There's a lot to like here. Notably, they have an excellent Peking duck (called Beijing duck)... one of the only true peking ducks still available in the entire northeastern United States. Quality food. Kind and attentive staff.

Saddened they don't have the buffet they use to have. Quality of food has diminished a bit. shrimp dish was a bit over cooked. Veggies are fresh. Loved the Crispy Pad Thai ... veghie Spring rolls are refreshing , but could use more cucumber and carrot. was mostly cabbage... fried rice was average. Pre-pandemic this place was my favorite Asian restaurant. Still the variety of Asian foods is wide, w Japanese, and some other variations other than Chinese. The buffet was the big draw. I still like the place, but don't love it like I use to.

Excellent service. Delicious food. I had the Pad Thai. Very fresh. The won ton soup was also delicious. The waitress was lovely and excellent. I would really recommend this business.

We love the Mandarin, but I'm we sure do miss the Sunday buffet. Our family would get together and enjoy a Sunday afternoon meal there, and with everyone having different likes and taste buds the buffet worked best for us. We still go, just not as often as we used to. The food is delicious no matter what you order.

We went last Friday and the service was absolutely atrocious, so not sure we will bother coming back in person, but will stick with take out!

Poor quality sushi, poor service and the staff don’t care that you are there. They will hangout and do their thing while you spend time to attract their attention.No one will explain the sushi and I ordered the Mandarin Combo. Everything was sashimi and it was not fresh. How much Sashimi can you eat. Don’t waste your money here.

Went yesterday and was so disappointed. Chicken fingers were bland as well as there wings. Egg rolls had no meet. More like spring rolls. Fried rice was dry like it was reheated. Sorry to say but this was truly a one and done visit.

Mandarin is always consistent. I order from here once every month or so, and the food is always as I expect it to be. The quality is good, nothing is particularly greasy, and the price is reasonable.I recently had Mandarin cater my Christmas party, and the large order of food was just as good as smaller orders I've placed in the past. I felt the price was reasonable, and the communications around the order were prompt, and the food was ready for pickup when I arrived to get it, and it was still hot.
