“We had a wonderful experience at Mandarin Buffet! The food was fresh and the selection was great. A special thank you to our servers, Maribeth,Tiana and Mimi, for being so attentive and friendly. They made sure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be back!”

Got lunch here with my friends, the restaurant is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated with a festive atmosphere. We had a reservation so there was no wait, but there was quite a long line for walk-ins. Huge buffet selection with lots of Chinese staples, seafood, and comfort foods – the variety is definitely the highlight. Some dishes were better than others, with a few items feeling average or not as hot, but overall there’s plenty to choose from. Service was friendly and attentive, and the dining area stayed comfortable even when busy. Solid experience and good value for groups.

We had such a great dining experience at Mandarin, and a huge part of that was because of our server Maribeth.

From the moment we were seated, Maribeth was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. She greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel comfortable right away. She checked on us regularly without being intrusive, made sure our drinks were always refilled, and promptly cleared plates so our table stayed clean and organized.

What really stood out was her positive attitude and patience, even though the restaurant was clearly busy. She handled everything smoothly and efficiently, never rushed us, and always made sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to find a server who balances friendliness and professionalism so well, but Maribeth truly did.

Because of her excellent service, our overall experience at Mandarin was even more enjoyable. She made the visit feel relaxed and pleasant, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about providing great customer service.

Came here during lunch on a weekend. It definitely gets busy so reservations are recommended. There is a great variety of food and options to choose from although I will say it lacks flavour and lower quality on some of the food options. Staff is excellent, and atmosphere is nice.

Loved it, I love going there. Nice variety of foods, delicious desserts as well. I really loved their blue alcoholic drink. Forgot to show my first plate but it was amazing I absolutely loved their food and atmosphere was really good and overall good experience.
