    I tried the new location and new menu. It was good. The service was okay but could have been friendlier. It was clean and had a beautiful patio. The cucumber salad was not good. The food was overpriced. There are so many great Asian food places in Tulsa and I would not get dumplings here again. My friend wanted the flat beef noodle spicy but it just seemed like they put a bunch of chilies in it instead of adding flavor. It was not her favorite and mine was good because it had no heat. But it is better at a lot of other places around Tulsa.

    Orange Chicken

    This is the tail of 2 dishes and our experience was a mixed bag. On one hand, the orange chicken was amazing! Maybe the best I've ever had while their Dan dan noodle was the worst I've experienced. Weird flavor. We ended up just sharing the orange chicken. Which was fine by us because the portions were huge!! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The interior is well decorated and upscale feeling but the music selection was jazz, great for a steak and martini but did nothing for the rest of the wonderful atmosphere. The staff did comp the dan dan. We will be back but a few changes could make this place stellar.

    Classy, excellent service, and great food sum up Mandarin Taste pretty well. I am surprised by how beautiful the restaurant looks. I love everything about it from the parking to the outside patio and to the inside. Every table has a centerpiece of fresh flowers. To me, the restaurant is immaculate. The service was truly exceptional on this visit. The server was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The menu at Mandarin Taste is extensive including traditional Chinese entrees, a little bit of dim sum, and hot pot. I would say the dim sum is lacking and doesn't have a lot of items. The hot pot is expensive. The pork dumplings in spicy sauce were delicious and so was the black pepper beef on hot plate. The beef was a little sweet but it had a good taste. The tomato egg drop soup was okay. The portion size of the entrees was large. A little pricy but not much compared to other Chinese restaurants. I am not sure why the review of Mandarin Taste is so low but I would definitely recommend. This is one of the few restaurants I would not read the reviews before trying. It is a lot better than what's being said.

    The food was great and authentic! The only thing needed was better portion sizes I feel like something the portion size were a little small for the price. I do not recommend the matcha ice cream it was really gritty and had fatty cream chunks. The service was great our server was really attentive and didn't bother us but still took care of us well. The restaurant itself is very nice and decorated well, really a step up from the old location.

    Kimchi Beef Fried Rice

    Food was very good! I ordered the Kimchi Beef Fried Rice. The rice was very fresh and flavorful, beef was seasoned well. The serving size was pretty large, it was enough for two meals. The restraunt has a beautiful design and they have a patio if you want to eat outside, thanks!

    Kung Pao Chicken, empty bowl

    We've been meaning to try this place and finally dropped in. And we were pleasantly surprised. It was really good flavors. I mean, Lo Mein noodles can be kinda boring, but this was really tasty. The veggies were crisp and not over cooked. The Kung Pao was pretty good too. I ate it all as you can tell. Sorry, I was so hungry I forgot to snap a pic. Here's the big question. Would I come back????? Yes I would. I would like to try the Hot Pot next time. I think they may not offer it every time because it wasn't on our menu. But everything considered, I gave it 4 stars.

    Chicken Fried Rice

    Mandarin Taste offers a delightful experience with its standout dish, the black pepper beef on a hot plate--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The crispy duck is a unique option, though I might not order it frequently due to other appealing protein choices. The lower prices of other protein options that I like better make me feel like "cool, I tried the duck, it was decent, I don't need to do it again". The chicken fried rice was tasty and they don't skimp on the chicken . The veggie lo mein is lovely, especially with its sizable broccoli chunks. Efficient staff ensures hot food, although friendliness is basic. The clean and inviting ambiance adds to the overall appeal. While some claim it's the best in town, I'm still deciding, but it's certainly among the top contenders.

    I've been here once before at their old location so I wanted to check out this new location. Love the new building and decor. Very nice! We ordered the pepper steak, pineapple sweet and sour chicken, taiyaki. I loved the pineapple sweet and sour chicken! The only thing I would change would be to not cut the pineapple so close to the core because most of the pineapple chunks were really hard. The pepper steak was way too tender for my liking. But the flavors of the sauce was really good. Our server seemed like it was his first night? Food came out fast.

    8 Juicy Pork Dumplings

    The restaurant is really pretty. It's bright and open which I love. Beautiful inside and a nice outside dining space too. The staff is friendly and helped me with entree selection which I appreciated. The dumplings were so yummy and had just the right amount of heat. Spicy black bean cilantro chicken has a ton of flavor! So glad I went with mild to spicy for this dish. Large portions meant leftovers for a second meal...winning! My friend got the orange chicken and it was delicious too. My son enjoyed her leftovers. He's a teenager and not always easy to please. I cannot wait to go back and check out other items.

    Outstanding Asian cuisine, like I've eaten while traveling overseas. This is not your typical Chinese-American buffet style food.

    C8. Coconut Curry Chicken
    Erin L.

    We finally tried out Mandarin Taste after getting several recommendations from coworkers. The ordering process is a bit different - there was one waitress in the restaurant who came around to check on us and explain how to order online. Once you add menu items to your online cart, you then "check out" and send it to the kitchen to be made. Our waitress was very helpful in explaining the menu to us and suggesting things we might like. We started out with pork and shrimp dumplings. They were pretty good, but not very flavorful. We love dumplings so we had high expectations coming in. I also tried the Chicken Coconut Curry which included dark meat with some veggies and rice. This curry flavor was really unique and buttery. It wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but I could see why others enjoy it. If you like dark meat, I would definitely try this dish out! One thing we really liked was the sauce bar where you can make your own sauce. My husband and I each made a unique sauce with all the flavors we liked. We weren't overly impressed with the food, but service was good and we enjoyed our experience.

    It's been ages since we have been to Chengdu. I don't know why because it's probably my favorite…read moreAsian restaurant. I like it because of its authenticity. You can get all the common dishes here but you can also get some unusual dishes that are very authentic. My grandson once ordered jelly fish. You can't get that at very many local restaurants. Another thing I like is that they have a couple of large round tables with lazy Susans. Our extended family sat at one of those tables once. It was fun putting the things we wanted to share on the lazy Susan and being able to spin it around and try what we wanted. It made for fun conversation talking about the different dishes. That was when our grandson ordered jellyfish. The restaurant is fairly small but the large tables make the restaurant good for groups. I think this would be an excellent place for a Yelp event. They have a lunch menu but you have to ask for it. It includes some of the popular Asian dishes for $9:95. They have smaller portions that come with a choice of soup or egg roll. Danny and I asked to see the lunch menu, but decided to order off the main menu. We split Crispy Tofu with garlic sauce and egg rolls. I liked the presentation of the egg rolls. They were cut diagonally and arranged nicely on the plate. The tofu dish was quite tasty. Next time, I plan to get Mei Fun. I have had it here before and loved the variety of flavors. The service wasn't terrible but it wasn't wonderful. We got our food in a timely manner, but we felt rushed to order and she didn't check to see if we needed anything or refill our water glasses. Service here has been excellent in the past. I am glad we came back to Chengdu and were reminded of how much we like it. We will be back soon.

    This is the best Chinese restaurant in Tulsa. Six of us each got different appetizers and mains and…read moreshared them around the table. Everything was fantastic! We will definitely be returning soon.
