    We stopped here for lunch today. I have never shown up to a buffet when it first opens and I don't think I will ever again. We were seated in the very back of one of the sections and noticed it was freezing. My Kid said he was fine so we stayed at the table they sat us at. But from the time we sat down until we left, 4 other tables complained about how cold it was and asked to be moved. Once they had our drink order we went up to the buffet. Now if you advertise you open at a certain time and you seat people you would think the food would be ready! Over half the stations were empty and the foods that were ready were cold?!? I'm really loosing my love for Chinese buffets.. kids usually love this stuff but even my kids was like sorry Dad I feel bad because for you paying and me not eating much.

    Surprisingly good buffet--the interior is very large too so can support big parties. I have to say, the sky painted ceiling with the butterflies is a little bit cheesy but I also loved it. :p They have a variety of food to choose from so you will definitely find something for you here. If you are a dessert person, you will not be disappointed because they have two rows of dessert from apple tarts to cheesecakes to mango pudding and a lot of ice cream. We went during the holiday season so they also had red velvet frozen yogurt but it wasn't that great. Also, don't forget about their cotton candy machine!!! Overall, the food was good so definitely go on an empty stomach!

    Disgusting!

    Ordered over $100 worth of takeout and found a worm/maggot in the food. Absolutely disgusted. Will never eat from here again. Will be filing a complaint with public health. Mandarin is clearly cutting corners when it comes to food safety. Unacceptable!

    Honestly my first and last time going to any Mandarin. We've ordered food from them before for work events and the food was so bad. I was hoping for something a tiny bit better at the restaurant but honestly only like a tad bit more fresh. We reserved a room for 50 guests for a work event and they only prepared enough for 20-30. Throughout the dinner we kept having to ask them for more tables and chairs. The presentation of the dishes itself was unappetizing. I picked out a few things to try. The noodles were cold, oily, soft, and tasteless. The chicken was like chicken jerky - dry and tough. The dessert selection was quite impressive compared to everything else though. From crême brulées to dipped strawberries to cottan candy. I basically had dessert for dinner.

    Consistent like the other Mandarins, good if expensive chain. Here the staff seemed to go the extra mile to explain the current specials (Canada Day based foods). Lots of delicious ice cream choices and sushi as well as the regular fare.

    A variety of drinks

    The food and service are good, not very impressive tho but you can have crab legs for dinner.

    I like the variety they have but their price is little high compared to other buffets.

    We had come here on a Saturday at around 7:00 pm for the Italian Buffet Special, which was being…read moreadvertised as $12.95 a person. When we had first arrived, we were told that it would be a two-hour wait, and that we would need to have a pager with us at all times that would be used to notify us once a table was ready. We weren't able to get a pager immediately as they were all being used therefore, we had to wait at least fifteen minutes before we were able to get one. Once we had that pager in hand, we waited about one hour for our table, which was actually not as long as we had expected. Upon entering the restaurant via an escalator from the first floor, we were pleased to see how picturesque it was. With the large windows showcasing the horse racing at the time, along with the tables that boasted their own private television screens, we were impressed with how wonderful and inviting everything looked. Upon being seated, we were given programs on the betting available for the evening's races, which was detailed with everything we needed to know. We also noticed that there was a middle-aged woman coming around, asking us if we were interested in placing bets during our dining experience. The diners went wild during the races, which created an exciting, yet sometimes, loud atmosphere. In terms of the dining, I was pleasantly surprised with how many options were available. Since it was only $12.95 (with a Winners Circle Card), I was blown away at how much food was placed within the buffet area, with an area dedicated to bread with a variety of spreads, another area with salads and other cold appetizers (such as artichokes, cold cuts, cheese, etc.), a hot table (with such items as lasagna, pizza, chicken, fish, and more), along with a dessert section, which boasted a wide variety of desserts, and a few dishes of fruit. All of the items were well-prepared, and everything tasted fantastic, with each item at the hot table coming onto my plate hot (temperature-wise), which is rare to find in a buffet. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at this buffet, and would highly-recommend it to anyone who wants delicious food, at a low price. The only thing that I didn't like was the waiting period, and how slow it was, considering that many guests usually sit there the entire evening, watching the races and eating for hours on end. Although this is definitely the idea of the trackside buffet, it could have been the reason why we were so delayed in getting to our table. Nevertheless, it was worth the wait, and will definitely be going again!

    Visiting the area so time is limited called in advance to see if they were busy and could take us…read moreas we were walking and would be there in 5 minutes. They said yes so we started on our way. Once there we wait 10 minutes before someone comes and tells us that our table is being cleaned. 5 minutes later another person comes and tells us our table is ready but we have to be finished in 20 minutes! Beyond frustrating, why not say that when I called. Needless to say we won't be recommending them. Very poor customer service.

    I tried Korean food for the first time, and I chose k grill. I gave four stars instead of five…read more I'll explain why! I ordered the mixed veggie bibimbap on SkipTheDishes for pickup since it's literally two blocks from my place of work, may as well pickup! Anyways, the sauce was absolutely delicious! Could have used less bean sprouts, next time I'll ask for none. I hate them but wanted an authentic experience. I also didn't think it would have been mixed already when I got it. I thought I could have just brushed them off. But it was mixed! I ordered an extra egg by mistake because clearly I'm not smart haha! First time having kimchi, oh my goodness I'm in love! It was a bit spicy but not in a bad way. Awesome flavour! Next time I'll order a side of kimchi, there was three pieces of kimchi (this is why my review is four stars!!) more kimchi! The miso soup was yucky, I really didn't enjoy it. There was one teeny piece of tofu in it and two pieces of seaweed. But I also discovered I just don't like miso, not sure if it was authentic or not as I've never had it before. Did not enjoy though. Overall the food was great and I told my mom she is totally coming with me next time. Yummy yummy!!!
