Very good food i always come here when i am craving Chinese food been coming here since i was a kid

The shrimp and broccoli with shrimp fried rice leaves a lot to be desired. The flavor of the shrimp and broccoli was incredibly bland; the flavor was not hitting at all but the shrimp were a decent size. The shrimp fried rice was plain with a couple of onions and salad size shrimp sprinkled on top not tossed in at all. So much for my cheat meal, I really should've picked up salad from Tony's pizza instead. The lady at the counter was polite. read more

The food is great , the lady that answered the phone was hilarious. One of the only places I can get a shrimp egg roll

I love this place and the tofu and broccoli is normally on point . Owners be careful with the steel bruh that cleans the woks . I found a steel brush tooth in my tofu / broccoli plate . I bit down and almost broke a tooth . I don't want a refund or a discount, I support this establishment 100% . This is just a heads up going forward for my favorite dish . The family is really nice to me when I go in and I'm always impressed with the children that works the front desk taking orders at the counter and over the phone . Seen you soon .

Mandarin Chinese Restaurant - Steel brush particle that cleans the grill or the wok . - Chinese Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

All I'm saying is that if you spend more than $40 you should get something for free. Having to buy a can of soda after spending over $40 on mom & pop chinese food is wild. Never have I ever. I'm from north jersey so there's mom & pop places everywhere! And you usually get a free can of soda once you go over the $25 threshold. You hit $40 and it's a 2-liter soda, something special for the high rollers. But here, no way. Not even a fortune cookie. At least the food is good. Smh... read more

The food was fresh and hot and it was sooo much food for what we typically get at any other Chinese restaurant . The egg rolls were hand made and fresh you can tell these aren't premixed and in the freezer sitting the carrots and cabbage was crunchy and the pork was savory. We will definitely be back for more read more

Typical takeout spot. Just your basic greasy americanized fast "chinese".. no fan fare eats...service was ok...

Love! We've been coming here since 2002, the owners are very friendly, our food is always piping hot. Their LoMein is the best, along with the egg rolls, beef and broccoli, sweet and sour chicken, and chicken wings. read more

I've been getting food from this restaurant for over twenty years. They know me there. :-) The food is always exactly what I want. Bomb egg rolls. Fabulous mai fun. Excellent foo yung. Friendly service, though I did already mention being a regular... (I've watched them serve everyone and that standard has always been maintained.) I love their food and I am personally fond of them. I'm looking forward to my next Mandarin Chinese Restaurant meal. That will be tomorrow. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place is a hidden gem. While it might not look like much inside, the food is delicious! It's one of my favorite places in Charlotte. read more

This place is wonderful for takeout. The front part does allow you to sit and eat but it is not very inviting to do so. The food is packed well and travel the 15 minutes to my destination arriving still hot. The food was average in quantity and taste but is worth another go. read more

Quick, good prices, quality food and they're always nice. Best Chinese spot for takeout!

This is my neighborhood take out spot, and I'm glad they came! I eat here a lot. The kitchen is in plain view, they have excellent sanitation. It's a family establishment so you get to know them over the years as I have. I give them four stars for their very consistent high quality. Anyone can do hit or miss but The Mandarin really is a trusty standby. Being consistent is really important and these days very rare. It's the standard array of dishes; they don't try to execute things they wouldn't do flawlessly. The shrimp is always fresh, the veggies always properly prepped. They know how to velvet meat properly. This is a take out spot- not so much a dine in. Don't ask for the homemade mustard, they run out on me sometimes. If they would add a little more variety to the chiefly broccoli vegetable mix they would get 5 stars. read more

One of the best chicken and broccoli dishes I've eaten. Broccoli was crisp, not mushy. Chicken had plenty of flavor. Loved the sweat and sour chicken as well. read more

So, I am new to the Charlotte area and was in search of a good Chinese restaurant. My son raved about Mandarin. I have tried their chicken wings and french fries and they ROCK. I recently read a review and decided to try their sesame chicken & fried rice with onion. It was okay. The sesame chicken was a little rubbery and honestly, not that tasty. I was disappointed in the customer service or the lack-there-of ... I have only been here a couple of times so, I am willing to try them again. Wings & Fries here I come! read more

Mandarin Chinese Restaurant - Sesame Chicken & Fried Rice w/ Onion - Chinese Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

This place is good and what you'd expect from chinese takeout. Good for a lazy " I don't want to cook day. Service is a little rude, but food is good. Chicken wings, house fried rice, eggrolls and sesame chicken are pretty good. Not nice looking at all so don't go there expecting that, place is by a food lion. read more

Although food tastes good, Sanitation is ZERO. The women taking the order keeps putting her gloves hands on her mask itching her nose, immediately went to the bathroom with gloves on and came out with gloves on. She is using the same gloves to box our food and touching everything. That's nasty! read more

About as simple as they come. Typical strip mall, primarily take-out Chinese place. Lunch averages $5-$6 and is worth no more than that. Tried the Hunan Chicken and it was fairly blah. The fried rice was oily and the tea was old. The interior was below average. They didn't even have a drink or ice dispenser. You got your ice from a small blue Igloo cooler. Yup, just like the ones you take to a tailgate party! If you're in the area where Harris Blvd ends & connects with Mt. Holly-Huntersville Rd, and are jonesing for some fast Chinese, then give'em a shot. If you're more than a stones throw away, then pick another spot! I gave'em two stars merely for the convenience factor. If it weren't for that, then it'd be one star. read more

My Favorite place for Chinese Food . Always Fast and Fresh . Great Lunch and Dinner Options .

