Chinarestaurant Mandarin in Essen

The best Asian restaurant in Essen

Never again, I'm truly speechless, a huge disappointment. The chicken was dry and musty. No words. Unfortunately, I can't get half a star.

I've never been to the store, I always order takeout. The only dish I don't like is the salted egg yolk shrimp tofu, but I've never had any trouble with it. Really delicious and authentic.

Clear recommendation for the food...

Previously excellent cuisine and extremely accommodating service. Unfortunately, everything has slowed down a little, but prices have risen a little.

They worship foreigners and greet foreigners when they come in, but we Chinese people don't pay any attention when we come in. There were only a few tables occupied and two or three waiters were too busy to handle it. It took ten thousand years to get the bill. But I still tip as a habit😅 qnmd

The experience was particularly bad. They really treated Chinese people and foreigners differently. We had arranged for 5 people in advance, but we were given a small seat next to the bathroom. We couldn't sit at all. There was a big table that was empty and we were not given a seat. . But the foreigner greeted the two of them warmly and arranged a particularly good and big seat. They also rolled their eyes at us. We entered the store at the same time as the foreigner. The elderly waiter received the foreigner first and told us to either wait or go in by ourselves.

Authentically delicious if you want to eat good Chinese food between €17-30 per person, this is the place for you. It has been our regular/family restaurant for many years. The best duck you will ever eat, I guarantee you. Music ambience everything nicely decorated in Asian style. Recommended as a foodie to anyone who loves Asian cuisine.

Unfortunately, the food was only average, the service was attentive. Unfortunately, only cash payment was possible.

The restaurant has a warm interior, the service was very friendly, the waiting times were ok. Unfortunately there were hardly any vegetarian alternatives and the food was a bit too greasy. But overall tasty.

I think it's delicious, especially the duck

A rather outdated restaurant, you can see that it is getting old. The food wasn't particularly good either, it looked more like warmed-up canteen food and it was served lukewarm. Conclusion: not recommended

Friendly service, moderate waiting times. Unfortunately no card payment was possible. Some things on the invoice were different than what was ordered, but the price was probably right.

It’s so delicious that you won’t notice if someone faints next to you

Food service and atmosphere were very good.

Not what I'm used to from Chinese. Was quite tasteless. Chicken had no taste it was chicken with fried dough. Fried rice just okay. Duck flavor was okay. But you miss the authentic taste. Water is added to soft drinks. You can taste this. Upon entry it is indicated that payment can only be made in cash. Dark restaurant, the atmosphere you experience at almost every Chinese restaurant.

Good service, tasty and inexpensive dishes.

Price-performance ratio is no longer right...it used to be very good.

we were there on November 30th. there and horrified. The service was annoyed and unfriendly. The food came quickly, but was carelessly and blandly prepared. Canned mushrooms and overcooked vegetables. Unfortunately, we only got the plates after we asked... 5 minutes later and with an unfriendly comment. We waited in vain for dessert, as well as for the bill, despite asking several times. After we put the money on the table and wanted to leave, people shouted loudly through the shop: "You still have to pay!". That happened quickly. 80s Chinese restaurant that is simply not recommended. Too bad!

Authentic Chinese. No surprise,

Not recommended. The waitress couldn't manage a smile. You had to pay in cash. And the food was miserable. Just warm soy sauce. Never again.

The signature stir-fried yellow beef is quite delicious, but the rest currently feels very average, and there is still a gap between it and Frank Chinese Restaurant.

Tasty as ever. There was nothing to criticize. Staff friendly as always.

I had a very good Chicken dish here with vegetables. The portion was good with a nice bowl of rice. Egg roll too. Place was not crowded. But there were Asians eating. Which I consider a good sign. The decor reminds you of what Chinese restaurants used to like in German cities in the 90‘s. Viehoferstrasse is a bit sketchy, but it’s easy to find off the Kettwigerstrasse. The sign says credit card machine broken, and they say only cash payment. Personally, though, they just want to accept cash which is easier mit to report as income in any country. I would come back as the food is good with interesting vegetables and has a nice flavor.

