Following a yearning to bring traditional and contemporary Chinese food to Memphis, brother and sister, David Wang and Shelly Ansley, opened the doors of Wang’s Mandarin House in 1983. Using her experience in the food distributing industry and his experience in New York’s restaurant industry, Shelly and David began Wang’s Mandarin House with a rental truck full of restaurant supplies and chefs from New York’s bustling Chinatown. The influence from their mother’s home cooking that originated in her hometown in China guided David and Shelly in those first few months. Don’t just take our word for it. Come in today and experience what Memphians have known for years. For the best Chinese food in Memphis, eat local, eat at Wang’s Mandarin House.
