The Mandarin

I love this place! This is one of my go-to spots to take Chinese friends or people coming into town who like Chinese food! It’s a nice fancy Chinese restaurant with really beautiful and tasty dishes. The dishes are on the pricier end ($20-$30) but they come out very beautiful and tasty so I would highly recommend. This time we got Spicy Beef Tendon, Salt and Pepper Tofu, Garlic snow pea leaves, Eggplant in Spicy Sauce, and Kung Pao chicken. Everything was delicious. The beef tendon dish looked especially nice. Service: We came on a Friday evening and there wasn’t too many people so we were seated right away. The dishes came out one by one in a timely manner. They also box the leftovers for you, which I appreciate. They do start tip at 20% which is a bummer but not unexpected for a pricy place like this. Interior: The restaurant feels like a pretty fancy Chinese restaurant. There’s lots of tables so there’s plenty of seating. And there’s a lot of tables with turntables on top, so great for family style dining. Parking: There’s parking the back, behind the restaurant. There’s also many parking lots in Menlo Park downtown, so it’s not hard to find a spot.

First time here and it won't be my last. This restaurant had great service with delicious, wonderfully presented Asian dishes. Vast selection of menu items. Beautiful upstairs and downstairs dining room. Great for small or large parties. Bar seating with an extensive collection of wines and some beer. A little pricey, but that goes without saying if you're located in Menlo Park /Palo Alto Bay Area. Honestly, the food and service is worth the price though.

Good food and great service. We ordered the honey-walnut shrimp, kung-pao chicken, Dan-dan noodles and whole fish in spicy bean sauce. Every item was tasty and portion sizes were generous. The food would have been better with less oil/ salt/ sugar. The owner/ manager was very friendly, stopped by to say hello and gave my son a mango dessert on the house ! The decor is great, and the restaurant is clean and welcoming. Good experience !

Food was authentic. Not the typical super oily chinese restaurant. The Ginko chicken soup was perfect for a cold day. Smoked duck ws also good and well seasoned.

This is now my favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area! Their raw crab is so delicious I wanted to cry. It was so good that I just had it 2 weeks ago and had to go again, despite the hefty price tag. All food had amazing quality and freshness. Food presentation was also lovely. 3 of us had all the food in the photo and it came up to $250 after tax and tips which is not bad at all. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to have some good real chinese food. Will definitely go again!

The servers go out of their way to assist. Constantly refilling our waters (orange infused). The servings are family portions so price is actually fair. They have tasty Yelping…Chicken. Green beans chicken (needed a little bit more salt but still very delicious) also love the dessert soup. The place looks clean and they clean the benches also. They have great alcohol choices as well. We will continue coming here for the excellent food and service!

In the realm of gastronomy, true connoisseurs recognize that it’s not just about tantalizing the taste buds, but alsoembracing a lifestyle. Today’s special chef dishes, be it the nuanced Oil Crisped Matsutake or the rich Pan-Sealed Cod, reflect the chef’s deep reverence for ingredients and the artistry of cooking. I’m really impressed! The restaurant has an extensive list of wine and the owner’s wine pairing brought all the flavor of food to its climax!

Came here as part of a team outing of 40+ people which was accommodated with 4 large tables on the second floor. Delicious multi-course meal with a variety of dishes. Some of the standout dishes include the stir-fried eggplant, whole steamed fish, rib soup, black pepper beef. The owner also personally came by to trial out a very special dish made with egg whites and fresh slices of black truffle and egg yolks with iberico ham which was a very unique fusion of French techniques with traditional Chinese inspiration.

We had an amazing experience at the Mandarin. We ordered a few of the daily specials, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. The owner was very friendly and took the time to chat with us. We learned that they use 16 different types of soy sauce in their dishes, which adds a unique and delicious depth of flavor. Highly recommend!

One of the most authentic Chinese food in the area! Not many places you can get fresh sea food and delicious spicy dishes at the same time. Service is great, ask for Julie the manager if you have special request or large party to accommodate. Lastly, they have a great selection of wine as well!! Highly recommended!

