Mandarin kitchen dim sum menu full#
We were definitely full when we left, 9 dishes later- and all in all (including 15% tip) it was $52.80 for 2 people. At Mandarin Kitchen, the egg custards are very light and not as eggy as custards I’ve had before. These little guys are a favorite of mine.

They were so sweet and simple and the dumpling skin had a great consistency!Ībove is the Egg Custard dessert with cinnamon on top. My favorite of the meal was the shrimp dumpling dish (left by the tea). They wrap a raw shrimp and place it in the dumpling so the tail sticks up when it’s cooked. The shrimp and pork shumai were meaty and filling. The crackly exterior was Chinese five spiced. The BBQ pork ribs were set atop fried tofu. We got some BBQ Pork Ribs on the bone,Shrimp and Pork shumai, Shrimp Dumplings Seaweed salad, and an order of the Shrimp rolls. I’m not the biggest fan of chicken feet but he said they’re the best ones he’s had in town! The little slice of scallop on top with salty roe made these dumplings special.ĭavid had to order his Fried Chicken Feet. Although these dumplings are more shrimp than scallop, they were a definite must order. We adored the cilantro dumplings and David commented that the cilantro they used was fresh.Ībove are the Scallop and Shrimp Dumplings. Definitely delicious and something you need to try if you like clams!Ībove are the Cilantro Dumplings and Spicy Peanut Dumplings. People come by with carts or trays, you pick out what you’d like and then they mark your paper bill accordingly. They have small, medium, large, and special plates. It took a little while so when the carts come around, make sure to order all the hot food you want- the carts have to travel throughout the entire restaurant (they have hidden back rooms) so it sometimes takes a while. After that, we sat and waited for the carts to rumble by. We were immediately greeted with ice water and hot tea.
They have typical Chinese American dishes like sweet and sour chicken and very traditional dishes like sauteed pig stomach with bitter melon. We also browsed their huge printed menu- which is unbelievably large.
And if you need more things to keep you occupied, we planned out our entire meal by looking at what other people were ordering. You could look at their pig and duck offerings while you waited. We shoved our way to the counter and added our name to the wait list and luckily only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table for 2. When we arrived, about 10:45am, people were already leaving the restaurant full and happy. Sunday Dim Sum- nothing better! David and I committed and made the drive south to Bloomington, MN to Mandarin Kitchen. I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about this restaurant so we had to try it out.
