All the food is delicious everytime we go to mandarin. The soup noodles and chicken dishes are amazing. Portions are pretty big too and good for the price. Very good for a halal Chinese restaurant read more

Mandarin Chinese Halal - Chicken Lo Mein - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Update from the owner responding: We are desi too and one of your oldest customers. So, yes I am speaking about my own community, no need for you to try and back them up especially when you yourself are the one giving bad attitude to them. You are the one I spoke to on the phone. And this review was for 3 events in one. How do you even know what day or time I am referring to? Look this place needs to work on their customer service and many of your other reviews say the same thing. The same goes with your quality of food. Those two go hand in hand for a great restaurant. I appreciate that you will take steps to work on things. It will definitely bring back a lot of your lost customers especially the old ones. My family and I and friends used to come here from when they first opened. The staff and owner were so pleasant then and quality of food was amazing. I don't know why I keep giving this place a chance anymore. The owner is so rude now and so is the staff. It sucks to say two words to them now. I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they've become so bitter because they have to deal with so many nonsense desi people. But it is just too ridiculous how they behave and speak now. On top of that the quality of the food has gone down significantly. Good thing is there are some halal places around Loudon area that are still great, just sucks that it is far from people on east side. read more

Prices can be a bit ridiculous for certain items but the food, is more often than not, amazing. It's unfortunate that a decent halal option seems to price gouge especially being in the suburbs (~30 mins outside DC). If you enjoy spicy, flavorful food, this spot is definitely worth a try! Service is solid though. (Although I usually order takeout rather than dining in) read more

I went there a few times and I can tell you it was alright. I got their food this one time and I found a little friend in my toso chicken a freaking whole cockroach was sandwiched and burned obviously this shows their kitchen is unsanitary and filled with a sizable amount families of cockroaches. I hope the FDA is reading this and goes back to recheck these guys because the cook must have been really blind not to notice a cockroach about the size of the takeout platter inside. I don't want to include the photo because you might want to go throw up the existing food you have in your stomach that's how DISGUSTING it was. I called them the following day to tell them about this and they did not seem to care at all only barely offering me a refund AND ASKED ME TO EAT AT THEIR COCKROACH INFESTED PLACE AGAIN!! That really had me frustrated with this place DON'T EAT HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE EATING COCKROACHES!! read more

Never ever going back there the food was sooo bad , me and family didn't finish the food it made us sick don't go there and waste your money

We ordered from here through Grub Hub. The chicken on a stick was burnt. The Lo mein noodles were mushy. will not be eating there again.

Worst food ever! Do not attempt to go here! Chicken was terrible under Cooked! The Chili Chicken was very sour and had no chicken! Terrible worst place ever! read more

If you ever feel incredibly hungry and need a huge meal, this place is for you then. I've been coming here for many years now, first as kid with my family and now as an adult with my friends. The food here overall is pretty good, great General Tso chicken and great Jasmine tea! Tho I must emphasize that they have raised their prices up recently, which honestly I don't blame them, many privately owned restaurants had to do recently. But of course the portions you get is well worth the price. read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. After a long day, we ordered a basic meal, beef & broccoli and general tso. It was the absolute WORST meal we have ever had considering it cost us $60. The food came hot but had very little flavor - I would say zero but there was a funky aftertaste to it. I didn't know it was possible to have bad chinese food, but now I do. Never again, don't waste your money! read more

The food is good but customer service is terrible! The woman upfront is too busy talking to the staff in back or on her cell phone.. doesn't acknowledge you with a " hi I'll be right with you ", or good afternoon or thank you! Probably needs to go yo finishing school! read more

Mandarin halal Chinese restaurant has great food. There soups are really good. Definitely the best halal soups in DMV area. I usually get chicken corn soup. Spicy wings and chilly chicken with rice. Yum yum yum!!!! read more

Mandarin Chinese Halal - Newly renovated!!! - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

The server and staff were extremely rude. She was complaining to us how she has had enough for the day. We asked for a plastic to go box and she said they charge 1.50 for it. It's sad cuz it's always the "halal" places that do such things. It's not about the petty cash, but the attitude. She tells us, my customers come from two hours away. Like we have no value. Definitely not going back there. read more

I am not the type of person that gives bad reviews. I recommended my husband to take his client to lunch at this location. I was so disappointed when I tasted the food. Visually it didn't look good and neither the taste good. It was total waste of money and total embarrassment. It was our first and last time at this place if I could I would have given a negative rating. read more

So this was an interesting and memorable experience but not in the way you'd imagine it go at a nice Chinese restaurant. Today I enjoyed an onion party here when I mistakenly entered this establishment. I saw the incredibly long menu (which for some reason has no descriptions for anything?!), and decided on a chili chicken and chefs special chicken. I was in for a treat. What I got was two bowls of cold thick sliced onions and peppers. In fact there was nothing chili or special about either dish. It was a tasteless, flavorless, embarrassment of a meal, which the restaurant should be quite frankly ashamed of. I would not recommend this place to anyone who likes tasty food. Take your hard earned money elsewhere, to a place that might appreciate your patronage. read more