We came here as a party of 7 on Valentine' Day at 6:30pm. The restaurant was packed, and there were only 2 or 3 servers, so unfortunately service was quite slow and inattentive. Despite the overwhelmed staff though, we really enjoyed the authentic Chinese food and the clean, sophisticated ambience. We ordered the hot & sour soup, 8 entrees, and a desert, which was just about the right amount of food for a filling, celebratory meal for 7 with limited leftovers. The best dishes were... Mapo Tofu - delicious but SPICY. We love spicy food, and this dish was even a bit too much for us without lots and lots of rice Sweet and Sour Mandarin Whole Fish - unique, regional fried fish in a sweet and sour fish. I have never seen this dish available in a restaurant in the US, and it was really well seasoned and cooked Twice Cooked Pork - thinly sliced, juicy, crispy pieces of pork with leek that's just delicious We also ordered the golden prawns, snow peas with chicken, dry braised green beans, and tea-smoked duck. Everything was authentic and delicious. Overall, I would recommend this place for a celebratory Chinese dinner. Do expect slower service though.

The inside is fancier than expected, and we were asked if we had a reservation. We did not, but they were very nice and led us to a table. The servers came by multiple times to fill up our water, and they checked in as well. It did take quite a while between us asking for the bill and for them to get it to us, but perhaps that's because they had a big event on the second floor. General atmosphere gives the vibe that it's good for big groups. Parking was a little sus - the lot is crowded for sure, but there's a lot across the street as well. The food itself was alright. The twice cooked pork was the best thing, followed by the green beans. The pan seared noodles and braised beef noodles were on the saltier side (everything was a little on the salty side), but ok. The kimchi-like veggies on the beef noodles were the best part of that dish. The pan seared noodles had way too much sauce.

One of the main reason why I like to come here , is because of the hospitality. The waitress Christina was very attentive and so kind. The food quality is top tier, and tastes even better. Never disappoints, the ambiance was delightful. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and families. 10/10 for the service from Christina and 10 for the food as well

Yelp has this as $$ (meaning on the lower priced side). I guess I should have known that a restaurant in Menlo Park on El Camino Real would not be. Located in a relatively low traffic area for a Sunday evening, we were able to get reservations without using Open Table. That was charging a deposit to book so we called instead and were immediately given the ok, 5 minutes before arrival. The ambience is nice and it has plenty of seating (pondering why after the experience). There is a large area of seating downstairs and then has an upstairs level too that I assume could be overflow or private parties section. You walk in and you see waiters dressed in almost full tuxedos. You don't see this in $$ rated restaurants. Once you peruse the menu, you begin to wonder if the food is that good since the prices are so high. We went ahead and placed our order. The scallion pancakes were first to arrive. Two small pancakes cut into 4pcs each and served with.......(drum roll please.........), absolutely nothing! No soy sauce, no chili oil, no other dipping sauce. And we had to wait until the waiter came back to ask for chili sauce. The sauce we got was similar if not the new trendy Fly by Jing Sichuan sauce (which is a favorite of mine). We refilled this twice during our dinner. The next dish we had was the crispy spicy crinkle cut potatoes. Think of what is supposed to be deep friend fries served in chili oil, sesame seeds and lots of scallions. The potatoes were not friend enough, had no crisp and were slightly raw inside. The waiter almost refused to believe it when we told him but he did offer to tell the chef. The Mongolian chicken was good. The chicken pieces were thin squares/rectangles lightly friend and flavored with onions and green onions and peppers. This was the best dish of the night, but definitely not as spicy as I like. And once again, our go to Fly by Jing had to be added. The last dish was the veggie chow mein. Bland noodles and veggies served in a small portion with no taste without the added sauce. And for $20, I certainly think this was not a good deal. So, honestly, I rate this a 3 because the ambience is nice, but this could be a 2 star rating. $71 including tax for chow mein, mongolian chicken, 2 small pancakes and spicy french fries. Here is the kicker. When you get the bill, the tip suggestion starts at 20%. And here is where I get picky. When you suggest at tip, you suggest it on the price of the meal. Not the meal + tax. For the average patron, they may not notice this, but this restaurant is taking advantage of their upscale ambiance and suggestion a 20% tip on the 9.88% sales tax! It's hard enough to make money in this economy for most, and I agree that perhaps food prices are higher for restaurants, but come on. This place seems to be overhyped with a 4 star rating.

