Overall the experience was very forgettable. The food was average, honestly even a bit below average. Ingredients are not as fresh as they can be, and the taste was mediocre to say the least. The service is pretty unprofessional as well. However if you find yourself in Page and craving for Chinese food, this is the best you're going to get. Cost is over $20 which is insane ($12-15 per person is more reasonable for a place like this). Overall, not a bad spot like some reviews I saw. But if you can go a day or two without Chinese food, literally go anywhere else read more

We came to Page, Arizona to visit Antelope Canyon, and my parents were really craving Chinese food--which can be hard to find in the area. This restaurant came up in our search, so we decided to give it a try. We walked in without asking about the prices, but based on Google, we expected meals to be in the $10-$20 range, so we weren't too concerned. However, when it came time to pay, the owner told us it was $22 per adult and $12 for a child. We were shocked to end up paying $86 for 3 adults and 1 child. The selection of food was very limited, and the quality was mediocre at best. There was no itemized receipt, so we couldn't even confirm what we were charged for. It left us wondering if we were the only ones who felt scammed. read more

I knew the reviews of the place was not good but decided to give it a try anyway since my wife wanted to eat Chinese food and there was no other choices in Page. Unfortunately, the real experience there was much worse than I could have ever imagined. The food taste was terrible and ingredients low quality and not fresh. The staff running around pushing a cart with dirty dishes and bump into people. Worse of all, my little boy told me he saw a couple bugs running on the dining table, really unbelievable! They were black and tiny, and ran very fast, so was hard to spot, but I managed to catch one with napkins. Looked like baby cockroaches or something similar. I am not even sure how such a restaurant is allowed to operate. If there are 0 or negative stars, I would do that. read more

Surprised that some of the dishes almost taste like real Chinese food instead of a sit down version Panda Express Price is pretty much doubling Panda Express tho but it's a buffet and sort of in a tourist town, pretty satisfied overall read more

If you are looking for a quick meal in an area with limited Asian options then this is a good choice, but the buffet poor. Not many options and food is either tasteless or too salty. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you have family that is use to only eating only Asian food. Very crowded and loud and service is poor. read more

Horrible service. We asked for water refill and two employees rudely said "hold on" as if we were inconveniencing them. They keep just looking at us with nothing to drink, but acted as if they did want to attend us. Do not come here to eat, they are rude and disrespectful. read more

Craving Asian food, specifically rice and noodles, so we chose this place over the one other Chinese restaurant they had in town. The nail tech we went to the night before did tell us NOT to come here, but we decided to brave it and try it out. Wish we had listened to the recommendation. I know it's a small town, but we pulled up and saw a bunch of Asian tourists getting off shuttles to go in to eat, so it must say something right? Yes, they meant to tell us that there were not many Asian restaurants in town and not to expect anything great. We walked in and a gentleman just asked us what we wanted to drink before we even sat down. Then someone else brought us silverware and napkins and didn't even ask us if we wanted a menu or anything, so I guess it was just the buffet option. The buffet was composed of three small buffet stations with about maybe less than 20 options. Had your basic lo mein noodles, fried rice, fried cheese rangoons, sweet and sour chicken, a few stir fries, and your egg drop soup with corn and hot and sour soup. I don't know if I would have really called it a buffet... But we ate. Food was decently fresh but I'm assuming from the crowds of tourists that stopped in. We had to chase someone down to refill my soda. No one cleared our plates at our table, nor checked on us to see if we needed anything, which was ....fine?... since it was a 'buffet'? Overall the soup was decent, and food was mediocre. Check came out to $48 for two people. A bit overpriced for what we ate, but slim pickings... Dessert was pretty sad. Very thrown together. Hopefully their menu rotates during the week, but I probably wouldn't attempt it again when I'm back in town. read more

This place was ok. We arrived near the end of the day and they still refilled some dishes. We did not fill rushed at all, and the place was still pretty full when we left. The food didn't taste bad, but it wasn't great either. My niece enjoyed the orange chicken and I liked the fried fish. My mother in law said "I'm pretty sure this isn't fresh" (as in fresh caught) and we had to remind her that she's visiting the desert. LOL. I had some mixed veggies that were pretty tasteless, but most other things were good. Some dishes were not hot enough which is concerning. In my opinion $22 for a buffet is a little steep for my 11 yr old niece. We did all leave with a full belly. read more

