After more than 35 years of serving the community, Mandarin’s buffet-style restaurant in Midtown Toronto is set to close. The popular location at Yonge and Eglinton will cease operations on January 18, 2024. This closure marks the end of an era for the restaurant, which opened its doors in 1991.
Reasons for Closure
The decision to close is linked to ongoing redevelopment in the area and the expiration of the restaurant’s lease. Mandarin has expressed pride in its long-standing service and commitment to providing a welcoming dining experience.
Community Impact
Mandarin Yonge has played a significant role in local celebrations and family gatherings. The management stated that the restaurant will be fondly remembered by many patrons. They thanked the community for their years of support.
Future Developments
- Closure Date: January 18, 2024
- Original Opening: 1991
- Location: Yonge and Eglinton, adjacent to Eglinton Station

As of now, there is no confirmation regarding a new location in Midtown or the future of the staff working at this site. The Yonge and Eglinton area has seen substantial changes over the years, including significant condo developments and ongoing construction works related to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.
Mandarin will continue providing a full range of services until their final day of operation. Diners can make reservations until that date and enjoy the last dining experiences at this beloved restaurant.
