Mandarin House - Carmel

We visited the restaurant for the second time since there was a change in ownership. The first visit was disappointing, but we decided to give it another chance. Unfortunately, it seems like the last experience was not a fluke. I agreed with my fellow diners that we should not return. The food quality was not as good as it was under the previous ownership, and the service was lacking.

I typically don't write reviews, but I felt the need to warn others about my experience at this restaurant. I ordered the General Tso's food combo and found it difficult to eat as the meat was tough and hard to cut even with a knife, giving me concerns about its safety. The crab Rangoon lacked flavor and was reminiscent of a fortune cookie. Overall, the meal was bland and did not seem fresh. I would not recommend dining here.

No, thank you. We had heard positive reviews of the Mandarin House on our Facebook page and decided to give it a try for lunch. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken and an egg roll. Unfortunately, the egg roll was not up to par. While the outer crust was flavorful, the filling was lacking compared to other Chinese egg rolls. The overall taste was bland and the sweet and sour sauce was overly syrupy. The rice was also soggy. We were surprised to find a lucky cookie sponsored by a national cryptocurrency company, with the message inside focusing on money. Overall, it was a lot of dough for a mediocre lunch experience.

The personal was in order, has not got a good job to listen to my food orders when we sit down and my pork was cold and hard when it served, jiajiang noodles was cold, overall is not my recommendation for authentic Chinese cuisine!

Ordered dinner take out, when we got home had multiple issues/problems with the food order. Serving portions were very small (even smaller) than lunch, chicken in General Tso's order was hard tough, order chicken fried rice there was no chicken in it, Mongolian Beef was supposed to be over a bed of fried rice sticks it was not, called to inform the manager never received return phone call. Very disappointed, when at one time, absolutely loved this place.....
