These reviews make me laugh! Stay away from this place! Justin C review is the most accurate based on my experience there. Who cares that this place is huge or that the decor is slightly above average when it comes to chinese food. To be honest I don't like buffets and I don't especially like chinese buffets but my wife is asian and she decided to give it a try. My wife and I, our 4 yr old and infant decided to go there on a Saturday evening for dinner (big mistake). We arrived there 5:00pm didn't have to wait very long. They took us over to the table and as we were setting in the waitress tells us there's a 2 hr max stay (why the hell wouldn't you tell us that before you brought us over?) but since we were already there and made places 2 other family members to all meet there, we stayed. What is it with these buffets that staff is constantly eye-balling you as if you're stealing? 1 hr into the meal we're still waiting for our 2 family members and the waitress comes up to our table and says "you only have 1 hr left." We tell her that we're still waiting for family and she tells us "they better get here soon." 1 hr and 15 minutes into the our meal one other family member comes to join us. 15 mins later the waitress comes over and says "30 minutes left," wife gets a little upset so I ask for the manager to come over. I tell calmly that we don't appreciate being reminded about the time limit, we have to family members running late cause of work and a traffic accident on the highway. So he starts asking me "how would you like it you made reservations and you had to wait?" and before I even got a chance respond he says "I don't want to argue with you," he then proceeds to turn to my wife's sister asks her where she's from, she tells him "filipino" he then responds "well our biggest customers are chinese and 2nd are filipinos, so you should know." What a joke! how the F..K do you call yourselves an all you can eat buffet and then turn around and say "2 hr max?" The food was AVERAGE at best, portions were small and if you're an average height male 6 ft and over expect to be bending over a lot to reach the second row of food cause of the sneeze guard. 3 adults and a 4 yr old cost $101...yup! There are MUCH MUCH better options read more

Amazing Chinese delight! Best i have had in a long time.ill order again . Delivery was the usual hour and food was warm but good.

We live in the area and have been to this location for both dinner and lunch. The location is nice and the decor is beautiful. It gets quite busy at dinner time and much much slower during lunch service. The dinner has always been good. Hot food and great service. The prices are similar to those at Mandarin. The lunch service on the other hand was terrible. As we were at the buffet selecting items we saw them microwaving food behind the grill and then bringing it out and putting it at the buffet! I mean I'm sure other buffets may use a microwave but I'm sure it's done in the back and not in plane sight for the customers to see! I prefer the sister location dragon legend over this place. However neither buffets are that impressive IMO. read more

Had a christmas get together with some co workers. Service: I liked how they accommodated a sizable group and understood when some people couldn't make it. Cleanliness:. Not much to say, everything was clean including the washrooms. Food: There isn't much of a difference between here and other places like mandarin. You have the usual sections (desserts, soups, etc). The new things that I have tried here was there seafood mix (spicy but defintely a variety of seafood from shrimp to crawfish), and their "Soft taco Peking Duck" . That is the name I gave it because the way it was displayed: slices of peking duck mixed with some scallions and another greens, their special sauce, wrapped in a small flat pita like shell. Very delicious! The place is expensive and drinks do not come with the AYCE but I wouldn't mind coming back there for another co worker outing. read more

I've been here twice and I believe Dragon Legend is the better place to visit. I constantly find most dishes dry or overdone. Even on a Friday when it was more busy, I thought it would be cycled through more. The squid, both fried and BBQ was hard, over cooked. Had a bite of my fiancé's steamed shu mai and it was hard edged as well. But it's still better than the Mandarin. The interior for both have unique reclaimed wood and I love it! I feel each piece is truly unique. read more

Last time I was at this place was for my mom's birthday a few years ago. This place is still as great as the first visit. Its is Saturday and the best of the best was out. Lobster, roast beef, great sushi bar, plenty of seafood options, large salad bar, ice cream, Peking duck, dim sum and more. The service was very good, there was always someone collecting our plates and refilling our drinks. The replenishing of the buffet items quickly and the freshness applied to all items. This place is the perfect restaurant to have a gathering as the decor was nice and spacious. I love the chairs! Weird but the design looked like an emperors chair. Ready to book the next family dinner here! read more

