It was our first time visiting here tonight. My partner and I had a wonderful evening. The food is amazing, so tasty, and there’s so much to choose from, including a live cooking section. There was also a good selection of food for children too. I noticed that there were fish fingers and chicken nuggets amongst other items. The desserts, there was a wide selection to choose from and they were also very tasty. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and always ready to help. The restaurant itself was very clean and tidy. Because of this it’s no wonder it was so busy. We shall definitely be returning. Thank you for such a wonderful evening.

We had a lovely time at Mandarin buffet, the food was nice and the staff were so nice. Lovely birthday surprises as well.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at your Mandarin buffet restaurant, and I must say it was a delightful experience! The food was not only nice but also incredibly delicious. I was impressed by the wide variety of dishes available, catering to all tastes and preferences. Each dish was well-prepared and full of flavor, making it hard to choose just one favorite! The ambiance was inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning to enjoy more of your fantastic offerings. Keep up the great work!

Went to the Mandarin Buffet in Northampton for my birthday meal. The experience was very pleasant. The food was fresh, refilled immediately. The choice of dishes was sufficient and really let us experience variations of amazing Mandarin flavours. The only thing needed improvements would be desserts, which I personally found bit dry and lack of flavour. The cotton candy machine is definitely childrens favourite. The staff was very polite, quick to clean the empty dishes, very helpful. Atmosphere and design inside was very alluring and beautiful. I would definitely be coming back and recommend this amazing buffet to my friends and family.

The Mandarin buffet was even better than I expected! The food was delicious and never ending, or so it seemed. The service, was prompt, friendly and helpful. The venue was enormous to the point where the free (2-hour ONLY) parking was a bit of an issue, however there is free parking also on the grass verge outside of the complex. Sally the Assistance Hound was accepted without issue. As much as you can eat for 21 and it was worth every penny we paid. 6 of us ate there and we had no complaints. In addition to the buffet (with a massive selection of dishes) there was a pick-your-own-fresh-ingredients-&-we-will-cook-it-for-you section, and also a make-your-own-candy-floss machine, (with quite a queue though)! There must have been 17 or 18 individual renditions of the song "Happy Birthday"; strewth but there were loads of birthdays there today, including my youngest daughter's celebration too! All in, I would vote highly recommended.

Really friendly clean and amazing selection of food. Staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Great place for families. 10/10

I recently visited the Mandarin Buffet, and it was an overall satisfying experience. The variety of dishes offered was impressive, ranging from chicken,pork, lamd and dumplings to sushi, seafood, and even some Western options like pizza and pasta. The buffet had something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for something hearty or light. The quality of the food was generally good. The dessert section was full of sweet treats, with options like cakes, fruit and pastries. The strict 2 hour window might be an issue if you are travelling from far and reach late.

The food provided by this restaurant was fresh and ready with even an option for them to prepare additional meals based on fresh ingredients that they had on display. The waiters were always around and responded promptly with your order. Be sure to make a booking before you arrive since walk ins are not accepted due to obvious demand reasons.