Good food. Value for money. Sesame balls were amazing!! We paid $39 for the lunch buffet for two. read more

For $22 all you can eat, way better than I expected. The crawfish, shrimp, and maipo tofu are my favorite. read more

Very little options to choose from, they're over price and their food sucked..you have to check how much they charge you before paying because they will over charge you..good thing my husband checked. We went there as family with my four kids, my youngest is 1 yo.. they charged us 6 adults good thing we checked..just avoid that place, go across it, it's called NEW YORK TERIYAKI..the best place!!!I highly recommend that resto read more

Page is a tourist town, and not much of food selection. Especially when you have certain appointment to make and/or you are maximize time between the to-dos, buffett style is very convenient, fast and reasonable. For lunch, Egg fried rice, Chow-mein, White rice, 2 soups: Egg soup and Hot & sour soup, salad & fruits, entries like Broccoli beef, Fried vegetable, BBQ pork, Vegetable shrimp, I like Mongolian pork, Mushroom chicken, Teriyaki chicken, sesame ball and fried ban. read more

Never thought I'd see the return of buffets in these crazy times, but I guess when in a tourist town in otherwise rural Arizona...?? The food is typical cheap Chinese buffet food, so stick to standbys like hot and sour soup and you'll be just fine. I personally was trying to find a meal with some semi-healthy veggies so the beef and broccoli, kung pao chicken (mmm bell peppers and celery), and the usual mixed veggies more than served their purpose. And it's definitely affordable. Plus I can say I helped avoid scurvy! read more

Mandarin Gourmet - Buffet. - Chinese Near Me - Page, Arizona

I took my family here when we were there, their customer service was horrendous. There was very little food selection and the food was decent. The seats were half broken too. For the price i would not recommend this place. read more

The food overall was wonderful. The variety and rice cooker was great! I enjoyed the desert and kind friendly people!

Mandarin Gourmet is a very typical Chinese buffet, but on a smaller scale. We came here with a tour group after going to the Antelope Canyon. The selection is very small and the taste was ok. Pros: - Close to Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon Cons: - Not as many options as your typical Chinese buffet - Kinda pricey ~ $15 for a small buffet - Slow refill on food Overall: - Unless you're a part of one of the tour groups that come through this restaurant, you might as well just eat at one of the fast food restaurants across the parking lot read more

Mandarin Gourmet - The (small) options they do have is "Chinese American" food - Chinese Near Me - Page, Arizona

Ambience, food, service were so disappointing . Very overpriced and low quality food. In terms of service, I got yelled at by one worker for sitting in a booth that another worker directed us to. They were servicing 3 bus tour groups so they were struggling to keep up with the buffet line. Too many empty buffet food trays. But maybe that's fine since the food was crap anyway. We were not part of the tour bus groups. Anyone whose tour bus brought them here picked the wrong tour company! read more

Bad attitude, bad service. The cashier was super rude. The final cost was high, and it didn't worth it. When we asked where the price was listed, we were told that they do not have the price listed and we had little travel experience to ask that kind of question. The receipt is very vague. It has only the total amount. No tax numbers. Another receipt has no title. read more

Worst food i ever had, not fresh. Seems like not fresh food. Not a lot of options. Not recommended for anyone. read more

Lots of foods selection. Freshly cooked foods and clean dining area! The best Chinese restaurant in Page Arizona area!

Bad, but not the worst I have tried with some Chinese buffet! This is the Chinese buffet hooked up with the travel companies or the tour guide for quick lunch after visiting Antelope Canyon. The cost is $15 included tax and tips per person. Not expensive at all if the foods are good! Unfortunately, when the tour buses show up with 50 passengers per bus. The buffet was way overwhelmed. You have 40-45 minutes from the bus stop to finish your lunch! Most of the foods are gone after the first round. They're making very good money if the restaurant can keeps the entire $15 per person. But I think the tour guide has a cut! Lol! The restaurant basically has no service at all. Walked in set down and go get the food yourselves! They don't refills the buffet after the first round! Or they cannot cook fast enough! Foods quality are worst than Panda Express after hours! This is the restaurant should have no business if they are located in the city! read more

