First time using mandarin and I am not going anywhere else again. Absolutely fantastic service, very fast and the best special fried rice and bbq ribs we have ever had. Be aware: cash only.

We've been visiting the Mandarin for quite a few years now and it remains a good place to go for a Chinese meal. The staff are always friendly even when they are busy. The menu is a little smaller than other Chinese establishments but it still has all your favourite meals on there. The portion sizes are spot on with plenty to go round.

Just put 60% of the meals in the food bin. Fast service and would have been reasonably priced if it was well prepared and tasty - but it was not. Tasteless and a waste of money. Lucky that I included a portion of chips as they were good.

Put our order in Sunday evening. Asked the lady who served us how long and she said 15 mins. One hour later still hadn't arrived. It came out 10 mins after this. Got home only to realise my partner's crispy beef was missing, his main meal. Phoned them to say we were on our way back. It was on the counter when I went in cold. Obviously been there for a while. No apology. Got home and heated all meals . The vegetarian chow mein which is supposed to be spicy was no spice at all and I did check when ordering it would be and ordered 3 of them. The rice was tasteless. The crispy beef that was ordered in hot sauce had no heat at all and the sweet and sour sauce watery and a horrible taste. I realise they are busy but that shouldn't compromise the quality of the food. Will never go there again . It was a waste of £33 pounds

Rubbery dried out, dark brown, over cooked noodles and old smelling vegetables. It doesn’t pay to buy food here when it’s just opening for the evening. Bland food and every dish tastes the same, regardless of the choice of “sauce.” Used this takeaway for a long, long time and while locals rave over it, the food is at best average and, depending on what night and what team is on, very poor. Fridays are the worst. Tried to stick with local takeaway but done with this place. Also, prefer places which are not, for some reason, cash only 🤔

Quick warning the takeaway appears to be Cash Only and I had to go for a quick run home to collect some cash that I don't carry anymore. That warning aside the food was absolutely fantastic and the staff very pleasant. However what impressed me most was that they proudly display their collection totals for charities on their walls which I can't tell you enough really makes me want to go there again they don't have to do this they don't have to collect the charity but they do and it is really appreciated and absolutely cool

For what it is, it's really good. It's a no-frills Chinese takeaway with good prices and generous portions who do really tasty battered chicken dishes. The kind of thing most of us grew up with and know and love. It is not an example of gourmet Asian cuisine but I don't think it needs to be.

No estoy seguro de por qué no he revisado aquí antes, considerando los años que venimos al Mandarín. Incluso cuando vivíamos en Caerphilly, aún valía la pena el viaje por la montaña, ¡ya que habíamos tenido algunos más locales dudosos! !El mandarín es bien conocido entre nuestros amigos que siempre están dispuestos a venir y tener uno, ¡especialmente porque ahora estamos a la vuelta de la esquina!¡Nunca tuve problemas con la comida y siempre esperamos una golosina desde aquí!Sí, solo es efectivo, pero hay un cajero en la tienda de al lado, ¡así que no es realmente un problema!

Me había llevado de aquí en dos ocasiones durante el último mes más o menos. En ambas ocasiones, ordenamos en la tienda y la comida estaba preparada y lista para salir puntualmente, incluso un viernes por la noche. La comida estaba muy caliente y a la par con otras comidas para llevar chinas en el norte de Cardiff y en los restaurantes chinos. Al principio fue difícil decidir por adelantado un pedido, ya que no pudimos encontrar un menú en línea, pero ahora he adjuntado fotos de su menú más reciente que tal vez sea útil para otros en el futuro.

Hay una razón simple por la cual el mandarín no ofrece entrega a domicilio. ¡No necesitan hacerlo! ! Si le preguntas a alguien dentro de un radio de 3 millas sobre quién es su comida china favorita y obtendrás la misma respuesta una y otra vez. . "Mandarín". Si tienes la oportunidad, tienes que probar seriamente a estos muchachos. Su pollo al curry es algo más junto con las gambas con champiñones. Comida de alta calidad con precios asequibles. ¿Qué más quieres? ?

Encontramos Casa Mandarin para ser la mejor degustación y con mejor relación calidad-precio de todos los locales que hemos probado, así que nos hemos vuelto 4 o 5 veces desde la primera vez y siempre disfrutamos de la comida. La única pega es que tienes que recoger, ya que no proporcionan el envío, pero aparte de eso está bastante bien!

I used this takeaway a few weeks ago for the first and last time. It is local to me as I have recently moved, had various Chinese dishes one of which contained a well trimed fingernail, I then rang the take away to see if something could be sorted but all I got was please prove it was one of ours. So no customer service at all I would not eat from this takeaway again and certainly would not recommend this takeaway

This is probably our closest Chinese so we go there from time to time. We also like the Great China and Top Oriental. The thing about the Mandarin is that it is really cheap and the food is ready quickly. The only downside is that there menu is a little limited with few starters. They also don't do King Prawns in batter which happens to be one of my favourite dishes.
