Selection of food is limited for the cost. The sashimi section is exclusively salmon, and their sushi and maki items were plain. The noodle section ran out of proteins so we could only get plain noodles. Overall was expecting more. read more

For my first time coming here, especially on a Monday evening (it's busy as hell) I am quite impressed with the amount of variety this place provides. To begin, the design and aesthetics of the restaurant is different from your typical other ayce joints, there is a more majestic and oriental vibe to this place that incorporates some traditional design with modern design. Generally, you can just say this place looks kinda 'FANCY' if you want to put it in that way. There is a pretty spacious entrance area, which I found very intriguing since some other ayce entrances are quite small. But enough about the general layout and how the place looks time to critique the food. First thing I personally enjoyed very much about this place is the variety of how many items of different kinds of food you can choose from. You are able to pick from japanese food ( all the standard sushi rolls, sashimi, tempura) alot of different choices of chinese food ( fried rice, noodles, asparagus,sweet and sour pork,) lots of grilled meats such as sausages, steaks, short ribs, chicken and etc. Plus there is the peking duck which I found was quite tasty for a buffet quality. That was one of the most interesting and favorable things about this place. I very much enjoyed the peking duck and the quality of it, I thought it was very fresh and not like some other trays of food were it's been sitting on the pan for awhile where it becomes soggy and dry. Also the fact that its ayce peking duck too which makes it better since that's a pricy item to eat at chinese restaurants, but this place doesn't limit you on how much you eat. So if your a PEKING DUCK FANATIC and eat,dream and sleep about peking duck then you better come here and chow down!!!! Also there is bubble tea which you can order for an additional cost. I don't remember how much it costs but it was ok. I had gotten just a black milk tea with tapioca. Pretty large portion in terms of the glass they had given me. Taste wise was just ok but I don't think people would really come to this place to get bubble tea or expect it to taste as good as the bubble tea shops outside. So, not really caring on how the quality the drink is. They do have a last call notice to let people know when they are planning on closing up shop which I find is a good idea so that people can go for their final rounds and overstuff themselves *no pun intended* I had went with a few friends and overall my first experience of this place was very positive despite the price per person is $26 which is kinda steep IMO but I guess for that amount you pay the trade off is, there is a ton of choices of different food you can choose from, so it is worth the money to go. UNLESS your a big critic and your expectations are set way high above the bar and looking to be blown away by this place, you will probably be disappointed and perhaps you shouldn't be eating at AYCE's anyways lol. Most definitely would return to this place again, in the meantime need to work out and burn off all that food until the next time ;) read more

If I had to choose a Chinese buffet to go to, it would be here. I love the decor and the variety of selections. The food is tasty and fresh and they always refill quickly. Some of my favourites were the whole plate of salmon sashimi prepared in front of you, peking duck and the dimsum. The selection of the desserts is also amazing! Can't wait for my next visit... read more

Above average ayce chinese buffet, but it is just way too crowded. A little bit pricy than the rest, but u got what u paid for.

Saturday night family celebrated BD at this restaurant, the food was okay, place is packed with people, nice decorating, cold Crab legs was very salty and mussy when you eat, not too fresh, asked waiter to look for clamps to crack crab claws but said there is none, so you can't eat the claws. Green tea charge per person, free tab water smell chlorine, Peking duck slice is the best, Herbal soup is good, service line up and wait 15 mins without booking. Parking is the worst place, I wouldn't take my family here again very pricey. read more

Simply the best Asian AYCE buffet restaurant I have ever been to. Try it...you'll probably like/love it!