Ok so I really WANTED to like this place. The food all looked good in the steamers. Good variety BUT NOTHING WAS HOT...I'm talking not really even warm!!!! Even if you scooped your the bottom of the steamer dish. This concerns me on a couple levels. It makes things taste poor. But most importantly is it even safe to eat??!! Food needs to be kept at a certain temperature and this is NOT. Barely warm. Too bad!! We would have a loved a go to Chinese place in Page but yeah.....go next door! read more

Mandarin Gourmet - A sampling of the buffet. NOTHING is hardly even warm. - Chinese Near Me - Page, Arizona

Horrible experience! Owner and customer service was horrible! We come with a bus tour and the seats filled up quickly. When the seats ran out he started yelling at us for getting our food. He started threatening us and tried fighting. The restaurant is seedy, run down, and smells moldy. I have no idea how they passed their health inspection. If I could give a 0 I would. Worst experience of our life. read more

Meh. Everything was fine. Nothing was extraordinary. I figured as much, though, when I walked in on a Friday night and it wasn't crazy busy. But it did accommodate my and my family (16 of us) so that was nice. The best flavor in my opinion was the sesame chicken. Although it was more breaded than I would have preferred. read more

Very bad food. But it was expensive for what they serve. Should have known better than to try another Chinese buffet. They are usually bad. And so is this one!!!! read more

Our server was rather impatient and rude, spewing obnoxious comments such as, "Will you be ordering tonight?" He's not Chinese, and it's not an English language issue. Plates were set at the table for the 5 of us as we originally wanted to order off the regular menu. However, a few of my friends were famished and opted for the buffet to avoid the wait. The plates used for our table setting were the same as those used for the buffet. Upon hearing that we changed our mind about ordering in favor of the buffet, the same server grabbed one of the plates and took it away saying that we didn't need them then. WTH? So, the buffet. Not what I would have opted, and for obvious reasons why. The MaPo Tofu was red, as if it was made with Siracha instead of the proper ingredients for MaPo Tofu. Similar with the Kung Pao Chicken, where the sauce it sat in was a bit sour, a sign of too much vinegar in the sauce. The meats were inexpensive cuts and may not have been too fresh as corn starch was used to marinate the chicken and beef with in order to soften the texture of those meats. End result is beef and chicken that is soft to the chew but has an unusual texture. Chow Mein or Lo Mein was just mainly noodles tossed in soy sauce and not much else. Same with the Fried Rice. Steamed rice was sticky and mushy, sign of too much water used in cooking the rice. Even the fried dumplings/gyozas had a bit of an acidic bite to them, caused by the chemical change of the cabbage and other processing ingredients used in these pre-packaged frozen dumplings. For $10.98, it's a bargain and an easy draw for many. For me, being worse than Chinatown Expresses found in Los Angeles and Panda Express, I just couldn't eat much of it. Rather, I focused on filling up on the vegetables used in some of the dishes as well as the mixed vegetable dish. 2 stars for the food. 1 star for the rude server (taller medium build gentleman with glasses). 1.5 Stars overall and rounding it up. Runners were helpful with clearing our plates promptly. Oh, one of the workers who brought out a stack of clean plates to restock the buffet bar? Dropped several of them onto the floor, and some of them ended up in the stack of clean plates at the buffet bar. Oy.... read more

I've never felt the need to write a yelp review since most places no matter how bad are tolerable. The owner is a nutcase who thinks because he has the only chinese restaurant in town he can treat us horribly. He yelled and argued with customers and even tried to fight us. The restaurant is falling apart and way too expensive. The plated are dirty and look like they haven't been properly cleaned. It stinks of mold and sewage. There are plenty of better options like Burger King or Subway that are nearby. read more