I really like Mandarin. My mom had our family and extended family over for dinner here not too long ago and everything went well. The fish here is exceptional no matter how it is cooked. We really liked the Hunan style. The Mongolian beef and Hakka (very spicy) noodles were also favorites. We did not however like the Kung Pao Shrimp. it was cooked in a syrupy sweet sauce unlike we have ever had before. No one ate it and when a staff member noticed the uneaten portion, she offered to have it replaced with another option, so we ordered another portion of the Mongolian beef since everyone liked it so much. A pitcher of soda is $6, the food is moderately priced, but delicious. There is something for everyone on the menu! read more

Do not go there. You can go if you want to waste money and get overcharged for a below par food. Its a rip off. Expired drinks are served. Food is okay but service sucks. read more

Bad becuase I never recieved the order I tried to call the ppl for order they never picked up either bisaclly lost my $75 for nothing

I came here with a group of 8 on a Saturday night, it wasn't busy at all so we were seated rather quickly. Overall, I really liked this place and would come back again, however there were a few things that I did not like. First, the restaurant was a little dirty, even though they cleaned our table it still felt sticky. Second, I wish our waitress would have told us that we were ordering too much food because we didn't realize how huge the portion sizes were. I'd recommend the General Tso's, sweet and sour chicken and hot and sour soup. The spicy chicken wings didn't have any flavor, read more

They have a big menu, we decided to have wings(which was recommended by the server) and chicken lo mein. Wings were pretty good but not very spicy. Chicken lo mein was a little disappointing, did not taste fresh. Mango lassi however was legit, had one there and had one mango lassi to go. read more

The worst restaurant in DMV, the food is nasty and they have the worst customer service. Very low class restaurant

The options on the menu are diverse. The portions are decent and the staff are friendly. The single most unique feature is that this is a Halal Chinese restaurant which is very rare in the United States. If you enjoy "American" Chinese food you will not be disappointed at this restaurant. Saucy, flavorful options with the traditional sautéed veggies and short grain sticky rice. It's halal so Salaam Alaikum :--) read more

I've ordered take out from here twice recently and it's just as good as I remembered when I use to eat here years ago! Their vegetable lo Mein and Kung Pao chicken with peanuts is so delicious! The lo mein has a variety of veggies (mushrooms, slices of carrot, pea pods) and the Kung Pao chicken is always juicy and flavorful. You're also given a side of steamed white rice which tastes really good with the Kung Pao chicken. I've never had a problem with service and our food was always hot and prepared in a timely manner. Great halal spot! read more

My family and I used to visit this place often but with time we stopped going here. The reason is management and staff. The staff is loud and rude. My father simply asked for a server to come to the table and the server yelled saying OK we are coming it's busy! No it wasn't busy there were 2 tables that were occupied. They were standing and chatting/gossiping. The interior is totally falling apart. Tables are dirty and chairs are torn! Who would want to eat in such a place? Even the floors are not clean. When customers are done eating clean the floor along with the tables and chairs. The food is good but not the best. There have been times when the food is either too dry or has a lot of salt/sauce. Anyway the management needs to improve. I prefer not to eat at such a place because looking at the interior makes me uncomfortable. Perhaps take a peek into their kitchen it might be worse. Interior and arrangement also reflect the kitchen environment. read more

I can't even begin to explain how delicious their food is. If they're busy, the food will take a while to come out - but everything is made to order and PIPING hot when you receive it. I drove from DC to Springfield just to get this. Halal Chinese done exceptionally well is hard to come by and I'm so thankful that Mandarin exists to satisfy my cravings read more

Ok i like that they offer Halal Chinese, as this is hard to find in the Alexandria/ Springfield area. I really hope the owners of this place read all the reviews and work on making improvements. TO THE OWNERS: Asalamualikum, hey if you work on keeping the place more clean like real Muslims are obligated to be, I guarantee you will make much more business, have happy loyal customers and good reviews. Thank you and i hope you guys really make an effort... read more

I took my family here , and everyone had a amazing time. They give great servings, and food is packed with flavors. Its great to have a Halal Chinese restaurant in the area. Definitely coming back! read more

This restaurant is the only Chinese food that serve halal meet around the area, my family and I usually come here after prayers for a good meal. Until today, we have ordered combination fried rice, steak and peppers and beef fried rice. When we started eating we found lots of hair in it that threw us off , immediately we asked for a refund and we were told that it will take 3days for the refund. This will be the last time I eat Chinese food period. Due to the un decency of preparation of the food and the quality of it. Eat at your own risk. read more

Mandarin Chinese Halal - Raw chicken next to packing area for cooked food. - Chinese Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

