There are a couple of them down here. I don't normally bother with all
you can eat buffets, especially the cheap Chinese buffets, but Mandarin
is pretty good. They have a wide range of dishes and decent quality.
They are constantly refreshing things.

The last time we went there was about two years ago when we met up with
the son and daughter in law of an old business associate of my wife's
father. They were visiting from Australia and had been on a serious of
cruises and trips back and forth across North America and had been on
the road for close to two months. We had never met them and had no idea
what they liked and decided on Mandarin because they have such a wide
range of foods... Chinese, Thai, Japanese, roast beef, salads, fruit and
much more. The wife was thrilled because they had so much fresh fruit
and vegetables, something she had not had much of throughout the trip.