Short and simple. Pros: - Just like everyone said, the interior is phenomenal, right when you step into the door. - Food is pretty good, though many are saying better than Mandarin, I beg to differ. - Not sure if it's a huge plus, but the plates are red, pretty unique from the boring white. - I stayed in a private room with a nice long table and private bathroom. Accommodated seven other people with me. - Service was impeccable! Best service around! Gave a pretty huge tip too. Cons: - The damn table gave me a splinter on my leg, wasn't fun. - The lines are a bit long, not TOO long, but you do have to wait. - The Dragon Pearl it's self is an eye catcher, but tastes like your taking a bite into oil ... Pretty bad for $8.99 - You are given lobster 'Coupons' (one per person) to take to the BBQ section, which I think is pretty stupid because I expected the lobster to be all you can eat. As compared to Mandarin where it's all you can eat, that's a bit of a let down for Dragon Pearl. - The Pekking Duck isn't 'Genuine', not complaining all that much ... But I am a huge fan of duck. All in all, I think it's a nice place, WAY better than Imperial Buffet, though not as good as Mandarin and Star Walk. I would go back here again if I had a HUGE group of people which I did at the time, only because the decor is amazing and is a more better place for social gatherings compared to other buffets. read more

I've got mixed feelings about this place. The decor is unique and we were there during the face-changing/mask-changing performance. I'm not sure if that's a weekly or nightly thing though. So overall it made for a very unique buffet experience. In terms of the food itself, it is generally higher quality than most Chinese buffet places. They serve up Peking Duck, which isn't exactly a novelty for buffets in this day and age in the GTA. While the quality is generally higher, they also seem to have a smaller spread than what you might expect, so there's a bit less variety. Compared to the space of the restaurant, the buffet section is relatively small. Desserts were also better than most buffet places. If you're a fan of seafood, there is some, but it's a weaker selection than what I've seen in the buffets out in Brampton. Overall, it's a decent place. I'd recommend giving it a shot if you're in the area looking for a buffet, but it's definitely not a place I'd frequent, nor make a special trip for. read more

I have found the rest of the stolen relics of ancient China! It's at the lobby of this Buffet on York Mills... Dragon's Pearl has to be the most ridiculous restaurant I have ever been in all the GTA. At first I was deterred from coming here, because the flyer I received in the mail had spelling mistakes. But to quote my friend Chris: "Usually restaurants with spelling mistakes have good food, because they won't waste time trying to spell things, and just focus on the food." What a load of bollocks... So I've come here twice so far, and it's a miracle I've made it out alive both times. There is always somehow a crowd of people hanging out by the door, even when there is no wait..there they are. Did someone pay them to loiter here so it appears that reservations are hard to come by? By the lobby, I was met by the heads of the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac. The replicas of the relics that Britain stole from China and refuse to return which was featured in the news? Well, the Chinese news anyway. There were swarms of people waiting for a table, and immediately I regretted not making reservations. However, we were sat upon arrival because there were only two of us. Walking in the venue for the first time is a "trip" itself. The spine of the chairs at the long tables were taller than I was, there are elevated tables on boats, and four round booth that were bird cages. The other tables had chairs so heavy, I struggled like I suffered from obesity simply trying to stand up to get more food as the arm rests kept getting in the way. Some buffets discourage you from eating more by adding MSG or other things to the food, I guess this one discouraged you using shame... There are European chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, but the furniture were oriental. Wood everywhere like it was cabin fever, and busts of the strange blue statue outside with swirly tits hanging from the walls. I asked a waitress what the blue thing was, and she just smiled at me. If I were apart of the blue man crew, I'd be talking to my Lawyer. The entire place felt like a theme park, they even give you an individual "lobster ticket" before seating. A voucher for lobster....food ticket, literally. I felt like I was back in 1992 Communist China, lunchtime. Nothing matched, it was horribly eclectic. It were as if the designer had Mad Décor Disorder. Picture: Columbus arriving in Asia, and the first person he met was Tim Burton. Normally, buffet stations are set separately. At this place, it's all one sided, stretching across the entire length of the restaurant, which is a traffic catastrophe. It was the Great Wall of Dragon's Pearl. You vouch for your lobster at the beginning of the line, this is a huge tack, but most other buffets never offer lobster..so it's forgiven. I've forgotten about the unusual design of this place once at the Great Wall..I mean food station. There is so much food! A handsome selection of seafood, a sushi station where the chefs behind the counter doesn't have to feel ashamed about, and even a Peking Duck point! The desserts and salad bar weren't too shabby either. At the end, there is a noodle pulling station. Which means everything was fresh. But I didn't bother with that, because I just don't have the stomach for it after slobbering my plate. The quality of the food is a bit above other buffets as well, and there is a completely boring projection on the wall while you're getting your food...for no apparent reason. At this rate, you'd expect the service to fall short, but it just doesn't. Napkins and refills came regularly, most of the time without having to ask for it. Even the ambient music here was tolerable. This is what would happen if Chef Ramsay opened an 'All you can eat' joint. There is simply very little to complain about. Yes, I felt fatter each time I struggle to stand up from my seat. Yes, the concept of a lobster ticket is as kitsch as it gets. Yes, getting the food made me feel like I was in a concentration camp. But it's all good! I strike fear in the hearts of places like Mandarin and Buffet King, but Dragon's Pearl laughs at me, as I've never been able to get beyond three plates, and still have enough endurance for dessert. Yes, this was like a endurance test. Like a Marathon, only the opposite. The second time we came here, after paying the bill we saw our friend at another table getting up for food with his girlfriend. So we quickly went to their table and sat down, confusing the hell out of the waitresses. When they came back, we pretended to look through the drinks menu, which sent them looking for their tables until they realized what we've done. That's the kind of euphoric state I am rendered to after dining here. Don't park your car too far from the entrance, you won't make it back if you do. Oh, you can also buy jewelry here..? Dragon's Pearl. I would hate to see the size of the oyster that dragon had to swallow just to get to that pear read more

