    They have a new wing/section/room that opened near the entrance and it's removed from the main (darker lit) dining area with all the tall wooden tables and chairs. This new section doesnt feel on brand though the table is a lot bigger, it feels like sitting here you're kind of cast off from the whole restaurant. Food remains great, service is quick like usual, no complaints there.

    February 5, 2026 - I finally decided to come around and try out the legendary Dragon Pearl buffet. There was a decent variety of food. Everything from mussels, shrimp, mixed veges, noodles, ribs, fish, sushi, chicken, mashed potatoes, beef, bulgogi, Peking duck, eel etc etc. My favourites were probably the Peking Duck, mussels, and roast beef. Unfortunately, the sushi was not the best quality. I noticed a bit of blood in the salmon sashimi so I did not eat that. I guess it's more of a westernized Chinese food. My friend said it was not what it used to be. He went about 7 years ago for Chinese New Years and said the food used to be better and have better variety. This was my first time so I don't have a baseline. But overall the food was still good quality and enough to satisfy most people.

    Came on a Friday night and was very glad we reserved a table prior to coming. The walk in like had at least 10+ groups. It was my first time coming to Dragon Pearl and I was impressed! Highlights include the unlimited crab legs, Peking duck wraps, sashimi (my favourite was salmon), and the AA steak freshly seared and sliced for you. Food quality felt like it was on the higher side compared to other Asian buffets, and the service was friendly and swift with removing plates. Dinner was ~$55 pp for adults and given the quality of food provided, I think the price point was justified.

    We took both sides of our family here for a Christmas dinner treat, and it turned out to be a great choice. We went on the weekend, so everyone was able to enjoy AYCE grilled oysters and received a coupon to redeem one half lobster tail. We arrived right at the start of dinner with a reservation and were seated quickly. The venue filled up fast with other families celebrating Christmas, and there were long lines at the door shortly after. The grilled oysters were amazing, and we made it a goal to grab at least one with every round, lol. The garlic grilled oysters were by far tastier than the cheese ones. The lobster tails were a decent size and not overcooked, especially nice with the butter. While the lobster tails were not AYCE, there was a seafood boil style dish with unlimited lobster claws, which we definitely took full advantage of. The overall selection was great for the holiday price we paid. There was a nice variety of sushi, including salmon and tuna sashimi. The Peking duck was juicy and delicious. They also had prime rib, though that was unfortunately pretty dry and tough to chew. Service was excellent throughout. There was an area we initially thought was a stage, but it turned out to be a Christmas photo op spot, and the staff kindly took some great family photos for us. Everyone left full and happy, and if you know, you know, pleasing Asian parents, especially with food, is no easy task, lol.

    I've been wanting to try out the G8 Afternoon Tea for MONTHSSS after seeing the hype around this place and it did not disappoint. For $42, you can order anything off the afternoon tea menu AND you have access to their lunch buffet too. As for their afternoon tea menu, each person can choose 3 mains, the small dishes/small bowls/dessert is unlimited, and served with jasmine tea. I LOVEEE their dessert menu, I would honestly come back just for this Must orders: - 5 Flavour Duck - Butternut Squash Scallop - Tuna Tataki - Hamachi Ceviche - Sichuan Pepper Gong Cai - Bangkok Charred Pork Jowl - Steamed Tofu Chawanmushi (Seafood) - Calligraphy Brush Pastry - Strawberry Daifuku - Mango Sticky Rice

    Overall, a pretty solid AYCE Chinese buffet. They offer a wide variety of dishes, including Peking duck, different types of sashimi, roast beef, a seafood boil, and more. The dessert selection is also huge, with options like mango sago, waffles, tanghulu, cheesecakes, and plenty of others. They even serve cooked oysters with cheese or garlic, and everyone gets half a lobster. If you're a seafood lover, this place is definitely worth checking out. During the holidays, the nighttime price is $55 per person before tax, which is quite expensive, but the food quality is pretty good for an AYCE buffet. I visited when they first opened and they're definitely much more organized now. They limit the number of guests, so it's less crowded when getting food. I'd recommend making a reservation in advance. The restaurant has plenty of seating, with tables for both large groups and smaller parties. One thing I really liked is that they have a sink near the food area, so you can wash your hands before grabbing a new plate. The staff always came around clearing plate and refilling water

