Very expensive. Myself and 3 kids got 3 meals and an extra plain noodle and it cost over £80 And small quantity. My local is half the price and twice as nice.

£50 for 2 course meal for 2 and 2 drinks, value for money it was good. The food was very quick to come out, but was far too sweet for our liking.

What used to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in the North West of the island of Ireland has sadly gone downhill. Dined there on Saturday night, and we were seated promptly - which is unusual, as there is normally a bit of a wait due to the popularity of the spot. Service was fine, but you can tell some of the staff are just waiting for closing time. What really let the place down was the food. Chicken balls that were hard as stones, sauces that were watery rather than gelatinous and a chicken curry that appeared to have been hastily thrown together with pre-cooked chicken and a spoonful of lukewarm sauce thrown over the top. For the price they charged, it was really not worth it. Very disappointing - hopefully they can bring things back on track.

We ordered a take away over the phone and travelled 15 minutes to get it . When we got there we were told they don’t take card over the phone or in the take away and we would need to go get cash. Very very frustrating, as they should have been said on the phone . The food was fine. Nothing spectacular. I ordered a Thai Green beef curry , and it was fine. There was also an order for Chicken curry with no onions or vegetables, and it came with peas . The chips was under cooked too and for the price I’m sure there is better take aways in Derry.

Me and my wife visited last night,food was even below average and was pricey too! Staff guided us wrong that food you ordred will be enough for 2 people but when i got it served it was not even enough for 1 person we had to order extra portion, which they served us uncooked rice bowl. Worst experience ever.

We have eaten at the Mandarin Palace on several trips to Derry, from the US, and always look forward to returning. As always, we had a great meal, drinks and service. We took advantage of their mid-week special of two starters, two mains, and a bottle of wine for 50 Pounds Sterling. Great location on the River Foyle.

We had a takeout on a Wednesday night. It was so disappointing. We have previously eaten in the restaurant so expected a good quality meal however the best compliment I can give is that it was edible. My husband got Prawn with Bkack Bean Sauce and it was watery, my King Prawn Curry was OK but for the price prawns, onion and curry sauce was a let down. We also ordered Vegetable Spring Rolls which were overcooked and tasteless. Overall while we were previously impressed with the sit in restaurant food we won't take a chance on either sit in or takeout again 😔

Pros: lovely staff, good service, nice atmosphere. They're doing a lot of stuff right. Cons: food was poor to middling and shockingly expensive for what it was - a bit of white and fried rice and chicken in sauce. Nearly £20 for a main. For Derry, you need to do a lot better on the food for that price. I am surprised they were so full. I remember the food being better years ago but I would not go back again.

Ordered a takeaway for three. It came at a good time. I put the food out and started to eat when a small black bug came crawling out of the fried rice and ran off the plate which we then killed. I rang in to say about it and was offered a new meal but I didn't want a new meal, I wanted a refund and was told they don't do refunds. They said they would put credit on our next order but I will never eat in or out of this place again. This is the worst hygiene I've ever experienced from a takeaway.

Ordered a takeaway online which was really easy to do and payment was straightforward. Received a message to say delivery would be 45 minutes. I thought it was a bit long but then it was Friday night so could be busy. After 55 minutes I phoned to chase my order and was told it had left and would be with me shortly. A further 10 minutes later (65 minutes) I called again and was told that the orders "had gone crazy" and the driver hadn't left at the time of the previous phonecall however he had left subsequently and should be with me shortly. Food arrived after 70 minutes rather than the quoted 45 minutes. I don't like that other orders had been prioritised over mine, or that I had been told my order had left when it hadn't, and I don't like that when I had paid my money the food hadn't been delivered on time as promised, especially as the time proffered was from the restaurant's end and wasn't divulged until after payment had been made. The food was OK though when it finally arrived. Probably won't use them again.

We went for dinner on a Friday night around 8/9pm. Not too busy, ordered our food and drinks. We were told the angel hair starters would take 20 minutes and we said we'd wait for them, they came out within 10 mins. We wanted to ask for drinks and even with the almost 10 members of staff walking around, we struggled to get the attention of the staff. We finally ordered more drinks and we had to follow up with the staff as we never received them. We received the mains, sweet and sour chicken was a bit bland and we reckon the duck was reheated and it was really fatty. We stopped eating the duck and just ate the chicken, at least that was edible. Nobody came near us to check if the food was okay so we didn't complain until the chicken was finished(we shared). We complained to who we thought was the manager and he just said that we should have said it to him.. If we had staff come over and check about the meal we would have but unfortunately trying to get attention of staff that had no interest in working just wasn't worth it. And then when we went to pay, there was a group of male staff all hanging around the bar laughing loudly. We ended up handing in the bill and leaving. Not an enjoyable experience at all, and a bad start to our holiday in Derry

I would usually give 5 stars to the Mandarin Palace but tonight I was very disappointed and I have only awarded 3 stars. I ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken but was very surprised to find that there were no vegetables or pineapple in the sauce, it was more like a red clear soup. On saying that I have to state that the chicken and the rice were perfect and up to their usual high standards. I know there are shortages of fruit and vegetables at the moment but I dread to think what if there had been a shortage of chicken?

Horrendous, the food was 20 minutes over what we were advised but no big deal at this time of year HOWEVER! When it arrived one of the orders was wrong, all three were congealed like they'd been lying around for a good while before being sent out. They charged £8 each for three specials the first two practically inedible and were dumped the third one after eating two thirds I discovered a piece of slate/tile/stone whatever the hell it was is not intended to be in food whatsoever. First and absolute last time I ever order food from here seriously folks don't waste your money 🤬