See all

Decor here is really nice. Reusing old wood, clean and spacious. It's one of those places you'd go for a group gathering and have a great time. Food is secondary. The food here ranges from mediocre to good. The sesame chicken is pretty good. I saw them pouring a new batch so I grabbed a few pieces. Crunchy and coated with a slightly sweet sauce and sesame seeds. The noodles, rice, veggies and dim sum were all pretty much mediocre. The same thing can be said about the sushi, but I saw them filleting a salmon and it was really fresh. The salad bar is alright, good choices, ceasar salad was freshly tossed. Soup selection was alright. I loved the grilled pineapple. Dessert had a good selection of fresh fruits and cakes. I save just enough room for a small bowl of silken tofu and the syrup has ginger in it! Its harder to find that in Toronto now because I heard it takes a lot of time and effort for a little bit of ginger taste to it. They also have waffles. Service was attentive, dishes were cleaned with minutes of us finishing our plates. Tea was always refilled. I chose the oolong tea and it was pretty good. For an AYCE place, this place is good for its value since they have a good variety of choices. read more

I came here during the dinner time. The food selection is very minimal and for the price there are better alternatives. The noodles is the only thing that stood out for me, 4 different broth choices to choose from. read more

The theme of this place is ... SIMILAR BUT DIFFERENT ... We visited Dragon Pearl (DPB) location today for lunch. Reviews of this location and other buffets tend to be fair better for the Friday/WE night dinners but we personally don't see the value. We have two kids and the younger one still is quite finicky with their food. Sure you may get crab legs but then that is what you are paying for and unless that is what you eat, you aren't getting your money's worth --- which I feel defeats the whole purpose of the "buffet" - I tend to want to go for the variety and when you are paying up in the $25/person range, I tend to be forced to eat the premium items only. Further, if the bill starts creeping up to $100 - for about 30% less I can go to a real Chinese restaurant - order very good - fresh/hot entrees (assured of exactly what WE want) and even have left overs for lunch. As many reviews have stated there is an inherent desire to compare this location to Mandarin. What we noticed was that on average - DPB appears to have higher quality items but Mandarin has a greater range of (albeit) slightly lower quality. At the grill - Mandarin has chicken/beef/sausage but at this location there was grilled chicken/sausage/pineapple/eggs/plantain/squid potatoes. (wife liked the plantain) ... yet no grilled beef. Mandarin has simple "crappy" pepperoni/cheese pizzas where this place has a more robust sausage pepperoni pizza. My son always gets a cheese slice but passed today - he refused to pick the sausage and pepperoni off. (sometimes less is more). I tried the pizza and it tasted fine. Entrees - similar but different to Mandarin - Mandarin would have vegetable fried rice as here, but this place also had (quite nice too) Yang Chow fried rice with shrimp. For the younger ones - they had chicken nuggets (warm not hot) yet no onion rings. For Sushi offerings (we don't eat/cannot comment on taste) - far more here than Mandarin. Deserts - big differences - DBP no pies (bread pudding -- really?); far more "sugarless" cakes/pastries yet some higher end cakes/pastries you don't see at Mandarin including real blueberry cheese cake (squares). Mandarin - some of the offerings are poor but again - more variety, more ice cream choices and their mini choco-chip cookies are far better than the crappy ones here. Interestingly at