Mandarin

Kung Hei Fat Choi/ Happy New Year. We visited the newest Mandarin here at Niagara Square to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The restaurant was well decorated for the occasion and the wait staff all looked smart in the bright red showy uniforms. The food was tasty as we have found in other Mandarin restaurants and we appreciated the special dumplings dishes specific to the New Year. The special food makes the restaurant interesting. The server was very friendly as was the hostess. Major criticism would be that there is no mall access and that you must go outside to enter the restaurant. This is a ridiculous trend that is being repeated over and over at Niagara Square. Canada is cold and miserable in winter!

Our small group was very impressed with this new location at the Niagara Square. The service was knowledgable and helpful. The staff was so very welcoming we were smiling the whole time.They have cooks in the buffet area that were a real treat. They seemed to be having a great time cooking and serving freshly grilled meats, pizza and golden dumplings.(chinese new year) They were very quick to accommidate our requests as we wanted extra condiments on the side.(It was all brought to our table by one of them!)
All the food available to us was very fresh and tasty. The wide variety of fare was ensured fresh by replacing the trays of food before it started to look tired,not when it was empty,like other buffets. Even if the trays were almost half full,they were replaced with a new tray. Our server Sherree was very smooth in keeping our table clean and our wine glasses full.They have a nice variety of wines too!
Mandarin, in our own back yard! Long overdue.
