As Asian and more buffets go; this rocks. We come here every time we visit our family in London. This time we went for New Years' Day lunch.They do take reservations. Service is always excellent for the 10 of us. The food choices are fresh...and far too numerous to list and range from Asian to some Italian and chef carved meats. Sushi and sashimi are fresh and the rice is not dried out. One of my favorite salads is the lemony shrimp and celery. The peel and eat shrimp are super fresh and come with a really nice spicy cocktail sauce. Very large choices of Chinese favorites to pick from. The dessert buffet is also huge. We didn't like the caramel flan this time due to a strong egg taste. However, the sticky toffee pudding cake bars were the best we've ever eaten. Another fun thing they do is make on the spot fresh cotton candy cones for the kids. Be sure to take your time to see what's at each buffet station so that you don't miss out. Can't wait to go back soon.More

We went for a celebratory dinner at Mandarin. It was booked solid but there was an opening 15 minutes before what we originally asked so we took that. We were welcomed by a gracious hostess and seated right away. Our waiter came and took our...drink orders and then said for us to take our time. There was such a huge selection we didn’t know where to start. It was a super large buffet so we started with fresh soup and continued on from there. Everything was fresh and hot, really good. David, the owner went to every table to ensure the customers enjoyed their food.More

my husband and I were in london to take our son to the childrens hospital so we were a little anxious and a lot hungry. the staff immideiatly made us feel so welcomed and asked us where we were from had we ever been to...mandarin thanked us for coming. told us the specials. explained what each of the different buffet bars had to offer. took our drink order. thanked us again for coming and told us to enjoy our meal.. which was easy considering how much variety there was! prime rib, sushi, chinese, salad, pizza, and then every dessert you could ever imagine!! it was amazing!! and the staff ensured our water was never empty and our table clean of used plates. they were amazing. yes it was a bit pricey but I was happy to pay for it based on what variety we had and how full I was when we left. and we left a large tip because I can honestly say I've never had better friendlier service!!More

I like Asian cuisine and here in London, Mandarin is the best one. Although their menu has been changed due to COVID-19 situation, they tried to maintain the quality and services by changing mode to small eat format and small portions. It`s environment was warm...and pleasant and the staff were tidy and well-trained like every other branch I visited in Ottawa and Toronto before. Since it was a couple of week before Christmas in December, they offer some present and calendar free of charge. I know there is a hard time for restaurant business in this condition, but they did very good at out last visit. Thank you Mandarin.More

I order from Mandarin at least a few times per month. I ordered again today and it was so great! A number of times they gave me a free slice of pie with my order, today though they gave me four free butter tarts and...they were so good! I am single so when I order its enough food for my dinner and enough leftovers for the next day. Today I had some extra money so I thought I would add Moo Goo Gai Pan to my order because I love it so much but never tried it from Mandarin. It was so great and there was so much of it that along with the other food I ordered (I always order the same combination a) I have enough food for lunch and dinner tomorrow. Their chicken fried rice is the best chicken fried rice I've ever had (that's not my favorite though, the sweet and sour pork is amazing!). I had it delivered and was so impressed again that I called them back to tell them how great it was, thank them for the free butter tarts and tell them that I am going to write a review online if I can find a place to do it. She asked my name and phone number and was so happy and thankful for my call that she added a $5 credit for my next order! I thought Mandarin was already great, today they became even greater! I tried to upload a picture of the Moo Goo Gai Pan but it won't let me so I can only add a picture of the combination a which is so much better than it looks! Jason McCombMore

I was there as part of a large group for a Christmas lunch. Unfortunately I am celiac and there are no labels with ingredients or warning of allergens. I basically could eat salads and not much else to avoid the risk of getting sick. I...would usually avoid this restaurant because of their lack of clear labelling on the foods. It shouldn’t be that difficult to indicate if a dish contains allergens.More

Ordered $70 worth on Saturday night with the significant other. Egg rolls were meh, Lemon chicken had the sauce ON it, which made it soggy (even though it said on the side in description) the sweet and sour pork was chewy, lo mein was tasteless...and the rice was gross ...who puts corn in rice??

The mandarin is no longer a budget-friendly visit. 2 adults +2 kids (fountain drink each) = $150. Sure, you can eat as much as you want, but a 45 year old doesn't pound back the plates, nor does a 5 or 10 year old who...pay 1/2 adult fees. The quality of the food is alright, but nothing particularly specacular, and the birthday rules now force you to have 4 adults to qualify for a free meal. This is a resturant chain I just don't see my family visiting anymore..More

Food good for people who enjoy quantity over quality. Won ton soup was very disappointing…watery broth, mushy oatmeal texture inside noodles.Hot and sour soup was very bitter. Small steak pieces were inedible…tough, tough, tough.Spring rolls had texture of a heated up leftover. Maple spareribs tasted...like pieces of fat and gristle covered with sweet sauce. Our young grandsons loved it all, not the adults.More

We were very pleased with the service and the food, a wonderful & clean buffet. You can always find food- even for the pickiest eater. The variety is amazing. We do find the price a bit high but understand the overhead they must cover. People...only think about the cost and amount of the food they consume yet fail to realize all the other costs involved providing this type of establishment. I suggest using the Mandarin for special occasions, if this is a concern. Otherwise... enjoy your meal.More

We were a family group of 17 cousins meeting from Guelph, Windsor and London. Our server, Amanda, was very attentive and friendly. The buffet was amazing with a wide array of fresh choices, all labeled including calories. Two birthdays were acknowledged with photos made into...fridge magnets!