Best spring roll in all of NRW top top top

Typical German, inexpensive Chinese cuisine without any particular regional characteristics with ok service and an acceptable atmosphere in an uninviting environment, so unfortunately only "ok".

I'm really sad that I didn't visit this restaurant before. The food was really good!!! After years, I finally found a restaurant that cooks authentically. I'm fed up with Asian food that has carrots or leeks in it (typically German). Here you can find Chinese mushrooms/morels and bamboo, among other things. We really enjoyed the food. Everything was fresh. The atmosphere is definitely like it was from my childhood (90s), but if the food is great, that doesn't matter.

No credit card available. Disappointed.

Everything delicious! I was missing a good Chinese restaurant in Essen and now I found it! The 50 plate and the spring roll... without words!

Very cozy. Staff friendly 👍🏻. Food very tasty. 🤤. Would I recommend Yes 👍🏻

Best food, best taste. After so many mediocre or bad experiences at other restaurants, I don't want to try anything else. The price-performance ratio has been right here for 30 years. And all of this in a comfortable atmosphere :))

Food is good Best dish is B1B1,B1 👍👍 The ambience has not been renovated for decades. Table decorations are HORRIBLE!!! Service inattentive and slow,👎👎😀 Prices high!!, OK for B1 given the quantity.

Very good food, with very good prices, the quantity was also very generous

It was a horrible experience. I have never eaten so badly. The rice had been cooked for 4-5 days and at least it was so full that it had rotted like mud. Service is catastrophic if you go there as a German, but all other Asian guests are treated well It was really sickening that the waitress clearly recognized how dissatisfied me and my family were and still missed us the full bill even though the plates were completely full. DISRESPECT!!!

Great shop, great food and friendly service ;/) highly recommended

Best Chinese food in town, really authentic and delicious

highly recommend! sooooo delicious! Very authentic Chinese restaurant ! Fried chicken my favorite!

Best Chinese restaurant I've been to recently, recipes are authentic, portions are huge and service is fast. Absolutely recommended!

I know the restaurant from the 1980s. It was the No. 1 address if you wanted a good Chinese meal - it was virtually unrivaled. Today? read my review! Negative: 1. The atmosphere is still the same as in the 1980s, nothing has been renovated here for almost 40 years. 2. Air conditioning is available but is not used, the customer is allowed to sweat while eating like in a sauna. 3. Prices were increased across the menu, ok, not an issue, but I find the fact that the portions are also shortened to be a third rip-off. 4. The old owner always gave you sake at the end, but not now. Not that I necessarily need it, but as a little thank you and encouraging people to come back, it's not wrong. 5. You can only pay in cash. Positive: 1. Service friendly. That was it already.

Very beautiful and delicious food And friendly staff

Food very tasty (Kung Pao spicy and sweet and sour duck). Prices reasonable. Service very friendly (boss?). Gladly again!

Rude waitress and uncomfortable atmosphere.

The food was exquisite and authentic, every dish a delight. The service was very friendly and attentive. The ambience of the restaurant radiates warmth and cosiness. An all-round perfect experience – I’ll definitely be back! 5 Stars!

TOP !!! Ambiance is a matter of taste... Kung Pao very tasty 😋

Tried many dishes from soup to Peking duck, everything tasted good

Unfortunately, since the owner changed, it is no longer as good as it used to be, the rice was very, very mushy. Unfortunately only 3 stars 🌟 But for a quick lunch you can go there

Real traditional and family cuisine!

The food was very good. The service friendly. Chinese guests at the next table. I think it's a good sign.

Wasp in food Unfriendly staff Hide the kitchen River Cola instead of the original Cola Dirty shop!!!! A case for the public order office!

Good cuisine, tastes really good and fresh

Was delicious. Service (I assume the boss) was friendly. Service impeccable, unfortunately only card payment from 25€. Since I ate alone, I had to put in some effort to reach this total. Thanks to training, I managed it. 🙂

Nice Chinese restaurant in the center of Essen (pedestrian zone)... Very good customer service, parts of the dishes can be better...

