Always have good sushi rolls. Snow roll is the best. Hong Kong street noodles with steak is also good. Good size portion an oh so tasty! I do miss their avocado salad. Imagine a Kani salad inside an avocado shell. That was unique...

The service here was AMAZING! We went here in a whim and it was a great choice. My friends and I wanted a nice restaurant to talk in and get some fantastic food and it checked all the boxes. Highly recommend mandarin spice to everyone!

Great for a family celebration! We had a party of 8 and ordered a variety of dishes and appetizers, which came quickly: wontons, nigiri, sushi, tea, cocktails. Then our entrees: fried rice, spider roll, pad Thai, sweet 'n' sour chicken, orange chicken, pineapple fried rice. One person thought their food should have been hotter. Server was attentive and removed plates as needed. Ended with tiri-misu for all. Easy to visit at our round table and very subdued music. Menu had lots of choices. Highly recommended.

This place has amazing food! The service has never been bad. Nice, quiet ambiance. I strongly recommend this place of you like asian cuisine.

Greatly enjoyed the food. I had double crunchy roll and husband had beef and broccoli. Beef was prepared perfectly. Service was good.

Came here for a birthday dinner - Jake was an amazing waiter and took great care of us with drinks, sake bombs, and cake! Best sushi in town by far with such friendly employees!

My family loves Mandarin Spice. The menu has so many great options. Some of our favorites are the pineapple fried rice, wontons, and any of the sushi rolls. The service is friendly and generally fairly quick. This is a great local spot in CR.

Half priced sushi! Here's what we had: Rock N Roll California Roll Philadelphia Monster Mixed Veggies + Rice Fried Rice + yum yum sauce (highly recommend) Cheese Wontons Our waitress Lisa was kind and funny. The food took a WHILE (45 mins or so) so if you're in a rush this maybe isn't the place. There was about a 5 min wait for a table but there was 6 of us so that's understandable. Overall 4/5 just because of the wait. Everything else was great and food was impressive as always.
