| - It's always fun to come here with a big group.
While they offer dim sum here, which is something you can't find anywhere else around Champaign, a word of caution: their dim sum isn't all that great...
For the more authentic dishes, go with the ones hand-written in Chinese on the walls. If you're not sure what it is, don't hesitate to ask the owners... plus, you could always close your eyes, point at a random dish on the wall, and see what surprise arrives at your table (I suggest trying this only if you don't have food allergies =P)!
While they do have lunch specials here, the dishes tend to be over-Americanized (like orange/sweet-sour chicken, general tsao's, etc.), but cheap.
As a tip, the owners stock their kitchen on Mondays so for the freshest ingredients, try Mandarin on a Tuesday. Of course, that's not to say that their food is any less on other days!
If you come here often enough and get to know the owners, they often throw in an extra dish or two for free =]
Mandarin Wok reminds me of the Chinese restaurants back home.
