Great food, great service and great value! We're there every Sunday and are working our way through the menu. Have loved everything we've tried. Oh and great Mai Tais! They make them the way we like them - special for us with all dark rum. read more

I haven't been in there in twenty years. Still the same douche, behind the bar, still the same crap. Also the food sucks always did. I just love people talking about this place. Being the greatest, but all Chinese food restaurants suck. There is no more good ones. Especially this dump. Unless you like hanging around with alcoholics, but in my opinion it sucks! Especially the people that put their hands-on me in there. I felt the light breeze as you put your hands on me. I will see you again. read more

Took two hours to receive food so it was cold and not so good was disappointed I've had their food before and was never disappointed

I tried and tried to give a chance for their food. They lie. I had a bad order and my husband returned order. They told him they gave him a credit. No. He paid again. We waited awhile and it wasn't good. Rumpery shrimp. Small and disgusting They didn't care about our complaints. So I found Lu's Kitchen in Chelmsford. Rock shrimp. Juicy. Amazing. Bye Manaarin. read more

doesn't open as late as wah sang but it's a good spot for more food less money if u get the special plate especially when sharing with others. their rice and lo mein are better than most spots imo not too plain or dry read more

We ordered takeout a few times here, and it has been very consistent. Recently I was on the hunt for creamy, crispy, savory crab rangoon, and my husband wanted fried rice - I was not disappointed by their crab rangoon! We also reheated the leftover house fried rice a few days later, and the aroma of the wok through the rice was delicious and comforting. read more

The best Chinese food in the city! Not only is it the best in Lowell, but it is by far the most affordable anywhere around...food and drink alike! Lily and her crew are terrific. Friendly and always welcoming. And did I mention the portion sizes? You won't leave hungry, but you will leave with leftovers! A must try! read more

I moved from California to Mass about almost two years now and was looking for a go to Chinese food spot and had tried others but wasn't satisfied until i found this place. Its not one of those places like in california where they have combination plates and the food right in of you where you can choose from but it is still good and it's my go to Chinese food now and they make it fresh when you place your order. Highly recommend. And i always go for lunch hour. Favorite so far is the lo mein with orange chicken or general tso chicken . Have yet to try others maybe the broccoli and beef next time . read more

Got there last night a few minutes before closing. They were wonderful to make me dinner even though it went past closing time. AND it was delicious! Will definitely be back (and will make sure it's not at closing!) read more

Today I called to pick up a large order of beef with broccoli and a small order of white steamed rice. I really like the portions that they give you. The beef is flavorful and tender and cooked all the way. I have a trust issue when it comes to Chinese food due to getting sick various times from uncooked meats. I think that they should include white rice with your order of beef and broccoli, but I guess everyone does it differently. What I like about this place is that it's about a 7 minute drive from where I live on campus, so my food is still nice and hot enough to eat without having to microwave it. read more

Mandarin Lowell - Beef with broccoli, ate half of it and plenty left :) - Chinese Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Coworkers and I dine in several times a year when we're looking to start our weekends off with some food and cocktails. Service is always super efficient, drinks are strong, and food is hot and flavorful! My more local spot for Chinese takeout was closed this NYE, so I decided to try the Mandarin for my large takeout order. Used the online system to order a few days in advance and kept expectations low knowing how busy and chaotic NYE is at any Chinese place in New England. Was super pleased that my order was bagged and ready when I picked it up a few days later and the food was fresh and hot; didn't need to reheat anything and all items were accounted for. My family said they liked the flavors and quality of the Mandarin better than our usual go-to spot, so while it's a longer drive, the Mandarin is now my family's take-out spot of choice. read more

Typical greasy chinese food. Monsterous portions. They do not play

Incredibly tasty food. And served very hot - love it. Ordered the Kung Pao chicken and spare ribs dinner plate for lunch. Yummm!!!!!!!!!! Crispyness, flavors, and EVERYTHING is on point. Just go steady business all the while there. Is this a Lowell hidden gem? Does anyone know? I'm definitely coming back. read more

