    Mongolian Beef
    Roni K.

    Great service. 15 mins from order to table. Love that you can hear and smell your order being prepared. The Mongolian beef was spot on- onions still crunchy and layered in sauce. Teriyaki chicken was a very large portion, served on cabbage carrot mix. The sauce is not too sweet- great balance. We get our massages next door and then grab a bite to eat here..

    House Lo Mein
    Terri R.

    My BF wanted to grab something quick for a late lunch. We went to Mandarin Kitchen and were greeted warmly by the woman working. It's a nicely decorated and inviting place and we commented that we would have enjoyed dining in because of the aesthetic vibes. We were in a hurry so just ordered a House Lo Mein to go. We love these noodles! The Lo Mein had so much flavor and a good portion size as well. It was really packed in the take out container. We kept commenting how we wished we had this place back home. Definitely recommend!

    Beef chow fun rice noodles

    Small dining room, nice and clean. Compact menu compared to most Chinese restaurants, but I'd rather they do a few things well (they do) than do lots of things poorly. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Our waitress must've spent 15 minutes talking to us! Portions are large and exceptionally well executed. I had the beef chow fun noodles and it was absolutely perfect - flavorful, tender beef, just enough sauce, and a good number of bean sprouts which really make the dish. Two of us had the house special kung pao which they both said was excellent. One had the orange chicken which looked beautiful. 3/4 of us had enough to take home for another meal. Highly recommended - we will be back for more!

    Mongolian Beef
    Izzy O.

    Stopped in here after seeing a movie tonight and was super impressed. The Mongolian beef had a really great sauce that was slightly sweet but also spicy. The Orange chicken was crispy, sweet, and spicy and our entrees came with a big old bowl of rice. Everything was delicious! Our server was very friendly and made sure everything was good for us. The restaurant is small but they fit a good amount of tables in there. It's also super clean! Definitely check it out and get the Mongolian beef!

    My friends and I ordered takeout while we were staying in Arizona. All the meals came with fried rice. I got the chicken lo mein which tasted really good. I like they have chilli oil instead of just soy sauce and duck sauce. The thank you note was so sweet. I only took a star because the fried rice wasnt the best. It didn't taste like a fresh batch at all. If that was different, it would've been a perfect meal.

    Pepper Steak With Onion
    Lilian Z.

    Not sure why this place doesn't have better reviews!! Partner and I were visiting AZ for a tournament and we were craving Chinese food. Though there are very few in the Tempe/Scottsdale area, this place definitely hit the mark!!! Employees are super nice, food is amazing and the portions are huge. We ended up here 3 times within the week and a half we were here. I've had the beef broccoli, the beef with mixed vegetables and the pepper steak with onions, all 10/10 would recommend!!

    Egg drop soup
    Zack R.

    My daughter wanted some egg drop soup so we came here. I typically do not like Chinese food. However this was beyond delicious. The orange chicken was by far the best I've ever had and the fried rice was outstanding. They give you a cream cheese wonton and spring roll with every lunch special. The service was quick and easy and the food came out fast.

    Egg roll,  wonton
    Brad W.

    Really enjoyed the lunch special of Szechaun chicken with fried rice and cream cheese wonton for $12. White meat was good as was sauce. Only improvement needed was the egg roll, which was more like a spring roll.

    My group and I traveled from California to attend an event and to celebrate my birthday. Following our meeting, we conducted a local food search on Yelp and decided to dine at Mandarin Kitchen. This establishment boasts a compact location with friendly staff who exhibit warm smiles and pleasant personalities. I have a particular fondness for Thai Milk Tea, especially when it is expertly prepared to achieve a perfect balance of sweetness. The Thai Milk Tea at Mandarin Kitchen is indeed flawlessly balanced. For lunch, I ordered the Chef's Special Kung Pao Delight and Edamame. The vegetables were crispy and cooked to perfection. The Kung Pao sauce was flavorful and not overly spicy. I am thoroughly enjoying my birthday celebration at Mandarin Kitchen.

    Thank you note. What a nice touch!

    We had food delivered last night and it was so good! Hot and fresh! We had Sesame Chicken Mongolian Beef Chicken Fried Rice We will definitely be a repeat customer!

    Landscape print on the wall and umbrellas on the ceiling!
    Bernie D.

    Ordered two dishes and both were good! The vegetables were stir fried just right, with enough crunch left! Mapo tofu sauce was flavorful and not salty! Heat was lowered per request. Small, clean dining area with beautiful landscape wallpaper and cute umbrellas above. Service was prompt and server polite.

Lots of lump crab although I'd just call it more like a crab dish with bread flaks rather than a crab cake. Still delicious, but my vote is for g and m in Maryland for a traditional cake style with very little breading versus this for if you just want crabs. Service was very slow. It's hard with kids because you'll be there for a couple hours guaranteed. It's also pretty loud so I wouldn't recommend this spot if you have younger kids. I did have some stomach issues later that night but cannot confirm if it was from here or from lunch.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

Some in the group ordered pan roasts and some ordered crawfish etouffee. My friend also ordered clams. I always get the combo pan roast here. It's a mix of crawfish, shrimp and crab. Choose your spice level from 1-10. I forgot to specify a number and just said "hot" but it was not spicy enough for me. I normally get 7-8. I ended up adding in all the hot sauce options that were on the table plus some chili powder. Now that had a good kick to it. Ask for that! Price for the combo pan roast has doubled from before! It used to be $20, then it slowly increased to $30, and now it's $40! It's good, but I can also make it at home and get more for my money.

    This place feels like someone at the casino ran out of ideas--and space--and decided, "Sure, let's…read morecram a seafood restaurant into this random corner and call it a day." The result is a space so small and awkward it borders on absurd: a few tightly packed tables, a tiny circular bar, and just enough room to guarantee a wait time that feels wildly out of proportion to what's actually being offered. It's wedged at the end of a hallway off the casino floor, with all the ambiance of a service passage. Calling it a restaurant is generous; it's more like a seafood-themed afterthought. Honestly, it would make far more sense as a grab-and-go sandwich counter or coffee stand. As it is, it comes across as the fast-food version of seafood--minus the speed, convenience, or value. I was there with my 21-year-old daughter and we sat at the bar, which turned out to be a mistake. Instead of even the bare minimum of professionalism, the staff treated the space like their personal break room. We were subjected to loud singing, nonstop chatter, and unfiltered complaints about coworkers and management--all happening just a couple of feet away while we were trying to eat. It wasn't just distracting; it was genuinely uncomfortable. There's something uniquely off-putting about paying for a meal while being forced to listen to an impromptu staff gripe session. With so many legitimately good restaurants nearby, there's absolutely no reason to waste time--or money--here. It's the kind of place that makes you immediately regret not going literally anywhere else. I would have happily waited to dine at Orange Sky, where the setting and service actually match expectations. In hindsight, skipping this entirely wouldn't have just been the better option--it would have been the obvious one.
