Good crab legs. It's similar but a step above Imperial Buffet's crab legs, but it's also more expensive than Imperial (also imperial has coupons which makes it much cheaper).
Other food were typical. Roast beef were okay. Bacon wrapped tenderloin was decent. Sashimi and sushi were typical buffet quality, which means they were unremarkable.
The soup variety was okay. I sort of prefer imperial's lobster bisque (which mandarin didn't have). Other varieties were similar.
Service was also similar but a step above imperial.
I miss their lobster thermidor. I probably wouldn't come back again unless they have the lobster thermidor. For me, that's one of the only things that justifies the expensive price compared to Imperial.
Quality: 7.5/10, Service: 8/10, Value: 5.5/10. Overall 7/10 (not an average).
