Lunch at All-You-Can-Eat Japanese restaurant in Pickering. Ordered way too much food for two! Can't walk out of the place so full! The food was great and came out really fast. Had to leave some behind, such a shame! Just could not eat any more. read more

Very enjoyable and fast sushi buffet. I love this trend of ordering by ipad. You get a glimpse of the food, and you can easily order more and more. Our food was tasty and seemed very fresh. The all important sashimi seemed very fresh indeed. Service was attentive, the decor is very modern and tasteful, and it's overall a delight to find this kind of restaurant in Pickering. read more

Fresh and good food! I reserved a table for 12 guests and everyone went home satisfied. Sushi servings are just right. Sashimis are fresh and doesn't have that funky smell. read more

I've been back here a few times since my initial visit since this seems to be the go-to place for my friends who still live in Pickering. They offer a few rolls here that you can't seem to get anywhere else. I came on a very busy night and the service was ABYSMAL. I'm sorry, as an AYCE restaurant, if you can't hack it when its busy, you're failing. We were ignored by a bunch of waiters, took over 20 minutes to get beverages to the table and they ran out of some of our favourite dishes. Took over 20 minutes to pay and I swore off the place after that. However, since my friends like it so much, I gave it another try this week. Service is nothing to write home about and its gone downhill since I first came here. Servers really don't care at all about listening to you when you speak. They walk away before you're finished speaking and then forget anything you've asked for that's not been punched into the iPad. This isn't surprising though, as I noted in my previous review. Food comes out pretty fast here and everything was good, but not great. Dragon roll was good, dynamite roll was boring. Cheese wontons are always good but the beef short ribs were BORING. Nothing done to them and they weren't very good. I just can't bring myself to like this place again. I was so turned off by the last time I came that I haven't returned and probably won't again. There are better sushi joints around that have friendly, attentive staff and better quality food. It's an okay place if you don't like Makimono (which is horrid now) but do yourself a favor, make the drive to whitby and go to Tatemono for quality food and better service every time. read more

I have been here a few times, always at off peak hours, and am still impressed. While the Sushi pieces are actually on the smallish side, the quality and variety is great and the price/value work out well. We focused on the Japanese menu items and everything was great. Service was friendly and fast. All in all a great find. read more

I come here every now and then for all you can eat Japanese food and the quality and service have always been ok. Had this restaurant still provide the same quality I would give three stars, but on this occasion it has brought me to leave a bad review :( I love sashimi and eat it enough to know when it is of good quality. Usually they serve okay salmon sashimi, but on this occasion, once I've put the bite sized piece in my mouth I felt immediately repulsed. I've never been disgusted by sashimi before, and managed to force myself to swallow it as I did not want to waste food. I wasn't thinking too smart at the time, I thought what could happen jus finish it and get it over with. I had forgotten that food poisoning was a very real thing especially with raw fish. I turned to my mother, who I was dining with and she agreed that the sashimi didn't taste very fresh and urged me to not touch the rest we had ordered. I got home an hour later, feeling sick and rushing to the toilet, I write this review with disappointment and to warn others of the lack of quality they serve in their food. Please don't serve us bad sashimi! read more

Was passing by and saw this restaurant. Decor looked nice so we decided to try it out for lunch. First thing I noticed was the waitress looked like she was from a zombie movie. Expressionless... service was okay but man, you could see she either had a bad day or that she hated her job. Food was okay but nothing fantastic. I ordered 3 rolls combo and everything was kinda drenched in soy sauce... I didn't really want sauce on my rolls but oh well no choice... soy sauce rolls for me! The food looked nothing like pictures on their menu, pretty ordinary stuff. Will not come back. read more

This is possibly one of the best AYCE restaurant in the Pickering. As a matter of fact, it's one of the best in GTA. The sushi selection is pretty broad, and the quality is excellent. If you don't feel like sushi you can always have their Thai food. Overall fantastic experience! read more

This is my favourite AYCE place in the area. I prefer Dragon Rolls over Makimono personally. I like the combination of sushi and thai items that they offer and the iPad ordering is nice and easy to use. I have my favourite food items that I order every time which include cheese wontons, chicken pad thai, beef tataki, Philadelphia roll, Green Dragon Roll, gyoza and general tao chicken. Sometimes items you order do not make it to your table, but that usually only happens when they are busy. When I came on a Monday night it wasn't busy and everything we ordered, we received and quickly. Also came on a Monday for lunch and it was the same. The service was great. read more

