    A very special thank you to Vessi for sponsoring this video. I had a chance to try Canada's most iconic buffet on a recent trip to Toronto. Feeling so good to be able to travel again and also to dine at the buffets. This is the Mandarin buffet which is probably to most famous and iconic buffet in the Greater Toronto Area. And as fantastic as the prime rib and all the selections were, the service and that fact that people are returning back to visiting their favorite eateries was what made it special. Whether you're touring or visiting the city or a local, I hope you give this a try!

    Vessi’s are my go to pair of sneakers! Whether walking in my city or exploring new places, they keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter; and most importantly, they keep you dry in the rainy Vancouver weather. They are also the sneakers I wear when traveling and exploring new cities, and so glad to see travel opening up again. Finally, no more wet socks at home or when traveling!

    It's good to see that the Mandarin Buffet survived the controlled demolition of small businesses during the pandemic. It has been years since I was at one, but they were always a major cut above the typical buffet in the city.
    As of November 2022, the regular dinner price Monday to Friday is $35.99 which is a good deal for that variety and quantity of food. By comparison the price pre-covid in 2019 (according to TripAdvisor) was $29.99. So, in other words in the three years the price has increased about 20% or 6.6% a year which is a VERY LOW increase in price when you consider that prices at our major supermarkets have increased on many items well over 100%! In other words, restaurants like they Mandarin provide PROOF POSITIVE that the major grocery chains in Canada (Loblaws, Metro, Sobey's) used Covid to RIP-OFF Canadians by massively jacking up their prices when their major competition - restaurants like the Mandarin - were completely shut-down so as to "prevent the spread of covid".
    The variety of food at the Mandarin is mindboggling. Too be honest I would have taken more than one run at the carving station for a juicy thick slice of prime rib with 2 or 3 Yorkshire puddings on the side smothered in gravy! I also would have loaded up on the chicken balls smothered in the sweet and sour sauce as well as the BBQ spareribs and fried chicken! Good choice to avoid the bread station that just fills you up! I was always surprised that the Mandarin didn't offer free refills on soft drinks since those gaseous drinks fill up belly and put a damper on appetite.
    If you are a senior citizen, you can get 20% off any time with valid photo ID (does Loblaws or Metro give you 20% off if you are 65 or older?).

    Thank you for sharing you experience the Mandarin Buffet in Toronto, the food looks so scrumptious! Hopefully I will get to go for a visit sometime soon. I also love the idea of waterproof Vessi, it sure is perfect for Vancouver weather. Always looking forward to your youtube videos! #Timleevessi

    Tim Here in Brazil, the diners are only allowed to touch the tongs or serving cutlery when they put on disposable thin plastic gloves and the servers MUST wear the gloves at all times. It does no good use the tongs if gloves are not worn by all. I noticed that you had the gloves on in all the scenes where I could see your hands. Good video. Thanks On a cuter side, I once saw a buffet that had a sign at the beginning of the buffet line that said” Due to the compulsive habit of girls and women that keep rolling their poney tails and hair constantly, we do not assume any responsability for hairs found in the food, because all of our employees wear hair nets. Just once correction though. When you put the jus on the prime rib, you said au jus. Au jus means a protein at the jus style or for example prime rib AU JUS when the jus is added to the protein. The jus by itself is just JUS. Bonjour du Brésil!
