Founded on December 8, 1979, by James Chiu, George Chiu, K.C. Chang, and Diana Chiu, the business began as a small restaurant in Brampton, Ontario. The founders leveraged their extensive restaurant experience from Montreal and New York to build the brand, which expanded into a Chinese buffet concept in the 1980s. Mandarin has since grown to include 29 locations across Ontario. The company is known for its community involvement, having established the Mandarin Charitable Foundation and the Mandarin Scholarship Fund. They have also been recognized as a "Company of the Year" by Foodservice and Hospitality magazine and have received numerous consumer choice awards for their buffet. For families with children, the restaurant provides Mandarin Munchkins activity sheets that can be downloaded and printed at home.
