I’ve been to this location many times and the table service is always horrible. Since this is a buffet, the only job of your server is to clear the dishes off of your table and to bring drinks to your table. As always, the dishes at my table piled up while my server continued to walk around the dining area and collect dishes from other tables, I had to flag him down and tell him to take my dishes away. He also forgot to bring water to my table, forgot to bring us straws, and didn’t fill our glasses as they emptied. This random server girl brought us our bill early while my guests were still eating, the manager(woman in blazer) came to our table to apologize. When it came time to pay the bill I did something that I have never done in my entire life, I LEFTNOTIP. I was beginning to feel a tad guilty, but I knew I had made the right decision when the server ripped the receipt and tossed it into my lap and walked away without a word. I mean, you had to have seen this coming. On another occasion I recall my servers secretly including a $ 15 «service fee» on every one of my friend’s bills(we paid separately), none of us noticed and included a tip in the cost. It was after my friend asked for a detailed receipt that we all noticed this. There were eight of us so they secretly got $ 120 in tips from my table. A word of advice, ask for a detailed receipt before swiping your credit card here.

Ah mandarin, where you eat 5x the servings you normally would in a day and are full of regret by the end of your meal. Food is okay, rice is dry, sushi is subpar. Most of the cakes are really good, frozen yogurt is really good.

The last time I went to Mandarin restaurant was about 14 years ago at the Yonge and Eglinton location. I decided to come to this branch for good old times sake and because I didn’t know they would differ. The service kind of lagged, since they did not take our empty plates on time and when I had no choice but to place my empty plate on the empty table next to us, they complained that I shouldn’t do so. Well, where am I supposed to put my plate when you don’t pick it up on time? I only enjoyed the lobster legs and everything else was extremely mediocre. I can’t recommend this place at all, since the quality is very low and the options are small. It literally feels like going to an all you can eat Chinese take out at your local mall. If that’s your thing then by all means come here. If not, don’t waste your money and consume your high sugar, high glutamate dish with fattening low quality desert. I only give this place a 2 star, since another waiter helped me teach how to get the meat out of the lobster leg. By the way, there’s no proper lobster utensil to use at this place.

Mandarin Restaurant is not a chic place and you shouldn’t expect more than that. It’s a very nice family restaurant with good value. Some days are better than other for consistency of dishes, but the servers are cheerful and do want to make you a welcome guest. The biggest concern about this location is the Management’s mind-set. For some very wrong reason, guests are required to wait upon arriving at the restaurant regardless of the availability of seating. I arrived with my party(total of 4) at about 5:15pm and we were told it would be a 10minute wait before we were seated. There were a few others seated in the waiting area, so we didn’t think anything of it. Upon being called and graciously seated, we noticed that there were perhaps a total of 20 other people in the entire restaurant… almost more servers than guests! What the? Why did we have to wait to be seated when then were many empty seats and tables??? I asked the server this and was told«Management wants customers to think we’re busy». What??? Yes, Tom the Manager seems to think customers would rather wait to be seated in a slow restaurant night rather than enjoy their meal quicker and get on with their evening. If you’re looking for a place you can have a quick buffet meal, think of another place… insulting me by making me wait to be seating in an empty restaurant is not usually what a buffet restaurant wants to happen… usually be seated, served and leave is the way so they can turn over and seat more people. Avoid any nights or days when Tom is working, usually these nights are not the best for food consistency.

Make sure you have a reservation, and come 10 minutes prior to your requested time so you get a table a.s.a.p as this place is often crowded around the dinner time rush. With that said, the food is great, and depending on what day you go, there is always added specials to satisfy your taste buds. Drinks are extra cost, but they do have a variety of drinks to choose from. The place is kept clean, even though there are a few chairs and tables that could be replaced as the overuse of them can be seen and felt when sat on or touched. With that said, one of the better locations. Been here 5 or 6 times, and will come again(with reservations) when I am in the area

This restaurant is one of the worst restaurant I’ve ever ate at… The food is not good as I expected. The waiters aren’t that nice either. They spoke way too fast as if they are in a rush. The only good thing about it is that they have a variety of drinks and that’s about it .-. I don’t recommend this restaurant.

Two stars are generally reserved for places that have pretty bad food and have good service. If a place has horrible food and bad service, that’s a one star restaurant in my book. With that said, the food here is just bad. But most buffets have bad food, especially with a name like Mandarin or Hong Kong or Chinese stuck in it somewhere. Avoid those places unless you don’t mind cutting your life short by a few years, gaining a few pounds, and most likely getting diarrhea in the process. If you don’t shit yourself after eating here, you will down the road and remember it’s because you ate here. Parking: Plenty Price: Not worth it Wait: Long just to get seated

There’s nothing special about the food at Mandarin but they’ve got everything. Mandarin is perfect for big family gatherings, especially ones with picky eaters. Vegetarians can also be satisfied there. I like their big line of deserts and ice creams!

Well, when you’ve got teenaged boys around,(they’re always hungry), and it’s too hot to cook you go to a Buffet. I hadn’t been to this location in some years. It was my favorite back then and I was not disappointed this time either. I tried some of everything. The prime rib was juicy and tender, the sushi was fresh and all of the Chinese fare was delicious.(wasn’t crazy about the seaweed salad though… ugh). My only gripe is that even with a reservation we had to wait a while to be seated. But that’s not new. If you want to eat here best make that reservation. I have gone a couple of times just spur of the moment and couldn’t get in.

Every Mandarin is identical, and this one is no different. The food is passable but bland and uninspired. Their fish is horribly cooked — dry and tough — and their holiday specials(e.g., lobster thermidor) are poorly done and not worth the hefty surcharge. There are many better buffets in the GTA so I suggest you go there. Other issues: their seating is painfully slow. Each hostess takes one guest at a time, so even when there are dozens of empty tables you could wait 10 minutes to sit if a few people are in front. Learn from the big buffets and seat multiple parties at once. On the plus side, Mandarin is clean.

I’ve only ever gotten take-out from here, but it was delicious!

Located in the Industrial Heartland of North York, this location provides the variety you crave. My mid-week arrival with the Birthday Girl was delightful… my strategy is to start light and pick out a huge prime rib bone to gnaw on for the night. No surprises here… I have been to ALL their locations. attentive service… clean utensils… my date went well !

I feel that the Mandarin has it’s good nights and it’s bad ones. Sometimes the food is delicious and others like it died. I like their plum sauce and egg rolls, not so crazy on the spring rolls. Alot of times their sweet and sour sauce tastes too much like ketchup and the sauce is very running and not thick. The chicken balls can be good or very doughy… Overall it is one of the better Chinese buffets but if you want great Chinese food I recommend going to a non-buffet restaurant where the food is fresh.
