I'm not sure how many Chinese restaurants there are in this area, this is the one that I came up with when I searched. The restaurant itself feels like an establishment that has seen a few restaurants come and go. It's not extremely well lit or heated, not sure about the hot summer months. It's a mom and pop, not a chain restaurant. It's also not easily identifiable as a Chinese restaurant except for the sign above the door. We were looking for a place to meet up while on the road and this was it. The owner is very nice, it's a family run place, they work hard. I get the feeling that they need more business, I did see a lot of togo orders float out the door, but our party was the only sit down party while we were there. The food was good. There were 8 of us, so I ordered 3 appetizers for us to snack on while we waited for the rest of our food. We had the egg rolls, wontons and the pot stickers. Nothing lasted long, before we knew it, the food was on the table. I know I'm a spoiled San Francisco self proclaimed foodie/yelp critic, so take my review whatever way you want to based on that admission. I'll just say that based on where this place is located it's good enough and I can't be really picky. I'll also probably never be back, purely based on location. Nothing would stop me from returning. If for no other reason, to support a hard working restaurant owner. The food was good enough, not to be compared with high end San Francisco or Bay area fancy chinese food. That would be unfair. I had some general chicken, it was sticky and had a slight spice. One person in our party had War Wonton soup and thought it to be on the sweet side. The menu has a wide range of dishes, I'm sure if you're a local you must have a favorite dish, if I lived near this place I would try a bunch of different dishes. In the end we all left in a good mood.

I've been meaning to post this review but it's been slipping my mind. I live about 30 minutes from Patterson but it's the halfway point between my bf and I so we decided to take a chance and have dinner here one night. We were absolutely blown away with the amazing service we got and the food! Not only does it look appetizing but the orange chicken was my favorite over some fresh white rice, it was crunchy and on the sweeter side but had amazing flavor. The curry was delicious as well and we had to take out leftovers home because it was a good amount of food. We started with the pork buns I believe for an appetizer and with chili oil it's the perfect combination!

Good local food, mom and Pop restaurant I enjoyed my meal. The cook had its own twist on walnut prawns look different but surprisingly good to the taste. Fried rice was good. The vegetable plate was really good bok choy broccoli etc. etc. I enjoyed the health of that I would definitely be going there again and again, but I might have to pick a cooler day being at the air conditioner did not work so I wasn't too comfortable as I wanted to be well enjoying my cousin, but I will go back to go !

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST FRIED RICE IVE EVER HAD !!!!This is a hidden gem the Mandarin House, everyone's afraid to go here because the restaurant is empty and has an old building, I've been practicing in this town for 37 years and haven't been in this restaurant for 10 years since the old owners, but the new owners slipped in with nobody noticing. Great find. Now I rotate between LI XU restaurant and this place Mandarin restaurant in Patterson.

This is definitely an underrated gem in Patterson. We got lemon chicken, sweet and sour chicken, and chow mein. Food was delicious, especially the lemon chicken. Customer service was outstanding and it was just an overall great experience. Definitely became my Chinese food of choice on Patterson. Highly recommend.

First and last time I order from here. Unless you like lots of sauce and salt. Ordered chicken chow main, the chicken was uncooked and barely any noodles. the appetizer honey bbq pork was all soup. Kung p chicken again chicken under cooked. Mongolian combo - shrimp tasted bad, and the beef was rubbery. beef with tomato was horrible to taste. The rice tasted like a day old. I think frozen Chinese food would have been better. All of the items went into the trash. Take time and go to a food truck or frozen food aisle in grocery store.