So it went a little something like this:If you eat halal you know how hard finding a good halal Chinese is with that in mind I was in the area for a few days and jumped at the opportunity.I was sooooooooooo disappointed I'm not even sure I can put it in words.Hubby and I odered the orange chicken dinner,general tso chicken and spring rolls.He wanted lo mein with his chicken but for some reason they said they could not do it so he opted for white rice and i wanted fried rice.This was a carryout order.We get back to our location we realize we only got fried rice so we call and the lady on the other end wants to argue.I mean i'm i'm African but i wasn't about to get it popping over rice.On to the chicken lordtttt it was tasted like fried cartilage,tough,chewy mot flavorful at all.The fried rice was nothing to even talk about.I am NEVER coming back to this place! read more

Worst food ever. It was rotten and the chicken had mold on it. Do not go here. Health dept needs to visit them

If I have zero star I would that. Its below average food, very over priced the only reason this place is in business is it is Halal. Owner the Chinese lady is always very Rude, if we suggest or complain or ask any questions about something is not right or taste bad instead of fixing it, she Chinese lady start argueing with you, I never tried spicy Kang Pao with sweet sauce. When I told the Chinese lady owner she said thats how they make it take it or leave it, customer service is zero, dirty out dated restaurant dull lights.... Only becuase of Halal people come here but there is much better and cheaper option available in town. read more

Ordered delivery from here tonight via Grub Hub (thanks for the gift card my friend!). Ordered some simple stuff-broccoli vegetarian with a side of fried rice, chicken teriyaki and spring rolls. Order came timely and pleasantly, but omitted the fried rice with the broccoli dish. Called back and asked them to deliver a side to us. They complied. Food was good, spring rolls crispy and not overdone,. Teriyaki was very nice, lots of veg's included. If they can get the fried rice done right, we'll order here again. read more

I felt that the prices have gone up but the flavor and the portions are the same. I had the lo mein which was less flavorful than usual. Beef fried rice was nice and the G Ts chicken was same as always. Maybe the new decor means prices increase.. Update: Glad to hear back. We came in at closing time and were told to order quick as the kitchen was gonna close, which is why I think we wouldn't be served any ways had I brought up that lo mein was flavorless which normally it is not. read more

This used to be my favorite Mandarin Restaurant.. one of the main reasons was because it was down the street from me. Tonight my fiancé ordered us some food. Wonton Soup. Beef & Broccoli & Sweet & Sour Chicken. Usually we would get the sauce for the S&S on the side but today they decided to pour it on the chicken. Which by the time it got here, it was soggy and just not edible. My fiancée was not happy. We decided to call them and let them know the situation.. I spoke with an employee very sweet did what she could but could not help. I decided to speak with the manager. She started sweet but then decided to catch a really nasty attitude with me when I asked if by any chance we could return this one because of how the chicken was. I even advised her that the other times we have ordered from here it was always on the side. She then told me that every restaurant pours the sauce on the chicken, which is not true. She then told me I couldn't do anything. "So you mean to tell me I just paid for something that I do not even want." Her response "yes, yes you did." At the end she decided to say she will "let it slide" this once. Which someone shouldn't even say that. I'm sorry but this will be the last time I order from here. She just handled the entire situation so poorly. What a shame. I'm not saying that "customers are always right" but when we call and just ask and try to talk and you handle this the way you do.. you end up losing. I'll make sure to let all my friends and family know to never come here again. read more

Their food quality has gone down a lot. Ordered lo mein and friend rice. Both bland. Noodle were very dry and tasteless. Rice were like if the used old white rice that were so old that some were dried and hard and crunchy. Tasted bland and just soy sauce taste. read more

The only reason why this place is in business is because they are halal. The costumer service is horrible and the owner is rude. We found a bug in our food. And when we brought the issue forward she said "I'll take care of it" and walked away. No apologies nothing. I'm a long time costumer here and only return because the food is halal. The wait staff only comes to your table once and the owner is rude. I once went in with my family and our order wasn't taken for a good 30 minutes. Afterwards, when it was brought to the attention of the owner SHE YELLED AT US AND SAID it was our fault. Rude. Rude read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would, the owner or manger is very mean!! I went to the restaurant today with my sister and her kids, she insulated my sister In front of me, As I walked in the owner said where do you want to sit and how many people with so much attitude, and I said anywhere is fine and she said are u sure 4 people because "we have too much issues"my sister has been there before but it was my first time. We asked nicely what issues! She said we always come and have problems!! As I repeat it was my first time and if we didn't like the food we would have been going again? We wanted to know what was the real issue and she said I'm not sure if it's you or your family but you guys have issues. We had no idea what she was talking about. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU GREET CUSTOMERS! DONT GO TO MANDARIN CHINESE, they are the worst customer service in the DMV!!! I told the owner that I will be writing and she said she will reply back. read more
