This might be controversial, but I think Mandarin Grill is actually quite underrated and a solid spot for large groups (I had a party of 8!) They serve all the classics at a decent level, so there's something good for everyone. Broccoli Beef is a winner here, but you can't go wrong with the lo mein either. Service is so friendly and attentive, too! The interior looks like it hasn't been updated in at least a couple decades, and I wouldn't change a thing either. I've taken my chance on a lot of random old restaurants around town, and with Mandarin I may have found a winner. read more

Staff super friendly. Not one other person in the restaurant Friday night 7:30pm. Hmm. The kung pow chicken was blah not much flavor. I asked for fried rice I got steamed rice put on flat top and served. No veggies. The shrimp lo mein lo mein had lots of shrimp not much flavor. Soup they didn't have much flavor either. Pricy for the quality of food. read more

The food is decent, I would recommend this spot for takeout only. The iced tea had a stale taste to it and the cooling is not adequate for the space. read more

Not quite as good as I would have hoped in a crowded Chinese food market. I got the Hunan beef. For what I paid the portion size and quality wasn't a good value. The service was average. This wouldn't be my first choice for Chinese food after giving them a try. read more

For many years (20+) this was my favorite Chinese food in Tucson. Boy was I shocked last night when the Mandarin Wings were spicy, the egg roll was inedible, and the house lo mein was tasteless. I would never have recognized it as coming from the Mandarin Grill. What a disappointment. We had this for our family dinner as take out. If I had been at the restaurant, I definitely would have sent those items back and reported my displeasure. read more

We walked into a clean but empty restaurant. The waitress sat us immediately which was easy. It kinda worried me about no one there; but there were numerous people picking up take out food. We received our meals which was a typical Chinese tasting dish. As we ate other patrons came and dined in. The take outs continued to picked up. The waitress was knowledgeable of the meals and checked in on us frequently. We would eat there again. read more

Drive 45 minutes calling and calling along the way to place order...nobody would ever answer so we get here at 8:25 and they got chains on the door! SO NOT HAPPY read more

Mandarin Grill - Mandarin Grill Grant Rd - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Best server in Tucson Martina will always greet you with a smile. The food is delicious and fresh.

I made an order to go for dinner, and only received the sweet and sour chicken with white rice. I was not asked if I wanted fried rice, as well as did not receive the egg roll that their menu states dinner comes with, nor was I asked if I wanted to pay the $1.00 extra for the soup. If you ask me, that's not very good customer service. read more

We did a delivery to our hotel and the food arrived on time and hot. Delicious We enjoyed garlic chicken, chicken wings, 3 ingredient Lo mein . We thought all was seasoned well and portions were nice. We were just traveling through and didn't want to drive. Good choice for Chinese and authentic! read more

After working all day around the house and in the scorching sun I decided I wanted to treat myself to some yummy Chinese food. I ordered a dinner combo with Mongolian Beef and I opted for the chicken fried rice as the side and it came with a veggie egg-roll for 11.99. I was really excited because Mongolian beef is one of my favorite dishes and I know it's spicy and savory with strips of hot oil seared beef seasoned with garlic and onions and hot chili's, and it also usually has strips of green peppers. It's a spicy savory dish with almost no sugar which is why I like it. Well, this was not anything like Mongolian Beef. It was SO SWEET it tasted like teriyaki beef with scallions tossed in and wet soggy noodles? It was mush and the beef itself was saturated with the sugary sauce that was way way way too sweet. If I was diabetic it would have sent me to the hospital. The chicken fried rice was so generous it felt like they were overcompensating because they knew the food is subpar. The egg-roll was mushy and small. Nice chopstick! They did get the spicy mustard in there as I asked and it was packaged and presented securely. No spills! Over all the customer service was short and sweet and polite but the food they are serving is like someone stopped caring and/or just doesn't know what they are doing. read more