A bunch of us friends (all asians) decided we HAD to give it a try. There was so much hype about this place! After visiting, we had to say that we were ACTUALLY quite pleased and even IMPRESSED with the selection that they carried, it was by far better than Mandarin, the now-closed-down Buffet King, and even Dragon Pearl (which I heard is by the same corporation). The price was $29.99 for a Sunday night, which I was told is slightly higher than other buffets, but I found it was definitely worth it! For food items, they had a large selection of sashimi, sushi and rolls that were actually done well, unlike even some japanese ayce places. They had roast beef, and crab legs, which I thought would've been better if they had it both hot and cold like mandarin, but still the cold option was still good. Other food items I really liked and not usually seen included peking duck, frog legs (yes, frog legs!), scallop sashimi, specially "knife-cut" noodle soup, and more! Service was average, I guess good for asian standards (not referring to japanese, of course, they're definitely number one when it comes to customer service), but the thing that was annoying was that when we made our reservations about a week in advance, they said they only had 4:30pm sitting and 7:30pm sitting. We chose the 7:30pm sitting but when we called back to try to change it earlier, they said there were many sittings available! Anyway, I think it's worth visiting at least once if you're into buffets, especially if you know someone with a 10% off VIP card. read more

I have been to dragon legend buffet for a few times. The last time we went was in Chinese new year. The food quality was excellent. Everyone was very impressed. read more

Customer service is poor. My family was turned away at the door yesterday by customer service saying this place was full. This was the second time we showed up at DL and there was no space available. The least you could have done was to check when the next available table would be. The parking situation is also horrible. You have just lost 3 customers. The place looks huge on the outside but there is limited seating. And the ambiance is depressing. read more

For a Chinese buffet, Dragon Legend actually has quality. My favorite is the Peking Duck and I go back for unlimited rounds! They have a great selection when it comes to food - fresh sashimi, Chinese soups, assortment of popular Chinese dishes, noodles, desserts, you name it! I've been multiple times and would always go again. Only things to watch out for is that it is super busy on the weekends (maybe go earlier at 6pm) and the front reception and parking lot area can be like a zoo. Otherwise, you should definitely give it a try! read more

The place is usually very busy and wait times long. Therefore, it is recommended that you make reservations. Service very fast. Food is very filling with alot of selection. I highly recommend and will go again. read more

Unique experience. Glad we came. I tried a lot of things I would not have tried if it were not on a buffet. That's the fun of buffets, you can be adventurous with out recourse. The atmosphere was fun but not enough foods I liked to go again without friends. Probably a good place for a group. I enjoyed the spectacle of it all. The ice cream bar was nice. read more

I went to dragon legend Restaurant again with my friends. Even on Thursday, still very busy. Fortunately, we have reservations in advance .The food was very good. The waiter service was very good. I gave a five-star rating read more

Place was very nice but service could improve. Food was good but not much variety. Favorite part for me was the soy bean pudding! Love it!

It's a great buffet! Huge selection. Really high quality sashimi... Love the Peking duck... It's my favourite buffet!

Very good food and service is nice. The service staff is very courteous. They put water on the table and napkins

My go-to restaurant if I want buffet. LOTS of variety! The food quality is alot better than most buffet places. From Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Western.. they have it all. Prime rib, crab legs/oysters, Peking duck and sashimi are probably the highlights. Food is always replenished. Servers are quick and generally nice. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants to have a buffet style meal. read more

This is the best ayce restaurant I've been to. If you're a fan of Peking duck and sashimi this is the place to go! The only bad part is the parking. Try to get there before peak hours and you'll be fine. read more

Okay to be honest this is the best buffet I've been to. Great selection. Oysters on fridays!! I love the dragon noodles and it is cool to watch them hand shave the noodles as well! I love when they have squid sashimi and I think they have a much better and different selection than any of your other buffets. The atmosphere is cool and a great place to bring family or have a party. Another nice addition is the peking duck, delicious. read more

Probably one of the WORST all you can eat sushi restaurant. The lines are horrific and the service is terrible. I heard so many good things prior to going to this place with my boyfriend but i was left with so many disappointments. The food selection was MEH. Resembles Mandarin to me, if you enjoy Mandarin then by all means this place is ok I guess... But for the price you are paying per person for dinner... This was such a rip off. The stuff did not taste fresh at all to me. Overall, bad experience. OH yeah, drinks are at EXTRA cost after paying 30 dollars + per person, soft drinks aren't even free.. LOL. Pathetic. read more

