Asian Dragon Buffet is an all-you-can-eat buffet with an enormous selection of food and drinks.

From the outside, the restaurant resembles a big-box department store, with a blocky black facade and a bright red sign. This comes as no surprise, as the space was previously occupied by a Stitches factory outlet.

The vibe completely changes the moment you step inside. Though the large rectangular buffet area still calls to mind a bustling retail space, the rest of the building has its own unique aesthetic.

A mural depicting famous Chinese structures, such as the Great Wall of China and the Pavilion of Prince Teng, covers most of the eastern wall.Paper lanterns dangle from the ceiling and a 100-foot long dragon installation hangs over the buffet tables, accompanied by a cluster of illuminated metal 'clouds'.The seating area is clean and spacious, with a mixture of square booths and round tables. A few of these tables come with raised platforms to assist with communal eating.

The dining room is also equipped with wooden partitions that can be used to separate certain areas. This comes in handy for parties and private events.

Asian Dragon also offers VIP rooms to those looking for a more intimate dining experience. These rooms can comfortably seat up to forty people, making them ideal for smaller gatherings.

Prices vary depending on when you visit. Weekday lunch costs $25 per person, while dinner is $45. On weekends and holidays, the prices shoot up to $30 and $50, respectively.

While these prices might seem a bit steep, especially compared to other buffets in the area, the sheer amount of options makes them well worth it.Asian Dragon serves a wide variety of dishes, from grilled meats to steamed vegetables and everything in between.

Each section of the buffet is clearly labeled, making it easy to find the food that you're looking for.For our first plate, we sampled a few dishes from the sushi bar. Shrimp, squid, salmon and torched maki rolls were just some of the items on offer.For our second plate, we went for a mixture of meat and veggies: juicy crab legs, crunchy spring rolls and smoky pork skewers were some of the standout dishes.Our third plate featured fried prawns, chow mein and huge oysters, seasoned with garlic and herbs.

The oysters won me over with their salty flavour and tender, buttery texture. If there hadn't been so many other dishes to try, I would have gone for seconds.

If you're in the mood for a warm drink, consider ordering a cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea. This tea has a mild, creamy flavour that can be enhanced with sugar or sweetener.If you'd prefer something cooler, Asian Dragon's got you covered. Bubble tea comes in four different flavours: lychee, mango, strawberry and taro. Each one comes in a tall glass, filled to the brim with chewy tapioca pearls.Since opening in September of 2024, Asian Dragon has hosted dozens of birthday parties, family reunions and corporate functions. The staff tells us that their main goal is to provide a welcoming environment for people to share meals together.

Given the size of the crowds, as well as the variety of dishes being served, it's safe to say that they've succeeded.