Certainly pricey for Asian food, but believe it was worth the $ - service was VERY attentive + friendly (water filled all the time) and ambiance felt clean. THE FOOD (most to least favorite) - tea smoked duck $33; good, very meaty - rice cakes with chicken $28: good, lots of wok flavor - broccoli chicken $20: good standard fare - braised beef soup $18: ok, not as flavorful as other broths - mango sago $10: eh, have had better - rice cake dessert $20: eh, too sweet but serves many Overall great dinner, would come back and try the plethora of other specialty dishes they have here including fresh fish and lots of soup/stews

My go to restaurant for a great night out. Beautiful setting inside. The service is always amazing. The portions are set to feed atleast three. The must tries is the pork mushu, the surf clams with noodles and smoked duck

It was my first time here and I really enjoyed all of the dishes I ordered. We came on a weekday and we were seated immediately. The interior is spacious with high ceilings. The half tea-smoked duck was delicious and savory. The beef noodle soup had tender meat and chewy noodles. The yelping Chongqing spicy chicken was beautifully presented and perfectly crispy. We ordered one of their specials which was great too. Service was surprisingly slow since there weren't many customers at the time, but everyone was friendly. I will definitely be back!

we went on christmas night and the restaurant was quite frankly overwhelmed. we had a 545 pm reservation and the next available at the time of booking was past 8 pm, so you get an idea of how busy the 6-730 pm area was gonna be. it did take an hour from being seated to get our first course, which was hot and sour soup. there was a long line of to-go orders via doordash/ubereats/grubhub and phone-in orders that was also complicating matters, but the staff should be credited with handling it with grace even though everything took much longer than what i imagine is usual. communication was pretty poor, to be fair, however, and that's the only reason i would ding them one star. they should have told us they were running behind and set expectations accordingly. they did not. that said, the food was fantastic. we had the orange chicken, mapo topu, some kind of prawn dish (they have several), the dry braised string beans, hot and sour soup and a mixed fried rice. everything was amazing in taste and the portions were very generous. price wasn't the cheapest, but they also as expensive as, say, tai pan in palo alto. food, however, is very comparable. i will be back and hopefully will get the amazing service i have read about in other reviews so i can revise the rating to what i expect to be five stars.

Have you ever read a Yelp review that conveys reasonable information but has so many exclamation marks or capital letters that it distracts away from the words? The content is ruined because it is drowned out by overusing something that should have been used sparingly. That is the best analogy I have for this restaurant. My wife and I showed up at 7:15pm on a Friday night after deciding against another restaurant due to the crowd of people waiting for a table. When we arrived at The Mandarin, this restaurant had no wait and no crowd. Now, I know why. Eating the Ma Pao Tofu felt less like eating and more like stabbing myself in the gums with a steak knife. Look, I understand a lot of Asian foods are spicy. That's fine. But this was barely food. It was just a large puddle of hot oil with some tofu in it. If that sounds appetizing to you, then by all means give them a shot!

large serving portions! place was pretty empty throughout meal service (~6pm), however service was great, with frequent water refills throughout & packing of our leftovers all the dishes we had were really nice. particularly like, the special taro & duck item we got. never had anything like it, so highly recommend. would recommend this place to others.

The best Ma Po Tofu I've ever had is here. Comes with plenty of sauce and flavor to share with other dishes. Honey walnut shrimp looks drastically different from other locations but is extra crispy. When asking for togo, they will package and bag your food for you. Overall, entire restaurant was very nice to sit in with modern furniture.

We had a big takeout order. WATCH OUT FOR THE SPICE! We ordered 3 dishes that were so chili-hot we couldn't eat them; Kung-Pao chicken, Ma Pao Tofu and Fish with Spicy Bean Sauce. (We were at least warned on the last one!). There is no indication on the menu about any degree of spiciness, and I definitely did not expect that from the Ma Po Tofu, although I now see a few Yelp reviews with the same warning for that dish. The non-spicy things were OK- B+. Dry Braised Green Beans were fine, and Mu Shu Shrimp was decent. And vegetable fried rice was standard fare. But we unfortunately had to leave 60% of the meal uneaten. If you need fire to get you going, then this is your place. And if you don't, probably asking about almost any dish with a chance of chili would enable them to tone it down or you to just avoid it.

We have never had a negative experience here! The servers are always nice and willing to explain what items are. The owner has been around for most of our visits he's very kind and genuinely wants to know how your food is and remembers faces well which makes the service nicer too. As someone who doesn't love spicy food, before ordering something new I always ask about spice levels and the staffs ratings have always been helpful when ordering! The serving sizes make sharing easy and it reheats well too! We bring all our guests out to the mandarin and it's a hit every time! I only wish we lived closer.