It's delicious. The waiters are also very friendly. They don't say that Chinese people can't swipe credit cards. You can only swipe credit cards for 25 euros and above. The taste is also very good. The tripe of Maoxuewang is very soft and delicious. The stir-fried yellow beef is also very tender and delicious. The roast duck is also crispy. Everything is good. It’s just a bit salty after eating too much. Drink a lot of water. It’s a restaurant worth going to. The price is not expensive either.

First visit to this restaurant. The furnishings are classic, as expected. There was a lack of loving decoration. The tables with wax covers and not set, no flowers or anything like that. The service was rather poor. No second drink was asked, not even asked after serving whether everything tasted good or anything else. The food was very bland. The sauce had a good consistency, but also no taste, the vegetables were roughly chopped and warmed for maybe a minute. My conclusion: you can do it, you don't have to. A pity!

This used to be our favorite Chinese restaurant. The food was so delicious that no other restaurant could compete, the service was great and the staff was always friendly. But something happened after there was apparently a change of ownership and the restaurant can no longer be recommended at all. We didn't see the lunch menu anymore, the service was bad and unfriendly. You can tell that the people there don't feel like welcoming their guests at all. The food is no longer that good and the drinks are not original and stale. The shop urgently needs to be renovated, everything is falling apart and not clean.

Our favorite place to go is Mandarin for over 20 years. I just love the rice tables. They used to be much better, which was probably due to other operators, but they are still a highlight for me today. My family prefers the other dishes, which are also very tasty. The service is typically Asian and friendly, and the ambience is enchanting in its own way.

The meal was excellent. Unfortunately I had allergic reactions afterwards.

The food was at the table quickly and also very tasty. Otherwise everything is Chinese (as we know it).

Staff is trying hard. Baked pineapple is a little highlight when served because it is flambéed at the table. Toilet facility in massive need of renovation.

Very nice family Chinese restaurant. You feel very comfortable as a guest as it creates a cozy atmosphere. The service was friendly and took our order quickly. The food was served in a reasonable time and was really delicious. Quality was very good in my opinion. Everything tasted good and was fresh too. If you are looking for a good classic A la Carte Chinese restaurant, this is the place for you. A very clear recommendation from us.

Food didn't taste good, very cold, heating broken?????

Seit Corona und Besitzerwechsel (?) ist es einfach nicht mehr so gut wie früher. Die Tischdecken sind echt gewöhnungsbedürftig und finde ich persönlich nicht so einladend aber ja das ist Geschmackssache. Auch das Essen war irgendwie ohne Geschmack. Ist ein bisschen schade, wir sind früher echt gerne hingegangen aber ja... Vielleicht wird's auch wieder besser, abschreiben würde ich den Laden nicht.

Man kann sehr gut 👍 essen und günstig freundlich und nett ist das Personal sehr zu empfehlen

Leckeres Essen in schönem Ambiente. Große Auswahl. Zentral in der Innenstadt von Essen gelegen.

Sehr gutes Essen und nette Bedienung. Jederzeit wieder.

Fantastisches Essen,gute Portionen und nettes Personal

Alt eingesessenes China Restaurant in der Essener Innenstadt. Gute Qualität der Speisen. Das Restaurant existiert seit ca. 40 Jahren. Das sagt doch alles.

Hab mir gestern Nudeln mit Hähnchen mit Gemüse bestellt. Ekelhaft hab Magenschmerzen durchfall bekommen musste mich brechen heute 2 mal. Wer zum Teufel kommt auf die Idee Champignons und Paprika in Wasser zu Hatzen. Das Panierte Hähnchen hat nach billigen ÖL gerochen sowie gestunken und jetzt muss ich wieder auf die Toilette während ich schreib. Das war das erste und das letzte mal dass ich von dort bestelle.

Tolles Buffet, hier ist für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich. Kann ich uneingeschränkt Empfehlen

Super Speisekarte große Auswahl Sehr gute chinesische Küche. Kleine Preise. Gerne kommen wir wieder. Ambiente antiquiert aber ansprechend.

