Mandarin Bistro

I don’t like the chicken its spongy and almost taste like fat .
They don’t give enough sauce on the pad thai it’s kinda dry

Poor customer service. Check your food before you pull out of the drive thru because they expect you to come all the way back to fix it when al I wanted was a credit for the item they dint give me. The rice sucks. They Rangoon is good. But pitiful customer service.

Nice place. Could use some décor upgrading. It is a little run down and the bathroom was clean but small and a bit dark and gloomy. I got the Combo Street Noodles and it was DELICIOUS! I finally found a place that makes GOOD hot and sour soup. It was done right. Everyone in our party was happy with thier food and I had to swat hands with my fork to keep them out of my plate. I would have rated them higher but the décor is a bit dark for my liking.

We ordered the Mongolian shrimp extra spicy and it took a very long time for them to bring the food to the table. The soup came out 20 minutes early and we waited for the food to arrive they were struggling to bring food to any of the tables and it was a busy Sunday after church. My Mongolian shrimp and had bits of dried chiles that had not been rehydrated at all. It was very chewy and could not eat it. I asked for a number 7 in the heat but it came out mild.

Mandarin Bistro puts a unique twist on Chinese & Thai combination under one roof. Dishes are made to order and, unlike some other local Chinese restaurants, aren’t sitting around for a long time waiting for the next customer. They use quality, fresh ingredients and white meat only. Their menu touts «free range beef and fresh produce are the keys to our quality».
I really like their basic Pad Thai as well as their Thai Coconut Curry options. If you like spicy foods give their Kung Pao Shrimp a try. On Monday through Friday their only open until 8:30. On Fridays and Saturday they stay open until 9:00.
The building that houses this restaurant was «Gene’s Donut Shop» when I was a kid and they were one of the few businesses open 24 hours. I liked it then and I like it now, albeit for different reasons.

We really like this restaurant. Staff is friendly and food is prepared fresh. Chow fan noodles, and stir fries are best. For curries I would recommend Esan not far from here.

I used to go here when they were in Tontitown. I usually ordered take out because it was close to home. I went in a few times, though, and their restaurant was nice and looked clean. The food is good, but probably just a few steps above a good chinese buffet. The prices are quite reasonable and the service is probably average. Not great, but certainly not bad.
They have sinced moved their location, which wasn’t a bad idea. Being in Tontitown in a barely noticed (and mostly vacant) shopping plaza does nothing to boost business. I’ve been to their newer location once and, unfortunately, I was less impressed with the food. The location seems smaller and is not as nice as the previous one. Additionally, the food just wasn’t as good as it previously was. I’m not sure what caused it to change but I would now put it on par with a typical chinese buffet.
I may give it another shot when I am craving that type of cuisine, but there’s no telling when that will be. Will they still be there? Who knows. I hope they are and I hope the quality moves back up to where they previously were.
