Wong's Place had always been my favorite Chinese Food in the Phoenix Area. The decor was woefully outdated, but the service was ALWAYS friendly and fast. They had a waiter there that I remember from the 90s. Who does that anymore? We were sad to see that Wong's was "closed for renovations". We were sadder to see a new name on the front of the shabby strip mall it was in, but were still hopeful that we'd get the same good food and service we were used to. We finally tried it tonight. Mr. Wong (?) was still there, still playing with his false teeth but greeted us warmly and showed us a table right away. the renovation - which was LOOOONG overdue was very nicely done. Everything looked fresh and new - not dingy and gross like before. No tea - when it was Wong's, we were alway given nice tea to start the meal off. Potstickers - horrible. Wong's potstickers always took a very long time, but they were hand made fresh to order and they were THE BEST potstickers in the entire Phoenix area without question. Even worse, there are no more potsticker sauces. All we got was a little bowl of I'm guessing soy sauce. House Special Soup - gone. No more. This soup - I was convinced after eating it for 20 or more years - that it had magical healing powers. I kid you not - if you felt like caca, eat that soup and you felt much better. The way to cure the common cold - I swear to you! But alas, it is no longer. I will need therapy because of this - I am so not looking forward to cold season this year :-( Pork Fried Rice - so not the same. Not even close. This was relatively bland and even the portion was much smaller. Usually we take huge amounts of food home - not this time. Nothing went home. Szechuan Beef - The meet was very, very tender - almost like it was from a tenderloin. Not chewy at all. This was the lone high point. The sauce lacked creativity and tasted like it came out of a bottle or jar. The veggies were crisp and done nicely. Happy Family - interesting and pleasant combination of beef, chicken, shrimp, krab and tons of veggies but like the Szechuan beef, the sauce lacked creativity and tasted like it came out of a bottle. My bay area transplant husband forcefully approved of Wong's Place and said it was no different than eating in SF. I was pleased to see that other people felt that way too. Mandarin House tastes like what white people think Chinese Food should be. There is ZERO authenticity to this food whatsoever. The service was friendly - especially Mr. Wong (?) and his creepy teeth. I don't know where the waiter went - hopefully he found somewhere to go. He was a fixture there. We won't be back - unless they change the menu back. read more

Clean restaurant, great service and DELICIOUS food. It was our first time here and we will be back. Good portions and GREAT price! Kudos to the cook! read more

See all

OK with the caveat I have only ordered take out since the reno, but THE NOODLES ARE BACK & GREAT AS EVER! So I'm confused by so many reviews, some I just had to post to contradict! Henry IS there! Mr. Wong was there! The noodles were still the best I've had since San Francisco. One reviewer cited the old reliable servers vs. the new, which ironically I had chided Wong's for before they closed (they had some old dependable servers who were awesome, they also hired some new ones who - were NOT!) so service varies. The decor is updated as was needed. I AM SO HAPPY THE NOODLES I GOT WERE GOOD AS EVER! I WILL be going back when I have more time to try their other fare, see what's there. Their online website menu seems pretty extensive, so not sure what some said was missing. I'll have to try some of our old favorite dishes, see if they're still the same. I wonder where all the naysayers posting here negative comments now, claiming they were such fans of old Wong's WERE when Wong's was open, don't see their glowing praises of Wong's then, but see some negative comments, even then... so now we claim to gain respect as a responsible reviewer claiming we "were" fans for decades, citing such a contrast now, but no evidence of glowing reviews supporting them then? Something smells fishy, & it's not Wong's fish. & HENRY is IN the building! & the NOODLES ROCK! read more

Very rude to my wife and I. Food is ok and when Chinese Food is OK it will not ever get my attention again. Orange chicken was good but the house wonton soup is disgusting. I also had the shrimp fried rice in which I had four shrimp and the shrimp were different sizes. They are inexpensive for a reason. I would pass on this place solely because of the "Hurry up and buy" attitude. read more

Our order was so bad tonight. We ordered "hot and sour soup " ( the one we ever order), we received Egg Drop soup, ugh. We ordered pan fried Won Tons- never arrived. The test we ordered was delivered . It was OK, not ordering again, and when I called immediately after delivery, the man argues with me! Mic drop-done! read more

Great quality in food, super fast delivery. All our tummies were happy great choice for late night dinner

Great food with great prices! I actually didn't know about this place until my Uncle came in from out of town to visit once and he highly recommend it. It took me a while to get in... I finally took my mom last month and we enjoyed our choices. She had the vegetable delight and I had the chicken and broccoli. It's around 6:30 am and I already can't wait stop in after work for dinner! Yummy! :) read more

Orange chicken and the fried chicken wings is my favourite!! Definitely a good place to eat and it is so clean!

