New Mandarin Canton Chinese Restaurant

The food is gross. It's like buffet quality or worse. Not worth paying $10. My szechuan beef was so chewy and weird tasting. Odd flavors like too much plum sauce or something sweet in it. Not spicy at all. Old vegetables that were wilted and brown. I couldn't eat much. Even the rice was dry and clumpy. Thought I'd get sick if I ate anymore. I won't be going back. It's a shame that some people think this is great chinese food. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

This is my go to for Chinese food. Always delicious and affordable. I started going here with my parents in grade school and now I take my kid here. Love this place.

Wow great amazing food...great Service..great portions

Always a place with good food

The Mandarin Canton is another decent location that serves tasty and crunchy salt and pepper chicken in the San Diego area, particularly in the city of Chula Vista.

The parking is okay and it can easily get convoluted during peak hours especially on the weekends. The location is only ideal for a small group of people and may not be best for a party of 10 or more. Although the area is affording little or no extra room, its delicious and moderately priced food compensate for the minor inconsistencies.

As previously noted, the salt and pepper chicken is the favorite and a must try when visiting this place. They are fried to a crusty golden brown and then twirled in a garlic, onion leaves, chili spices, minced garlic and pepper blend, which then becomes an obsession.

The chow mein, fried rice and honey walnut all came with jumbo shrimp. Everything is tasty and flavorful. Although I would note that the fried rice contained more soy sauce than anything else.
