Mandarin King — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Took some friends there to eat. when we walked in, we were ignored and waited for someone to acknowledge us. When an elderly lady finally asked us if we were going to dine in and how many in our party, we waited for another hour to be seated (we were about to leave). Once seated, we waited for another 15 minutes until we had to ask for a waiter to come by so we could at least order drinks. by the time the waiter arrived we already knew what to order because we grabbed the paper menus that we saw at the corner of the reception area. once our order was placed, still no drinks or even any water. When the food finally arrived. 5 out of the 7 people in our table got sick immediately and ran to the restroom to vomit. The restroom was so filthy that the first two had to go outside to vomit. How dirty is this place that you don't even want to vomit in a restroom due to its filthy condition. We asked for the check and to speak to the manager. When voicing our concerns to the manager, he apologized and stated that they were short staffed one waiter. (What does that have to do with the quality of the food?). he then offered to take $30 off our $100 total bill and showed no concern only stating that they have been in business for 46 years. Don't go to this restaurant!!! Thinking about calling the Health Inspector about this place. Don't spend your hard-earned money at this place. You will just be paying them to give you...

4 stars? hmm.. i think not. a definite 5 star restaurant. The outside of this restaurant is not compelling or attracting. But that shouldn't matter much if you seek some really good Mandarin Cuisine. You enter this old building and inside looks really huge. The high ceilings is something you wouldn't have expected. The restrooms are old school. I would suggest to update it a bit. "Old school" meaning it doesn't look like your modern restroom at a restaurant. The feel of the restaurant is nice. The menu is broad with many choices. This is the only place that makes the best mongolian beef. The beef with broccoli is pretty good. i would suggest beef with broccoli over rice with extra sauce. The main attraction to eat here is the fish filet. I would order fish in tangerine sauce and have it over rice with extra sauce. the tangerine sauce is definitely to die for. However, if you want to try-out this place first, I would suggest doing the lunch menu and come here for the cheaper and more...
