Dragon Rolls

My favourite sushi resturant in Pickering.
Fast service, good space inside in a good location. Downfall is the parking that is a little limited if you come during a busier part of the day.
The sushi is well made, not falling apart and they are good on accomdating big groups. Every time I’m there is with a group of 6 or more.

My mother and I stopped by here today for lunch. We ordered sushi, chicken pad Thai, and some vegetable and meat rice dishes. We found the all the food to be delicious, and was served promptly. We especially loved the chicken pad Thai, and I recommend it.
The servers there were direct but friendly and quick, making the dining experience more enjoyable. They also have tablets that you order from, which can be a fun and convenient experience for some, but confusing for others. We personally liked it.
It was a little expensive, coming to $ 38 for the two of us. However, I have been charged much more for buffet lunches in the past, and the food quality really helped my overall impression. If I could, I would rate this restaurant 4.5÷5.

Food is excellent! However, the service is awful, especially during lunch time. The servers drop off plates as if they are passing by, with no eye contact or a word.

So yummy! Food was quick and service was great. This is our favourite Japanese place in Durham region.

Fish bones in salmon sashimi… not a happy customer.
This used to be a great sushi place however the staff has gotten lazy and raw quality continues to decline. This is the final straw for me…

Went on a Saturday. My friends vowed that it is better than Makimono.
AYCE dinner at $ 24.99.
Service was slow. Sashimi pièces were pathetic; thinly-​sliced and given out sparingly. If you ordered 10, they will cut 5 pièces into 10.
The photos on the IPad are not représentative of what they bring to your tables. For example, a photo of 1 long grilled eggplant will actually look 4 (small) square pieces of eggplants.
Among others: skewers/​beef ribs/​sashimis and rolls.
Did not take any pictures, too depressing to post ;(
Go somewhere else.

Ordered all you can eat. They forgot two items. We told them and they still did not bring them. Had to ask for a tea refill. Way too much tempura bits inside the sushi. Not impressed.

The quality of food is incredible, although they don’t provide sashimi when we request it at dinner. Even though it is on the menu, hey refuse to serve it to us.

So we finally got a chance to try out their AYCE. The sashimi was good but all the pieces were on a very small side. There wasn’t a huge variety of fish but what we ordered were ok.
For the usual Japanese AYCE, I actually liked the fact that the DR had Thai dishes that offered a good change to the palate with curries and stir fries.
The shrimp green curry we ordered was actually spicy with enough authentic Thai flavours to cleanse our sashimi-​ed out palate.
The restaurant offered one fresh scallop sashimi with purchase of AYCE when we dined. Although the idea was novel, when it actually came presented with their suggested sauces, it was so yucky that we wiped the sauces off with our napkins and just ate the scallops.
The AYCE dining experience was just an ok one. Not sure if I would rush back there to partake on their offerings but I wouldn’t rule it out altogether for any future invitations from family and friends.

This is a pretty decent place for some AYCE
Like the fact that you can order off an IPAD
The sushi is good
I like the mango topped sushi
The Thai and Asian food is a nice addition
I like the pan fried udon and the gyoza
Service can improve a bit but no AYCE place will you get 100% service

I feel like the quality has gone downhill. tinnyyy portion size for sashimi and amount of ‘salmon’ in the hand roll!

This remains our go-​to place for Japanese locally. Sure, they have a lot of non-​Japanese stuff on the menu, but we just avoid most of it. This place has the best beef tataki (although they misspell it as tartaki on the menu) of anywhere I have been. They are also the only one that serves it with the proper ginger sauce. I would suggest avoiding the beef teriyaki and the beef skewers as they tend to be very over cooked. The sushi is pretty good, although I would never get the deep fried california roll again, it was disgusting. My husband is big into sashimi and is very satisfied with what they offer. I am more into the tempura and rolls, so we are both happy with what we get. The price is a bit high, but then all the buffet and all you can eat places are around here, so they fall in line with the rest.

Awesome ATCE sushi, such a vast array of options, fresh and tasty! Fast service and you can order as little or as much as you like. A perfect place to go in a group!

This restaurant is a hit. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this place as every experience I’ve had has been positive. Ambiance… service… Food… Price — I am a repeat customer.
Price is very reasonable in comparison to other ayce sushi spots.
Not only do they have Japanese but they also offer a decent selection of Chinese (general Tao chick, sesame chicken) and Thai dishes (variety of curries, pad Thai). Love that they have regular and specialty sushi rolls. Food options definitely abundant. Good quality dishes and perfect sizes portions.
Ordering system sets this place apart from many other sushi restaurants, as food orders are placed through an iPad. awesome for helping you track your orders and ensure no miscommunication between customer and server. I absolutely love this! Service is extremely fast. I’ve never been left waiting too long for food to arrive.

