你好, welcome to the Mandarin!

Established in 1961, this traditional and authentic Cantonese restaurant in Blackpool town centre has been extending a warm oriental welcome to customers for 64 years!

Choose from a mouth-watering selection of delicious dishes including Mrs Wan’s dumplings, made from her own recipe, Szechuan chilli beef, Nasi Goreng and oriental fruit salad with lychee. We are very proud that every dish and every sauce is made in house, because we care about our food.


The belief that every meal shared should be special is why this restaurant takes time to carefully select and prepare the freshest Chinese dishes, adding just three extra ingredients - quality, experience and time.

Our core belief is that we are a local restaurant, open year round for local residents and visitors to the resort alike. We"ve worked for many years with our local suppliers to continue to bring you the best experience of Chinese food in Blackpool.

    Just as it always is - superb food. The best Chinese/Oriental meal you can have and I work and eat out in London. Never get anything as good as this. Staff also extremely good and attentive when required. Can't wait for my next visit

    It was very busy on arrival but once sat down the service was outstanding. Didn’t have to wait for drinks or food given how busy they were. The staff are so polite and helpful too. Food was outstanding, would definitely recommend!
