Mandarin Restaurant

Not good, not cheap.

"Traditional" buffet atmosphere, so can't complain there. However for the money you pay you get a very low grade, "bulk" quality food - no authentic taste, fairly limited choice. You are better off going to a more traditional North-American/Chinese restaurants.

I pick certain days to go to this place (usually on weekdays rather than weekends) cause' the last 2 times we went here, the place was so packed that we had to wait for awhile in order to get a seat. Cause' when it's a full-house, service can be quite disappointing. Food is albeit better than other all-you-can places I know of here in Mississauga. But do let me know if you know any other places better buffet places, I would appreciate. =)

What's so great about it?

I've been here a bit because of friends' celebrations but all were rather disappoiting. Oriental? Sure it has the wontons and the sushi. Overall it is just another one of those buffets that offer so-so 'Chinese' food. Mandarin is just another one of those Chinese restaurants where you after you eat you feel so full you're sick, then an hour later you're starving. I've been to waaaay better. Most dishes were not prepared all that well. The sushi was disappointing and so were the salads and meat dishes. The experience was an overall disappointment after being to better buffets such as IMPERIAL BUFFET! And I was just not all that satisfied or impressed with the meal. All I have to say is that after all the buzz about Mandarin and then the actual restaurant experience is that it is overrated. I'm left to ask: 'What's so great about it?'