    My family and I visited Dragon Pearl Buffet to celebrate a birthday. We came in at 4:45pm which was 15 minutes earlier than our reservation. There was a long line which we took as a good indicator that this place was going to be good. Their buffet tables had a great variety of food options, including duck, sushi & sashimi, dumplings, seafood and even a lobster tail per person for dinner. The lobster tail itself was okay but we enjoyed the shrimps, chicken and dumplings. The steak was cut-to-order right in front of you but we found them rather dry and tough. This could be because it has been under the heat lamp which overcooked it. We were looking for the oysters as those were advertised but unfortunately, they didn't have them at the time which was a disappointment. Overall, it was a great buffet experience. It was a lot better than your typical buffets so I do recommend coming here for a special occasion. They had traditional Chinese decorations which made the place aesthetically pleasing. The service was pretty good. Although we did have to remind them about our drink order as that took quite awhile.

    peking duck plate
    Jason M.

    Came back again for my gf's mom's bday. Honestly, round 1 is pretty much a bunch of cool items I find interesting (this time around it was the grilled scallops with vermicelli) and then I start doubling up on plates of peking duck starting from round 2 (3 or 4 wraps per plate). The bbq pork ribs get honourable mention from me because the meat's actually pull off the bone (even though the flavour doesn't beat true southern bbq). The thing I like about the peking duck station at this buffet is I can grab as many duck slices as I want per wrap and as much spring onion and sauce as well. Call me weird, but I like to overload my wraps with sauce. The duck skin is obviously not the crispiest but it's crispy enough and the meat is not dry which is a welcome surprise. But yea, I don't even know how many plates of peking duck I ate on this particular visit as I think I was so focused on fisting the wraps but I think it was ~ 8 or 9 plates? (w/ 3 wraps per plate) And then for dessert had about 6 large ice cream scoops (the scoopers are in heated water now so management wisened up on that). Peking duck is the best food item at this buffet by a mile hehe.

    Osmanthus Earl Grey Latte
    MJ L.

    First time here and came for the G8 Afternoon Tea. [Good] Osmanthus Earl Grey Latte - Not overly sweet, both osmanthus and Earl Grey flavours came through. Was nice and refreshing. Five Flavour Duck - The best of the 3 mains you can choose. Nice flavour, good cook, and orange tang comes through. Bangkok Charred Pork Jowl - So good we ordered multiple plates. Love the bounce and the sauce on these. Hon. Mentions - XO Chili Sauce Wonton, Sichuan Pepper Gong Cai, Signature Hand Roll, Spicy Tantan Udon, Pineapple Cake, Strawberry Daifuku, Mango Sticky Rice, Seasonal Fruit Panna Cotta [Meh] The other 5 mains - None of the other mains were particularly tasty, most were not even hot coming out of the kitchen so temperature was an issue. Goji Chinese Yam, Wine Marinated Grapes - These were kinda unique but the flavour profiles were not for me. [Worth it?] Borderline. Maybe I'm a bit harsh given all the good dishes I listed but the actual hit rate is only around 50%. We tried almost all the items on the menu and I listed only 3 standouts, one of them a drink. Service was really friendly and excellent. You also have access to their buffet as well but I was too full to eat more dishes from our there. This adds to the value a bit and so I think it's worth a try. It's an interesting take on afternoon tea with small dishes that were all nicely plated. At the least it's IG worthy!

    Came for dinner on a weekday, we got a plate of lobster for birthday celebration when pay by cash, we were actually expecting ayce lobster but this would do. Good quality food compared to a lot of ayce or buffet places, service was not bad but wasn't as attentive (took them a while to come clean up or change plates), although I liked that the restaurant wasn't super loud for such a large room.

