Mandarin Garden Chinese - Salinas

Since the new owners took over, the food has changed significantly. When you order dishes like Mongolian beef, Kung Pao chicken, or ginger beef, they all seem to use the same sauce recipe. It feels like they apply the same sauce to all their beef and chicken dishes. The only items I still trust are the wonton soup and pancit since they don’t come with any sauce!

The restaurant is exceptionally clean, the service was excellent, and the food was delightful. The prices are reasonable as well.

For nearly three decades, you have been treated to excellent food and warm hospitality.

Love it, go for years! New owner is attentive and very welcoming. The food is delicious. I can get number 6 but instead of beef broccoli make it chicken broccoli.

I always come to this family owned restaurant and have not placed a review. The food is great and service amazing. I recommend to eat the food as soon as cooked. Everything is freshly made. The orange chicken is the best! The fried rice has no comparison. I also love the crème cheese won tons! The Won Ton soup I get every time I come in has no comparison. Highly recommend.
