Loved the Lunch Buffet, went with the Project team. I was a bit curious as I am a pure vegetarian and I doubted initially whether I would be getting something veggies to eat. But with my team's confirmation, we went and didn't get disappointed too..
There were plenty of veg / non veg options available and the waiters were available to help you in case you find difficulty in searching or recognising few foods.

Loved the lunch buffet at dragon legend. By far the best Chinese buffet with a great variety of salads, sushi, desserts etc. Definitely try the Hawaiian sushi if you are here though everything else is equally good. The ambiance and the staff and the food make for a memorable lunch that you won't forget for a long time!
At the company that I work for, we normally hire a lot of co-op students from Toronto universities. Today, we celebrate the end of their work term by treating them to a lunch. Based on a many constraints (location, pricing, food options, preparation), I decided to treat the students to Dragon Legend Buffet due to spacious seating (200+) and food quality.
It wasn't that impressive when it just opened, in terms of food selection. But recently I went there for Mother's Day after a long time and wow was I impressed. The food selection changed a lot, there is just so much in offering. Great environment. Will have to reserve early because it's very busy. Will go again.
I have done a blog post back in 2014, but have been to Dragon Legend at least 5 times since. Some menu items and the pricing has changed, so itâs time for an update. I bumped up the rating since the food has been consistent in terms of quality and selection, however their price had increased from 2014.
Bian Lian or face changing is an ancient Chinese dramatic art. It is truly something to behold and is part of the rich cultural experience a guest at Dragon Legend can expect. Performances take place every Wednesday evening starting at 6:45 p.m.

Great Selection of Food ..Loved the Peking DUCK and its far better than MandarinÂ
Love the Place .
1. Quality
2. Variety of SpreadÂ
3. Great Ambiance
However always its always busy busy which is good
What a great find! Dragon Legend has a great selection with an emphasis on QUALITY.
My jaw dropped when I saw their mountain of crab legs.
The thing is I love seafood, but I'm easily creeped out by it. If my shrimp hasn't been deveined, there is no way I'm eating it. However the seafood at Dragon Legend was amazing!
Their Peking Duck was also really tasty. Mind you, it was no where near Peking Man's level, but it hit the spot. I unfortunately wasn't a fan of their hoisin sauce. It was too acidic and sugary.
They also had a great selection of sashimi and rolls. When you ask for sashimi, the man serving it to you gives you 4 pieces! Whoa! He was also really friendly.
Dragon Legend is a little more expensive than good ol' DP but I'm willing to pay the price difference.
Their other dishes were also really tasty. Since I never cook with salt, I'm quite sensitive to it. However, none of the food here was overly salted. Pretty much everyone in town comes to this delightful find, and the food was consistently hot and fresh.
Their desserts were the weakest link. My green tea ice cream was decent but my mother's strawberry ice cream was chalk full of artificial flavours and red dye...yikes.
Our waitress was polite and attentive. At 32.99 per person, I say it's definitely worth it.
Great Peking duck for all you can eat. The sashimi selection gave generous portions and the steak to order was very tender and medium rare. Â The fried and grilled oysters were a nice bonus! I would suggest coming here for dinner if you would like to experience a higher end chinese buffet. Â The service was pretty attentive as well
Dragon legend is a more upscale Chinese buffet. The interior looks very grand.
The food selection is diverse. There is fresh sashimi where an employee passes it out so you have to go back multiple times if you want more.
They also have people serving peking duck as well! I saw a chef making noodles which was quite impressive. There was also soup that was in individual porcelain jars, and every time a new batch came out, it would disappear in minutes.
The food was good and there is plenty of dissent choices I would recommend it for a special event. Otherwise, it can be quite pricy for a normal dinner, especially if you go on the weekend.
Great Quality of Food for a Buffet. The Fallsview buffet in Niagara is known for its quality and I would put this one notch higher, they had prime rib when I went and it was very tasty and well cooked. Garlic bok choi was amazing. Tons of selection for everyone, I don't eat Sashimi and my buddy said that they had Salmon and he ate a couple plates of just that. I don't understand the reviews complaining about the food.
I do agree that the hostess's are crap and should be thrown out. Even the table service is bad, one waitress complained that my friend was wasting food cause he had about a half plate of stuff that he didn't want. They asked me twice if I wanted one of their fancy tropical cocktails for 7.99$ no thanks, I'll stick with water, especially after the 27$ weeknight price.
Great job as an AYCE dinner buffet! Except deep-fried dishes, their chinese seafood dishes are superb. Best Peking duck ever. Freshly pulled noodles are boiled on order at noodle bar. Authentic chinese desserts were impressive (without them nothing special). Nice service and decor in a gigantic dining room. Two thumbs up from those skeptics about Chinese buffet dinner.
Expensive but good quality is very good. Steak and Peking Duck cooked well by staff.
