" The atmosphere at Golden Dragon is cozy and inviting, truly the kind of place you'd expect to find great Chinese food. Unfortunately, my experience was hardly enjoyable. I ordered the lo mein and was met with a spicy concoction that simply didn't taste like it should. Service was prompt, but the food didn't make me want to stay long. I might try another visit to see if it was just a fluke, but I wasn’t impressed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could love Golden Dragon. The vibes are right and the prices are fair, but the food often disappoints. On a recent visit, the chicken was dry and the sauces were lacking in flavor. The staff is really sweet but if the food doesn’t improve, I may not return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went here for lunch with a few friends. The variety was decent but nothing to write home about. I was most interested in their dumplings but was met with a lukewarm plate. While service was solid, I left feeling underwhelmed by the flavors and could barely eat half my meal. It's a place I wouldn't rush back to anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I always enjoy our meals at Golden Dragon. The buffet has a nice selection, and we love their chicken and broccoli. The fresh ingredients really do make a difference in taste. We’ve had minor hiccups during service, but nothing that turned us away. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for a casual night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just came back from Golden Dragon and I have to say, I was thrilled with my experience! The buffet had an extensive selection. I particularly enjoyed the Kung Pao chicken, which was perfectly spicy and not overly greasy. The staff was super friendly, always making sure my drinks were refilled and the food bins were kept full. It felt clean and well taken care of, which is always a plus. The only downside was the dessert selection; it could use a little more variety. Overall, I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high hopes after my friends' recommendations, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. The buffet items appeared to be recycled from lunch and not warm enough. The service was decent, but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. I prefer to try other places that might offer a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Dragon is a perfect lunch spot that's quick and packed with flavor! Even their fried rice is a standout! Plus, the servers are lovely and make the place all the more welcoming. I’d encourage everyone to try their made-to-order dishes. They’re really making a name for themselves as a local favorite! " (*Curated Review*)
