Mandarin Delight — Restaurant in Beltsville

First I’d like to say that I have ordered from this restaurant many times to go and the food has always been exceptional. This was my first time dining in. The restaurant was practically empty. There was only one person sitting down eating already. The man at the front sat us down. We Took a look at the menu and ordered pork fried rice and pork chops. This is a party of 2 keep in mind. On the menu it states a lunch and dinner version of what you want to order but according to the server that only applies on to go orders and dining in is only 1 size. The rice finally came and it was delicious like always. It took quite awhile for the pork chops to finally come out by then my cousin and I had finished our fried rice. We noticed before we were served our pork chops a man had come and sat down and ordered food. And with in a couple minutes was served all his food. While we were still waiting for our pork chops. It seems this place tends to prioritize to go orders rather than dining in. Or prioritize people they already know first. Our pork chops were disappointing. Not what I was expecting. Very rough meat Some pieces tasted old with a peculiar odor basically orange chicken but with pork chops and vegetables . Safe to say we did not finish the pork chops. By the time the check came. They already charge you a “service fee” of 4 dollars which I find quite ridiculous. First time I ever eat in at a restaurant and they automatically charge you money to serve you the food. On top of that they expect some tip on the bill. Safe to say I won’t be dining in anymore or ordering the pork chops. I’ll stick to the fried rice and orange chicken and...

Due to high reviews we took a chance on this place for take out. We didn’t order til we got there because they never answered the phones. No big deal to us - but when we got there we asked if they had Soy wings. They said yes. I asked again and they said they have them. So ok i placed my order with an older guy. We wait outside for about 15 min and come back in. There was an older lady at the counter this time and we said we had the soy wings. She said ok and grabbed our bag. We go allll the way home (20 min) only to find out we had plain wings. We call them and they said they gave us plain wings because they don’t do Soy wings 😒 i came back to get my money back and they gave me so much trouble over it. They demanded I give them the chicken back before I got my money back. They were so adamant about it I felt they were going to try to resell it so I asked to keep the wings with my money back (to prevent them from reselling it) and we had a huge fight over it. I Took the wings and my money back. I didn’t eat the wings, I just trashed them so they wouldn't resell them. I have no clue what their food taste like but I’ll never going to an establishment that lies on purpose for...

I ordered for the first time today, and I wish I had known about this place sooner! The prices are amazing, but the FOOD. I honestly have not had such fresh-tasting, quality food in a while. We got the shrimp fried rice, chicken lo mein, beef and broccoli, crab wontons, and wonton soup.The fried rice was so flavorful and had a lot of shrimp. The lo mein was also delicious and you can tell it's made with fresh chicken and vegetables. The beef and broccoli, hands down the best I've ever had. The crab wontons had the perfect ratio of wonton to filling, and also seemed really fresh. They were a little different than other crab wontons I've had (less sweet, more creamy, which makes me think they're made in-restaurant). The woman who helped us also seemed so sweet, and the restaurant was full of smells of the amazing food. They have a big dining room in the restaurant too so it is great for dining-in if you don't want take out. Will definitely be going back and I would recommend...