To start on the positives, the food is ok; lacks subtlety, but is tasty in good portions. That’s where it ends. To describe the service as rude and diffident would be a disservice to any 13 year old. Just spectacularly unwelcoming and unhelpful. Any order is a difficult negotiation greeted with surprise: “you want a Tsing Tao? Why and what do you expect me to do about it???” No smiles or a “Bon appetiti” more of “I don’t mind if you choke”. Utterly soulless, joyless and impolite. Attempts to pay with cards recognised globally are met with hostility as if it’s your problem. If that’s not enough, the website claims it’s open till 22.00 weeknights. Good luck with that. If you try to get in after 20.00 they’ll stand over you with a pad until you submit or leave.

Nicht zu empfehlen, Sie möchten auf keinen Fall einen Blick in ihre Küche werfen!!!

Na ja, begeistert war ich nicht. Das essen war ganz ok, aber das Restaurant ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und die Bedienung hat so düster geschaut und geredet ohne jegliche Emotionen 😕

Ein Familienbetrieb, war ich bereits vor 40 Jahren essen, immer wieder gerne, sehr lecker . Preis/Leistung 👍. Ambiente etwas abgerockt, stört mich eher weniger, Hauptsache es schmeckt😋

Ich war schon mehrmals dort das Essen ist doch sehr lecker auch die Asmus wäre

Sehr traditionelles chinesisches Essen, gute Portion und schmeckt gut. Der Dekorationsstil ist uralt aber halt sauber. Das Personal ist freundlich.

Wir gehen seit über 30 Jahren da hin...waren jetzt seit langer Zeit mal wieder da..das Essen war super sehr lecker so wie ich es in Erinnerung hatte..der Service war gut..das Ambiente ist gleich geblieben.

Mit 4 Personen haben wir ein Menue für 4 Personen bestellt. Mengen, geschmacklich und Bedienung waren gut.

Seit mehr als über 30 Jahren gehe ich mit meinen Eltern in dieses Restaurant. Aber heute waren wir das letzte Mal dort essen. Es scheint als hätte der Besitzer gewechselt. Die Bedienung ist mehr als unsympathisch. Mein Sohn (3 Jahre) isst keine Sojakeime - also bestellte ich Nudeln mit Hähnchen. Auf dem Teller waren dann gebratene Nudeln mit Ei, Sojakeime und Hähnchen. Eine kleine Apfelschorle hatte ich für ihn bestellt - und eine große hat er bekommen. Das Essen wollte er dann nicht essen!!! Das Essen von meiner Mutter und mir waren sehr salzig. Und in dem Essen von meinem Vater war ein Überbleibsel vom Pfannen Reiniger - das wurde einfach ignoriert! Die Tische waren sonst immer mit Tischdecken eingedeckt - jetzt liegen dort Plastikdecken auf den Tischen.

Toller freundlicher Service und ein geniales leckeres essen beim Chinesen.

Wir haben gestern im Mandarin Peking Ente als 4 Gänge Menü gegessen. Es war fantastisch! Die Bedienung hat alles im Griff gehabt. Obwohl kaum noch einTisch frei war gab es keine langen Wartezeiten. Die Ente war die Beste die wir jemals gegessen haben. Empfehlung: Tisch und Ente vorbestellen! Vielen Dank an das Restaurant für den gelungenen Abend!

Das Essen ist den Preis nicht wert.War zweimal da und könnte es nicht aufessen so gut war es.

Sehr nettes und schnelles Personal. Das Essen ist gut und in optimaler Menge Dosiert. Es ist urig vom Ambiente her.

Дуже цікаве, атмосферне місце в самому центрі Ессена. Класичний китайський інтер'єр, привітний персонал, красивий посуд. І, звичайно ж, дуже смачна, і при цьому недорога їжа! До речі, подають дуже швидко!

In diesem Restaurant können Chinesen nicht mit Karte bezahlen, Chinesen können nur bar bezahlen, aber Ausländer können ihre Karten benutzen. Als ich den Kundenservice über WeChat fragte, ob sie gebratene Ente liefern könnten, bekam ich keine Antwort und wurde aus dem Freundeskreis gelöscht, und der Kundenservice warb sogar im Gruppenchat für die täglichen Mahlzeiten. Ich denke, diese Art von unfreundlichem Verhalten hat mein Wohlwollen gegenüber diesem Restaurant wirklich gesenkt und ich werde in Zukunft definitiv kein Geld mehr ausgeben.

