Mandarin Village Restaurant in Vancouver Island

Mandarin Village has delicious, fresh food made to order. The staff were super friendly, and I really enjoyed the decor. I have always loved exploring restaurants that have been established in towns for many years, and this one did not disappoint. I plan to go back and try as much of the menu as I can.

Sketchy place.. How does this place stay open, I’ve only ever seen one person walk in there.

Very good love the food very awesome yes

First time here for dim sum. Food was really quite awful. Anything fried tasted like the oil has been expired for a year at least. The steamed versions of the rest of the dimsum was mediocre at best. The sticky rice was bland... & not sticky at all. The wonton soup, pork dumplings, Har Gow and Shao Mai were tiny and also bland. Even the Chinese tea was not good. Only the bbq pork bun had any flavour. Really disappointed. Only reason we gave 2* instead of 1* was because the Chinese lady was super sweet and friendly.

Great family restaurant, have been dining here since 1992 and always enjoy it.

food is amazing, highly recommend

Service was ok but the food was not good. We were the only ones in at dinner time on a Friday night. It should have been an indication. Won't be going back.

Atmosphere is oretty musky and old but thw food was fine, nothing to write home about. The staff is good. Would recommend checking out this place at least once.

Great service, delicious food! Thank you :)

Good food, good service

Hot and tasty

This is the best authentic Chinese food in the comox valley

The food here is great, and the staff are always super friendly to us! Best Chinese food I've had!

Delicious Chinese food made especially for you,.

Very yummy food will eat here again and again.

Generous portions and fresh ingredients. The owner was very friendly and happy to chat with us while our food was being prepared. Highly recommend the crispy ginger beef.

Amazing mouthwatering food!

The food was so good. Better than more expensive restaurants. The staff was warm and caring. I would highly recommend.

Amazing Chinese authentic food

good food, hot and tasty

Good place, good location, good prices, good food. It looks sketchy from the outside but go in, you'll be pleased.

Wonderful service, big portions and yummy food...

Nice people who own and work there but no one ever goes here. Went in and almost felt like walking out because it was too awkward to just come in and eat being the only customer. Food was below average but pretended it was good because the server was standing just watching me eat hahahaha...kinda awkward but he was a nice guy. Won't be coming back but I wish them the best!

Food was good, it's a family business so expect family service.

I called 5 minutes before closing and they were kind enough to take a take out order for us. To add to their kindness, they waited for our arrival which was 30 minutes after closing because we were in the middle of checking into our hotel.To finish, the food was great and portions generous.

Best Chinese meal ever! The food is always tasty and never greasy. Attentive service when dining in and servers are friendly. Very reasonable prices and plentiful portions. You owe it to yourself to try this restaurant out, then make your own decision. You won't regret it.

Absolutely horrible. We Walked in and the lights were off. Plus the server was in jeans and t-shirt, no one else in sight, could not even tell it was open, no service to our table at all and we sat there for 10 minutes, no water or anything, I used the washroom and it was absolutely disgusting, dirty paper towel dispenser didn't even work. We decided to leave due to lack of service and then were commented by staff that we just came in to use the bathroom. Do not recommend.

Yummy. Anne, the owner and head chef, is lovely .

Fantastic food. Great service. I will keep coming back.

Food is extremely over priced for the tiny portions you get, food tastes like the container it was delivered in, charged me way too much for delivery, and the chow mien was disgusting. The only thing that wasn't disgusting was the deep fried wantons, and the only way you can screw up deep fried wantons is if you didn't deep fry them. One star.

The best Chinese food in Courtenay. Mum says, very good!

Called for delivery. Lady was very rude and said they are cash only and literally groaned on the phone when I said I didn’t have cash. Then she hung up. Bad service usually means bad food. Won’t be calling again.

We have eaten here for the 23 years we have lived in the Valley. The family that runs the place are wonderful and it is the best authentic Chinese food in the Valley. Not trendy at all if you are looking for that. But the food has always been great, both delivered and in the restaurant. I’m surprised at the negative comments here based on how crowded the place isn’t at times. It’s not a place to see and be seen for sure but we have always enjoyed the experience. They are the best restaurant we have been to when it comes to welcoming kids as well. Most importantly, the food portions are generous and tasty.

Amazing food friendly atmosphere clean restaurant family oriented they make you feel like you're part of their family not only do you get a meal could you also get a free drink soda pop water with your meal Chris little is $4.95 can you beat that I can't go try it it's really awesome

Amazing food!

As a very large group with children, we were welcomed. As each round of food came out, the kids wanted more because the food was THAT delicious.

Had a great meal here recently with my wife. I had come here previously many years ago and was happy to see that the place still was just as good as I remembered it. Would definitely visit again.

Really good restaurant. The staff is fantastic and friendly. The food was so good i took a general tso chicken and it was delocious. I will come back for sure and i recommand this place to everyone who like Asian food.

Full restaurant walk out due to lack of food preparation. Waited on our food for over an hour, when we asked where our food was at the staff told us "Not even close." yea sorry bye. Never again. The couple behind us didn't get service and someone else who had come in to pick up their delivery, that was ordered around 5, waited until 7 to get their order. So ridiculous it felt passive aggressive. There must've been 5 tables with absolutely no food.

We have been there twice. Enjoyed it both times. The batter they use for eggrolls is very light. Reminds me of flakey pie crust. Some might like it this way. I'm not one of them. Still... Very good

Doesn't look like much but it's hand down the best Chinese food in Courtenay! The owners are super sweet and nice and the food is delicious! Definitely recommend this place.

Was kinda empty the afternoon I went in, but food was great and portions were great too.

Only place in the Valley I will eat Chinese food. People saying its not good probably love QF chinese. Recommend War Won Ton and the Kung Pao Chicken.

Awesome food and staff

Always a great meal

We just ordered from Mandarin while visiting Courtenay. The food was great quality and tasted fresh and delicious.The delivery was fast and the driver was very pleasant. We thought they had forgot the sweet and sour sauce and just as we were about to eat there was a knock on the door and they had come back realizing they'd left it out and even brought a little desert for us. Amazing service we will definitely be back for more.

Terrible.

Fave place for Chinese food in Courtenay. Owners are awesome and great service. We go there for family dinners with our extended family often. Prices and food are good.

wonderful service, food is excellent, chicken hot pot and dry curried ribs are so good, highly recommend

Love the food here. Ginger beef is awesome. The crunchy one. The fried rice is also great.
