The Mandarin restaurant

The Preferred Meal Location: Restaurants

The preferred meal location for many people is always a restaurant. Either an individual or a group can eat. Particularly couples spend their free time hanging out in upscale restaurants. But one can also eat at home or in a restaurant. Restaurants make sure that the preferences and choices of the customers are honored, therefore there are characteristics that appeal to both parties. Which option would you think about? I prefer eating in restaurants to cooking at home. The services that various restaurants provide vary as well. Whether the customer is satisfied will determine this. One customer will feel satisfied by the kind of services offered by a given restaurant while another customer will not be satisfied by the same service. Well, if you’re looking for a restaurant to dine in, Mandarin is the place to be. Mandarin restaurant is located at 2206 Eglinton Avenue East Scarborough, ON M1L 4S7. The magnificent looking restaurant will for sure satisfy every individual’s desire. The quality of services offered is favorable for every individual, ranging from the meals available to the services by the waiters. Mandarin restaurant is, therefore, with no doubt, the best place that one should consider to dine in.

The Entrance and Interior Design of the Restaurant

The entrance of the restaurant is eye-catching, with full blooming colorful flowers in a small flowerbed just beside the entrance. A long, tree-lined path directly leads customers to the parking lot which is located at the back door of the restaurant. One entering the restaurant, one’s attention will be drawn by the many chandeliers that are hanging from the ceiling, which makes the hall shine brilliantly. The restaurant pillars, painted red are standing firmly inside the restaurant, with a golden dragon curved at the top of each, displaying a full characteristic of Chinese (Lee, Hallak, & Sardeshmukh, 2016). This is no doubt a Chinese restaurant because of the interior design that is a replica of the Chinese culture. There are four compartments where the guests are scattered, each with a unique décor. I was led to the seat at the first row of the maroon background room. All the foods are placed in the hall of the marble table. There are meals of different varieties ranging from salads, pancakes, Japanese sushi, side dishes, dessert and pastries, a hundred of other different dishes on the long table.

The Wide Variety of Meals

There is a big salad bar with many fresh veggies, fruits, and proteins to choose from. One is able to create his own salad in a flash. There are spicy salmon rolls, spicy tuna roll, B.B.Q. ell roll, Green dragon roll, Salmon avocado roll, Las Vegas roll, Fried asparagus roll and much more. Honey Garlic Spare Ribs and sour Peking style pork were my best. For a Chinese, the main meal is always Rice. Apart from the popularly common steamed rice, there is plain fried rice, chicken fried rice, vegetable fried rice and beef fried rice. I as a meatiest I preferred Honey Garlic Spare Ribs since it is the best dish that a meatiest can have. Sweet and sour Peking style pork, Kung Pao chicken and Black pepper steak are also among the best dishes that a meatiest could have as well while at Mandarin restaurant.

Impeccable Service and Attention to Detail

One cannot waste food in the restaurant. Suppose you have eaten to your satisfaction, the waiter evaluates the meal that remains on your plate, and if it is more than twenty percent of the food that u had served, the waiter will ask you to pay an extra amount. Any moment when a customer is close to finish his meal, the waiter will come over. This is an observation that I had made after dining in the restaurant after three visitations. The waiters are well skilled, and it is rare for simple avoidable mistakes to be made. One feature that really pleased me is that the lemon water is offered for free and when your glass is empty, you can ask the waiter for more as much as you want. A long line usually exists after six o’clock. Therefore I always prefer reservation. During the weekends, better cuts of beef and snow crab legs are offered for dinner. The most expensive time during the weekends in the evenings.

Perfect for Special Occasions

The Mandarin restaurant is also suitable for occasions such as birthday parties and wedding parties. One will have a whole compartment cleaned and decorated accordingly depending on the occasion. The waiters will clean the compartments and assist in the layout for the party. The restaurant has its own free public address system that is provided for free in case of events. In situations of weddings, one need not buy the wedding cakes from outside places since the restaurant also bakes cakes of different types (Han, Bonn, & Cho, 2016). The restaurant is so versatile it offers various kinds of services. I once saw a waiter hold a big cake heading to a compartment where a large audience was gathered. It might have been a wedding party or a birthday party. There were adults, children, and senior officials accompanied with gifts.

Takeout, Delivery, and Outdoor Events

However, no hope is lost for those who prefer to dine at home as the restaurant will be the best choice for you. During cold and frosty weather where individuals would want to spend most of the times in the house, the restaurant will provide services that will be a great deal to you. The restaurant has takeout and delivery services. Hence one will have the meal of his choice delivered on his doorstep. The restaurant also hosts outdoor events. For instance, if one wants to hold a party at home, one need not to worry since the restaurant got your back. The restaurant does offer party menu. If a party consists of 20 people, there is a menu that is best suitable for the group. For example, menu A will include forty pieces of golden fried chicken wings, twenty dinner rolls, twenty vegetable spring rolls, plain soft noodles, Beef with mixed Chinese vegetables, sweet and sour spareribs and honey twist. These wide ranges of dishes are suitable for those who are vegetarians and to those who are meatiest. These menus are also helpful to people who are not good at cooking. Another observation that I also made is that every meal offered in the restaurant has a significant amount of calorie accompanying it. Each meal has a corresponding calorie that customers can choose different food depending on their demands.

Diverse Cultures and Cuisine

The restaurant can also host outdoor wedding events. The restaurant also has a similarly long menu that can serve a significantly large population of over a hundred people. With their ability to cook almost all types of meals, and their transportation modes, they are therefore able to conduct any wedding ceremony when called upon.

Canada's Multicultural Food Scene

Canada is such a multicultural place. There is diversification of cultures ranging to Chinese to African. The Moral village which is located in 8333 Kennedy road is based on Chinese famous Cuisine brand. The bringing of new styles integrates into foreign cuisine elements which have aimed at creating a unique hot pot culture from its services, environment and products. In order to ensure the authentic taste of hot pot, the owner has insisted on selecting hotpot seasonings imported from Chongqing, which is the brand's origin. The Moral village operates seven days a week, and their stores serve lunch as from 11:30 am – 12pm. The restaurant has numerous parking spaces, though I have never found a parking space within the square. My first priority is always the underground parking space. The restaurant is well organized as it is easy to drive guests in and out of the parking.

Diversity of Cuisine at Mandarin Restaurant

The different types of foods available at Marandin restaurant show the diversity of cultures since there is food that is available for a variety of cultures. Despite the restaurant being a Chinese restaurant, different varieties of food are offered. There also exist meals that are best suited for the people living in Toronto. Despite the restaurant being located in Toronto, it is evident that it represents another culture since the outline of the restaurant; the dragon carvings clearly portray that the restaurant is of the Chinese origin. The availability of Marandin restaurant has enabled further diversification of the Chinese culture since we see the emergence of Morals Village which mainly specializes on hot pots.

Conclusion

Following the above illustrations, it suffices to conclude that Mandarin restaurant is no doubt the best restaurant that one can dine in. With the variety of dishes provided and the services offered, it has enabled people from different walk of the earth fulfil their desires, not only the Chinese alone.
