If someone in my family says the word "buffet" there is only one place in my mind and it's Dragon Pearl. I honestly have only one food on my mind when someone says buffet too ever since I've been to Dragon pearl and that is Peking duck.
I eat my money's worth of Peking duck every time. EVERY TIME.
The other food here is quite good too. I enjoy the sesame chicken and the fish too. I also live for the tofu pudding dessert. However, since I can get that at zen q, I don't worry about that too much.
The greeters are nice and the wait staff are a delight even when it gets busy. My mom disagrees with me but I think they got rid of the person who served us 2 yrs ago. I also think they got rid of the person who answered the phone 2 yrs ago too. ("No, if you don't take 715pm you can go somewhere else")
They cleared our plates in a timely manner and the foods that depleted were refilled as soon as possible. My parents drink tea so they got super pissed that the tea cups are tiny tiny hahaha I found it cute. I mean I don't remember but if it's unlimited hot water refill, I don't think tiny cups are so bad, right?
If you want a large reservation for an event, I'd suggest calling at least a week in advance for the time slot you'd like.
