    Best Chinese food that I have found in Minnesota. The sesame chicken and diced chicken are delicious. Buddhist Delight is also a treat. The pot boilers superb. Rice is perfect. Terrific staff and nice atmosphere. Very reasonably priced.

    Well safe to say, Not the best place to get Chinese! All in All, they have a very nice staff, They do cook the food to the way you ask, but overall taste is not that great. We ordered the standard choices offered at any Americanize Chinese restaurant and come to say, one of the worst places i have eaten in Minnesota. The fried rice has Cabbage in it and is just make it smell rotten. They should skip this ingredient and make sure the rice is not soggy which the fired rice and the white rice is both. The white rice doesn't even taste like Jasmine rice, more like soggy instant rice. The General Tso is not even fried correctly and is soggy out of the kitchen and has a (legit) BBQ sauce vs a standard brown sauce like most places. This place states it was a the 2014 Best in SOMINN restaurants, But that is no where close. If this is the best place in the south, Im scared to eat at any other place in this area. Im sure people in this area love this place, but I will; not eat here again. They might have a better review if they cook like most Chinese places do.

    I like mandarin garden and their "secret" chinese menu. Almost all the items on the menu are tasty and come with a big portion. The owners are nice as well. They give out free buns/ dessert sometimes. The only concern is sometimes they are too busy to care of everyone..

    Been here 5 times in 3 years...loses a star each time... It's like I'm chasing that "first high". My first visit was fantastic; told the owner I was new in town and got outstanding service and awesome sesame chicken...but each subsequent visit got a little worse. I agree, the rice is pasty mush; when I ask for "heat" on a take-out order, and then get home and it's not what I wanted that just annoys me. I don't think I'm willing to give them one more chance to see if I can replicate that first time.

    This is a small town Chinese restaurant but if you attended Carleton or St. Olaf college then you are likely to have eaten here. Yes, it is Chinese/American food but here are some of my favorites: Kung Pao Chicken (something savory about that sauce), Mandarin Fried Noodles, Sesame Chicken (this is 10X better than Panda X), and finally I really like the tofu dishes. Tofu family style is my favorite because the tofu has a nice fried texture and Ma Po Tofu because it is spicy. I will definitely go back next time I'm in town.

    The food sucks. RIce is mushy and the taste weird. The owner informed us even before we ordered we were being asked if paying by cash or credit. It was made obvious that they discourage credit cards. $12 minimum. Portions were large but poor in taste. However the servers were courteous. Avoid.

    My first visit to Mandarin Garden was an eye opening experience. I was initially reluctant when my friends asked me to go; I was expecting to see the standard Americanized Chinese fare, but I was pleasantly surprised. In addition to a full american-Chinese menu, Mandarin Garden offers a more authentic menu written in Mandarin. We were fortunate enough to have a mandarin speaker at our table, but the owner came out and offered to explain the dishes to us herself. We ended up ordering a stir-fried bok choy in a savory clear sauce, and a delicious peppery spare rib soup with winter melon, as well as kung pao and sweet+sour chicken off the Americanized menu. The mandarin entrees were delicious! the bok choy was fresh and crisp; cooked just enough to make it tender. The spare rib soup was complex, peppery, and flavorful; the winter melon added the perfect hint of sweetness to the peppery broth. The two Americanized entrees were also impressive; they were definitely several steps above your average (china star/great wall/manchu wok...) fare. The oolong tea was also quite good, and one of my friends had some tasty plum wine. The mandarin menu changes every two weeks, so I know I'll be back again! Bottom line: I highly recommend Mandarin Garden, make sure you check out the Mandarin menu!

    Excellent Kong Pao Chicken. And the tea is fabulous too. Service was friendly and genuinely interested in our experience. Would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Chinese Cuisine

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.

Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.

There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
