    Went for the 5pm opening for dinner. There were a few people waiting already. Once open, the admitting people in was a bit unorganized. On being seated, we were given a ticket for the lobster tail, 1 oyster and a piece of durian. We were also told of the 1hr and 45 mins time limit, which they do let you know time is up in 10mins. Service was very attentive with the serving staff continuously clearing the dirty dishes or getting any requests. The food quality is just OK. The dessert options were lacking. Just a lot of mousse cakes of the same flavour. No standard buffet dessert like tofu fah, waffle or crème caramel. Within 1/2 hour of leaving the restaurant, let's just say, my body was rejecting the food all night. Had to take a tablet to help stop it. I called them to inform than there was concern with their food and they didn't seem too concerned.

    So glad this spot has gotten even better! Asian Dragon Buffet is a tasty and spacious buffet with an assortment of seafood to go with traditional Chinese food and surprisingly good quality sushi plus loads of fruits & desserts! We were pleasantly surprised the first time and happier the second time. Decor is decent and service acceptable. We've now come here for both weekday and weekend dinner after 5pm which included lobster and sautéed oyster (one per adult) on occasion. These were relatively tender the second time around, and we were served an abalone too for the holiday festivities. The popular offerings included snow crab legs, whelk, decent crawfish, blue crab and more seafood. I also tried the typical Chinese BBQ pork & ribs , lamb skewers, noodles, dim sum, Szechuan fish, and Peking duck. I especially enjoyed the sushi station which was constantly pumping out good quality sushi rolls & nigiri plus thick cuts of salmon, thin octopus slices plus more sashimi. That along with a good selection of fruits and desserts totally won us over. They even had a portion of durian for those who ventured to try. Despite buffet dinner being $54.99 per adult, this was worth it. Skip it or hit it? This has become our pick for buffet thanks to the quality of the food. Even the fruits were particularly sweet including their melons and grapes. Each table even left with a box of fruit on the occasions we visited which was a nice added bonus touch.

    This restaurant is enormous in size and I would say puts the Mandarin to shame. I see the reviews are very hit or miss. People saying the food lacked flavor. Everything I tried tasted great. I did go right at open and stuck to mainly sea food and dim sum dishes. I brought a girl friend with me and she was so impressed. Where else can you have sushi, dim sum, , crab legs, Peking duck and so many good options all in one ?! I tried: Dim Sum Torched Sushi, Maki & Sashimi Crabs & Conch DIY Ramen Station Shrimps Tempanyaki , Skewers Beef Peking Duck Desserts Durian 1 Serving per Person Lobster 1/2 per Person Baked Oyster 1 per Person There's literally something for Everyone at this buffet. The sushi and sashimi were so incredibly fresh. So much selection. The crab legs were plentiful and the Peking Duck was absolute perfection. The only dish I personally did not enjoy was the giant baked Oyster. Not for me. I like them raw Mary was an AMAZING hostess! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. I've been recommending this spot to everyone

    Huge selection of wide ranging options, good quality food, good ambiance, good service. The restaurant is quite big, buffet counters are nicely spread across the restaurant with adequate spaces to move around. Booth seating with clean well maintained cubicles. They offer half lobster (not too small, ~200-220gm per half), and one decent sized oyster per person on weekends. Buffet options are spread across Chinese to fusion, offering ~100+ choices of well prepared good quality items. It's a very busy restaurant, waiting time can be long. Parking is convenient in the plaza's large parking lot

    100% highly recommended. There are many many different items here compared to Dragon Pearl and Asian Legend buffets: crabs, lobsters, lots of seafoods (during lunch hours too!) lots of dim sum options. There's a freezer with ice cream you can scoop and ice cream bars! Sashimi is self served and not served to you at 3 pcs a time by someone else. Since we're here today they gave each guest a mooncake to take home. Huge space quick service.

    Lots of options to choose from. They have seafood, meat, sushi, skewers, dim sum, desserts, and many more. The food was okay and service was good as well. They even have private rooms and I like how the seats and tables are very spacious.

    Located in the south west corner of Bridlewood Mall. There is a huge parking lot attached. The restaurant is very spacious with an assortment of booths and tables. Saw a few VIP rooms for those special occasions with a private enclosure The decor is very simple and not sure what the theme is. In the centre of the restaurant is the food stations. Salads, dessert, hot dishes and sushi station. In the back is the BBQ/ Peking duck and grill stations. The food is a very confused assortment of very traditional Chinese to some very fusions dishes that have an identity crisis. The flavouring is very bland and lacks freshness. The lobster, oyster, shrimp and grilled meats did not have any sweetness from the product and I found the lobster and shrimp to be mushy but no smell. The waitstaff is very prompt and almost too prompt that they take all your tableware away when you are not remotely finished. They do push you to get drinks (not tea/ water) The restaurant does not have a Liquor licence so do not expect any beer/ wine/ cocktails to wash the food down with. For the price point, I would rather goto the other similarly priced restaurant down the street with a more unique ambiance and food variety that is fresher to the taste buds.

