Food: Blended combination plates

Mandarette's Salt and Pepper Tofu stands out because of its phenomenal taste, more so when splashed with spicy sauce - excellent for gluten-free and vegan diners. The General Tao Chicken's crunchiness and flavor were commendable. The House Fried Rice, teeming with meat and veggies, certainly didn’t disappoint the palate. The creativity lauded and the array in the menu is positively expansive though, the taste received mixed reviews and portions appeared inconsistent.
