Reviews for Mandarin Gourmet Restaurant ??? in San Jose, CA

2 waiters on the lunch crowd. Ling wait. Food average. Overpriced. Waiter argued about the sizes of containers to go at the end... of our meal. Good way to cut your tip in half! Never again. Rude staff. Read more

We love this restaurant, and they are usually very accommodating with gluten-free options, but when I tried to call and order... take out they were extremely rude and short when I asked for gluten-free options. I know that they have the ingredients forgluten-free, we order the same things every time... The lady on the phone was very quick to cut me off and hang up as well. Weare very sad because like I said the food here is amazing and usually the service is as well. But now we will think twice andwill probably go elsewhere. Read more

This place probable changed ownership and it went from great to average-below average. They charge for hot sauce now, which I... thought was lame. It?s also a bit overpriced now. Read more

Very good Chinese food. Excellent honey walnut prawns. Welcome here at least once a week for the lunch special. It comes with... fried wonton, soup, salad and you choice of dish with rice. Love it. Read more

All of the food was great. Service was great too. Had the chicken salad, honey walnut prawns, mushu pork, Mongolian beef, lemon... chicken, and wonton soup. Awesome meal. Read more

Taste of food is pretty good, but service is really bad. Waiter semi-yells at you when you ask questions about the menu items.... They don't make any changes or substitutions - e.g. soft tofu instead of fried tofu. THEY CHARGE FOR HOT SAUCE - $1 tiny littleserving. There is no soy sauce on the table. Tea is free but they won't serve it to you unless you ask for. Meanwhile, theplates cost about $18-20/dish incl tax. At some point, no matter how good the food is (it's good, but not amazing), if theservice isn't there, it's not worth it. Bummed because it used to be one of my go-to's growing up, but no longer.

I selected the Special A on the menu: it came with choice of soup, appetizers, and an entree. The appetizer was an egg roll, one... fried shrimp, and soup was the Wonton soup. It was fulfilling but nothing spectacular. The shrimp had a pasty taste I didn'tcare for but the egg roll stole the show. It was crispy and delicious. For my entree: I had the Mandarian Chow Mein with a sideof fried rice. It was good. Some of my noodles were burnt but it didn't take away from the flavor of it. They giving you largequantities of food. I ate 1/4 and had to get the rest to go. It was a decent meal for $30 bucks. I'll go again to try somethingdifferent Read more

Love this restaurant sometimes they have there off days.. today was one of those days?. Opened at 11 but when we arrived... cleaners where still mopping floors . The cleaning lady greeted us with a smile. The manager looked upset when she seen us andquickly turned around and told the lady not to leave the door open next time because people can walk in..she waved her hand atthe lady and said just hurry up! She turned then turned to us and said give me a min they are still cleaning. So we waited 5 minand then she sat us. Wonton strips where cold and not crunchy like they usually are. Salad was ok (I?m usually obsessed with thesalad I can eat mine plus my daughters ) my food was good I ordered the Mongolian beef w/fried rice My grandma ordered a shrimpdish ?? shrimp still had poop in its tail. We told the waiter and he just looked at it and mumbled something very low took theplate and walked away?.very odd. A apology would of been nice. I think it?s safe to say Grandma isn?t going to want to eat hereagain. Read more
