| - Chinese buffet with Chinese people eating there? This is definitely not the mandarin!
Huge lines ups during Friday Saturday and Sundays. Less busy on weekdays, also cheaper. Try to go then so you can be seated at a decent time.
The food is good - some authentic dishes with the traditional "Canadian" fare you would find at the food courts.
I can't remember what day it was, but they had half lobsters for every guest. It was a bit dry, not my favourite thing from the massive buffet selection.
Fare included: dim sum (ha gow and siu Mai, different dumplings etc), noodle bar!, sushi (it was okay - not mind blowing), salad bar and they had tons of dessert - both the typical cake, jello and ice cream you see at the mandarin, but they had some pretty good Chinese desserts too (tofu dessert - served warm), almond jello, mango jello etc.
Price is more than the mandarin, but it's definitely better quality and service.
