Diamond Bar – Mandarin Taste is well known in the city of Diamond Bar for its delicious, authentic Chinese cuisine, but beginning May 1, they will add a very special show to entertain guests on Friday evenings.

The beautiful and talented Chinese actress, Lipo Li, will be visiting Mandarin Taste for a limited engagement.  Li gets rave reviews for her performance of Face Changing, a magical dance.  Face Changing is part of a three-century-old theatrical tradition that originated in the Sichuan Province of China.  In the performance, each rapid face change represents a different character in Chinese opera, and each character assumes a unique body posture, stance and gait.

“I am delighted and honored to bring the traditional Chinese performing art of Face Changing to the Asian American, as well as mainstream communities,” says Li.  “Through my performances, I wish to further introduce and promote Chinese cultural heritage and further enrich the cultural diversity in Los Angeles.”

Li is a graduate of the Sichuan Province Art Institute, and has performed on many stages, television programs and movies.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see this amazing cultural performance, and take advantage of a wonderful dining experience.  With delicious food, great service and a family-friendly atmosphere, it’s no wonder customers return again and again.  Mandarin Taste has been in business for more than 31 years and is a favorite among locals.

From the popular Champagne Sunday Brunch to the new Friday entertainment, and everything in between – even orders to go! – Mandarin Taste invites you to visit for a taste of China.  Specializing in Honey Walnut Shrimp, Fried Dumplings and Sizzling Rice Soup, there is something for everyone.
