Service was good, and staff was nice. Â Buffet did not look very fresh, and had some times written in grease pencil on the glass above some of the dishes. Â If the time was truly when the food was put out on the buffet, that is disgusting because some were many hours prior to our arrival. Â I will give them the benefit of the doubt, and pretend like I didnt see them. Â Luckily, my wife has finally taught me to never eat the buffet when dining at a chinese restaurant. Â It had a wide selection, so I had to fight the urge, but was glad I opted for the menu. Â Egg rolls from the menu were higher quality than what was on the buffet. Â Hot and Sour soup was passible. Â Fried dumplings were a hit. I had the sesame chicken for my entree and had them make it extra spicy. Â Pretty good, but the chicken pieces were pretty small. Â Not the best Chinese I have had by any means, but one of the best I have had in the Bay City area. Â I will go back for lack of a better choice.
Review Source:Outside: Â Is this a Chinese place?
Inside: Â Remodeled comfortable, could use some music
Food: Â American Chinese
Service: Â Is alright, seems to be a little betfer if you order off the menu
Cost: Â Fair
As this use to be (probally still is) the best place for Chinese in Bay City, I would have to say that since their move and addition of a buffet they lost a step. Â That is why they are not above average.
To be honest we have not been to any other Chinese place in Bay City in years. Â That is why it holds a solid 3.
I think the buffet has brought their standards down, and almost makes me a little sad. Â As for the buffet it is clean and fresh just bland and a bit repetitive. Â Everything is brown in brown sauce and taste the same. Â The menu items seem to be the best place place to get any quality and variety.
This is now my favorite Chinese buffet, not counting the Mongolian part of Chens in Saginaw. The buffet items were all very good. Not the basic quick made get it out there stuff but more like what you'd get if you ordered your own dish of it. There were only a couple deep fried dishes unlike other buffets which are almost totally deep fried. The salad bar consisted of lettuce with two dressings and there was only a couple dessert items. Focus is on the actual Chinese dishes. The dining area was nothing special. It was clean so what else do you need. Don't sit by the big windows if the cold bothers you. I could feel it coming right through. I was told the food used to be even better but I was happy with it now. Will be back.
Review Source:I have been eating here since I moved to the area and honestly, it is the chinese place that my last few towns have been missing. Â Of course, this isn't gourmet or anything, but at the same time everything I have ordered has tasted good and seems fresh. Â I get the almond chicken medium spicy with water chesnuts. Â Also, the hot and sour is pretty great. Â My only complaint is that the restaurant still feels like a Texan inside, but meh, just get carryout. Â Tastes great and no cowboy hat required.
Review Source:Loved them before the move, not so much since.  They now have smaller portions for take out, and consistancy in the food taste is not there any more.  It's the "best" we have on this side of town.  I'm not a fan of their rice,  it seems that would be one thing that they would use top quality ingredients for.  Tastes like instant rice.  I asked if they carried brown  rice the lady said no.  Come on people, give us the tools to make better/healthier choices!
Review Source:We were avid fans of take out from Mandarin House for the last few years. Unfortunately, our last couple of experiences have been not-so-good. The ingredients in our dishes didn't seem fresh and the spices used tasted gross. I don't know if we'll ever go back...........they are moving into a new location on Center Avenue in the building that used to be the Texan, so hopefully that will give them an updated look and the food will get back to tasting like it used to.
