"Best and biggest Chinese Buffet restaurant I've been to, and will continue to enjoy. The selection is overwhelming: over 150 items or dishes to choose from. \n\nPrime rib and Yorkshire pudding station and all usual sides. A grilled meat station. Chinese dumplings and choice of three sauces. Pizza. Sushi station. Two soups with crackers and bread choices. Two looong tables of cold salads, vegetables, pickles/olives, fruits, cheeses, fish and shrimps/prawns. Two loooong tables of Chinese and Canadian hot dishes. \n\nFor dessert: a hard ice cream station and soft serve frozen yogurt station. And the best part . . . two looong stations of \"French\" and Chinese pastries, including fresh cut fruit, cakes, pies, cheesecakes, creme br\u00FBl\u00E9e, chocolate fixes, puddings, squares, cookies and even jello.\n\nThat's all I can remember. It's quite a good \"pig out\".\n\nCrab legs are featured on the weekend (prices higher then too).\n\nI've been going to Mandarin since it first opened as a restaurant on Queen Street in Brampton, and then as the first buffet \n further down the street, and now the grand buffet restaurant here in south Bramalea, with its theme rooms.\n\nIt's perfect for out of town guests or newbies, as everyone can find something to their liking. It's not just Chinese-Canadian food.\n\nWhat it does over other buffets of the same type is that it has higher quality and care, plus turnover, so the food has better potential for freshness, taste and/or crispness.\n\nOh sure, the sushi doesn't contain fish or seafood, and the prawns are previously frozen and have a sulphite taste because they have been treated, but that's normal, and most people won't notice or care anyways. I don't. \n\nService is brisk, and overly welcoming, in Cantonese, English or Mandarin."^^ . . "0"^^ . "4"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . . . "2013-07-10T00:00:00"^^ .
