Joined my family - 9 of us - for dinner tonight. An unplanned treat. Something for everyone - from the 14 year olds (5 of them!!) to the 70 year old, and those in between. Fruit, vegetables, rice, noodles and list of meat/seafood options too. Oh, and dessert. Our drinks were continually filled and service was friendly even though it was quite busy. read more

Great food, friendly service, and doesn't break the bank! We travel from Portland to Lewiston just for this buffet.

We haven't been here in years and it was great to come back and try them out again. They have so many options to choose fun. From appetizers, salad, fruits, tons of different Chinese dishes and for dessert, ice cream, puddings and cakes. They have something for everyone. Come check them out! read more

Great food and friendly service for a reasonable price. The dumplings are delicious and so are the powdered donuts and coconut chicken.

We go here a minimum of two times a month, the place is kept clean, buffet is always maintained, staff is very attentive, very reasonable, food is plentiful and good - one of the nicest places in Lewiston. read more

Food all had the same taste, baked seafood was undercooked. Willing to give it another try.

Great food at a reasonable price . Not from around here so I looked at reviews and they were good.

Amazing service! Always so friendly! Food is incredible!! Love the crab Rangoon and the fried donuts!

Our whole family was excited when we saw that Mandarin was opening for curbside pickup. Being able to eat your go-to Chinese food during a crisis is similar to the feeling of eating good ole' home style meals. They're taking social distancing very seriously and are taking very precautions to protect their customers. The food is hot and fresh to order which brings their buffet food to a whole new level. read more

Lewiston Mandarin Buffet - General Tso Chicken and fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

This review is based on quality of Chinese food I have had here in lewiston auburn area which is generally pretty poor I went here other day and food was somewhat fresh and had multiple items Compared to lotus during the week it was much better Most of their food served is pretty similar to other items. Staff was relatively friendly Again this would be a 3/5 back home without question but after having Chinese at 5-6 different places in this area, one of the better restaurants read more

This is one of my family's favorite places to stop for dinner. During COVID-19 they were only accepting take-out orders, but I look forward to when they can reopen the dining room. The restaurant is not that big, but during certain hours on the weekend is typically packed. If you enjoy Chinese for a Sunday lunch, you may want to go before the church across the street lets out as they all migrate over to the Mandarin Buffet at the conclusion of mass. The food is always hot and they change out very frequently. I have not tried something I did not like. You can tell they focus on quality over quantity, but they keep up very well with buffet when the food is taken during a busy meal time. The staff is very friendly and they remember you if you frequent their establishment. My mom's office orders from there all the time and they may not remember her name, but they remember her face and always say hi and welcome back. I would highly recommend this place for those that want to experience good professional service and quality food. read more

The Buffett is closed during COVID 19 , good time to order from the menu and try other dishes. This is my to go Chinese take out in the Lewiston/ Auburn areas. It is close to my work and this is where I go to take out for lunch. Their food is fresh, yummy and cooked just right! I'm a chicken wing freak and it is very good here. Buy some by the pound ( during buffet) or an order and shake it / dip with Frank's buffalo hot sauce . Bam! Snack or meal yum! read more

Reasonable price buffet. Food is fresh and the staff is friendly. Great selection. The best time to go is just before they switch to dinner prices. read more

Good food, lot of variety, quick service. Came as a part of tour and had the buffet for $18. Liked the pork fried rice, beef pan fried dumpling, coconut shrimp, garlic shrimp(spicy), butter shrimp. Wish there were more greens. It was just broccoli and beans. Didn't have desserts, just had fresh food. On the whole it was a good experience. read more

The Mandarin Buffet offers a large variety of options. Everything we tried was delicious! A very clean atmosphere and fast service. An excellent value for the quality and selections! read more

Food was what we hoped for! Coming form California- Chinese buffet we are used to. They also had sushi. Relaxed environment. Attentive service. Super clean restrooms! Try the donuts and mayonnaise cake!!!! read more

Food quality was really good and selection was decent, bathrooms were gross and the staff was pushy to get us out.

Ok .. um.. ok. Did not like the sushi. At all. The green beans were good, shrimp with jalapeños was good and they can cook shrimp. Their soup.. very good. A quick stop for dimmer but not a destination. I would come here on a cold day for the soup. Very clean .. read more

Pretty good but they didn't bother to keep food too stocked at dinner...why pay so much if you're not going to keep popular dishes filled?

when I came the food was less and the service was fair, but when my friend come to pay the women (cashier) told him to add tip and she was shouting to him come back and add tip. The people who work their were very rude. She is not suppose to ask him to add tip like that. Service should be 0 out of 10! read more

We thought the buffet had many tasty choices. Sushi was good but could have been colder. Servers were very friendly and attentive in an atmosphere that was pleasant. read more

If I could give this place a 3.7 that's how I would rate it. The food is decent, it is affordable to go out to eat, and it can be a quick meal if you need it to be, since you don't need to wait for a server to take your order and them to prepare food. The staff there are friendly and attentive (for drink orders and other needs.) Our friends recommended this place to us because they love it and frequent it often. I would say it is your average Chinese food, nothing fancy, just what you would normally expect to be offered at a Chinese buffet. It is perfect if you're craving Chinese and don't want to break the bank! read more

