" I decided to check out Mandarin for my birthday dinner, and it was a fantastic choice! The ambiance was delightful, the staff was very attentive, and the food was the highlight of the night. I especially loved the Peking duck and the sushi selection - everything was fresh and delicious. I appreciated how they had options for everyone in the family, including a great kid-friendly menu. Definitely made my birthday memorable, and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot rave enough about the exceptional service at Mandarin! From the moment we walked in, the greeting staff were warm and welcoming. Special shoutout to our server Ellie; she was attentive without being overbearing, and we appreciated her recommendations! The food was fantastic - fresh and well-prepared. It is hard to pinpoint a favorite dish because everything was so tasty. If you’re searching for a great restaurant for a family dinner, this is the one! " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a family gathering at Mandarin last weekend, and while there's much to enjoy, there were a few downsides. The food was a fair mix: some items were fresh, while others tasted a bit off or seemed reheated. The service itself was commendable; the servers frequently checked in with us. The hectic environment made it hard to converse, but overall, a decent experience nonetheless. I think I'll give them another try on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Mandarin for the first time last week. I had heard good things, so my expectations were high. The interior is decently decorated, contributing to a warm atmosphere. I must mention, the food was fresh and hot. However, I found the portion sizes to be smaller than I anticipated for the price point. They do have a plentiful selection of desserts, which I really enjoyed. In general, it was a pleasant experience, but I think there are places that offer better value. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Mandarin restaurant offers a wonderful buffet filled with diverse options catering to every palate. I went there with my family for a celebration, and we were pleased with the warm welcome and friendly service. The staff kept our tables cleared and drinks refilled promptly. However, I felt some of the menu items lacked the authentic flavor I usually expect from a Chinese restaurant. While the variety makes it appealing, I wouldn't mind seeing more focus on traditional dishes as well. Overall, a good experience, but there’s room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Mandarin this past weekend! The buffet is sprawling with a delicious range of options, from authentic Chinese dishes like Kung Pao chicken to western favorites like pizza and fries. The servers were impressive; they frequently checked in on us and made sure our plates were cleared and drinks were full. My favorite item was the fresh sashimi they served, which was perfect! I could not have asked for a better meal with my family. I'll definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mandarin last weekend with a group of friends. I have to say, it was a mixed experience. While the variety of food was impressive, the cleanliness of the buffet stations left much to be desired. Some plates were dirty, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the service was friendly and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of. I would love to see improvements in food quality and cleanliness for my next visit.