Pricey, but great buffet.. I went here to eat with my family recently for my birthday, and enjoyed it so much that I came back again the next night with my girlfriend. The buffet is delicious with a large variety of foods. One of the biggest and best sushi selections I've seen at an ayce buffet restaurant as well. They also had a free half lobster promotion when I want. A bit on the pricey side for sure in comparison to other buffets, but the quality trumps any other Chinese buffet I've been to in the Toronto area.
Dragon legend is very expensive, but for the quality of food, and selection, I think it is quite worth it. They have chocolate truffles and other assortment of snacks for free outside for people waiting - which I think was very thoughtful of them. I also very much enjoyed the sushi and and the wide selection of Chinese food. I loved the Peking duck!!!!!!!
All in all, this place serves fantastic-tasting and fresh sushi and sashimi. I would suggest coming here for lunch instead of the dinner buffet since only their Japanese selection is noteworthy. Everything else is kind of like your typical buffet food.
I have to start by saying this buffet is ridiculous, in an unbelievably good way. Normally a buffet is a buffet but Dragon Legend takes the world âbuffetâ to a
Just north of Hwy 7 off Woodbine is this buffet called Dragon Legend. We came here for Chinese New Year, and even though there was a crazy snowstorm outside, this place was packed! The buffet seemed really large at first, and I got lost as the hostess brought us to our table. I later learned that they purposely bring you through the buffet (the long way) and walk around the restaurant until you reach your table. I found out that if I simply turned left from the entrance, our table was right there. The decor was pretty impressive, and even had a big drum in the middle of the buffet. However, the area to get food was quite crowded and it was hard to navigate through at times. They served a lot of variety of food, and I only took some pictures, as there were so many people. There were crab legs, which I didn't have any. There was some sashimi and sushi rolls. It was hard to take a picture of the whole area, so I only took a picture of some of the rolls. The tep
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 decor 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.  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.  It's highly recommended that you make a reservation on the weekend as it can be quite packed. On those busy nights, the front desk would take your name, the number of your party, and hand you an alarm (that would blink when your table is available).  If you order Chinese tea; it's $1.80 per person.   They have a wide selection of sushi and sashimi for a buffet instead of the just the usual rolls. Be warned though that the station is often watched by a staff member to ensure that people don't overload on the fish. They usually limit customers to 3 slices of sashimi per visit to the station.    Honestly, I would skip the dim sum dishes as I found some of the items to be bland. The plump dumpling looked aesthetically cute, but the non-translucent skin tasted extremely doughy to me.  Additionally, they also have a steak station where the chefs would cook steak cubes on order. This can be a hit or a miss depending on the amount of salt that the chef seasoned it with. 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. The crispy texture of the skin was absolutely divine with the sauce.  The salad bar was decent with different kinds of leaves, veggies, and salad dressing. The fruits area offer the standard choices of strawberries, orange slices, melon slices, and watermelon slices. From what I can recall; the dessert station has a selection of waffles, cupcakes, cookies, cheesecakes, jello, fruits, green tea mousse cakes, chocolate covered strawberries, crÚme brûlée, puff pastries, ginger milk pudding, and various flavors of ice cream.
This is a large Chinese buffet that has a big dining room with high ceilings and bold colours. There is plenty of seating and it doesn't feel too crowded, even if it's busy. There is a large selection of food that is replaced frequently and nothing sits out for too long. The service is quick to replace foods, take your empty plate, or fill your water. The food tastes delicious with enough options to make a different plate every round. The sesame chicken and sushi rolls were especially tasty.
I went to the buffet for a family celebration and left happy and ridiculously full. The buffet is on the high end of Asian buffets at $29.99 for an adult on weekends. Good thing is that you get what you pay for. We went on a Friday evening and it was the âitâ place to be. The parking lot was rammed!
At the parking lot, I quickly recalled that I had attended a wedding when the space used to be a banquet hall. The space was transformed completely and the decor was over-the-top! It had a retro feel with dark walls, thick wooden tables and decorative accents all around the restaurant. There was even a large screen TV in the dining room.
I made reservations a week in advanced and got a huge table fit for the thrown and right by the buffet. That means I can place a mound of food on my plate and not have to walk past other tables in guilt.
The buffet is traditional buffet style where customers serve themselves at the buffet tables rather than order off a menu. I would have preferred that the sushi and sashimi items were ordered off the menu, as their rolls were a bit sloppy in presentation. Also, the sushi area was a bit rammed since there was a lot of budding.
However to make up for that, they offer huge and fresh pieces of scallop, tuna and salmon sashimi. There was a limit of 2 pieces of each sashimi at one time, but there was so much variety at the buffet to try out that this was not an issue.
They had speciality items that I havenât seen at many Chinese buffets including house made noodles in fish soup, Peking duck, frog legs and dim sum. Unlike Mandarin buffet which offers crab legs as a seasonal speciality, this is a regular buffet item. I also really enjoyed the hot and sour soup, which tasted like a bowl I would order at a reputable Chinese restaurant.
The must have dessert items are the warm waffles, flan, crĂšme brulee and black sesame ice cream. Many restaurants charge a lot for black sesame ice cream, so go crazy if youâre there!
