Mandarin is possibly the best Chinese buffet I have ever been to, and I have been to a lot. The…read morefirst thing you notice is the restaurant is vibrant and very clean. The serving area, the tables, and even the bathrooms are pristine. The food quality and variety is great. They offer all the normal stuff you see at a Chinese buffet plus extras like Maple flavored meatballs and wings. The sushi section is a little smaller than others but gets the job done. The desert section is incredible and you will want seconds. Try the maple ice cream! We went here twice in the short week we were in town, and I were a local this spot would be on my regular rotation for sure.

Was provided a hot lemon infused cloth to clean up prior to going up to the stations to eat. Cup never emptied without an ask for refill. Very attentive the entire time. We were sat in the 'C' dining area area. There were room upon room so there's plenty of seating. Each room with a slightly different theme. Ours had a wall of beautiful fish tanks. The dining area, food stations and bathrooms were all very clean, which is so important at a buffet. They even have gloves at the end of each station in case you didn't want to touch the serving utensils with your bare hands. The variety of food goes from everything you can imagine at a Chinese buffet like sushi and fried rice to American options like burgers and fries, to surprises in-between like New England clam chowder and prime rib. Tons of dessert- hard ice cream, cakes, pies, fruit, jello, even Crème brûlée and waffles. One of my favorite surprises was the variety of mocktails. Most places offer me pop as a mocktail or a Shirley Temple at best. Decent pricing. Father's Day special dinner menu was $50/pp (Canadian) about $36/pp (American) which is pretty great for all you get and that's WITH their high tax. I believe the refular pricing is about $10/pp less. A must try only 30 minutes from Western NY.

Really impressed with this restaurant that, despite its humble strip mall location, goes beyond…read moreexpectations in terms of flavor and menu creativity. There are a lot of Canadian/American-Chinese dishes on the menu but it goes beyond that and has things that I'm guessing are more authentic to China and a few fusion dishes also. I was particular impressed by the soft pepper noodle with beef or chicken. I had it with beef and it has a fantastic black pepper flavor and luscious thick noodles with just enough vegetables to give some texture. I'm including a photograph from mid-meal. It might not be beautiful but it's a stand out dish in flavor. One item to skip... The fried wontons. While ours were very crispy (and hot), the predominant flavor was fryer oil and the tiny (truly tiny) bits of ground pork in the wontons didn't help. Also, check out the combination plates if you want some of this and some of that instead a lot of one thing. They are near the back of the menu and are NEAR the lunch only plates but the combination plates are in fact available at night.

The servers are helpful and did tell us we were ordering too much food for the table. They also provided 2 complimentary spring rolls. The Vegan Hot and Sour soup was fantastic. Good flavour, spicing, fantastic veggies and tofu and seasoned to perfection The Vegan Tofu Manchurian was very good as well. The same well seasoned dish, with good spices and tofu. The gravy was amazing. The Thai style Vegan Fried Rice was good. The only difference I thing with the regular fried rice was there was some pineapple tidbits. Regardless the Fried Rice was good. Well balanced rice dish. The Vegan Momos - were good. The outlet layer a bit thicker than we would have liked. The filling good. The hot sauce dip provided was underwhelming. Needed a little bit (or even more) spicier. Very enjoyable meal and even enjoyable leftovers.

The food is great for if you are craving Chinese food, however half of the dishes we would not order again.

If you pay in cash they give you a discount. Our entire meal cost $75 and was able to feed 6 people.

I came here after I saw several reviews on a Facebook Milton group. I was craving Chinese &…read morealthough I was warned a fair bit online for the lack of customer service (lady at front desk was said to be rude), I decided to try this out for myself. I first ordered the Beef Cantonese Egg Noodle. I called in my order & was surprised at how polite the lady over the phone sounded - although she was rushing the conversation. I picked up my order, no issues. Now onto the food: the noodle dish I ordered was VERY dry, and lacked any flavour. I got maybe less than 8 pieces of beef, which was very disappointing. A big order or flavourless noodles basically. I would not order this again, especially for $9.75. A few weeks later I came again and wanted to try my go to Chinese dish: beef & broccoli. I came during their lunch period and got their Beef & Broccoli, chicken fried rice & an egg roll for $7.95. A different lady was at the front desk & now I see where the negative comments come from. She was very short with me & I felt as if my presence was bothering her.. Anyways - my order came out quick. (sorry I forgot to take a photo for my review). The fried rice was super bland - 2 packs of soya sauce couldn't even save it. The beef and broccoli was actually great - fresh, & the beef was very tender. My only issue was, again, the amount of actual beef. There was way more broccoli & carrots than beef. The egg roll was just ok - nothing to crave over. I don't think I'll order here again unless it's for convenience as it's the closest Chinese restaurant to my house.

Hands down the best Gongbao/ Kungpao chicken the York region!…read more I ordered twice with uber eats and couldn't resist visiting the third time in person. Upon visiting I was a bit disappointed that they don't have dine-in service. Only take-out. But nevertheless, the people at the counter are kind and quick. My order arrived within minutes! Just to keep in mind, visiting the store is a bit cheaper (20%) than Uber eats. So if you're close by, don't forget to get their Gongbao chicken! I'm yet to try other delicacies from this store. Don't mind the store for its looks, it has no dine-in facility, just a few chairs and two tables but the food is yum!

Small town Chinese restaurants aren't the most promising food places, but this place was…read moresurprisingly good. Got "A little bit of everything". It was fantastic value especially for those who like variety, it came with an egg roll, teriyaki beef, wontons, breaded shrimp, chicken chop suey, sweet & sour chicken balls, spare ribs & chicken fried rice. Also added a spring roll. "A little bit of everything" was a lot of food. The rice had a good wok flavour & the chop suey was pretty tasty too. There was quite a bit of chicken in both. The teriyaki beef was so-so. The rest of the items were battered & deep fried (even the spare ribs) & were ok; the sweet & sour sauce was the usual sweet goo. The outside of the egg roll broke & the inside was so-so. For the spring roll I chose pork (there's vegetable too). It was stuffed with 99% minced pork & had a simple soy sauce based flavour. It was pretty good.
