That's what Dake tried to be and failed. Maybe their location was ahead of its time now that the King and Victoria is booming. But their food, especially the sushi, was by far the best in the region. I miss it.

Have you ever tried to get into a Mandarin, any location but in particular the one in south Kitchener, at meal times?
If only the ex-Chen location at Bridgeport and Weber were large enough for a Mandarin it could be a better money maker than a printing press (or whatever the mint uses these days to crank out twenties.)
