Why Go

While most Chinese restaurants on St. Maarten stick to Cantonese standards, Mandarin Pan Asian & Sushi on Union Road in Cole Bay goes continent-wide. The menu spans ramen bowls from Japan, dim sum from southern China, sushi rolls, Thai curries, Vietnamese pho, and wok stir-fries from across the region — a pan-Asian approach that gives every diner at the table their own culinary journey without leaving their seat.

The Experience

Union Road at 155 places Mandarin near the Princess Casino at Port de Plaisance, adding an entertainment-district dimension to a restaurant that already attracts a diverse crowd. The pan-Asian format is the key differentiator: instead of choosing between a Chinese restaurant, a sushi bar, or a Thai spot, Mandarin combines all three traditions into one extensive menu. Ramen bowls — with properly built broth, noodles, and toppings — bring a Japanese comfort-food dimension rarely found on the island. Dim sum adds the shareable, celebratory element of Cantonese tea-house culture. The sushi program, including happy hour specials, makes raw fish accessible at $$ pricing. Wok stir-fries cover the quick-fire, high-heat cooking that defines Chinese and Southeast Asian street food. Open daily from noon to 11 PM with free delivery and takeout options, Mandarin covers every dining situation from a quick lunch to a group dinner to a midnight craving.

What to Try

The ramen bowls are the standout — order a rich, slow-simmered broth with your preferred protein and noodle type. Dim sum is best ordered for sharing: three to four different pieces per person creates variety. The sushi happy hour offers the best value for raw-fish lovers. Pad Thai or a Vietnamese pho round out the pan-Asian exploration.

Insider Tip

Sushi happy hour timing varies — ask when you arrive or check their social media. Free delivery makes Mandarin a strong option for villa and hotel guests who want Asian food without going out. Union Road at 155 is near Port de Plaisance — use the casino or resort as your landmark. The late hours (until 11 PM) make this one of the few Asian restaurants open for a proper late dinner.
