Mandarin Garden

Yummy food and a lot to take home too. Great customer service. Wendy was amazing . Will definitely go again

We ordered 2 A dinners and 2 B dinners. You pay per person ($20 and $24 respectively) and you get an egg roll, paper wrapped chicken and a beef skewer with a little ornamental metal crock and flame to cook them on. The kids enjoyed that and it was nice for the ambiance. There was a hot pot of jasmine tea and mein gon with sweet and sour and hot mustard. The soups came right away. We had the house egg flower with the A dinners and war wonton with the B dinners. We chose the Buddha feast, Mongolian beef, orange chicken, and bbq pork egg foo young. It came with fried rice and was served family style. The owner came out with a plate of soft roasted beef that had a ginger flavor and included it with no additional fee. We were pleased with the food and service. Derek was attentive to our drinks and helped clear the many plates to make room for new courses. There was quite a bit of food left over and we were offered boxes and took it to go. There aren't many choices on the mountain for different food (it's mostly America and Mexican restaurants up here) and we appreciated the ability to have any Asian fare without a long drive. We will visit and recommend.

Very delicious authentic Chinese food!! Wonderful customer service and nice family oriented vibe. The people who own it are funny and light-hearted people. Definitely recommend. Love the experience. I hope to come back.

I rarely rate restaurants, and usually don’t try new things, but it smelled amazing. The owners were so polite, the food was exceptional, the atmosphere was beautiful. Service was excellent, they really treated customers properly. Truly a hidden gem of Arrowhead.

This was our first time here. Wow. So friendly. Buoyant atmosphere and very family friendly. I would recommend this place hands down any time and all the time. We are from the high desert and soaked in this amazing vibe. Oh, the food was spot on and totally perfect. Maggie is the ultimate best ever! There is now no pressure on her when you ask for her.

cute little authentic chinese cuisine 5 mins away from lake arrowhead village!

we had:
wonton soup
steamed wontons
fried rice

the servers were so nice, especially the man with the chinese wife!! he was adorably delightful

Ive ordered many times before for work events and personal but my daughter and i finally went in and sat down and we were not disappointed. Our server was an absolute sweetheart and the skewers were so much fun on its own little grill. My kid keeps bugging to go back and we cant wait to.

We just happened to stumbled on this place and wow. We ordered take out and we came early and the whole family that owns this place is adorable! But had the food (waited to leave this review) and not only are they kind but the fooooood!!!! So fresh so delicious so authentic ! We ordered a lot so a big variety of foods and can’t complain one bit!

Thank you!

I recommend this place, we have been going here for 3 years it’s out favorite place to get reasonably priced food and great service every time!

Had some incredible tasting food, that they were able to customize to my exact liking. Also Wendy was insanely helpful when it came to ordering and was super fun. She even sang me a song at the end of my meal!

Yummy and the staff are so sweet. It's nice to have a restaurant on the mountain that actually stays with us! So many come and go but this one has been there for as long as I know.

The service here is great and the food is tasty too. We rolled in on a Thursday at 8:20 pm to dine in, I was a little nervous since we were cutting it close to 9 pm closing time but all was good! We were warmly greeted by Wendy who shared some food suggestions. The food came out quickly and we are happy campers, literally out here campig ⛺ oh, and the cherry on top was the couple’s love song serenade we received from Wendy. Thank you, Wendy!

Great little find. We were up for the weekend and hadn't brought anything but sweat pants so fancy dining was out. Were looking at Google maps to see what's around and saw this. Great food and the cutest family running the place, so friendly!

As someone lives on and needs good Chinese food to survive, I was pleasantly surprised to find this establishment while searching for a late dinner. The food tastes authentic, great bang for your buck, and the decor is so unique and homey! As I waited for my order, I really enjoyed looking around at all their family
Photos on the wall—which really made me feel like I was in their home. We ordered the combo lo mein and the fried rice, both tastes just like what my family makes at home! The beef and broccoli was saucy with a good ratio of beef to broccoli, just like how I like it! They also had my favorite almond cookies, which takes me back to my childhood. I would definitely return, and recommend to all who visit the area!

Everytime I've been there, excellent! Family owned restaurant.

Solid Chinese food. Owner is always very friendly. If you ask them to steer you towards more authentic/spicier options, they’re happy to do so. It’s not as good as some of the places in the valley but it’s a solid neighborhood Chinese spot when it’s what you’re craving. Crepes with spicy brisket were phenomenal.

DELICIOUS! Some of the best wonton soup I’ve ever had. Amazing family, the daughter sings for you and has an incredible voice, which just adds to the feeling of being part of the family while you’re there. The prices were VERY reasonable, especially for how delicious everything is! They are a small family-owned business. Everything is made with care and quality. Highly recommend!

This place was amazing!!!!! The owner and waiter were sooo kind! The Wonton soup was heaven. Recommend it.

We love coming here! It's about a 25 minute drive, but it's totally worth it
Everyone there, like Wendy and Darren and Maggie, are so friendly and we really enjoy them. But the food is the star of the show: made fresh and always delicious!

Fantastic food, fabulous atmosphere, and even better service. They are great and full of enthusiasm. It is absolutely incredible; I would even go as far as saying that I would drive an hour and a half to eat here. 😀