    Went today as party of 5 for mom's 83rd birthday. Had made reservation last week, after not having been there for almost one year. Upon entering, total crowded chaos and most troubling was standing in front of three hosts and not one would give eye contact. Yes, they were busy. But hi and a smile would help. The entire experience was not enjoyable like it always was since it opened in 2010. Overcrowded with patrons where there is no space to even get the food! Only one table side for most food items whereas if they had two identical offerings on each table, flow of people may have a chance. To top it off, I have never felt more rushed (not by our server) but the other staff sent to linger over our table then appearing with credit card machine before we were ready to pay. Yes, I am aware of 1.5 hour limit and we were just approaching it at 3pm - they stop serving food by 3:15 today. Ladies room was a mess by customers leaving toilet paper, serviettes, and paper towel all over floors in and outside of toilet stall area! Or server, Jason, was lovely. However, AK other staff were unhappy, officious, and rude. What used to be my favorite is now one I cannot bring myself to ever attend again.

    I came here on a Tuesday with my family, it was our first time trying out this buffet because they were doing a promo for seniors. We made a reservation for 12:30. We already got there about 15 minutes before and there were already so many people, the line up was so long it was out the door. Luckily we made a reservation so the wait wasn't too bad, we were able to get a table after 20 mins. They offer a wide selection of food and dessert. Everything was quite fresh. Loved the whole decor! Will definitely return.

    Overall a 3.5 - The Dragon Pearl Buffet is a popular spot for all-you-can-eat Chinese cuisine known for its vast selection of dishes, including sushi, dim sum, seafood, meats, vegetables, and desserts. I came here recently for their weekend holiday menu (available until January 5, 2025) which includes one half lobster tail per person (must present ticket to redeem), streamed scallops, and abalone, along with their usual items such as Peking duck, and prime roast. The overall quality of the food was ok, but varied depending on the dish. However, a buffet style meal made it easy to cater to a large group with varying palates. The restaurant was quite busy when I arrived on a Sunday evening so reservations are highly recommended. The staff here were all friendly and efficient. Note: they offer a 20% discount for seniors 65 and older

We tried several of their noodle soups, and each one had its own charm. The house special noodles came loaded with toppings like beef tendon, brisket, wontons, offal, and squid balls, so every bite felt hearty and satisfying. The broth was especially comforting with the noodles. The wonton noodles were a little lighter, but still very good. The shrimp wontons were huge, with a nice crisp bite to the shrimp, and the whole bowl felt especially soothing after a late night. The offal noodles were also impressive, with a very generous portion of offal and a fragrant touch of garlic oil that brought everything together. The four-ball noodle soup is a great choice if you are not sure what to order, since you get to try fish balls, squid balls, beef tendon balls, and sliced fish all in one bowl. My favorite dish of the night was definitely the fried dumplings. They were crispy on the outside, tender and juicy inside, and soaked up that savory house sauce so well. Easily some of the best fried dumplings I've had. We also tried the chives and pork blood, which is a must-order for anyone who enjoys pork blood dishes. There was no unpleasant smell at all, and the seasoning with chives was just right. To drink, the iced lemon tea and lemonade were simple but refreshing, and paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, this is a place I would gladly come back to when I want something filling, flavorful, and affordable.

The posters outside caught my eye, and I decided to come back with a group of three friends to try it out. We came a bit late around 8 PM, and most of the fish were already sold out except the original. We ended up ordering the Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($40), a whole fish served bubbling hot with three toppings (potatoes, spam, and lotus root). You can choose between catfish and turbot, we chose the turbot fish. It looked extremely spicy, but the spice level was actually perfect. It was a bit on the oily side, but pairing it with rice balanced it out nicely. The fish was very tender and buttery, everything tasted amazing! We also ordered the Stir-Fried Egg with Tomato. The eggs were soft, the tomato sauce was rich. Not to mention the portion size was huge, we even had leftovers after eating until we were full. The restaurant itself was spacious, clean, and had plenty of seating. I think they were doing some sort of promotion so they gave us a $25 off coupon, though it expired pretty quickly so we didn't get to use it. I'd definitely come back for that grilled fish.

