" I visited Golden Dragon for dinner last Saturday after hearing some mixed reviews. The atmosphere was cozy, a nice local spot. However, my experience with the buffet was disappointing. The food didn’t taste fresh; in fact, some items seemed overcooked and not very appetizing. I appreciate the variety they offer, but the quality needs to improve significantly. That said, the staff was friendly and attentive, which made the overall experience a bit better. Next time, I'll opt for takeout instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I tried Golden Dragon last Friday, and we were pleased overall. The service was friendly and warm, and our meals were served quickly. We tried several items from the buffet, but while the fried dumplings were fantastic, many options were cool and lacked flavor. I would suggest grabbing takeout as it seems to remain fresher. We did enjoy the atmosphere, and we're likely to return regularly. Just a bit of a letdown with the buffet quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visit Golden Dragon regularly for their wonderful takeout. The portions are generous, and the food is consistently delicious; I’m a fan of their sweet and sour chicken. My only complaint arises from a few buffet visits, where the food felt older or cold. I think they could improve on that side, especially during peak hours. I will keep coming back, primarily for takeout and the incredible service I receive each time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Golden Dragon for the first time last week, and I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was pleasant, and the décor was inviting without feeling overwhelming. I ordered takeout, and it was truly delightful! The chicken teriyaki was flavorful and cooked perfectly. I had a bit of the buffet as well, and while some options were tasty, it seemed older compared to my takeout. So I’d suggest anyone go with takeout for a fresh experience. I would recommend it and am looking forward to trying more of their dishes soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Dragon is undoubtedly a place where I feel welcomed every visit. The staff members are absolutely lovely—they always remember my usual order. It's great to see familiar faces. The food is consistently good, especially when I order takeout; the portions are always generous! However, their buffet needs more attention as some items can be left out too long. It'd be nice to see them focus more on the freshness of the buffet offerings. In any case, it's one of my favorites to return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Golden Dragon multiple times, and it’s always a cozy experience. I recently ate at the buffet, but I was a bit disappointed by the selection and freshness. The fried rice was not up to par compared to the takeout I usually get. The service was impeccable, the staff is consistently friendly! Overall, I still recommend trying their takeout; you can't go wrong there. I love supporting this locally owned business. " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Dragon is a delightful spot for a casual meal. My husband and I enjoy coming here for the takeout options. Recently, I tried their sesame tofu for the first time and was impressed! It was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The staff is incredibly welcoming, which makes for a nice environment. However, my last experience with the buffet was disappointing. The food lacked freshness, and the textures were a bit off. I highly recommend skipping the buffet and heading straight for the takeout, where you can be sure to get quality dishes.
