The Mandarin is located at 725 Kapiolani Avenue, and is definitely one of my favorite restaurants.
I admit, the foods a bit oily so it is a guilty pleasure. However, most Northern Chinese Restaurants do have oily dishes. However, when you tastes the dishes, it's like an addiction. The chef's most acclaimed dish is probably the "Mongolian Beef" which I order every single time. The fried princess prawns are definitely mouth-watering. There's a pretty vast amount of menu items to choose from, and often times there is complimentary kim chee, but don't expect it to be the korean kim chee that you are use to. The prices here are modest, and most of the dishes are $7 -15 with some exceptions. This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants, but it is definitely not preferable if you're watching what you eat.
