Reasonable food and selection. Table a bit tacky/unclean, and restroom needs refinishing. They were not anle to keep pace with lunch crowd needs.

I arrived at 1pm. Food was good but many of the trays were empty and waitress informed another table that they would not be bringing any more food out. There was approximately 10 people in there. $9 is reasonable. They do close at 2. Would of gave it more stars if the table wasn’t so empty.

Expect simple and be happy.
For 7.50 for lunch, it's hard to beat. Other reviews state that food is greasy or lukewarm. This is somewhat true.. but it's fine and clean (albeit a little shabby, super functional still.)
If you don't want greasy, go for the white noodles, rice, green beans, and drier looking items. Unfortunately, greasy kinda tastes delicious. Balance it with rice.
Also, get the sweet and sour soup (quite hot and filling) and go for the green onions, crispy bits, and lemon slices (hidden 3 ft right).
Best tip: on your first pass, get a tiny bit of everything and then decide what you want that day. Then load up.
Good eatings to you!

The food is great! It is very consistent regarding getting a nice Chinese meal for a reasonable price. I have been eating at the Dragon Buffet for several years. There is no other Chinese food buffet in the area, so this is my place for a Chinese food fix! I introduced this place recently to my friend and he loves the food! If you want to have a fancy meal at a fancy place this restaurant is not for you.If you want to have some very tasty food served hot and delicious,definitely dine here. Please give this place a try. I've eaten at many buffets in my lifetime.This is good stuff! Unless you are a chef I highly doubt that you could even come close to matching the variety of good tasting dishes.

Don't hate on this place if you are a snobby restaurant person. If you just want a quick but large bite to eat for $7, go between 11-1. This isn't cheesecake factory. Just like McDonald's isn't Sushi. If you don't like it, go somewhere else. These are hard working folks making a living.

Came by last week at 1:30 for the lunch buffet. I was turned away. It ended at 2 pm and they weren't cooking any more food.
Went today. Got there at 1 pm. 90% of the food was gone. Only thing that got refilled was my drink and chicken skewers.
I've been coming here off and on over the past 12 years. It has gone down hill tremendously. Sad to say.... I used to like coming here when I worked nearby.

Worst Chinese buffet I’ve ever been to, food is lukewarm, salty and greasy. If you come in after 1 you get it eat whatever is left over, which is usually one egg roll, some soggy noodles and a few peppers and onions that have been sitting there for hours.
I’d rather choke on my own bile than come here again.

This place was terrible. The food was alright but the waitress was rude immediately when we walked in. I have a 3 year old and she gave me high chair soaked and sticky in soda. It was ridiculous. I say dont eat here. We did not get any drink refills and was stared down the whole time and disrespected. Needless to say she didnt get a tip..
