| - My group of five arrived Friday night at 8pm for dinner and even then there was a 15 minute wait. When we were seated, I noticed that many people were finishing up their meal and tables start freeing up relatively quickly.
Dragon Pearl is definitely not cheap but I do believe that the quality of food does compensate. In a typical Chinese buffet, dishes are typically drowning on oil (eg. sweet and sour pork, the vegetables, fried rice, fried noodles, etc). At Dragon Pearl, the food feels very clean. Not only, the sushi is actually decent quality (not just smoked salmon). The night we went, each customer was eligible for a coupon to get lobster Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to try it but it seems like a nice option for those who like seafood. Dessert selection is mediocre but their dessert tofu is pretty decent!
Either way, the time and day of the visit will most definitely affect the quality of the experience. I would not come during expected high volume times (weekend nights, lunch times, etc) because the layout of the restaurant just makes crowding and waiting inevitable.
If I wanted to go to Dragon Pearl, I would most definitely pick a week day night or a later time to avoid the crowds.
