Mandarin House Chinese & Vietnamese Restaurant

We have been coming to Mandarin House for 11 years now, living right up the street. I’ve never had a reason to complain until tonight. We ordered take out — two combination platters of S&S Shrimp, 1 combo of Governor’s Chicken, large wonton soup, Crab Rangoon (6) and Pot stickers. Here is what we received: one order of Governor’s, wonton soup, 4 Crab Rangoon (not 6) one SMALL container of steamed rice, and 6 S&S shrimp. When my husband called to advise that our order was incorrect, the owner immediately became defensive and said he had not ordered combination platters, which is why we did not receive three egg rolls. He did, but that’s beside the point. When he went up to get two ‘complementary’ egg rolls, he also advised them that we were shorted two crab rangoons and questioned why we only had six S&S Shrimp when two meals (combo or not) were ordered. The owner’s response? We packed your two meals of shrimp into one container — so three shrimp and (very little) steamed rice for a cost of $ 8.25? This is our normal order, by the way, and normally feeds our family of five, with leftovers. This was the equivalent of getting f**ked in the drive thru. All this aside, the owner’s response to my husband’s concerns was unacceptable — honest people don’t act that way. He says we won’t go back, but I hope that they can change the attitude and service, because I really do enjoy the food.

Hands down the BEST sweet and sour chicken I have EVER had.

Best hot and sour soup in Cleveland area!
Consistent quality for the 25+ years that we have enjoyed the menu selections

Better then i thought it was going to be. And they had bubble tea.

Delicious food! I’ve been going here for years. The owners are always friendly and the won ton soup is the best.

I usually hate ordering or going out for Chinese. I love Chinese food, but it seems that at most places it is not fresh, or it is loaded with a helping of MSG large enough to give me a headache for weeks. This is not true with Mandarin House. My boyfriend and I have been going here since we moved to Parma three years ago. We order the food when the mood strikes us, but we stop in to just pick up bubble tea at least a few times a month. The food is excellent, and their wonton soup is the best I’ve ever had. I’d recommend the beef chow fun: wide rice noodles, beef, soy, and bean sprout. It’s a dish most Chinese restaurants in our area don’t offer, but it is one of the best, and Mandarin House does it well.
Oh, and the bubble tea… get it! Always made fresh when you arrive, even if you order over the phone. There are so many flavors and options.

My family and I have been coming here for years. It’s consistently good, no matter what we order.
Tonight was the governors chicken, phở ga, vegetable lo mein, and chicken chop suey.
I wish there was a little more broccoli in the governors chicken, but I love the flavor. My dad always gets a large knowing I’ll eat more than I should.
The egg rolls are fantastic, crispy, dictionary, and I love the sauce that comes with it.
It’s all tasty, every time. Affordable and fast prep. You can’t go wrong!

I’ve been going to this place for over 20 years. You know how every family has its go-​to Chinese restaurant and pizza place? This is ours (for Chinese at least). They have the best won-​ton soup and pork fried rice to egg rolls to ribs and everything in between. LOVE IT!

I’ve come here a few times and have ordered the Szechuan chicken and General Tso combo dishes. The portion sizes are big (I’m never still hungry) and both of those dishes are very good. The egg rolls don’t disappoint either.
The place is family owned and the staff is very friendly. Nothing is over priced for the quantity of food you get. I’ll be coming back.

Even though I live very close its not worth the drive here. The only things I’ve tasted that hold a candle to other places is their wonton soup and spring rolls. The teriyaki chicken is ok, except its all dark meat so most of it is not edible because of the fat. You stab your fork in a piece and five other pieces come with it because of the fatty connective tissues. There is a small Vietnamese menu and I tried the phở chicken soup. The chicken tasted like nothing it was really terrible. The cilantro comes already in the soup still on the vine which is gross to me. I would rather be able to tear off the leaf part myself. The honey garlic chicken was soggy when I tried that. All in all, I basically never eat there anymore which is a shame because I could walk there if I wanted to.

BEST WONTON SOUP! After eating theirs no other wonton soup will compare! Always super fresh and delicious! Their egg rolls are superb! Love the moo goo gui pan and sweet and sour chicken is always a hit! Absolutely Delicious! Never had a bad tasting item from here! We’ve been enjoying their cuisine for over 12 years

Got some takeout this weekend on our way to visit relatives. Normally I wouldn’t consider ordering blindly from someplace without seeing a menu (no website to be found), but my brother-​in-​law vouched for them and said it’s good. We ordered 3 entrees and a soup, and the bill came to about $ 25, which is pretty fair. I saw on another review here that someone liked the Hunan Vegetables, so that’s what I got. They were pretty good. My brother-​in-​law got the shrimp with lobster sauce, and my husband had general tso’s chicken. The hot and sour soup was probably the worst I’ve ever had. Lots of sour, and no hot; plus it had some kind of meat in it, which was unpleasant and unexpected. My biggest complaint is that they only gave us 1 pint of rice to share for 3 entrees. Most other Chinese takeout places I’ve tried give you 1 pint of rice per entrée. It was definitely not enough. I would give 1 star, but my husband loved his chicken.

