If there was an award for the most busiest Kamloops restaurant at lunch time, this restaurant would definitely have to be nominated and most likely would win that award. Despite having gone through a name change (from Kirin Mandarin to Shanghai Mandarin) and recently an ownership change, the Shanghai Mandarin continues to serve up the right formula at lunch with their lunch buffet. If you show up at noon or shortly thereafter, you can expect to wait a few minutes before a table frees up. So why is this restaurant so popular? Hungry? Really really hungry? For just under $10 per person, you can eat to your heart’s content, buffet style. Their recipe for success is to serve the same dishes every day. Why change, when everybody keeps on coming back for it over and over again? So eat your heart out at this popular Chinese lunch buffet!!
They have quite an array of different choices but I don't do well with MSG and a lot of their stuff on the smorg is laden with it. It never used to be that way when the previous owners had it.
My roommates and I have been craving some good Chinese food so we decided to try this place. We phoned in this order for pickup and the woman who took the order was so nice! Also very helpful.
We went and picked it up and we were greeted warmly and the food was ready right away.
Now the most important part... the food was lovely! Will definitely go there again and try more.
I highly recommend...

Ordered in a selection of food. The food was hot when it arrived, the deep fried prawns were crispy as they should be!
Hello!
First the negative, then the positive.
Negative:
The few times I have eaten food inside the restaurant (not within the past year, so this may have changed), the service was standard, and the buffet was also standard - if not a bit old.
Positive:
We order take-out from here often, and it is SO good. They must make it...
