The serving area, the tables, and even the bathrooms are pristine. The food quality and variety is great. They offer all the normal stuff you see at a Chinese buffet plus extras like Maple flavored meatballs and wings. The sushi section is a little smaller than others but gets the job done. The desert section is incredible and you will want seconds. Try the maple ice cream! We went here twice in the short week we were in town, and I were a local this spot would be on my regular rotation for sure.

Was provided a hot lemon infused cloth to clean up prior to going up to the stations to eat. Cup never emptied without an ask for refill. Very attentive the entire time. 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.

Dragon Legend is my favourite AYCE Asian Buffet restaurant, offering a wide variety of dishes with…read moreauthentic flavours. They have not only survived the pandemic of a few years ago but they have thrived as only the best do. Their recent facelift brings a fresh new look to the place. Well done! I usually can't resist starting with a salad and a bowl of soup but this time I went straight for the sushi, adding a little crab salad and seaweed from the salad bar. I also had my usual hot and sour soup with a couple of wontons. Good start. Next, was the Peking Duck, my favourite. I love the tender pieces of duck, wrapped in a thin pancake with hoisin sauce and green onions. I could eat this all day, every day but they limit you to two pieces every visit to this station, but they don't limit the number of visits. Yesss! With my craving for duck satisfied, I explored other stations, taking very small portions of select dishes. It adds up quickly and my plate was full in no time. I was also quite full but I heard the duck calling my name one more time! Although stuffed, a quick pass through the desserts resulted in a very small sampling that completed my only meal for the day. The renovations to the restaurant have modernized its look and feel, with bold patterns and textures. New tables and chairs have made seating more efficient (at least in the section my group were seated in). They've also added a section with claw machines and games to keep the younger guests entertained. The service was excellent, with food stations being replenished quickly, and empty plates being cleared efficiently. Great job all around!

The selection of food is OK not as extensive I feel as Mandarin, but the quality is good. The Peking duck tested more like roasted duck. Their beverages are Pepsi products, but I saw some tables given some Coke cans, so I'm not sure who I have to slip money to - to get a can of Coke. I've tried this place at least three times before I made a review and each time I think about how I've had better buffets. Some weekends they take no walk-ins reservation only this past weekend we were able to just walk in and get a table for two parking is not great at this location not enough spots.

We were there just after opening, so tables were easier to come by and the food was fresh and delicious. You pay first, are given a tray with compartments similar to similar concepts in Northern China. There are a couple of Chinese-American staples like General Tsos and Beef & Broccoli, and non-Chinese dishes like southern fried chicken and French fries, but the vast majority were authentic. If they have the tofu noodle when you're in I recommend it, I also liked their version of the cold pig ear salad. They frown on wasted food, so try to take only as much as you can eat (which should be everyone's default when at a buffet anyway).

This is a place if you just want to fill up your belly and don't care about quality or taste. For a foodie like myself, I can not recommend this place. Food was salty and below average.

First time coming to this restaurant and actually first time eating at any restaurant in Brampton…read more Came here as a big group of 42 and they gave us a closed off section right by the entrance to the right just behind the soft drinks section. 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. They had plenty of ice cream to choose from as well as a soft serve ice cream machine. The service provided by the employees were top notch, so friendly, and helpful. Very pleased with my experience and just to note my visit was on a Friday night so your good selections may be different depending on a weekday or weekend.

The selection is great for the price.

The food was mostly below average & the others were mostly decent (spicy lentil soup, samosa, Tandoori chicken). The pappadum was stale. There was a pre-tossed chaat (chickpeas, red sauce & crispy wafers) which was quite good (still crispy) especially with added yogurt on top. Chili chicken was the worst: soggy & sour with no umami flavour. There were more desserts than expected which were decent: Honeydew, Gulab jamun (quite firm), 2 ice cream flavours (ice cream was the usual cheap buffet ice cream but with no ice crystals), kheer & plain custard (very lumpy but tasting decent).

Mongolian Grill is an AYCE buffet style restaurant. They give you a small bowl and you walk around…read morefilling it with ingredients that their chefs cook in from of you on a large "grill". There are plenty of choices from which to choose. Meats: lamb. beef, chicken breast, Korean marinaded beef. Seafood: Shrimp, Surimi, salmon. Vegan: tofu, falafel. Noodles: lo mein, rice noodles, udon, pasta. Vegetables (not all listed): bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, mushrooms, green pepper, onions, spinach, hot peppers, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, bean sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and more. Then there are about 14 sauces to choose from. You can go with one or mix. And, there are 20 spices to select from. Choose what you want. Pass to the chefs and they cook it up. 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. The night went they had a chicken noodle soup and minestrone soup. It's out of the way for me, but if I were passing by sometime in the future, I would return.

It's always a treat to dine at The Mongolian Grill in Whitby. It's a unique experience, featuring…read morefresh ingredients with the flavours of your choice. If you're unfamiliar with their concept, it's a buffet of raw ingredients and seasonings, including meats, seafood, vegetables, and more. Choices include beef, chicken, lamb, shrimps, fish, tofu, fresh vegetables, a wide variety of spices and seasonings, and so much more. Whether you're a meat lover, pescatarian, or vegetarian, there's more than enough to satisfy your carvings. There's also soup and salad, along with rice and tortillas, if you choose. I can never resist. After choosing your ingredients and seasonings, it will be expertly cooked for you on their huge plancha grill. It's a stir-fry, combining all the ingredients that you chose. This might be the only place where you influence the final outcome of your dish! On my first round, I chose lamb and beef, with noodles, some veggies, and Asian seasonings. It was really good. For round two, I had more lamb, more veggies, and a spicier seasoning mix. Although I would have loved to have tried some of their seafood choices, I was so full! This was a good meal! They also offer some great desserts but I was too stuffed to indulge. Check them out in the Whitby Entertainment Centrum!

This spot is larger than the others I've been to, with ample room for seating.

They only have one elevator each way and everyone in Canada uses these! Lines can be long. Do your other timed stuff BEFORE you go up there to avoid the stress of missing a tour because you are standing up there forever waiting for the elevator! I do try to avoid these touristy spots but the view from the dining room was jaw dropping. Surprisingly we also had delicious food and attentive service. I was surprised considering the number of tourists. Tip: reserve a spot in the dining room rather than just going to the observation deck. The views from the dining room are much better and you won't need to fight to get a good spot for a photo. You can sit and enjoy your food and drink and eventually your perfect view will reveal itself. The photos say it all.

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!