If you get a VIP card, aside from receiving discounts for the monthly promotions, you are entitled to some pimpinâ VIP rooms.

Very exquisite and elegant Chinese buffet style restaurant. I couldnât enjoy everything because Iâm allergic to see food, but for seafood lovers, this place would look like heaven to them. I enjoyed the PekĂn Duck, as well as sushi, rolls, seaweed with vegetables, and so many delicatessen they had to try. And it wasnât only the food. The decor and ambiance was gorgeous too!
I came here for lunch buffet some time back as this was one of the most affordable fusion buffet around. Fusion buffet because there is a mix of Chinese food and Japanese food. The decor is very extravagant and the washrooms are gorgeous and sparkling clean which is very important for us to wash our hands properly, comfortably and responsibly.
Well, are buffets safe during this pandemic? I think the answer is a yes at Dragon Legend as they do provide single use plastic gloves for you to handle anything that is commonly shared such as ladles or scoops at the food stations and you are reminded to wear your mask when walking around to get your food, which is something really rare in the west side of the world. Hygiene standards are high and place is clean, the staff also comes around to collect your dirty plates pretty often so you don't have plates stacking at your table.
Most importantly, how's the food? I would say the food is very good for the price paid. Kids below a certain age only pay CAD3.99 so do declare your child's age when dining there. There was a live station which served roast duck in "crepe" and the roast duck was really nice, the only problem was that the customers soon found out that the roast duck was really good and many people queued there or grabbed more for their table, which is totally fine. They eventually made sure to fulfil most of the needs of the customers and came back with more though it took some time. They has sashimi, hot foods, fried foods, soups, noodle station that made the noodles fresh on ordering.
This place has a wonderful buffet at a reasonable price, only thing is that if you are not in Markham, it is rather off the way. Hope they will survive well with the Omicron strain causing the infection to surge.
Good variety overall, solid selection of grill, sushi, and dessert. Loved the fresh noodle soup bar. Peking duck quality is alright, but can't complain for a buffet. I went for family day and we each received a half lobster for free.
Solid 4.5 stars
I went here for a birthday party, the food here was decent, there a bit of selection of food however what I was excited most about was the pecking duck. The pecking duck was okay, it wasn't the best quality but was good enough for a buffet, this is where most of my stomach space went to. The sushi selection was decent for a buffet, my salmon sashimi had some bones in them, small ones, but the taste was very similar to salmon sashimi from sushi restaurants. There were quite a bit of mussels each prepared differently, I am a fan of seafood so I got a few of those, the cheese mussels wasn't that great because the cheese wasn't melted well. The roast beef was pretty good, I enjoyed it, I could tell that the mash potato was from an instant mash potato pack, but it tasted okay together with the roast beef. This time, I was unable to take pictures or eat their desserts, but from my past visits, their dessert selection was pretty solid as well. There's a lot of parking space in the parking lot so there won't be an issue with finding a parking spot. Overall what I enjoyed most was the pecking duck, since not many buffet offer such a thing. I would go here again just for the fact that they offer pecking duck at a buffet.
Great selection of food such as Peking duck, sushi and sashimi, assortment of fried foods such as squid, chicken wings, and even grilled mochi! As well as pork buns and various soups like hot and sour and wonton. Dessert is ice cream like vanilla and birthday cake and various jellies like black sesame and orange. Overall definitely worth the trip!
Solid 4.5! Pleasantly surpassed my expectations on the taste and variety of food. Definitely one of the best Chinese buffets Iâve been to. We went during lunch on a weekday which was around $23-24 a person.
Highlights:
- Peking duck wraps: the wrapper was a bit thick but the duck was roasted well with a delicious sauce, cucumber sticks, and green onions
- Beef knife-cut noodle soup: very tender beef and flavourful broth
- Ginseng goji chicken soup: warm and rich flavour, not too salty
- Grilled oyster mushroom
- Stir fry cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and fungi
- Fresh prawn with cocktail sauce
- Mussel stir fry in black bean sauce
- Veggie roll: seaweed, daikon, carrots
- Mango salad
- Thin crispy scallion pancakes
- Grilled lemongrass chicken
- Roasted yellow sweet potato
- The matcha and tiramisu cake was surprisingly moist and not too sweet!
- Wide selection of ice cream: I recommend matcha, mango, and cappuccino
Meh:
- Sushi: not a wide selection and too much rice
- Stir fry noodles, fried rice, spring roll, general tso: tastes average
- Dim sum (shrimp dumpling, shumai, baozi): not bad, exactly like what you would expect
- Sesame ball, dense and not much filling
Came here for a wedding on a Thursday night and we were so surprised that they serves a delicacy like frog legs!
Dishes were fresh and constantly being refilled. They also gave out coupons for a generously sized abalone and prawn that night (1 per person).
Best Chinese buffet!
Authentic Chinese cooking. Good selection from meat, fish, sushi, fruits, soup, veggies and desserts. Missed the peking duck for lunch. Great dining atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Offers 20% seniors discounts. I highly recommend.
