It's always been a solid take out choice. No fuse or fancy- just American style take out Chinese how you expect it.

This is my second time getting takeout at Mandarin and it continues to never disappoint. I usually get the general tso's chicken which has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The chicken is cooked perfectly and not mushy. The veggie lo mein is always good and the crab Rangoons are always crispy and fresh. I've had other items before like their pan fried dumplings and this place is the best for fresh Chinese food in the east Somerville area (not greasy!!). I've never had to wait for my food when I go to pick it up. The inside is nothing to rave about which is why a majority of their orders are takeout. I highly recommend Mandarin for a fresh classic Chinese meal!

Good, reliable, Americanized Chinese food. The portions are also plenty-- usually I end up getting 2-3 meals out of it. The service is also fast and reliable (at least when ordering pick-up). Would recommend.

A no-nonsense Chinese takeaway place. I ordered a large Vegetable Lo Mein. I was not disappointed at all. Great taste, and good quantity.

Love this hole in the wall quality Chinese restaurant!! I've been a loyal mandarin supporter since 2019 when I moved down the street from union square. Consistent with the quality and always delicious. Salt and pepper shrimp, general chicken and tofu are delicious, and the appetizers for the portions like crab Rangoon are so worthwhile. Great fried rice and ask for their spicy oil sauce if you like some heat!!

I loved the food, it was very tasty. I was a little apprehensive when I saw the inside of restaurant but I was doing takeout and it was great. Way way better than Panda express and much more reasonably priced and the amount of food was terrific. I had enough food left over for another meal. I'm going back tomorrow. You should give them a try, you won't regret it. Michael Murray

The food is great, best crab rangoons around! However their delivery driver ignores delivery instructions EVERY time which is quite frustrating. Not enough to make me stop ordering from here though

Good food, good portions, good price; delivery driver can be quite rude.I'd easily give Mandarin Chinese Restaurant 4+ stars for their food. They serve your standard American-Chinese staples and I'd definitely rate them above average in this category. The portions are generous and their prices are very reasonable. The only reason I wouldn't rate their food at 5 stars is because I had one order of beef teriyaki (out of two) which tasted a bit sour, likely from being too old.I ordered both the General Tso and Sesame Chicken, and the dishes were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with a well-balanced sauce that was the right amount of sweet, sour and salty.The reason for dropping Mandarin Chinese Restaurant to 3 stars is because of one of the delivery drivers who was rude:Long story short, I ordered through Grubhub and requested the driver text me upon arrival. I request to be texted as my phone automatically blocks calls from phone numbers that are not on my contacts list. I do this so I don't get bothered by spam and marketing callers that can ping me up to a dozen times a day.Instead, the driver spammed my doorbell (as in they pressed in maybe 5-7 times within a 5 second time frame). When I came out, he shined his flashlight right into my eyes like a movie interrogation scene and started yelling at me about how I need to answer my phone. I looked at my phone and saw 0 text messages, and asked if he texted me. He then repeatedly told me that I need to answer my phone, to which I repeatedly asked back whether he texted me as I had requested. We did this about a half dozen times before finally relented that he did not text me, handed my food and walked away.I looked at some of the other reviews on Grubhub, and it looks like the common thread is that the delivery driver can get quite cranky if there is any complexity to the delivery order, whether the drop off point is out of the way or you want to be contacted a particular way. It seems that if you have an easy address to deliver to, and can pick up the phone when he calls, this probably won't be an issue. However, anything outside that approach and the delivery driver may give you a piece of his mind.
