Mandarin Restaurant - Kitchener

Had lunch with my son and daughter in law for Christmas celebration. I made our reservation 2 days ago and was explained fully what to expect the time limit to stay, the price per person, my reservation . That’s good! There are a lot of food choices from salad bar, soup, sushi, main dish, dessert, etc. Staff is also pleasant and attentive. It’s a great place to celebrate special occasion like Christmas!

Haven't been to a buffet in five plus years. This buffet was well presented with numerous options. There were lots of meats and lots of desserts as well as a full salad bar. I did note that there was a lacking of vegetables but there was enough other food to make up for it. They had a roast beef bar as well as a sushi bar included. We topped everything off with a fruit and dessert bar. There were dozens of cakes available as well as a full ice cream bar. Lots of food and went home full. Best part was getting cotton candy on the way out to eat in the car on the way home!

I've been eating at Mandarin with my family for 16 years and the food is excellent here as always. Aside from the food, I love the mocktails and the service Raymond was my server but there was also Paul whom served my table occasionally.

Went here for dinner on my mom’s birthday and loved it!! There were a wide breadth of tasty dishes to choose from, with many unique specials for Canada Day. The staff and waiters were very kind, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Decor was lovely, great atmosphere, and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend!

Henry was literally THE best server ever. He needs a raise. He was joyful, wonderful, and the most funny waiter there is. If there was a 6 star option, I would’ve voted that. If you come here, come for Henry.
