“ We came here for my sibling’s birthday, and everything was perfect!! I loved the food, I loved the atmosphere and the music wasn’t that loud. I do recommend reserving a table since we did walk out and see the massive line up. Our waiter of the day, Noel, was very kind to us and came to check on to refill our waters constantly, he was very nice aswell. Overall a 10/10 experience ”
“ I received excellent service from the meals and the servers Naomi and Ha, they are such a delight and very professional in their service. My partner and I had a good time and we will definitely be revisiting soon. ”
“ Absolutely Outstanding Service! I had the pleasure of being served by one of the best servers I’ve ever encountered at Mandarin Bishop. From the moment we were seated, the server was incredibly attentive, kind, and professional. They greeted us with a warm smile, made excellent recommendations, and ensured our drinks and plates were never empty. What really stood out was how they balanced being efficient and personable — it felt like they genuinely cared that we had a great experience. They even went above and beyond to accommodate special dietary needs at our table without hesitation. The restaurant was busy, but our server handled everything so smoothly and with such a calm and friendly attitude — you could tell they were experienced and truly loved what they do. If every restaurant had service like this, dining out would be a dream every time. Mandarin is lucky to have them on staff. I’ll definitely be coming back — and I’ll be asking to sit in their section again. Highly recommend both the food and especially the service! ”
“ We had a great time at this restaurant, food was fresh and delicious, the staff was so nice, especially Mike helping us was polite and professional:)Thank you ”
“ The food was fresh and always refreshed at today’s dinner service. I have been to other mandarins but I was very impressed to find that they allow self grab sashimi so that was a huge plus! Today we were served by Simon and Helen! Both provided amazing fantastic service and were very quick and attentive to not only clearing our tables, but filling our drinks as well! This provided an amazing experience for us at Mandarin and we will be back ”
“ We have a blast celebrating my husband’s first birthday here in Canada together with our family. Biraj (assigned server) shows a superb customer service by providing us a wonderful dining experience. We’re definitely come back again. Thank you for taking picture of us for this special occasion. ”
“ Exceptional Service by Leslie at Mandarin Restaurant. We had an incredible dining experience at Mandarin, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Leslie. From the moment we were seated, Leslie greeted us with a warm smile and genuine hospitality that made us feel truly welcomed. Her attentiveness was next-level, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask, ensured our drinks were always full, and checked in regularly without ever being intrusive. What really stood out was her kindness and professionalism. She took the time to explain menu options, made fantastic recommendations, and treated every guest at my table like a VIP. Even during a busy dinner rush, Leslie remained calm, friendly, and on top of everything. It’s rare to come across someone who blends efficiency, warmth, and charm so seamlessly. Leslie elevated our experience and left a lasting impression on all of us. ”
