Mandarin Restaurant welcomes you to their dining room. Come experience their casual ambiance. They offer a buffet option. You can get there by car and public transit. They are positioned in an area packed with parks and restaurants.
Very good food and great service. It was the best service I have had in a long time.
As for the price, it was good for how much you can eat there and for the food quality. To the complaints about how busy it is: MAKE A RESERVATION.
Mandarin offers a pretty big selection on their buffet. Their food is fresh and hot. But the main problem is, their food seems very bland, and their chinese dishes are not very authentic.
This is a great place if you have a large group you need to please. But if the majority of the group enjoys real chinese food, you are better off at almost any other chinese restaurant in the city.
Overall the atmosphere seems well lit and clean. The staff are friendly and attentive.
I personally would not visit this place again as I find the prices too high for what you get. If you really just want to fill yourself up, I suppose it would be good value, but I prefer quality food over quantity.

tookthe family for dinner tonite. Won't go on a Friday again as it was absurdly busy. We were seated promptly,however, and the hostess was nice. We found the buffet to be clean and well prepped, even though we didn't find it to be authentic chinese as advertised. Our server, Oliver was attentive and efficient and we enjoyed our stay. As we are retired and on a budget we found it to be a little pricey, as far as buffets go. We will return though for a special occasion dinner or celebration perhaps. Good family spot!
We always try to go to Mandarin for lunch if we're going to be in London. You can't beat the food and service. The price isn't bad either for what you get. It's very clean, too, which is a huge plus for me.
I love to eat here, but the prices for lunch is constantly going up. It used to be 8.99, and its up to 11.99, which is getting a bit expensive for a quick lunch! Would like to see lunch prices go down a bit.
