I recently dined at Old Mandarin with my wife, expecting a pleasant evening filled with authentic Chinese cuisine. Unfortunately, our experience left much to be desired and was marred by an unwelcoming atmosphere, small portions, and a sense of being rushed.Upon entering the restaurant, we couldn't help but notice the owner's intimidating presence. They seemed to be watching us and other customers closely, creating a discomforting and uneasy atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy our meal. The continuous scrutiny made us feel like we were unwelcome and under constant surveillance.The food itself was underwhelming. While the flavors were relatively decent, the portion sizes were noticeabl...
Was excited to revisit this spot after trying it once, years ago, but that was a mistake...#118 eggplant in dark brown sauce was disappointing it was just salty, very soy sauce esque as one of my dining buddies put it, and a little spicy. It could 've been so much better.#32 pan fried seafood bun was also disappointing the thickness of the bun varied drastically which affected how well done the dough was. But that didn 't really matter because the dough was dense and dry and overcooked. The bottom of some of them were so hard, like a cracker, but a much thicker.#70 flour ball (gnocchi) with beef was not good. We had no idea what to expect, which is why we wanted to try it. The flour balls we...
Can't believe we discovered this place! Yes, the place was a little noisy (kitchen is right behind the dining area), our server wasnt the friendliest, but the food was finger licking good!!!! Thats how I always know for a fact that we're going to get something super authentic and not Americanized! We ordered the Schezwan chicken, garlic sauce eggplant and cumin lamb. We inhaled the food in seconds and even considered going for second servings. Not giving 5 stars because they were charging us 2$ for like half a cup of rice. As an Asian, that almost feels like highway robbery but we were willing to pay up because the food was just that good!
The beef was really good, as was the soup. The pot stickers were just that I guess. The chow mein was good but the prawns were below average (the dish didn't do much for me. Left most of it and ate the prawns haha). The guy at the counter was rudish/in a hurry when we arrived (8.20pm) but then grew warm as we sat and ate.

Had some good dishes and some that were ok. I really liked the Mongolian lamb and the pancake. The eggplant was a little chewy and the stir fried beef was a little under salted but nice family owned restaurant with quick service and pretty decent food. Come try this local place out if you haven’t already
This is the best Chinese restaurant I've ever tested in USA. The beef and noodles are very tasty ! I have no words to describe how dumplings are good ! I recommend you to come and eat in this restaurant ! And this is 100% halal !
Very good taste. We had hotpot, the lamb is delicious but only 7 pieces per plate. The last we had fried Chinese mochi. That is the best mochi I ever had. There is long line for table and take out.
Halal hot pot and food amazing experience super delicious food. I really loved the sweet and sour chicken. Also very friendly staff. Certainly a great place to eat and try new food!!Food: 4/5
