Love this place! Very homemade feel, their wonton soup is just homemade veggie soup soo yummy. They are very kind and make great food.

Spicy seafood jjajangmyeon and jjamppong here are incredibly delicious. Among the Chinese restaurants in Ktown LA, this one is definitely one of the best.

Mandarin Garden Restaurant is my go to place in the area! The food is always great, fresh and filling. The shrimp fried rice and kong pop chicken is my favorite thing to get on my visits. The service is consistent, friendly, fast and top of the line. The best in the area for sure! I have recommended this spot to everyone and Would recommend to everyone!

A regular spot for us with our go to being one large order a piece of the jjambbong and jjajangmyun along with an order of the shrimp fried rice. The portions are always large, pretty easily feeding a family of 5 (though remember these are large orders of the noodles, which can be asked for but I'm not sure that they are written out on the menu). The inside of the restaurant feels like the mom & pop business that it is, sometimes reminding me of the simple places you might see in some kdramas. My father has been coming here for decades, and doesn't seem to have noticed the differences that others have following the ownership change. The jjajang is consistently delicious and comforting, with just the right amount of chew to the noodles and a good mix of substance to the sauce. The fried rice also is always great with a good amount of shrimp and that impossible to replicate at home taste of Chinese takeout fried rice. I will say the jjambbong is usually the star of the show, though just how excellent it is seems to vary to me. While it's always great, there have been times we've ordered it where it seems to be just that little bit better. Who knows, maybe it's just in my head, but I will say you consistently get a full bowl of delicious seafood and noodles that never disappoints. The service is also good and responsive, no complaints there. I will caution against going on a particularly hot LA day because you won't find frigid AC conditions which might make eating the hot broth of the jjambong a little less pleasant. Overall, a great place to get some comfort food with large portions, great taste, and cheap prices.

My third time visiting and it stills delivering delicious food. This time I went with their sweet and sour pork with sauce on the side. This allowed me to try each component individually. The pork is crispy and the sauce is mild in sourness, just right in sweetness as well. I am sure you will enjoy your meal here.

Food was good...I just felt a little uncomfortable bc the employees were constantly watching us eat...I think the staff there was watching us eat to see if there was anything they can do to make our dining experience better...for instance they brought us extra plates when they saw my husband giving me a bite from his noodle which I didn't take a picture of since it's just jajang myun and another time they brought spoon when they saw my husband take a bite of my fried rice...but it was so uncomfortable that I couldn't finish eating my food and had to box them and go. We weren't the only customers in the beginning but there was a time when all the customers left and it was just my boyfriend and I dining there and they kept watching us eat...we're both Korean by the way so I guess if you're not and you have this same experience, just know it's not you. It might be their approach to being attentive? Or maybe I had food on my face lol The shrimp with spicy tomato sauce was interesting and I didn't really taste the tomatoes. Apparently this dish was my husband's regular appetizer growing up so he ordered it since I never had it before. There's some spice to it and paired well with the shrimp fried rice which got greasy/ from all the oil on the rice and the jajang sauce. Definitely will return for other items on the menu. I highly recommend the half and half bowl of jajang myun and champong bowl if you can't decide on what to order.
