Mandarin Chinese Restaurant in Hillingdon

Good Ambeince and friendly staffs!

First time to Mandarin Northwood and we are impressed.will be back soon.

Very enjoyable evening. Good value and we shall return.

Really good food. Hot and sour soup, chicken satay and hot and sour soup was really good.

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

Excellent tasty dishes, full of flavour. Attentive and friendly staff. A local Gem

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!

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.

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.

Ordered vegetarian takeaway and must say it was the worst food Chinese food we've ever eaten ! Tasteless sauces, limp vegetables and lots of garlic with no flavour. Never going back.

We had a lovely meal tonight, our first time after seeing the restaurant on instagram, we wanted to give it a try. The manager was so welcoming and helpful and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. The restaurant was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean and all the food was fresh and tasty. We will definitely be returning!

Amazing atmosphere, was served by Andrea who was very welcoming and friendly- couldn’t have hoped for a better place to spend my anniversary :))

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

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.

Great food, love the quality, only draw back is sometimes slow getting the food, but today was fone

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..

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

The sizzling pork was tough as hell

I usually base only a small fraction of my ratings on the quantity of the food. However, the portion sizes at this restaurant are particularly low, especially given the prices. As a result, it couldn't achieve a top rating of four or five stars. While the taste of the food is average, the interiors are quite impressive and create a mysterious, late-night dinner atmosphere. The service was commendable; the staff are friendly and positive. Considering that this is a Chinese restaurant, (not just a chinese cuisine, but is chinese themed, overall)  as suggested by its name, I would appreciate a deeper cultural immersion. It would be wonderful to see a bit more of Chinese culture and its origins reflected in the experience. For eg, including short descriptions below iconic dishes that explain their origin or relate to Chinese traditions would bring it to a top level rating.

Really, really delicious food and perfect portions. Staff were super attentive.

Service was great and so was the food

The food was amazing and the staff are so kind and welcoming. Great value for money

Great atmosphere, amazing service and great food. Really enjoyed the mixed hors d'oeure

Try chilli beef, delicious. Great restaurant, very kind staff

Amazing atmosphere and lovely food thank you

One of the best meal and ambiance place in north wood hills zone # Mandarin Restaurant .. where we found all asian dishes and delicious food @ amazing ambiance and perfect service …. Believe to serve a quality food with perfect taste ….

Very good place and food fantastic

A very nice ambience to try a new Chinese cuisine

Lovely dining experience. Very clean, relaxing ambient atmosphere. We had a nice chat with the owner Poona who served us. The food is freshly cooked, light and tasty. Definitely coming back again! Glad they kept the 50 year old mother of pearl wall art.

Lovely food and great service every time!

Great food. Great service. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

Food very tasty, but not a lot in the portion size, lovely staff as well

Friendly, polite staff. Great food. Great service, didn't have to wait long for our food. The restaurant is clean and well decorated. Would recommend.

Tasty food and a relaxed atmosphere. Open again with a clean and chilled environment. Will visit again.

Food, drinks, service and ambience was lovely. Would dine again.

I really like coming to this restaurant once in a month

Great little Chinese restaurant beautifully decorated with friendly staff the food was amazing definitely recommend this place had a variety of dishes and everything was spot on even the chef came out and asked how was the food 😋

Highly recommend is know my favourite Chinese 😎

This is my first time trying this restaurant and i will come again for sure

Amazing food. The quality is very good. The service is amazing and very friendly. I will definitely go again. I highly recommend it.

I really luck crispy duck from this restaurant

this is my favourite place whenever i have to meet my friends very calm and friendly staff. i highly recommend this place for family and friends

Food is amazing I always likes to come here with my friends to spend some quality time

I often come to this restaurant, the food is amazing as well as the staff. It's really good for dinner with friends and family

Great restaurant, great food. Service was quick and staff were super friendly. So happy to have discovered this place and will definitely be returning.

Amazing food and wonderful service. They even surprised me with a birthday cake. 😍😍

The food is very nice Atmosphere is very good Friendly staff Nice service

Good food, good service and usually very quiet. Good place to come and chill a bit.

Food wasn’t edible because it was covered in spilled sauce

There are much better options in this area for Chinese food. Every dish was below par in one way or another. I would not recommend using this restaurant. Even with a 40% discount it’s poor value.

Good food. Threw in a free beer too, which was a nice surprise.

Excellent food, will be back. Just two prawns in the Tom Yum Prawn Soup is a bit mean though. Otherwise excellent.

Had a brilliant time in Mandarin for dinner this evening. My husband and I enjoyed the food, especially the tofu in black bean sauce! The service was also perfect. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed every dish that we ordered. Never ever eat left overs but the next day it still tasted as good and delicious

I placed order through deliveroo. The order was placed at 18:40 the order was ready at 20:00 ... over an hour to get the food ready seems ridiculous. To top it off the order was wrong. Egg fried rice came with prawns which I'm highly allergic to. The quality of the food was very poor and tasteless. Vegetable chow mein had 5 pieces of vegetables at most. I paid £65 for takeaway which took nearly 2hrs and for food that tasted like frozen asda dishes. I ordered many times from Mandarin and also dined in and it seems that the food gets worse and worse each time. Will not be ordering or dinning in again. I recommend for others to do the same.

Delivered on time and was delicious

A rather strange experience all in all. Positives: the staff were friendly enough and the restaurant itself is clean and a really pleasant space to sit and eat in. I also really enjoyed the salt and pepper chicken. Negatives: no alcohol-free beer options at all (which seems unusual in 2024), really (!) soggy/spongy batter on the sweet and sour chicken balls, plastic plates, no knives on the table (why?) and a side of curry sauce so big that three of us only managed half of it. This feels like a local family trying to capitalise on a lack of good Chinese restaurants in the area but sadly missing the mark. I can’t see myself returning for seconds.

