Ate here for my aunt and uncle’s 25th wedding anniversary. The place looks old already but it’s not crowded which is perfect for those who wants to celebrate special occasions just like what we did! But of course we were only like 20pax (more or less).
We came here in past often since we stayed in hotels around this area when we were in Cebu (Montebello). They know our face already. Honestly, in past few times we passed this restaurant, but never entered since it looked 'empty' with its huge glass window. On other hand even you put 30 people or more, it still look empty since the place is big. So at the end we entered this restaurant because an old friend living in Apas told me we must try if we love chinese food. We tried almost everything here except Peking Duck. So far we love their food. We will come back here again surely, bit far now since we stay now in Marigondon area when we are in Cebu. The dimsum selection is in 'Tao Yuan' better, but 'Taste of Mandarin' has other specialities. We really can recommend this restaurant to food lovers. They should renovate the restaurant (is our opinion).
I've been to various Chinese fast food restaurants but never have I tried dining at an authentic one. And then the opportunity came when I was invited for another Zomato foodie meetup at the first ever authentic Chinese restaurant here in the metro. A Taste of Mandarin started in 1997 which is operated by the Gaisano and they really hired a head chef from China. A Taste of Mandarin is a nice place when you're looking forward to trying authentic Chinese dishes.
