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 fantastic as always. This is the only Chinese restaurant I will eat at. Food and service exceptional. Great staff. Never feel ‘MSG’d’ out after it as it’s so fresh and full of flavour without adding enhancers. Highly recommended.

    Just superb. Was here 16th May 25 for my wife's birthday. We travelled here from North Tyneside and spent the night in Blackpool purely to eat here due to its reputation. The staff were attentive and very friendly on entering. The food was excellent, from the starters Emperor platter and soft shell crabs to the 3 mains we ordered Su Ji Kong Prawns, Duck in Black Bean sauce, and Twice cooked pork. Highly recommend this lovely old school restaurant. I will certainly be returning.
