Dragon Legend

This is a chinese buffet, but it has many asian flavors. The night we went there was an oyster special (2 per person, per take). The peking duck was a highlight, but the duck tasted normal, nothing special. The sushi was pretty average. The chinese dishes were OK, but not fresh and crispy. Seems that they’re sitting for too long in the heating stations.
The décor is pretty interesting and the service was definitely great. I’d go for 3.5 stars, but I’ll give it 4 for the effort. I heard their noodle soups were great, but was too full to try. The deserts are pretty mediocre.

For a AYCE Asian Cuisine place. Dragon Legend is the place to be. Their food selection is more unique. Like Peking Duck, Ginseng Soup, Sweet Shrimp Sashimi, etc.
Pretty busy place though, so best to book ahead of time. Especially on weekends n holidays.

This is probably one of the best asian buffets I’ve ever been to. The whole restaurant was very nice and large. The décor was fantastic.
Lots of selections of food. There is a soup station which I loved. I got spicy beef soup with wontons. It was sooooooooooooo good!
They also had a sushi bar. Everything I got from it was fresh which is pretty surprising for a sushi bar.
Lots of shumai and dim sum to choose from. Great selections of everything else too! They also had a grill bar where they grilled items like lotus chicken, udon noodles in spicy sauce and scallion pancakes.
Tons of desserts and there is also a ice cream station!
Next time I go to Canada I will definitely go back here!

It’s been years since I’ve gone to a Chinese buffet, to the point that the places I remember don’t operate anymore. I really didn’t have any expectations for the food, the atmosphere, or the price. My party of 20 successfully made a reservation for Sunday lunch and on the day of the tables were set and ready for us. I was pleased to find Dragon Legend well decorated and very clean on first impression. The interior of the restaurant actually quite a lot of seating available for large and small groups as well as three VIP rooms to the side available for larger groups might want some privacy. The main dining area has two large projectors showing classical Chinese cuisine videos. The actual area with the food is quite small but that is quite nice because you get to see at a glance all your options available, there are a number of different foods that you could go to such as the Peking duck station the noodle bar, the sashimi station, and the roast beef station. Depending on the day of the week and whether you go for lunch or dinner, availability of items may change. Sunday lunch has a decent variety of options — nothing too heavy and enough variety for us to feel like it was worth $ 22 per person that we paid.
The stations that I mentioned are manned by someone at all times, meaning it is not all self serve. The advantage of this is that people are limited to how much they can take and the food is kept in a sanitary and organized state. For example, only five pieces of sashimi are given each time on a plate so you’ll have to frequent the station if you want more — there is no limit to how many times you go to the station. Seems a bit inconvenient, but definitely encourages trying out more variety and not wasting food.
Things to definitely try are their Peking roast duck and the noodle bar. The roast duck is generously sliced and the tortilla-​like wraps are thin. In addition to the regular cucumber and spring onion toppings they also have crunchy taro bits — kind of like Hickory Sticks — which add texture and flavour. The noodle bar has a lot of variety and may seem confusing, but the noodles are green and purple due to added vegetables in the noodle, and you can choose which soup base as well as which meat to put in. Soup bases include chicken broth, fish soup, and some other bone-​based soup. Meats included charsiu, pork dumpling, chicken I believe –there’s signs with English and Chinese to choose from. The portion is just the right amount to give the noodles a try, but not fill you up so you cannot enjoy the rest of the buffet.
If you’re looking for something traditional and not too filling, grab a bowl of longevity soup. With all the fixings of Chinese soup, the flavour is good and yet the soup is translucent and not oily. The soup will be like another cup or two of tea so it won’t eat up your appetite.
The station to skip for me would be the ice cream, a bit disappointing. I was excited to find they have black sesame and green tea ice cream, as well as chocolate strawberry and sugar-​free cappuccino. They had cones or bowls, and sundae toppings available. You can even DIY and get fruit from the salad bar, the beauty of a self-​serve buffet. Unfortunately the ice cream was somewhere between hard and soft ice cream — a bit odd, and the texture suggested a very low-​quality, air-​filled ice cream. The flavours were more promising by name than actual taste so a few spoons in I was ready to give up. There are other dessert options as they have a full table devoted to cakes and pastries, but don’t have too high of expectations there either. The cakes were average and much of the table suffers from sitting out for a bit too long, especially if you’re a patron looking to maximize your stay until last call.
Overall, the lunch meal was acceptable in price for the quality of the meal — definitely a large variety of options and overall everything was acceptable in taste and freshness. The price is much too high for dinner, no matter what special items they offer (there would probably be lineups anyway). It was good to see that there were still specialty stations open for lunchtime, and I would probably come back for a similar large gathering since there’s something for everyone and saves me brainstorming restaurant options. Further bonus was there was no cake-​cutting/​plating fee — we brought a small cake for the birthday boy and it was taken away for fridge storage with no trouble at all.

