Note you now have to register your birthday in advance to take advantage of the free dinner and you have to have 3 paying people with you Seniors get 20% off I visited for dinner and I came exactly when they open at 5:00. They have quite a few options your standard Asian options general Tao chicken, lemon chicken, mussels, Chow mein, Shanghai noodles but they also have a carving station where you can get prime rib the prime rib I would say is served medium if you like your meat any less cook you won't be able to get it like that. They also had a station with pizza it didn't look too appetizing if I'm going to be honest. And then of course lots of dessert and ice cream however there is no sugar-free option and the dessert. I did find that we're all the food was okay typically it was either under seasoned or salty and I get it when you're cooking for a lot of people you tend to put a less salt and pepper so that people can add as they need. The staff were super friendly and nice both the serving staff as well as the management they always wanted to make sure that you were okay and they came around and cleaned the plates very timely read more

Mandarin Restaurant - Buffets Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Pricey but 5 stars all around if you are hungry there is no better buffet deal anywhere these days in Canada anyway for quality food Free dinners and 20% off for seniors and the selections often vary when they celebrate different holidays. Turkey today for Easter so it is not just Chinese food. Smaller that the other fancy location in Brampton but I enjoy the smaller crowds and the selections are about the same I wish they would put ginger beef as a regular. I miss it! read more

I have never been on a cruise ship or two a resort hotel, but I imagine the experience I had here would be comparable. Finding this place, which is located in a commercial or industrial warehousing district, would be challenging without GPS. Upon pulling up we thought it might have been an old hotel at one point. The entrance is grand, though, and nicely decorated. When we walked in we were met at a greeter station and introduced to a guy who was our "guide" around the buffet. He pointed out the various stations and featured entrees as well as his favorites (I suspect they are told what to say), and then led to the "blue room". Named because it is entirely blue in an almost Disney-esque way, it had one wall composed entirely of a fish tank! We took turns getting our food and watching our toddler, and there were lots of options here. Of note, nothing was especially great but nothing was terrible either. Many of the American-Chinese dishes were missing, but in their place were more things geared for kids. They had a full dessert station with lots of pies and cakes and cookies. They didn't have a lot of seafood but that was fine with me. They had sushi and a prime ribbing carving area. They had a koi pond and a panda display and a gift shop (!). In all, it was like walking through a movie based on a Chinese buffet. This is the flagship restaurant of the Mandarin chain and not all are like this. They told us about their signature "sweet and sour chicken meatballs", which are like sweet and sour chicken except each piece is the size of a golf ball. I remembered these were common in Toronto and not in the USA and now I know why. I don't think the food was better than average, but the experience was mindblowing. No doubt it is built into the price, but what a fun experience it was to come here. I would love to come back for a special occasion. read more

Mandarin is a buffet style dining experience and they offer a full selection of all the popular Chinese dishes as well as pizza, wings, a roast beef carving station and so much more. It's a great place to take a large group as there is sure to be something to please even the pickiest eaters. In addition, there's an enormous dessert buffet area offering every type of dessert from cakes to pies and cookies and many flavors of ice cream. The atmosphere is colorful and cheerful with enormous aquariums separating the dining areas from the buffet. Service is quick and courteous, you are offered warm hand towels both before and after the meal and our plates were cleared away as soon as they were emptied. We were a large family group with every age range represented and everyone was happy with their food. read more

Was here just a week before the closure due to COVID-19. This place is unlike other Mandarin restaurant as it is the headquarters, it has a corporate office, banquet hall as well as the regular buffet restaurant. The food here is awesome withvarieties not tasted in the Markham locations. You can order sushi on the ipad, however ours never came. The environment and decor is awesome and unbelievable. Live birds, salt qater tanks, running waterfall etc. I would definitely come back again if we are in the area. read more

Lunch Review Chinese New Year Well lunch isn't the best Give it an 4 out 10 17.99$ for weekday lunch (it's okay) Half menu for 5$ then dinner Go for Dinner! At the Main Location I ate 1/3 of the food poured, like I said it's nothing special Don't think the price is worth it for lunch The owner served us and didn't even give us the red envelope for Chinese New Year to there first customers! The Management Needs work! The owner told me to say my opinion to their main location! Because there the franchise owners only and something about spending 60 million on media (not sure) We love to review your location again read more

Great food selection and service at this location! The servers were always on point when it came to cleaning the table or bringing water.