I wouldn't eat here. I've been here for drinks and the place isn't clean. I've watched them take dirty glasses and reuse them in the shaker, one after the other. I've watched her put the used straws on the bar and then did everyone get the correct straw back? Who knows. The glasses aren't really clean. Some people won't order anything that requires a glass- only out of a bottle because it's safe. The floor is dirty. The tables aren't clean. They are very nice though. read more

The food came cold. I payed $18 for what appears to be 4oz of food. I called to ask what happened and they said that is what you get for $18. Never again ! read more

Absolutely would not recommend. I have always liked the food but have never had a driver as rude as I did tonight. Called...yelled something and hung up. I called back he yelled again and hung up. When he arrived I thanked him for my food, he yelled again and left. Never again!! read more

I paid online and it charged me they said it never went through it was taken out of my account I showed that to the delivery driver he gave me my food I got a call from the store telling me I never paid for it told me the driver was coming back for me to pay again he called me yelled at me and I went out he yelled at me again do not go here they are disrespectful the store told me he does not speak English don't send someone to deliver food if they don't speak English read more

One of the better places to get Chinese in Lowell. Food is not greasy like typical places and it actually tastes fresh. I have ordered delivery and went in to sit at the bar. I usually order the typical appetizers and entrees. Crab Rangoon, scallion pancakes, orange chicken, spring rolls. They are all fantastic. I love the atmosphere of the bar and the bartenders are very nice. This is my go to Chinese place. read more

The portions are great, the food is delicious, somewhat timely delivery but will never disappoint. My favorite place in Lowell!

My favourite Chinese takeaway in Lowell. Mapotofu+pork lunch combo is the best! The bar seems good but I don't drink though. read more

I love mandarin lowell. Their food is always spot-on. But I recommend calling in and picking it up. Yelp and grubhub ordering is a fekkin nightmare. This is the second time they have screwed up and left me waiting after they told me it was ready to pick up. read more

We got an order of appetizers and some rice - ie American Chinese food - nothing authentic or crazy :) Delivery was fast and food arrived hot. 5 stars The food itself was just okay - the highlights were the house fried rice which tasted fresh, was piping hot, and filled with tons of pork, chicken, beef, and shrimp. We also got chicken fingers that were especially well prepared with batter that was light and crispy. Stuff that wasn't dipped in batter and fried (chicken wings, teriyaki beef and chicken, boneless ribs) were just kind of tasteless and flabby. No grill marks on anything - the vibe was like they were boiled in sauce or marinade...? The boneless ribs were SO SWEET with a weird sticky texture. With that said, I give the food 3 stars. read more

Last two times they used over cooked mushy spaghetti instead of lo mein noodles. I'm finding a new place to eat Chinese food.

Great portion for a reasonable price. I love the $10 deal. The food tastes good. I will surely be ordering from this restaurant again. Most importantly, it was delivered earlier than expected. read more

Mandarin Lowell - Pork fried rice, boneless rips, 3 chicken wings and 1 egg roll. All for $10 - Chinese Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

We ordered a side of white rice and didn't get it. And we didn't have any utensils or napkins. They couldn't package this in a plastic container? Because it leaked through the plastic and paper bag... read more

Mandarin Lowell - This is a H10 Mandarin Garlic Combo. - Chinese Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

If you like hair in your rice, than you'll like this place. If you like "sushi rice" that's just plain rice, you'll like this place. And do you like "sushi" pieces cut into Juliennes of fish?... I think you get the picture. This is pretty bad. On top of it all, there's nowhere to park. There are so many better places within throwing distance, why bother with this? read more

Great food deliv we delivered hot. Why did yelp require more words i wonder. This place made great food delivered hot read more

I haven't been here for a few months and boy have they changed! The service was horrible. We had an older gentleman who was rude af - he must be a new hire. We sat down to eat and food was brought out in takeout trays... really?! Are you that lazy to clean dishes? I asked for egg drop soup along with my meal and that never came. The icing on the cake was when he came back with our change and tried to short us $10. I don't know if he did it on purpose or by accident. Either way, I'm never coming back to this business again. Boy bye! read more

