    The Mandarin is my all time favourite restaurant. From the atmosphere to the food, it is a great experience for all. The best part of the Mandarin is the wide variety of food choices. The options suit everyone's palates. You will, without a doubt, be able to stack your plate with foods you love. Apart from the food, the service here is amazing. Overall, the Mandarin is a perfect choice if you are looking for an enjoyable, affordable, and family friendly buffet.

    First time here, just driving through this small town and found this amazing restaurant. We both felt like it was the best Chinese food we have ever eaten! We went here for lunch and the Buffet was closed so we ordered off the small eats menu. We ordered 8 different things everything was wonderful. The service was excellent! If you're ever this way you should definitely come here, it will not disappoint!

    Buffets can be a very hit or miss thing, and no matter what location you go to the Mandarin Restaurant is pretty much always a hit. I made my first trip to this location on Sunday and was not at all let down. We came around noon where you get to pay $23.99 (instead of the $29.99 for dinner) and we were happy to do it. Mandarin is currently celebrating there anniversary and the place is decorated for Canada Day as well! The staff was super friendly during our visit and our waitress didn't hate me for knocking over my water within 1 minute of sitting down (I really have no idea how it happened, but I felt terrible). The food selection was as good as it's gonna get for a buffet. I was a big fan of the general Tao's chicken, the chicken wings (I only had one, but it was actually really good), the BLT sushi roll (unique but delicious), poutine, sweet and sour chicken (big and fluffy), Black pepper chicken, pork, and pretty much everything else I tried. I did try a scoop of the chocolate ice cream for dessert and it was also pretty good (especially for buffet ice cream). Overall, the Mandarin Restaurant is the top of the Canadian Buffet food chain. This place has so much variety and so many options that it can be overwhelming. A friendly staff, great decorations, and endless tasty food make this place a definite winner!

    Went here for my birthday but sadly did not get a free lunch because I was not with 4 people:( We arrived half hour before closing time so kinda had to stuff our mouths lol. The food was great but quite expensive. The dinner was $38 in the evening per person so we just resorted to having the lunch buffet! The sushi was not satisfactory cause I've had better at other locations. Everything else was quite good. For desert I relished a couple of cream brulees and they were very yummy. Giving it a 4 star or two reasons.1) the price 2) the condition of the washrooms.

    Each trip to the salad bar creates its own unique look

    This is a relatively new Chinese restaurant. They have good quality and tasty food at affordable…read moreprices. The customer is good. We ordered the following: A9: Dumplings (Pot Stickers) ($6.00). B4: Black Pepper & Garlic Beef ($15.50). V5: Nest of Fortune ($13.00). RN6: Pineapple Fried Rice ($12.50). All the food was quite good. The number of different ingredients,  especially in the Dumplings, Nest of Fortune, and Pineapple Fried Rice, were excellent and unexpected. My one small complaint was that the Beef was a little too salty, but everything else tasted good. They have lunch specials, too. They opened 2023-11-13. They bought it over from a previous Chinese owner who was retiring. The menu is quite different, but they kept the old claypot dish. There is enough indoor table seating and counter seating, but most people order for takeout. A husband and wife team ran Jasmine Garden in Niagara Falls for 26 years. They moved to this St. Catharines location on 2023-11-13. The husband is the chef. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There is one gender-neutral washroom. There is free parking in the mall's parking lot. There are two high chairs for little children. Review 2024-034

    My highest praises to this place, I've been here twice during my time in Ontario. Just about…read moreeverything is superb, my favorites from the food menu was the lobster & sliced beef & ox tongue in chili sauce. I got an old fashioned and it was extremely smooth with a good taste. All the flavors are balanced & delicate yet lingers, stimulating my appetite to desire more. Service is extremely on point, everyone is warm & attentive, extremely attentive I'd say. One waiter telegraphed where I was going to walk, stepped back & apologized before I even noticed. I was pleasantly surprised at the attentiveness. Ambiance is upscale yet cozy, with jazz in the background. Perfect for family dinners & also date nights. The restrooms are extremely nice, resembling that of hotels. Honestly this has been the best chinese spot I've dined at, the only complaint I would have is that there is not an LA location.

Service was great, and so was the food. They offer quite authentic Chinese dishes alongside some more Westernized Chinese options. Either way, portions are generous, so maybe skip a side or share one. Prices are more than reasonable. We could even bring our own bottle of wine for a corkage fee of CAD 25 -- a nice touch. The one downside -- the menu offers a staggering 200-ish dishes, so be ready to make a decision. But this is definitely a place worth visiting in St. Catharines.

There are about 8 kinds of soup with various spice levels, so everyone in our group of 6 (3 adults, 3 kids) found their sweet spot.

They have a hot pot side and a barbecue side and we chose all you can eat hot pot. They have lots of cuts of meat to choose from, plus fresh vegetable and noodle stations that are self-serve. We went with a dual pot of beef broth with spicy Mongolian seasoning and veg broth with Spicy Tom Yum. Both were great, but I especially liked the spicy Mongolian. We ordered quite a bit of meat (some beef tendon, sliced beef, sliced pork, salmon, and pork and shrimp dumplings) and it was all fresh and delicious. Veg included bok choy, cabbage, enoki mushrooms, and lots more, plus plenty of noodle varieties. They have a great selection here and there's surely something for everyone. We had a great dinner here. Everything was tasty and the service was friendly. We'd definitely visit again the next time we are in the area!