My mother and I stopped by here today for lunch. We ordered sushi, chicken pad Thai, and some vegetable and meat rice dishes. We found the all the food to be delicious, and was served promptly. We especially loved the chicken pad Thai, and I recommend it. The servers there were direct but friendly and quick, making the dining experience more enjoyable. They also have tablets that you order from, which can be a fun and convenient experience for some, but confusing for others. We personally liked it. It was a little expensive, coming to $38 for the two of us. However, I have been charged much more for buffet lunches in the past, and the food quality really helped my overall impression. If I could, I would rate this restaurant 4.5/5. read more

I've been here numerous times with no issue; however, today was just terrible. Terrible enough for me to want to write this review. Firstly, my friend and I went at 3:30. There were eight people including my friend and I. We waited an hour to receive our order. When our order came, the sesame and general Tao chicken we ordered was ice cold so we didn't end up eating it. Second, their deserts have gotten a lot smaller in portion size since the last time I've been here. Lastly, the washrooms were disgusting with the urinal clogged and a pool of urine on the floor next to it. read more

My favourite sushi resturant in Pickering. Fast service, good space inside in a good location. Downfall is the parking that is a little limited if you come during a busier part of the day. The sushi is well made, not falling apart and they are good on accomdating big groups. Every time I'm there is with a group of 6 or more. read more

After my recent visit to Dragon Rolls I can safely say that I will never be coming back ever again. I came to this restaurant with some friends and the service was absolutely abysmal. To start off, It took almost 2 hours for any food to arrive at our table. Most of the orders that were put into their tablet system didn't even make it to our table and when it did, the food was mediocre at best. We had mentioned the lack of service to one of the waitresses and requested to speak to the manager. He refused to come speak to us, despite visibly being in the back room. This is irresponsible behaviour and definitely no way to run a business. After paying far too much for a meal that was no where near "all I could eat", we left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. If you are looking for a quality restaurant with good service, look elsewhere. read more

The absolute worst excuse for sushi I have ever seen and tasted. Where do I start? Appetizers were mediocre, didn't make or break any decision to dine there again. The spicy tuna roll was so bland and tasteless, the spider roll was a joke, instead of claws coming out of the top they used shredded cucumbers and again extremely lacked flavour and depth. The one thing I could count on at all restaurants is the sushimi, at Dragon Rolls - again lacklustre, cold dead unseasoned fish. Upsetting as we were looking forward to a good authentic sushi restaurant to enjoy a birthday dinner. Do not waste your money here. I'd go to makimono or any other restaurant for that matter. read more

Awesome ATCE sushi, such a vast array of options, fresh and tasty! Fast service and you can order as little or as much as you like. A perfect place to go in a group! read more

Great Selection. Great Decor. iPad Menu. Food was excellent. Service was very attentive.great selection of hand rolls. Interesting selections not found in usual buffets. Glad I found this place in the east end .. Would go again read more

Went on a Saturday. My friends vowed that it is better than Makimono. AYCE dinner at $24.99. Service was slow. Sashimi pièces were pathetic; thinly-sliced and given out sparingly. If you ordered 10, they will cut 5 pièces into 10. The photos on the IPad are not représentative of what they bring to your tables. For example, a photo of 1 long grilled eggplant will actually look 4 (small) square pieces of eggplants. Among others: skewers/beef ribs/sashimis and rolls. Did not take any pictures, too depressing to post ;( Go somewhere else. read more

Came here for lunch with my sister for the AYCE Lunch buffet. It wasn't busy at all, we came around 12:00 and there were only two tables occupied. Its very similar to the Spring Sushi, you order from an Ipad menu and your food is dropped off. The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL, this was my first time visiting I was really pleased that Pickering now has a decent AYCE. The menu is very similar to that of Spring Sushi it has a huge variety gives you your apps, sushi, thai dishes and dessert. The food was good, the sushi is good but not great (knocked off a stat for that). But hey for 14.99 it was fantastic. The plates that are served are in small portions which is great because you can order more, but at least you wont be wasting food. The servers were great, picked up empty plates right away. I will be back here again if I am ever craving for sushi. read more

