Dragon Pearl Buffet Menu with Prices
Dragon Pearl Buffet is a single-location Asian all-you-can-eat buffet at 865 York Mills Rd, Unit 2, North York (Toronto), Ontario. The restaurant does not publish its regular buffet prices online, but recent reports put an adult weekday lunch at $29, weekday dinner at $50 and weekend dinner at $55, all before 13% HST. Children 5 and under eat free Monday to Thursday with a paying adult (cash only), and older kids pay a reduced rate.
Dragon Pearl Buffet Menu Prices Per Person
| Meal | Adult price (before tax) |
|---|---|
| Weekday lunch (Mon to Fri) | $29 |
| Weekend and holiday lunch | About $35 |
| Weekday dinner (Mon to Thu) | $50 |
| Weekend dinner (Sat and Sun) | $55 |
Ontario adds 13% HST to the bill. A diner video recently showed weekend lunch at $39.55 with tax included, which works out to $35 before tax. The same video showed weekend dinner at $59.55 with tax included, which does not match $55 plus tax. Prices clearly vary by date, so a quick call to confirm is worth it.
Friday dinner is a crab leg night, so ask which rate applies when you book.
Kids Pricing
Kids are charged by age band at dinner. These rates were reported in January 2026.
| Age group | Dinner price |
|---|---|
| Younger children | $12 to $16 |
| Ages 7 to 11 | $24 to $28 |
| Ages 5 and under (Mon to Thu, promo) | Free, up to 2 per paying adult |
The younger children band was not defined by age in the source, so ask the staff where your child falls.
Senior Pricing
Seniors 65 and over got the regular lunch buffet for $20 instead of $29 from March 30 to April 24, 2026. That promo required cash payment and government photo ID. It has ended, but the restaurant has brought it back before, so watch the news page.
What a Typical Visit Costs
| Visit | Before tax | With 13% HST |
|---|---|---|
| 2 adults, weekday lunch | $58 | $65.54 |
| 2 adults, weekend dinner | $110 | $124.30 |
| 2 adults and 2 kids (7 to 11), weekday dinner | $148 to $156 | $167.24 to $176.28 |
Tip is extra. Totals use the prices above, so a promotion could lower them.
What Is Included in the Buffet Price
The restaurant describes more than 200 selections across Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai cooking. Your price covers sushi and sashimi, dim sum, a Peking duck station, hot dishes, seafood, salads, soups and a large dessert area with ice cream.
Menu items differ between lunch and dinner. The official site says items marked “Special” may change during promotions. Seasonal seafood such as crab legs, lamb rack and grilled oysters is tied to dinner service.
Soft drinks, specialty drinks, wine and beer are not described as included on the website. Ask your server what the buffet price covers.

How to Pay Less at Dragon Pearl Buffet
- Visit Monday to Thursday, when most discounts and kids-free offers apply
- Carry cash, because nearly every promotion is cash only
- Choose lunch, which costs about $21 less than weekday dinner
- Follow the News page for senior, kids and seafood promotions
- Order takeout and pay cash to get 15% off orders of $35 or more
- Skip delivery apps, which list higher prices than the official menu

Reservations, Groups and the Private Room
Walk-ins are often seated, but reservations help on weekends and during seafood events. You can book by phone or through the online reservation link for groups under 15.
Parties of 15 or more should use the party inquiry form. A private room called Green 8 holds up to 60 guests and is built from the same reclaimed ship wood as the main dining room.
Dietary Notes
Tripadvisor lists vegetarian friendly and gluten free options. The official menu marks spicy dishes and flags items that contain pork or shrimp.
Vegetarian choices include vegetable spring rolls, mixed vegetables, edamame, mashed potatoes, salads and several desserts. Ask staff about allergens, since the buffet is self serve and shared.
Afternoon Tea
In September 2025, Streets of Toronto reported an all-you-can-enjoy afternoon tea at $42 per person. It included more than 20 small bites, desserts, appetizers and a choice of three mains. That price is over a year old, so call to confirm it is still offered.
