Very authentic Chinese food, I had the sour and hot noodle, it was pretty spicy and delicious! Price is very affordable compared to other restaurants in Rockville.The food is very authentic. One rice noodle I had was very spicy. The price is reasonable. I will try other side dishes and seafood next time.

Delicious food but I would suggest pick up instead of delivery.

I'm surprised that I haven't positively reviewed this restaurant in the past as Mandarin Express has been my go to Chinese restaurant for almost 30 years. I have many wonderful memories of grabbing lunch here with my father. And I loved knowing that this was one of three restaurants that my family could order from without there being an argument, because everyone loved something on the menu. I have hesitated to write this negative review, but my past few orders warrant me posting this. If this review was based solely on the previous 29 years of meals, it would be a five star review, but unfortunately, it's not. My meals over the past year has been in some cases, inedible. For example, the sauce on the crispy beef is so sweet we couldn't take more than a couple of bites. On multiple occasions very common ingredients were missing and substituted with ingredients that just were inappropriate and changed the flavor of the dish. In my last order, all the dishes were missing mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts - three very common ingredients in Chinese dishes. And in all of the dishes, those ingredients were replaced with cabbage, zucchini, and yellow squash, which did not work at all. They changed both the texture and the flavor of the dishes, and it was horrible. Additionally, some of the prices have risen as much as $4 per dish. Perhaps it's new management, perhaps it's inflation, perhaps it's just a really bad coincidence. But unfortunately, I've placed my last order with Mandarin Express and I'm on the lookout for a new favorite Chinese restaurant. I am very saddened to have to written this review. The reason I gave it two stars over one star is because the delivery man is awesome. He's always friendly, kind and very mindful of where he parks his car. Hopefully things change at this restaurant for the better and we can go back soon.

We've been coming here for 20 years. The owners are like family! The cross bridge noodle soup is amazing. We've found no other like it. This is authentic Chinese cooking and comfort food. Bonus, they have the best veggie spring rolls.

The owner do not understand what you are asking to cook. If you are ordering carryout please make sure that she didn't bring you something totally different before you leave.....

For the suckling blue crabs stir-frying experience, you can stop by this little family restaurant. Due to the small female size we paid 17.50 for the crab dish, but the flavors were abundant with yolks. The price might vary depending on the size. The Crossbridge noodle was always a-must in this chill fall weather. The Dill dumpling was featured on the Chef’s Special Board, liked by the table next to us. We’ll try next time!

I would have given 0 stars if possible. The lady was so rude. I park on the customer parking to enter the store she came outside and ask me to move my car not even asking me if i was coming in their restaurant.

Nasty lady, been coming here for years doesn't know how to treat long time customers. With the increased prices please go to any other Chinese restaurant other than here, they don't appreciate your business and the quality of the food is awful.

I come here for Yunnan rice noodles and their Yunnan speciality dishes. My favorites are 小桥米线Small Bridge Rice Noodle, a sour & spicy version of Cross Bridge Rice Noodle, and 避风堂虾仁 Wind Shelter Shrimp. My husband like their dumplings.
