mandarin bistro chinese & thai restaurant

bestchineseand thai in nwa!. fresh vegetables, fresh oil, fresh and tender meat, fresh positive attitudes, all with what must be the fastest, freshestchineseand thai food in northwest arkansas! thank you mandarin and your chef, and your choice in business model for quality then quantity. this is the food you want, the good stuff you've been looking for, the why can't everyone be this good. a single order, say glass noodle pad thai medium spicy with extra peanuts, can take up to three meals to eat, each time getting better and better, but- it ready in about ten minute! so call on the way, don't forget the eggroll, this food is delicious! [ i haven't had a bad dish yet, thai hot is too hot for me, and if or when you start delivering chow fan to game day college kids, watch out wildwings...wait i should start that... ]

surprisingly excellent. thischineserestaurant hide in a forgetful corner at a shopping center in tontitown, i really surprise that they have the excellent food and great choices of different asian entree. if u like spicy, u should try their jalepeno chicken or mongolian beef. both are equally great.

a good quality of foods with reasonable price. a great portion of food with reasonable price. i strongly recommended mongolian chicken and coconut curry chicken, that are the both entree you can not find anywhere in northwest arkansas.

not bad but could use some love.  all the food was greasy.  hot and sour soup had stale (what appeared to be) corn chips placed in the soup instead of on the side.  value was there, friendly service just don't know if i would ever return unless in the area and had a hankering for greasychinesefood.

this my family's favoritechineserestaurant. have eaten there enough that we are now on a first name basis. it's hard to say which dish is my favorite. but if i had to choose i'd say the peanut butter chicken. also try the cashew chicken, and the green curry.

i can not recommend this place enough. if you likechineseor thai food you should come here. $8 for a lunch special. again i say, you should at least try it.

very good. eaten there twice ... two good meals ... reasonable price ... will definitely keep going ... best part is diverse menu with both thai andchineseofferings ...

greatchineseand thai cuisine. we stopped for dinner and the food was amazing!

goodchinesefood. fresh, delicious, try the dynamite chicken

awesome thai food!!!. i love to eat thai food and have eaten at all the thai places in springdale so i decided to try mandarin for dinner tonight. i'm glad i did because the food was awesome,-this will be my new go-to place for thai food in springdale. it's perfect for a picky family because they offer both thai andchinesefoods. i had their thai food tonight and will be back next time to try something off theirchinesemenu.

happy they moved to springdale. we had tried them as mandarin bistro when they were in tontitown, now that they are in springdale i catered lunch for the branch and everyone raved at how good the food was. the dynamite shrimp is just that dynamite and spicy so order with caution because it is hot but oh so good.. best lo mein in nwa we've tried almost everychineserestaurant and this is the best for lomein... haven't had anything i didn't love... try the thai fried rice little different then regular fried rice .... we eat here several times a month.

finally!. we have been searching for good lo mein in nwa..and have been disappointed time after time. not this time, mandarin bistro is it. first time there very skeptical. we had chicken lo mein, jalapeno pork and chicken fried rice. rice was just a little dry but fried rice is supposed to be on the dry side. the noodles were very good. the jalapeno pork on the fried rice gave it the right amount of moisture and added huge flavor. very happy now we can head out to tontitown, hit the winery and mandarin bistro ... try it it is really good.

we were brought in by a coupon received in the mail. so glad we gave it a whirl! cute atmosphere, friendly staff, good prices, and most importantly - great food!!! tried a thai dish andchinesedish. both were delicious.

amazingchinesefood! the l.... amazingchinesefood!
the location is a put off but don't let that stop you from eating here.
i talked to the waitress and she said they were moving to a better location soon!

just wow. this place has excellent food for a great price. their service is very quick and very friendly and their food is delicious. i'm not sure if you would call it authentic, but whenever i'm looking for a classic (american)chineserestaurant, this is definitely where i plan on going.

we both ordered noodle dishes, and included with those dishes was the salad bar with soup and small desserts. we had plenty of food left over for lunch the next day.

one word....mmmmmm! my wife and i tried this place last night and it was as good as i had read on here about. great service, good prices, and man do they give you a lot of food, which is surprising these days. you will have plenty to take home. we got the mongolian beef and kung pow chicken and both got some hot and sour soup. the hot and sour had great flavor, but man was it spicy hot! almost too hot. i liked it but my wife thought it was too hot. and we love hot and sour soup. we get it at everychineseplace. this is probably my top two hot and sour, and possibly top overallchineseplace. we have eaten at a lot ofchineseplaces too. including pf changs. just as good but more food and cheaper. try it!!

best i've found in arkansas. the mandarin bistro is friendly and it is a pleasant place to dine or get take out. we have tried several of their dishes and have been happy with all. i love kung pao chicken and the first time i ordered it was sweet. where we lived before it wasn't sweet, so i ask if they could make it not sweet for me and they made it with the brown sauce and i love it and order it often. their fried rice is excellent, it's not greasy. we have tried many otherchineserestaurants in the area and not compare!