the DBP ice cream station they have "choco" "rainbow" sprinkles and marshmallows. The choco syrup is way over at the waffle station which is a fair distance - just poor design overall. Mandarin - has both choco/caramel syrup right in between the two ice cream freezers. For our family, I guess we are used to certain things and the desert offerings at DBP albeit better, were no match to Mandarin's selection. I did happen to try to noodles everyone seems to rave about - it was fine but in my version of a buffet "soups" "salads" and "noodle bowls" are mere filler and I tend to stay away. The Dragon Pearl shell bites - zero taste zero point. Big Picture Overall the experience was okay at the Dragon Pearl Buffet - similar but different and maybe one day we would return. For a pure value play with more selection (albeit - you lose some of the quality items) Mandarin to us is a better value play. (DPB is also a bit more money and doesn't follow the same "50% off for child" formula.) Service - with a smile? We called about 10AM to make a reservation for 1pm; greeter was friendly; we waited a minute or two after arriving about 10m late and a table was opened. Tables was configured for 6 people so they had it "round" v. "square" - which added room -- (Mandarin tables tend to be small -- pack'em in!!!!) Everyone has raved about the decor - definitely more attractive place than most. Plates were taken away and water refilled efficiently. Though they tended to do a bit of swooping (one after the other) as soon as the restaurant thinned out. Overall friendly staff. Parking - directly out front but plenty when we went to the south (though they share with a grocery store so sometimes it may be an issue). Otherwise we had no complaints. Note: We have no opinion of the restrooms as we didn't visit them. read more

Been here on several occasions decor- 5/5, its pretty nice for a buffet! food- they give u a lobster ticket upon entry (for dinner) so that's pretty sweet, the food is always hot and fresh, wide variety 4.5/5 service- good i would definitely come back again read more

Can't believe it took me so long to go there. Forget about Mandarin, check this place out. Cheaper, better food, and cooler experience. Not sure what was going on that night but there seemed to be shows and dancers that had begun before we got there. read more

My first time at a Dragon Pearl buffet. They had a huge selection of food from over the world and all tasted very good! My favourite was the deep fried oysters (make sure you choose ones with just a little batter). Unfortunately I didn't get to try their signature dragon pearl dessert... Friends told me that the Markham location had cold crab and frog legs, so I was looking forward to it at this location... they didn't have it! read more

This place is one of the best buffets that I have tried. They have a good variety of food and the service is amazing. On our second visit they were constantly clearing away places and replenishing napkins without asking. The roast beef was great and so was the fresh noodles, I highly recommend the beef szhewan read more

Better than Mandarin IMO. Everyone gets 1 lobster tail but ask for a claw and they'll give you one. Variety of food and dessert is well worth admission price. trying everything will make you loosen the belt a little bit. i had a taro milk bubble tea and it was on par with the usual bubble tea shops. oh, also, ask your waiter/waitress for a dragon pearl. the decor is very nice and the ambiance is classy, romantic and casual. if you have a party of 6, try getting seats on the boat. It adds to the experience. best to make a reservation for friday/saturday nights. it's rare for me to eat buffet dinner but when I go come back (2015), I'll be back at Dragon Pearl. read more

