Mandarin House

The food was a bit cold but its a buffet not complaining. Paid $54 for 2 people a bit pricey just for valentines day. The food was mid, the crab rangoon I grabbed was literally room temperature, the pork dumplings were really good but also room temperature. Sushi was good but then again, I dont really eat sushi but the one i did grab was good i think it had crab in it. The bathroom was very clean yet one of the stalls looked like the toilet was clogged. Anyways i think its a good place to go to with friends and family if you arent too worried about the taste of the food. I tried the salad and immediately spit it out lol i think the ranch was bad

I love a good buffet but i wasn't impressed because the food wasn't seasoned good. The best thing i ate was the pizzza. The lemonade was watery and there was no traditional waiter that came and check on us on the regular. The place looks up to par but nothing spectacular. There were no good deserts all the cakes texture felt like hard bread.They have a lot of variety so will definitely get full of u find something you like.

The quality of the food was not that great. I've had better buffets in New Orleans. I understand why some people like to eat here though.

food is good and very selective. price is highest around. found a better buffet at affordable prices

The best food ever and great prices! The peppers are the sweetest and clean as well as fast service

This place is now just a mediocre Chinese buffet, with some seafood options and sushi. Compared to pre-pandemic, it's gotten more expensive and have less choices. They have steak, but it's not tender; they have raw oysters, but it's limited and usually not stocked for the duration of your whole meal; they have crawfish, but they are not properly cleaned and sometimes very salty. Glad this place survived the pandemic, but definitely no longer our go-to place any more.

We had not been to Mandarin House in several years. We visited the buffet recently and we were very pleasantly surprised. This is a buffet, so I choose to compare it to the other Chinese buffets in the area.This buffet is far superior to the Chinese buffets in Kenner or Harahan. The selection of food is much wider. There was plenty of seafood to choose from (crabs, clams, several shrimp dishes, crawfish, salmon, etc.). The quality of the food is, for the most part, better than other buffets. The exception is the sushi which was good, but could be improved in selection. The cleanliness of this buffet is head and shoulders above the others.Our server never stopped working tables and cleaning the entire area.If you are looking for a Chinese buffet, we find Mandarin house the best choice in the local area.

best buffet in town to me! Price rising but well worth the increase because of the food selection is awesome!

They've cleaned out all the boxes, but the food is god AWFUL!! No hot chinese mustard, unless you count the little "to go" packets. The meats were over cooked so hard that they couldn't be chewed. The food was cold. The quality was disgusting.

Bring a can of Professional disinfectant spray with you. The Louisiana Board of Health should be alerted and thouroughly inspect this restaurant ASAP (NOW), Mandarin House, located on 3501 Severn Ave, Metairie, LA 70002.When you walk in, you first notice as you look down how filthy and disgusting the carpet looks. As if it was embroidered or embedded onto the floor for the last 20 years. You can feel the musty smell encroach on your clothes like roaches.MANDARIN METAIRIE LLC 3501 SEVERN AVE. SUITE A5 METAIRIE, LA 70002, the registered owner, ignores or doesn't care what anyone thinks of this unclean restaurant. They are more interested in profit making than providing a top quality food and experience, charging or better yet, extorting, $22 for it.The quality of food served or cooked today was abismal at best. It has been for quite sometime. Half of the entire hot food buffet selection was at room temperature or cold. One of the employees was fixing what it looked like a temperature problem under the buffet line. The sautéed boiled shrimp with vegetables was way salty. The green beans were salty and cold. The mandarin chicken was not its usual brown color, and it was salty and too sweet. The peppered beef did not taste like beef. Its textured and flavor was masqueraded with sugar. The white rice was too wet. If we are obligated and/or be pick pocketed out of $22 dollars before we sit down and eat, then we should be receiving well-cooked and prepared food at this location.Inside it looks like they put aside their mess and hide it behind curtains. The sushi bar seemed disorganized. I would hate to walk back into the kitchen and find food on the floor not swept, roaches, flys, the bathroom unclean, and employees coughing or sneezing all around inside the kitchen not wearing a mask or covering their mouths, nor washing their hands properly throughout their shift. To make matters worst, an employee coughed next to my plate of food as I was serving myself. Luckily, I turned my plate to the other side and then saw her cover her face with a mask that was not properly worn. It was hot inside and the AC was on for at least 3 minutes. There were patrons/clients whose children had a wet and heavy cough allowing their child to approach the buffet line, as small as they are, and cough on top of the uncovered food.This restaurant should not allow minors or children serve their own food. There should be a rule that the parents must serve them. At least the food being shielded with top covers from tall people would be protected from infections. Bacteria, and or viruses is being allowed by the owner to linger inside through out the day. Employees should be required to wear gloves and masks and wash their hands. There should be anti-bacterial soap in the bathrooms at all times. No cleaning apparatus should be stored inside the bathrooms. This may sound out of the norm, but this is the lowest this restaurant has ever been observed. Whoever the owner is, he/she doesn't care about the food quality or the quality over altogether.I will not spend another dollar, nor will I visit unless an official report is published indicating that it is safe to enter and eat and have a healthy experience. I do not recommend it to anyone anymore.Eat at your own risk. If I could review this restaurant without having to give it at least one star, I would. But this one star was not well earned.
