Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

BEST CHINESE IN FISHTOWN. definitely. their food is tasty and cheap, it's never made me sick either. i keep coming back. one funny thing is that when you call to order they never tell you the time it'll be ready or how much your total is, they don't even take your name or phone number. but your food's always ready in like 10 to 15 minutes. just gotta remember what you ordered since they don't have your name.

Good if you want something fast & you've got a twenty spot or less in your pocket. If you know what really good Chinese food tastes like, don't do it - but it is okay if you are in a hurry & don't have a lot of cash for a meal over in Chinatown. Note of caution: I did find a staple in my delivery container of fried chicken livers last week, tho everyone says that is what I get for even eating chicken liver in the first place ...

Ordered delivery, took 40 minutes I would say that's fair. Still hot upon arrival and that's what matters. Food was delicious I will attach photos. They forgot to add forks and napkins to the bag, but I was home so we simply used our own. The only real complaint I would have is that they sent me the wrong rice with my platter. I ordered white rice with my combination and received pork fried rice.

I have a soft spot for Americanized Chinese take out food. For what it is, this place is better than most Chinese takeouts I've been to. Even though every time I call for takeout, there is like an urgency to get off the phone on their end, they are actually really nice when I go pick up my order. They just seem to be really busy all the time. I still have yet to figure out how they know what I ordered when I never give them my name over the phone. I really like this place because they are efficient, on point with the orders and fast. As for the food, they have really good wonton and hot and sour soups, which I order eat time. Their combo plates are an amazing deal and come with pork fried rice, egg roll and a soup! Oh and they have the absolute BEST CHICKEN WINGS/FRIED CHICKEN. I don't know what they do to them, but they are perfectly seasoned and so flavorful. Usually being a fan of chicken tenders, these wings have changed my mind. They also have a way with broccoli. Any dish that has broccoli in, the broccoli is always perfectly cooked and slightly crisp. Alot of times I get the broccoli with garlic sauce combo and am completely satisfied. There are some things that haven't been that good, but for basic things they are a go to place for me. I can consistently trust them to have good Chinese takeout.

it's basically the only chinese food place I know of in the fishtown area. It's just like every other chinese food spot. i didn't get sick from their food (points in their corner), it's cheap (duh). the one guy that works there seems like he wants to rip the throats out of any one who talks to him even though its his job to take orders (whatever). ya know. it is what it is.

This is the best local place in Fishtown. Fresh food, clean kitchen, friendly staff. They tend to not bring utensils unless you ask and always skip all the sauces unless u ask. Take our only and super fast delivery.

Great place for delivery or take-out. I've never had a poor meal here. Best Chinese place I've found in the Fishtown area so far.

Just waited 1 hour 43 minutes for mediocre chinese delivery. Never again.

We recently ordered four dishes for delivery. This was the first and last time we will do so from Mandarin House. The first dish was Hot and Sour soup; it was the best of the four items. The spare ribs were also fine. The worst were the two main dishes: Seafood Delight and Mongolian Beef. To suggest that Seafood Delight was either delightful or contained seafood would be an insult to my intelligence and eyesight. This dish should properly be called Broccoli Delight because that's the dominant ingredient, followed by fake crab and sundry other vegetables. There was an outrageous claim that the dish contained lobster. Well, if it did, my magnifying glass failed to detect any. Maybe, the person responsible for this travesty passed a piece of dessicated lobster over the dish, and by an act of "nearness" ascribes lobster to this miserable dish's components. As for the Mongolian Beef, it was surely the toughest and driest meat that I've ever attempted to eat. One saving grace is that I'm convinced that the chef was secretly attempting to introduce me to an exotic gourmet adventure by substituting Yak meat for the beef. This is a gruesome gift I could well do without. Overall, what is most appalling is the establishment's contemptuous treatment of its takeout customers. Places like this harbor a conceit that we don't know the difference between meat or seafood and vegetables, and that somehow we'll live with what we get because we're not present to complain or to send the food back as we might at a dine-in restaurant. What's worse, they think we'll order again, maybe try a different dish and hope for better results. Well, not I, not ever.

I came in here for some quick food after a concert at the Piazza. It's take out only and there aren't really even any seats to sit and wait. It is located on Girard and Frankford ave, a busy intersection since a few of the popular bars in fishtown are right around there. I ordered the fried dumplings and wonton soup which took about 10 minutes to make. The dumplings were okay, better than others I have had in this area. The wonton soup was actually pretty good and it has been hard to find a place that serves a really good wonton soup in Philly. It's hard to give a definitive rating on this place based on my small order but I would go back again to try some of their other dishes.

Best chinese takeout/delivery in NoLibs and fishtown area. The food is always good, they have some decent combos for a good price, and delivery is usually about 25 minutes.
(4)Sherry S.
This place has great beef noodle soup! I wasn't expecting much to be honest since it seemed like a place that might just serve typical Americanized-Chinese food (which to be fair it also does), but the dishes off the chef specials list has some authentic Chinese dishes, and is a great find so that I don't have to venture off to Chinatown whenever I am craving Chinese food. 5 stars for being a good chinese restaurant located where close to me, and far away from other chinese restaurants.

This place is average and your only choice for Chinese in fishtown.
(3)James B.
It's exactly what you would expect, not better and not worse.
(3)Tony R.
For under $5 for a lunch special this is a good choice. General tso's and sesame chicken are good.
(4)Neil S.
They have the best shrimp with black bean sauce and chicken with garlic sauce and broccoli. The fried crab wantons are out of this world. This is one of the best Chinese take out places around.
(5)Maddie D.
we order from this place pretty often. Best option in fishtown for sure. We tried most of the other places, even ones further up aramingo and this place beat them hands down. Best thing on the menu in my opinon is the steamed pork dumplings. The pork fried rice is also delicious. My finance swears by the chicken wings. Suprising from a chinese food restaurant for sure but super good.
(4)Tom H.
Good chinese take out at a fair price. All your standard choices are available - chicken, beef, soups. "Homestyle Bean Curd" is a wonderful (though not particularly healthy) vegetarian dish. The veggie dumplings are cheap and very filling, too. Seafood should generally be avoided here, but this is a good rule for all chinese take out. Bonus - if you order $20 worth of stuff, you get free egg rolls and other fried goodies. Though remember, $20 worth of chinese take out is a lot of food; invite some friends.

My friend and I ordered General Tso's Chicken and Dumplings and they OVERCHARGED US what was on their menu because of their made up tax. That was the first problem we encountered. We ended up getting a LOT of chicken but there was NO flavor whatsoever in the whole General Tso's dish. The dumplings were definitely above average, but they themselves were pretty small so thats how it is getting a 1/5. Definitely would advise people to go elsewhere.

We ordered take out last night not bad!!!!! It was a lot better than I was expecting!
(3)Dan A.
My favorite Chinese take out in the area. The dishes I like most they do better than other places nearby (and in cities I lived in before for that matter), and they deliver quickly.
(4)Jessica B.
This is your basic neighborhood Chinese spot . The kind of place that seems sorta shady, but is the only Chinese place around so you deal. There is really no reason to frequent Mandarin House unless you are a Fishtown local with a craving for quick take-out. The sesame chicken is pretty ok, and the general Tso. The crab rangoon is very tasty. Pork fried rice is good, but the lo mein tastes very blah. Service is decent enough for a take-out joint and they've always been pretty quick with my order. I've never ordered delivery - but then again I can't see why. If you don't live close enough to walk here, then I'm not sure why you're going.
