I loved that and the added dishes were very tasty! I always love my experience at the Mandarin. The attendants are very quick to clear the table of dirty dishes and make you feel welcome.
TONS of variety, friendly staff, hot, healthy, delicious and a pretty good deal. Sushi, lamb, prime rib, and even 'gourmet' foods. You can eat right away too. Much better than your usual buffet style restaurant.
We were recently at Mandarin at Eglinton and Yonge to celebrate our Mom's birthday. She always loved that location and enjoyed every bite of food there. Everything was festive for the Chinese New Year and we tried four plates of food before ending with the ice cream and some Nanaimo bars. I wish they had the chocolate covered strawberries they have in the summer but considering it was winter...
The hot and sour soup was wonderful, not too spicy and I am a spice wimp. We even tried the Thousand Year Old Egg Salad which was quite exotic and fascinating. Not my favourite thing on the menu but I have never had anything quite like it. For the New Year they also has dumplings which were very good.
I have had sushi there before that was quite good but this time it was just OK. Focus on the Chinese food and you will be fine. I loved trying a little bit of everything as usual at Mandarin and maybe we will go back for Mother's Day this year too.