I usually do not like buffets, and i cannot remember the last time I have been to one. That said, dragon legend was better than I expected. Sushi was fresh, selection of rolls were relatively plentiful. Their Peking duck was actually very decent, the wrap was not too thick, and the servers actually gave a large serving of duck for each wrap. I got to sample an assortment of other cooked items such as their braised ox tail (ok), soup (tasted like the standard soup they serve at restaurants), sweet and sour pork, etc, and all were pretty much as expected, with the exception of their hand cut noodles, which were pretty solid! Only complaint was the crab legs were very difficult to eat as they were not cut or pre-cracked for you. Although they provided us with the shell crackers, the legs were too soft to effectively use them, so after spending what seemed like 10 min extracting the little bits of meat from two legs, I had enough. Dessert is always my favorite, and I was very glad to see the presence of Chinese desserts along with the regular overly sweet cakes of sweet offerings. Overall, if my friends or family wishes to have a buffet, I would not hesitate to suggest dragon legend. read more

Not a fan, but they are one of the only restaurants who still served hot crab legs. Similar to dragon legend, they have a wide variety of Chinese and Taiwanese dishes, including Peking duck. Something that stands out is that you can get a "dragons pearl" in which they fry dough into a thin ball. read more

Great chinese buffet. Way better than Mandarin. It's a little out of the way for me but it's worth the drive. Also love the decor too. read more

I think it's same price as Mandarin, and their food options are quite the same as well. But in my opinion they definitely have more dessert options than Mandarin, and they are AMAZING! Had a birthday dinner with my boyfriend there, they gave him a mini birthday cake and sang the song, it was quite a good experience for us. :) read more

Heard so many great reviews about this place but unfortunately did not live up to its hype. Food was bland and the lobster was over cooked. Enjoyed the atmosphere but that was pretty much it . The dessert selection was sub par to Mandarin. Overall would not go back. read more

Dragon Pearl Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Its alwaysssss the allure of all you can eat, but when you're done...You hate yourself lol. This place is nice. It's a nice step up over a place like the mandarin. At the end of the day though, it is your neighborhood AYCE place. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the decor in the restaurant.. I think it might be a fun date night restaurant. Stopped in with a friend for a quick lunch and it was a nice surprise. We mostly ate from the sushi table, I only wish there was a bit more of a selection to include sashimi. Perhaps there is more during dinner. There is a lot of hot food selection but I didn't sample it for lunch. I look forward to going back and sampling some more of the dishes. Lunch was reasonably priced and the service was great. read more

If you're cluster phobic stick to mandarin. Lobby 200 sq ft Buffet area 400 sq ft Busy and tight Got the bill and told my time is up gtfo. Food is maybe even a bit better.. But the items above made it a disappointing experience . read more

The interior is nice and different from other Chinese restaurants. This was our first visit and I had higher expectations for the price and considering the restaurant location I was disappointed. The food is plain. Nothing really stands out. The service was poor. Our server was a bit rude and we only saw him when we were ready to pay. The guy came to take our order for drinks and we only saw him when we paid the bill. He stood over us until we paid. I didn't like that considering the bill was only $26.00. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for good Chinese food. There are a lot of better places. read more

Honestly, the best damn Chinese buffet I have ever been to. Bar none. Also, live show! The food selection was large, the service was crazy good. Plates disappeared quickly, new napkins dropped off, and water always refilled quickly. The five stars are relative and in comparison to Chinese buffets. It is obviously not a high end culinary restaurant, its a Chinese buffet with all the usual buffet caveats. The important thing is, it is the best Chinese buffet I have ever eat at. I don't understand people that review buffets as if they are a la carte restaurants. Haters will be haters I guess. read more

This is a place with lots of variety - we went on a Thursday on the week of mother's day. Free face changing show and food is fine. We enjoyed the show and dinner altogether. I like the decor and choices they offer. Worth to try!! read more

Good pricing Good service Good variety on the buffet Good experience overall. No complaints read more

Very good buffet. Large selection, very large dining room with great decor. Lots of specialty food areas.

