I like that the lunch buffet has many different items and sometimes includes sushi and always a dessert. The food, while not high end Asian cuisine is certainly well prepared and of course as plentiful as your appetite determines. If you are looking for higher end authentic cuisine then this is not the place.

The golden dragon is easy to get to if your'e passing through . They specialize in their smorgasborg .they have a really good choice of chinese food and their wanton soup is good.

Apart from under cooked shrimp, miss labelled food, and frozen pie, my family including my Grandma, little sister, and special need sister were yelled and snapped at by not one but two employees while the owner stood there and watched. Needless to say GOLDEN DRAGON I am sickened and you have just lost a lot of customers. Congratulations :)

We enjoyed the Sunday dinner buffet. There was a good mix of food and a salad and dessert table too. We didn't notice until later that they overcharged for my toddler son's meal. Nice place. We'll go back

There was lots of food. Sort of everything that is normally on Chinese food buffet. There is no really extra special dish that we found. But more run-of-the-mill buffet food. However, it was all hot and fresh. And none in our party felt sick afterwards. And we ate lots--too much maybe. The place is older but feels comfortable an homey.... More

Good bang for your buck! Get there early if you want the buffet, things tend to run out quickly and they stop the buffet at 8:00pm.

I think it is really hard to do a group meal for 40-50 people but they put us into a good sized room and we helped ourselves at the buffet. A lot of deep fried dishes and fewer vegetable items - most were soggy. Surprisingly the flavor was better than the appearance. They did refresh some items but seemed overwhelmed.... More

If you have a craving for some Chinese this place isn't bad. But, don't expect a gourmet treat. Little bit of a rough looking crowd when I was there. Zero ambiance.

The food in the buffet was old and we were there at dinner time, so we expected it to be fresh. There was not alot of options and everything was so greasy. The ice cream was the only enjoyable part.
