Mandarin at Boxgrove

There is a newly open Mandarin at Box Grove (Markham East). The food and services were better than lots of sit down restaurants. For those who are new to the Box Grove neighborhood, be sure to pre-visit the Medical Arts Center in the same plaza for the medical emergency center, dentists, physiotherapists, and etc. Address: 88 Copper Creek Dr (East of 9th Line & Box Grove Bypass and South of Hwy 407). Tel: 905-471-5000. (LP, we should do this more often!) It's Chinese food buffet, but the decor is Japanese. The food was really good. I liked the roast beef and deep fried scallops most. I can still remember once my friend thought deep fried scallops are made of real scallops. LOL! I don't have all soy sauce fry noodles, Shanghai noodles, Sing Chow fry noodles, and fried rice in a plate often :D. That was so satisfying!!! In addition to our favorite creme caramel and mango pudding, they also have a section for the traditional Chinese dessert, which is hard to find anywhere else. Don't forget to try out their lai -chee and green tea swirl ice-cream.

This is the most HORRIBLE restaurant for rude managers and hostesses (Sat. Sept. 17 2011 Dinner). They do not honour your reservations and IGNORE you. The food is not that great with very
CHEAP ingredients. After waiting an hour and a half to be poisoned,
you should be ashamed of yourself for eating there. SHAME ON YOU!

We have been going to Boxgrove Mandarin since it opened up in our neighborhood a few years back. We love the service and the food is fresh and delicious, especially the creme brulee for dessert. Just this Sunday, we went again with another family. Once we got home, my daughter and my tummy starts to hurt. My husband had diarrhea and very serious vomitting for over an hour. The next day, i asked my friend how they felt and they said that their family of three did not feel well as well after the dinner at Mandarin.
Though we don't know if it is food poisoning or not, but i don't think it is a coincident that all 6 of us were sick after the dinner at Mandarin.
I hope that this is a one time thing as we have enjoyed dinner at Mandarin at this location many times in the past.
