Wow. That word sums up the food at the Mandarin. I like to try various Chinese restaurants everywhere I go, and I have never experienced food as delicious as here. The Crab Rangoon is perfect (there is actually crab in it, it isn't just a sweet cream cheese wonton most places pass off as Rangoon), the Beef Fried Rice is heavenly... I have never had a ho hum meal here. Everything is delicious and served family-style so you can share with friends. The portions are huge and VERY reasonably priced - two people can easily eat here for less than $20. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated in reddish carved wood and I love the giant fish tank. The service is very friendly and non-intrusive, and I have yet to see a screaming child running around. All-in-all a relaxing, delicious experience.

It's certainly better than the overpriced slop they serve at Palmer's Deli. Jason's Deli is better in my opinion. It isn't much of a "Deli" really, it's a sandwich shop. The Mama Mia is their best sandwich by far. The st
