Opinions de Mandarin Chef Apple Valley
It's real the best I have not found one like this since I was a kid 💯
The food was very good the people were very nice the are so good Definitely will come back
Nice, quiet place, friendly staff. We're happy to have good Chinese food on this side of town!
Sweet staff. Great food. Nice and quiet. Accommodates our large family of 9.
Wonton was great! Fluffy steamed rice. Fresh and hot dishes well cooked. Zesty orange chicken.!
Great food and prices. I wished I came sooner. Also we got a little lesson on the eating habits of the Chinese people.
Not your typical high desert Asian food more like quality Orange County the facility was clean and neat the staff was very helpful and considerate I would recommend this facility for lunch or dinner to anyone that truly enjoys Mandarin food
Very good food, small mom and pop feeling, had a great meal, i will be coming more often.
I love this place, thr food is authentic and delicious and the staff treat you like family.
They have great food and a nice relaxing atmosphere. The staff is very helpful. If you want real Chinese food and great prices, this is the place for you.
Excellent food, excellent service, excellent everything. I highly recommend this place. I haven't had anything yet that I didn't love!
My daughter and I had lunch there today! The food was wonderful and the service was great! Will definitely eat there again.
Delicious, authentic food 😋 😍 We had the szechuan style eggplant and the deluxe chowfun. Not a lot of places serve eggplant so it was a treat.
Great food. The chow fun and the curry were both very tasty. Must try. They even have lunch specials during the weekdays.
Really cool place and it’s family owned and they’re really nice!
I think this was the first time I've ordered from them any amount of food and it was really good and fresh I will go back again
Good food, great prices and friendly service... We definitely found our new spot for Chinese food.
Very good Chinese food and every one is nice and consider most of all the atmosphere is very special to me there son Hosu gives me VIP service i tell everyone about this restaurant they get a 5 STAR😁
Great food! A little pricy but well worth it and incredibly fresh. Will return again soon!
7 months working in the desert. This is by far, very far, the best lunch I have had in the Mojave. This place is a gem. I will be back!
Very authentic Chinese food. Haven't been anywhere in the High Desert that can out cook this restaurant. This place is highly recommended if you want REAL Chinese food.
The food always seems to be good and the service is always exceptional. The people that work there have always been very nice when we go in there
Best Chinese food hands down ... great lunch specials.. great service.... awesome people... highly recommend you give them a try
Great eating experience. The staff is friendly and attentive. The meals are delicious. The resturant is very clean. I had the mangolian beef with fried rice, my wife had the sweet and sour chicken (food is prepared with love and not a fast food type of place). I recommend this resturant to everyone.
Really good food, customer service, respectful and overall real house warming environment. Highly recommend this diner you won’t be disappointed 💯👌🏽
Excellent food. Owners and Chef take care of your needs. They even prepared a special dessert plate for my sister's birthday! Awesome place!
First time me and both of my sons ate there If you never ate there before I highly recommend this place The food quality 100% tasted like they freshly picked the vegetables from the garden the meat very high-quality I wasn’t disappointed with anything I ordered both my sons were 100% satisfied with their food my older son went back for seconds from what he served himself Thank you for the great quality food and the great customer service definitely be going back and when my daughter comes up from Vegas I’m taking her there
Out of boredom, we decided to try something new for dinner. Wife and Kids are all extremely picky. Take out only during Rona but I was pleasantly surprised that everyone of us loved it. It will be out new local China spot. Panda is garbage, this is gold.
The food is always fresh and of quality. The service is great!!! More people should visit 🥰
This place is great. Always fresh food and the service is awesome. I Tell everyone about the HD hidden gem. We always come back. Oh and the beer is cold!
My mother and I went to Mandarin Chef together and we really enjoyed ourselves. The place is so nice and you would think the prices would be pricey because of the elegant surroundings. But no!! The prices are so cheap!! Looking for something different this is the place to go 👌👌
Delicious authentic food! The people are very nice and the food is super fresh. All of my kids love this place. This is our go to place for Chinese. We haven't had one dish that we didn't like. The cumin chicken is the best!
