In 1984, a new style of Chinese Restaurant arrived in Los Angeles; the Mandarette Chinese Cafe.

A pop in pop out, pre or post anything kind of place".

Chinese dinning is the original "family style" meal enjoyed communally with everyone helping themselves to portion of each dish. The meal is a celebration to be enjoyed by all present. A well balanced meal comprises the five basic tastes of Chinese cuisine; acid, hot bitter, sweet and salty. Texture should vary between simple and sauced, crisp and tender. Alternate a tender, steamed dish with a crispy, fried one. After meat, order fish. Follow a spicy dish with a fresh, natural taste. Feel free to ask your server for advice in selecting your meal or even allow them to order for you. If you find that there is an item that you enjoy that is not on our menu feel free to ask, we will do our best to accommodate you request. We also have a large selection of beer and wine to compliment our various dishes.
