't Lie About That. After We Ordered, We Found Out There Was A Dinner Menu, Which Wasn't Provided. After We Had Already Ordered, We Asked The Waitress If There Was A Dinner Menu, Then and Only Then, It Was Provided. Ambiance Was Great And We Came In Just Before 2pm, Without Any Crowds. So...If You Enjoy Asian Fusion Dishes...This Place Is For You. For Me? I'll Stick To Real CANTONESE Style Chinese Food. read more

Mandarin - Leftover Food At Mandarin - No Take Home, Either. - Thai Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

Mandarin is in such a cool location and if the food quality and food temperature could improve, it would be so much better. The prices are fair, and the food quality is fair. Also they could invest in new glasses and dinnerware. Staff is friendly! read more

Ordered take out after a long day skiing. Food was ready quickly and was very good. Young lady inside was very nice in taking order and delivering food when we got there. We ordered orange chicken, Mongolian beef, pork fried rice and win ton soup. Everything was delicious and was perfect amount for 4 of us. Kids loved the wonton soup. Orange chicken was very good as well as fried rice. Flavorful and fresh. Mongolian beef was very good, but not what I normally see for Mongolian style. But still very good with a touch of heat. Definitely recommend this place. Inside looked nice and had a good number of people eating in. read more

The best Chinese food in town! The service is always great & Coco makes you feel like one of the family.

To start it's in an old depot but they did a great job with mixing the Chinese restaurant atmosphere in the beautifully preserved depot. Next up are the pleasant and attentive yet not obtrusive servers. But the be all and end all is the food. Authentic, fresh, flavorful and plentiful servings reasonable prices especially the lunch specials of which there is a wide variety. I had Sa char beef and my wife had sweet and sour chicken. Egg drop and hot sour soups also were perfect. read more

Staff seemed quite busy without many people there..took a while to be seated. Very nice waitress, but again had to wait for water glasses to be filled. Food came quickly, was delicious overall..wished they had a kids menu because we ended up spending $140 for our family of 6. Not ideal. Two of my kids said they thought they found bones in their chicken, but I could not confirm or deny. I would not be back..maybe for the lunch specials, but not during regular hours. read more

Mandarin Restaurant is a gem for Cedar City, Utah. I just could not believe that Yelp has lead me to this beautiful and authentic Chinese cuisine for a late tofu snack and a cold Sapporo. The service is amazing as food and drink to the table was fast. Our server was super helpful, friendly, and polite. I enjoyed looking at all the Chinese art and dining at this Chinese restaurant. I wish I were hungry so I could order a feast! Highly recommended! You won't regret! I definitely will return! read more

We overlooked this restaurant for a few years - I don't know why because it is excellent! The service was great. The atmosphere was very calm and comfortable. The people who served us were very professional. I can't say anything negative about Mandarin restaurant. Highly recommended. We WILL be going back! read more

This was the worst Chinese food we've ever had. I ordered twice cooked pork. There was nothing "twice cooked" about it. Instead, there were thin strips of fatty pieces of pork with vegetables in a sweet, oily sauce. After two bites, I couldn't eat any more of it. My husband had Moo Shu Pork, which had the same fatty, thin strips of pork with overcooked vegetables. We shared that dish for a little while, and then decided we'd eat pretzels in our hotel room for the rest of our dinner. Don't waste your money on this. read more

We drove from St. George just to try this out. Stopped for a late lunch. Got the Wonton "soup for 2". Broth was just hot water. No flavor and included 2 wontons (one for each) $10.95. Poo poo platter was just ok. (the free fried crisps were the best.) Singapore noodles: just blah...no taste. Cooked with tiny cocktail shrimp. Never seen that before. $15.95. Egg fu young was covered in an unappetizing batter. Not tasty at all. A dull brown gravy over top. $15.95. Triple delight fried meat...same bad batter. $17.95. 2 sodas, no carbonation. Incredibly disappointing. $100. With tip. 1 star for sweet server. Never again. Where's the pride? read more