Coworkers and I love this place. The staff try really hard to be nice and provide good service. Lunch specials are an excellent price for the food offered. We keep coming back. Dinner prices are a little expensive so we usually visit for lunch.
Mandarin Chef is the most authentic Asian restaurant in town and it's definitely the best by far! The staff is incredibly sweet, the prices are reasonable, and the food is delicious. We love the salt and pepper spare ribs and the cumin chicken, but everything on the menu is delicious! It is sad that most of the truly great Asian restaurants in town always seems to close but I hope this one stays forever!
I went with my mom, her wife, and her mom when they came to visit. We came around 7pm, so there was barely anybody there, which is what i prefer anyway. Mom got some kind of lamb, step mom got dumplings, I got beef fried rice, and grandma just got tea. The menu was extensive, with a LOT of options, and the server was very kind and able to make accommodations for stepmom. The food was fantastic, and got there pretty fast. The tea was great, and they left the teapot there for you to serve your own tea in a tiny teacup. The portions were so good we had to take leftovers home! Overall great experience, will be visiting again very soon.
A very nice family friendly restaurant. We have been eating there for years, always satisfied with its various of yummy dishes. My husband likes its beef dishes, I like its shrimp and chicken dishes. Also, the hot and sour soup is my favorite soup. When we had relatives coming in town, we always took them to Mandarin Chef for delicious Chinese food.
Oh my! Excellent food!!!!! Come here! Great prices, excellent food!
The food was super delicious. Everything tasted fresh and came out warm. I don’t really understand why the place is so empty considering the food is good. One thing I will say is that the atmosphere felt a little outdated but if you are looking for tasty Chinese food than this place is a great pick.
My family and I ate here for the first time tonight. We were warmly greeted and sat immediately. We decided on the dinner special. Which comes with one egg roll, one paper wrap chicken, your choice of rice, wonton soup and a main dish that you get to choose for only $17.95! We went with the Beef & Broccoli and the Sweet & Sour Pork! Omg we were not disappointed!!! Each dish had sooo much flavor!!! The portions for each were large enough to share with our two kiddos and we had leftovers to bring home! I can’t believe we’ve never tried this place before! We’ll definitely go back and try something new! The server was quiet but efficient and kind! I would definitely reccomend this place!!!
My #1 favorite. The food is so flavorful and delicious, cooked by someone who knows how to cook and cares that you enjoy it. The service is the personification of hospitality. They make dining there a special occasion for me every time. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I love the Mandarin Chef, on every count, in every way they are the best!!!
For what you pay for, the portion sizes are humongous and taste absolutely amazing. I recommend their fried rice if you want a ton of food for cheap. The staff is normally pretty good, just have a little bit of confusion with the servers, but everything got through correctly. Just a great atmosphere, and never terribly busy. If you want some Quick, Cheaper, Good food, come here.
I absolutely love their orange chicken it’s the best I’ve ever had. Lots of flavor and best ingredients.
I give you 5 stars,only because some of these reviews are unfair. Who gives 2 stars because she thinks food was bought outside the establishment. I'm sure she never had chili's before ( dried up ) they come dried up lady, it's for flavor. A 2 star because they were nice? That's a automatic 3 star. Service is an extra and last but not least the food. Your food was bland ? They have a salt shaker on the table I'm sure. I never been to this restaurant but yet again you can't please everyone and bashing or giving low rated scores on a business does send out a message to everyone reading it. She's been wanting to go there ? So I'm assuming she's not from the high desert so she has that nit picking style and unruly rated a business. I'm sure she does not have a business and so easy to drop a negative cause if she did have a business she would have reconsidered her rating. Further more. She walked into thus establishment and everyone was nice. I'm sure they delivered her food on time and not wait for hours like others complained. Nothing wrong with the prices cause that wasn't mentioned. The place is clean I'm assuming because it wasn't mentioned The food was bland, that's all. Pick the salt up and shake it. Can't make everyone happy. Its just not her taste. 5 reasons, 5 🌟. She should have gave them 4 stars. But a 2 star ? Her reviews on her entirety of Google are all bullshi....
