This place is shockingly bad. Me and a co-worker ordered two lunch specials and a Chinese chicken salad. We got Mongolian beef and garlic chicken. Both were extremely flavorless and seemingly cooked without any sort of sauce. I mentioned this because on the bottom of each of our containers was a pool of smelly water. It was gross. My beef was stringy and so was the chicken, of which they don't give you very much in the first place. There were also very few vegetables from what each dish had advertised. Chinese chicken salad was not a Chinese chicken salad, it was lettuce, chicken, and Chinese dressing. No wontons, nothing but massive amounts of lettuce, a few tomatoes and a small portion of chicken. I should have taken a picture of the food before we ate it, but I managed to get a picture of the Chinese chicken salad. I used to think it was probably pretty difficult to mess up Chinese food, but this place did it in Grand Style. read more

I've always love this place and their good has been consistent. Today my order of Singapore street noodles and orange chicken were phenomenal. They didn't have that syrup feel which I like in general but today everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. Not sure if they have a new cook.. Keep it up! read more

Great spot for quick takeout. Owners are friendly and food is fast to pick up. Recommend for an easy takeout night!

Ordered lunch for delivery. Credit card charged. Food never arrived. Mandarin did not answer phone. Drove to restaurant. Note on locked doors: CLOSED ON TUESDAYS. Thanks for letting us order online, for charging us, for starving us...on a day you are closed! read more

Surprisingly good Chinese food. I'm very weary of places that do asian fusion as I like places to stick to what they know best. The fried rice is yummy and the wonton soup is tasty. Has the walnut chicken for main and it was better than expected. Will definitely order again. read more

Just good classic and FAST Chinese food. It's definitely my go-to for Chinese delivery.

It's a reliable place for fast traditional Chinese American food. My boys and I love so many items but end up getting the same great entrees and appetizers most of the time. The orange flavored chicken is always a hit as is their killer ribs! I also love their tofu and vegetables and BBQ pork fried rice! We're lucky it's so close for delivery or for last minute pick up. They are friendly and always cool to say hello too! read more

This place is absolutely awesome. Why can't we have good Chinese food like this in Arizona. It's just not possible to drive 5 1/2 hours every time I want to eat Chinese food. How about opening a new location to the east in Phoenix or Scottsdale. read more

Their fried rice is the best!! Well-seasoning, tender beef and everything else is perfect! I also ordered the Peking Duck and it's really crispy! The soup (the Crab Meat with Corn one) can be a bit better if it is less liquidy. read more

Good veggie options. Great veg sushi rolls. Efficient amd friendly service. Delivery

This place is great for what it is: quick, affordable and tasty Chinese food. I always get the veggie rice and veggie Lo mein noodles. I've heard their orange chicken is good too. I don't know why they don't have more positive reviews, honestly. Very consistently good. read more

I have celiac disease and this restaurant is really accommodating about it. I can safely eat here AND it's tasty! (And the price is pretty fair) read more

YUCK! I just ordered delivery. The crispy tofu was soft and gross. The kung pao tofu was breaded?! And the low mein was so oily with hardly any vegetables and no taste. It was a shot in the dark ordering with them. I received their menu in the mail. I was super hungry and thought I'd try it. What a waste of $40!!! I am going to add some of my own freshly chopped veggies to all the dishes. That might salvage it. But, ya know, the idea of delivery food is that you DON"T have to cook! Thumbs way down! And their prices weren't even that cheap. I've had better $1 Chinese food. Better off to spend your money at Yangtze or Wokano in Santa Monica. At least it's fresh and healthy. read more