The food is excellent and the prices are reasonable. My main point of contention is that on the about the third or fourth order the service began to slow down considerably. And the sixth order? Forget about it.
They are clearly exploiting the fact that as you let the dose digest you get fuller and it gets harder to exploit the «ask you can eat» nature of the establishment.
Very disappointed. How am I supposed to reach my American Dream of weighing 400lbs under these conditions???

This is possibly one of the best AYCE restaurant in the Pickering. As a matter of fact, it’s one of the best in GTA. The sushi selection is pretty broad, and the quality is excellent. If you don’t feel like sushi you can always have their Thai food.
Overall fantastic experience!

I’ve been back here a few times since my initial visit since this seems to be the go-​to place for my friends who still live in Pickering. They offer a few rolls here that you can’t seem to get anywhere else.
I came on a very busy night and the service was ABYSMAL. I’m sorry, as an AYCE restaurant, if you can’t hack it when its busy, you’re failing. We were ignored by a bunch of waiters, took over 20 minutes to get beverages to the table and they ran out of some of our favourite dishes. Took over 20 minutes to pay and I swore off the place after that.
However, since my friends like it so much, I gave it another try this week. Service is nothing to write home about and its gone downhill since I first came here. Servers really don’t care at all about listening to you when you speak. They walk away before you’re finished speaking and then forget anything you’ve asked for that’s not been punched into the iPad. This isn’t surprising though, as I noted in my previous review.
Food comes out pretty fast here and everything was good, but not great. Dragon roll was good, dynamite roll was boring. Cheese wontons are always good but the beef short ribs were BORING. Nothing done to them and they weren’t very good.
I just can’t bring myself to like this place again. I was so turned off by the last time I came that I haven’t returned and probably won’t again. There are better sushi joints around that have friendly, attentive staff and better quality food. It’s an okay place if you don’t like Makimono (which is horrid now) but do yourself a favor, make the drive to whitby and go to Tatemono for quality food and better service every time.

This is my favourite AYCE place in the area. I prefer Dragon Rolls over Makimono personally. I like the combination of sushi and thai items that they offer and the iPad ordering is nice and easy to use. I have my favourite food items that I order every time which include cheese wontons, chicken pad thai, beef tataki, Philadelphia roll, Green Dragon Roll, gyoza and general tao chicken.
Sometimes items you order do not make it to your table, but that usually only happens when they are busy. When I came on a Monday night it wasn’t busy and everything we ordered, we received and quickly. Also came on a Monday for lunch and it was the same. The service was great.

Staff: very kind and considerate, they sat us in a booth but there was a strong draft and it was pretty chilly and they moved us without hesitation
Ambiance: modern, relaxed, washroom is clean
Sushi: great! Fresh!
Cooked food: Mehhh, tasted better ones

Came in here on a late Saturday afternoon for a bite to eat. It’s an All You Can Eat Restaurant which you order everything through an I Pad. However we weren’t that hungry for AYCE so we opted for the a la carte menu.
The décor in here is very modern and sleek. The hostess let us select our own table and we chose a very spacious booth in front of sushi bar where they were making rolls fresh to order.
To drink we ordered green tea. I was expecting them to give us a pot of green tea however it arrived in tiny cute white cups. The tea was very good with a deep roasted matcha flavour.
From the menu we ordered a few things to share between the two of us
Gyoz 6pc — The flavour of the meat filling was good however I felt the gyoza wrapping could have been fried longer as it was very oily and not crispy
Beef Skewers 3pc — These were very tasty cooked to a perfect medium-​well with a light teriyaki glaze
Spicy Salmon Roll 6pc — Very fresh tasting with a slight bit of heat and crunchy tempura bits and I love that it was slightly cold
Chicken Pad Thai — Came out piping hot and very saucy. However I found the flavour of there pad thai to be far too sweet for my liking and too heavily sauced
Overall I found there dishes to be hit or miss. Service here was also not up to par. Food came out fast however once all our dishes were delivered no one came back to check on us or even refill our drink. We kept having to flag waiters down and I also noticed that most of the wait staff really understood or could speak English.