Went a few days after the holidays. Booked a private booth. Simply the best Asian buffet around. Great sushi and sashimi. Peking duck is always delicious and this time they had a special spicy seafood mix which was superb. Also how could you say no to raw oysters! Shame they got rid of the lobster however. Overall would recommend especially if your go to buffet is Mandarin! read more

Exec Summary: Asian-inspired buffet with excellent decor and average food, comparable to Mandarin. First Impressions: "wow, that's a big a-- jeen diuh!" (jeen diuh = the crispy dumpling thing they call a Dragon Pearl) Would I go back? If I'm in the area and looking for a buffet, ya. Comparison: Selection of entrees comparable to Mandarin and Buffet King. Buffet King has some better dishes though (more seafood). I think they have more desserts at Dragon Pearl than either competitor. The long review: Man, I must be getting old. Once up a time, in a town not so far away, a skinny Asian boy was able to pound down plate after plate of food and desserts. That was then, this is now. My metabolism no longer allows me to do this, and my stomach physically hurts after chowing down more than 3 plates of food. As a result, even at buffets, I look for quality and quantity in more cases than naught, and even in buffets I can't turn a blind eye to the quality. The food here was average, though they had a large selection. I can't say anything was particularly "good", but everything was ok, I think the lower turn over on a Tuesday night might have contributed. Maybe it's better for lunch, I hear it's rammed so the dishes are likely fresher. With a carving station (roast beef), grill station (kalbi ribs, chicken, fish, grilled bananas and sweet potatoes), sushi section (including salmon and white fish sashimi and rolls), and plenty of hot plates of Asian food (peking duck, your pseudo american-chinese chicken balls) including chinese and japanese inspired dishes, pizza, BBQ ribs, there's definitely a lot of selection here. I'd say more selection than Mandarin and Buffet King. As for quality, the roast beef was a bit cold and slightly dry, but how many buffets outside of Nevada have good roast beef? The peking duck was mediocre and the bread that comes with it was too large, a bit thick and dry, but how many buffets have peking duck? The sushi selection was better than Mandarin and I think better than buffet king. The BBQ ribs were actually quite good and along with their noodle station, I'd say my favorite thing available. The salmon was overcooked and dry. I won't go on, but the quality was on par with Mandarin, but Buffet King has better entrees and better quality food. The dessert station was large as well, with a good assortment of cakes, cookies, pies, waffles, ice cream, etc. Quality of the desserts was on par with Mandarin. All in all, it's not bad, and if you're closer to Dragon Pearl than Mandarin, it's not worth the extra drive to Mandarin. read more

Seems to be the same as Dragon Legend in Markham, so my review will be similar. Lunch buffet was about $16 which I found to be very reasonable. The quality was great for a buffet. Best things include the sushi, grilled vegetables and meat and the homemade noodles in soup. They also had one of my favorites: hollow balls that look like cream puffs but they are rolled in sugar. Clean restaurant, constant filling of water glasses and clearing of used plates. They were great with our very large group. read more

Honestly the best way i could describe it is a slight upgrade over mandarin. The environment is really nice and big i didn't expect the sitting area to be that large. The selection of the food is good too. The lunch prices are pretty decent as well. The food was not quality but not horrible either. Overall it was decent read more

Dragon Pearl Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I have been to the Dragon Pearl a few times before & I have no issues with the food. What I do have an issue with is the fact that they do not reply to the on-line request for a reservation, nor do they respond to the voicemails left. I called again today & their voicemail is full. Don't you guys want my business? read more

I have very low expectations for any kinds of Chinese buffets, because a lot of the time it is Americanized Chinese food. It was somewhat better than I expected. When you come in they give each person a lobster ticket to redeem half a lobster. Except they ran out of lobsters. With the amount of tickets they were giving out that night, they should've guessed and provided enough. read more

Quite a nice buffet with a huge variety of dishes. They have a variety of dishes that aren't served in a typical Chinese buffet including Peking duck, lobster, longevity noodles, dragon pearl, etc. Not a cheap buffet but well worth the price. read more

Wonderful atmosphere and of course the food is excellent. Grilled fish and other goodies. Lots of dishes to choose from. The waitresses are super friendly, freshened up our tea without asking. Would definitely recommend read more

Pretty nice buffet. Sometimes the food is not hot but the quality is really great. Large selection. Don't have any complaints.

Really clean place with awesome interior decoration, and most importantly, very good food. It is a more upscale Mandarin. All the food tasted good. Like the name suggests, it does not have much Western selection except for some of the grilled foods and dessert. Sushi tasted fine, sashimi was fresh. If you are looking for a place with a variety of good Asian food, this is the place. For the ambiance and food, the price is fair. It is very clean, and the servers are extremely professional and polite. Less variety than other buffets, but every single item is very good. Quality over quantity (by quantity, I mean variety). read more
