So far it is one of my favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara. The service is the best! Also, they provide you free appetizer plus free dessert!
Everyone should check it out!

used to be our favorite chinese food in town
Reviewer: Maria

Mandarin Palace was our favorite place for quality Chinese food for at least 6 yrs. We've noticed though the quality has declined. The beef quality didn't look nor taste good, sauce was bland and the broccoli was soft and yellowish green, not the hearty green it used to be. The wonton soup wasn't stuffed with anything -- usually has pork in it. It was all starchy and soup bland. We're disappointed that the quality has declined and prices up. We would go back here again if quality improves. We will pay for good food in town.

Reviewer: Lily

i love this Chinese restaurant!
i went in with my boyfriend in the mood for Chinese..
turned out to be really good. the service was great.
the waiter was helpful in suggesting what noodles were good etc.
we ordered the Kung Pao shrimp and Mongolian beef and the fat noodles. the noodles were a little bland but other plates were delicious. i would definitely go there again.

Very Poor Treatment of Customers
Reviewer: Jon
from Santa Barbara
We(2) ordered our Dinner Specials and was not offered a choice
of rice, its steam or fried.When I courteously asked the staff
(before the food arrived) he said and I quote " Why didnt you
tell me this?" I said I thought the staff would ask us. He huffed
off. Received our food and it was Good, Nice flavors. I did
however watch 2 sets of people get up from the tables when
the staff started in on the "Kids cannot eat off your plate"
the child was 2 at best and they wanted the child to order
a plate. Another young couple wanted to share just 1 order and
they said NO you must order 2. As a small business owner
myself I thought I would say something to the owner about this
He did not pay attention to my comment. I was Apalled. Never
will I return to this place.
