Very nice staff, extremely great food, staff does come often, excellent desserts, a bit crowded on afternoons, but still a very good experience
I really like this restaurant from the attentive staff, to the clean Buffett area and spacious and clean dining areas. The food is really good depending on your choices. One big thing we found out tonight is they will no longer be having the crab legs and that was a big draw for us and a big part of justifying the >30$ price tag. Not sure if we will return.
Let's be honest, it's a Chinese buffet with tons and tons of choices that are always fresh and constantly replenished. Quality is there, very nice choice of desserts. The service is also good. Only minus point is that this is a very expensive place.
Great buffet selection, quality food which is not always the case in Chinese buffets. Atmosphere and service is good too. Very big lines ups for the weekend time, you should plan ahead of time.
The customer service was great! It's been about 5 years since I've had Mandarin. The last one I had was in Toronto. The food was tasty not to bad. The dessert I loved! All the options and great treats. The food was good for a buffet. It wasn't to busy, but we did go during lunch on a Tuesday so it as nice having the time to pick out what we wanted without having to wait.
I have only been to Mandarin during lunch time; maybe I will need to try it a third time for dinner instead to fully experience all they have to offer. Most of the hot lunch items are unfortunately pretty greasy BUT they do have very fresh shrimp, their sushi is pretty good for all you can eat, and their dessert selection is not only impressive but also tasty.
The front staff and waiters were also accommodating of my one year old niece's egg allergy and were honest with us when we enquired about the items that she could eat. Be warned most items do contain eggs and if you have a severe egg allergy, you will not be able to eat anything at Mandarin. However, they are understanding of any allergies and we were able to bring food from outside to feed my niece.
A summary: Great variety of dishes. Excellent service. Warm hand towels before and after our meal. Place was jam-packed but still very friendly and efficient. I'll be going back.
Very busy for a Monday night! Food was still very fresh and plentiful. Loved the mussels. There were lots of different chicken choices. Unfortunately the salmon was a bit too dry. Lots dessert choices as well if you have room left. My hankering for sushi and shrimp was satisfied.
Very happy with my dining experience at Mandarin buffet. Clean, bright new venue, with professional and very friendly staff.
I found the food to be quite good overall with a greater selection than most buffets, especially when it came to the desserts. Definitely more than enough options to please any hungry diner.
I also really enjoyed receive hot towels before and after the meals, it was a nice touch.
Good value buffet, will be back again.
A very impressive buffet. Large selections of different foods covering all aspects of Asian dining. Fresh sushi, dumplings and soups. The dessert bar was again an amazing selection. Food quality is about the same as you would find at a mall food court, but with the ability to help yourself endlessly it is definitely great value. Make sure you come hungry to really make use of the buffets full potential. The service was very impressive also, plates removed from tables between each plate refill and complimentary hot towels before and after dining.
A thoroughly enjoyable dining room experience.
Enjoy!

Our first time back since Lockdowns over 2 years ago.
Our main concern was that the buffet wouldn't be the same in terms of food selection and quality of experience (with prices remaining what they were) due to everything that has gone on these last years. But we were happy overall with our visit!
Yes, the food selection and quality is exactly the same as we remember it with all of our favorites there.
The atmosphere was upbeat and relaxed which was a relief and made the experience fun, as if life was 'back' and we could simply enjoy again.
As far as restrictions go, the restaurant has no internal vaccine mandate and masks are optional. Some people choose to wear them and some didn't and there was no tension whatsoever in that regard. Everyone seemed happy to be there to take in the evening. They do however make you wear disposable gloves to get your food and have a temperature check machine at the reception where you put your wrist up to it for a second while it reads your temp. We didn't like those very much and hope they too go soon, but it didn't detract too much from our overall enjoyment.
The service was excellent as usual. Thanks to manager Kim for all of her help while making a reservation and our server Betty who was pleasant and seemed happy to be with us that evening.
We'll be back.
The buffet is excellent at the Mandarin in Orléans! It’s a great place to enjoy time with family and friends. Sushi is so delicious there.
Very good service and friendly staff. I recommend this restaurant buffet and it’s worth the price.
Post Covid Experience: No masks required. Added step of wearing gloves each time but was totally fine. Just worry about the waste. Service was excellent. Food selection was good but could use more fresh salads. Deserts spread is best of any buffet!
Allan was a great server with a warm greeting and excellent knowledge of the restaurant. I would definitely recommend bringing the whole family or even a first date.
We have been eating at the Mandarin in Orleans for the past 11 years. The buffet is excellent, I have yet to taste a dish that was not good. The food is always fresh, hot tasty. The restaurant itself if very clean and the staff is very polite and pleasant. Keep up the good work. Sylvie
So glad to see the buffet open and fully operational. Great selection of food for any taste. Perfect spot in Orleans for a family gathering or birthday party. There will definitely be something delicious for everyone no matter their preference. The service is great, May and Betty were fantastic. If you're looking for a night out in Orleans this is a special spot! 5/5 Stars you need to eat here!