Mandarin Grill - Vegetable fried rice with hardly any vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I would definitely recommend this place. We came here the other night for a date. Even though it's very small restaurant it was perfect for what we were looking for. The experience was amazing. The server was super attentive. We usually order this food through DoorDash delivery. But since they have now open seating we decided to come in and actually sit and eat the food for once. And it was pretty amazing. The portions were huge. The atmosphere was really relaxing and peaceful. And I was honestly super glad my boyfriend decided to choose this place. The portions are even much bigger in person than what you get in DoorDash. so if you definitely want some really good Chinese definitely come by here. Portions are huge employees are nice. And it's small and personable it looks like it's a family business. read more

Food was great, Good price for a good amount of food. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant wasn't super busy went so it was quiet and peaceful. We've also ordered DoorDash through them and food was still really good quality read more

Long time patron of the Mandarin Grill. Quality and taste is consistent but the portions are getting smaller. I've been ordering the same lunch specials for years. Same great taste only less ingredients. Egg rolls seem to have shrank too. I brought this to the owner's attention on one occasion and was comped a free meal which was really professional. I'll continue to dine at the Mandarin Grill but probably not as often as I used to. read more

Did the whole call in and pick up game to enjoy some chinese food. Food was ready when I arrived and all bagged up tight. Dinner plates were large, food was good tasting, and egg rolls were on point. Their hit mustard was very good and their crispy noodles were perfect too. One issue, they provided no forks or chop sticks for a to go order??? Would return here for future meals. read more

Mandarin Grill - Take Out Chinese - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I have ordered from here a handful of times and they have always been very good, I ordered delivery last night, (chicken teriyaki with fried rice, beef lo mein, and an order of pork egg rolls) all was tasting fine until about halfway thru my beef lo mein I found some metal piece very skinny with a little bit of length. Because of that I will no longer be eating here and will be telling all my family and friends not to either. read more

Mandarin Grill - a close up of a plate of food - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Its been such a long time since I've last left a review Anyhow, for the past few years everytime we traveled down Grant to eat at Fat man or Chef Wang's, we pass the Mandarin Grille and say we need to try it. So now we finaly did. Unfortunately, it was pretty bad. Pretty, pretty, pretty pretty bad. First, our experience for this meal was delivery via Door Dash. This immediately significantly raises the price to the 'rip off' category so the food has got to be very good in order to get a good rating. As a starter we has egg rolls and fried Winton's stuffed with cream cheese. Both were soggy. The egg roll looked and tasted it was stuffed with shawarma rather than than pork or chicken. My main course, shrimp with ginger and garlic, tasted very good. However, for some reason the ample portion of shrimp were all breaded. Why7 By the time it gets to the customer it's a soggy, soggy mess. The vegetables in the dish were all extremely over cooked and quite limp. We also received hot and sour soup. Normally one of my favorites, this was pretty pretty bad. To say it was hot would be an understatement. On the sour side, the sour called in sick and was replaced with a sack of sugar. Yuck! Too bad. This was a place I was hoping to genuinely like. I doubt we'd go back. read more

The service was OK, I ordered chow main with noodles and I guessI got what I ordered, nothing but fucking noodles for 10.oo . I guess that's why there was no one in the place. After 20 years, too bad read more

Perfect for lunch but a lot of food. If I had a complaint it would be that it was sooo hot. Friendly service and fast. Quaint little mom and pops read more

I just brought home 3 orders of chow mein. OMG! I am so glad I did because it tastes sooooo good. And the pork egg rolls are not too bad (I have a thing about egg rolls having mushy insides). read more

Okay, this place is definitely under rated. I read the reviews and was skeptical, but the person I was with insisted on giving this place a shot. I'm so glad I did! The place looks a little dicey from the outside.. it's not instagram friendly or anything like that. But the food was LEGIT. Their service is fast with friendly staff members. Their portion sizes are HUGE. Their egg rolls are also large, about double the size of a standard one in my opinion. Their soups are all delicious! We had their beef lo mein, fried rice and a chicken item with lots of vegetables. The fried rice was a little wet in my opinion, but everything else was great. Also pricing is inexpensive for the amount of food you get. We had 3 to-go boxes! I would definitely come back and I am glad I gave this place a shot. read more

