What Clients Say

This restaurant is one of the gems of Union Square. There is no option to dine in and the presentation is not the focus. That's not the reason you're here, though. You're here for delicious food at reasonable prices from a mom 'n pop restaurant in Somerville. This restaurant epitomizes supporting local businesses. My favorite is their orange chicken.

Great Chinese takeout . This combination plate was only $13, in 2025 that’s insane!

If you want Chinese takeout, this place will hit all the marks. Don't listen to reviews from people who expect anything other than the standard American Chinese cuisine — that of which Mandarin fulfills very well. The chicken wings, for instance, hit expectations from a Chinese-American takeout joint tremendously, with crispy and gently flakey skin, moist and bouncy meat.

Incredibly affordable, delicious food. The order was done in less than 15 minutes, and the portions were really generous. Finally, the staff was very nice. What’s not to like? A lot of people complaining about delivery in the reviews, I wonder if they’ve ever heard of walking a little and picking up an order? I feel like delivery apps are ruining us…

Deserves a 5-star rating if you're looking for inexpensive 'americanized' Chinese food. No frills, good portions, overall decent quality but exceptional for the price and speed

Not sure what's with all of the bad reviews here. I get sesame chicken from this place once a week and its consistently excellent. Are they short with you over the phone? Sure, but that's fine with me. They make good food and you'll be STUFFED for just over 10 dollars.