The only reason why we went to this place is because my parents must eat at a Chinese restaurant wherever they go, even in the middle of nowhere in Arizona. For dinner, they offer a buffet as well as à la carte. The buffet is fairly inexpensive compared to other Chinese buffets I've gone to in California. However, you are getting exactly what you are paying for in the buffet. Let's just say that this place is the classic example of Americanized Chinese food. They serve everything from broccoli and beef to egg rolls to kung pao chicken--and nothing else. The options are fairly limited (only 3 small tables of food). It felt like I was eating out of a whole bunch of Chinese take-out boxes from a 20th century movie. The waiters also probably have no idea the differences between all of the à la carte items. We asked one of them for some dish recommendations and he literally replied with, "We have some fried vegetables, some meats, or some seafood." Thank you for helping me read the menu subheadings. It seemed like most of the people who went to this place were regulars, or people who probably lived in the area. I suppose if this is the closest thing they have to Chinese food around here, then this place is probably a great family dinner night. However, I highly don't recommend anybody passing by to wander into this establishment. Subpar Americanized Chinese food at best. read more

Smells like sewage in the restaurant, food is okay if you can past the smell. Extremely overpriced, almost $50 for one adult and 2 kids during lunch. I would give it zero stars if I could. There are much better options in Page. Across the parking lot is New York Terriyaki and they have much better food . read more

few things, the local business rating lack of description this is a buffet place, should really - list the price per person at front -limit time of ppl dining in restaurant due to buffet all you can eat style -list this place as all-you-can-eat but as said, need to limit time , we ate at 8pm one night last week, was eating everyone's table scrap since there's no new food supply to the buffet items, very disappointing read more

My husband and I were quite impressed with the freshness of the food and cleanliness of the restaurant. I asked the the waitperson if there were any vegan offerings and she actually took the time to show me. I have had so many people point in a direction or wave a hand as if to materialize a note with vegan items. I have yet to have a note appear but I digress. The Mapo tofu was spicy as promised and the vegetable lomain was full of vegetables and egg-free. There is white rice and another vegetable dish. The iced tea is fresh brewed and delicious. There is also a salad bar with fruit, pudding and ranch dressing. My husband enjoyed the kimchee that was fresh. There are also almond and fortune cookies. We noticed a lot of happy locals dining too. I can't understand why there were a few negative reviews because the food was hot, delicious and plentiful. The employees were helpful and friendly too. read more

Too many people digging in the food trays. The cooks are not keeping up with the food service. People are shoulder to shoulder at the food carts. And some just cut you off and take the food. Buffet is probably laced with bacteria because everyone is grabbing the food servers read more

Very limited selections for the price they're charging. And the food is bland and not fresh.

I'm Caucasian and my wife is Taiwanese and this place did scare us some. Each of us noticed on multiple occasions supposedly clean plates on the top of the stack with fried rice or some other food shrapnel remnant on them. If you're paying attention you can see the place isn't clean in more ways than one. The main problem is that tour buses (us included) are clearly this restaurant's primary business. As a result, you might see 4 or more huge buses pull into the lot at similar times and they try to squeeze as many diners as possible into this small with a lean toward medium-sized restaurant. This puts a ton of pressure on their staff and small kitchen to churn and burn because tours are on very tight timeline with lots of road travel. I hope it wasn't the case but I feared all dishes got a quick hot water blast and returned to the stack at the buffet. Somehow, some way though they had food ready to roll because when stuff ran out they replaced it quickly. Another problem is that it is one of few Chinese restaurants in a small desert AZ town. My dad lives in a town about 4.5 times the size of this town in CT and his Asian buffet blew the doors off this one. Dad's buffet was around $6.99 and this was $15.00 and his had twice as much food to choose from. That being said, there were a couple of highlights: FRIED DOUGH BREAD -- lightly dusted w/table sugar; great texture; one of the better renditions I've had FRIED CHICKEN -- not a golden hen mind you but it had a semi-crunchy dark coating and the chicken was good and pretty moist CHOW MEIN -- plenty edible but maybe not memorable Some other things were edible but not worth mentioning. I will say though that I was crossing my fingers while at the hotel later that something wicked didn't hit my gutler given how this place operates. read more

Dine in - $15 Take out -$15 per box* *If the waitress thinks you are fitting too much in the box despite the box closing with nothing overflowing, she'll bitch about it and it'll cost more. It is not like we didn't read the reviews, but we thought service couldn't be that bad if we ordered take out.... Go to Great Wall of China instead, at least they charge by weight and don't give their customers shit. read more

The selection was limited but whatever they had was delicious! I don't even know why they had two stars they deserve at least 3 to 4 for being delicious. We drop by after a very long trip and just went to have something decent to eat for decent price and that's exactly what we got. read more
