Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

The self serve bar always offers a wide variety of fresh, delicious food that can satisfy even those with the biggest appetites. And for a unique & wonderful dining experience, order off any of several specialty menus including sushi, Thai, Chinese & Korean delights! They even accept special requests in advance! This restaurant serves GREAT home-cooked style meals! I love it!!!!

My daughters and I love the buffet. Wide selection available and they add new items periodically. Our top 12 include the hot and sour soup, sesame chicken. Chicken curry, beef and broccoli, meatballs, mushrooms, general Tso chicken, almond chicken, fried shrimp, teriyaki chicken, Mongolian beef and Chinese donuts. Better to go at lunch or on busier night or for Sunday brunch when food is fresh. Ordering off the menu is an option as your will get large portions which make for plenty of leftovers. We have not tried the sushi bar.

Their cheap $7.95 buffet is not good. Stick to the entrees on the menu because all of that is surprisingly decent despite being a Chinese-Japanese-Korean-Thai fusion restaurant. On this visit, I was really craving noodle soup and this is the only Chinese place I knew that served noodle soup and everything was complete. The noodle soup broth was really good and they were generous on the amount of seafood. On other visits, I ordered tuna roll and chow fun, which were amazing for what you had available in Auburn. The manager here is actually very friendly and loves to start a conversation. The inside atmosphere was pleasant. The first thing you see is a black-stoned waterfall. The buffet is to the right but there's seating area on both ends. This place is really crowded at lunch time on the weekends. My friend and I got lucky with the seats so be sure to arrive earlier to make sure you aren't waiting around.

Very cheap, Americanized Chinese buffet. Typical orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, General Tso, etc. Also some mediocre sushi rolls. Go for lunch and it is even cheaper. They also have more authentic Chinese and Korean if you want it, you just need to ask for it.

This restaurant has a menu side and a buffet side. I ate from the buffet. Got to the restaurant at 6:30pm. I expected the restaurant to be crowded so the buffet food would be fresh. The restaurant was empty and the food on the buffet had been sitting a while. The food was very oily. The ravioli and fish sticks on the buffet should have been an indication of the marginal (at best) food. To be fair, I will go to and order from the menu side of this restaurant when I visit this restaurant again but I will not be back for the buffet.

When giving this place 4 stars, I am ranking it taking into account the $7.95 price tag for their buffet. And for $7.95, this is the nicest (and best tasting) Chinese buffet in Auburn. Although I don't live in Alabama anymore, I frequently dream of Mandarin House with their delicious sesame chicken and fabulous green beans..... Soooo GOOD! I make it a point to eat here everytime I visit family, and to this day I have not found a better Chinese spot as good ole Mandarin House. Thank God I discovered Pei Wei in Texas or else I may have lost my mind already!

The food was good and there were plenty of options on the buffet. They had two sushi offerings on the buffet which were fresh and a positive!

I cant believe anyone gave this disgusting place more than one star. I know that most of the chinese food in this state is repulsive, but this place truly crosses the line into inedible. I'm not sure the FDA would approve of most of the "food" served here.

Was quite impressed by the buffet. The items looked and tasted fresh and there was a nice selection of dishes. They had a couple sushi items and the sushi rice was perfect. The buffet area was also kept nice and clean. I went back and ordered off the sushi menu, but was not terribly impressed. The qualify of the fish was so-so and questionable on some of the rolls. I'd probably stick to the buffet.
(4)Kristin C.
The buffet is so-so, but the thai restaurant is awesome! The sushi is some of the better sushi in town (though that doesn't say much). If they were just a chinese/thai restaurant, I'd give them five stars; best (chinese) curry in town.

Ok, the cheesy neon sign says "We Open for X-Mas and New Year," but don't be fooled. The Mandarin shines for their Korean-Chinese cooking. Mrs. Wang, who runs the front of the house, and Mr. Wang, who is the head chef, lived in Korea for several years. Their experience shows with a separate Korean menu highlighting well-executed favorites such as chjampong noodle soup, chjah-jiang myun, kang pongyi chicken wings, yang jiang pi japchae, yu san suhl, and hye sam tang. Seriously, ask for the Korean menu and then ask the waiter to explain the stuff to you if you want to be amazed. I'm guessing that the Kia people have not yet discovered this gem, since they haven't opened a second location. Mmmm...

I love Chinese food but this was terrible. The food on the buffet was dried out and they keep bring more of the same. Very small selection of food. Heck the soup had a ring around the pot. This establishment was run by very young men. Need new management. I will not eat here again.
(1)Foster W.
As always an awesome meal. The night my wife and I stopped by was a Very busy night. Even with that the service was good and our meals as well. I will always come back.
(5)Jagdish P.
This place is terrible. The food on the buffet was not good, no taste, very small selection of foods. I will not go there again
(1)John L.
Found some items quite good, others not at all. Soups did not excite me, ribs did. Did not try Thai & other cuisines but would probably opt to go elsewhere - like a fully Thai joint - for those. Would only go * * for the buffet - seems tired and in need of some new ideas.

Best chineese buffet place I have ever been to and ate at. First they have multiple menus other than chineese buffet. They have the korean, thai and chineese menu. So I recommend ordering an entree over the buffet anytime. The cook is extremely talented and can even make some things off menu pending your request. This is a place where knowing what you are eating pays off. As for the buffet... its "Americanized" only because that's obviously what people eat. Want something not americanized then order off the menu. You want the buffet to be good? Get there when it opens for lunch or dinner. Thats the best time for a buffet at this place and I would even say any place. So again... best Chinese buffet place I have found on the east coast and know what you are ordering.

Your usual "better" Chinese buffet (and by "better" I mean other flavors present in the meal other than sugar), but I would always argue for ordering from the menu in a Chinese restaurant as opposed to filling up on the same ol' same ol'. And Mandarin House has a very good menu--one of my dining companions ordered a penang curry dish and was quite impressed, which is a good thing because she's a bit picky. I went with the Crispy Duck, which came out hella crispy--almost black!--and beautifully presented with constrasting white leeks and a lovely orchid. You know you ordered the right thing when the waitstaff takes the time to compliment you for getting it. Atmosphere is pleasant, with a stone koi fountain in the lobby and artistic counter-top basin-style sinks in the restrooms. The local in our dinner party made a point of comparing this place to Cheng Du, which she said "smelled like ... something she didn't want to mention over dinner." We didn't notice the dark, lush dining room/sushi bar area until we were getting ready to leave, which of course made us all wonder what we had missed. Oh, well. We'll find out the next time we visit. Bonus points for having one of the most attentive and in-tune serving staffs I've come across in a buffet restaurant.

2nd review here. A friend of mine turned me on to the Tom Yum soup. You gotta try it.
(4)Teryl V.
I love their buffet. I am a pretty picky eater so when given a menu I usually stick to just 1 thing I know I like. Their buffet has about 4 different kinds of chicken and great broccoli beef. The service is great too, even if you get the buffet they have someone bring/refill your drinks and they are good about asking you if you want a refill as soon as your drink starts to get low.

Last time there the food was not that good and freshness questionable. Won't be going back.

after moving back to auburn after graduating from auburn university 18 years ago, the place has gone some major innovation. to me, the outside looks the same but the inside looks nice at least where they serve thai and japanese cuisine. the food is very good. the buffet is better than the most chinese buffet (i don't usually like any buffet food but this place is good). i have tried many dishes besides the buffet and they are desent. coming from san francisco, i can't compare their food to places in san fran but i think for this area (auburn-opelika) this place is best we have.