The Orange Chicken was very good. The bold taste of orange peel was definitely present which tells me a well trained cook made it. The rest was just ok. Not top quality rice is used and THAT alone is a mistake. Reminds the customer each bite how cheap the establishment is. The egg roll was good but fried in a cheaper oil. Good customer service, clean dining room.... this place could rock the sales if corners weren't being cut in certain areas. read more

Found this place by accident (super hungry and they delivered late at night). I have had delivery several times now. Every time it is AMAZING!!! This gets my vote as one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. The staff on the phone is wonderful, the delivery drivers are fast and super friendly and the food.... OMG the food!!! Highly Highly recommend this place! Dishes that I recommend: Vege Egg Foo Young, Chicken Kung Pao, Chicken General Tso's, Orange Chicken and the Egg Rolls (Get a lot cause you can't stop eating them super delicious). Keep up the great work Mandarin House. You won my business for sure!! read more

Favorite Chinese spot. I live in Mesa and will go out of my way because I know the food will be good every time

We ordered the Shrimp Chow Hu Fun and the Seafood Platter along with spring rolls, edamame, crab puffs and fried donuts for dessert. There was absolutely NO flavor to the chow hu fun, seafood platter OR the spring rolls. They were inedible. Not a place we will be ordering from again. read more

The delivery was as promised but the food was TERRIBLE. The shrimp was hard and over cooked and the fried dumplings had no flavor. What a disappointment to pay 30 dollars for food that is bad. I don't know what they other reviewers who thought the food was good was thinking or if they had a different cook on those days but it is just not worth the money. UGH!!! read more

food is delicious.the food is so fest to make it.and service is nice.I like it.so nice

Delivery is always super fast and food piping hot! Love this place! Ordered here many times and each time the food is just as good as before. The Chinese cuisine here is your typical American Chinese menu. Food quality is consistent and won't leave you disappointed. Serving sizes are large and filling. Definitely recommend if you're looking for good priced quality Chinese take out :) read more

Always fast, inexpensive, tasty, and hot when delivered. Only Chinese delivery I order in the area, its as simple as that. Bonus points as well for seemingly finding my apartment with ease, other delivery places always call and are confused about where i'm located. read more

Good food. Great food for the price. Was ALWAYS a nice clean friendly place to dine. They do fantastic contactless pick-up. I love their Sesame Chicken and Moo Shu Pork. SUPPORT LOCAL!! read more

This place has excellent service and delicious food. Best hot and sour soup in town. Good prices, always has coupons, online ordering and delivery. I love that it's just blocks from my house and the food is fresh and tasty. You won't leave hungry! read more

Great food, fast delivery. Polite delivery guy. I'll use them again. Great Mu Shoo. The food was still hot when it arrived.

Remember when this place was Wong's? It has been remodeled on the inside and the wait staff, who had been serving there for almost two decades, has all been replaced. Along with the face lift and change in staff the food has also changed. After being a patron of Wong's for almost my entire life I totally understand sometimes a business goes through change but this new menu and cooking doesn't live up to its predecessor. read more

I love their pork with Peking sauce, that is my favorite. It's only 9 bucks and It's more than enough for two meals. Unlike many other Asian restaurants, their pork with Peking sauce doesn't just come with straight up pork, they are mix with a lot of vegetables. I'm not sure about everyone else but when I get a meal that only has meat, it kind of forces me to order another vegetable dish just to balance things out. Anyways, great place, great people and great price. read more

Good food. Quick delivery service. Have not eaten in restaurant but perfect for when you are stuck home due to laziness or car issues. Lol. Thanks for saving my butt. read more

We have ordered delivery twice and dined in once. The food is always delicious and fresh. The dinner combos are a great deal and we usually have leftovers which reheat even better! read more

Ordered delivery today. They were fast and the food is AMAZING! The General Tsao's Chicken was the best I've ever had! I totally recommend this place! read more

I order from Mandarin House at least once a week. Delivery is always quick and the fee is low as well. Formerly known as Wong's Place, this recently renovated restaurant serves classic and modern Chinese eats very well and at a great price. Portion sizes are generous, I usually get a soup, crab rangoons, and an entree such as mongolian beef or general tso's chicken and there's always leftovers. Whether it's take out or dine in, this is easily one of the best local Chinese spots around Tempe. read more

