Mandarin Restaurant Pickering

Fantastic Establishment

I went around supper time and i was pleasantly surprised by how i was seated as soon as i arrived. I made the Reservation for 7:30 but got there alot sooner and was seated promptly which was pleasing, the prime rib was wonderful, everything else was fresh, clam chowder was not too hot which was good, service was wonderful can't wait to go back again.

For buffet food this is just great, live up in the Ottawa Valley for a while and see what they call chinese and you will think this is fine dining. It is a little costly, service is fine. It's clean and they take care of you. Food seems fresh enough, there is enough rotation that it doesn't get all hard and stiff. They should not bother with Japanese food however that is a shame. But overall I will be back when I can afford it.

fantastic resturant

I went to mandarin Pickering last week and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was nicely decorated for the Moon festival and they also added a few new dishes that were fantastic! Everyone was exceptionally polite from the hostesses to the servers. Maybe what I heard about the management changing is true because compared to our last visit, this time eveything was fantastic! Overall it was a great experience for everyone, we're looking forward to going back again soon!

While the selection is great and the salads are above-par, the hot dishes were a disappointment. I actually witnessed an employee pour hot water into a dish and stir it up to make it look fresh even though it had previously congealed. With regards to the service, I recognize how they want to portray a welcoming atmosphere, but hearing "welcome to Mandarin" 50 times while walking to my table is quite annoying. With respect to the management, the gentleman who manages the restaurant is extremely good at yelling and belittling the employees in public, but terrible with the guests. This restaurant has potential, but it is far from achieving it at this point.
