Well done food! We enjoyed the tapas size fusion plates such as the various tacos so have been back several times. We like everything we have tried and the prices are reasonable. Love the restaurant decors and the cozy atmosphere. Such a gem for our Santa Rosa. Highly recommended

We had the "Tour of Asia" appetizer, and each was delicious. It alone was enough for lunch, but we didn't realize it while ordering and also got the crispy pork belly, which was delicious. It had a great balance of pork and veggies. The leftovers made for a delicious dinner too!

The savory crepes are amazing, all the food is super tasty. I have been here a couple of times and always found the staff pleasant and fast with the lunch time orders. Never tried it for dinner but there are loads of great looking dishes I see other people eating.

Was lucky to get an invite for Mandarin Kitchen's Grand opening and I could not recommend this restaurant more. If you ever are in the Santa Rosa or Montgomery Village area, this is the place to be! The newly renovated place is so warm and welcoming. The interiors of the place are so hip and trendy without being intimidating. They have a bar area too! It's perfect for your GNO's, friday night hangouts, family/friend catch-ups/gatherings, or your date night go-to's. You're welcomed by friendly hosts/hostesses and are helped out with menu's - be sure to check out their bang-bang shrimp, crispy calamari, and pork skewers for your appetizers. You'll never go wrong with those! In terms of main courses, the kung pow chicken was a classic hit! It is so full of flavor. I also could not recommend the orange chicken enough - this is the real deal! However if you're into tasting something savory, I say try their savory crepe - it is an egg wrapped chicken & shrimp combo with a side of mint, lettuce, cilantro, and basil. Thanks to Chef Tony and his brilliant dishes, we had the time of our lives.

The staff was so friendly! The food was delicious & loved that they offered mocktails. I was able to eat comfortably with my baby in stroller next to me
