The Mandarin Restaurant is a bit of a misnomer. It should be called the Mandarin Bar. There are rarely any diners in the restaurant proper. The bar, however, is always filled with aging drinkers--thus the 1 star for "Kid Friendly" and "Ambience".
The food is mediocre, at best. The Egg Drop Soup is extremely watery. The Boneless Spare Ribs were not very lean. The Egg Roll would be more properly called a Spring Roll.
The entire restaurant overall looks very aged and not "sparkling" clean.
For a better experience and better food, try Chen Yang Li or the Lilac Blossom
