If you want to be treated like you are a "somebody", this is the place to go, they give new meaning to the word "Service". Look up service in the dictionary and a picture of the mandarin, should appear, the food is not so bad either ;)

I have three boys, and the Mandarin is their favorite place to eat when they're visiting Barrie. The food may not be that authentic for the purists, but it's very good and there's lots of it and the wait staff is highly attentive (especially considering it's a buffet). Make a reservation, though~you can literally wait for hours on a busy weekend.
We've also tried their takeout, which is exceptionally good~fresh and delicious. -

Having lived in Barrie for a while when I was in school, one of my favourite things to do in the summer was order take-out from this location, and take it down to the waterfront. They've got a marina, so it's great to sit down there in summer and watch boats with a friend over food. Did this last week and the food is just as good!

I always go to the Mandarin when I'm home visiting my parents. The waitstaff is very attentive, and the food is actually quite good - the selection is overwhelming! Of course, any all-you-can-eat place encourages over-consumption, and the piles of food on some of the patrons' plates is mirrored by their waistlines...and rather a turn off. And, honestly, who wears wife-beaters out to dinner? This is not the restaurant's fault, I realise, but it forced me to knock a star off.
One other thing that amazed me: my parents (both seniors) and I took our 94-year-old friend out for lunch - and she was asked for ID to prove her age! The woman uses a walker, for Pete's sake! She found it amusing and slightly ridiculous.
Next time I'm home, though, I expect we'll go again! -

You can stuff your face with 50+ variety of faked Chinese dishes and blatantly non-Chinese food (shrimp salad, boiled mussels, etc). Lunch is around $13 while weeknight dinner's $19. The food's alright and being Chinese, I thought their pan-fried pork dumplings were the most authentic food I found. If I'm every back at the hotel next door with no car, I'll visit Mandarin again.
Specialties
It's time to get cracking! Once again, Mandarin is pleased to offer crab legs on our Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Holiday dinner buffet, while supplies last*. These succulent crab legs make a great addition to our award-winning all-you-can-eat buffet. For reservations, call or visit your favourite location.