Therefore is a lot to choose from and some things I've never seen before. There are lots of stations around the edge of the buffet room with people cooking the food. The problem was, ALL the food I got was cold. The second time round, even the fresh stuff was lukewarm at best. It was also RAMMED and very noisy. The worst part was when I came to get dessert and there was no sorbet!! Mandarin is definitely better on this. The cakes were all tasteless as well, very poor tiramisu. If you want proper Asian food, this is where to come, they come here in droves, otherwise just go to your local take out. The woman on the front desk was rude and completely ignored us until I asked for help. read more

Have to rewrite this review after my battery died. $25 lunch I regret doing and will not return. Made a 51 km. Trek to Dragon Legend to try someplace new. This after phoning 4 times today to make a reservation and no one answers. I tried 3 times over 2.5 years to get in. Always over crowded with no seating . This must be very good. It is jammed ! Well, today, I was denied again by a snotty robot receptionist. " no table available". After my temper was clearly expressed, I found 7 empty tables. I was reluctantly " permitted" to seat for limited 40 minute eat time to conform with the communist mandated 3:30 lunch closing time. I and my partner wolfed down greasy shrimp, msg laden stir fry, bland Hargow , locust bean gum laden ice cream, though black sesame flavour was the best, very limited dish selections compared to other AYCE I have patronized. Meats were high fat, low grade cuts from wholesaler. Grill stations were not impressive. Peking Duck is over hyped and micro portion. Not worth it. The food quality and selection suggests this should be a 15-16 dollar lunch, no where near $25. This place is making profit based on the quality served. Fresh fruit was actually good quality. Someone has to pay for the unnecessary over design of the interior (by Iron Design) . You must experience the egg hunt to the impossible to find washroom , complete with bright red urinals with spikes on the floor to pierce your feet. Then enjoy the Co-Ed gold wash sink with freezing cold water and no soap! Must be first for ontario. I just did a AYCE 2 days earlier at Spring Sushi Yonge Dundas for 20% less price and far superior food . K&B is even better. I cannot recommend this place and will not return. Maybe for Markham there is little competition. read more

