Not a fan of the taste of my orders. Spicy tofu had a red oily sauce, can't seem to taste the spicyness at all. Chef Special Pan Fried Noodles, lots of veggies, chicken, and thick noodles, very large portion, not particularly special. I came for takeout after 9pm, the outside is dark and quiet, and I had not been to this side of Portland--would watch your surroundings. Friendly service, though I was sure that my phone-in order was taken (told ready in 15min) but they won't cook the food until I show up due to possibility that I am a no show. I arrived in 15min. Then, I had to wait 10 minutes for the food.

Weekend lunch but minimal expected service was lacking.Thick chew with the soup Dumplings but soup was cold. Salty eggplant was mostly string beans bed.Parking is not free despite what other reviews say.

One of Portland's old gems in china town me and my gf came here after a concert. It's very small and homey the service was great and the food was really good from the dumplings to the chow mein we were fans of it all. If you go make sure to do it during the day tho since it's in a sketchy part of town that's our only regret lol.

Just wanted to provide an update. I haven't ordered from Mandarin House in quite some time, but I've been seriously craving Chinese food. I tried to order some new stuff from the menu.- Lemon Chicken: Nothing really stood out. Just lemony and slightly sweet chicken.- Two Eats Flavored In Scallion: MY FAVORITE!!! I love Mongolian Beef and this is similar except it has chicken AND beef!!!- BBQ Pork Bao (staple): Now only include 3 bao instead of 4 ::insert sad face::- Onion Pancake: STELLAR. I cannot recall if I've ordered the onion pancakes from Mandarin House before. Regardless, this item will for sure become a staple.- House Special Fried Rice: Solid.I was sad to not find the Beef Pancakes on the Postmates menu anymore.Summary: DO NOT sleep on Mandarin House. Solid Chinese food at a good price with ample portions.

Stopped in yesterday for dinner after The Oregon Symphony and the food was fabulous. I have been eating here since I was a teen in the mid-90's and feared they had closed as the last time we walked to Chinatown and the surrounding area after the symphony they were closed and A LOT of the restaurants were closed to had left. We really wanted Chinese so we decided to walk to the same area again in hopes of some re-opening and Mandarin House was open! I love the ambiance of the glass ceiling, always have, and of course the food. We ordered Cumin Beef and Shredded Pork with Peppers with a spice level of 3 and it was perfect. We enjoy spicy food and most places we tell them to cook it to the maximum level of heat and it comes out "American spicy" not hot at all, this place is the real deal. Neither dish was fried, both had complex, delicate flavors even with heat, rice was perfect and we have BBQ Pork for an appetizer and it was delectable. I think it was house made and not the premade stuff a lot of places just order in and slice up. The sweet sauce drizzled on top of the pork was divine. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and lunch the day after. Service was excellent and the owner was kind and gave us some additional rice for our take home boxes. We will be back and I hope Mandarin House is around for another 30 years!!

One of the oldest Chinese restaurants in Portland. They're still here for reason, and it's to bring authentic Chinese dishes to your table. If you go here you MUST order at least one Szechuan style dish; it is the chef's specialty. Other stand out dishes are mouth watering chicken, cumin beef, spicy fish hot pot, and mapo tofu. Avoid the fried rice, it is not good. There is a section of the menu written in Chinese, these items are not listen anywhere else in English. If you want to order one of these unique offerings, ask the server for help.The ambience is nostalgic and warm. I love the neon sign and sun bleached photos (typical of old fashioned Chinese restaurants). Service is great too.

This restaurant is so incredible I'm glad I finally made it back. It was a lunch spot favourite when I worked in downtown pre-pandemic.After visiting the Lan Su Chinese Garden for Lunar New Year, I told my family one of my favourite restaurants was close by so we walked a few blocks. We ordered Xiao Long Bao, Egg Flower Soup, Sautéed String Beans, Mandarin Chicken (similar to Orange Chicken or General Tao's), and Spicy Cumin Beef.Everything was incredible. My 6 year old raved about be XLB dumplings and wanted to come back soon. We all loved the Egg Flower Soup, String Beans, and Mandarin Chicken. The Mandarin Chicken was one of the best I've had - perfectly crispy, not too sweet and the perfect amount of spice. Perfect for the kids to enjoy.The XLB dumplings had flavourful meat a delicious broth. The Egg Flower soup had some pork (I think ) in it and vegetables, the perfect amount to complement the egg. The String Beans were so good both of my kids ate a lot of them.The Spicy Cumin Beef was amazing albeit too spicy of the kids. This was my mainstay for lunch when I worked in downtown. We came back again less than week later because my kids kept requesting it. We got the same dishes and added the savory (onion I think) pancake this time. Everyone loved it. The owners are very kind as well. Highly recommend this restaurant.