Ordered takeout wanting to try a new place. It was terrible. I ordered a teriyaki chicken meal and the box was in an extra bag with sauce leaking everywhere and on all of other items. No care was taken in the packaging. The potstickers are all dough. This is the worst Chinese food I have had and will not be returning or recommending to anyone. Very disappointing. read more

Just moved here trying something new! Food in boxes sorry no leaked everywhere & so,so

Speaking as person who loves to cook with over 40 yrs of experience...I ordered the Orange Chicken today . It was the worst example of a chicken dish I have ever tried to eat. Dry and fibrous , hence tough and old . The fried rice was also pretty bad. ( tasted old , stale and leftover.) Also : this place does not stand behind it 's product ! They offered me a future credit for " the $ 12.00 lunch special....am I ever going to give this place another try ? read more

Do not come here and expect to be treated well by the owner. I was picking up a delivery and attempted to call the restaurant as per front door instructions (due to COVID). Owner could not here and hung up phone and so I politely tapped on glass and was greeted by an extremely aggressive owner who then denied me service and also used f words and called me a " f***** white cracker" read more

I usually don't do this, but the food was just that bad. It's a really bad sign when a Chinese restaurant doesn't know how to properly cook rice. They used too much water when steaming the rice, and it tasted very old. Re-steamed for sure. The egg drop soup, the egg roll and the hunan chicken were all somehow both bland and overly salty. The egg roll had that gooey center that indicated it was frozen. Service was just weird too. Felt like I was getting yelled at for everything. Might just be the way the server talks so honestly that's not his fault but it felt weird and made for an unpleasant ambiance. Spend a couple more bucks and head up the road to Jun Dynasty read more

Well ... lunch today falls in to the "fuel" category as opposed to the "food" one! Had the lunch special for $5.49 with hot and sour soup, egg roll, fried rice and Kung Pao Chicken. Hot and Sour soup: Acceptable. Not particularly spicy or sour. Stir fried rice: tasty with that nice "wok" flavor Kung Pao Chicken: Meh. Not spicy at all, almost in a gravy (too much corn starch perhaps) but veggies were crunchy and there was a decent amount of chicken in it. Egg Roll: Such a grease bomb that I had to spit out the bite I took! I'd put the lunch in the carbo load category .. for when you need quantity not quality. The service was very good though and the waitress was pleasant and the food came out promptly and was piping hot! We had eaten here several times before and our favorite dish has been the Pepper Spiced Prawns. Will try it again for dinner .. lunch was disappointing though. read more

Mandarin Grill - Lunch special of Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I don't know why but I usually love food and eat all that I order or at least there's one in the menu that I don't like and the rest is fine, but when we came here for a dinner all the food that we ordered is salty, even the soup and the fried rice! The chicken wings from the sample platter have a weird taste to it like its cooked in a very old oil. The restaurant is also old and dated and when we were there, there's a broom and dust pan that's been sitting in the dining room for awhile.. read more

Food is terrible. The orange chicken has no flavor and has a small portion, the rice was the worst part of it all, the soup wasn't good, the only decent thing was the egg roll. read more

Got a delivery of food and the char siu tasted old and rotten, the crab ragoon was soggy and the cream inside also tasted rotten. The chicken was alright but there were still feathers attached to it. Even the egg rolls were pretty bad. We also had the pork fried rice and i think the meat was bad... had a weird funk to it. The szechuan beef wasn't even spicy. The vegetable lo main was on point. Definitely not going to order from here again, now excuse me while I go evacuate my bowels. read more

So the reviews on Yelp and the reviews on Google are quite conflicting. Not sure why yelpers aren't a fan of this place. Boyfriend and I tried this place Saturday night and it was AWESOME! The portion sizes were HUGE, the service was quick and our waitress was very friendly. We went with the spicy chicken egg rolls which are GIGANTIC, a bowl of wonton soup which was sooo tasty, imperial chicken and sesame beef with a side of fried rice. All of the food was good and will definitely be returning. read more
