Mandarin Gourmet-San Jose

Great food, staff and prices not great

Great tasting food. Very good service. Highly recommended.

My family has been coming here for years, it is their go to place for Chinese food close to one of the houses. They are always friendly and get the orders correct, and the pricing is decent. It is a nice large restaurant that is pretty well done. We usually order take out however. It is decent Chinese food, and it always is hot and seems fresh. The problem is the quality of food to me. While, the food is always well prepared, it just never feels fresh. The sauces are usually a bit too heavily laid on and tend to be on the sweet side. If you're looking for a decent Chinese food meal that is better than Panda, then this is a good choice. If you're looking for a more gourmet experience, then I'd probably try elsewhere.

I have always liked their food. I ordered the general's chicken lunch special . Got two courses. First was a wonderful Chinese chicken salad and hot and sour soup with crispy wonton. Then the main course. Would have preferred white rice...he brought brown without asking. But I left absolutely stuffed.

Best Chinese restaurant we have tried! My wife and I have been coming to this place for about 15 years, and we love it. The kids are now hooked, as well!This is the type of restaurant that ruins all other similar food restaurants, because nothing is as good as this one.

They seem to have a decent amount of space and getting a table on a Friday evening was quick. Lady at the front desk was inattentive and unfriendly. Food was bland and sloppily prepared.

They offer a great variety of fresh food. I liked eating here. Employees are always friendly, pricing is affordable and the place is always neat.

Food is excellent. Probably the best Chinese food I have ever had. Every dish has its own distinct flavor, not like a lot of Chinese restaurants where all the food taste similar like they have been cooked all together or in the same pan. Great atmosphere elegant but a relaxed and friendly. The staff very attentive friendly and helpful. It’s a very pleasant experience. I recommend It to everyone.

Pretty good restaurant with typical (Americanized) Chinese food. I've been there twice for lunch. The wait staff is attentive and the kitchen is fast.

The service is constantly swift, great atmosphere, very kind staff members. Will return here again when I am in town.

The last time I ate here was back in the late 90's and we were in the neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon and decided to try again.The staff was friendly, the table service was quick and our order was on our table in no time!We thought to ourselves, either they have a lot of people cooking in the back or the food isn't fresh Our food was fresh and delicious so I'm thinking they have a lot cooks. It's good to know that this place doesn't disappoint after so many years! We'll definitely be returning!

Fresh made food. Fast service. Great customer satisfaction

Yummy food. Enjoyed Everytime I went there. 3 stars because of the pricing.

Love this place for lunch. Smaller plates but still enough to share for two. Includes soup, salad, won ton strips with sweet and sour sauce, fried rice, hot tea and then you pick your entree. Food is always freshly prepared with delicious sauces that are truley Gourmet! Oh and you can eat there in about 30 min or sometimes less, why settle for a fast food joint when you can get Mandarin Gourmet.

Old outdated atmosphere, some of the worst cocktails I've ever tasted, because no I didn't drink it it was that bad. And the food was just okay. Nothing to write home about. I was expecting better especially the way it's priced. Totally overpriced I was really wishing it would be better because this is right by my son's house. Disappointed
