Mandarin House in Cheshire East

Amazing food, amazing service, Matilda needs a pay rise, I've never seen anyone work so hard in my life, she's a human machine with a lovely personality! A lovely front face to a lovely and hard working business!

We have had food for a number of years from the establishment. We ordered yesterday and it was not very good at all. The rice dish was always excellent this one wasn’t ! The main meals were ‘ok’ but not the usual taste - very disappointed!

Such lovely staff, welcoming, helpful and most importantly the food is amazing. The salt and pepper bean curd tonight was mind blowingly (is that a word?!) nice

I’ve been looking for a decent Chinese in Macclesfield for ages now, after speaking with people about where is best etc, 90% of people I spoke to said this place. I can honestly say after ordering roughly £60 worth, it was the freshest and best Chinese I’ve had in Macclesfield for years. Place is 10/10 let’s hope it can keep the quality up, as I’ve not had a ‘bad batch’ yet

Update September 2024: The new management of Mandarin House are friendly welcoming and still do fabulous fresh and zingy Vegetarian Singapore Noodles. Excellent portion size and lovely extra broccoli as requested by myself. Mandarin House has a fantastic menu of delicious Chinese and Asian food, expertly cooked by Margaret and her team. Always friendly service and Margaret will ensure dishes are cooked exactly how you like them, including if you have allergies. The Singapore Noodles are delicious and chilli ribs totally moreish. Great food great prices can get busy at weekends but it's worth it

August 2024 - the portion sizes have decreased in size. The mix if differing ingredients has been reduced, and the chicken in the sweet and sour balls is much reduced, with more batter than chicken. First review - This place was very good, but the last three time I've ordered from here the food has been bad, very bad. With burnt noodles, under cooked fried rice and meat protions sizes much reduced. Real shame its gone down hill.

Not as good as before unfortunately 🤷🏻‍♂️

Update 2024: I have seen various posts across platforms recently that suggest people have not realised that Margaret no longer operates this business. She doesn't, and hasn't since early 2024, so if you are no longer as happy as you were, this is not down to Margaret. Original Review: Great food, good prices and Margaret is a gem... A truly lovely lady.

Absolutely the best Chinese take away in Macclesfield. The destination for all celebrations. The staff are very welcoming 😸

Have had takeaways from here for years , had gone down after last few visits , but tonight's dinner was inedible,, . And Margaret was away , so sorry Margaret, x

First time of going to Mandarin but was working in Macclesfield very friendly and welcoming staff the food myself and colleague ordered were piping hot and tasty will definitely be back thank you for the free cans of 7 up ! 🚑🚑🚑

Visited for the first time and we were not disappointed. Friendly, welcoming and quick service. And the food was excellent, the portions substantial and very reasonably priced. The salt and chilli chips were amazing.

Fabulously fresh, hot, tasty food prepared here, the lovely Margaret always smiling...we won't go anywhere else... please try this take away it is a small family run business and the family work extremely hard to make the best food in town

Brilliant take away. The proprietor is fantastic always pleasant and remembers a name. Always good food at a competitive price too! (Can always ask.for extra crackers and they will give it too you for free :))

Really friendly staff tasty food

Gorgeous food. Lovely owner. Friendly and excellent quality both in the Takeaway and Food. Always like to eat from here when staying at our Son's house.

Great food and nice service, but the goldfish in the tiny tiny tank is the saddest and cruelest thing. Please get a bigger fish tank or let them go to somewhere that has the space for them before I buy from you again :) Take notice people.

Sets the standard for tasty oriental cooking. Stunning. very generous owner.

Fantastic Chinese. Came here a few times when I was staying in Macclesfield for a month. Great quality tasty food. Would highly recommend!!

Another fantastic takeaway from The Mandarin House tonight. SO much choice, SO tasty, huge portions!! The friendly brilliant service is second to none! I even received a birthday gift!!! Very grateful.

4.8 stars? Best Chinese takeaway in Macclesfield? Really? As a visitor I dread to think what the others are like … a very ropey takeaway … two stars because the lady on the till was good value … first time I’ve ever had a special chow mien with spam in it!!!

I was visiting the area with my partner, we decided to have a chinese and based on the reviews we chose the Mandarin House. The food was outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend this place. 👌

Food was just not as good as expected

This is the best Chinese takeaway in Macclesfield, in my opinion. Eaten from here many times, the food has always been excellent. Just finished another meal and it was great as always. Try the smoked chicken.

