Mandarin Yang

We have had food here and to go. There service was excellent as well as the food. Don’t have a fake service animal so did not have any problems.

Food is average, convenient and over priced. They recently added a Vietnamese Spring Roll to their. Terrible bland, bottle peanut sauce and ridiculously over priced. The roll was about half the length and diameter of what any good Vietnamese restaurant would serve for 5.25. A 4 – 5 inch no more than an inch in diameter! I felt taken!!!

We’ve only done take out here, but it’s our go-​to place when we don’t want to cook. The food is not just traditional Chinese food, but other Asian dishes, including some Thai. I do wish they would have more Thai food, however. The quality of the food is excellent and the quantities are almost too large. We love their various egg rolls. The service is great and they are incredibly fast with orders!

I was told my puppy was not allowed in the store as I approached counter to pick up my to go order. I told her she is my service animal! The owner then said she looks cold this is a two year old 3 lb grown dog that I am dependent on. Not cool and against the law.

Great little spot for takeout or dining. Surprisingly good Pad Thai too. Great people, they will customize any dish if you ask.

I don’t get it. Bunch of good reviews but it’s just the same overcooked, americanized, too heavily sauced Chinese food as any other mediocre place. It is very clean and service is freindly. It does have the kitschy appeal of a 1980’s era Chinese restaurant I grew up with but the food is just average.

I went here way back when I was in high school and recently discovered it was still around. Decided to see if it was still as good as I remembered. Yup. Fantastic food, fast service, and decent prices for a large serving.
I recommend the sesame chicken and the tiger pork. The house fried rice is also very good as well. My friend tried the egg foo young and said it was good but he had better. He loved the way the peapods were seasoned under the tiger pork.
We did take out but there are a decent amount of booths and tables to sit at.
The only negative other than no delivery is that there are not very many parking spots.

This is our go-​to for Chinese take-​out. The food is delicious and always ready fast. Friendly service. It can get a little pricey if you order more than two items but portions are large. The only thing I would change is for them to have a delivery service!

Hidden Gem!
What a great find in my own neighborhood. The ingredients are fresh and high quality. We ordered off the menu. Sweet and Sour Chicken: Large portions of tender juicy white meat with a crispy coating. Mongolian Beef: My only complaint about this flavorful dish is that it could have been more spicy. Fried Rice: Stupendous!
Atmosphere is typical and homey! Not that of a high end Asian restaurant but of a neighborhood haunt.
It was very clear that they do a wonderful take-​out business. While we were there, the door was revolving with take-​out orders. Not bothersome but noticeable.

Since I’ve moved back to MN, I’ve noticed the cream cheese puffs have changed. They’re still good but it’s a total disappointment. :/

This is a review of the buffet, not an experience ordering from the menu.
At $ 7.95 the buffet is a steal. There is a nice assortment of traditional Chinese dishes to choose from as well as steamed and fried rice. Condiments such as duck sauce and mustard are on a shelf by the stack of plates. Love that there were lots of veggies to help balance out the meal. The all too frequent downfall of Chinese food — the thick, goopy sauce was nowhere to be found.
The vietnamese egg roll was very tasty and not the least bit greasy.
My only criticisms are the volume of egg in the hot and sour soup made it almost too chewy and the parking is in short supply.
Definitely will return for another pass at the buffet.

Orange chicken was delicious, chicken low mein was fab — overall great experience!

Had the Pad Thai (beef). One word… Yummy! Very fresh, and tasty. Hard to find, but well worth the efforts. Want great Chinese food, stop here.

My wife and I just picked up some take-​out. We got tiger pork, mongolian beef and some cream cheese puffs. Total bill was $ 40. The food was good, and it was enough for 1.5 meals (for 2), but a little pricey for the what it was.

My family and I have always been satisfied with Mandarin Yang’s wonderful food and service. We usually order for take-​out and it’s always fast and delicious. They even send us a Christmas card every year!

This place is a little hard to find, hidden behind a gas station on the corner of 101 and mtka blvd. there had been some rumors, among family friends, that the original creator of the genius tea house tiger pork is cooking here now or did. i dont know if i understood things right, but from what i got, this place wrote the book on the tiger pork and also sesame beef.
it had some serious promise. the menus is big and good. there were only three of us, so limited on what we could try. i prefer the tea house tiger pork, but this one wasnt bad. the sesame beef was pretty good though seemingly bathed in msg and the broccoli mushroom dish would have been even better with some more spice. the sampler appetizer was too fried and boring and doesnt mesh with the mustard sauce or the other booger looking sauce, but not bad with the sweet and sour, which you need to ask for.
i think this place would be worth a visit, but go with a big group so you can try a lot. i have the feeling that there could be a couple ridiculously amazing items on the menu but someones got to find them.
beware that the waiter will check on you 43 times and will ask «how are you enjoying your food.» and also that he and his entire family/​entire staff may sit down for their own meal while you eat yours. its homey.