First time eating here - there were 4 of us. Went for mothers day. The dishes we chose were all great, tasty and decent portion sizes. The only negative thing was hot plates were brought out and by the time the food came, the plates were cold. That said, I would come back. Good value.

It's always a pleasure to eat from here ,great food, good customer service,definitely recommend

Food was delicious, especially the starters! Been a while since I had good Chinese food. However, portions are smaller than I hoped and can be a little pricy.

Amazing food, great service! We will be back

I dine in Mandarin regularly, I love the ambiance, the food and the service. I keep going like I am addicted. I have not used their take out service. My favourite dish is sizzling scallop in black bean sauce with rice, it’s a dish that must be tried for those who appreciate scallops. I don’t find the exclusivity of serving scallops in other Chinese Restaurant. Everything I have tried so far is brilliant. I thank the Chef and Andrea, who is the lady that serves me, she is Indeed, welcoming and friendly

The food service is good and the staff members are cooperative with customers. The inside view of the restaurant is peaceful of mind.

We ordered a delivery through Just Eat from Mandarin, Very Disappointed! I've eaten from here before a while back admittedly and it was great, but this time I was shocked at how disappointing it was, the crispy chilli Beef wasn't crispy, it was chewy and had so much chilli in it, it wasn't nice, it lost its taste, and I don't mind a bit of heat, but this was silly! The Chicken balls were soggy and came with a small pot of cold sweet and sour sauce, the only thing that was decent was the egg fried rice; which was nice! Needless to say, we shall be going back to our usual Chinese!!!

First time I've ever received half cooked rice from an asian restaurant. Salt and chilli chips were also undercooked and very small portion. We had to finish cooking them before eating which defeated the purpose of ordering a takeaway. We also ordered sweet and sour chicken balls (average) and fried chicken with chilli and salt (lovely flavour) Restaurant took so long to prepare multiple that Deliveroo drivers dropped the order.

When i ordered food i was on student visa, but when my food came my visa got expired coz it took good 4 hours! Wallahi

Really good food, really recommend

Unfortunately, we ordered food on deliveroo and we waited nearly 2 hours for it. We did not even receive the food as the order was cancelled.

I have visited the restaurant couple of times and the food is delicious as well as the service is very good. Staff is very humble. Overall its feel really good eating in there.

Went in for our wedding anniversary on New Year’s Eve. The wait for food was far too long and when it arrived we had to ask for cutlery. Clearly the restaurant couldn’t cope and was only half full but the worst thing was the Uber/just eat/ deliveroo drivers standing in the restaurant waiting for their orders. Had to leave half way through the meal.

ALl the food was really good, although the hot & sour soup was spicier than we expected.

Faultless. Attentive staff, quality food, hassle free.

Really good food and Atmosphere!

On a weekday, in the restaurant it wasn't busy but had to wait for bit longer than I thought for food. Portions were decent size but they are a bit expensive. Food was tasty and seemed good quality. However the worst thing was the restaurant was very very cold, this made it very uncomfortable, thought about keeping my coat one and a friend actually did! Can only assume its the heating bills they're avoiding. This made the food go cold quickly. Not sure I'd go again and if I did would be the summer!

Not over impressed with the food

Food was enjoyable however 1 item was missing

Never enough sauce so stingy but food was good

Food was quite oily and caused abdominal discomfort. Service was quite slow also.

The food was short of items Rather disappointed on this occasion

Asked for xtra sauce as it comes with hardly none and got basically nothing

The service was great specially one lady in particular. I think her name was PUNA. She was amazing host. She prepared food according to our dietary requirements. Food was lovely. The ambience was great and beautiful restaurant . I recommend best Chinese locally with great hospitality and clean restaurant.

My order arrived half an hour late!! Really sad because the quality would have been 5 star. It was all could, some of it I microwaved, but things like spring rolls and crispy chilli beef go soggy when reheated so we ate them cold. Takeaway is a massive treat at the moment with everything being so expensive, so shouldn’t have to except bad service!

I first tried the food at mandarin Northwood and the food was so spot on that I have been going back ever since at-least once a week. I was gobsmacked when I saw the menu they have such a big variety. Their food is freshly cooked, very tasty and well presented. The owners/employees were really friendly, attentive and service overall was excellent.I would highly recommend anyone reading this to go and experience some proper Chinese/Cantonese food hands down.highly recommend their popular peking spare ribs so meaty and juicy followed by sesame prawn toasts so much fillings and crispy aromatic duck so meaty as well Singapore rice noodle,special fried rice,beef ginger spring onions chowmine,beef black been sauce,chicken yellow been sauce,shredded chili beef,shredded smoke chicken and chips chilli and salt . Great food can’t fault anything . See you soon again

One of the best meals I have had. The staff were so lovely, welcoming and friendly. The portion sizes were a good size and the fish was delicious

Very disappointed with food quality.

Had a lovely dinner date with my husband at Mandarim and did not disappoint. The food was delicous and the service was brilliant as the lady who served us was very friendly and tentative. Highly recommend this place.

Food was delicious and arrived really hot. Will definitely order from here again.

Tasty food , pleasant atmosphere and service with the smile , will definitely return .

My order never showed. Not a reflection on Mandarin… it’s 100% a Just Eat problem.

Food expensive and portions tiny

Super small portion and too expensive

This place has gone downhill. Everything I ordered was sweet and cold. I am feeling so sick and disappointed as was craving Chinese

10/10 quality on the food , lovely customer service would defo be coming back again. Restaurant beautifully decorated inside.
