  • This was my first time visiting Mandarin, so naturally besides commercials I've seen I didn't really know what to expect. I'll break this review down into categories to potentially make it easier for those of haven't gone before either. First Impressions: When I walked in I was greeting by a massive entrance with extremely high ceilings and a little pond filled with fish. In summary a very nice entrance and probably one of the better ones (buffet exclusive) I've seen. I should add that all Buffets generally have the same type of open concept entrance opposed to traditional restaurants. Therefore my impressions are based on me comparing other Buffets to this place. Service: Since we went on a Saturday naturally we had to wait (20 minutes). The hostess took our name and we took a seat and had some free popcorn while we waited; this can prove to be dangerous as it can fill you up. Anyways when our turn came, we had a server come and introduce himself, he asked who put there name down and gave that person an "extra special" greeting which was very very odd to me. As this was my first time the server showed us around and told us where the various food stations were. As we walked to our table we must have been passed over to several severs (5 to be exact). They each walked us to a certain distance while another one then took over, this is very cool but also once again very very odd; to me at least. Once we were finally seated we were given water and we made our way to get food. The food: The reason why the review is very poor is due to the very bad food I had during my visit. Most of the food is extremely tasteless or is so salty you think your Cholesterol will spike if you take another bite. The only thing I could stand to eat was the dumplings as they had a certain amount of tastelessness that I could handle. When it was time to grab dessert the majority of my calories came from there as I couldn't stand the food at all. Even though the majority of my dessert was okay they still managed to put an unthawed cake out, I subconsciously took it and was greeted by chunks of ice in my mouth. Final thoughts: Now this may seem a little far fetched but as I sat there I noticed how "stereotypical" this restaurant is. Whatever you perceive to be related to Asian/Chinese culture is here (Decor, Pandas, Colourful Umbrellas, Music, and Dragons), it was so apparent that is was offensive. Even though I'm not Chinese I felt insulted for them. Asides from that the service is top-notch but the food isn't.