Horrible. The servers will bring you one item at a time. For example, they will drop one beef skewer that looks like beef jerky off to your table and then 10 mins later they will bring two pieces of tempura. Ultimately, if you order ten items, it will take about 1 hour for you to get those ten items. We had to tell them to stop bringing food because over an hour after we ordered, food was still slowly trickling in. And everything is in mini portions. I really would not recommend this place. Not worth the money or the time. read more

I got takeout from here and they were super sweet and hygienic when we came in to pick up our order! We ordered online (due to covid) and got a 10% off discount, plus an additional 5% for paying with cash in store. I am vegetarian so I got the Cheese Wontons (8pcs), Mango Cheese Roll (only found at this restaurant- other places only have mango) and a few Yam Tempura Rolls. The wontons were not as good as I was hoping, I believe there was a bit of chives mixed inside but I am unsure. The mango cheese rolls were pretty good, and the yam tempura rolls were alright, I personally like it when the yam rolls are fully cooked/soft and the tempura adds crunch, but these yam pieces were unfortunately a bit undercooked meaning they were still a bit hard - which happens at many sushi places. We also asked for extra ginger and spicy mayo which they gladly accommodated, and they also gave extra soy sauce as well. Overall, pretty good though! read more

Definitely one of the better sushi restaurants in the area. Though the prices may be a little on the higher side than your typical sushi buffets, with the lunch buffet costing apprx. $16, the larger than average menu is sure to make up for any discrepancy in the price. Not only is there a large variety of hand rolled sushi, but even the lunch menu provides patrons with a rather expansive selection of warm foods to choose from. Highly recommend - 4/5 read more

Terrible place to eat... if you can even call it eating. Food was never brought to the tables with barely a plate or two coming in a 2.5 hour span for a full party of people. Waiters were unresponsive and rude, while the manager actively refused to speak to the table. When asked for a discount for the poor service, the wait staff threatened to call the police. 0/10 would never come again. read more

At first glance, the restaurant seems very modern and the tablet menus are great. Unfortunately the servers are miserable and the tables & tablets for ordering are all very dirty. We were seated at a table that still had dishes and hadn't been wiped. I could understand if they were super busy but the place was half empty. The food however was very good. Smaller portions and cuts than I used to but still ok. I'd have given this a much higher eating if the servers weren't like robots and they could be bothered to give the tables a quick wipe. read more

An hour and half for delivery. Never ordering from here again! They said it was on the way. Still took 20 minutes... read more

While the sushi and sashimi are of great quality for AYCE, we were a large group and you would think that the ipad ordering system would facilitate this but not so. The serving staff brought our food to another table and cleard our order, so we had to re-order. Then they took a long time to bring our food. Then they started to bring us our previous order.... The food was good, ambiance was good, but for our large group the service was lacking. read more

Used to be my absolute favorite place but boy has it gone down hill. Apparently they have a new chef and the food was terrible! Service was terrible and the ice cream was old. We told several waitresses and they just said "ok" and walked away. Sad to say I will not be returning. read more

I went with a fairly large group but that is no excuse to have to have to wait as long as an hour for incomplete orders. We made reservations so this establishment should be able to prepare well before hand. One thing that was cool us order food through an iPad but was poorly implemented. Even though you get to order food wirelessly you still have to wait for the waiters to confirm the order and send it to the kitchen. This really defeats the ipad's capability and might as well go back to paper and pencil. Bad customer service. Never going back. read more

I feel like the quality has gone downhill.. tinnyyy portion size for sashimi and amount of 'salmon' in the hand roll! read more

Its a great deal for me and my daughter... lots of options and its less than $5 for her (she's 3.5yrs) I've never had a complaint on their service. Not the place to go for sashimi (IMO) but lots of great options overall. read more

I havent had a good exerience at Dragon Rolls the 2 times that I came here. The service is always poor, and the quality of food is okay. The last time I was there, I had to flag down the waiters to refill my tea cup and had to eventually ask for "hot" tea, as they kept pouring me cold green tea. Also, I don't eat a ton of raw fish, so I usually order from the wok menu. All the beef was always dry, tough and very chewy and cold (very disappointing!). Also, it was odd that they kept storing customers' dirty dishes with left over food, right next to our table on the floor. read more

