The ushering in of summer means longer days spent at the beach, enjoying the island’s tropical weather. It also means that graduation season is here for college and high school students, with many of their parents wanting to celebrate their graduate with a party (or two). Get the family together at The Mandalay, your celebration destination.

Located in the heart of busy downtown Honolulu, the restaurant offers a tranquil setting complete with a pristine dining area. Find dim sum picks served until 5 p.m. daily, as well as popular Chinese dishes found throughout the menu.