I'm super picky about Chinese food. I am often disappointed, especially on the Westside. I stumbled on this place, when I was meaning to go to the Indian place next door. I remembered them having a steam table years ago. I was hungry and was willing to take a gamble. Walked in, steam table is there, but covered with menus. Food is now made to order. I was asked if I were ordering take away or for dine in. I took a seat. I'm intrigued now. (I was mainly intrigued by every person in the place speaking Chinese and stuffing their faces. Something has to be going right, right?) I sit in the corner. I'm brought a menu and the young lady took my drink order. No fountain drinks, so I take off a star. I just don't care for canned drinks. I ask for water. Not knowing portion sizes, I order a lunch plate and a side of California roll. I'm brought a little plate with salad. Salty dressing, but it worked. The California roll came next. I was pleasantly surprised. Good flavor and a little chew, which I like. My plate (chicken with green beans) comes next. I had asked for brown rice. It was cooked perfectly, not underdone like many places. It had that light nutty flavor and fluffy texture I like. The chicken pieces were large and juicy. The green beans were perfectly cooked, still a little crunchy. The brown sauce had the right degree of saltiness and a good mouth feel, not too oily. I loved what I ate. What I didn't love was a young Asian man sitting to my left glaring at me the whole time I was there. He was hunkered down over his food, shoveling it into his maw and giving me the stink eye the whole time. I just smiled at him, pointed at his food and gave him the thumbs-up. He continued to glare. Parking isn't always easy here. Prices were super reasonable. I noticed that they did quite a bit of take out business, even for a late lunch. I went around 1:30. I need to go back and try more dishes! My waitress was incredibly pleasant and efficient. read more

The food is DELISH!! I ordered the vegetable chow-fun instead of lo-mein noodles and it was very very tasty! Their veggie egg rolls were good too. Meal was hot, and the price was right. Will definitely be coming here for me Chinese take out from now on. They have great lunch specials. No dine in, just take out and delivery services available. read more

One of the best Chinese food places in Venice! Food is fresh and hot when it arrives, the Chow Mein is a little salty just FYI, but everything else is great! Also order with the Beyond Menu ap and the delivery is free and the prices are cheaper for each item than Postmates/Uber Eats. read more

This my go-to Chinese American food delivery place in the area. It's tasty, consistent and the deliveries are very fast. I typically order their chicken/vegetable stir fry, beef and broccoli and hot and sour soup. It's comfort food every time. I think this place deserves a 5 star rating in its category - convenient fast chinese food. read more

This place was horrible, I ordered from Uber Eats last night. Pepper Chicken was made with Jalapenos...???? Garlic Broccoli had no garlic whatsoever and the BBQ Pork was practically leather it was so over cooked. I honestly do not get all the great reviews, the food has really bad. read more

The delivery person was very unfriendly, extremely rude when I told him the order is mine he did not believe me and was trying to get to my office without permission. Later, he asked me to tip him (TIPS ARE OPTIONAL NOT MANDATORY). read more

My absolute go-to for Chinese food on the West side! I've been ordering from this place for about 10 years now. Never had a bad meal and they've never made a mistake, Fast, reasonably priced and free delivery! In addition to Chinese cuisine, they also offer sushi, (again reasonably priced) and other Japanese dishes such as tempura and teriyaki. They also give very generous portions. If you're used to Nobu and expensive Chinese restaurants, this may not be the place for you...but for the rest of us, this place rocks! read more

I've ordered delivery from this place twice now and both times it has been amazing! The lo mein noodles slap you can really tell that whoever is making it is putting love into it read more

I ordered from them today. I showed up a few minutes later from my pick up time. I had ordered the orange chicken lunch combo and sushi combo. I was handed a small bag. When I asked if that had both lunch specials with salads and everything in it he said yes. When I got to the car, I opened the stapled bag to only see two cases of sushi.... The sushi was in what looked like pre-made case which looks like what you can get at the grocery store. I sat down to eat my food and the shrimp tempura roll looked so gross, I ate one and it was terrible! I ate a piece of the orange chicken and the piece was have white meat and half dark meat... so strange. The quality of the food is very poor. I saw one of the employees touching food she was preparing for to go orders with her hands... (wontons, egg rolls) The only reason that they got 2 stars is because the egg rolls were not bad and the online ordering is quick and easy. I would not order from here again. read more