My friends and I ordered here for the first time and we loved it! Food was delivered fast and packaged well. No leaks or anything. Provided all the sauce needed as well. My friends ordered dishes such as chow mein, fried rice, and broccoli beef. It was actually really good. Not as greasy and it was done right! I ordered the sichuan dan-dan noodles and I loved it! I love they gave the chili oil on the side and was able to pour it in to mix it well. It was so delicious! I wish I was able to try their noodle soup or look into the menu more but ordered it last minute. I would definitely order other items from there though!

This is the best Chinese ever. It is Mandarin with a touch szechuan. Extensive authentic Chinese dishes (rooster? Geo duck meat?) and Chinese American favorites. Prompt attentive service and attention to specific requests. Sweet and sour soup not to be missed. Modern and attractive decor.

The best Chinese food in South Bay. It's pricey but you get what you pay for! The rib and corn soup in particular is to die for!

It's quite different than I was use to when it comes to Chinese food. I had the pot stickers and the won ton soup. They were both ok but not phenomenal. I would like to go back though and try different dishes. I do get the feeling they might have the potential to be good.

I am a regular at this family friendly restaurant. I always get the potstickers. Right when I walk into the door they already know. The staff is friendly. The food is delicious and big sizes. Must try.

The best Chinese restaurant in Peninsula! And the only restaurant has truffles the entire year! The best ingredient possible, 琵琶鸭possibly the best dish in Chinese culture! cauliflower with cured pork, OMG, so fresh, so flavorful! Scramble egg with black truffle, possibly the best!

I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the service and food here. Every dish I tried was expertly crafted--overall some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. I order the (amazing) potstickers, Mushu, and shrimp lo mein. All excellent! Also ordered something I can't find in many places: steamed cold ginger chicken. Guess they're not used to a white boy ordering it, as they asked if I had been to China (no, but my wife is Chinese). Even the manager came out to talk to me, amazed that I liked this particular dish that isn't always on the menu. And the presentation was world-class--an Asian guy at the next table saw it, stood up and came over, and exclaimed, "WOOOW!!" I saw many other dishes that looked fantastic. But be warned--they aren't cheap. You get what you pay for, but here it's one of those rare cases where it's totally worth it!

Wow, what an incredible find. The quality of food was superb. The textures and layers of flavor were outstanding. This is a place to definitely put on your go-to regularly list. Highly recommended. Julie, our server, was so kind to explain various dishes. She suggested a wonderful dessert that really complemented our meal and added so much to another wise tremendous dining experience.

This place is nice. It used to be Black Pepper but the interior is basically the same as it was before. It has very high ceilings inside and feels very spacious. I would say it would make a good setting for a date or for a small to medium dinner party. When we came here for dinner, we saw a lot of Asian families and couples dining here. That is usually a good sign that the food here must be pretty legitimate. I liked the Sizzling Beef with Chili Grilled in Stone Bowl. The bowl came out and we saw the waiter pour the soup in. The dish overall had a nice Szechuan feel to it with the spicy and numbing soup. I've never seen this type of dish where the meat was basically swimming in soup but it wasn't quite a soup. The Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce was decent. I generally find this dish to be a bit on the sweeter side and this was no exception. Service was good. The waiter spoke Mandarin to me even though I initially spoke in English because I'm lazy. I eventually switched to Mandarin because I was feeling awkward. I'm sure their English is fine though.

Always excellent northern Chinese cuisine!! Especially great hot and sour soup!! Also amazing Mongolian beef and walnut prawns don't miss it 5 stars

Food and service are great! My go to spot for bbq pork chow mein. The beef broccoli and sweet and sour pork are also on my favorite list.

This review is based on take out. Ordering was very easy through YELP's GrubHub. Upon arrival, two hosts asked me for my name and pick up order. Once my name was clarified, my order was easy to pick up. Items were all packaged nicely though i did need to reheat both salt & pepper tofu and asparagus in the toaster oven to get crisp back into these particularly items. The chow mein had noodles the way i like it with adequate amount of vegetables. The food overall was good with base flavor. I'll look forward to trying other items at The Mandarin.