As far as Chinese buffets go, this is above average place you can take your visiting over-​seas relatives to. The décor is dark yet romantically lit and moody, and immediately made me feel like I am being hosted by Chinese royalty. Service is fast and friendly and they accommodated us by adding an extra seat to our table when we requested it.
The buffet area is decent sized. Due to it being a Chinese buffet, you will naturally find many of the typical dishes offered at most buffets, including your stir fries, fried crispy items, terriyakis, grilled/​roasts, sushi rolls, seafood, salads, soups, and dessert. As a big fan of dumplings, dim sum and roasted/​grilled meats, I was kept very happy during my stay. The sushi was also pretty good.
The price is not inexpensive but not over the top either. It pays for the quality of food, service, and décor.
We will be back!

my second time here at this yummy buffet and no it is not Mandarin Chinese style, it’s got some REAL authentic Chinese dishes! From the traditional peking duck, to the steamed herbal soup for «longevity» and we could all use some longevity am I right?
It’s the sister restaurant of Dragon Pearl, so same décor, layout and food almost but better.
I would suggest coming at the beginning of meal times because near the middle-​end of the lunch/​dinner rush, they do not refill the stations as well or the food is not pipping hot/​freshly made.
The tea is extra and it’s served in an artful clear pot on a warming candle with these tiny glass cups which my friends swore were the tea light votives. Amateurs! They are green tea shot cups, duh. It’ll save you more room for food =)

Average but lacking quality. Disappointed that there wasn’t lobster, clams, and king crab legs. As well, they lacked fried noodles. Just very basic. They did however have a decent selection of sushi.
We came at 1:30pm, and was it ever busy. I think best to avoid the peak hours.
Overall a not so good experience. Their décor is a little more modern than others. Hopefully one day they’ll have a great selection of seafood.
And here is what I really think:
I have a strong hate for buffets (at the time of writing I couldn’t find a stronger word for hate), so I need to be truly impressed to give a marginal better than 2-​star review.
For starters, the quality of the food was atrocious. The selection was sparse (feels like a soup kitchen has more variety). And to cap cap everything off, the crowd was just insane.
I was thinking, I paid to come here to fight with others for food? I can’t see why they would have multiple food stations; other than the want to cut costs and to watch humanity at its worse — fighting for food while hungry.
For the cost of any buffet, one is always better off with full table service. You won’t gorge yourself with trash and regret the next day and you’ll feel much more civil. Paying that tip all of a sudden makes sense and you’ll thank yourself for being so wise.

You’re paying 40 bucks after tax and everything for AYCE Asian food. Now I’m writing this review based on other AYCE that I’ve ate too. I think this is reasonably price based on several factors:
The variety
The venue
Quality of some dishes
They got some Chinese soups, a salad bar, a seafood bar with crab legs, sushi bar (unlimited shrimp sashimi on weekends), Peking duck, dimsum, dessert bar and much more. They also have a cool station where you can try out their handmade potato or spinach noodles in your own selected soup (beef or fish)
The venue looks like some traditional legendary Chinese castle with red wooden chairs and tables. A VERY BIG VENUE
In AYCE you would kinda expect the food to be shittier than a la carte, but some of the dishes were actually good! I’ve discovered dishes that I like that I’ve never had before cause of the variety.
I do recommend this place, if you want to try it out.

Came here on mothers day for dinner because i’ve heard a lot of great reviews about the AYCE peking duck. Be aware that if you are coming on the weekend to make reservation ahead of time or you’re looking at waiting for at least 30 minutes for a table. The restaurant itself is quite large with lot’s of tables.
Food quality is standard for an ayce buffet. They had many varieties from western to japanese to asian cuisine. I was very excited for the AYCE peking duck and I thought it was standard. You can definitely get better peking duck from a regular chinese set course menu restaurant. I think you can tell the duck is not fresh.
Some highlight items/​must gets: Sashimi (they will have someone serve you the sashimi as there is a limit for each order, but you can go back unlimited number of times if you want more), the deep fried oyster (take the breading out of the oyster and they’re delish), the crab legs (very salty but quite meaty). My fiancé quite enjoyed the meaty dishes (chinese style fry chicken with the shrimp chip and beef cube dish with veggies). I also enjoyed the made to order noodle station as well.
Dessert: huge variety but definitely a must get is the sesame ice cream. Everyone always lines up for that one!
Service is good, they will clean up your dishes as needed and they will refill the items at the buffet quite quickly once they notice there is not much left.
Overall, would go back if you want variety but wouldn’t want to go back often.

