Mandarin Taste in Diamond Bar

The hot and sour soup was spicy and tasty, and the Walnuts Shrimp and Scallops with Garlic Sauce were also delicious.Qingdao beer was served in a chilled glass!

This is my 2nd time at Mandarin Taste Restaurant and I truly love it. My brother and I like to celebrate our birthdays here with our family. The service is great and our waiter Yung is always so friendly and funny. The servings are big family style with a nice ambiance. We went on Sunday around noon and it wasnt too busy which was good for us. It seems like families come here a lot. We ordered the hot and sour soup, shrimp fried rice, Chicken Lo Mien, honey walnut shrimp, kung pao shrimp, chicken, and beef combo, Szechuan beef, chop suey, salt and pepper chicken, salt and pepper prawns, Sweet and sour chicken, and Mongolian Beef. My favorite was the honey walnut shrimp, Szechuan beef, and kung pao shrimp, chicken, and beef combo. Everything else was good. I wasnt really a fan of the salt and pepper chicken and prawns. They were fried and thats not what I expected. But all in all it was great and I cant wait to come back again. Check it out for yourself!

Nice restaurant ambiance and very friendly people. On the other hand the food was barely edible. The General Tsos chicken (white meat) is practically a plate of fried chicken skin. Egg rolls were terrible…frozen food section has better. Fried rice w/egg was terrible. If your taste buds are burnt off this is an excellent place to eat.🤷🏼

Friendly staffs, nice place, & tasty/authentic Chengdu food! Had a good time with my family. strongly recommended.

Weve have been looking for a place like this ever since Hop Louies closed its doors in Chinatown over 10 years ago! This place is old school cool..its dark with glowing lanterns..stiff Polynesian type cocktails (think Mai tais, scorpions, blue hawaiians!) and our server Andy was absolutely amazing!! Just a tip if youre not feeling too hungry, order the pupu platter and a couple cocktails and you are set!! The skewers, egg rolls, and coconut shrimp included with the platter are TOP NOTCH, my husband loved the paper wrapped chicken and ribs, yum! The platter is served with a glowing little fire torch that you can grill your food on 😁 Everything was just so good combined with excellent service, we will definitely be back again and again!

Never got to eat here.I arrived at exactly 2:30 pm. I was turned away from staff because they stopped accepting take-in orders at 2:30 pm.I feel like more could have been done about this. Thats why I posted a 1-star review.

Very flavorful chicken with mushroom and snow pea!!! Great staff, great flavors-will be back.

Truly is one of the last best and classy restaurant in Diamond Bar. Amazingly affordable lunch and dinner specials. Old school Chinese sit-down restaurant with super friendly and attentive staff who are very well mannered and well dressed. Great cocktail drinks paired with deliciously cooked food. One of Diamond Bars hidden gems.

I’ve been going here for years and since they’ve reopened post Covid the quality has changed. The food portions is less and the food lacks flavor. There is very little protein in their dishes and you can barely see the vegetables in the chow mein. I have read their recent reviews and I am shocked at some on them. You don’t have to be a foodie to realize this food has no taste. The staff is friendly, but they need to know that their food quality has changed in the worse way.

This location is extremely disappointing. I say that in the most sincerest way. Because when you go to this area number one, this is an area that is predominantly owned by Asians and there are many similar restaurants to choose from. Now the location looks 100% authentic. When you go in, its actually nice. Its got a dark ambience to it, but lets get to the food. Im going to say this first if youre Asian and you know, specific items that are on the menu to order. Im sure theyre going to prepare those items fresh. And Im sure that Asians are not gonna be served subpar food. I witnessed this first-hand with an Asian family that ordered something different on the menu. And it came out looking like it was absolutely fresh steaming and hot.We ordered the family dinner. The higher cost option, which was $29.99 per person. And the food was absolutely horrible. You can clearly tell it was not fresh. It had possibly been recooked no less than 2 times. We ordered Sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour pork, sheshwan beef and kung pao chicken. These are super popular standard dishes. That a Chinese restaurant should be preparing at an amazing level. Thats what I would have expected.I am well aware that these entrees are not authentic Chinese food at an authentic Chinese restaurant. I am well aware this is food that was made for the US decades ago. I have been to restaurants like New Garden located in Roland Heights they offer the same type of food, and it is absolutely amazing & fresh!The food was so overcooked because it was not fresh. The chicken, the beef was actually crunchy with in the breading. The breading itself was so hard. From the 2 times or more, its being refried and served..The fried rice was submerged in soy sauce. During the refry process I honestly have never had worse Egg fried rice I dont know how they can mess that up but they did.The sweet-and-sour sauce that they have is literally the consistency of water. Now I dont know if they serve their Asian guest the same sweet-and-sour sauce but if I was Asian I would definitely a 100% not touch that sauce.This restaurant is a sad example for serving very popular Chinese fooddishes.The egg rolls in our appetizers are of the same quality that you would get at a donut shop / chinese Fast food spot.I would not suggest anyone look at this as an option for traditional american chinese food, there are many other places that are serving Quality fresh made to order food at the same exact price. Again, this is a restaurant its not a fast food Chinese food spot, and theyre prices reflect that of what you would expect to have fresh food prepared.
