Hi, please can you activate your zomato delivery
Good food, but very less in quantity
.
Veg noodles is not better than chicken noodles try to make much better
Ordered a chicken fried rice + ginger chicken. Tastes awesome. Ginger is spicy and delicious. Great combos to eat. Try it & taste it & enjoy
A very good place for some decent Chinese fast food. Delicious food and reasonable pricing and the quality is very well maintained. They have a big list of food varieties on their menu. The dragon chicken and fish finger will be my favourite s here anytime. The ambience is good with dim lighting and some nice paintings. Service is decent and the food is served without much delay.

It tasted yum ! But i must say that the name gives you an expectation that it is something new.
It was the same as a mixed fried rice 😬

I’ve been going to this place since I was a little kid. My aunt introduced me to it when I was around 6 or 7. And till date, it is, according to me, one of the most simplest and finest Chinese restaurants in Chennai. The ambience is simple and humble, just like the staff who work there. The food is delicious and is worth the money. I usually have the sweet corn chicken soup, chicken lollipop, fish manchurian, Veg Schezwan Fried Rice with Kung Pao Chicken gravy on the side. And trust me, it is simply brilliant. You will love the taste of every single dish. The sweetness of the lollipop with the tang, the spice of the manchurian and the non greasy texture of the fried rice along with the tasty chicken gravy👌🏻❤️ Parking is a huge drawback as it is located in the corner of the street and the street is super narrow. Ambience isn’t too sophisticated but is simple. But the food is really good. The prices have increased obviously. But I wouldn’t say they’re too expensive. Neither would I say they’re pretty modest. It’s in the grey area in between💯
It's a place where you get Indian Chinese food that are pocket friendly..
Ambience: very dim lighter room..it was decent with AC ..
Food : we had crispy beef: the beef was crispy and super moist..
Dragon chicken: the chicken was cut into long strips ..tasted a tad sweeter but nothing to complain about..
Mandrin spl fried rice: really tasty and flavourful
Swetcorn chicken soup: the soul was nice would have liked fresh corn ..
Staff : super friendly!!
Mandarin could be one of the best (fast food) Chinese for a low cost. Though the ambience isn’t that attractive to dine in, for take away could be one of the best restaurants. Their quantity is really good and it’s all priced pocket friendly. The location of the restaurant is also one of the drawbacks. But one could definitely try it for a good tasted Chinese food as they also serve yummy beef here apart from chicken and fish.
i visited mandarin with my parents to give treat. ambiance was awsome nice chinese themes food was excellent my favourite is beef roast it make my mouth wet. i love to go this for nice dinner.

I had a non-veg mixed fried rice. it's really awesome. well cooked. with good taste. it had chicken, mutton and prawns. really loved the fried rice.
The food was good, the delivery was quick. But the fish needed to be a little more crisp, the fried rice was yummy and the chicken was well cooked.
After a lot of waiting over the few days ever since I read the reviews of this restaurant, I ordered food for a birthday party yesterday and they did not disappoint us...
Food was the best both in terms of quality, quantity and taste. Had close to 8 items and the best was their chilli beef which all of us loved, next only to chilli fish and chicken Manchurian.. waiting to visit again

First the place goes like an dungeon. But an quite decent place. Mandarin spl noodles 🍝 was really good with cashews 😋. Beef chilli 🌶 was spicy n tasted good, but should’ve been cooked a little bit. Fried rice was okish. Hakka chicken was ultimately awesome 😋😋😋. Must improve ur service. Overall it was good!
I have been to this place several times and I really like the way the food is prepared. Every cuisine is authentic.
The cleanliness maybe not that great. But the food tastes good.
They can concentrate more on that.
Otherwise starting from their starters to main course they keep tummy quite happy.
I had ordered food. The fried rice was good. The side dish was a bit dry. Other than that I liked the food. I would suggest mandarin for a pocket friendly restaurant for students.

