| - Let me start off by saying when I go to the Mandarin, I am not expecting the greatest quality food. I am expecting chinese take out quality, and a hell of a lot of dessert. Oh and soup and salad to make me feel better about my over indulgence. I also expect to spend the rest of the evening on the couch or in bed, hating myself and planning my visit to the gym in the AM. This is why I go once a year, at most, but people: do NOT go to the Mandarin before a night out of drinking. I have so many friends who do this, and while it seems like a good idea, it never turns out well.
The Mandarin (not just this location) has the friendliest staff ever. Really, if it weren't for the staff and excellent service, I wouldn't return. I'm not big on buffets but it is always nice to go somewhere where there is truly food for everyone (pizza, sushi, roast beef, yorkshire pudding, even a full turkey dinner around thanksgiving) and I'm telling you, the staff always put a smile on my face!
Avoid this (and any Mandarin) like the plague on holidays though. The wait to get seated is crazy.