After consuming a large amount of food at a buffet restaurant recently, we decided to test the waters again and try Dragon Legends located in the heart of Markham on the southwest side of Woodbine Avenue and Highway 7. This restaurant is I believe a sister restaurant of Dragon's Pearl Restaurant in Toronto as it had recently took over a former banquet hall and transformed it into the buffet restaurant that it is now today. We wouldn't have known too much of this restaurant or even have known of its existence if it weren't for the flyers that they were passing out. They were 15% off the final price flyers and basically came in the mailbox. The adult price on the weekend for this place was $29.99 while kids under 4 ate for $2.99. We made reservations to the restaurant for 6:00pm on a Saturday night and upon our arrival, we were greeted by not one but 5 hostesses at the door. We were led to our tables and because of our coupon, we were given a complimentary yellow tail sashimi dish for our efforts. As with any buffet restaurant, it is always difficult to comment on every little thing we had that evening so as my tradition I will focus on the good, the bad and the ugly. Overall the food itself was surprisingly very good and very fresh. I'm not too sure whether it was because of the full house they had that evening that allowed for a high turnover or that a lot of their dishes were made fresh, on the spot, right in front of you but many of the food they served in the restaurant was actually quite delicious. To start off the evening, I actually tried every single piece of sushi and sashimi that they had out on display. Some items I had either never had before or had maybe once or twice in my lifetime. The bonito sashimi and the salmon chip were actually 2 somewhat newer things for me to try and both were yummy and tasty. The bonito fish for those who don't know comes from a mix tuna and mackerel family of fish and it's a slightly meatier fish than some of the more traditional fish in the sashimi family. The salmon chip was also a nice clever dish to make. A simple salmon sashimi with mayonnaise sauce placed on top of a chip actually made a wonderful snack to have. The rest of the sushi and sashimi were surprisingly good, partly because all of te fish were quite fresh . One did not get that stale taste in any of the rolls or in the sashimi that I had tried that evening which was a rarity especially in a buffet style restaurant. Two of my favorites of the evening had to have been the freshly grilled A3 steak and the Peking duck wrap. Both are made fresh right before your eyes and as a result, it made a world of difference when compared to other places that serve the same dish. The A3 steak was soft, juicy and tender and tasted heavenly while the Peking duck was cut fresh right before your eyes. I think I alone had about a half dozen Peking duck wraps that evening alone. Other notables that evening were the crab legs and the roast beef. As much as I enjoyed the roast beef, I was surprised to see, or better yet not to see, any prime rib available for the evening. I was a little surprised not to see it as it is usually a staple in any buffet style restaurant. The ugly of the night really had nothing to do with the food at all but with a personal hygiene issue with one of the waiters. I really hate speaking this way about anyone because it's not really my style to do so but your waiter is part of your dining experience. Although there were plenty of waiters serving us that evening, one of them unfortunately had a really strong body odor emanating from this person. It was pretty bad in that every time this individual had come to take our plates away or pour us a glass of water, I would have to hold my breath and stop eating as it was just horrible. I realize people work hard and that they work up a sweat however if you do and you emanate a certain odor, then an application of a deodorant is really all one really needs. I know everyone at my table could smell this person and it's unfortunate that many of this person's colleagues failed to speak up. Other than that, it was a pretty good night. If it was left for me to decide on just the food alone, I would have given it a 4.5 out of 5. With the waiter issue, they probably lost about a .5 mark on the overall experience. The place was packed and there were still people lining up to get in around 8:30pm. We continued to eat on and off till 10:00pm. that evening. Yes we ate for 4 hours that night and they never kicked us out. read more

See all

Came here for dim sum during lunch time. Probably one of the best dim sum places I've been to . A little pricey comparable to crown prince but I find the better dim sum places usually are. Had lots of different dishes most of them were awesome a couple were good....Nothing was terrible. My favorites were spring roll wrapped in rice roll... Comes with a peanut sauce and is sooooo good.... Also bbq pork in fuff pastry is awesome. Har Gao and sui mai are really lite and not greasy as in some places I have been too...steamed ribs and fried octopus, we're decent but not the best I had. Service is decent but can be slow sometimes as the place was full. Food comes out relatively fast. Recommend getting a reservation. This place has a really nice environment and decor is really cool. Also took some take out for my gf. Fried Rice and sesame chicken are really good. read more

I have been here 3 times and have always enjoyed the food. I love the peking duck! There aren't a lot of AYCE that offer that. There is big variety of tasty Chinese and Japanese food. I loved the dessert too. Can't wait to come back. read more

The place looks great but the food choice and quality is average for the price that you are paying. Biggest disappointment for me was the crab legs. It didn't seem fresh and it was super salty. Sashimi and the fresh noodles were good but overall, I wouldn't go back read more

Food is mediocre. They try so hard to copy dragon pearl buffet but I find it a bit tacky. The dining areas are big but the buffet area is soooo small. It's always crowded because there's absolutely no space. Also I notice the rooms have no sound proofing at all. Another design flaw for such big rooms with elegant theme. read more

We went there for weekend lunch. The peking duck, sashimi, rolls, roast beef, fruits, and desserts are really good. Service was ok.

