Excellent food, very good service, and all in a beautiful room. This is not a storefront Chinese restaurant. It is a place to dine and have well-prepared, savory Chinese food. I recommend it highly. This is not your spot if you are looking for inexpensive, grab-a-bite Chinese food.

This place is great~

This place was excellent - by far the best Chinese food in the Bay Area. We ordered the Sesame Chicken, Tangerine Chicken, Beef with Broccoli, Chicken Fried Rice, and Pot Stickers (which were the best we've ever had). We haven't been big ...?

I am not someone in there Twenties or Thirties I am in my Forties and I have been eating chinese food 4 years. The 2 bad comments made below are Ludicrous. I have been going 2 this restaurant since 1993 or 94, the service has always been great and the food has always been excellent very consistent. The only change at this restaurant is the price and the amount of servings they give you. I do understand why the serving are not as large as they used 2 be. But this will not stop me from going, it just cuts back the number of times I do go there a month. They do not get 5 stars they get 10 STARSSSS.?

This place should be closed down. I am surprised by the number of great reviews this restaurant has received. I went to this restaurant to have lunch with a friend on March 3, 2007, and after receiving sub-par service, we paid the bill ...?

Without a doubt. I used to live in the city and thoughts I would never find good chinese again but I was wrong. The coconut shrimp is my favorite. You can't go wrong really with anything on the menu. In fact, we order take out at least ...?

Mandarin Gourmet has a great lunch menu (soup, main course, rice) and the ambiance is nice - much more upscale than your typical Chinese restaurant with greasy chairs. I guess that's expected of downtown Palo Alto - everything is nicer ...?