Ordered the vegetable curry, was not impressed or happy. The mushroom egg foo young was killer though, really enjoyed my moms meal. The waitresses were pleasant and attentive. Egg rolls were delicious as well!
Probably wont go back, there’s nothing special to me about this place.

We have gone to this place for a couple of years, Everything was fine until we found a dead bee in our food during our last visit. Management subtracted 1 dinner from our check of four dinners. Will not be back.

I was intrigued by Mandarin house after reading some of its reviews on Unilocal.Something about the pictures reached out to me, what most reached out to me was the label Chinese & Vietnamese restaurant. Chinese/​Mandarin yes, Vietnamese I think not. Some noodle soups, but I was desiring more options. Vietnamese vegetable soup would’ve been delightful. I love the atmosphere here. Reminds me of an old favorite that is no longer open. The egg rolls were fantastic. The main dishes we had left a lot to be desired. I had vegetable pad Thai. I should’ve known to ask If egg was going to be in it. It had a fairly foul smell but tasted ok. The honey garlic chicken just didn’t cut it. I have to wonder if it’s frozen or fresh when all of these places taste basically the same, and it aint so good.
I’d be willing to give it another try. Hoping for something spectacular.

A good barometer for a Chinese restaurant is their egg rolls and who answers the phone. So when I call and its an American that speaks perfect English, I am immediately worried. I ordered szechuan chicken and specified EXTRA SPICY. I then added pot stickers and an order of Beef with Broccoli.
I don’t want to spend a lot of time on this review because it brings back bad memories. I guess if I didn’t interpret the red flag of the English speaking person who answered the phone. The fact that it was Saturday night and there were only 2 people in the entire restaurant should have been a good indicator not to order here.
If that is extra spicy, then I would hate to taste mild. There was NO taste and both dishes were so bland that I actually felt cheated. The szechuan chicken was ordered as a combo meal and this is literally the smallest portion combo meal I have ever seen. In fact, it would not have been big enough to even be considered a child’s meal. The pot stickers were good, but the dipping sauce was uneventful.
In the event that you find yourself hankering for one of their egg rolls, which would mean you lost all of your taste buds in a microwave jelly donut accident back when you were a kid, you can find them in the freezer section of your local Dairy Mart. Holy misuse of a perfectly good egg roll wrapper. Worst Beef and Broccoli ever… It was beef, broccoli and brown water… I am not sure if their spice rack hadn’t come in from Amazon dot com yet or what, but this food is tasteless.
I did get a free calender and the people were very nice. The restaurant looked very clean and it has fantastic parking. So it wasn’t all bad. But I don’t ever see myself going back here. If this is Americanized Chinese food, then we as Americans should hang our heads in shame.

«Meh» is the best I can come up with. The front of house is nice, clean, and well kept. The ice tea is so strong it could eat the paint off ships. The veggie egg roll was really good, The egg drop soup was «meh» and it appears they have no wontons. Just these odd square fish flavored crackers that sizzle when they hit hot soup and turn to mush. I had the sesame chicken and again, «meh». The other people in my party felt the same way. It’s not bad, but also not memorable at all.
Oh, one last thing, the prices are very reasonable. That was above «meh».

Mandarin House has been one of my FAVORITE places to get Chinese food in Cleveland for over 10 years.
The food is consistently fresh and delicious. Generous portions as you would expect from Chinese. The egg rolls are the best I’ve ever had and you can order vegetable ones with no problem.
Over the years they have been expanding their vegetarian menu to include tofu dishes such as Teriakyi tofu, Ma Po Tofu, and General Tsos. The non-​tofu vegetarian dishes have always been very good. My friends and family never complain. My veg faves are the Curry Vegetables, lots of chopped vegetables over a bed of rice noodles in a light curry sauce, and the Hunan vegetables, lots of chopped veggies in a brown hunan sauce with rice. They also also have great pad thai and egg foo young dishes and they have brown rice on the menu!
I can’t say enough about the freshness and taste of the dishes compared to other chinese places. You get actual cut vegetables like broccoli, water chestnuts, carrots and bok choy. It’s not just a lot of filler vegetables like onions and celery. The fried rice is fluffy not clumpy. The food is prepared to order. Presentation is always great.
The staff is always very friendly and attentive.
The prices are average for chinese food with some of the speciality items priced a little higher.
The place is clean and been redecorated in the last few years. I took my Grandma Helen here for lunch. She is very picky about freshness and cleanliness and this place passed the test. (She ordered the chow mein and enjoyed it very much).
Bravo Mandarin House for a great meal again and again.

We have been coming to Mandarin house for over a decade. Family Owned and Operated… the best hidden little gem. and now they have Bubble-​Teas!

I returned and tried the pad thai with tofu for lunch. Very tasty, I’d definitely get it again! Huge portion! Again, very quick service and friendly staff. Nice option very close to Tri-C’s Parma campus.