We went here for a celebration and it was packed. It’s a very large buffet; larger than Mandarin with a lot of interesting décor. The food was however too salty for me. It’s a good place to try at least once but I’m unsure if I would return.
Food: 3/​5, a lot of selection which is nice to have and I got to try a lot of different types of food from traditional americanized chinese food to custom noodles and sushi. The special lobster you get for dinner was good too. The food while it tasted good was also very salty which wasn’t great. If you want to try a bit of everything, this place is good for that.
Service: 3/​5, not the best for a buffet, they didn’t clear the dishes fast enough nor were drinks refilled. They can learn a bit from Mandarin on this one.
Ambiance: 1/​5, very odd, a lot of weird videos playing but cool décor but their seating is TERRIBLE, the chairs are very large and literally touching each other side to side and too close to other tables so it’s very difficult to GET OUT to get your food which is the whole point of buffets. They need to fix this one.
Price: 2/​5, it’s ok at around $ 30+ per person but I think buffets these days are not as great as they used to be for the price they charge.

Good food. Excellent décor. But heck it’s busy as… well…you know. Smart thing to do… MAKE A RESERVATION!!! We did for Mother’s Day. Parking was not plentiful and when we walked in, it was extremely crowded! Luckily with a reservation, you bypass the crowds and get taken in like a VIP!

This place will surely put you in a blissful state of food coma.
Hits:
–Peking duck wraps
–Salmon sashimi: each piece melts in your mouth
–Noodles in a spicy beef soup: this is very spicy though!
–Noodles and a duck piece in a chicken broth soup
–General Tso’s Chicken
–Har gow
–Crème brûlée
–Sesame ice cream
Misses:
–Sweet and sour pork
–Beef short ribs (Kalbi): chewy meat and too much fat
–Crab legs: cold
–Tuna sashimi
–White tuna sashimi
–Barbeque pork: dry
–Siu mai
Interesting notes:
–They had kimchi, a Korean fermented cabbage side dish
–There are big screens with CCTV, which I assume is a Chinese TV channel, playing
Weekend dinner buffet cost $ 32.99 per person.

Giving my honest review despite not caring much for buffets.
My family came here for the first time for my brother’s birthday dinner. Right when you walk in, you can see the sea of people up and about plopping heaps of food onto plates. At first glance, there definitely was a lot of variety. They had a sushi bar, a few sections for cooked food, a seafood bar, a dessert bar, and a noodle bar. Also worth noting is the Peking duck that was served, which is a rarity among Chinese buffets. Being vegan limited me from eating the majority of the food, and I ended up eating sushi maki and steamed vegetables (which I have no problem eating, but definitely not worth it at a buffet). And of the food that I ate, none of it was stellar. Everything just tasted. average. I just expected for them to have a little more flavour in their food and a few more vegan friendly options than what was presented.
Anyway, I was quite disappointed with my experience here, after having heard many great reviews. If you are vegan, I would pass coming here as you won’t have much to choose from. You’d be better off spending your $ 35 (yep, dinner on a weekend is $ 30.99) on a non-​buffet meal. However, my non-​vegan family appreciated the wide selection they were granted. But the verdict was that the quality and taste was just average.
The take away is that if you eat meat, like variety and prioritize quantity, go for it; else, you can skip this one.

Food selection was decent. Food quality was below average. Most dishes were just passable, nothing was very tasty. Service was below average. Took a while to clean up our plates and only came once for water refill. Best thing about this place was the cute tea setup ($ 2.30 charge per person)
Décor is very nice.
At the $ 11.99 lunch Tuesday special, it’s OK. Definitely not worth the regular lunch price of $ 15.99.

