Food is good but overpriced for what you get in the buffet. Mandarin gives seniors a 20% discount. So for $15 you get Chinese, Canadian, salad, desert buffet. Includes shrimp.
Was there tonight for the buffet, food was good as always, however the parking was at a premium, parked in a spot that was signed for deliver person, figuring the other two remaining spots would be enough for them. Upon leaving this haggardly women who was apparently a delivery driver started throwing some colorful language at me about parking in the delivery spot. Certainly not her place to do so, I am sure the restaurant was more than happy to take our $40. No one would work for me like that.
I have gone to this restaurant every few weeks for several years. The decor is sorely lacking. They probably haven't redecorated since the 1970s. The service is polite but minimal. They will take away your dirty plates and refill your water promptly, but not much more.
I am drawn back by the food. The selection never changes. Same items every time. Some of the items are great. Their fried rice, curry chicken, garlic chicken, won ton soup and chicken wings are very good. The rest is pretty bland, but not horrible.
I cannot speak about their take-out or delivery food. I have to guess that it is pretty good because they are always very busy with pick-ups.
