Mandarin Deli - Northridge

Must visit....best beef noodle soup and green onion pancake...

Comfort Food, Chinese Style. Mandarin Deli is the place to go when you feel the need for Chinese food and comfort food. Their vegetable dumplings are known to be famous and rightly so, they are amazing.<br/ They do make some things to custom order and taste, for instance one can take the pork out of the mixed fried rice. And speaking of that Fried Rice; it is the thing I crave the most, while for Daniel it's the Chow Mein and the Orange Chicken.<br/ Really this place is wonderful and take out is done the most by us, sitting in the restaurant is just as pleasing with the authentic Chinese feeling and decor along with the wait staff, and not to mention that there are many Asian people that eat there (a sign of a good Chinese food). The staff is friendly and the portions are enormous and worth every penny, not that it's too expensive to begin with!

It was my first time today at this locally family-owned restaurant. The food was excellent. Plenty of seating. I love the parking. I could eat here at least once a week or several times a week. Food prices are very reasonable. And it was nice seeing lots of families eating together with their parents and the children. Also saw some younger people maybe they were dating. It's just a good wholesome restaurant to have some good Chinese food

30 years ago this was the best dumpling noodle place in southern California; there are now 100 other great dumpling noodle houses in SoCal, but this one is just as great as ever and still competitive with newer top San Gabriel Valley places. Our favorites are the cold tofu salad (best anywhere), spicy pork chili soup noodle, of course the dumplings scallion pancakes, excellent hot sour, country style tofu, pungent shrimp. Handmade noodles are a great option, but the regular noodles are also surprisingly good. Beef noodle soup is legendary. Even Fried Rice is excellent.

I’m giving a 4 star because the food is really good, but the speed in which it comes out is not so great. It took 50 minutes for our first hot dish to come out (after asking if they forgot about our dishes) and that was slightly warm at best, but not hot. It’s unfortunate because I see so much potential if they did some basic updating to the place and revisited their service.
