Mandarin Takeaway, Port Erin is a long-standing, family-run Chinese takeaway that’s been a firm favourite in the south of the island for many years. Conveniently located on Church Road and just a short walk from the beach, this welcoming local spot has become a go-to for anyone craving authentic, flavourful Chinese food made fresh to order.
Whether you're picking up dinner for a quiet night in or grabbing food to enjoy while watching the sunset over Port Erin Bay, Mandarin Takeaway delivers consistently satisfying meals with warm, friendly service. It’s an ideal stop after a beach walk, a day out in the south, or simply when only classic Chinese comfort food will do.
The menu is broad, offering a little bit of everything — from light starters and vegetarian options to heartier main courses and chef’s special banquets for those looking to sample a range of flavours. You’ll find all the favourites here, with plenty of choice to suit every appetite and spice preference.
Popular dishes include the Sweet & Sour Chicken, which is crispy and tangy in all the right ways, and the Beef with Black Bean Sauce, a rich, savoury staple that keeps regulars coming back. The Chicken Balls with Sweet & Sour Sauce and Crispy Shredded Beef in Chilli Sauce are also standout picks for those after something bold and satisfying. Seafood fans will appreciate options like King Prawn with Cashew Nuts or King Prawns with Garlic and Ginger, while the Roast Duck Chinese Style and Aromatic Crispy Duck with Pancakes offer something a bit more indulgent.
For vegetarian diners, there’s a dedicated selection that includes stir-fried seasonal vegetables, tofu dishes, and Vegetarian Spring Rolls, as well as Mixed Vegetable Curry and Vegetarian Vermicelli Singapore Style. With a wide variety of soups, side dishes, and appetisers too — including Mandarin Special Soup, Spare Ribs in BBQ Sauce, and Salt & Pepper Chips — you can build the perfect meal, whether you’re feeding one or many.
Mandarin’s Chef’s Special Banquets are a popular option for couples or small groups. Available for two or more people, these set meals include a mix of appetisers, mains, and sides that showcase some of the best flavours on the menu — ideal for sharing and sampling.
Service is fast and efficient, with phone orders available and a team that’s always happy to accommodate dietary requests where possible. The takeaway is open every evening, with slightly later hours on Friday and Saturday, giving you flexibility whether you’re grabbing an early dinner or a late-night treat.
On a sunny evening, many locals and visitors like to collect their order and enjoy it along the nearby promenade or down by the shore, where the views of the bay make for the perfect takeaway setting.
For a reliable, flavour-packed meal made with care, Mandarin Takeaway remains one of the south’s most trusted names for Chinese cuisine — a staple of Port Erin life and a tasty option any day of the week.
