Not notable, advertising. I have speedied this before and it has been re-created with protestations from the author, so I concluded that a discussion at AFD may be the best way to handle this. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 19:50, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Prehaps alerting the user as to why the article deserves an AfD nomination would help as well? Tarheel95 (talk) 20:32, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Keep. It is as well known and as much of a household name in Ontario as P. F. Chang is in California. Owen× ☎ 23:37, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep. This restaurant chain has received a fair bit of news coverage, recently because of their buffet promotion mentioned in the article. 68.244.143.236 (talk) 06:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep company has received sufficient 3rd party coverage to meet notability requirements. Article does need to be improved however.--RadioFan (talk) 11:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Keep I saw this on the news yesterday. Buffet was free, cops needs for crowd control. People were turned away. Thewalrus69 (talk) 23:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Keep Added third-party publication on Mandarin from the Toronto Star. I enjoy eating there, but notability by third-party publications is more important than one's own opinion. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 01:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Added CTV News Toronto regarding crowd control. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 01:41, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