Tried it for the first time today and I gotta say it was quite delicious! The food was seasoned very well and all our dishes were consistently tasty. Service was really good and the atmosphere was nice (quiet but comfy). We will definitely be coming back!
This was my first visit here and I was happily surprised! Very nice service and the food was absolutely terrific! I was afraid to go out on mother's day but this place was not crowded. Seems to be more of a take out restaurant but dining in was just delightful! So happy to have found this restaurant!
Wow!! My husband and I are always out trying different restaurants which one's are good or not so good. The Mandarin chef is absolutely one of the best oriental restaurants we have ever tasted. The helpings are very large proportion. Never finish it all before I get too full. Sue runs the cash register and is the son of the cook always ready and there to answer any questions we ask. Father always comes out to check on us to see if our food was good extremely wonderful family. I definitely would recommend Mandarin chef to anybody that wants great oriental food. Thank you Mandarin chef. 😊
First time eating here and will most definitely be back again! The waitress was attentive and very kind and you could tell she really cared about providing the best service to customers. The food was excellent and portions for what you pay were great! Ended up being only $45 for our family of 4 and had left overs to take home.
My wife and I love this place. We've done both dine in and take out. The selection is very large. I always have too many things that I want to try! We never have to wait long for food once we order. And the food always arrives hot. Phoning in takeout orders is easy also. And the food is ready for pickup in 10-15 minutes. Would highly recommend giving this place a try if you like Chinese. One side note: they are closed on Mondays
Do yourself a favor and come eat here! This Chinese food is amazing. The portions are generous and the price is very reasonable. I haven't had orange chicken this delicious and authentic in years. The chow mein is probably the best I've ever had. I will definitely be coming back to this spot. Thank you for the delicious meal!
Service was amazing and friendly, best part was the food! Best Chinese I’ve had up here in the high desert area. Second visit and tried new dishes and definitely was yummy! Highly recommend!
Hard to find nothing but Chinese FAST food instead of a real Chinese food joint so it’s crazy I’ve driven past this place a million times assuming it was fast food, until I noticed online it’s not fast food like Panda Express, 🙄 so I decided to check it out today. Ordered egg foo yung & deluxe fried rice. Rice tasted horrible like old oil was used. Took it back & owner was so nice, remade it & it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Restaurant is very cozy and clean! Thank you so much for making it right. I highly recommend eating here. Egg Foo yung delicious hands down! I’ll BE BACK!!! Yummy. Everything tastes good
We stopped by the evening before Thanksgiving and had a great time with amazing food. Our service was excellent, they are always so fun and kind. We look forward to trying new dishes every time.
Great food and service. This was our first time there and we were very pleased. We even ordered Singapore rice noodles which is not on the menu and they accommodated us and made it. The portions were large, food was fresh and delicious. We ended up going back a week later for the 2nd time because we just wanted to get more yummy Chinese food. This is one of the more authentic Chinese food places we've found in the high desert.
