Mandarin Garden Buffet Restaurant

We visited here in June, with family and friends. Service was very quick, and the food was delicious.

Went to this restaurant for Take Out. Very friendly. It was very clear that by the number of people that came into the restaurant while we were waiting were repeat customers. The food was excellent. If you are looking for Chinese in Abbotsford - This would be the place to go.

I will start by saying the hot and sour soup was pretty good. Plus they serve some alcohol. Everything else I tried was very bland, actually tasted bad or was overcooked, too chewy, etc. Even simpler things like fried chicken was overdone, too crispy and very plain. I tried a lot and couldn't find anything I could enjoy. Other dishes I didn't want to try as they looked way too saucy, greasy or not at all authentic. At least this place was pretty cheap for lunch.

We showed up not long before the buffet closed at 8pm but found lots of choice. They offered to put out a special request dish. The flat noodles, the chili salted prawns, the sesame balls, the sweet and sour chicken, a couple nice dim sum choices, a bit of sushi and a pot of pickled ginger ... all good. Only weak item for me was the ginger beef. I've a friend who used to live around here but moved to the Okanagan. He likes the restaurant well enough that he's driven down just to eat there and meet up with the buddies.

Food was very good. Loved the ginger Beef. And the Kung Pao beef was very good. Connor was an excellent server. All in all, a great supper out.
