Chanelle JonesSeptember 26, 2014I'm about to find out... Ordered the shrimp fried rice and fried chicken wings.. #cantwait
ChevroletSeptember 20, 2010One of Chinatown's best and most authentic stops. Locals rave about the Slippery Shrimp.
- Everyone raves about the slippery shrimp, but the big secret here is the hot and sour won ton soup. It's the best soup and a unique creation here unlike the standard hot & sour soup widely available.
Myla HardieAugust 14, 2017Not authentic Chinese food. Can tell by clientele. After finding out that Mandarin Chateau is permanently closed, we had high hopes here, but we're disappointed.
Edward MartinJanuary 22, 2014Who ever said the slippery shrimp is just ok must be high on crystal meth
mikeeJanuary 31, 2011Turns out that world famous slippery shrimp is just like the orange flavored shrimp from Panda Express. Fail.
Slippery Shrimp goes without saying... Also, try the spicy wonton soup.
DaudiMay 14, 2016The meat dishes are doused in sauce and way too salty. For a Chinese restaurant, I was disappointed.
OzzMarch 11, 2012Very overrated. If you think it's good food then you must have low food standard. Just my opinion.
Arnie PanameñoMarch 24, 2015The service here is awful and the waiters are forgetful. not to mention the food was subpar.
Edilberto De LeónSeptember 6, 2019Increíble la comida, una gran atención de sus dueños, pero las porciones son grandes
Ilian Ben RabiaaDecember 28, 2016Super restaurant chinois service rapide plats excellent très très bon extra
