About This Spot

Stepping into Mandarin Chinese Restaurant, tucked quietly within the Riverside Plaza Shopping Center, feels like finding a calm retreat along the water’s edge. The pace here is unhurried, inviting guests to settle in and take a moment away from the everyday rush. Whether you choose a seat with a view of the gentle pond outside or prefer a cozy spot inside, there’s a soothing rhythm to the space that quietly encourages relaxation and connection.

The atmosphere is warm without pretense—welcoming smiles and attentive service create a genuine sense of ease from the very start. It’s the kind of place where you can return time and again and still feel like a welcomed guest rather than a visitor.

The menu feels thoughtfully rooted in tradition, bringing familiar flavors into focus with each bite. The dishes range from comforting classics to vibrant, satisfying plates that balance savory, sweet, and tangy notes. Whether savoring a plate of tender Mongolian Beef or the lively kick of Kung Pao Shrimp, the food carries a homey, made-with-care feel. The generous portions and subtle layers of spice offer something that’s meant to be shared—both in the dishes themselves and in the experience around the table.

Drinks here seem to complement the mood perfectly, with a selection that includes spirited cocktails alongside familiar beers and wines. Pouring a chilled plum wine or a refreshing Sangria adds a delicate balance to the meal, enhancing that sense of winding down while still lingering over good conversation.

The view beyond the windows—tranquil water framed by soft lighting—offers a quiet backdrop to the food and company, making each visit feel like a gentle escape. Whether it’s a weekday lunch or a relaxed evening dinner, Mandarin Chinese Restaurant holds a special kind of quiet charm that stays with you after the meal is over.

We had an excellent lunch here. Great view, friendly staff, delicious food, a very nice buffet with many different types of dishes. The Egg Drop soup was wonderful, and there were several dessert options in small portions (I tried all of them). A nice TsingTao and some fantastic plum wine to wash it down. We will definitely return here again!

I ordered the general tso chicken. Very fresh and super delicious! You ate missing out if you haven't been here. The portions are big as well.

First time at the restaurant this evening. Wonderful experience. Nice to be sat at a table with the view of the water. It was a beautiful view. The food was delicious!! Everything came hot and delicious looking. We left with no leftovers it was that good. Thank you for a great dining experience this evening. Service was great as well from the greeting, to the sitting down, ordering, getting food, drink refills etc.

Wonderful place to eat! I was in town for a company matter and went here for dinner one night. I had the patio all to myself and the atmosphere was great. Lovely music with a nice view of the pond out back. My server Sergio was the most polite courteous and prompt server I have had in years! He even went out of his way to find me an ashtray so I could enjoy a cigarette on the patio. The food was spectacular as well the general Tso's chicken was the best I'd had in awhile beats the heck out of panda express. Definitely coming back again!

We picked the spot off of Google and were pleasantly surprised. Family style plates. We got general tsau and pepper beef. Excellent crisp on the meat. Great sticky rice. All good food. Highly reccomend. Staff was very attentive and pleasant. No complaints.

Server was a bit rude to us (older gentleman). Chicken had somewhat of a weird artificial taste to it. Atmosphere was great and the other servers seemed very nice