A good place to go if you are looking for the stereotypical Chinese buffet. Decent food with a few things that tasted odd like the sweet and sour sauce. The food filled me up and I enjoyed it but would not rush back here. There are other better Chinese restaurants I would go to before here. The foods here are definitely hit or miss on quality that shows a lack of consistency. Make sure to go during busy times so the food is warm and relatively fresh. read more

6:45 on Sunday night. The sushi selection was limited but a half dozen varieties were still offered. They have added squid as a protein choice on the Mongolian grill. Can never go wrong there. Pick what you want and have it cooked to order. chicken, beef, shrimp, scallops, sea legs and squid with your choice of scallions, onions, green peppers, water chestnuts, pea pods, sprouts, mushrooms,broccoli, pineapple chunks along with rice and lo main noodles with choice of sauce and heat. The Crab Rangoon is the best in the area. Other buffet items are on par with what is generally offered at such buffets. Items are kept hot enough but certainly not steaming. Overall the staff is friendly and attentive. The place is clean. The food, while nothing special, is offered with a wide variety and is a good value for the money. One of the better Chinese buffets in the area. read more

Lewiston Mandarin Buffet - Hibachi grill to order selections - Chinese Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

Suspiciously lukewarm. Nothing was hot. No hand sanitizer for buffet. Didn't find anything to be delicious. Like eating leftover Chinese food that had been left out overnight. They do have a small grill for noodles. read more

Lewiston Mandarin Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Lewiston, Maine

I just moved to Maine, and had to find a chinese place, stat. Found some promising reviews on yelp, and I was NOT disappointed! Clean as a whistle, an amazing and VAST array of hot fresh food on their expansive buffet. The SUSHI omg. Basic but on point. Salmon, shrimp, and Tuna nigri, and some basic maki rolls, but they were fresh and delicious! Will definitely be going again! Everything was delicious! read more

the best, a must go to!!! grate service and nice people. the food is sooooo good! Bring you whole family and all your freinds and youll not be disappointed. Eat there or take it home. I have tried all there food there and i have no bad things to say. I dont like sushi but they have the best ive ever had. The amount of food you can get for the cost is unbelievable, low cost and so much food. I took my wife there and and she's a picky eater and she loves it. So we go here a lot. This place is clean. Unlike other places we have tryed to eat at and we would walk in and walk right back out. Everyone who has good taste will love this place. I plan on going again in a few days. Thanks for reading and hope you get some good eating. Make sure you wear you big pants when you go because you will be stuffed to the gills! read more

I've been here a couple of times since my family always liked it and my boyfriend always loved it. It's not personally my favorite Chinese place but when your low on money and you don't wanna break the bank, it's a quick meal to enjoy. On the brightside, it gets me full every time. Your typical Chinese buffet restaurant, the servers always come quickly with your beverages, foods always warm and good. I always come back every couple months when I do crave Chinese. read more

Outstanding. The improvements had helped solidify this place with Lotus. Sushi is on point. "They have a great buffet barb~caveman"

Great place to eat. Out of town for work ate here almost every day. The food was good no complaints . The staff was amazing.

The place is pleasant, clean and comfortable with lots of seating for you to choose from and can accommodate large groups of people. The buffet is large enough ( 4 bars ) to offer several spicy dishes and your favorite appetizers and there is one buffet bar devoted to salads, fruit and deserts. Oh and they have hard ice cream too . The workers are friendly and attentive to your needs. I am a frequent diner especially during there buffet specials only $5.25 Thur and Sun til 4pm Overall you can't go wrong! read more

The food is really, really good. The service is unfailingly nice. Take out is easy and reasonably priced.

The best Chinese buffet around and the price cannot beat. Staff is always super friendly and food is hot and fresh! As we know this is a buffet, not the best Chinese restaurant in the world. But in buffet terms it is definitely worth the trip! read more

Used to LOVE this place. Drove 4 hours and was super excited to eat here last night. The waitress was super rude to me and after I left a 3 dollar tip and left i got a notice to my phone that they charged me a FIVE dollar tip. Not a lot if money but STEALING and CREDIT CARD FRAUD none the less. Disputing with my card company and calling repeatedly to complain until my money is given back. Never eating here again as they are THEIVES. read more

Everything in my previous review still stands. But the fact I drive by this place every day and have not had the desire to go there again. And I won't. I was just too generous giving this place 3 stars. read more

Best Chinese by far in the Lewiston Area. There coconut chicken is absolutely the best I have had. Friendly wait service.

Service was great, place was clean, dishes were dirty, food was bland. If you want cheap buffet this is the best in the twin cities, but the bar isn't set that high. read more

An excellent variety. Fast service. Egg rolls are pretty tasty. The coconut chicken is sweet and rich (perhaps too much so for some) and the lo mein is moist. Nothing spectacular, but you definitely get a lot for your dollar. As far as buffets go, it's up there. Not the best Chinese I've had, but definitely one of the better places in the L-A area. read more

Tried this place for lunch since it has recently reopened and appears to be quite busy every time I drive by. The staff were friendly but were overbearing. The food was mediocre. Compared to others in the area, this would not make my top five for food flavor or quality. Very inexpensive if you are looking for something quick and so so. read more