    Finally went here to try out the buffet. It is next to the Chinese supermarket at Bridlewood mall. There are plenty of parking spots. Ambiance - 4/5: the place was spacious. The washrooms were clean with multiple stalls. There is a diasbility washroom Service - 2.5/5: we were seated quickly. As it was cold, we asked for hot water. Tea would be extra cost as with pop. We had to ask for our water to be refilled a few times. I stayed away from the sushi bar. There weren't a lot of customers going to the counter. The person behind the counter rubbed his nose, then wiped counters before attending to more food. Food - 3/5: They filled the foods up at the buffer quite frequently, although there isn't a large selection. The food was decent, slightly saltier for my taste. Price: Lunch - $25 (adults), $22 (seniors) Monday to Friday Overall - 3/5, most likely a one time experience.

    I went for lunch to the recently opened Asian Dragon Buffet, located in Scarborough's Bridlewood Mall. It's located in the south end of the mall, upper level, in a space that used to be KMart, a discount department store. Did I just give away my age? I worked in this mall many years ago, managing a camera store. With seniors in our small group, we were seated right next to the buffet stations. It was conveniently close but inconvenient to get in and out of the booth. A regular table with chairs would have been better for us. We also got there soon after opening and the wait time at each station was a bit longer than anticipated. The restaurant is very attractively decorated and spacious. The buffet stations are huge, with lots of choices, including soups, salad, congee, sushi, grilled foods, hot items, and more. Everything looked good. The dinner menu also includes additional choices, like Peking duck and lobster. I explored all the food stations before starting with my usual soup and salad. There were three choices of soup and a surprisingly small choice of salad items quite a distance away. That was fine since there were so many other choices of food. I tried to taste a little bit of everything but there were too many choices to do that. They had all the popular dishes, plus a few that I haven't seen at other buffet places. Overall, everything I tasted was good to pretty good, although there were no standout favourites. With lots of choices, good quality food, nice ambiance, good service, and good prices, including discounts for seniors and for paying cash, this was a really good value. It worked out to roughly $26/person, including tax and tip. I'll be back.

    For $25, I shouldn't be expecting much, but the food was below average. Very limited options and food was lukewarm. The dessert bar was sad. Very dry cakes to choose from. Ice cream was good because it was factory made. The buffet seemed spacious, but the seating arrangement felt like I was sitting with the food rather than inside a dining room. Service was below average as well. Our server rarely made eye contact with us. He seemed like he didn't want to be there. For a few extra dollars, I would go to Mandarin instead!

    Out of all the buffets I've been to, I can definitely say this is by far the best one. They were doing a lunch special for AYCE. Pricing was not bad at all. They have a wide selection of food to choose from. If you share a post on social media, you get a free mango drink and it's per person not per table. It was my first time seeing Asian snacks available at a buffet. They have shrimp crackers, lychee jelly cups,, candies and chips. Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a good AYCE buffet.

We were sat in the 'C' dining area area. There were room upon room so there's plenty of seating. Each room with a slightly different theme. Ours had a wall of beautiful fish tanks. The dining area, food stations and bathrooms were all very clean, which is so important at a buffet. They even have gloves at the end of each station in case you didn't want to touch the serving utensils with your bare hands. The variety of food goes from everything you can imagine at a Chinese buffet like sushi and fried rice to American options like burgers and fries, to surprises in-between like New England clam chowder and prime rib. Tons of dessert- hard ice cream, cakes, pies, fruit, jello, even Crème brûlée and waffles. One of my favorite surprises was the variety of mocktails. Most places offer me pop as a mocktail or a Shirley Temple at best. Decent pricing. Father's Day special dinner menu was $50/pp (Canadian) about $36/pp (American) which is pretty great for all you get and that's WITH their high tax. I believe the refular pricing is about $10/pp less. A must try only 30 minutes from Western NY.

Upon entering the restaurant I was greeted to a very clean and modern ambience that reminded me kind of like some of the big buffets in Las Vegas. Very cool setup where they have 3 self serve fountain drinks which is included in your buffet price. In the middle they have a grilling area where they are grilling Basa fish, salmon, chicken, sirloin steak. The steak was amazing they put this butter, garlic garnish on top that makes it so delicious. I had 8 of these steaks this evening! They also had a stir fry, soup noodle where you can choose your own ingredients, different vegetables and protein and carbs for them to either turn into a stir fry or soup noodle.