* Nostalgic, 90's ambience
* Bike parking available
* Car parking a difficultly nearby
Located on the first floor, a questionable entrance and stairs open up to a nostalgic 90's ambient restaurant with a cool, red colour based Chinese/Mandarin theme.
The two of us arrived at 14:30 on a weekday. Two tables were occupied. We were attended to quickly as we chose our table.
Order:-
Mandarin Roasted Lamb (₹230) - Deep fried, mildly spicy with a garlic flavour. Tad bit salty. Good stuff otherwise. Medium portion size.
Chilli Fish (₹190) - Extremely tender, sesame oil rich, mildly spicy fish with shredded bell peppers. Dry. Medium portion size. Loved it. Must try.
Chinese Style Prawn Curry (₹200) - With sliced chilli, tomatoes with scallions and prawns, a twist to the regular chilli Prawn dish. Good one though. Medium-large portion.
Mandarin Special Fried Rice (₹150) - A mixed meat stir fried rice with egg, mushroom, chicken, prawn, fish, cashews, beans and carrots. Scrumptious. Medium-large portion size.
Mandarin Special Szechwan Fried Rice (₹160) - Spicy version of the above. Tasted great! Medium-large portion size.
Staff were decent and service was quick; 10 minutes for starters and mains. Half way through the air conditioning was turned off/stopped working. Seating was adequate. Good food, clean cutlery and neat surrounding. Mostly female crowd due to the close proximity to a women's college. Car parking may be impossible nearby. Worthy visit. Could be your regular eat-out option.
Total Bill:- ₹930/- nett
I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. It does feel like your typical Indian Chinese restaurant with the only Chinese ingredients being soy sauce and noodles. However, the made the food quite well and the beef dishes were pretty good. A D+ in term of originality of the menu but I wasn't expecting much. A good meal
Since my school days its one of my favourite Chinese restaurants to visit . pocket friendly as well.. calm and neat ambience .. Great service .. Good taste..definitely a legendary brand and would come back here for a touch of class.
Ordered lunch quite a few times. The food is very tasty and the quantity is good, specially the mixed fried rice. Delivery is prompt and well packed.

