Mandarin House

"I went to eat there yesterday at 830pm, we ordered the food from there and barely ate since it was closing time. I unbox the food in the same package from mandarin house, after a few bites I notice a long jet black hair in my food with the follicle still attached, I have a shaved head, it was revolting! I called them and first they seemed like they would handle the issue, but they called back and said there was nothing they could do, am grossed out and won’t be eating there again. The waiter was nice though, management unprofessional."

"I came here with a few friends during happy hour mid-week. The happy hour deals are pretty incredible, and the food was delicious. We were sat right away, and even as the restaurant filled up, the service was still very attentive. We ordered the chicken wings, cashew chicken, orange beef, and bbq pork lo mein. My favorite was the beef, but everything was so good. Portions are generous. I will certainly be coming back!"

"Love this place! I order take out from here all the time so I decided to have my office holiday party at Mandarin. It worked out so well, Nelson and the staff were extremely accommodating. We had a private room in the back, it was extremely comfortable and everyone loved it. The food was fantastic and it was the perfect amount. Thanks for getting it all done!"

"From the moment we stepped into Mandarin House in Bird Rock, La Jolla, we knew we were in for a culinary treat. The cozy and welcoming ambiance set the stage for what was an unforgettable dining experience. We started with the Salt and Pepper Wings and Fried Dumplings. The wings were a perfect blend of crispy and savory, with just the right amount of seasoning to tickle the taste buds. The dumplings were a delightful surprise, golden and crisp on the outside, with a succulent filling that melted in the mouth. The Crispy Duck was a showstopper, cooked to perfection with a crispy skin that gave way to tender, flavorful meat. But the real star of the evening was the Upside-Down Pan Fried Noodles. This dish was a masterful display of textures and flavors, combining perfectly cooked noodles with a mix of savory sauces and fresh ingredients. The service was nothing short of amazing. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, the server made us feel like honored guests, ensuring that every aspect of our meal was perfect. In summary, Mandarin House is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary journey that delights the senses. Whether you're a local or just passing through Bird Rock, this is a dining experience you don't want to miss. We left with satisfied palates and the promise to ourselves to return soon."

"The Mandarin House has delicious food. The 1st night our server was professional and attentive. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The last night, I ate here alone and instead of getting a table, I told the server I would sit at the bar to avoid taking up a table. The restaurant was very packed. The owner was my server at the bar and he didn't have a service type of personality. I almost left like I was bothering him. He turned my previously good experience into a bad one."
