Mandarin Express | Our Story

Bringing Halal Chinese Cuisine to Laurel

We bring the bold, authentic flavors of Chinese cuisine to Laurel with our family-owned, 100% halal kitchen. We take pride in serving generous, freshly prepared meals that turn every guest into a member of our extended family.

A Gap Worth Filling

For years, Muslim families and halal-conscious diners in the Baltimore-Washington corridor had few options when it came to real, wok-fired Chinese food. Mandarin Express opened on Laurel Fort Meade Road to change exactly that.

100% Halal, No Exceptions

Every dish on our menu — from Kung Pao Chicken to Crispy Beef to Vegetable Chow Mein — is made with 100% halal-certified ingredients. That's not a footnote here; it's the foundation.

A Menu Built for Everyone

Mandarin and Szechuan classics sit alongside vegetarian and vegan options — from Vegetable Chow Mein to Mango Lassi. Your whole group eats well.

Rooted in Laurel

Regulars return for the Chili Beef and Sesame Chicken — and the feeling of being known. Back-to-back Quality Business Awards for Best Chinese Restaurant in Laurel say it all.

Dine In, Take Out, Cater

Dine in, take out, or let us cater your next event — we're open seven days a week and always ready for you.
