Mandarin Palace Hornchurch

Excellent service above and beyond to be honest. The food was very fast and we were treated with respect and courtesy throughout. Usually I begrudge paying service charges and feel companies should incorporate this into food prices for but this was a very rare occasion where I felt I would have tipped more than the service charge if a service charge was not in place. Highly recommended and our young kids really loved it there, the food was great and the staff gave them a lot of attention and freebies to keep them happy while waiting. Best service we've ever had in all of Havering.

It’s been quite a few years now since our last visit but last night we finally went back to the Mandarin Palace in my hometown of Hornchurch. I can honestly say that we won’t be leaving it very long before we return again. We enjoyed great Chinese food along with excellent friendly service from every member of the team. We also loved a couple of old school touches that reminded you of years gone by.

Let’s begin with our arrival which really set the tone for the evening. It was as friendly as you could ever want before being escorted to our table. Once seated we were immediately brought a large helping of prawn crackers. We then ordered a pint of carlsberg (80s) and a glass of rose wine while we looked at the extensive menu.

We decided that despite the appeal of the set menu’s we would order of the main menu to which the waitress was very helpful and said what order the food could be brought to the table. It sounded great so we left it with them. We started with the Gourmet Platter of Five Delicacies ( satay chicken , bbq spare ribs , pancake roll , sesame prawns on toast & crispy seaweed ). We followed this with the with the Assorted Steamed Dumplings.

We now moved on to the main courses where we had the Dried Crispy Pork Belly with hot chilli & garlic , Spiced Chicken in garlic sauce , Mixed Vegetable Chow Mein & Spicy Singapore Fried Rice. All the dishes were perfectly cooked and full of flavour.

We then moved to dessert and I was in for an old school treat when I saw the Fantastica on the menu. This is a crispy chocolate base with layered vanilla & caramel ice cream , caramel sauce and dusted with chocolate biscuit. I followed this with another treat as they did a Floater Coffee.

This brought to an end an evening of great Chinese food with excellent friendly service that makes this restaurant a real credit to not only my hometown of Hornchurch but hospitality itself. I would definitely recommend a visit and for one can’t wait to return once again very soon.

Went here Wednesday night. Food was delicious and waiter/waitress really lovely.
Not been here for ages but will definitely come back. Added bonus of being able to park right next door in their own car park free of charge.

The Chinese restaurant Mandarin Palace in Hornchurch is top rated and tick all boxes !
We as a family going at least once a month for over 5 years there and always had a warm welcome and good food 🥘
The restaurant which is located inside the old building gives you a feel of being in 17th century.
The personnel is very polite and professional and we as a customers will recommend this place for every family who’s looking for a cool and private Chinese food place ☝🏻🥇

Food was good and service ok but the portions were so small on the set menu not worth the money - not even a kids portion
Complained but was told that’s how it is…..totally rubbish
Go to the white swan Woodford much better value
Certainly won’t be going back here again!

Very enjoyable. Food very good. Could do with a coat of paint but don't let that put you off

Always fresh food and good quality meat in their dishes none of that watered down stringy stuff, never had a bad meal from this restaurant. This probably the best Chinese in Hornchurch.Always welcoming and happy to see you.

Very good without being great. Had the "usual" British Chinese fare... Prawn Toast, Spring Rolls, Satay Chicken starters - all v.good!; Mains - singapore rice noodles, chicken chow mein, egg fried rice with Szechuan chicken and a Kung Po Prawns - again, all good too! Desserts - However, not so good! Ice creams that have been in deep freeze for ages. Not soft at all / rock hard. Icicles in the ice cream too. Was the only let down. Also Worth noting- Parking is an issue. Very limited car parking. In short: RECOMMEND.
