Me and my husband came to this branch of Mandarin almost by accident. We were new to the region and were looking for places to have lunch around the area. I was feeling like having chinese food, so it looked appealing enough for a good lunch.
We didn't know, though, that it was all-you-can-eat buffet. This is not a downside since the food is good, especially for the price they charge (for 2 people, including drinks, tips and tax it was around $40). But I think it is not a place to go everyday -- I went there twice and the salad selection was pretty much the same. There are plenty of choices for desserts but most of them looks very pre-made and are not much tasty.
However, the service is nice and the place is clean. It's definitely a place you can go once a couple of months when you feel like eating a lot and not paying too much for that.