Perfect service, popping hot, clean kitchen, friendly front of house and quality food. Will be back!

Salt and chilli chicken Omg Best Chinese in macc Shout out to Margaret

The staff are very friendly. The food is traditional Cantonese/Chinese style, make me feel like eating in my home town HK. Food prepare in reasonable time and good quality, very recommended. 店主非常親切,知道我地來自香港有問我地近況. 食物水準良好,可以係英國食到香港既味道非常滿足,價錢合理,等候時間唔長,值得推薦

We visited to pick up an order for my sister’s birthday. The lady who helped us was exceptionally friendly and even gave us a free gift! The food was all delicious and our vegetarian orders were bagged separately, which is very thoughtful. We will definitely be back soon!

Excellent food and speedy service, plus consistently good every visit, highly recommended.

Excellent takeaway, always very efficient and the food is a treat!

Amazing tasty food and fabulous service!!! I can not recommend Margret enough she’s hilarious and looks after the local community and our emergency services so well with her excellent food and hilarious sense of humour 🚑🚑🚑

Love the food here my new Chinese takeaway place 🙂

Lovely food, good size portions, & excellent service from the lovely staff. Cards & cash taken. Recommended.

The food was very yummy, at an affordable price and was ready in 10 minutes to pick up after I ordered. When I got there the lady was very polite and lovely to talk to. Definitely put a smile on my face. I will definitely be ordering from here again.

Food great, very pleasant and friendly. Thank you

Just visiting Macclesfield, looking for a good Chinese Restaurant, came across the Mandarin House, settled for set menu for 1, was allowed to change main course. Excellent quality food, good value & lovely owners, will be back!!!?

Tried a variety of dishes for a large family party, we were not disappointed. Spare ribs and vermicelli in particular were very good, we will definitely be back.

Friendly staff, standard Chinese fayre.

Such a friendly owner and good food

Amazing food Amazing service Amazing owner

Lovely staff, lovely food......I'll be back..

We had a really enjoyable meal tonight. There is so much choice and the food was excellent. We would definitely recommend The Mandarin House.

Best takeaway Chinese food in Macc with fast and efficient service

We chose Mandarin House for our 'first night of holiday' takeaway based on their top food hygiene rating. We were not disappointed. The lady behind the counter was very friendly and the food was honestly probably the best Chinese takeaway I've ever had. It wasn't too greasy or salty, just delicious. Would happily recommend them and return again next time we're in the area.

Best chinese in macc. Friendly. Great food. On gritstone trail. Gave us extra forks and spoons. Thank you. ❤

Another delicious takeaway, always fantastic and such great service.

Great food as always, but this special curry was something else. As an added bonus the time i had to wait was exactly what they said, Great Chinese

Can get a Cantonese chicken and king prawn sweet and sour with been sprout noodles for just £10! To me thats blooming good these days

Quick friendly service and great food!

A beautiful meal to complete our visit to the area, and it was only around the corner. Having read the Google reviews about this establishment, we were looking forward to meeting Margaret and we were not disappointed! She even took our order over the phone in a friendly way, and on collection of our order she was kind and charming. The food was as good as we’ve ever had - it always seems unfair to compare with your favourite place at home, but this did well. I would happily travel out of my way to eat from here again. Very, very happy. Thanks!

I came across the Mandarin while working in the area recently. Food was delicious and portions very generous. Margaret behind the counter is charming and funny. Worth a visit just to meet Margaret. Best Chinese in the area. Will definitely return if back in the area.

Food is great, good price and Margaret is the nicest person ever.

Quality Duck cooked to order. Intelligent conversation. 5 stars

First take out from Mandarin. I can honestly say it is properly the best Chinese take out I’ve ever had. Food ready on time, nice and hot, lots of it and very reasonably priced. A outstanding yes from me

Best chineese takeaway in town 😋

Amazing food always cooked to perfection.

Best Chinese Take Away in Town - can only recommend.

Really nice food. Love the bbq ribs no sauce and lemon. This was very new to me but delicious. Lovely staff

100% possibility. If I would recommend an establishment this WOULD be it! seriously eatllutiful lady. There is NO OTHER venue! Xx

Takeways are a godsend during lockdown, and there a very few better than this one. Excellent chinise quisine and not overpriced.