I ordered through UberEats, and had made a special request for plain lo-mein noodles, no meat or veggies. About five minutes after placing the order, I got a phone call from the restaurant, confirming the special instructions. The food was perfectly made and the portions were just right. Will definitely be ordering again! read more

We wanted to try a new place.. We ordered soup, egg rolls, dumplings, pork fried rice, moo shi and orange beef. All standard items. We didn't like any of it. read more

I've always heard great things about this place. So I ordered delivery from them and it pangs me to say The food here is honestly not that great. It was so bad that I threw most of it in the garbage. They use way to much five spice, so I feel like everything I had which was chicken fingers, wings, scallion pancakes and crab rangoons had a funky taste. Their lo mein was the best part of the meal. read more

Food is always top notch and ready fast reasonable prices and is my go to place EVERY time!

My original review on this restaurant took place in 2015. Somehow, the name Mandarin Asian Bistro - and the Mandarin Lowell were confused with one another. We have, since, corrected this error - we have NOT visit/eaten at the Mandarin Asian Bistro. We have, however, been to the Mandarin Lowell - this review reflects our experience there in 2015. Having seen a parking lot full of diners over time, we decided to give the Mandarin Lowell a try. That was a mistake. The food was greasy and not tasty. The service was awful - we had to wait 15 minutes before our order was taken. That's not a good thing. And we shared that thought with what we believe was one of the managers. It turned out that the owner/manager was not on site that evening. We do NOT recommend a visit to this restaurant. read more

I haven't ordered food from the Mandarin since college (gasp! that's over 10 years ago!). I felt the same, unsure feeling when someone from work suggested we go there for drinks after work. The gaudy green-blue facade. The peppermint pink trim. Don't judge, though, this place is fantastic! Though I didn't order food when we went out for drinks, I was sure to rush home and rave about it. The drinks, mind you, were super boozy. The mai tai was rum-tastic! I had just one and sipped it slow. A week later we ordered takeout. Amazing! I had the Kung Pao Chicken with boneless spareribs and pork fried rice. The rice was fluffy, with crispy bean sprouts and onions mixed in. The boneless ribs were thin, almost a bit meatier than jerky. I like them this way and there were plenty on the plate - the portions were huge! The Kung Pao Chicken was just okay. The celery and carrots were fresh and had a great crunch and the sauce was slightly spicy. My boyfriend loves the General Gau's Chicken - it's breaded and crispy, tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce. Mandarin is fantastic for huge portions of fresh food or a stiff beverage. One of the best for Chinese take-out in Lowell. read more

I tried scallion pancake from a lot of Chinese restaurant, by far, this place have the worst. It was really soft, maybe the inside weren't well done. It didn't taste good either. I also ordered the special plate (fried rice, chicken fingers, boneless spare ribs) It didn't taste that good. The fried calamari were really little, I thought it was a lot until' I found bean sprouts filled up half way in the box! -__________- Definitely not worth the 10.50! But the only good thing about this place was that the waiter/waitress were really friendly. :) LOL. read more

I love getting my takeout and delivery from here. They never fail to deliver great tasting food and service.

I very rarely review places, but this last experience with Mandarin Lowell set me off. I ordered 2 plates (small order) at 6:10. I then called at 7:20 when I hadn't received my food order. I called up and was pretty calm, because it is food (no big deal), but immediately the woman on the food threw every excuse my way. First I was told I said Blvd, not Street, for my OWN address. Even if I had a sudden lapse in memory, and forgot where I live, the woman who originally took my order stated she had my address (we order every few weeks from there). The experience has been "meh" but the other Chinese places in the area's food is lackluster. So, I was told I lied to her about my address, then she said she can do anything as an apology when I asked, and then said "We are busy, I am so sorry for you (sarcastic tone)." So I was called a liar, and mocked on the phone for a delivery they screwed up. This place has good Chinese, but this is the last time, as I eat my now cold food. Get your act together. read more