2/1/2025 My family and I are customers of this restaurant now for many years. Oh we relocated up here 8 years ago from the South Bay Area and had a great difficult time trying to find a restaurant that served good Chinese food until we came here. I just took the time to scroll down through all of the reviews to see what the negative comments were. You can't please everyone but they sure do manage to please most people. 😊👍💞 I think the only thing I would change would be the decor because when you pull up in the parking lot it looks like the place is closed and that is the main reason that we did not go in for a very long time because we thought it was an abandoned building. I think if they brightened up those windows that it would attract people's attention and they would definitely get a lot more business because it's not the food and it's not the staff that make it quiet in there. And all the years I've been going there I've never had bad food or bad service and I have some very picky children that are young adults and have sophisticated pallets and everybody's always been pleased. I would say if you're on the fence about this place to definitely go in and the young man that works there is extremely patient and answers questions so far away ask about the menu and try things that look good because it most likely will be delicious! *Update* Just want everyone to know that as ofJuly2024 this is my favorite Chinese restaurantAnd I come here any chance I can. You just can't beat the value and the food is just wonderful so is the service. I recommend the sweet and sour chicken or pork and I also recommend getting the dinners for two or more with the shareable appetizers which are absolutely wonderful and the soups are amazing as well Bon Appetit everyone!!!!!💞💞💞💞💞 I ate here before covid and loved it. I kept watching and waiting for it to reopen. Finally got back in and wow! So good! We ordered the dinners; broccoli with mushrooms and oyster sauce and sweet and sour chicken. Dinners came with a delicious appetizer tray and soup. We had enough left over for us to take home and have another meal. Don't let the dark blinds fool you. Go inside and enjoy!
House Special pan fried noodle sizzling plate was great, vegetables fresh. The egg rolls and wonton soup are the best!
this place was absolutely AMAZING and has no reason to be as empty as it was. service was amazing and fast and food was great. will be coming back 10/10
This is a great old fashioned family restaurant, the food was delicious, excellent service 100% recommend
The food is really good and they serve it to you really fast, the wait time is very short. The menu is pretty cheap for the amount of food you get so your not hurting your wallet. If I had to not pick one thing it is that they don't have fountain drinks
First time trying this place with my husband and 2 daughters. We ordered 4 dishes and it was more than enough to share with each other. We even took a full box to go. All of the seasoning was on point.. and the portions were on the big side. 25. Teriyaki beef sizzling plate C30. Cumin chicken 98. Fried rice deluxe 101. Bar-b-q pork chow mein
Great food! Staff are attentive & kind.

I came into the restaurant and the place looked nice not only that the staff was super friendly. It was my first ever time in there and they recommended me to the barbecue pork chow mein. That was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had absolutely delicious. I knew it was gonna be good Because when I got into my car, it smelled amazing. 1000 Percent will be coming back and recommending to friends and family
The best Chinese food I’ve had in a while. Each plate had its own distinctive flavor to it. 10 out of 10. I highly recommend this place!!!
Really good food everything is good I always go for the wor wonton soup

Good service, very friendly staff, great food. Do not sit on west side of dining room in late afternoon, very warm in summer.
1st time at this restaurant very clean and the food was great. Way better than Panda Express and Golden Chopstix.
Good food. Fast service. Decent place for a first date. Not very busy.
The food was pretty good. I had the scallops as well as wonton soup. I attached photos. The noodles were a little too thick for my liking in the wonton soup but the scallops were delicious.
My first visit to Mandarin Chef was a positive experience. We found excellent service, enjoyable food presentation, and large portions with small luncheon prices. We look forward to return visits.
I came in for the lunch special which has quite a good variety to choose from, prices were decent and the portions of the entréé, sides, and the soup were satisfying. The food was fresh and flavor was good enough for me to come back again. Would definitely recommend for a quick lunch. Server was also nice as were the workers there. Thanks Mandarin Chef.
Very tasty and authentic flavors! Nice and helpful staff were very attentive to our needs. The Lunch specials are a great bargain for the amount and quality of the food. Plenty of room in the dining room so waiting doesn't seem to be an issue!
Have been several times now and the food has been very good each time, flavorful and fresh. I don't know why it's not busier than it is, especially at lunch when plate specials are available at prices that beat the nearby fast-food options (and with vastly better quality). The menu has variety to suit every taste, and service is prompt and courteous.
