O Mandarin

Chinese restaurant O Mandarin is perfect for a Sunday night family dinner, a group celebration, or even just some comfort food to-go if you don’t want to wait out the no-reservations policy. Focus on the signature dishes like wild pepper shrimp and crispy rice, or the spicy Mandarin pork shank if you can handle the heat, and keep in mind that the scallion bubble pancake is on every table for a reason. Or, make a game-time decision to go big with the peking duck. And don’t be fooled by the Hartsdale strip mall location: O Mandarin blends modern and traditional elements with lots of carved wood accents that make it all feel like a proper night out.
