Food was Fresh. Service and price were great. I would rather pay a dollar or two more per person and leave satisfied.

When in Cookeville I enjoy eating here. Clean, friendly, fresh food, always good. Have given up on the buffets in our town, nice to find a clean buffet restaurant.

We have eaten at the Mandarin Palace on several occasions. The food was amazing. They have a great selection of Asian food with good flavor. If you live in or travel to Cookeville, you need to visit Mandarin Palace. Kevin Wang and his family does an excellent job in having the food prepared and making sure your dining experience is...