**3.5 Stars** For fans of Black Pepper in Menlo Park (from the owners of the popular Banana Leaf in Milpitas), the former space is now the newly opened The Mandarin. I stopped by for a visit to the "pan-Asian" restaurant after a write up in the SF Chronicle and Palo Alto online. I've always liked the large, two level space but it's a very large space to fill and the menu while emphasizing "pan-Asian" cuisine is very similar to Z&Y (SF) where the head chef is from. I like Sichuan so tried many of the restaurant recommendations including mouth watering chicken, tea smoked duck and boiled whole fish. Flavors are authentic and portion size is solid. Unfortunately, what may hurt the restaurant most is similar to what happened to Black Pepper; the elevated price point and "Peninsula tax." Whole Boiled fish at Z&Y is $42, here at The Mandarin it is $68, a 50% price premium. We also were recommended way too much food for two, but were trying to support a new business. Our order: Mouth Watering Chicken $16 Boiled Whole Fish $68 Chinese Tea Smoked Duck 1/2 $26 Garlic pea shoots $22 The Mandarin accepts credit cards including American Express.

The Mandarin is incredible! Dare I say the best Chinese food in the bay area. The location is unassuming but the food is sooo good. Every dish I've tried is next level. The owner is always so kind as well, striking up conversation with us. Thank you for the extra scallion pancakes!! I loveeee the food here

Super delicious Chinese/Sichuan food, though it can take pretty long for food to get to the table. We ordered the hot & sour soup, heartbroken cold noodles, half duck, kung pao chicken, string beans and tofu with bok choy/mushrooms. Standout dishes: hot & soup - super peppery and flavorful; duck - sooo much meat and great smokey flavor; tofu - really well fried and the bok choy/mushrooms were a great complement! Service was generally really friendly and attentive but food was super slow to come out - we waited a solid 30 minutes for our last 4 dishes (after the cold dish/soup). Hoping it's just temporary from the general food worker shortage! Would come back again whenever I'm craving spicy Chinese food!

Was seeking for a meal that was not just delicious and also nourishes the soul and I am so happy we gave the mandarin a chance and came in. First our amazing server is Nee and he might be the manager as well and knows the menu like the back of his hand and was courteous and attentive to us. The whole steamed fish (black bass) he recommended brought me back to my childhood and it was so tender and delicious we finished it all in one seating. The smoked duck is delicious and a must try. But to be honest; everything was a pleasant surprise and I am looking forward to make a return visit soon!

Saw this place on Yelp and wanted to give it a try, ordered to go. My husband called in our order, at first it was an answering machine then a worker picked up. Told us it would be take 25 mins and asked us for our phone number. What we ordered: Golden Prawns $22 Sichuan Beef Noodles $14 Woodear Mushrooms with Japanese Mountain Yam $22 We found street parking since another car just left. When we arrived we waited a few minutes before we were helped, since they were busy with a big table upstairs. I like the wall decorations, and it looked pretty spacious a few people were dining in. The worker was friendly and we told him our phone number for our order. He told us it would be a few more minutes they were packing it up. We waited a few more minutes, and then they asked us if we wanted any water while we waited. The to go bags are sturdy and they mentioned that they left the Golden Prawns half open so it wouldn't be soggy. They also mentioned that they threw in some free Egg Rolls normally it's $10. The Golden Prawns had really good flavor but we were a bit disappointed in the presentation and also that it was a bit difficult to get the shells off. The fruit that came with it had some sort of mayo sauce on it. Definitely would have stayed crunchy if it was dine in. The Sichuan Beef Noodles tasted fresh and spicy, the beef that came with it was good and tender. It came with sour veggie. The Woodear Mushrooms with Japanese Mountain Yam had good flavor and it was tender. Egg Rolls tasted alright but since it was to go they were not crunchy anymore. I liked the 2 sauces it came with the sweet and sour/spicy yellow mustard. Overall I would say the food tasted good and flavorful also the staff is very friendly but it's best to dine in to get the presentation and having the food that is suppose to be crunchy stay crunchy. Next time we will dine in instead!

Overpriced Chinese food. Nice place and staff. The food portions are small and the food we ordered was just okay

Our experience here was awful The food was heavy and greasy and truly difficult to eat While the staff tried to make our experience pleasant, there was no way to overcome the poor quality of the culinary offerings

Really love the food, the service was amazing really loved how welcoming they were. I really loved the chow mein and fried rice 100% recommended

The service was exceptional. We had a family style kung pao shrimp as a meal and tofu as an appetizer. It eas fantastic.

