I recently dined at Mandarin Pickering and it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a fantastic meal. The highlight of our visit was the exceptional service provided by Sylvia and Keno. Sylvia was attentive and knowledgeable, always ready with a smile and great recommendations. Keno was equally impressive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and making sure we had everything we needed. Their teamwork and professionalism truly enhanced our dining experience. I highly recommend Mandarin Pickering for anyone looking for a combination of delicious food and impeccable service. A special thanks to Sylvia and Keno for making our evening unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back!
Our service team for a table of 27 (all family) was led by Michael. They were excellent. It was my mother-in-law's birthday and they brought a piece of cake with a candle, we sang Happy Birthday and they took a picture of all of us. The food quality is always good and the staff was wonderful. Thank you!
We celebrated a birthday for my mother-in-law here. Here's a tip if you register your email and birthday online you will get a free buffet voucher (lunch or dinner) as long as dine in with 3 paying people. I live close to this restaurant and they are very successful. The variety of food is diverse and all the dishes I tried were delicious. The soups were fresh and hearty. There's hot n sour, Clam chowder, egg drop soup. The grill section had roast beef, mashed potatoes, grilled chicken, sausage, pineapple, pizza, bacon, etc. Theres a small sushi bar section offering maki rolls, sashimi, and seaweed salad. The cooked food section offered many hot delectable options. Some of my favourites were the honey garlic pork spareribs, baked salmon, torpedo shrimp, breaded shrimps, calamari, fried chicken wings, stir fried green beans, sauteed broccoli, etc. The servers refilled water and cleared the plates efficiently. The birthday celebrant also got a free photo and birthday song played from a portable speaker. Overall, a very pleasant experience and surprised ai have visited here more often since I live nearby. I recommend this restaurant as there are many delicious food items to choose from.
Very cleaned establishment, service was slower than other locations, we oftentimes had the table full of empty plates and no one refilled our water. But again it could be a one time thing I always love the mandarin restaurant in general since they had a good choice of fresh food compared to other Chinese buffet.
Great food and great service! There just the right amount of options; not too much and not too little so that you can get a taste of everything. The decor is beautiful and the staff are all really friendly. The birthday boy (my dad) was happy and so was my wallet because his meal was free :)
Nice surprise meal with family at Mandarin for the first time in a long time. From the front reception, to our server Gigi, the nice manager and singing chef, everyone was very welcoming, pleasant and made the lunch better. Good selection of food and I left very full.
It’s been a long time since I last came. I used to come less often because I felt that the Chinese food at Mandarin was too Westernized and not authentic enough. This time, after a long break, I find the taste has improved a lot and is much more authentic. So, I’d like to recommend it.
This is by far the best Chinese Buffet that i bean to for a long time. The service is royal ! The give hot mini towel when you arrive and leave! Very fast to clean the table and bring water. Very kind and helpful for people with disabilities. All you can drink soft drink when you order one. So many choices of food ! I liked everything, the ribs, multiples choices of shrimp, 3 dessert tables ! And a soft ice cream machine and toping ! Stop by and eat there !
Sylvia and Vince are efficient staff at Mandarin Pickering! Fast and Good teamwork. Superb Service everytime i come to this location! Love coming back! Nice to celebrate our Christmas2024
The rating says it all

Most of them were nice but I want to thank Michael, a server at Mandarin, for his exceptional service during my visit. He was kind, attentive, and ensured everything I requested was delivered promptly. His warm smile and professionalism made my dining experience truly enjoyable. I deeply appreciated his excellent customer service! Kid-friendliness: Saw kids around
Our attendant Sylvia was very sweet, and always had a smile while serving. Environment was clean and festive.
It is a great place to eat. Not all that pricey considering that you can have all you want of a large variety of foods. And they are all well prepared, seasoned and fresh. Busy enough most of the time that servings disappear without sitting for very long. Enjoyed it very well, but not in a position to eat that quantity very often.
Paula Abishek were amazing, great service, and helped us out so much!
Great food options and friendly staff. Paula and Abishek were so kind.
Offering fresh and delicious choices, a very cordial atmosphere and attentive staff! I learned from our server Sylvia that she has worked here for 30 years since its opening and others have worked here for over 20 years! Sylvias cheerful attitude and great service is a testament to this well run establishment. Amelia and Loc as well added to our wonderful service. Anyone who enjoys a variety of yummy, well prepared and varied food offerings will definitely enjoy the Mandarin Pickering!
Sylvia was an amazing server, so polite and kind, pleasant and knowledgeable! Will definitely be back to this mandarin! Hopefully we will see Sylvia next visit!! Parking: Plenty of free parking

It was truly a wonderful experience! Sylvia, a staff member, managed everything single-handedly with exceptional efficiency and provided us with outstanding service. Her dedication and professionalism made our visit all the more enjoyable.
The place is good for the seniors deal and large groups of people with different dietary needs and palates. The quality was always mediocre, and has declined over the years. I do not know how buffets survive as a business, but Mandarin seems to have even after Covid, and for that I give them credit.
Ambiance is good. Alice and John offered excellent customer service. Food is good as always.
Alice and John were very helpful and pleasant with our service !

I was very disappointed with one of my items, Cantonese Chow Mein, portions was fine but it was just covered in prue sugar water, more water than anything else. Was not impressed. Other items which I ordered were delicious.
Great food-especially for a buffet
Always love the lunch menu. And Gigi was an amazing server!
The restaurant is great. I have went here many times during my life and every time they have yet failed to disappoint me. There are many options at the buffet and they all taste great. The service is also very good and the waiters are all very nice and efficient (shoutout to Michael). They also sing you happy birthday and give you a free framed photo of your birthday. Overall a great restaurant 10/10 Parking: Great parking and has tons of spots.

What are you expecting? Its a buffet. With Chinese food. And other stuff. Stay for hours, eat until your pants dont fit. This is the buffet way. We go once or twice a year for someones birthday, its always kind of fun. Could be more Chinese food and less salad bar and pizza, but to each their own.
Celebrated a birthday here and was treated so well! Sylvia was an outstanding waitress, she told us about getting the birthday meal for free and took our photo. Definitely would come back to this location :)
Michael the waiter at the pickering location excellent , courteous service
Sylvia and Tom were super sweet and the food was good as always. Another nice family dinner @ Pickering Mandarin
Sylvia and Tom were very kind and attentive. Made my daughters birthday dinner lovely.

On Saturday November 9, my wife and I, along with 18 of our family and friends, gathered at Mandarin (Pickering), to celebrate a birthday party. My wife and I cannot thank Mandarin enough for providing us with a private room, (room D) and the most attentive staff we have ever encountered in a restaurant. The efficiency and attention to detail, was second to none. The food was stellar, and everyone ate to the point, were I bet Mandarin had to order in a second supply truck. Everything was absolutely outstanding. Again thank you so much Mandarin Pickering you folks are the best.
Superb service, thanks Sylvia, Danny and Tom, we appreciate your good service and attitude, the grill people are very good and courteous
Sylvie and Tom were great! They always came to check up on us.

The buffet was impressively clean and well-stocked, which made it easy to find something delicious at every visit. Speaking of delicious, the prime rib was absolutely amazing cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Overall, the variety of food choices was top-notch, catering to all tastes and preferences. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a great dining experience with excellent service and fantastic food!
