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. It was also rung up as 2 ackee and saltfish because they hadn't updated their system yet, which was rather odd.

Bought the jerk and stew chicken. First off, they give a generous portion! Especially for the $4.99…read morelunch special, you are really getting a lot (see photos!). 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? And for my lactose sensitive friends, you might also feel it in your gut! But still an enjoyable dish!

There was still a decent spread of food at this time, minus your typically dinner time additions. Nice: Peking Duck, Dim-Sum, Desserts. Not so much: More veg, no chicken wings? Overall, it was really just average. IMO, Dragon Pearl/Legend and Mandarin are still top in the GTA.

Went for the 5pm opening for dinner. There were a few people waiting already. Once open, the…read moreadmitting people in was a bit unorganized. On being seated, we were given a ticket for the lobster tail, 1 oyster and a piece of durian. We were also told of the 1hr and 45 mins time limit, which they do let you know time is up in 10mins. Service was very attentive with the serving staff continuously clearing the dirty dishes or getting any requests. The food quality is just OK. The dessert options were lacking. Just a lot of mousse cakes of the same flavour. No standard buffet dessert like tofu fah, waffle or crème caramel. Within 1/2 hour of leaving the restaurant, let's just say, my body was rejecting the food all night. Had to take a tablet to help stop it. I called them to inform than there was concern with their food and they didn't seem too concerned.

We sat at a table with a view of the racetrack. Many tables have a great view since seating is on…read moresplit levels. Every table has their own lamp (which is awkwardly placed since it's hard to see the person diagonally or directly across from you) and a tv to watch the races. We came on a Thursday night and had the 8 oz prime rib with 2 lobster tails. For members it's $19.99 and non-members it's $29.99. My aunt commented that my uncle and I were eating all our veggies first. This is because they were cooked so well and very tasty. A downfall with ordering prime rib and steak is that there's a high chance that your meat will come out too cooked for your liking. Three people ordered medium rare and it was served just under medium well. The NY cheesecake did not taste like other NY cheesecakes I've had before. The crust was too soft and the centre was very airy and not firm. The brownie was alright. I suspect that their desserts are bought and not made in-house. Even though there weren't any races the night we went it was still a good experience.

The restaurant has an amazing view of the entire racetrack area. The restaurant's decor is nothing special. -1 points for food crumbs being on chairs. FOOD 5/5: There's no way I could rate $14.99 for a delicious prime rib and two lobster tails anything less than 5 star. But regardless, the prime rib was cooked to perfection. The lobster tails seem previously frozen as they're hard to remove from shells, and lack butter to dip. Regardless amazing value (Thurs and Friday nights only). SERVICE 4/5: Good service but nothing spectacular. Came on a popular specials night so the servers had a lot on their "plates." Still very friendly and attentive when we needed anything.

On top of that, there's a dry meat corner & a fried stuff corner. They cover a lot of ground, eg there's both dry & gravy chili chicken. The spread is probably big because it's also used for takeout (I saw staff scooping food from the buffet into a container a few times). The food is mostly of decent quality. Best of all, they're really cheap: Saturday dinner was $17.99 plus tax. They get 4.5 stars. The fried rice was tasteless but the veg Hakka noodles were pretty good. The Butter Naan was decent as naan but a bit dry for butter naan. Butter chicken used tandoori chicken, giving extra flavour & had a very rich sauce (shared with the paneer makhani). It was especially good. There were quite a few desserts: fruit, 2 mini cakes, ice cream & Indian deserts, Both mini cakes were dry. The Indian desserts & fruit were decent. There were 6 ice cream flavours but 3 were super icy & hard & 2 were super soft.

It wasn't too busy for dinnertime, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The buffet offered a wide variety of options, and everything was well presented. The dessert section was definitely the highlight for me and the best part of the meal. That said, I do feel the price was a bit high for a buffet-style restaurant. Overall, it was a great experience, just slightly overpriced for what it offers.

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.

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.

The food is still okay, but I would say their other location (Dragon Legend) is probably the place to be.

I have been here twice, two years apart. After my glowing review I decided to come back…read more Unfortunately, what I didn't fully understand was that to show up on a Saturday night without a reservation (for a Chinese buffet?) would result in a 1.75 hour wait. But I waited it out in their tiny waiting area. When I got in, the food was good but not great. I later learned why... I got terribly sick during my visit and spent the rest of the evening with a stomach bug. Did I get it here? Before my visit? I dunno, but I don't think it was related to the food itself. So I will let my 2024 review (which I posted under the wrong location at the time) apply to this one. PS: the room I was seated at this time had a magnificent 20' tall waterfall. 2024 Review: I have never been on a cruise ship or two a resort hotel, but I imagine the experience I had here would be comparable. Finding this place, which is located in a commercial or industrial warehousing district, would be challenging without GPS. Upon pulling up we thought it might have been an old hotel at one point. The entrance is grand, though, and nicely decorated. When we walked in we were met at a greeter station and introduced to a guy who was our "guide" around the buffet. He pointed out the various stations and featured entrees as well as his favorites (I suspect they are told what to say), and then led to the "blue room". Named because it is entirely blue in an almost Disney-esque way, it had one wall composed entirely of a fish tank! We took turns getting our food and watching our toddler, and there were lots of options here. Of note, nothing was especially great but nothing was terrible either. Many of the American-Chinese dishes were missing, but in their place were more things geared for kids. They had a full dessert station with lots of pies and cakes and cookies. They didn't have a lot of seafood but that was fine with me. They had sushi and a prime ribbing carving area. They had a koi pond and a panda display and a gift shop (!). In all, it was like walking through a movie based on a Chinese buffet. This is the flagship restaurant of the Mandarin chain and not all are like this. They told us about their signature "sweet and sour chicken meatballs", which are like sweet and sour chicken except each piece is the size of a golf ball. I remembered these were common in Toronto and not in the USA and now I know why. I don't think the food was better than average, but the experience was mindblowing. No doubt it is built into the price, but what a fun experience it was to come here. I would love to come back for a special occasion.

Price is $55.99 per adult and for senior (65+), there's 20% off the adult price listed. The buffet price is a bit expensive but reasonable in comparison to other buffets. There is a variety of food to choose from including seafood, meats, noodles and veggie dishes to choose from. There's a Peking Duck section and a "noodle bar" as well. My favourite was the sashimi section and it was regularly refilled whenever I went to get more food. Personally, the highlights of the buffet is the seafood and the herbal soup. They even have lamb skewers in the hot food section! Overall, a good dining experience and service was adequate. The servers came around to pick up plates and check in regularly. Received our drinks in a timely manner. No major complaints except restaurant was a bit dark where we were sat so it'd be nice to have a bit more lighting.

This is my FAVORITE restaurant to visit whenever I'm in Canada!…read more One of my uncles took me to Dragon Legend for the 1st time a few years ago and it has been on my must visit list every time I'm in Canada. It has a nice variety of dishes and my favorite thing to get is the Peking Duck (very glad that this is available for lunch and dinner). The restaurant is spacious - lots of seating available for small and large groups. The recent addition of claw machines is a nice touch for kids and adults who would like to try their hands at catching some stuffed animals and prizes. It was a highlight for both of my sons when we took them here last year. My most recent visit was this past week when I was in Canada for a work trip and got to spend a few days with family in the Markham area before going to downtown Toronto for work conference. Highly recommend checking out Dragon Legend if you are looking for a good buffet with a nice range of delicious foods.