Confession time : Ok so I don't really like buffets. Why did I end up here you ask? My fiance's dad loves them and they only time we end up going is on his birthday and Fathers Day. I just find I eat too much and don't ever find anything overly tasty. When we visited they had their crab leg event on. I tried a couple of legs and they were a-ok. Was kind of intense to see people hovering and snatching around the trays as the crab was refilled... just not my scene. Random observation : the tables here are super small. Or at least the one we were seated at. We were a party of 6 but honestly it felt like we were at a 4 people sized table - so squished! Restaurant was pretty clean and the food was displayed in almost all instances in a very attractive way. Highlight for me was probably the dessert table. Loved seeing a 5 year old girl top her pea sized dollop of ice cream with literally 14 scoops of sprinkles - get it girl! Will probably return again someday (against my will). read more

AYCE buffets are tailored made for women and men with a large appetite. However, this is a tell-tale sign that seldom fortunes of great food. Mandarin is your typical buffet that serves average Asian-Fusion cuisine. During my recent venture, I visited on a cold, afternoon with my friends. Entering the front doors, two waitresses greeted us. Quickly seated at our table, my friends and me raced towards the buffet line, stomachs growling for food. The food lacks quality and has fewer variety of food. Most food items are bland and taste unfresh. However, sashimi at the sushi counter is served exclusively (out of all Mandarin locations I visited) at this location. The décor is modern and feels welcoming, which has a different look to other Mandarins. The service is below average. The waiter was not attentive and unprofessional when serving. During my lastest visit, the waiter frowned upon my actions for photographing for my Yelp review. Mandarin is a disappointment compared to the other locations. I do not recommend this to anyone. Update Jan 24: Edited grammatical errors, includes my lastest visit and more detail. read more

My experience here was amazing, post-COVID the food was served like a regular restaurant and my family and I were given hot towels, which was really nice. The food was great, I had an awesome time, and the founders (James and George) are super sweet. Definitely recommend! read more

We usually love this location. We have gone here at least once a month since they opened 4 years ago. Today, however, was not good. There is totally new wait staff, who made me feel that I had to rush to finish my meal. They seemed to hover around the tables. The food was also cold. However, I must say, when we spoke to the Assistant Manager, Liana, she was so apologetic and felt so bad, because she recognized us, she offered to comp the meal. Hubby said no, and paid the bill, however with no tip. As we were leaving, she presented me with a stuffed Panda. I am sure every restaurant has a bad day. read more

I'm not a fan of buffets and this one is no different than any other Mandarin. In fact it's way smaller than any other one I've been to with a lot less choices. The ONLY thing that is different about this one that I've noticed, is at the sushi counter, they had sashimi. It was fresh and really tasty. I had a few plates of that. Other than that, it's the usual. I have to say that the service here was really great. The servers were attentive, always coming to remove plates, and even offered to take photos of my boyfriends niece as we sung her happy birthday. I would go back for the service, but not the food (except maybe the sashimi!) read more

I've always come to Mandarin (whether this one, or other locations) not out of my choosing. To state the obvious: this is Westernized Chinese food 101. I won't be too proud to admit that I can find some guilty pleasure in some of it (though my bloated-ness and fatigue after eating is not pleasurable). That said, why would you ever want to pay over $20 for food no better than Manchu Wok at a food court near you? I'm not even saying it to be cruel: the food is directly on par with Manchu Wok. Won't the chow mein or fried rice with 3 sides at $8.99 suffice for people? And some of the 'unique' things they offer over Manchu Wok are either forgettable (dessert) or plain nasty (sushi). I'll give them credit for running a tight ship and always having good service. But I won't lie to say that I cringe anytime I hear 'x' family member wants their birthday dinner there, and I can basically throw away my valued (and limited) money. read more

We called at 5:30 pm and asked them if we needed to make reservations for 6:45 pm. We were told that they was no need. When we arrived at 6:45, they told us to wait 30 min. Why didn't they set up a reservation in the first place. Once in the buffet, we did get good service. read more

Went here with a group to have dinner as 1 of our friends was visiting from out of town. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Constantly filling our drinks, getting our empty plates and getting us napkins. If they apot 1 of us having crab legs on our plate... they would bring the tool to crack the shell. Parking can be a bit of a pain during busy times... linch and dinners. Noce find... as the one on 410 and Steeles lacks in some good staff. read more

