Mandarin King — Restaurant in Laguna Beach

My family and I rarely eat out but I have seen this little gem from my daily drives home on pch. We brought my mom here for her birthday with my sister and dad. Let me just say we hadn’t had Chinese for over 5 years and we were just blown away with the deliciousness and quality of the food and service!! The owner is incredible and so kind and thoughtful. He remembered to save a table for us when I came in during lunch to make sure we had a place at dinner.

We ordered: (all came out fresh and hot) Orange Chicken ~ AMAZING!!! The flavor and the crunch was the best ever! Vegetable Chow Mein - So delicious and flavorful Egg rolls (on the house for my mom!) crunchy and fresh and hot! Mongolian Beef - delicious flavors and beef was cooked to perfection

Do yourself a favor and try it and you won’t be disappointed. Thank you team Mandarin King for the BEST experience!!! We will continue...

Came here for dinner with my partner. I really enjoyed my food, but unfortunately a few things that happened there did not make us feel good or welcome. For starters, we only ordered waters and immediately got a strange attitude from the server and that person and another worker were looking at us. I shook it off.

I had been surfing all day and did look a bit run down, but I was not expecting that reaction in a literal surfing/beach town. Especially since I myself work in a service industry and understand the importance of tipping. I hope others don’t have an...

The food was great. We got the family dinner for 3, I highly recommend. When you first come in you get a nice salad with lemon water or whatever you want to drink. With the family dinner you get sizzling rice soup. I was wondering if would be okay, it was great it had a great taste. Then you appetizers you get fried wontons, egg rolls, potstickers, and paper wrapped chicken(better than it sounds). At this point we were getting full. The we picked three items. We choose sweet and sour chicken, cashew chicken, and house special chow mein. Sometimes with cashew chicken you get all celery not the case, there was a lot of meat and cashews. We also got white rice with our meal, it was so soft and dare I say heavenly. The staff were amazing and friendly. Would come again if I ever come to laguna...
