    Daniel Chen is the nicest, most friendly, restaurant owner with the best food in Canada. He accommodated our family so nicely and granted every one of our wishes. So happy with his service :). Best wishes Daniel, thanks for having us, Adam

    Honestly these days there's not great value out of this place. On the weekends they break out crab legs but after tax and tip it's almost 40 bucks a person even if you don't buy drinks. I understand it's all you can eat but I don't know many people that can get their money's worth for this place unless you're only or mostly eating seafood. I'd rather just order Chinese from my local place and save over 60 dollars (based on 2 people) but this place is more of a special occasion place for us. It was a relative's birthday as it usually is when we come to this place. We've been here a bunch of times and there are some changes that they've done lately. They've added some raw fish to the sushi area but I noticed they don't make any actually sushi (nigiri or maki) with raw fish. They have like 3 varieties or so of raw fish (red tuna, salmon, white tuna) to the side. I tried the red tuna and the salmon and they didn't taste that great and/or they didn't seem very chilled. Health hazard? Maybe some of the hot food on my plate warmed it up a bit but it just wasn't as good. I've had sashimi at all you can eat buffets in Miami and it's night and day. These days a weekend cost if you don't eat seafood is NOT worth it IMO. 40 dollars after tax and tip is a lot for Chinese food considering you can get a lot of Chinese food for well under 30 dollars to feed more than 3 people and this place is much more for just one person. I didn't see too many dishes empty so they do fill them up fast, even the crab which I had none of and they do have a decent variety of food but it's not worth 40 dollars per person during the weekends (busy time).

    I'm surprised at how hot and good the food actually was at this location. You would think it would be a run down location but it's pretty nice inside. I was pleasantly surprised since the last few times i've had Mandarin (at other locations) I wasn't too happy afterwards. I already want to go back for more!

    I have been coming to the Mandarino for years. Over time they have changed and each location also seems to cater to their local community. Every location has the water feature in the front Every location has little umbrellas in their signature drinks This restaurant has become a place for groups to celebrate special occasions because it can satisfy every guests tastes including Mr. McDonalds That guy can have roast beef, mashed potatoes with gravy, and corn Niblett and a casa salad Mr chinois will enjoy some asian treats Kids go crazy for the dessert bar and pizza slices Being a pizzaiolo means I am critical of their horrible pizza but it's for kids not for people like me One thing that has changed over the years is a better sushi story with more selection. Sadly it still is a generic offering and their customers don't mind. Jiro who? They ask For 35 years they have truly offered a big spread and a chance for customers to fill their belly to the brim (which they do) with a very fresh offering of Chinese food One thing that the group table commented on was how the plates are smaller. That just means you take 2 extra trips to the trough and battle through the crowd around the torpedo shrimps In order to beat the owner and push him into poverty by eating more than what you pay requires arriving hungry and having a systematic approach to loading your plate on each trip My 3 tips are to enjoy a half portion of soup as your starter and to scope out the hot grill servings where they may have sirloin steak right off the grill. Don't have garlic bread or buns as that can fill you up with empty carbs that can be better served with more kung pao chicken

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The endless tableside-carved meats were all cooked medium-rare and incredibly tender especially the parmesan filet mignon was a standout, and the grilled pineapple was the perfect sweet balance that never disappoint. They also have shrimps, cornbread, and cheeseballs, but these didn't come around as often, so it's worth asking your server if you want to make sure you get some. Sides and appetizers are now ordered via QR code, which makes it way too easy to keep adding more to your table. Dessert option was slim with only gelato as your only option, but the texture wasn't exactly gelato but still a nice sweet finish to the meal. One small note: we were seated at the very beginning of the dining area, so every time the doors opened a cold draft came through, which made things slightly less comfortable, especially for his parents. Overall, the service was attentive, the atmosphere lively, and it was a memorable night celebrating family. Just be mindful of where you're seated and don't be shy to request the special items from your server. Yes the price may scare you off ($75-$80/ person) but the meats alone make it worth it.
