    Wonton Egg Drop
    Joan L.

    3 1/2 stars. Mandarin Chef is a little neighborhood place in Foxboro. My kids were playing in a sports tournament nearby. We had not eaten lunch and this was the place the starving boys chose. It served our purpose.....very quick, mostly hot food. For appetizers we ordered some Steamed Peking Duck Ravioli. These were doughy and cold on the inside. I would not recommend them. We also ordered some Beef Teriyaki. These were lean and very flavorful. We all ordered Dinner Combinations since we were staying in a hotel and did not want a lot of leftovers. Every combo came with a choice of Crab Rangoon, Chicken Wing, or Vegetarian Spring Roll. I am not a fan of Crab Rangoon at all so I did not try it but my men loved the Crab Rangoon. The Chicken Wings looked like they were freshly made and were tasty. There was a dollar extra charge for the Wonton Egg Drop Soup which was decent. The main dishes ordered included Spicy Garlic Beef, Shrimp & Veggies, Chicken & Beef Teriyaki, and Beef Teriyaki & Boneless Spareribs. Everyone was pleased with what they ordered. There was only one person taking care of the front of the house of this small place. I thought he could have been a bit friendlier considering there was only 1 other patron in the establishment.

    I give this one 5 stars because they have very good Chinese food and they have reasonable prices. Lunch and Dinner Combo specials are great deals and two of them will feed a family of 4. Owners Steve and his wife are super nice and the service is excellent. Restaurant is small and tastefully decorated. I haven't found anything that wasn't yummy, but I'll keep trying.

    sweet and... syrupy chicken. rather tasteless hot and sour soup.

    if it wasn't for the fellow yelpers posting claims like "best Chinese food in town" and even pictures of their menu, i probably wouldn't be as pumped to try the place out. maybe i should have stuck to the less Americanized dishes (do they exist? i know not), but my mental picture of a "sweet & sour" dish urged me to order their lunch in chicken version, along with fried rice and hot & sour soup (reminiscence from another distant memory), AND a teriyaki beef app that came with, all for under $7!!! guy picking up the phone sounded more like an ABC than what he looked like when i finally came to meet him in person. that was quite surprising, actually. he was courteous and efficient, thanking me for patronage and such. the restaurant was practically empty during a weekday lunch time, but that is to be expected in a small town non-American eatery. anyway, excited to open my lunch when i got home, as i was starving since the call was made. only to be disappointed through and through. beef teriyaki was actually the "best" part of the meal, it being an ok, average fare. soup had lots of fixings in there, but was rather tasteless itself, and lacking the vinegary property. felt like i was just dunking plain corn starch paste with a hint of spiciness. needless to say, 1.25 pints of it went down the drain, and that's only bc i have problems wasting "perfectly edible" food. it WAS edible per se, just not enjoyable. meanwhile, the so-called sweet & sour chicken was downright..."horrifying" (see pic). i know i shouldn't be comparing with the Hong Kong style dishes i had in my childhood; i should have expected THIS type of preparation. but, it was really just tasteless chicken wrapped in thick batter, fried and then slathered in this super artificial red colored syrupy goo. the kind that would congeal at the bottom of the takeout box and you could peel it out and jiggle it like Jello. and it was soooo artificially sweet that my throat felt the sugar burn and was desperately begging for water, or maybe even soda, as a cleanser. suddenly, i started to wonder where my great $7 lunch deal went. this fail partially falls on me, really. if I had known they offered pad thai, i might have just stuck with that. but now, that red syrup...really, my mouth hasn't forgiven me yet. blehhhhh!!! really wanted to like this place, and glad to see others appreciating their food. but i'm not so sure after this meal. might give them another chance on next occasion, and see if i have better luck. but for now, I have to sign up for a detox. p.s. they have a sign inside the restaurant stating "gluten-free" dishes available...but judging by their version of classics, take it how you will.

    Orange chicken delicious.

    See all

    Love the pupu platter for one! Great when you need to quell the urge for Chinese food and don't want to go overboard. Nice people also.
