| About: | This restaurant brings back memories of those grand Chinese restaurants from yore. The kind where you walk in and find a water pond and wild foliage to one side, dark wood walls to another, well worn red booths, golden dragons observing you as you dine and waiters in smart red vests with embroidery. Not many of these gems left, for those who consider them gems. Enjoy Northern Chinese and Mandarin cuisine here. Entrees include Bean Curd Beef, General Tsao's Chicken and Sea Cucumber with Pork, and Calamari with Black Bean Sauce. Many vegetarian selections are also available. |

Mandarin Garden Restaurant is one of the best Chinese cuisine in Berkeley. They have free Delivery and they also give out free appetizers sometimes. THe food is prepared fresh and price is good. If you happen to eat out in berkeley try Mandarin restaurant, you will enjoy it.
Our family has been going to Mandarin Garden for over 20 years. The food is consistently delicious and the service unequalled. Wing is charming and thoughtful - an excellent host. The lemon chicken is very special as are the kung pao prawns and pea shoots. Everything we have ever ordered has been fresh and delicious. We drive down from Napa whenever we get hungry for our favorites. Try it!
This restaurant is awful!!! We tried the Peking Duck tonight. It was way too fatty and had no flavor. The other dishes (sliced fish, jelly fish with chicken, stir-fry long beans with minced pork) were also below average.
The worst thing was, after we were done eating, we used the restroom facilities. Their Peking Ducks were hanging on rods from the ceiling at the end of the hallway, located just outside the restroom doors, and the grease from the ducks was dripping directly on to the floor where the kitchen staff was working. You just can't help seeing it as you entered/exited the restrooms. Yuk!
If you want authentic Chinese food, go some place else -- stay away from this place!!