A few of their dishes come out on a sizzling plate with flames underneath. They are still in soft-opening mode with several specials. You can see the menus via a QR code. The Hunan cuisine is listed as "Hunan Noodles" and the Szechuan cuisine is listed as "Chopfire Menu". The Szechuan dishes are listed with 1 to 3 chilies representing the spiciness. If you can't handle spicy, then avoid eating the chili pieces and you might "survive". The restaurant decided to minimize their food offerings so that they can focus on refining their dishes in terms of quality and taste, including from customer feedback. We ordered the following: 1. Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($39.95). 2. Home Stir Fried Beef ($21.95). 3. Bullfrog with Baby Ginger ($19.95). 4. Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork ($15.95). 5. Drunk Oolong (charcoal roasted oolong tea base) x 2 ($5.95 x 2). 6. Lemon Taro Balls ($7.95). We also saw the following: 7. Stir-Fried Sliced Pork with Green Pepper Noodle Soup ($9.99). First 10 customers each day, only pays $1.00. 8. Ink Painting Cocktail ($5.95). The Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish came out on a huge sizzling platter. The BBQ Fish, a Turbot Fish, was very fresh and flaky, easily coming off the bone. There is no head attached like at typical Chinese restaurants but it would not have fit in the platter. The platter had a delicious sauce (soupy consistency and not sweet), luncheon meat slices, lotus root slices, and two other vegetables, along with chili pieces. The entire dish tasted great together with the various flavours. The menu listed it as 2-chili spicy but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Home Stir Fried Beef is tender. It is listed as 3-chili but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Bullfrog with Baby Ginger has the bullfrog cut up in little pieces; no you don't see a whole frog! The meat was actually good but most pieces have bones in it, so it takes time to eat it carefully. There was ginger slices in it but it, but we thought the slices were quite large! The Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork was very delicious! It came in a sizzling plate. The Cauliflower was flavourful and was not crunchy and not too soft. I've never had preserved pork slices before; it was quite good, not as salty as Chinese preserved vegetables. The Drunk Oolong has comes in a small bowl a with gin and ice. On the side, they include pieces of the charcoal roasted oolong tea leaves so you can smell it; quite a good smell indeed. You can also order it without the gin, which is what I ordered for mine (since I don't drink alcohol). It was such a nice drink! The Lemon Taro Balls dessert was pretty. In the centre was a slice of lemon. The customer service was good. There is plenty of indoor table and counter seating, including a small private room at the back. There is also an outdoor patio during warmer weather. There is pop music playing in the background. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two gender-neutral washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-026

Some dishes leaned rich and luxurious, others were lighter and more aromatic, so the meal never felt repetitive. Service was another standout. Attentive without hovering, smooth without being too formal.. exactly the kind of service you hope for in a restaurant like this. Overall, Mott 32 is absolutely the kind of place I'd come back to for a special dinner, celebration, or just one of those nights when you want the meal to feel a little more elevated than usual.

    Finally back for dim sum…read more First off, they need to fix their reservation system. Don't accept 1:45pm reservations if the dining room closes at 2pm. Also, when we call to check if dim sum is being served, it makes sense to inform us of the dining room closure instead of having us come in anyway. We settled for eating in the lounge which ended up being good because bartender, Aiki?, was excellent as our server. Really great. Ordered the following: King prawn Har gow: standard. Not worth the premium Mott charges. Miso black cod dumpling: not good. Wouldn't order again Shredded Peking Duck Spring Roll, Sliced Vegetable : Excellent. We loved this! Nice and crunchy. Delicious duck inside. Good vinegar dipping sauce. Good volume Hot & Sour Iberico Pork Shanghainese Soup Dumplings: Fantastic and unique. The dumplings don't really need dipping sauce since inside there is a hot and sour soup along with pork. These are unique and delicious. Fried Wagyu beef taro croquette : pretty good but really tasted like a Jamaican patty Cold noodle with shredded duck : very generous with meat. Honestly a lot more than any other restaurant that serves this. To be fair no one charges this much either so it should. Flavour could be stronger but certainly decent. Fresh Mango, Coconut, Glutinous Rice Roll: nice fresh dessert. Our favourite. Frozen xiao long bao with chocolate and nut: Tastes like a mochi. Not bad. Dragonball Zen - fun name. Delicious drink. Jasmine Dragon Ball Infused Tanqueray Gin / Peach Liquor Lime / Rose Water / Mint / Seltzer Over $200 for this meal before tip. It's premium an debatable if with it. Will be back but just occasionally.