I agree with everyone else about the fantastic food and highlights. Just wanted to point out one of the most impressive features is the staff patrolling the buffet and calling in orders via headset to the kitchen for dishes needing to be replaced. Makes no wonder the food quality is so high. read more

We went to this restaurant closed to their closing time on a weeknight. I didn't expect much food or replenishment, but everything turned out surprisingly well. There were tons of varieties to choose from (hot & cold). There were not much choices of sushi tho, but the other yummy food made up for it. The Peking duck was really good as well. Love love their longevity soup...I think I had 2. Surprisingly, there were no crab legs. The dessert section was very nice too. I can't believe they had the tofu pudding and red bean soup(don't see a lot of those in a buffet). I was so stuffed that I had to skip ice cream....and I do have a sweet tooth!! read more

Awesome atmosphere, love the designs and the food selection! A little pricey but it's worth it every once in awhile!

This place is great. My family has been coming here for around 2 years now. It is pretty pricey so its only on occasion, well I guess you are paying for how fancy the place is. The food quality is pretty good, way better than Mandarian. I personaly love the peaking duck, and the steak you have to ask to be cooked! The funny thing about this place is that there are quite a lot of "China men" being Chinese myself, but I guess it may be the location, who knows haha.. Overall this place is worth trying, the variety of asian food is awesome, from appetizers, to sides, to mains, and desserts Edit: Its a classier, more authentic, not as disgusting, Mandarian read more

The quantity of the food here was not as large as other Asian buffets that i have been to; however, the quality of the food is great especially since everything taste fresh and not frozen. I would prefer that they would have more food in their selection, but overall definitely recommend tourist or even citizens of Canada to come her for a filling meal. read more

Had company Xmas lunch and for most it was their first time. Decor was unique. We were seated with the big tall chairs, which made for a laugh. Different from the Mandarin. Some prefer mandarin, some enjoyed the change. Service was good. Cleared dishes almost immediately. Nothing spectacular, nothing horrible. They has salmon & butterfish Sushimi, but they served it and were a bit stingy. Only gave 3 pieces salmon & 2butterfish, and when I asked for more (on the same plate) they gave me 1 salmon. They did have a nice selection of sushi in general. Peking duck was a nice surprise. Noodle station was good and fun to watch them hand pull the noodles. Had no problem getting a 2nd dumpling added to my bowls. Spicy beef broth was good, but on the salty side. Overall enjoyed the selection of foods. Quality was a bit higher than Mandarin, however felt not as many different selections. Trade one thing for another, but would definitely go back with the family. Enjoy! read more

I would say this is the best AYCE buffet in town. You can expect to find high quality Chinese food that you usually can't get at regular AYCE restaurant. Peking duck, slow cooked soup, grilled calamari are some of my favourite. read more

I usually come here 1-2 times a year. In my opinion, the food is quite nice, but the quality has gone down over the years.

Excellent food, you can tell it's quality food! My family as well as my best friends family (table of 12) came here for New Year's Eve. It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised with the massive selection and quality of food items. However, I did feel rushed, and the customer service is just not there. I'll still be back, but when there is obviously less rush. read more

One of my favourite Chinese buffet. Beijing duck is awesome! I also enjoyed the noodle and salmon every time I go. All kinds of selections, definitely worth to try it! Strongly recommended read more

A decent variety but frankly all the dishes are not very good. I recommend the fresh noodles if you do end up going, but overall it is not worth it. The setting is nice if you are trying to entertain guests who want AYCE. read more

For an all you can eat buffet place, it's pretty good and I wouldn't mind going back. When we first arrived and saw the parking lot, we thought it would be super busy (btw, we went on a Wednesday); however, when we went inside we were seated immediately. The parking lot is just chaotic. It took my boyfriend 15 minutes to find parking. The food choices were good and they had a hand shaved noodle which is not typical for a buffet place. It was very good. The service was pretty good as well. They were very good at clearing plates. Often, we would just finish our food and someone is already offering to take our plates. The sashimi was very fresh though for the salmon, they actually had someone stand there to hand it out because it was limited to 3 pcs each time. The place is large and the food was spread out with enough space to walk around. Would definitely return. Much better than Mandarin and other places I've tried. read more
