Mandarin Gourmet

Mandarin Gourmet serves Chinese food on West Roxbury Parkway in Chestnut Hill, with a menu that covers familiar takeout choices and dishes for a shared sit-down meal. Sesame chicken, kung pao shrimp, lo mein and fried rice are among the options. Soups and lettuce wraps give you a way to start smaller before deciding how much to order.

The restaurant is at 1020 West Roxbury Parkway, so use that address when searching rather than assuming the Chestnut Hill name means a Boylston Street shopping center. Online ordering is available through its website. For a group meal, a noodle dish, a vegetable choice and a couple of mains let everyone try more than one thing. Confirm ingredients and spice preferences with the restaurant if those details matter to your order.