Die Bewertung ist unheimlich schwierig, wie auch die Rezensionen zeigen. Die Einrichtung ist alt, dunkel und hat schon bessere Tage gesehen. Es liegt auch ein komischer Geruch in der Luft. Trotzdem knapp 4 Sterne, weil das Essen gut ist und schnell auf dem Tisch stand. Das ist ein chinesisches Restaurant wie in den 80ern, dunkles Holz und süß-saure Soße. Wer das mag und möchte ist also hier genau richtig. Die Preise sind auch ok.

Essen ist mega! Dauert zwar etwas länger, aber wird durch die frische und qualität ausgeglichen. Plastiktischdecken machen meiner Meinung nach das Ambiente dieses traditionell chinesisch eingerichten Restaurants kaputt aber am sonsten top!

Wir kommen schon seit mehr als 15 Jahren hier hin, und mein Mann sogar schon seit über 20 Jahren. Das Essen ist immer wieder lecker. Auch die telefonische Bestellung zum abholen klappt immer ohne Probleme.

Unglaublich leckeres Essen, sehr hohe Qualität

Ich hatte gebackenes Hännchen süßsauer bestellt mit Reis mir wurde Ente gebracht süßsauer und ich musste mir sagen lassen es sei aber Hänchen.Wir waren zu dritt und haben auch lange gewartet obwohl es sehr leer war im Restaurant war echtega entauschend.Ein Koch der bei mir war hatte auch festgestellt das mit ente gebracht wurde!! Wantann enttäuschend! Preis für 2 Vorspeisen 3 Getränke und 3 essen 70 Euro sehr teuer nach meinen Geschmack Nicht zu empfehlen

Restaurant was empty, but owner didnt want Us as customer. We asked for a table for three persons, you Just screamed NO! to Us and send Us away

Wir waren heute im GOP und wollten anschließend noch was leckeres Essen. Wir hatten uns auf chinesisch geeinigt und um.die Ecke gab es das Restaurant Mandarin. Wir beschlossen unser Glück dort zu versuchen. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Aus der umfangreichen Speisekarte war schnell für jeden etwas leckeres zu finden. Die Gerichte kamen ungewöhnlich mit etwas zeitlichem Abstand nacheinander, waren aber ausnahmslos alles sehr lecker und die Preise angemessen! Beim nächsten Besuch in der Essener Innenstadt solltet ihr hier Mal vorbei schauen. Es lohnt sich 😊

Nur eine ältere Bedienung die in Ruhe alle Gäste freundlich bedient. Wenn man es nicht eilig hat, kann man hier sehr gut essen. Das Ambiente ist nicht so schön aber das essen ist sehr gut.

吃了土豆丝、烤鸭、临沂炒鸡，感觉都挺不错；店面装修很好；服务员也没什么问题

Eigentlich mein Lieblings-Chinese! Fahre seit fast 30 Jahren extra hierher (besonders an Geburtstagen und Jahrestagen). Ich gebe zu, dass ich ohne Ausnahme immer nur die H9 gewählt habe. Hähnchen süßsauer in heißer Pfanne serviert. Köstlich, ohne Vergleich!!!! Heute gibt es H9 plötzlich nicht mehr. Ich bin sehr traurig darüber. Die Alternative war ok...aber eben nicht in der Pfanne und nicht sooo köstlich, wie H9! Schade!!!

很好吃，特别是牛肉和地三鲜。而且物美价廉。接待的都是年轻人，并没有遇到别的评论里所说的区别对待，相反服务态度都超级友善！强烈推荐！

Sehr unfreundlich. ich bin reingekommen und niemand fragt danach, was ich bestellen möchte. Wenige vegetarische Optionen für ein chinesisches Restaurant. Kein Tofu. 5 Euro für Toilettennutzung für nicht Gäste :)

Leckeres Essen. Schöne Ambiente. Freundliche Bedienung.

Das Rinder-Chop-Suey ist hervorragend!

Das Essen war lauwarm. Es war ein langes Haar im Essen und die sogenannte Erdnusssoße war gestreckt und hatte einen undefinierten Geschmack. Ich gehe auf keinen Fall mehr dahin essen. Sauberkeit ist auch anders
