    Mandarin London - storefront
    Leonard E.

    My family and friends love this clean Mandarin London location and come here often. I've joined them on a few occasions at this AYCE venue. The food is great, the service staff is excellent and there is something at the buffet to satisfy everyone; vegetarians, meat lovers, sushi lovers, seafood, regulars, etc. Desserts are also plentiful to fulfill that urge! Parking is free and reservations are recommended. Meal prices vary depending when you want to dine! Discount available for Seniors 65+ years of age. We are a group of eight here to celebrate summer!

    Always a pleasure to go to the Mandarin. The service is always spectacular. The only negative thing I can say is without a reservation expect to wait. The desert bar has a ton of options!

    The little details make a big difference. I have been to so many Mandarins over the years, but passing through London I found my favourite!

    On our way from Mississauga to Sarnia we stopped in London for lunch. Now I've been to many Mandarin restaurants over the years and this one is now one of my favourites. I don't know why the food seems so much better to me, but they seem to take so much care in everything they do. The young lady who seated us (Alexis) was an absolute darling and our server Allan was a class act. The grill bar was better than I've ever had and the presentation so tasteful. I would drive the 90 minutes again just to have lunch with them again. A beautiful restaurant!

    I don't know how a Chinese buffet can be any better. The vegetable dishes were all crispy not mushy and gross like most Chinese buffets. Incredible selection and very nicely displayed. Definite pride in this establishment.

    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!!!

    On the way back to the US. We took a stop at the London for overnight and looks for a warm dinner…read moreas it is starting to get cold in the area at the end of September. After reading other reviews online we decided to try this. The concept is simple, they seat you on a table then you scan the QR code to order, then the food will come and you pay the bill online simple. The restaurant is super clean and nice. It has a modern coffee shop vibe. You don't expect to eat authentic Chinese food here. But the food is great. I got beef and chicken skin on a stick, they both are flavorful and got great spicy on it. Then the noodles soup was great with Sour and Spicy base, wish it has more meat. Then the fried bun was crispy on the outside and soft inside. The intestines were little on the blend side. But overall the food was great. London is a great stopping point between Detroit and Toronto, so if you happen to stop by try this place out.

    Don't come here to eat, there are no dishes displayed on Google Maps. The waiter in this restaurant…read morehas a bad attitude. There is no menu to show how much it is, but only a verbal quotation. Because it is a hot pot buffet, we chose the Yuanyang pot. When I checked out, I found that the spicy butter soup base costs 10 dollar and the tomato soup base costs 5 dollar, which he didn't say it will cost before. He put the two of us at a table without lights, and the experience was very bad. There are few dishes to choose from. In the end, the price was very expensive, 40 dollar per person. After we reacted with him, the average person was only 2 dollar less. And the waiter told us they doesnt get tip! The tips all belong to the house! unbelievable! its totally illegall their boss did that! I think that why the waiter seems upset and no any good attitude! dont give any tips for them!

    I've ordered from here multiple times. I always say no meat no fish please on my order. Once I had…read moreshrimp, when I called they fixed it immediately. I ordered again today and I said no meat no fish on my order and when I got it, there was shrimp on it. I called to let them know and got yelled at from whoever answered the phone. She then handed the phone off to I assume the manager that continued yelling at me that I said no meat no fish so that's why he put shrimp on it. I informed him shrimp is meat and I said not to. He continued to yell over me, told me I couldn't speak English (it's my first and only language lol) and I need to google. In informed him I speak English perfectly fine and that my instructions were pretty clear; that his lack of English is what made this confusion a mess. Never ordering from here again. If they mess up your order be prepared to get yelled at and told you're wrong

    This place offers a basic Chinese food buffet experience. I think the majority of their market are…read morethe students from the nearby London International Academy. I don't think the quality of food meets what most people have come to expect of a Chinese buffet from larger, more popular restaurants. However, the price for the lunch buffet, to which I attended today, is very reasonable considering the volume and quality of food available. I think that this place has chosen the 'quick-and-easy' route for many dishes. For example, the lemon chicken, General Zao's chicken, and black pepper chicken are heavily breaded and deep fried pieces of chicken that are coated in a sugary lemon flavoured sauce, red sauce (surprisingly it's not spicy), or black pepper, respectively. Additionally, many of the buffet items are deep fried or cooked with what I'd call a heavy-handed use of cooking oil. Finally, they appear to have limited waiter service. No one asked me if I needed anything and I had to fill up my own cup of water from the water jug at the counter. I saw some international students clearing their plates into two large garbage bins to the side of the restaurant and putting their plates into a grey plastic bin. For a minute I thought I was in a school cafeteria; clearing your own plates into a garbage bin and filling your own water speaks to that experience. I gave this restaurant 3 stars because of the service and quality of food. I think there are areas that this place can improve upon, and they have a prime location and regular foreign student clientele that would support positive changes.
