Additionally, the menu includes family dinners, combo platters, and a variety of take-out and delivery options. Founded on December 8, 1979, by James Chiu, George Chiu, K.C. Chang, and Diana Chiu, Mandarin began as a small restaurant in Brampton. The business expanded rapidly throughout the 1980s and 1990s, eventually establishing a corporate headquarters and a flagship restaurant. The company has a strong commitment to the community, having established the Mandarin Charitable Foundation and the Mandarin Scholarship Fund. It has also been recognized as a "Company of the Year" by Foodservice and Hospitality magazine and has received numerous consumer choice awards for its buffet. Customers can enjoy their meals through dine-in, take-out, or delivery services. The restaurant also provides online ordering and offers "Mandarin Munchkins" activity sheets for children to enjoy at home.