Chinese food is descent here. We order chicken rice/noodles here on daily basis. Competitive pricing makes it affordable to order from this restaurant more frequently and bundled with swiggy's fast delivery service it is a good option altogether.
Opposite to Stella Maris and the left before Gangotree, to ur left is the Mandarin. Climb a few stairs and entering the restaurant , I see a small place with dim lighting, red Chinese styled lights and red coloured table spreads. There is Air-conditioning.So that's the description about the restaurant .
Now the menu is typical Chinese, fried rice, noodles and other variety of starters . I was here with a few friends just for a simple lunch.
FOOD REVIEW: Taste is pretty good when compared to the cost and quantity is also sufficient . We were in real hunger when we entered and left with a full stomach. Chicken fried rice and prawn noodles was what I liked of the lot . And well schezwan fried jus tasted like a chilli flavoured version of a normal fried rice . But even that tasted well with the sauce (not mixed with water) they give .
So pretty much a place u can go for a simple lunch or dinner with not so bad quality and less cost .
This has been a restaurant I have been going for over 15years now and pretty much nothing has changed ! I have so many memories of this place ! Tucked in that busy road, this tiny place is a delight ! The interiors are pretty simple & basic. I love their hot n sour soup, Crispy vegetables, ginger chicken, chicken fried rice & Chinese chopsuey ! I wouldn't mind goin back to this place when I want a quick and simple lunch/ dinner !
Browsing for nearby restaurants at Royapettah, Mandarin caught my eye. I grabbed a pretty good deal from the little app and headed to this place. This place is located on the main road near the Royapettah Bridge but it took some effort to actually spot this place.
Restaurant is on the first floor. The place is pretty dark and you can see shines lanterns here and there. Taste wise, their food tasted good and their quantity was pretty good too. Pricing is nominal and I liked their service. The place had a weird smell which is very light and not intolerable but you can sense it definitely. Good vfm.
If your a chinese lover, this is the perfect place for you.
Go for the food and ignore the ambience. The place is calm and very less crowded. The price is nominal as well
This place serves good and authentic Chinese cuisine.. had visited this place with a frnd..did order for a sweet corn soup, szechwan veg fried rice, and chilli gobi sides.. the rice was spicy and tasty as expected.. the gobi gravy was good.. the quantity was good enough for two of us to share.. it costed only Rs.360.. worth the money!!
A wonderful place to try out authentic chinese near royapettah!! Lovely taste and a very good service makes the experience better!! Definitely recommended!
A cozy place with no challenges for parking. Friendly staff and decent menu spread
Their fried rice and side dishes are enjoyable and awesome. Portion was also good. some niche dishes were also present.
Their juices were outstanding and over a good experience
Mandarin, i remember a fish named in this name and towards my love to fish recipes i tried this restaurant without hesitation. The feel inside the restaurant is not lively, the interiors are dark themed. Friendly waiter and super fast delivery post giving orders did give me a positive vibe. FISH recipes are the highlights here... the biriyanis, chinese items were above average, nothing different from a normal fast food. But the fish was too good. Not of high price, one shall easily try this restaurant. there's no parking space and you will struggle if you are in a car. The street is too narrow. Worth a try...
I really love the food from this resturant 😍thanks to swiggy ... one Friedrice tummy fully for two people ... I am an total craze for chilly fish of this resturant 😍 totallyyyy amazing...those prawns ..so big and tasty😍 crispy outside jusy inside❤ ... I love it ...best lunch during my office hours 😁
Been to this place twice
U will get a excellent Chinese food here
They deliver tasty food
Best to hang out with friends
Value for money
Located near stella mary coll
Ambience is good
The food was very good and was very reasonably priced. But the ambience could have been a bit better. A special mention to the chilli chicken which was very tasty!
One of the very few Chinese restaurants which I enjoyed muh in the city.
Taste and it's cost are really excellent .However the ambience had a mild raw meat smell, though bearable it's something which might turn off some customers. Can be locate easily(right opp Stella!) and parking a car would be quite tedious though.
Their crispy beef is a must try! Oh the sauce!!!
This is a good place to be in if you want a saint in Chinese food that is well in the reach of the city right opposite to Stella Maris College a good ambience and a good place to have Chilli beef with onion rings and Schezwan rice
Have been a frequent visitor to this restaurant for ages (Past 15 years or so). Food Qty is more than adequate and the taste is incredible. Prices are pocket friendly...
Decided to have a Chinese meal for lunch today and the first place that came to my mind was Mandrain. I have seen this place like forever but never actually got to try it. Today with great expectation I ordered food from here to be home delivered. To start off with the main disappointment - They do not serve Momos/ Dumplings and that was sad stuff for me as I am too much of a momo lover. Their american choupsey was too tangy for me but the portion was too much and could actually be shared by two which is really great for that price. The mixed Non - Veg noodles tasted extremely delicious and the dragon chicken was spot on. The only thing I wish they had is Momos! hope you get it on your menu soon! Good luck!

