Mandarin Garden - Indian River County

We just moved to the area and tried Mandarin Garden for takeout. The food was very good, the person who took the order and brought out the food was friendly, and they were quick. They don't seem to have a web site or on-line menu so I ordered things we normally get from a Chinese restaurant. One of the items was Singapore Mei Fun, when I got there I took a look at their menu and didn't see it listed, but they had no trouble making it.

We ordered takeout, never having been here before. I will tell you we will never order again!We ordered chicken rice soup. It was literally white rice mush and chicken. Not enough broth for even a cup of soup. We were missing pork fried rice for our combo. The chicken and broccoli was white sauce-it was gross, completely tasteless. And the white rice tasted like minute rice, wasn't cooked all the way and not sticky.

The prices have gone up, which is understandable. But the overall service is was much better when the older woman was running the place. The Service at this present date is horrible and the lady was VERY RUDE, was short by .75 cents and she went off! Hadn't been in a while, didn't have the updated on menu and it went by the menu and pricing from home. Sorry for not being a mind reader or thinking to ask about the increase of food price don't make it a habit to stop frequent at restaurants just to get the menu..... Word of Advice, Relax it isn't that serious especially over .75 cents. Won't be going there again.

Tl,Dr: Great food and great atmosphere without sacrificing price______________ ___ _The best Chinese place in town and one of the best I 've ever had overall. Meat is always cooked thoroughly without being dry and the sauces are just incredible!Unlike most hole in the wall Chinese joints, this place actually has spacious, restaurant style seating with great ambience and decorations all while keeping the same kinds of affordable pricing you 'd expect. This makes it the only Chinese place I actually consider eating at a table over takeout from time to timeThe staff doesn 't speak English particularly well, but they 're friendly and attentive! All in all, it 's worth visiting if you 're in the area and maybe even worth taking a short trip to from out of town as well if only to see how your local Chinese place could be doing it if they cared as much as Mandarin Garden does

We visited for our first time today. So happy we did. Service was great along with our food. General Taos chicken and beef lo mein. We will be back.
