    Beef Beef or Chicken w. Broccoli & Fried Rice
    Oscar M.

    Wow. The beef broccoli was delicious. The serving size was acceptable based on the price. The beef was tender, the sauce was delicious and the vegetables tasted fresh. I also ordered an egg roll and wow the size of that egg roll looks like a burrito. This place knows how to feed you. So if you are hungry, don't want to spend a lot of money and want good Chinese food, this is your place.

    Sweet & Sour Chicken Fresh Shrimp

    The food was all pretty tasty, but what I was disappointed by the most was how much of it was fry battered. I ordered a combination dinner special with fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, chow mein, and fried shrimp. I wasn't expecting my sweet and sour chicken to be fried. The children inside was pretty dry too. I also thought that the chow mein would be noodles but it was just some mixed veggies with fried noodles. The fried shrimp was mostly just batter with very little shrimp in it.

 Sent to my contacts in China and they said they had never seen this "Egg Roll" before.

    The food was horrendous. Touted as authentic Chinese cuisine but when I sent it to my nationally born friends who have lived in China their entire life, they had never seen food like this. The "authentic egg roll" was foul and tasted like all of the restaurant's leftovers deep fried. Do not go there if you are looking for true Chinese cuisine.

    My search for a fantastic authentic Chinese restaurant has been long and arduous. BUT...Mandarin House is wonderful. It's about an hour away, but whenever I need a fix on good Chinese food they are a Go To! Some of their meals are traditional American Chinese. But if you ask the server you can get the real stuff and it's cooked with good Chinese spices, well flavored, spicy if you want and just YUMMY! It's so hard to choose when you know the meal will be spectacular, so we ordered more than we needed because left overs are so good. It give the sauces time to meld and the flavor is so good. We ordered twice cooked spicy pork, pepper onion beef, pork stomach (cold). All three were very well prepared, spicy without burning the mouth, and flavorful. We will return!

    Please don't eat here. The food not only did not look appetizing, but it was bland and some dishes were out right uneatable.

    Nothing special. Big portion and it gave me the Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. Too much MSG otherwise it's good.

    I ordered my food, and when I got it handed to me I never received my receipt. (On the window it…read moresays if you don't get a receipt with your meal your meal is free) so I went back and said I didn't get my receipt. They said they " threw it away" I don't believe it. Don't advertise something like that and tell a costume they can't have what you advertise. I also ask if I could maybe get like a side of something to replace the free meal. And they said no cause that's no how the sign and deal works... I was very upset about this. Not just because it's false advertising but because the workers were very rude about it.

    Well... well... well... You know.... lately the jokes about customer service in Pocatello are…read more becoming as common as witticisms about the rude waiters in France. You would not want to believe half of them, it's just the other portion that should get you concerned. I never understood why the people who are misogynistic or have a chip on their shoulder pick themselves occupations where they have to constantly interact with other people non-stop, especially in 2026 when there are are so many options to pick and choose from. China is a big country and whether it is authentic Chinese or not I liked Panda Express a lot. The girl who stated she is the manager of this location is surely one unlucky Pandeja. Even my spouse who has decades of supervisory experience refused to believe that Vanessa is the manager at this weird place. You are in a customer service not on Nevada's ranch, drop the attitude. What do I know? Made an order for specific time, paid $60, arrived 7 minutes after it was confirmed to be hot and fresh and ready for pickup. Nothing wrong with that. Decided to treat my family and brighten our Sunday right after we mourned a loss of the family member the day before. Can work it out later, or can I? Peter denied Jesus 3 times before the rooster crowed. Vanessa, the manager, denied ever being able to find my order 7 times in less than 20 minutes. Few times she just grabbed my phone which I never intended on fully giving her was using it just to show her numbers. Hope she did not steal financial info used to make an order. Her attitude was very hostile and innerving. She made me feel uneasy. Once she even wrote some numbers with the sharpie on her...hand...Made funny faces at me like that fish you just took out of the water for the next 3-4 minutes while telling me "I can't find your order". What was she expecting on my part? An advice to do her job and look a bit harder? Like if at first you don't sucede, just try then try again? Assistance in searching for it on her turf? I always try to stay employed, but rarely feel generous enough to randomly send $60 into a space. I had all the proofs about the order being placed, received and fulfilled on their end yet the so called "manager" refused to either give me my order, remake it if they gave it to someone else, or refund it at the very least till I said my next stop would be to file a police report as Vanessa's behavior was juvenile. Then the arrogant Vanessa miraculously found the order and got it refunded telling me to wait business days to be compensated for that very order they allegedly never received. Only made fool of herself and disappointed 4 people. Not a biggie. She denied ever receiving the order 9 times in total during the 30 minutes I tried to pick up the "express" one and apologized 0 times, treated me like I was mentally retarded and not comprehending what was going in. I also plead my case with Martin who offered no help. Hope they get bankrupt and other franchisee buys them. For a quick bite pick McDonalds across the street, quality is always consistent, for Chinese if you got a minute just go to Mandarin House. P.S. Someone told me manager was promoted from within. That and a fact that I reported what happened to corporate few days ago and was not even dignified with a response tells me everything I need to know about their true values. Would not support the business that endorses this approach.
