" What a gem this restaurant is! Golden Dragon serves fantastic Chinese cuisine that truly satisfies. The buffet is always plentiful, with the egg rolls and dumplings being standout items! For anyone feeling like having that authentic Asian experience, their flavors really do shine, and the staff is knowledgeable. They remember my order and make me feel right at home. I look forward to frequent visits and bringing friends along to share the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Golden Dragon has taken care of my Chinese food cravings! The portions are always generous, and many items are made fresh. I love visiting during lunch as they usually have great deals. I highly recommend the shrimp fried rice—it tastes so good. I’ve always been treated well by the staff, making it an enjoyable outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Golden Dragon last night, and I was thoroughly impressed. They had everything from spring rolls to sushi! The quesadilla was a surprise hit for me. Everything tasted fresh, and the prices were reasonable for a buffet. The service was fast and friendly. I do wish there were more traditional Chinese items, but overall it was a great experience.

" I finally decided to try Golden Dragon after hearing many positive things. The food was absolutely delicious! I loved the variety on the buffet, especially the fried rice. The chef was even there making fresh batches, which was a nice touch. My only minor complaint was the limited dessert options, but the ice cream machine was perfect for my sweet tooth! I can’t wait to go back here again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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 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*)