About: I have been to Dragon Legend four times since they first opened, and it has surpassed the other places to become my favorite buffet. As many people probably know; Dragon Legend is the sister restaurant to the equally popular Pearl Dragon. They even share the same interior décor with red walls, and decorated with Chinese ornaments, and television screens hung on the walls. Its spacious dining area allows the customers to have a more enjoyable dining experience and not have to maneuver in cramped spaces.
Food: The buffet selection at Dragon Legend is abundant enough without overcompensating quantity over quality. Their buffet options showcases an array selection of both Western and Asian dishes. Additionally, they also have a sushi/​sashimi station, Teppanyaki grill station, Peking Duck, and an impressive dessert station. There is a good amount of choices for the average diner, and should be something for everyone if you like buffets. One of the main reasons why I love Dragon Legend; they offer Peking Duck. The staff would place the cooked duck onto a platter, and everything is self-​served. Just note that on extremely busy days; they do limit each customer to four pancakes containing Peking Duck on each visit to the station. I saw a girl on a moderate night (around 8:30 pm) taking 10 pieces and they didn’t say anything, so it really depends on the nights. The crispy texture of the skin was absolutely divine with the sauce.
Price: The weekend price may be slightly steep at $ 29.99 for Friday-​Sunday dinners, but I thought it was pretty worth it. The quality of the food was rather good for a buffet, and could justify for the cost (for example, you could load up on Peking duck). The price for their Monday to Thursday is comparable to other nearby buffets at $ 24.99 per adult. I dined here on four occasions (and on different days); Monday, Thursday and two Saturdays. I was surprised to find that no matter what days I went; it was completely busy around the late dinner time (7:00 pm’ish. I haven’t tried out their lunch buffet yet but the prices are as followed: M-​F ($ 13.99) and Sat-​Sun ($ 19.99).
Service: On all visits; I thought that the service was excellent as the staff were attentive, polite, and promptly removed our used dishes. The wait for a table didn’t take too long when we had a reservation.

Been here about 4 times. The selection for sushi is very surprising. See pics. Food is good. Great for big groups! One of the better buffets.
Service is good!
Craving to go back soon!

This place is LIVE! Get to pig out in a clubbing environment. Literally this establishment reminds me of tao nightclub in Vegas. Modern oriental feel to it. Lots of booths around the restaurant. Two seating rooms with one main food room.
Food: (based on long weekend service) lots of variety and quality was very good. All dishes were stocked efficiently and timely. Missing star is in the sushi department since I love sushi and the typical sushi rolls were mediocre at best. They so serve sweet shrimp, salmon and hamachi.
Highlights: ayce Peking duck, longevity soup, 3 colored hand cut noodles, unlimited crab legs
Service: really efficient on a busy long weekend. Dirty plates were always cleared and they provided warm wet napkins at the end
Décor: traditional oriental furnishing with a modern twist. The washroom is presented like the clubs downtown– the sinks are unisex and then split into private washroom. The lights are dimmed to give a more afterlife ambiance. In the room I was seated in there were two huge projectors that was playing the nba game
Overall, I definitely recommend this place (since my picky parents were very impressed)

My wife and I went for lunch on a Friday afternoon at Dragon Legend. The reason I mention the day and time is because this will affect the quality of the food greatly.
Perhaps if you attend Dragon Legend on a Saturday afternoon, you will find a wonderful variety of delicious items just waiting to be devoured.
The lunch menu on the weekday has little variety and a lot of items that are generally offered at dinner are not offered at lunch.
My advice, Dragon Legend should save some money on the décor and improve there lunch menu.
For you patrons, don’t go on a weekday afternoon. Spend a little more money and go on a Saturday or Sunday.

One of the best buffets around here. Also one of the more expensive ones ($ 32.99 Fri, Sat, Sun & Holidays).
Interior is beauuutiful. Way better than Mandarins…-_–
The food selection was big. Dim Sum, Sushi, Grilled stuff, dessert.etcetc. But as expected the food was only decent. Nothing amazing.
Maybe because I’m Chinese and I’m not a big fan of Westernized Chinese food.
As a child my mama would tell me to avoid eating anything with rice and noodles in it. Such as fried rice, fried noodle, noodle soup, and sushi.
Because 1. It fills you up too fast and 2. Rice and noodle dishes are cheap to make. You won’t be able to eat your money’s worth if you stuff yourself with rice and noodles.
Since I’m a rebellious child, I never listen. I love eating Dragon Legend’s hand pulled noodles. I gotta admit, out of all the food they have. this has got to be the best!
You have to try those noodles!
Overall, we had a great time but unless for a family gathering, I don’t think I would return considering it’s quite expensive and I don’t eat much. But I must agree that this is the best buffet around here.

Second time coming, this time with a very large group for a company dinner. Had 2 – 3 servers for 30+ guests which seemed a bit lacking. Was hard to wave one down to order drinks after the first round.
The food was really good and there’s a big selection of Chinese dishes, Japanese sushi and sashimi, saw a random pizza. The restaurant was very clean and the food was organized. There were oysters on Friday, at the beginning they were serving small ones and later they had bigger fat ones. The more expensive food they would limit 2 – 3 servings per customer which the servers would put on the plate. The noodle bar serves handmade noodles, see someone pulling the noodles into the boiling pot. Never saw an empty platter so the refill speed was quite good.
Overall, a good all you can eat place and will probably come back in the future.