Dragon Rolls - Not sure why they stored all the dirty dishes next to my table.... - Japanese Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

I've been to this restaurant a few times and have enjoyed my dinning experience. This afternoon I decided to come to the Dragon Rolls with my family for dinner. I have to say I was extremely disappointed with the food and the service. The waiter was extremely rude to my family when we politely asked for a fork and spoon for my 7 year old son. He seemed very annoyed that we requested cutleries for my young child. Once the food arrived, my son and daughter asked the waiter if they can have a glass of water; his immediate response was "I am too busy and don't have time to get the water and walked away! Both my kids looked at me in disgust at how unprofessional this waiter was to our table. When our sushi arrived, I again asked the waitress who brought the food if we can have some extra ginger and she smiled and said no problem. I waited 10 minutes and still no ginger with my sushi! My husband politely asked the same waitress if we can have ginger with our meals and were again ignored. I had to go to the front and ask the manager if ginger could be brought to our table. This time we got our ginger after the 3rd request. I have never in my whole life felt so disrespected and the lack of service received in this restaurant. Even the food which is usually delicious didn't seem fresh and At best was lukewarm. Before we left the restaurant, my husband went to the front to let them know of the service level and the waiter's response was, "ah well!" With so many restaurants in the area, why go to a place where they don't value a client. I'm stunned that this restaurant can stay in business with such unprofessionalism. I hope the owner of this establishment sees my review and trains the staff on customer service. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

Great sushi options, the sushi platter is very filling and cheap. Customer service could be better.

My favourite AYCE sushi place outside of Toronto. Rice is always perfect, the maki are tightly wrapped, the sushi is beautifully cut, and sushi eaters can comfortably bring their non sushi friends. Love it, I recommend it to everyone. read more

iPad is cool and convenient, but it doesn't replace the quality of the food. Servers were nice, except there were multiple orders that were missed. We were in this place for over 2 hours and had to cancel some of the orders because the food took so long and our dessert came first. read more

This place is fantastic, I love the food and not just one thing in focus but. Everything about it, the place looks beautiful and the people are nice and service is great Their is no noise and the all you can eat is what I always go for. read more

Absolute, utter, sheer and unmatched garbage. Food was bland the service was slow the fried milk burned out mouths to a crisp and even the fountain drinks were sub par. Never again. read more

Would post no stars at all if possible. Went to this establishment after a sporting event with my fellow teammates looking forward to a good meal but instead treated to horrendously long wait times for food and equally disastrous service. One of my friend's tables was not served any food at all beyond a few morsels at the beginning and after bringing it to the wait staffs attention, she was denied any further discount to the meal cost nor an opportunity to speak to the manager. They actually threatened to call the police if we wanted to pursue this matter further and refuse to pay the full amount. Absolutely pathetic. Skip over this place, you are better off going to a nearby McDonald's. read more

Terrible service and mediocre food. It's very clear that they invested a lot of money and time in aesthetics here (modern décor, decorative plates, elaborate food plating)- but their showiness of an all-you-can-eat iPad menu cannot make up for their clear failures. I will not be going back. Throughout our meal, the staff was entirely engrossed in their own conversation up at the front desk. There we extended periods of time where we were just waiting for simple things because they were laughing and chatting amongst themselves for long periods of time. There was a delay between my entrée and my friend's by almost 20 minutes in the already slow service, making my food grow cold so as not to eat without her. The food was simply -eh-. It's something I would expect out of a fast-food place. Nearly every thing was bland, even their miso soup. How?! There are FAR better places in Durham to go, at a better price, too. Don't bother giving this place your business. read more

I've been here twice now and am a fan. I like the ipad ordering system and the quality of the sushi was excellent. The Pepper Tuna Tartare I could eat daily and they have a raw salmon dish in citrus that is incredible. read more

First time here for Sunday lunch. Got seated quickly but had to ask three times for a glass of water. Some ordered dishes not received and asked for extra ginger (only had four little pieces for two people) which we never received. Food was so so. Also, extremely loud. read more
