  • We come to this location for consistent quality, service and a great selection. I've been to this particular location many times over the years with friends, family and company functions. I rarely eat at Chinese AYCE places but when I do it's usually where the eaters can't decide what to eat and it's a mixed group then this is our go to place cos there is something for everyone. If you are on diet and trying to lose weight I'd suggest to stay away cos the selection is overwhelming. For the money, it's good value and if you eat in moderation, this will be a good experience. The high turnover of food in a busy buffet restaurant is a very good thing... nothing worse than having food under a heat lamp drying up cos no one is eating it. Oddly enough, I don't really enjoy the Chinese food (not much is really authentic and the taste tolerable so nothing you would write home about), sushi or pizza is a forgettable experience (or regrettable depending on your stomach) but it's the roast beef I like here. If you like beef ribs, this is my personal pick though I'm rather fussy when it comes to handling food requiring the use of hands to eat. It's also not good for you if you have health issues which is why I would restrict my appearances here to less than 3-4 times a year unless you enjoy seeing your heart surgeon on a regular basis. Still they have enough variety here where a vegetarian can get by or if you want to just have desserts and salads alone, you can still have someone cart you out in a wheel barrel. One of the good aspects of the Mandarin is you will get the same experience at all their locations and they're always busy. Having said that, I strongly suggest reservations but this caused some problems with our group on our last visit cos there was a party that reserved an entire section for 90 people but only 50 showed up when we requested a section for our group of 70 and all of us showed up. This resulted in us being shoehorned into a smaller section where we were crammed eating (14-15 sitting squeezed at a table that sits 12) while the section next to us had 6 people eating at a table of 12. It was the only time we've encountered this situation and clearly an operations issue that they may want to address. Still this is a solid 4 star establishment.
