italianchef Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Hey, did anyone eat at Mandarin Cuisine yet? The architecture from the outside looks awesome - and authentic. And the inside has great Asian murals and lanterns. The menu is great. They offer cashew chicken, chicken lo mein, General Tso's chicken, Bourbon chicken, Pepper Steak with onion, pork fried rice, and more! Mandarin Cuisine even offers SUSHI (which is Japanese not Chinese). And the food is quite tasty. This ItalianChef recommends Mandarin Cuisine when visiting PKI! Quote
pki_guy Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 I had the chiken lo mein on the PPN. It was quite tasty. I enjoyed it. The atmosphere was awesome inside and out! Quote
Tanner Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 MMMMM General Tso's Chicken is the best! Can't wait to try it out. How are the prices? Quote
italianchef Posted April 21, 2003 Author Posted April 21, 2003 I can't recall exact prices, but I think that entrees are $6 and change, sushi is $4, and for $9 you can get combo meals (2 entrees plus rice/noodles and an egg roll). For PKI or another amusement park, that ain't bad! Quote
Chris Pki Fan Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 MMM! bourbon chicken was great I will have to try the rest. Quote
pki_guy Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 The prices were actually pretty good. I was suprised! Quote
Chris Pki Fan Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 It's peacful in there too not many customers a good get away. I think it not crowed due to the fact that its not right next to the rides. Quote
DanielRadsgrl Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Sounds too fancey for me. Id ont go to a theme Park and have fancy meals. Quote
Inraider Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 I'd love to have a very nice or even "FANCY" resteraunt at PKI! Anyways, Mandarin Cusine rocks! its a little expensive though, but yet, so is everything else in that park except air! Quote
GreenGhost2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 What about water?is water costly at PKI? hehe ....i like how the Mandarin Cuisine looks and smells but there is a bad side to it...The Nick Store is Connected to the Mandarin Cuisine and now the Nick Store Smells funky!!!! Quote
teenageninja Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Actually i think it was 9.94 for 2 entrees noodles and an egg roll with a drink. Also there are free fortune cookies. I think Mandarin Cuisine is a great resteraunt and I really like it. Quote
DragonLord Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 I want to know when they will take over Oscars! Quote
fyrfyter Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Mandarin Cuisine even offers SUSHI (which is Japanese not Chinese). And the food is quite tasty. This ItalianChef recommends Mandarin Cuisine when visiting PKI! Any idea what kind of sushi they serve, and whether it is made fresh daily? Sushi that isn't made fresh daily is unhealthy for you. I like California Rolls, though when it comes to sushi. A little soy sauce, some wasabi to spice it up a notch. Quote
shadow2k3 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Mmm, sushi... I'll have to check that out. Gotta get the far east in me somehow, you know? ~Shadow~ Quote
matt3224 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 I haven't been able to see it yet... Just wandering... are the employees dressed in PKIwear? Or do they get to have different uniforms? I think it would be dumb if they wore the Park Uniforms... Quote
Beastfreak Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Since they are not technically employeed by PKI only contracted, they do not have to wear the PKI associate wardrobe. They wear their own dress (whatever that might be). I know they were these cool Chinese hat thingies since Waren County Health Department rules say any person preparing food must wear a hat or hairnet. Quote
coasterville Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 I ate at "Mandarin Chineese" on April 12th. (Around 1:30 if anybody really cares) Atmosphere is wonderful, but I do wish them more customers. I had the General Tso chicken, which was not quite like the General Tso chicken I get at my favorite Chinnese place, the Blue Gibbon. The food at the PKI restaurant is about on par with a shopping mall food court orinental restaurant. However, the value for price is actually pretty good. I had General Tso Chicken, with a brocoli garnish, a generous heaping of Fried Rice, an eggroll, and a fortune cookie for about $6.50, the massively overpriced soft drink brigs the total check to just shy of $10. (To compare the lunch price of General Tso at the Blue Gibbon, which would include the General Tso Chicken, premium vegetables, fried rice, and a cup of soup is $5.50, so the price markup is not that bad.)

teenageninja Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 They have their own uniforms the park kind of brought them in they control themselves, but are still under KI control to an extant. Quote
matt3224 Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Ok i see now... i did not know they were contracted. Quote

Since I don't eat seafood, I didn't try them. Quote
Chris Pki Fan Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Do they have any hibachi steak or chicken even though it is japannese? Quote
fyrfyter Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Mandarin Cuisine's "sushi" are California Rolls. Since I don't eat seafood, I didn't try them. Sweet, A Plus for me. For all those interested, you might want to try the Sushi as generally california rolls are made with imitation crab meat, not real crab meat. Quote
DragonLord Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 A little off topic but someone asked about the price of water... water glass of ice water (or just water) is free in the park if you ask for it. Why pay for a bottled water (somewhere around 2.50 I think) when you can have water for free? Quote
Beastfreak Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Cause it doesn't make the park any money. People don't get the free water mainly cause the Coke and everything else is just placed in their face and the thoughts going through people's heads is "lets get our food and sit down" so they rush and get the first thing they see. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Hmmmmmm....I love Coke...But BeastFreak your right people just wanna hurry up and sit down with there food and they get the first thing they see...but when i get something i make sure i know what i want because lets face it PKI's Food is Expenisve! Quote
Losing Streak Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Some people like the fact that it's in a bottle because they don't have to drink it all or throw it away before they get on the ride, and they can refill that if they want, or buy another one. Also, some people don't know you can go up to stands with a tap and get free cups of water. Quote
Chris Pki Fan Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 I always get the free water from the stands. You have to keep hydrated to enjoy the park. Im not cheap though i pay for eal drinks when i sit down and eat. Food=Money= New ride and attractions Quote
Inraider Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 Its a movie theme park! they can pull the cash from someplace else, not our pockets! Quote
Losing Streak Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 (edited) If they pull the cash from somewhere else, then the park wouldn't make any money and they'd either stop adding, raise the prices, or close the park. Admissions makes a lot of money, but food is just as important, along with merch. Edited January 1, 1970 by Losing Streak Quote
italianchef Posted April 24, 2003 Author Posted April 24, 2003 Do they have any hibachi steak or chicken even though it is japannese? Sorry, no Hibachi food at Mandarin Cuisine. Quote
