    I was visiting relatives and they wanted to take us here cause it is one of their favorite restaurants. Food was amazing, everything was very tasty, restaurant is very clean and well decorated. Salmon, mussels, pork ribs, steak was the best. Service was outstanding. I want yo go back already. I highly recommend it. Best all you can eat restaurant I have tried.

    My family and I've been coming to this location for years and we really love it. Every staff member is friendly and kind. It's always very clean and tidy. And the food is tasty. I especially love the prime rib station. I also love their general, Tso chicken and honey garlic ribs.

    Best eating experience I've had in quite some time

    Excellent service! Came in at 9, and even though the buffet closed at 9:30 the food was hot and fresh, we were welcomed as soon as we entered by several staff, the serving staff was very sensitive to our needs - my glass was regularly refilled after only a single sip! Very impressed, very happy to come back again. Somewhat pricey... $81.32 for only 3 of us plus tip.

    If I ever had to point my finger to one that served quality service with exceptional fresh food in the GTA, it would be Mandarin.

We made reservations in case but hardly a line unlike the experience at Dragon legend( had reservations but line up for it was still out the door and around building) It was busy but lots of food at the hot tables being refilled often, beverages refreshed and dishes from our table promptly removed. Service was attentive in the dining rooms and friendly by the hostess station. Lunch had enough items to be happy with, but it seemed like they altered the BBQ/Grill station to breakfast foods, like bacon and fried eggs and had a few empty slots where I remember had items previously. Highs: -Black peppered beef cubes very very tender and flavourful - fried noodles on point - tofu pudding dessert had a gingered sugar syrup to drizzle on top Lows: -peking duck seemed more hard instead of crispy skin - fried egg Left the restaurant very stuffed, kids were happy. They felt this buffet was decent and had more flavour than the buffet on Royal Caribbean. Was worth the trip here today, would return again.

The food is still okay, but I would say their other location (Dragon Legend) is probably the place to be. They've gotten rid of the hand pulled noodles which was always one of my favs. The menu items are still decent, but nothing spectacular. It's solid... Really a 3.5+

I'd call this a little below decent and terrible variety. The buffet has less choices than a hotel breakfast. There was one small table and both sides has the same thing. There were pancakes, waffles, eggs, sausage, bacon, chicken nuggets, some type of cake thing I didn't eat, plain yogurt, jello, rice pudding and toast. Again it was ok. I had the waffle and French toast. Soggy. The sausage was not very good. Bacon, have to find the good pieces. Same with the eggs. Toast was strange rice pudding was good as well as the little Greek bun things. All in all would probably not return. If the dinner was cheaper maybe try that but if it's anything like the breakfast quality I would say not worth $26 and not cheaper than other options around. Service was friendly though.

We wanted to go to iHop or Dennys, but decided to give the local breakfast buffet a chance, horrible idea. The food was hard and stale. The only thing made fresh was the tater tots which is the only thing on my whole plate that I enjoyed. Also, almost $6 for the tiniest serving of orange juice. Service was okay. They were nice but definitely rushing us, even to pay. Ambiance was okay. Bright and peaceful. Also, I did not check the reviews before going.

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!

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.

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!

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.

There was a pretty big variety of dishes: many Caribbean classics but also some rarer ones. Service was not great - they took a while before asking what I wanted to drink. The food was largely delicious, though nothing was labelled so I wasn't sure what many dishes were. The dishes nearer the entrance were better; e.g. fried chicken & spicy chicken. Split pea soup & peanut porridge/soup (if it was porridge it was too thin) were pretty good. At the back, the goat was pretty bony & not so tasty, the rasta pasta & fried vermicelli were ok & the curry vegetables were so so. The buffet was $21.99 plus tax, a 50% price hike from what is presumably 2020's price on the website.

The chicken is served on a bed of rice and peas with coleslaw (yumm!) and chicken. I found the jerk chicken was delicious and super flavourful. The stew chicken was drier than the jerk chicken but it was still good. I also believe they put butter in their rice - the rice tastes almost... cheesy?
