My husband and I have been going to the Mandarin Buffet ever since it opened. When it first opened it was nice. The decor was nice and fresh and clean. Now you get grossed out when you sit at a table and there's smeared food on the walls right next to you. Plus, they don't even wipe the tables or seats between the people before you sitting there and you sitting there. There were pieces of food stuck on my seat and the table had some slimy sauce on it. It was disgusting.
The food is hit or miss. Sometimes it is good, sometimes not so good, cold or has been sitting out too long.
Yesterday we went there for lunch around 1:00. We have no children and forgot that it was Father's Day until we saw how packed it was. We hadn't been here for several months, so we were very surprised to get a bill charging $15.99 per person. Lunch is supposed to be $9.99 and dinner (after 4:00) $15.99. It wasn't this high the last time we came. Then we tried to use a 10% off coupon and were told we couldn't because it was a "holiday." Since when is Father's Day a holiday? And why were we charged the dinner price for lunch?
Needless to say, even though the food is pretty good, we won't be going back there again. It's cheaper to go to a nice restaurant!