DO NOT EAT HERE! DO NOT EAT HERE! DO NOT EAT HERE! I went here to pick up food for my family. Everyone was about halfway through their meals when I noticed something crunchy in my shrimp lo mein. I shuffled the food around with my tongue and found the culprit. When I spit the piece into my hand I couldn't make out what it was. It was a shiny green. The piece was actually shining almost like those flip flop paint cars. I look at it from one angle it's green and another angle it looks purple. That's when I finally realized what it was. It was a freaking beetle head that I bit. I immediately went to throw up and what do you know I see the body in the toilet. I threw up a little more and immediately went to get my money back. No apology or anything when I went up there. I simply received a refund and the manager/ owner wanted to dispose of the evidence so that no one would know. I took a picture for all to enjoy! read more

Mandarin Chinese Restaurant - Beetle found in my Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

I've been looking for a chinese fast food in the sea of burger and fried chicken joints since moving to Charlotte. The sesame chicken was saucy but not overly greasy, the white rice was perfectly fluffy, and the veggies were fresh and not overcooked. Exactly what I want out of an affordable Chinese restaurant. read more

Typical Chinese take out, nothing special, but better than some I've been too! Always get the order right, consistently the same you know what your going to get. Good food for the most part! It's Chinese take out! This is one of the better ones I've had! read more

I ordered the hot sweet and sour soup and egg drop soup which was fairly good. The crab Rangoon was good as well, not too greasy. I had mix feelings before coming when I read the review. They were friendly and fast so I have no complain on service. read more

I never write reviews, but I wanted to even out the stars on this place! I live down the street and I frequent Mandarin. It's my favorite chinese food in the area! I usually get the chicken or beef with broccoli and the vegetable lo mein, and it's delicious every time. Highly recommended! read more

Really good, I always think every Chinese take out is the same but truly this one is the best for flavor and value!

My order was wrong and the food was overall horrible. Definitely would skip going here as there are plenty of other places nearby that are way better! read more

I lived in Charlotte for 18+ years and now am back and forth between there and the Triangle region of NC. Mandarin has been my favorite place to get Chinese food in North Carolina. Every time I am in Charlotte, I make it a priority to visit this restaurant. Their Sesame Chicken lunch/dinner is by far my favorite dish and their egg rolls are amazing. The staff is very attentive and helpful and my food is always ready in a timely manner. I love this place! read more

Hearty, fresh, made to order Chinese food. Hiupon arrival. Have eaten in, but prefer to-go so we can also have hot tea. Everything delicious but my favorite is garlic shrimp with white rice. Hubby's fav Kung Po Chicken with fried rice. Highly recommend. Please be aware that our FAVORITE restaurant health score has dropped to a 93! I HOPE they get it back up, I won't go back until they do. Food was not being kept at right temps. Dangerous practice. read more

I ordered a lunch combo of sesame chicken and white rice and received sesame chicken with pork rice. I do not eat pork, so I had to eat the ride around the pork. The sauce used for the chicken isn't as sweet as I would have liked. Overall I give it two stars because I'm hungry and they are the closest Chinese takeout in the Northlake area. read more

Mandarin Chinese Restaurant - Sesame Chicken lunch combo - Chinese Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

The food at Mandarin is great - except it has MSG. With that in mind, I can no longer enjoy the great menu selections. However, my daughter lives for their food and goes every chance she gets! The location is convenient and orders can be phoned in for pick up. If you don't mind the MSG, you can't go wrong with Mandarin. read more

Love their food! Always fresh and delicious! Not much to look at theme wise, but it's clean and sanitary. read more

My favorite in the area! Food is made quickly and is pretty good for takeout. Food prices are comparable. I'm a Plain Jane when it comes to takeout- I only eat fried rice, lo mein, and the donuts. They are always consistent no matter what. The combo portions are pretty small IMO so I prefer to order my items separately. This is a typical takeout joint in a plaza. Good food, not fine dining but it'll fill you up! read more

Really delicious the rice and noodles were well cooked especially chicken I would mostly recommend the noodles and chicken They were fresh out not overcooked read more

Mandarin IS CHINESE AT ITS BEST. I DRIVE PASS Over 5 Chinese Restaurants To Get Here. Chicken and Shrimp Rolls Remind Me Of New York Chinese. Honey Chicken Wings To Die For. I'm Going To Get Some Today Now Lol read more

I had the pleasure of coming here with Eli, we were playing games and after all that mental exertion we had to get our chow on. I had never been here before but Eli is a weekly regular. They greeted him by name. This place is a tie with Lotus, it costs more and is a bit better but the price and quality are close enough they cancel each other out. If I had a coupon for this place it would hands down beat Lotus. This is another of what I would call KFC equivalent greasy Chinese restaurants. read more

Have called in and carried home many times over the years. Food great. Prices are great. Ole

4 stars because they have great tasting food and very fair (almost cheap) prices. 3 stars would be too low and 5 stars would require higher quality ingredients and better options. It's Chinese. About the same everywhere. This place has awesome general tso's chicken and the standard run of the mill sweet and sour chicken that is awesome anywhere. read more

Not bad for your typical, run of the mill take-out Chinese food. Big portions, cheap food. Tip: their spicy stuff isn't really spicy. At all. Also, avoid their egg rolls, which are bland; go for the crab rangoon or some other fried treat. read more