Been to several ayce Chinese restaurants all over North America and this place impressed me. We all know ayce isn't the best place to get quality dining, but this place is actually legit! Service was great. Food was fresh (thank goodness) and DELICIOUS. Its not like other ayce places where the food is terrible. My favourite was the garlic pepper chicken. The dessert was great too. Ice cream was actually creamy and not just frozen water like at other buffets. Restrooms were super clean. Definitely would come back here. A+++ read more

I ordered delivery at 5:50 on a Saturday afternoon. Over the phone, we were told it would be a 60-90 minute delivery time. Pretty disappointing given that Brampton West is about a 5-10 minute drive from our house. After 90 minutes I tried calling the restaurant for an update on our food... I tried over 25 times (and have the phone records to prove it!), and every time the phone line was busy. Our credit card was charged at around 7:40, which we know as my husband has configured text message alerts when his card is charged. At 8:15, on call number 32, I finally got ahold of someone at the restaurant, who apologized stating they had a new driver and that he should be there any minute. I asked if the food was still fresh or if it had been sitting since our card was charged and was told it would be fresh and that the restaurant would process a 50% refund on our dinner for the inconvenience. The food arrived at 8:35. The portions were actually smaller than I expected, and so-so. Surprisingly the entrees didn't come with rice. The sushi was dreadful. I paid half price, but it was honestly overpriced even at that given the portion size and the quality of the food. Very disappointing. read more

Great food and app been better customer service. I will recommend this place to large groups and families.

My friend and I went there for lunch. We had a 15 minute wait which was not bad at all. Our servers were lovely once we were seated. Like another review said, the buffet is missing things. However since the Mandarin on Biscayne Crescent is so far away from my house, it is a very small walking distance. I like that. Overall, it was a good experience, but I wish there was more variety when it came to the food. I think I would eat there again. read more

First time ordering from this branch of Mandarin. It will be the last time! Chicken balls were so hard you could barely stick a fork in them. The beef & vegetables dish had chunks of broccoli in it the size of your fist. I think they should have been much smaller!! They were also absolutely hard. The chow mein was soggy. And everything was COLD. Not a good start!! read more

This is my favourite Mandarin so far. The decor is more upscale than the other Brampton Mandarin. I came here with my family for my birthday and had a great time. There's also something to eat for everyone. We especially liked the all you can eat crab legs and the "cream caramel" cake. Our waitress Jo-Jo was friendly and hospitable. read more

Service and food is amazing, abit pricey though .. Ambiance is great very welcoming and friendly staff..

Came in pretty late. Staff said the kitchen closes at 9:30. We arrived at 8:30. We usually eat pretty fast, but we asked the host if they will be putting away food soon or there will still be good variety. She replied that they still have food and a lot of selection since it was chinese new year. The restaurant was very nice, a little too stuffy and warm for my liking, but wasn't unbearable. Food selection was not that great. Food looked like they were sitting there the whole day. The taste and quality wasn't that great neither. Every bite felt like it was lacking something. We also had to wait pretty long and had to ask twice for some water. At 9:20, they were putting away all the dessert, while I was going to grab some. Staff didn't even bother asking me if I wanted to have any, they literally grab it out of my reach and quickly put it away or even throw it right in the garbage so I won't get the chance to ask for it. I know we came late, but we specifically asked at what time they were closing the kitchen. If we had known they were ready to kick everyone out, we wouldn't have stayed and mostly, they shouldn't have take us in to make a quick buck. Mandarin, NO NO NO read more

Our family of 5 went there last week for the first time. We usually go to Biscayne or Matheson. It definitely felt smaller and the decor was not the bright, light Mandarin type. The food was good as usual but the choices were not as good. The kids liked the cotton candy machine and sushi the best. We going for father's day but not at this location until it improves. read more

I came last Wednesday to this new location. Everything was fantastic. The service was great, friendly and attentive. Something different that they have cotton candy machine. I am not worry about what my kids will eat since they have a lot of variety of food. My kids really like that. Will come back again read more

I found the food was like cafeteria fare. This is what I expected of a buffet. I felt I was back at the school/university dining hall again. It would have been nice if the server had come around more to fill our water glasses. We sat with empty water glasses for around 20 minutes before a server showed up and they weren't busy. read more

New Brampton location. Very neat. Servers are attentive to details. Food is good and hot. The place is smaller that the main location at Brampton. Fewer variety of food. read more
