Mandarin Restaurant – Pickering - Pickering, Ontario

Great food, great service thanks Loc and Annie for your friendly service and also paying attention to details. We love Mandarin♥️♥️

I had an excellent experience at Mandarin on Canada Day. The free buffet was an incredibly generous gesture, and the event was managed efficiently. The staff handled the queue well, ensuring there was no rush inside. The customer service by Loc and Annie was outstanding, and the food was fantastic. I ... am so grateful to Mandarin for providing such a wonderful buffet! Thank you, Mandarin @Pickering! Read more

Came the Mandarin with my mom for their FREE Canada Day buffet! The food was fresh, delicious, well stocked and there was lots of variety! 🤩 Vince was an amazing server, such a kind and personable young man! All the staff were remarkably sweet!

Celebrated a colleagues birthday at Mandarin Pickering and everything was great! Food’s all served fresh and delicious and the place is clean. We just loved it, especially the sushi bar and the salmon. We were also so impressed by the service of Paula and Michael, they are just so accommodating and ... efficient, and really friendly. I highly recommend Mandarin Pickering to you guys. You should try it and see for yourself the excellent service. 😊 Read more

This buffet was almost empty, and for good reason. Our evening start off with the hostess that didn't escort us to our table, they pouted to the room we would be sitting in and gave us instructions on how to get to our table. It took forever and a day ... to have someone show up to order drinks, it would have been faster for me to go to the convenience store buy our drinks come back and drink it before our wait staff came to the table. But it's not their fault, it appear they were managing more than one entire room. This is poor management, your guest service was terrible on on all level, my party had to wait for long periods to get refills. The food also was not good, I had shrimp, which tasted like it was left over from lunch service, and was soggy, I had the lemon chicken, which I don't think was touched throughout the meal service so it was also soggy. The warmers weren't warm, so the food was just above room temp. Most items weren't refilled, until there was one in the bin or zero, and some items they would replace the food with a tray, to say they weren't refilled. The grilled items however were filled. The dessert items were not. They only Had oranges from fruit. They ran out of chocolate covered strawberries, melons, and only had one flavour of jello. Salad was running low, there was more displays of ice on their tables of the buffet for salad and dessert than the actual bowls of food. My guests and I were so disappointed in the quality of food as well. We tried the honey crunchy sticks (basically fried wonton rappers coated in browned melted sugar), this was hard and stale, and soaked on one side with sugar. The sushi rolls were mostly rice, and quite bland, the vegetarian cucumber rolls are standard. But the dynamite rolls were tempura shrimp wrapped in rice and nori. The other rolls were lacking creativity as well, and were mostly rice. Also the sushi table was next to empty when we got there as well at about 730 pm on a Friday night. I was wondering why the place was empty when I walked in, but soon found out what terrible quality of food, lack of refills when food ran out, and slow service was all Contributing this. I brought 7 people and a birthday coupon, and they still charged us for 7 people, and didn't use the birthday coupon they took from us at the door and charged us at $39.99 per person. I have not been so disappointed in the service, quality of food or overall experience. I have never said this before of any restaurant, but I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT! IF THERE WAS A ZERO STAR THIS LOCATION EARNED IT. Read more