They have large portions meant to be eaten family style of good Chinese food. Much better than the Panda and the all to common knockoffs in the region... Best to order by number to avoid misunderstandings. I will be going back again
Well, they were nicccce...the woman at the register was very very kind and had a wonderful big smile. But that’s really all. We have been talking about visiting for a couple months. Finally made a visit. The food wasn’t horrible. It was just very very “safe”.

This place is just okay the guy that works there seems to have a chip on his shoulder but the gals that work there are really nice the food is just so so. so beware
I blindly chose this restaurant because of the name. It just sounded like I was in for something good and authentic, MANDARIN!!!(echoes) Turns out the restaurant doesn't stand out like the name does. It appears to be a family owned shop, not to much reinvestment into keeping the place up but the service was nice. The vege fried rice was just ok nothing to write home about. Would I eat there again? Since I don't think it's fair to base returning or not on a simple vege fried rice dish I'd come back and try a lunch medley with a meat dish on it and then make my decison.
This is the best Chinese that we have found...however, due to the fact that they will not open for dining in we won't eat here until they do. Our favorite dishes just don't taste the same by the time we get home 35 minutes from the restaurant. It is one of the only restaurants that refuse to open inside. Please consider opening for Indoor dining so that we can enjoy your delicious food again. So many customers agree with us.
Years ago their food grade was an A. Food tasted great. Went there another time, months later, and their food grade was a C-They were out of country at this time. Wanted some take out tonight, husband went to go check out their food grade and there is a B posted. Hesitant to eat there again as I didn’t look up why their food grade is all over the place.

The food we received was very disappointing the egg food young was like mostly egg and was crispy hard to chew and ordered the shrimp egg food young which came with 4 small shrimp the orange chicken was very small pieces as well compared to other Asian restaurants will definitely not be dining here again not worth the money and the food was not very good in my opinion I felt we over paid for what we received very pricey for what we received we were told by the waiter that the egg food young had 3 small pieces and we only got 2 pieces on each plate the rice was very bland nothing but soy sauce fried in it I was served on a tray that reminded of when I was in elementary school
The food is mediocre at best. I didn't have to taste it twice, however when I went to the bathroom it was like hell's flood gate opened with fury. Worked better than a laxative.
Been here before food was good but the most recent visit was a huge disappointment. For what I paid I expected more in portion and quality. The only redeeming dish was the wonton soup hence the 2 stars instead of one. Will give this place another chance but generally dissatisfied.
Stars for service because they are incredibly sweet people! But service cant carry the establishment, Won ton soup has essentially no flavor. Fried rice is nothing more than rice with soy sauce theres not a single veggie or egg to be found. Orange chicken is ok.. bit disappointed.
It was quiet and odd walking in with only one other customer the building and no background music, just silence in the background. My wife and I tried the pao pao platter for an appetizer and split the sizzling teriaki beef. The appetizer was good but the rib weren't tender and left lots of little meat bits stuck in my teeth. The sizzling teriaki chicken was more like onions and chunks of bellpepper with a little meat mixed in every few bites. And the rice was sparing compared to other Asian restaurants. I also wish our waiter had a little more personality than 'yes', 'no', and *nod*. I might try the lunch special another day but I might not.
We order a to go meal and my egg foo young was burnt, yes burnt! Our fried rice had nothing in it but a couple of peas. I’ve been here before and the food was good but this time it was horrible. Maybe a new cook? Or maybe they need a new cook. Very disappointing I have to say.
The food is amazing. The service impeccable. The music enjoyable. The atmosphere authentic. Well, that was 3 years ago. Since covid, the food has declined drastically. First, all the fillers of water chestnuts and bamboo shoots is rediculous. Then the orange chicken started coming with this little black flecks. Yuck!!!!
First time trying this place out $28 for 2 items pictured. It had a odd old oil smell to it. Loved the chicken chunks but the flavor didn't care for it.

