Mandarin is a hidden gem of a Chinese and sushi restaurant that also embraces Japanese, Thai and Korean fare. The Bangkok Bowl is a bowl of hot beef and potato curry over rice garnished with peanuts and cucumbers. It’s a savory dish, with a coconut base, and is great cool-weather food. While you’re there, try the Red Devil Roll. This house special is red snapper tempura wrapped in rice with shredded crab and a sweet/spicy sauce on top. It is very accessible to first-time sushi eaters.
