Peter Liu, the owner of O Mandarin (the O stands for Original), wants people to walk into his restaurants and feel like they are walking into an authentic experience.

 

“When you come inside our restaurant, you’ll feel as though you’re walking into China,” he told Westchester Magazine in an interview about his Hartsdale location and the new one he was planning to open in Hicksville on Long Island.

Using fresh, authentic ingredients and an upscale interior design, O Mandarin announced the opening of its second location in late December. Liu says he also hopes to expend into New York City eventually.

 

A big menu that features some of what you might expect at a typical Chinese restaurant but prepared with the freshest ingredients in a traditional way from regions across China.

 

On Yelp, Jonathan K, from Queens, gave it five stars.

 

“I have not been to very many elegant Chinese restaurants, so I was excited to try this place,” he wrote.

 

After commenting on the decor and the friendly staff, he said the food was fresh and flavorful.

 

“Overall, I loved the meal, and will be going back, hopefully with friends, so we can order more food (as it was, we took plenty of food home with us),” he said.

“Delicious and authentic Szechuan food,” Bonsai wrote. “Great atmosphere and great food to be shared with friends and family. The tea smoked duck is a must try.”