My shrimp egg foo young, was horrible, it was like eating mushy mini wheat...the orange chicken and Mongolian beef was just ok. The special fried rice was not special at all. Dinner was $65 and not worth $5. Don't waste your time or money!

The food was so good. The service was the worst. I have never had service so bad. It is very unfortunate because I had heard such good things and as far as the food is concerned all true very good but the service was bad enough that I won't return.
The shrimp fried rice smelt & tasted burnt, also the rice was hard like half raw. This is the worst shrimp fried rice I’ve ever had & most expensive
So tired of fast food Chinese food so we decided to try mandarin chef. The egg rolls were the tastiest thing we ordered. The wor won ton soup was very mediocre and the Kung pan chicken was the most flavorless I've ever eaten. The other couple of entrees both tasted pretty much the same. Unfortunately I guess it's back to panda for us...🤥
Terrible food. Ordered the Mongolian beef. Got 6 or 7 small peices of meat and felt like it was beef jerky with sauce. Egg rolls were very greasy. I will not be back
I am sorry for the people that think this place serves great Chinese food. My hot & spicy chicken was severely over cooked, the wontons were burnt, the garlic spinach was ok but had no protein and the noodles had no flavor. Very disappointing.
First time I stop to try this place out I was very disappointed I love to take pictures of all the places I eat and share them on Facebook yelp and Google maps and no one ever seems to have a problem with this but today the owner of this fine establishment got very angry with me because I took a picture of the grade that all restaurants receive and asked me to stop talking pictures. When I told him the reason I like to take the pictures he told me that was fine as long as I didn't post the grade. I explained to him that with all my post I like to share this information and I like to be honest about what I post. He was not very happy he asked to not post the grade. Just then I walked to my table and looked over the menu and was waiting for the young lady to take our oder but she kept passing us up I finally stud up and asked her if her boss told her to skip us and she got very nervous and looked over at her boss and didn't respond I looked over at my wife and said he doesn't want to serve us and the young lady just said I'm soo sorry. I didn't go to this man's restaurant to ruin his business or give him a hard time I really didn't care much about the B grade he was given I was still willing to give his place a try this is even though the place had a very foul smell of some kind of sewer leak I really would have appreciated him just telling us that he refused service to us.
“Hey, I’m hosting a party and need two large entrees.” She brings out two 9”x13” inch pans. Lemon chicken? Sure. I get home, open it up and it’s four, thin sliced, fried chicken cutlets, on this extremely generous bed of shredded cabbage. That’s it. $47. Fool me once, I guess. Don’t even get me started on the beef and broccoli that was actually just uncooked broccoli slathered in beef broth.
We were very disappointed during our last visit and will not be returning after years of having enjoyed coming to eat here. We took my mother for her birthday this past weekend after they finally reopened. When we arrived we let the hostess know we had 8 people in our party. She let the waiter know and he became very upset and began to complain and argue with the hostess. He then angrily threw two tables together (he was literally shoving the chairs together) while complaining the whole time to the hostess (we didn't understand the language he was speaking, but it felt very uncomfortable). The hostess proceeded to seat us, but he continued to give attitude and argue with the hostess. When he took our order he did so obviously annoyed. When we asked questions he would say he didn't know what we meant or acted confused. He has been here since we started going in 2017 and this is the first time he ever acted so rudely or questioned what we ordered. His behavior was inexcusable and ruined my mother's birthday dinner. We will not be returning, which is which is shame because we truly felt this was the best Chinese food in the high desert. We obviously came when he was having a bad day, but if he he had a problem serving us or was short staffed, he should have told us instead of behaving the way he did. Very dissapointing.
Nope. We went there last night. My wife, child, and I are feeling nauseated. The food was greasy. The soup; also greasy, looks like it's been boiling all day. It looks like they tried hard to cook a great dinner, but there was something wrong with almost every dish. They were very kind and friendly, but we came for the food and NOPE.
The guy cooking and seemingly in Charge was yelling at the lady who worked there.