Mandarin is located almost opposite to Stella Maris and I spent three years seeing the board but never daring to go try it.
I was at my friends place, and we decided to order from here cause apparently she does it all the time.
Since it was a take away I can't rate the ambience.
The food was packed neatly in foil packets. We ordered Dragon Chicken, Garlic Chicken and Chicken Fried Rice. Yes my friend is crazy about Chicken. Hahaha.
The food was satisfactory and decent. I have no complains but nothing wow either. Their dragon chicken does lack cashew nuts but I guess everyone has their own style. #cashewnutlover
The quantity of the food is good. The taste was also okay. Except for the ambience everything was fine. I am not a big fan of sweet corn soup but i really liked the sweet corn soup here.
Ambience 5/10
Quality 7/10
Quantity 9/10
Price 8/10
Service 8/10
I've been eating here for about more than ten years, and still didn't get bored about the place.
Lamb and beef served here are sumptuous.
The quantity of rice is also generous, that it would be sufficient for two.
The only downer to this place is the ambience which has not been renovated for ages but not worse.
So I would say this place is a must try spot in gopalapuram.
After good reviews on taste & quantity from friends,
I was desperate to visit this place.
Went for a lunch with 3 more friend.As we ware already informed on the quantity we didn't ordered individually each dishes but ordered the following on idea of sharing
* Sweet corn Chicken soup & Prawn mushroom soup- Very good
*schezwan egg noodles & rice, egg rice -very good
*Mandrarin spl fish-excellent
*Sliced chicken with cashew- Very Average
P.S-quantity was too satisfying, for 4 ppl we ordered 2 soup ,3 main course and 3 side dishes as mentioned above and it was too heavy for us.
Bill was also only around 1000.Rs for 4 ppl.
Totally a worthy Chinese restaurant to visit occasionally.
Not a place you would probably want to sit and dine. I had gone inside the restaurant once but decided to take- away instead- the seating area looked quite weird- even shady maybe. I do however regularly order for delivery from this hotel and I really like the food quality and taste wise . Typical indianised Chinese food, cheap, quick delivery and value for money
If you love Chinese food and you haven’t heard of this place, then it’s an absolute shame on your part. Located right in the heart of the city, this hub serves some great dishes. It’s one of the few places where all the courses are tasty- be it the soup, starters, mains or desserts. The ambience is not too good (I’m putting it mildly), but if you are looking to satisfy that craving for Chinese food, this is the place to be!

I've known Mandarin ever since I've known who I was. It's just a 3 min walk away from my home and I've been frequenting this places for ages. Over the years, this place has changed hands and the quality has gone down very significantly. I used to love this place but nowadays I go here only when I don't have a choice. Given below is my review for this restaurant.
PROS:-
* It's right next to Gangotree and neatly tucked in from the busy cathedral road. There is ample space for parking two wheelers.
* Once we walk up the stairs, we get into the restaurant which is almost always empty. The menu card is extensive and purely Chinese. They have a lot of items.
* My favourites here are too many to pin down. Swt Corn Chicken is really good here, Chicken clear soup has helped me during my unhealthy days a number of times. Chicken Ginger and Chicken Mushroom are amazing. Prawns are really good and the quantity is pretty high. Beef is also great here. Beef Manchurian gets my vote. As for the mains Mixed Rice is heavenly. Szechwan and Chopsuey are good.
CONS:-
* Car parking is a problem here. Thanks to the narrow street, bikes are perfect to check this place out.
* Mandarin is in the first floor and the entrance and the way up to the restaurant is pretty dingy. May be that's the reason the girls from the opposite Stella Maris College have decided to abandon this place. Most of the restaurants I've seen that haven't been on the ground floor, rarely flourished.
* The ambience needed an uplift for ages and I don't think they have any plans on doing it.
* The price is a bit on the higher end. Even though the food is good and the quantity is high, the place has to be rich enough to make us pay for it.
* Lastly and most importantly, I've heard from a friend who saw a rat running into the kitchen and another friend who had a takeaway saw a piece of glass in his food. When he confronted the management, they didn't care at all.
Overall I love it and hate it for many reasons but I still patronize it. Not the best place in the city and nothing new to offer but whatever they do, they are good in it.

i just love the food here.I am a regular customer of mandarin,im visiting them for more than 6 years.we always go here for any occasion.but the last time i went was with my friends.we were sooper hungry when we reached there and we were ready to predate anything which they gave.we first ordered the starters which were onion rings and fish fingers.the fish was well cooked and the chilli coating went on well with it.then we went on for soups.we ordered a veg sweet corn soup and a mandrin spl soup.the mandarin spl soup is to die for.once musn't come without having their spl soup.it just melts your taste buds.we then switched over to main course which was chicken fried rice,schezwan chicken noodles,american choupsey and ofcourse their signature dishes chilli chicken and ginger chicken.the noodles went along well with the gravy.the pepper prawns which came a bit late was suh a delicasy.we didn't bother about the delay coz it was a dish to wait for.overall he experience was good.except for the fact that they don't have desserts everything else was fine.can improve the ambience a little more
food--4.5/5
ambience--3/5
hospitality--3.5/5(could add more waiters or could dress up that two waiters in a professional manner:P)
