My husband and I often eat at Mandarin Asian Bistro and love it there. The staff is friendly and attentive. They have the best wonton soup we have ever tasted. The Kung Pao chicken and Moo shu chicken are also very good. They make a mean lychee martini and will treat you right! Great, fun ambiance. Go!

Good food, prices seemed reasonable. Only downside was no draft beer. Also great live band while I was there.

For my money, the best Chinese food in the city. We order it in usually, and the order arrives hot, i think they cook it in the car on the way over. The restaurant itself is cozy and usually lively. Parking is a bit tough as it's downtown. But it is a great place for some great food and drinks.

One of my favorite places to eat in Lowell. Food is always delicious and ftesh, and the service is always superb. My favorites are the avocado ball (appetizer) and the veggie stir fry with white sauce. Extra bonus: they cater to food allergies and have gluten-free soy sauce. A great value for the food and service, we always come back here!

The best Chinese, any time of day! The best seating and music. It's a respectable family run restaurant that joyfully welcomes you to enjoy. An easy to fall in love with, home away from home. They delightfully serve champagne bottles for two (lovely!) ...

This place has a pleasant, quiet atmosphere and the service is great. They have great hot sour and miso soup, bento boxes, noodle dishes, and sushi. I usually have a bento box with sushi. I have been coming here with friends for lunch between classes.
