Mandarin Gourmet Restaurant 滿吉樓

Lunch specials are becoming harder and harder to find so when you find a place that not only has a lunch special but has it available 7 days a week (excluding holidays), it is worth a highlight! Mandarin Gourmet delivers with a 4 course lunch special that has a variety of entrée options.
Entrées are served family style so the table can easily share dishes.
The food comes quickly and the seating is comfortable (choice of booths or tables).
The first course are some fried dough with a sweet red dipping sauce.
Chinese chicken salad with a peanut dressing is usually served at the same time, followed by a hot and sour soup.
Finally the entrée is served with a choice of steamed or fried rice.
A fortune cookie rounds off the meal.
On this visit, we had the Garlic Eggplant, Tangerine Beef and Honey Walnut Prawns.
All were great!

We have been going here as family since 20 years Today we had table reserved and arrived on time 7pm. We walked in and other front desk lady gave away our table to someone else as racial discrimination. This is not acceptable.
I have pics. One lady was apologetic and other old lady who assigned table incorrectly did not care. s. We got 2 small tables joined and not what was reserved or asked for. We are very disappointed on Christmas Eve. Hope Manager sees this note and does something

Love this restaurant sometimes they have there off days..
today was one of those days….
Opened at 11 but when we arrived cleaners where still mopping floors .
The cleaning lady greeted us with a smile.
The manager looked upset when she seen us and quickly turned around and told the lady not to leave the door open next time because people can walk in..she waved her hand at the lady and said just hurry up! She turned then turned to us and said give me a min they are still cleaning.
So we waited 5 min and then she sat us.
Wonton strips where cold and not crunchy like they usually are.
Salad was ok (I’m usually obsessed with the salad I can eat mine plus my daughters ) my food was good I ordered the Mongolian beef w/fried rice My grandma ordered a shrimp dish …… shrimp still had poop in its tail.
We told the waiter and he just looked at it and mumbled something very low took the plate and walked away….very odd.
A apology would of been nice.
I think it’s safe to say Grandma isn’t going to want to eat here again.
