Description:

	Mandarin Gourmet is a reasonably nice Mandarin restaurant.  They
	have a plethora of prawn dishes, and somewhat meager vegetarian
	fare.  Their prices are median for Palo Alto, which makes them
	a bit upscale when compared to a comparable restaurant in Berkeley.
	I'd place them about a star above Taiwan (no grease, slightly more
	interesting menu), but they are also more expensive than Taiwan.

	[Additions by Bill Stewart] The crunchy fried eggplant is 
	especially good.

	Kabuki was probably last at Mandarin Gourmet in April 2001
