Used to be a regular deliveroo customer but will be moving to another option. Last 2 times I've spent over £50 and the food portions have been EXTREMELY small compared to usual. It's a bit of a joke that they charge that much and have such small portions. 7-8 small tofu bits for a salt and pepper tofu is ridiculous. Garlic rice was also undercooked and hard and gave me a bad stomach the next day. Overall not great - will not be be ordering ever again having ordered 6 - 7 times already
Really good food. Hot and sour soup, chicken satay and hot and sour soup was really good.
Excellent tasty dishes, full of flavour. Attentive and friendly staff. A local
12/10 venue. The staff were amazing and I can’t recommend this place enough. Just a great venue for dinner or for celebrations like we were doing.
We had a good time at Mandarin celebrating a family birthday. Great service from Andrea, who was very accommodating and made our group's time much more enjoyable!
Terrible experience on 20th September 2024. Cold food, poor service, served chicken to vegetarian guests saying it was veg. No manager in sight.They prioritise takeaway orders over restaurant customers. We have been coming to this restaurant for year but will never go there again. Avoid at all costs.
Vegetarian options: Very good selection.
We went in a couple mouths later to try the food in the restaurant and not Uber eats and was so happy with the quality and the politeness of the staff was overall the best dinner experience I’ve had a while would highly recommend coming here.
Good atmosphere, delicious food and amazing service
Kid-friendliness: Owner is very friendly and welcoming

I took my friends who were visiting from abroad to Mandarin. I went many years ago and the food was amazing. This time I went I was extremely disappointed. We arrived at 7pm, the place was pretty much empty, there was a total of 2 other tables in for dinner. The service was extremely slow, if they were rushed off their feet I would understand. By the time we had ordered from the menu, it took 30 mins for the starter to come out, we had the mixed starter, the chicken satay which one of my friends couldn’t eat as it was too spicy for them, the sesame prawn toast which wasn’t great, spare ribs which were tasty, vegetable spring rolls where there was a lot of Indian herbs used, and then the seaweed which was extremely salty.
By the time we had finished our starters it took yet another 30 mins to get our mains. The only thing that was nice was the rice, all the other dishes were horrendously bad, we had beef in oyster sauce, which didn’t taste anything like it should and again was extremely salty, we also had a couple of roast pork dishes, one was too fatty and the other one was over cooked.
Unfortunately all of us weren’t very well, friends used the bathroom a couple of times whilst we were there.
Staff were shy but ok. The chef who came out was very warm, apologetic and caring. The drinks/cocktails were amazing.
We only paid for the food that was edible and the drinks. I will not be coming back here in the future.
Beautiful place and delicious food. Staff were lovely especially Poona. Would recommend this restaurant and will definitely go again!
Woww such a great taste.. the food was delicious..
Amazing atmosphere, was served by Andrea who was very welcoming and friendly- couldn’t have hoped for a better place to spend my anniversary :))
Vegetarian options: loads of vegetarian options !
The sizzling pork was so tough it felt like a tile ... you could use it as a weapon
Jasmine tea was good
Dumplings we're hard and did lack flavour
Soup missed seasoning
Chilli oil was nice
