A Taste of Mandarin

If you are looking for a perfect venue for a family celebration, A Taste of Mandarin at Gaisano Country Mall is the place to be. My mind was refreshed when I got invited to do a review of this Genuine Chinese Restaurant. I remembered the first time I visited this place was when we had our familiarization tour as a hotelier years ago. We would recommend the place for our guests craving for Chinese dishes.

Indeed A Taste of Mandarin has been serving us authentic Chinese food for decades. We might have a lot of restaurants opening up everywhere in Cebu but A Taste of Mandarin will always be at par with everyone else.

The moment you set your feet inside the big glass door of A Taste of Mandarin, your eyes will be stuck with the colors of gold and red surrounding the place. You can't help but notice the elegance of the interiors. Once you are inside the reception area of the restaurant, you will be greeted with the warm smile from their associates and will be ask right away if you have a reservation and for how many people.

As I have observed, A Taste of Mandarin has big tables, thus enhancing the sense of being a family oriented restaurant. As what Miss Alexis Gaisano said,  A Taste of Mandarin is encouraging families to eat together and celebrate good times here.  They also offer functions rooms for parties. They have two private rooms  and they offer set menus too for easier arrangement.
