I've been here several times over the last year or so, and the quality of the food has dipped significantly. On my last visit, and it will be my last, few of my favorite dishes were on the line, and half the items I ended up selecting were cold - the line simply didn't provide enough heat, and I was in shortly after they opened.Too bad, this used to be a decent option for lunch!

Not sure on how i feel about this restaurant, it is bigger than I thought , they offer buffet from 12 to 3pm we got there around 5pm or so and was greeted right away and seated the place was empty not one other customer inside they did have a few take out orders but that was it So let's start with Crab Rangoon 8 out of 10 taste goods Fried pork wontons 7 out of 10 the wonton was nice and crispy and have a decent flavor. But did not go with the sauce that they gave you would work better with a garlic or teriyaki sauce insteadOrange chicken with fried rice and a egg roll 8.5 out of 10You can taste the orange zest on it ,nice and crispy chicken will eat it again .Boneless BBQ ribs with beef fried rice with extra egg and a egg roll 6 out of 10The rice was the saving factor in this dish the boneless ribs gave me a beef jerky taste and feel to it the bbq sauce was not it as well the eggs rolls was not bad Garlic beef with vegetables and fried rice 8 out of 10Had a great taste some snap peas, which we love added steam, broccoli but we got white rice instead of the fried rice but I did not make a big deal out of it ,tasted good so no complaints The service was great ,the restaurant looks good inside , must of the food was good not the best but still good I think I will give it another shot down the line but something just make me not want to go back but maybe I was just not having a great day or something you be the judge when you come and try for yourself, I think next time I'm going to try the duck

Updating my review because they are still going strong, and I would crown them as new champs of Americanized Chinese food in the area! If you got a better suggestion, I'd love to hear it. I do wish they would offer a dinner buffet, but the lunch is solid! The egg rolls are terrific, and even the soup noodles are being made fresh. I do wish they would offer some wonton soup, but they do occasionally offer different options. I've yet to have a bad bite here. I found out today from the owner that they are coming up on 30 years operating in Clemmons next month! That is an amazing accomplishment to say the least, and one that I will plan to celebrate by stuffing myself until I can't fit out the front door! After that, I will wait to get thinner by helping myself to another plate! The price is even a dollar less than Lin's kitchen and frankly for far better quality of food! The ambiance is better too, with some more typical buffet fare such as pictures to look at on the walls and some prototypical Chinese restaurant music playing softly overhead. I honestly can't even single out a dish that I'd say is the best here because they are all great!

I would rank this place a 3.5 if that was an option. This is our first time at a buffet since covid began and it feels somehow very naughty! They are taking precautions and have gloves available as well as masks. The food was all pretty good, not exceptional and not bad, pretty much as expected for Chinese buffet fare. It's a relatively small selection compared to other buffets but I didn't miss anything- all your usual staples are here. This is one of the only buffet options open these days and it was a fun experience to be back in one however it did seem that a good amount of the food had been sitting out and was not at its best. But if you have that buffet itch this can definitely give it a scratch!

We were in clemmons and I decided to give this place a try. We came in around 14:30, so not the best time to come to a buffet since the lunch crowd has left and they are winding down. The selection was was sparse, but they very kindly offered to cook anything I asked for. I felt the customer service was very professional and nice. I need to come back during lunch time and and try out the buffet when it is at it's tops. It's a little out of the way but way bigger than it looks on the outside. Seems like a good place to bring a group of friends and have a good dinner.

There's a fine line you have to walk if you want to be a tasty Chinese buffet. People like variety, but they also like food to be fresh. Most people come to buffets because they want a variety of tastes, but not so many that they could never try everything, or would even want to. I think Mandarin has found the perfect balance of these things... and on my first visit last week, I was treated to a really nice selection of chinese dishes without all the fluff of things like sub-par pizza, spaghetti, and all the other crap larger buffets plop down to claim they have more stuff than anyone.What I got was a nice chinese meal. A good variety of proteins were available, along with rice, noodles, all your favorite fried apps like egg rolls and rangoons, a couple soups, and then a light selection of sweets for dessert. All of it was fresh, and the price was very right.The highlight here was a spicy thai chili chicken. Think of a spicier and crispier version of General Tso chicken. The chunks are smaller, but have a firm shell texture and a little spice to go with the sweet. Also, the shrimp in their seafood dishes were a really good size, and jalapeno pepper beef was awesome.Definitely going to come back here. Don't let the outdated shopping center dissuade you, count on the experience of a place that has been around this long!

This restaurant has been one of my local favorites since it opened up. Once they added the buffet, I was truly hooked. I love all their food and everything has been fresh and quite delicious. They have turned me onto new foods that I have never tried before. I do very much miss the dinner buffet and wish they would bring it back. Food, service and high quality are what they are known for. Both my parents loved to accompany me there, and it was their favorite Asian restaurant as well!

Me and my husband have been coming to this location for 6 years now. I do recommend this place 100%. Their sweet-sour chicken is amazing with their sauce. I always love coming here.

Mediocre. Bland. Got the honey chicken and it was way overcooked. Actually I think it may have been reheated from the day before. With the higher prices you'd think it would be better quality. The crab Rangoon was nothing to write home about. I ordered and paid online. When I got there to pick it up the guy tried to make me pay again. He was nice otherwise. I had high hopes for this place but I guess I'll stick with PF Changs for the quality and taste.
