Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving 2026 in Mandarin

Mandarin's Thanksgiving 2026 list is short but varied. ChopHouse Thirteen on San Jose Boulevard is confirmed open with a holiday menu, Nagoya Sushi is open down the road, Chowrastha is open on Race Track Road, and Cooper's Hawk, which is open chainwide for Thanksgiving, has a location at Mandarin Landing. For more options, St. Johns Town Center is the closest cluster of open restaurants.

San Jose Boulevard has a restaurant at nearly every light. On Thanksgiving, you'll hit a lot of green lights.

Updated November 2026. "Confirmed for 2026" means the restaurant or a local tourism office has announced this year's plans. Where 2026 hours haven't been posted yet, we list last year's hours as a guide. Call before you go.
