"Mandarin Kitchen is a big, lazy susan, chopsticks-leaning-across-the-table, type of restaurant that also has a claim to fame—it’s the birthplace of ginger and scallion lobster noodles. An institution in Queensway, the restaurant’s most famous dish comes with a slice of theatre as enormous chunks of juicy lobster are mixed with bouncy egg noodles and a thick ginger sauce table-side. It’s a sensational, shell-suckingly good dish. One that will, along with everything else on your table, likely leave victorious stains on Mandarin Kitchen’s pristine white tablecloths." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
