Food: Palatable fare with pitfalls
New Mandarin Garden's Won Ton Soup and Shrimp Dishes are a delight to the palate. The Kung Pao Chicken adds a punch of spiciness. Portions are generally ample, giving value to its patrons. However, the creative flair is betrayed by somewhat bland and dry tasting options that leaves customers desiring for more.
