Mainland Restaurant

Mainland has been a Saturday staple since I was a child and boy have they fallen off. My order today was simple, 1 small egg drop soup and a small shrimp fried rice. What I received was soup that was so gelatinous that I had to cut it with waters fried rice with overcooked shrimp that were mushy. I called in my order before my arrival and noticed that it is carry out only.

This place is not good based on my standard. In my opinion egg rolls did not seem fresh. The coleslaw was not crunching on the bite. The wrap was tough. Everything had a traste of being fried twice. The crab Rangoon was too hard to chew. My teeth still ache from thinking about it. Service was not good either lady can be a little off putting. it's not like other places where you can see the kitchen, this one was hidden. You only see the register and barely. Very dark.

They refused to refund me after serving me food with cooked maggots in it. Do not come here!!

This restaurant offers takeout and delivery. I'm not sure about dine in since I ordered for takeout.I live in the vicinity of this restaurant but I've only ever eaten here a handful of times in my life. This restaurant is what you'd expect from a typical neighborhood Carryout. It has the same options of the others and the environment inside.I ordered Sweet and Sour shrimp and my boyfriend ordered Shrimp Egg Foo Young. My order was typical of the tempura battered/fried shrimp, and I got steamed white rice with it. The S&S sauce was packaged in a separate container as was the rice and shrimp. Everything was nice and hot and the shrimp was crispy. The only complaint I have is that the sauce was a little runny. Wasn't very thick like I'd expected it to be and like I've had at other Chinese restaurants. It also had some fruit (?) pieces floating around in it which I've never seen before. Overall 3/5 for flavor.My boyfriends order , egg foo young, looked good and satisfactory for what it's supposed to look like. The flavor, he said is very good and hot. I'm assuming he really enjoyed it since I haven't heard a peep from him since we started eating. He got rice on the side with his and the half & half beverage. For him, overall 4/5 on flavor. Quick basic dinner ideas, this is your spot!

Mainland has been our go to Chinese spot for a few years and sadly, I think it may be coming to an end. Overall, they are a solid choice but not worth the extra trip but definitely a good option if you live close by. Here are some things we've eaten in the past:- Shrimp Egg Foo Young: I am tough critic for this dish because its been more favorite for over 20 years. With that being said, the star of this dish is the gravy and sadly, Mainland's gravy needs a little help. Its really light colored (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) but sooo bland. I always get it hoping it will be better and each time its bland.- General Tso Chicken/Shrimp: Solid choice! It always has a nice crispy despite being saucy and of course, you get a lot of broccoli in this dish! Standard quality!- Egg rolls: We normally get these for free when your order is over $30 (or something). They are really good so its a great addition.- Shrimp and Broccoli: We took a chance on this and should have ordered something else. I didn't know how you can mess up shrimp and broccoli--- but they did by making the brown sauce the consistency of gravy. It was super thick and weird.- Fried Rice: In the past, we would upgrade our white rice to fried rice because why not....and I wish we didn't. The rice is very lightly fried and lacked flavor. So frying the rice didn't really do anything special and was more money.- Steak and Cheese Egg Rolls: THIS IS THE MAIN ATTRACTION! I don't care what you are ordering from this place but you MUST leave with at least 2 steak and cheese egg rolls. These are the best ones I have EVERY HAD and worth the trip.- Half and Half: I heard it was good so figured I would try it! It's solid and comes for free as an option if you spend over $30 or something. Treat yo self!-Honorable mention: Chicken Wings! I personally cannot vouch for the chicken but I have heard several people say they are bomb! Also, when we are picking up food, I would ay 75% of the orders are for chicken wings.

When you walk in, there is no one to greet you. You just seat yourself.... it was pretty dark in yhe restaurant portion with random boxes in just about every corner. Almost like they are in the middle.of a renovation. i was acknowledged by my waitress as i sat down but it took her about 4 minutes to bring me a menu even though she was literally one table away doing something random (not helping a customer). I ordered general tsao chicken with fried rice and a spring roll and half and half. I made sure to emphasize that i wanted it extra spicy. Spring roll came out first, it was huge and pretty good. It also came with a very sweet version of duck sauce. Next was the GT chx and fried rice. It looked amazing..... until i started poking it with my fork. Most peived were hard as rocks. The rice was clearly not made fresh, which is to expected in These types of establishments, and the broccoli was literally cold. I found a meaty peice of the chx and took a bite only to realize there was no spice whatsoever in the sauce and the meat was chewy. At the end of the meal, i left having only eaten the broccoli and a small portion of the rice. The sauce was good, just not spicy. I paid my bill and rolled out with my half and half (which was perfect).

The food is good, but the customer service is lousy. Ordered takeout over the phone. When I arrived to pick up my food, She ask for my CC without giving me my total. I gave her my CC and asked her to confirm my total. She then got annoyed and yelled at me. She returned my card and receipt and told me to look at my receipt. She was rude the whole time. I tried to explain to her that I wasn't sure because she had never rung me up on the register to give me the total price. She ignored me while I was trying to explain and went back into the kitchen. Don't know if she was having a bad night or not, but the customer service STUNK!!! They will never have to worry about me stepping foot in there establishment again!!

Terrible customer service. Will not spend my money there again. This wasn't the first I let go but when she mess my order up rushing me off the phone. I didn't even want to give one star.

My go to place for fried chicken wings. They are the absolute best. Seasoned perfectly. Never disappoint.

For me, this place serves authentic Chinese food compared to the Chinese food and fast food restaurant business this place is a gem.The front counter shaft are very friendly, The cooks don't seem to understand English to well but that's ok. The authenticity is great.The restaurant is a little outdated and aged but that seems to add character to this place. Being that it's in a strip mall right next to a laundromat you do have a good amount of parking.Before the pandemic we would buy a boatload of food here.Look forward in returning...Also I can't speak on delivery but I do know they offer takeout...
