Reviews for Mandarin Palace Restaurant / Lounge in Portland, OR

Love this place. The only place I know to make your own combo and you don't have to have rice as one of the options. Lots to... choose from and genuinely good any night of the week. The only thing is that there is a bar attached that does karaoke. Whileit's fine and not too overbearing it can be loud at times when trying to dine. 8pm Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday, are the starttimes for karaoke, so plan accordingly. Special shout out to the waitress that remembers our order, and who we are, even thoughwe hadn't seen her in almost a year. Read more

Food from them has always been top notch! Whether I order grub hub or pick up or dine in. I decided to do a pick up so they get... all their profit and omg! She gave me a handmade rose( or 2). So awesome! Love this place. Read more

Super disappointed. Spent over $100 on food, and they didn't bother to include any sweet and sour sauce for a large order of S&S... chicken. Also no sauce for fried dumplings. Read more

I really enjoyed my initial visit and plan to stop in again. The host was very nice and happily showed me to the lounge and... explained how to get outside to the smoking area. I went to the bar, where I was greeted and served with a friendly smile andcourteousness. The bartender checked on me regularly and was happy to serve food at the bar. The outdoor terrace was nicelysized and pleasant. The evening featured (shudder!) karaoke but much to my relief and surprise, the participants were quite goodand the volume was well within acceptable bounds. For once I did not have to cover my bleeding ears while hastily fleeing thehorrors of karaoke!! How delightful! Drinks were good, promptly prepared and delivered, and nicely affordable. The bar has anice selection of brands but perhaps needs to augment it's supply or choices in the rum category. It was astonishing to not findthe makings for that Chinese restaurant staple: the Mai Tai! The bartender did a GREAT job of cobbling together an acceptablesubstitution, but he should not have been put in that position to begin with. As for food, I only had the potstickers but theywere beautifully prepared and presented and I will definitely order them on a regular basis. Very nice indeed! Overall, a verypleasant time was had and I will definitely return. I can see why the place was filling up as I was heading out. Read more

Drinks are overpriced for the quality of service they have.The blond female bartender lacks hygiene, and acts so paranoid and... defensive toward customers. Yet the owners never care about their staff being clean or appropriate Read more

Friendly staff and was honest to inform me that they serve American Chinese food, not authentic Chinese cuisine. Tried twice and... were enough to conclude my quest for wanting more real Chinese flavored dishes. Won't be back. Read more

I was hyped up to eat here. Just like a book cover don't believe everything you hear and or read. The Mar Far chicken was... disappointing as well as the egg rolls.. the vegetable dishes were ok. Everything had a lack of flavor aside from the egg dropsoup. If you have low blood pressure or don't have problems with sodium, have at it. We ended up throwing out the soup. It wasunfortunately inedible. We'll try the food again to see if there's a trend or not. An update will be posted after our nextvisit. On a side note, the bar is a classic throw back to the 70's. If you're in to that it was awesome! Friendlylocals/regulars welcomed us to the bar. We will be back for the drinks for sure! Read more