The sushi rice was overcooked, and the sushi kept falling apart every time I tried to pick it up. The food prepared at the live cooking station was very watery, and the salmon was dry and lacked flavor. The customer service also did not meet my expectations, which made the overall experience even more disappointing. The chef's cooking felt rushed and, in my opinion, lacked the care and attention I usually hope for when dining out. Even the dessert was a letdown. My 9-year-old commented that the ice cream toppings were disappointing, which was surprising considering how simple that part of the meal should be. To make things even more heartbreaking, this was my birthday. I wasn't expecting a big celebration or for the staff to sing to me, but I had hoped for a small gesture, a simple slice of cake with a candle or even just a sincere "Happy Birthday" from the waitress or a manager. I understand restaurants aren't obligated to do this, but a little hospitality on a special occasion can leave a lasting positive impression. Instead, I left feeling disappointed. I traveled all the way from Scarborough to celebrate here, and unfortunately, it will be my last visit. Positive: Unlimited lemonade Great ice machine. Pizza was "all right"

There are thousands of possible combinations. It can get busy and you may have to wait 8-10 minutes for your food to taken and cooked. I don't care for their technique for cooking. Because they have divided the grill into 12 zones, they don't really "stir fry" you food. The flavors don't really mix well together. They need to toss the food a bit more so the flavors and spices mix. There is a little salad bar with lettuce, cucumbers, potato salad. macaroni salad pickled beets and a few more items.

I enjoyed reading about the daredevils who went over the falls and the history of the city. Megan and Mary were a fantastic service team. They kept our water glasses full, took away plates as we finished each course - salad, the main course and dessert - and even took our photo. Everything was delicious! When I mentioned it was my birthday, they insisted I take home a birthday cake. They also asked Douglas, the piano man, to play the HAPPY BIRTHDAY song for me.

And I've had them all in my 55 years of cheesecake buying, trying and making them from scratch. I stuffed myself eating it. It was SO good. We're not sure when we'll be back. This was a bucket list item for me, and I loved every minute of it. But when we do come back, we're eating at the Skylon AND I'm having the cheesecake FIRST! After all, life is short. Eat dessert first.

    The base of the Skylon Tower desperately needs an update. It opened in 1965 and it shows: a few…read moreclosed fronts, 2 souvenir shops, a Starbucks, and ticket/photo counter. The elevator is quick, and I would recommend elevator 3 to see the view of Niagara Falls Restaurant: seating is more comfortable for a party of 4. There very few tables that can accommodate 5-6 adults. We had a booth for 5 and my knees were ready to leave after nearly 2 hours of dining. Food: it was okay for the price. The 8 oz. filet was cooked as I requested and the veggies were fine. Salmon was undercooked as my fellow diner prefers a more fully cooked through filet. Caesar salad lacked flavor as the dressing was bland. Meatballs were dry. Skip the desserts, they're nothing special. If you've had Michelin meals, this is a pretty dinner for mediocre food. Note: there is a MINIMUM $52 CAD per person and each diner is REQUIRED to purchase an entree OR 3 salad/soup/appetizer combo. Views: we had a 6:30 seating and the falls are as beautiful as one might expect. The rotation is slow enough not to feel it, but after dining for nearly 2 hours we made 1.5 roations. Service: the waitstaff were friendly, prompt, and helpful with local tips for places to see and do.

    We had come here on a Saturday at around 7:00 pm for the Italian Buffet Special, which was being…read moreadvertised as $12.95 a person. When we had first arrived, we were told that it would be a two-hour wait, and that we would need to have a pager with us at all times that would be used to notify us once a table was ready. We weren't able to get a pager immediately as they were all being used therefore, we had to wait at least fifteen minutes before we were able to get one. Once we had that pager in hand, we waited about one hour for our table, which was actually not as long as we had expected. Upon entering the restaurant via an escalator from the first floor, we were pleased to see how picturesque it was. With the large windows showcasing the horse racing at the time, along with the tables that boasted their own private television screens, we were impressed with how wonderful and inviting everything looked. Upon being seated, we were given programs on the betting available for the evening's races, which was detailed with everything we needed to know. We also noticed that there was a middle-aged woman coming around, asking us if we were interested in placing bets during our dining experience. The diners went wild during the races, which created an exciting, yet sometimes, loud atmosphere. In terms of the dining, I was pleasantly surprised with how many options were available. Since it was only $12.95 (with a Winners Circle Card), I was blown away at how much food was placed within the buffet area, with an area dedicated to bread with a variety of spreads, another area with salads and other cold appetizers (such as artichokes, cold cuts, cheese, etc.), a hot table (with such items as lasagna, pizza, chicken, fish, and more), along with a dessert section, which boasted a wide variety of desserts, and a few dishes of fruit. All of the items were well-prepared, and everything tasted fantastic, with each item at the hot table coming onto my plate hot (temperature-wise), which is rare to find in a buffet. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at this buffet, and would highly-recommend it to anyone who wants delicious food, at a low price. The only thing that I didn't like was the waiting period, and how slow it was, considering that many guests usually sit there the entire evening, watching the races and eating for hours on end. Although this is definitely the idea of the trackside buffet, it could have been the reason why we were so delayed in getting to our table. Nevertheless, it was worth the wait, and will definitely be going again!
