Mandarin Chef

Know Before You Go: MSG is present in certain items--but the staff assure that it can be omitted upon any request.

The Extras: Ask the waitstaff for any personal recommendations or try ordering off of the "Chef's Specialties" section which offers a variety of traditional favorites such as Mongolian chicken and salt and pepper prawns.

Simple and unpretentious eatery serves up Chinese food in a home-style fashion to U-District students and neighborhood locals.