I had the general tso first and it had a funny taste. I decided to give it one more chance and had the sesame chicken and it was pretty good. What has me coming back is the steamed dumplings and crab Rangoon's! They are both really good. I'm going with broccoli beef next time and I'm hoping for the best. The best part is the cheap fast delivery service by far! Very decent Chinese food and I'm really picky. read more

I live in old town scottsdale and this is my go to spot for Chinese delivery! About 40 minutes and the food is always well packed and Hot!!!! And to top of top notch delivery the prices can't be beat! Just had the chicken curry with pork fried rice! read more

i ordered chicken egg foo young and it was uttrly disgusting, stay away from this place

My food arrived just now. Never again. First of all, I ordered spring rolls and they gave me egg rolls. I did not want anything deep fried, so I got very annoyed. I ordered shrimp chow mein and shredded pork with garlic sauce. Chow mein is so blend that I am doubting any presence of sauce on here. By the color, some seasoning is done, but I am not tasting anything. I'm trying to describe it, but it literally taste like nothing. It smells slightly nutty, but not even taste of any noodle. Amazed by how they destroyed all the taste here. Even the shrimp just taste like boiled shrimp. STRAIGHT OUT from boiling. Very annoyed. The garlic sauce is okay-ish, but the 1/3 of the pork are in a bad shape. It feels so dry and crumbly that I am not sure if I am chewing pork. Definitely not worth the price. When I was looking for delivery, I saw the place on yelp and believed the last review where it said 'the chef and owner are still there and it's good.' I never tried Wong's place, but because it was told to be good, I thought I would try it. Also, I am NOT a picky eater at all. However, it taste far worse than anywhere I paid to eat. I will not be ordering again. read more

Been coming here since I moved to Arizona. Great food and friendly staff. They also deliver through grubhub so that's convenient when I don't want to drive down there. read more

Delivery order was spot on. Quicker than promised and great food! Will order again!

Local eatery where I've been coming for a long time (back when it was Wongs) Just recently noticed they have an online website with menu & ordering options. I did however notice that when you place an order online , you have to register as a user. I did not feel comfortable so I decided to place my order and see what my total will be. I then proceeded to call my order in and I noticed the price online was higher than the price they gave me over the phone. So for the next time I will simply call in my order rather than fill out the form online regardless if I'm picking up the order myself read more

Worst Chinese food I've had in years. Devoid of flavor and spice. Small portions, everything is suddenly sweet. Service would have been ok had they not got my order completely wrong. RIP wongs. Don't bother. read more

Order was late. Food was cold. Delivery guy was weird, said "thanks for choosing Mandarin house" saw my dog walking up and ran away before I could even give him a tip. Glad I didn't. Will never order again!!!! read more

Wong's place was a mile better than this place. I ordered the Twice Sauteed Pork which barely had any pork and was not as flavorful as expected. Also got the Sauteed String Beans in Garlic Sauce and that dish was too sweet for my liking. I guess all hopes of going back to the old Wong's menu are dashed. read more

What a disappointment. 2 stars because the staff was decent but other than that, it's just a waste of money for me. I found them through grubhub. Ordered 3 things: the Yang Chow fried rice, 3 vegetable thingy (broccoli, peas and string beans) and the Singapore Noodles. None of them had stellar flavor. The most flavorful out of the dishes was the 3 veggie dish thing, it was drowned in Oyster Sauce. The delivery driver was 25 minutes late, but he apoligized and he said there was an accident. I understand, things happen and he seemed genuinely apologetic anyways. But yeah, food wise though.... Nope. read more

I have nothing bad to say about this place. The people are very kind , the food was great, there are tons of things on the menu and have a decent selection of vegetarian/vegan food. read more

Mandarin House - Sesame tofu - Chinese Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Today was our 2nd time ordering through grub hub. The prices are fair for the portion sizes, and the food got here pretty quick. The food was pretty good, especially the egg rolls. My chicken was a little soggy (possibly the result of ordering delivery instead of dining in), but still had pretty good taste. We will probably order from here again in the future read more

Unfortunately, the new ownership has not maintained the flavor standards of Wong's Place. The decor has been updated and the food is fresh, but the sauces have little flavor. This is a run of the mill Americanized Chinese restaurant now. read more

Food is good, the price is good, they have fast delivery and super nice employees and customer service. Especially like the sweet/sour chicken and egg rolls. read more
