Mandarin Cuisine — Restaurant in Gloucester Township

Looking for someplace new to try, which brought us to Mandarin Cuisine in Blackwood. I called to order via delivery, but was told I could only do that online. I asked if they used a third party delivery service, but the woman on the phone said, 'No, no, no, no. You just have to order it online if it's for delivery.' Weird, but ok. Turns out, they absolutely DO use a third party delivery service...the prices are marked up considerably and there was a $6.99 delivery charge (I live less than 1/4 mile from them.) Cost me $55.00 to feed 3 people.

One item purchased was a quart of shrimp lo mein, but instead of lo mein, they gave us fried rice. I called and they said, oh, sorry...you can swing by the restaurant tomorrow and we'll give you the lo mein. Um...NO. My family was eating chinese food tonight, so ONE lo mein meal tomorrow night didn't do anything for me. They did bring the replacement.

I had also ordered veggies in brown sauce that all tasted like it had come out of a tin can. I'm guessing the brown sauce was canned and not fresh. What a disappointment!

As for the delivery itself, they put it outside my front door, but never knocked or rang our doorbell to let us know it was here. They did send a text, but I was not near my phone, so I didn't hear it. Our dinner sat outside for half an hour before I saw the text. Who doesn't KNOCK when delivering food??

This was our first experience with Mandarin Cuisine...

We just moved to the area from Ocean County. We enjoy going out to many restaurants when we go to different places and we especially love good sushi. We first tried other sushi places around the area that were rated highly on google (in other areas we have felt Google is usually accurate), and were very disappointed with the quality of the sushi at those places. We found this place and saw that it had all you can eat sushi and originally were not expecting much due to the reviews. However, we were blown away by the quality of the sushi. We ordered multiple rounds of different fish, especially their salmon, as shown in our photo. This is some of the highest quality sushi we have ever had. We can't speak for the other food since we have now always done the AYCE sushi. But, we can not recommend this restaurant enough, we now find ourselves always craving their sushi! We spoke to the family owners and they were very nice. I really have never written a review for a restaurant, but I had to! They have some of the highest quality sushi you can get on the east coast, make sure...