For a small town, Mandarin Restaurant's food is quite good. I was passing through town on my way to Cedar Breaks National Monument at the end of October 2020, and had to stop here for lunch. I'm one of those like the infamous foodie David Chan, who eats at a Chinese restaurant everywhere he travels on business (he has dined at over 7,000 Chinese restaurants worldwide). I chose Mandarin based mainly on the pictures (I like to dine at restaurants offering more authentic style of Chinese food, as opposed to those that are more Americanized Chinese). The restaurant's interior is lovely and very roomy. Though Yelp mentions they offer outdoor, I was told those tables are not serviced, but customers can order their food to-go and eat at those tables. With Covid-19, I avoid indoor dining wherever I can, but it was just too nippy on this day (Tuesday, October 27th). I ordered both the regular Egg Roll and the Shanghai Egg Roll. Egg Roll was the Americanized version that's crispy and filled with mainly vegetables. The Shanghai Egg Roll was more authentic with a good mixture of shrimp and a smattering of vegetables inside. Loved the Shanghai Egg Roll more. For the entree, I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken & Shrimp (Mandarin style, not Szechuan/Sichuan which is spicy) lunch special which is served with steamed rice and a cup of hot and sour soup (or egg drop soup if you prefer). I had the soup, which had a nice spicy bite from the red chile flakes cooked into it. Being uncomfortable eating indoors, I took the Kung Pao Chicken & Shrimp and rice to go. I had that for dinner. Even being reheated in the microwave, it was still quite tasty. When you sit down, they'll bring you a bowl of wonton skin/wrapper crispies and a bowl of sweet and sour sauce. When I ordered the Egg Roll and the Shanghai Egg Roll, I was given 2 more small bowls of the sweet and sour sauce. The servers should inquire if the customer needed more sauce, as having those 3 small bowls on my table, it seemed like a waste of the sauce. read more

A beautiful environment for a great meal. Sa Char Beef was perfect blend of flavors and with just the right amount of heat. Sweet and Sour chicken served with sauce on the side (thank you!). Fresh veggies! Hot and sour soup was perfect too. Hadn't had this great Chinese food in quite a while. Definitely worth the short drive off the highway! read more

They serve wonton chips and dipping sauce when you arrive. We tried many dishes the mongolian beef, chicken and snow peas, teriyaki chicken, noodle soup, broccoli and we thought they were ok. They all tasted very similar as they were heavily coated in a sweet sauce. The dishes were all too sweet. I love teriyaki type sauce but these sauces were too thick and sweet for my preference and the food was drenched in it. If you love sweet sauces you will like it, it was just too overwhelming for me. There were a few things that were advertised that weren't available and we had to remind the waiter several times for items we requested like hot sauce, a drink, soy sauce, napkins. By the time we got hot sauce we were through half our meal which makes it less enjoyable. Although we had to ask a few times the staff was nice and seemed to be trying their vest. They were friendly. I would go again and try dishes that aren't as sweet and full of sauce. read more

We ordered to-go and ate our food on the patio, since we had our dog. The first thing I noticed, was how sweet the staff was. Our waitress (and I believe the manager) were extremely polite and professional. Their service alone is worth going back for. As for the food, I thought it was very good. My family and I ordered potstickers, ham fried rice, orange chicken and walnut shrimp. Everthing (especially the potstickers) had a really good flavor to it, and there wasn't a bite left after we finished. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely be back! (Oh, and the restaurant is beautiful, so there's that:) read more

Mandarin - Potstickers:) - Thai Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

We stopped in around 5 tonight and had the place to ourselves. This place is really nice, beautiful ambiance. They served us wonton chips with a sweet and sour sauce that was pretty good. The service was okay- nothing amazing. Our food was also just ok. They have a really large menu with lots to choose from but maybe a smaller menu with better quality would be better? We ordered cashew chicken, beef and broccoli and pad thai. The beef and broccoli was the best of the three although i found the sauce to be pretty similar to the cashew chicken. I know ordering Thai food at a Chinese restaurant is a rookie mistake- that was my kids fault. The sauce was very sweet and it just didn't taste like pad thai. Dont recommend ordering if you're a big pad thai fan. read more

Great atmosphere when you walk in . Su hi bar to the right and a great open space w tables to the right. Pleasant music brings in a great calm feel. Server was very nice and helpful with lunch choices. Started off with fried dumplings which were great hot and fresh. Dipping sauce was outstanding! I had asked for chili paste or oil but by the time she brought it the dumplings were devoured! We also had the cedar roll and it too was super fresh! Had a bite before photo! I also had the char beef and it was incredible! We also loved the orange chicken fried rice and wonton soup! read more

Mandarin - Broccoli and shrimp - Thai Near Me - Cedar City, Utah

We had a reservation. We got there maybe 5-10 minutes early. We sat down, took 25 minutes for someone to come and take our order. Happy I brought my own water because we were clearly invisible. Ordered a sushi roll. The Cedar Roll looked yummy...dry as the Vegas desert. One of the plates came out dirty. We were never provided water throughout the entire meal. Ordered the Mongolian beef (one of our favorites) and the dish tasted...off. As in spoiled. The steamed potstickers were good...if you can get past the coldness in the middle. The crab rangoons were pretty yummy as was the egg roll. The sweet and sour chicken was OKAY. They had no limes for our Coronas and they didn't have Sapporo's. This place is nothing to write home to. I couldn't even finish the dinner. I was so upset I left and had my bf take care of the "leftovers" (my dogs will love this when I get home). Save your money and go somewhere better. Like Chef Alfredo's. If you have a craving for Chinese, go to Panda. read more
