    Mapo tofu
    Sireesha A.

    This place loves Sriracha. I think this is their only way of adding spice to food because when I asked for extra spice for my mapo tofu, they probably downed half a bottle of sriracha in it. I could taste nothing but that. The tofu was overcooked so it was falling apart so that didn't help either. The hot and sour soup was mostly just sour and was not appealing. The ambiance is good so that's a saving grace. But I don't think I'll ever venture out here when there are so many other delectable vegetarian options around Niagara Falls.

    Food are great! Quick service. Friendly waiters (probably the owners). We went to order the next day for more.

    Awaits... lots of parking

    Attentive and quick staff Good location (for drivers), lots of parking Great wonton, lot of places have bad wonton: so this was nice. Kung Pao had lots of veg and grilled chicken; sauce needed more flavour Good find, thx Jurel!

    Magnolia good luck charm ... let's hope C19 is over soon!

    Stopped in for 8.95 lunch special.... Outstanding! I ordered Sweet and Sour Pork with steamed rice. It also came with either soup or spring roll. I took a walk on the wild side and instead of my usual wonton soup ordered Hot and Sour soup...wow! It was like take your breath away hot but addictive especially with the homemade crispy noodle they include. Large portions and could easily be a light lunch for 2. It's one of those places that is a goto for Asian food....

    Being a fan of Chinese food, I can say I def. had better. Came here during our stay at Niagara Falls, and the place itself looked really nice. It's not like your regular Chinese restaurant, it looked clean + more modern. The food was okay, my favourite was the fried rice to be honest. It had a lot of meat in it, and flavour to it. I felt like the soup + chicken we got could have had more flavour. The service was alright, it could have been better. The restaurant wasn't packed, yet the waitress only came while taking our order and one other time after that.

    Really craving some good Chinese food we decided to check this place out. Came in around 9pm the place was pretty empty except for a large group dining in the back. Most people were ordering take out or calling for delivery. We were promptly greeted upon entering and were allowed to pick a table to sit at. The tables are all very formal looking, large glossy mahogany tables topped with glass with formal matching dining chairs. It seems to be a family run business. Our bubbly waitress kindly handed us a menu and introduced herself to us. To drink we both ordered the Chinese Tea which came out in a cute white china pot piping hot. Since everything is served family style we decided to order a few items to try Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls - Juicy plump ball of chicken coated in a crispy golden batter served in a warm sweet & sour sauce Magnolia Fried Rice - Wok-fired rice blended with egg, soy and sliced onions. Choice of Chicken, beef, pork or vegetable We went with the pork which came with large chunks of juicy bbq pork. The rice was really good with a smokey flavor and large portion. Orange Chicken - Tossed with a mild chili sauce and fresh orange peel for a spicy, citrus combination I love orange chicken and Magnolia got it spot on! Ample chunks of tender chicken in a crispy coating in a delicious orange glaze sprinkled with chili flakes and garnished with fresh orange slices. Sooo yummy! Overall Food came out hot, fast, and fresh. Dishes were delicious, huge portions, service was perfect, even the owner came over to chat with us and asked how are meals were. A little bit off the beaten path of the Niagara hotspots however if your craving some good Chinese food at an affordable price in an upscale setting this place definitely fits the bill. FYI They have ample parking.

    We have been coming here for a while now and I have to say Magnolia is one of the best Chinese food places I've ever been. The Restaurant Unlike a lot of Chinese places that can be tacky and overdone Magnolia has the perfect mix of modern and Chinese designs that make the place look great. They tables are a good size(which helps when you order a bunch of dishes) so you don't feel cramped which is nice. They also do take out which is nice if you just want to go home and binge. The Food There are tons of great dishes you can get here. My we love the Thai Chicken and Orange Beef the best. The Thai chicken has a great mix of sweet and spicy and is just all around delicious. We also love their spring rolls, the best I've ever had. Other favorites are the Kung Pow Chicken, Garlic Noodles, Chicken Fried Rice, Buddhas Delight and the Chow Mein. The food is always super fresh and presented beautifully. Another thing that Magnolia has going for them is their portion sizes. All of the dishes are a large portions. With 2 people we normally order rice/noodles and 2 dishes and that will do dinner and then lunch the next day. The Service Everyone at Magnolia is really nice and upbeat. The chef is a funny pretty funny guy as well. Every time we have been there they are always very quick with taking care of us and they are always on the ball getting drinks and getting our food out to us. The kitchen is really fast as well so you aren't waiting a long time fore your food. Whether you are eating in or getting take out if you want Chinese in Niagara Falls this is the place to go.

    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.

    Excellent service- Welcomed with smiles. Arrived a couple minutes past our reservation time, and…read morewas sat immediately. 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.