Mandarin - Disgusting Pre-made sushi?? Looks like what you can buy at the grocery store. - Chinese Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I ordered delivery from this place and it arrived within the estimated timeframe. However, when I answered the door for the delivery person, I was greeted with "YOU ORDERED?".... when I took my food he then mumbled something as he walked away. So strange and rude. -1 star for that. As far as the food goes, I was craving and expecting fast food quality. I ordered orange chicken, which did not taste like any orange chicken I had ever had before. It was pretty bad and did not even meet fast food quality. Also, it did not include rice. I don't know if that's a thing with this place or they just forgot it, but that is worth another -1 star. The chicken lo mein was super boring and the chicken in it was weird. Another -1 star. The cheese wontons were really good though. So good that I will actually give this place 2 stars just for that item. Pros: Delivered on time Decent cheese wontons Cons: Gross orange chicken Bland lo mein Rude delivery person No rice with entree??? I will not order from here again. read more

Some of the BEST Chinese food & sushi I've found in West LA. 10/10 would recommend this spot. Always satisfied with our order!

My favorite chinese takeout delivery place - no frills, no delivery fee, lunch specials are an extremely good and cheap deal. Orange Chicken is my favorite item on the menu. Cheese wontons are great. Ordered today and it got here in less than half an hour - insane! Typical chinese takeout style food. Nothing LA-fancy but if you're craving fast american style chinese takeout this is it. Anyone rating badly is probably a snob. read more

Fresh and hot, not too heavy and very tasty. I highly recommend ordering the fish fillet in bean sauce and any of the shrimp options of rice or noodles, great appetizers as well. read more

It's not a great experience. Ate there for lunch and thought the sushi was more or less fine. But one of the employees was sitting up front with no shoes, talking to his bank on speaker phone. I ordered from a menu that apparently had outdated prices so ended up getting charged more, and the waiter was super defensive when I brought it up. The whole place just had a general vibe that lacked professionalism, even by cheap Chinese food standards. read more

This place is ALWAYS great. Delivery is fast and food is great. Sushi is good too. Price is reasonable and delivery is free. Great option. read more

Food is delicious and delivery is convenient. Love their hot and sour soup and their general Tao's chicken is delicious! Lived in LA a year and keep reordering here because other places aren't as good. Not sure why the rating is low on Yelp because this place should be 5 stars. read more

I got the orange chicken and the beef lo mein. I am very picky when it comes to eating at new places, but this is one of the best Chinese food places I've eaten at. The employees were nice and the food was hot and fresh. Will definitely come again! read more

This place is so disgusting AND overpriced for the cheap ingredients and portions they serve. I will definitely not be returning. Part of me wants to demand a refund, but Miss Rona reeking havoc on the world.... I don't want to add any more bad juju to the universe. The following is what I ordered and what was wrong with it. Chicken fried Rice: nasty, greasy, clumpy white rice with poured soy sauce over it. The "chicken" tasted rubbery. Chicken lo mein: noodles SWIMMiNG in a pool of oil. Two tiny strands of rubbery chicken. No seasoning and overcooked. General Tso Chicken: soggy coating, with the smallest strand of chicken inside the flour ball. And greasy beyond measure. Orange "beef": the smallest portion of beef for $15!!! Oily, and bitter. DO NoT order from here unless you want to pay for overpriced greasy Chinese food that is DIsGuSting!!! read more

Delicious and phenomenal pricing!!! Highly suggest ordering for take out! Everything I ordered was delicious! My favorites were the cream cheese wontons and the beef chow fun! read more

Very very very delicious food great hospitality I would recommend this restaurant to anybody especially the chow fun very nice people perfect amazing food thanks read more

We order take out from here all the time and love it! Wish they had better Yelp reviews because they're great and always deliver super fast.

Great sushi spot! Fast delivery! Their wonton appetizers are so yummy. I love their combo sushi deals! Honestly, it's a great local spot!!
