As you swing open the doors you're greeted by a smell so good it could awaken a bear from hibernation. And as for the layout, it is huge, compared to other Asian food buffets. You immediately notice there are a ton of food choices.
Something else you will immediately notice is the price, and I mean that in a good way. I have been to Dragon for lunch on several occasions, and my bill came to just about $10. For dinner, you will be shelling out closer to $13 per person. Which, considering what you get, is very reasonable, and your drink is included.
As far as the food goes, cannot find much to complain about. They have a fairly large variety of sushi. Keeping in mind that this is a buffet, it should be noted that the sushi "is not the world's greatest" (cite:Michael Peachey). Although, a typical "special" sushi roll from a nice restaurant would cost anywhere from $9-$12, the sushi at Dragon is more than worth it. But the sushi is just a small portion of what they provide. The range is anywhere from classics, such as General Tso's chicken and egg rolls to more non typical items like chicken nuggets and barracuda. All the food tastes great, in my opinion, and it is never lacking in abundance. Another cool feature they have that I have not seen at another Asian buffet is a Habachi grill. Basically, you choose your ingredients and sauce and they fry it all up for you. And, to end your feast, the are many different types of desserts including hand dipped ice cream and a chocolate fountain. I think that anybody could find something they enjoy here.
Although overall it is a good experience, I do have some issues with Dragon. The first being their service. The employees are always very quick to get your dirty plates off the table, but they seem to be almost angry about it. I cannot recall seeing anybody working there with a smile on their face, save the cashier. And being quick to clean the tables is great, except for when I'm still eating from the plate. I've had a couple instances where I was talking to someone else and my plate might have been half empty but the busser thought I was done with that plate. Not a big deal, especially since I can go up and get as much as I want, but they could ask first. One other gripe I have is that, depending on where you are sitting, you may be required to walk by the bathroom entrances/exits on your way to and from the food. When carrying a plate of saucy, fried food the last thing you want to smell is the bathroom.
Overall, Dragon is an excellent choice for lunch, dinner, adults, children, parties or just some good old fashioned face stuffing.
