text: I have eaten any many Asian buffets and most of them in the US and all of them for under Naturally I was shocked when I found out a restaurant like Madarin served bland mediocre and overpriced food at best I generally do not write reviews unless a restaurant has done very well or is revolting for the price nnThe plates were not clean as the dishwasher probably only cleans the top side of the plate The second plate I picked up had salmon skin on the bottom of the plate and the third plate had desert residue That was just ridiculous I cannot imagine what quality of food the patrons who flock this restaurant are used to but I highly recommend they drive south of the border and try some Chinese nnI saw a lot of people eat crab legs so I suppose that is one reason to visit this place The chicken dishes did not have a kick same with the beef The best items in my opinion was stuff at the salad bar egg foo young omelette and macaroon The fried tiger shrimp felt it was raw inside or easily breakable as raw shrimp is even though the outside was cooked perfectly nnThe bread pudding tasted like a cinnamon bun the creme brulee was quite something else fruits were not fresh The pineapple and melon were a tad sour nnFor the same price i HIGHLY recommend trying the classier spoon fork thai and japanese which is a few towns overs next to another mandarin chinese establishment Nothing I had there was not delicious nnFolk who claim this to be an upscale restaurant must be mad If you cannot figure out a better restaurant fasting for an evening or day is a much better for your nonexistent soul and body