Came here three times and each time we ordered different dishes. So far it's not disappointing at all! Services was very nice the first and second time there but not really for the last time (the manager wasn't present that time, but he usually would chat with the customer and seems really friendly). I'd recommend this place for ppl visiting this area who wanna try authentic Chinese cuisine!

Thought it's American Chinese, or more southern Chinese style food, and it turned out to be a huge surprise!!!! What a gem! The inside was clean and quite spacious, the chongqing spicy chicken was so so good! The presentation of the dish was the same with what I got when I was back in China. The chicken was so crispy and crumbly outside, also well seasoned. The sesame pancake was so fluffy and layered, omg, getting homesick here. Overall I would strongly recommend you try this place. It also has really nice service!

still fabulous and the service is impeccable. There are a ton of repeat customers which tells you what you need to know. regional classic at this point.

Freshly prepared Chinese food with authentic cooking style, preparation, and spices. We didn't go too far in the menu as our stomachs were still settling from Sichuan the day before.

Zero customer service. The waiter never came back after bringing only half our meal. No one checked on us, but the table next to us got 5 star service. Never felt so disrespected in a restaurant.

Excellent food! Great service. Centrally located so it's a good meeting spot for friends from various locales. Spicy, so be mindful. Clean!

- Heart-Broken Noodles // The sauce was super spicy but tasted amazing! The noodles are supposed to be cold and combined with the sauce it was really refreshing! I will say the noodles were a little too soft. - Beef-Wrapped in Green Onion Pancake // The pancake was a little bit crispy (I thought it could be a little crispier) It still tasted great nonetheless especially with the sauce inside (hoisin sauce I believe) - Sichuan Dan-Dan Noodles // This was amazing! It was the perfect amount of spice/numbing and the noodles were cooked great. - Braised Beef Noodle Soup // The noodles were too soft and the beef was a bit dry. The soup was pretty good but I've definitely had much better beef noodle soup. - Beef Tendon // The beef tendon was not good at all. It was under cooked so it was very hard and hard to eat - - - I would also like to add that the service here was very mediocre. The server gave us a bunch of weird looks because we didn't go with his suggestion and got a little mad when we said we weren't ready to order yet. I would highly recommend this place if you like spicy food because the Heart-Broken Noodles and Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles were very tasty!

I have always wanted to try this place. The ambiance is not the typical Chinese restaurant. It looks clean, and the server engaged and would share the day's special dish with you. We tried 3 dishes, tomato noodles, taro duck, and spicy Szechuan chicken. They are good, would recommend this for friends and family.

Randomly stumbled upon this lovely restaurant. At first, assumed it was a not authentic Chinese restaurant, more on the westernized fusion taste. However, all the dishes were delicious and spot on with the authentic spices. Recommend eggplant spicy sauce! My favorite so far. Everything else is as good tbh. So try 'em out and you will not disappointed. Food 10/10 Service 10/10

Menu prices are not aligned and clear. I was overcharged for a takeout order and host provided different price than I was charged. Will never be returning here and do not recommend. Way too overpriced for the quality of food, not surprised that the restaurant was empty upon arrival. Would give 0 stars if possible.

Couple of my buddies and I tried this restaurant because we were craving for some Chinese food. We've never tried this place, but decided to stop in to see how it was. We were quite surprised at the great service and the tasty food. The Chinese food is very authentic as well and very spicy so if you're like me I usually ask for mild, which is fine. I love the quick and friendly service and even the owner of the restaurant, Ni, came by to say hello and talk with us. I definitely recommend this place and we will be going back again. They also have a big room upstairs if you want to have a private party.

I won't recommend this place to anyone it's bcoz too expensive, i stop by for a quick chow mein combination to go and it cost me 61$ , yes I can't believe it I should have not take it and refuse it instead but ended up paying for it anyway,,, so I walk out w 61$ freaking chow mein it almost cost me more than Son and Garden for three people ( I spent 114$ for lunch on Son and Garden) on the same day yes go figure it out

Saw this place while in town. We got the rice noodle and scallion pancakes for appetizers, got 2 different types of crabs and sweet and sour for main dishes. I liked both of the appetizers we got and my favorite dish was the sweet and sour fish, it's a must!