We love this place! Great food, warm welcome, lovely staff and value for money

Margaret always serves the best Chinese

First visit for our takeaway tonight, was DELICIOUS, so tasty, great service, certainly can recommend. Can't wait to return. Thankyou.

Salt & chilli chips, delicious! 😍

Amazing food! Huge portions and fast service, would highly recommend

Friendly and food is delicious. 👏👏

Food is quality and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful the best Chinese takeaway in Macclesfield without a doubt

Great food Margaret is a rock !

Classic Chinese food, well cooked in usual tuppaware, with reasonable prices and lovely service. Would recommend for anyone in central Macc.

Very nice food and made very quickly

Always amazing food here Margaret is always so nice and friendly

For the money and quality the mandarin has to be the best takeaway in Macclesfield big portions and even better prices

Nice food, good portions, produce the food in the time they tell you when ordering. Good vegetarian options and friendly staff. Not much more I can ask for really.

Very fortunate to live close to this outstanding chinese restaurant. Duck. pineapple and plumb sauce. Very nice and not over priced.

As I say in my opening title this really is the best.It gets very busy at weekends and telephone orders are recommended. The quality and presentation of the fresh (cooked when ordered) food is the best around.

Great food with friendly staff.

My favourite chines takeaway. Fast, friendly service, yet food still very good quality. Beware, can be incredibly busy at weekends.

We love the food and Margaret x

Very nice food. Freshly prepared. I enjoyed it very much. Very pleasant staff. I'd definitely recommend this place

Nice and friendly owner 5 star food I would recommend to all

Can't fault food or service definitely recommend , it's got to be best in Macclesfield by far

Seriously good food and wonderful helpful people who really do care 😍

Quick friendly service, and the food tastes great too

Lovely food, friendly staff. Great take a way

100% the best takeaway in town. Amazing friendly staff. Love this place.

Good food and fronted by the lovely Margret. Its really difficult to imagine a better takeaway than this. But beware very busy Friday Saturday evenings.

love Mandarin house & their superb service ... I don't understand the review below as i didn't think Mandarin house do delivery .... food is great even if we always have chicken fried rice & curry sauce lol 👌

We ordered our food at 18:48 it’s now 20:30! I rang at 7:30 mandarin house advise me we were the next one to be delivered! 20:05 I called again and advised me that our food has just left the shop! 20:27 I rang and I said this is silly I would like a refund as it’s been nearly under 2 hours for food and that I do not fancy one now! The women on the phone said that she did not speak to myself at 20:05 and called a customer a Lier! When I kindly ask for a refund she shouted at me and said WHAT ABOUT MY FOOD! refused to give me a refund of over £40 and hung the phone on myself! I called back and said this is not the way to handle a business and to speak to customers the way they have! Still refusing to give refund! 20:40 still no delivery!

The staff was so nice and friendly

Mandarin house is without a doubt the best Chinese takeaway in Macclesfield! Margret is the most loveliest lady and the service she provides is second to none-from her lovely gifts at Christmas to her Chinese tea remedies when your poorly, could go on and on! Her staff members are lovely also! Amazing service and amazing food. Couldn’t possibly find anything negative to say- always look forward to our Saturday night Chinese xxx

Not very impressed with service or food

Enjoyed a really nice vegetarian takeaway from here, the food was great and reasonably priced. Margaret is so lovely can’t fault the service!

Best Chinese takeaway in Macclesfield.Superb food and brilliant service...Thank you Margaret and the guys.

The food is good and the staff is very friendly

Best Chinese takeaway in macclesfield bar none. Every meal, every time is excellent - fresh, hot and tasty. Margaret is always smiling and welcoming. Only downside is that they don’t deliver, but it’s well worth the drive!!!

Lovely freshly cooked chinese food. Lovely owners Great prices Our usual place for a well earned feast Parking isn't usually an issue Cash only but can make a telephone order first.

Nice food and quick however prawn toast wasn’t the nicest and quite rubbery. Chicken in OK sauce was good and the salt and chilli ribs :) good portion sizes too

Never been disappointed by the food here and it is very good value with very generous portion sizes.

Always gorgeous Chinese from mandarin house. Margret and her staff are always so lovely and welcoming and off the menu requests are made no problem. From adding free starters ect with our orders to lovely gifts at Christmas and Chinese New Year, also my son particularly loves the lolly pops he gets if he ever comes to collect our order with us-no wonder mandarin house is always busy- best Chinese and service around

Great food great service from the lovely Margaret
