It was amazing all the food was hot. The people who work there are very attentive to anything you need not a humongous selection, but a pretty decent selection and very clean. read more

The worst buffet I have ever had. Raw hard ckn and a stomachache. This is a ghetto buffet that will leave you disappointed. Because of the poor and dry food quality can't believe I came and spend my well earned money at this dump. read more

Golden Dragon Buffet - Undercooked - Buffets Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

See all

Ever since they changed locations everything has gone down hill. Sushi rolls were room temp instead of cold. Desserts were warm instead of chilled. And fried and sauce soaked foods were cold and soggy. Nothing was a safe temperature and almost feel this places needs a surprise health inspection or shut down at this point. Cooks have lost the plot. read more

Food: lunch, 7/10 dinner, 10/10 (they serve better quality food like mussels & crab) Service: always good Ambiance: a buffet is a buffet! read more

terrible place. greasy food and they gave me freshly boiled hot water in a covered styrofoam cup with straw. So I sipped it and didn't know it would be hot so it burnt my tongue. read more

Food is fresh and usually ell stocked. Very large selection of fruits, vegetables and seafood. Three types of soup, they are all delicious. Clean and hot. Great choice for Chinese buffet!!! read more

Like the other reviews said: It's a bit better than some of the other buffets in the area. I generally don't feel like its the safest or smartest thing to eat Uramaki/Specialty rolls at such places but here they look and smell okay. This is a pretty decent selection of stuff that's not just Chinese food. Would prefer this over any other buffet that I've visited (Such as Golden Corral, Panda, or Western Sizzlin' It's about as clean as what you'd expect from a buffet. (meh) I would recommend doing lunch or dinner buffet don't do take out or order from the kitchen, its probably the same food anyway. There was another buffet in Springdale On Butterfield Coach next to Marco's pizza, i thought that was better but i think it closed as i cant find it on here or google, so this is arguably best option for a Chinese Buffett that I know of anyway read more

The service was not bad, ambiance like any other buffet. The food is what you pay for. The chicken for the flat iron is not covered as well as the other raw meats. read more

The service was good, the people were nice. The restaurant is dirty, the floor and tables were sticky. The food was cold, the flavor was bad. We literally witnessed someone slip on wet floor with no sign. On top of everything, the price is not worth the visit. I wouldn't recommend. read more

We use to eat at this restaurant several years ago but now we live out of town and not been there for a while. We called ahead and asked the manager if they still had frog legs in the evening. She said yes they had frog legs on the buffet. She lied. My wife asked the guy putting food on the buffet for frog legs and he pointed to the crab legs. He didn't understand English. Our waitress couldn't speak or understand English at all. The food was nasty. It used to be good. The building inside and out was not kept up. We will never be back to eat there again. I'm giving one star because I don't have the option for zero stars. Eat somewhere else. read more

Really let down by the low quality. Heard this place was better than Pavilion, and that was not true. It was not worth the cost at all. Mushy fried food. Lukewarm entrees. I'll never go back. Hunan Manor is my go to after trying it, it's the best of the three. read more

Server gave us our tickets halfway while eating, and then when it was time to pay we all paid seperate. Our bills were $16 with some change and we all gave her a $20. She kept saying thank you, for me, for me, thank you. We never got our change back after already leaving a tip read more

Absolutely delicous! Customer service was amazing. On site sushi chef making it fresh. Worth the money! The jewelry is high quality and at a reasonable price for this day and age! An absolute masterpiece of a restaurant that even the pickiest of eaters can pick at! read more

Golden Dragon Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

The food was flavorful! Everything I tried was consistently good, and they were constantly refilling and the manager or owner was delightful! Chatted with us and made us feel like family! read more

I enjoyed the food and selection. It could have been a bit more tidy and could certainly use some updating, but I enjoyed my lunch there. read more

Huge Buffet with a very large selection. I went in Christmas Day as per tradition. It was very busy and yet all the food stayed stocked. Coconut chicken read more

Food selection on buffet seemed extensive, at first glance, but was about 50% American food. This did not impress me. Price was high at $7.95/lb for take out. This means that my 2 take-out containers, reasonably full, but easily closed, cot me over $40.00! The food that I DID bring home was really unimpressive. In fact, I threw half of the food away. Meat was bland or spicy or dry and crab rangoons were over stuffed and mushy. All in all, very unimpressed and disappointed that I wasted my time and money. read more

Everything I expected it to be. Walked in just in time to see a steaming hot buffet. great selection of food, good customer service, and nice atmosphere. Maybe an aged version of its former glory, visually, but it was clean. Overall would stop by to eat again if I was passing through. Ate too much, needed a nap. read more

Don't waste your money, food is Awful, service is awful and unfriendly folks! Never again! Should have went to P.F. Chang's! read more

Terrible service. The main lady was an awful human being. So rude and so nonchalant. The food is chewy and hard. It stinks like fish when you enter. Common sense right? Not the fish scent you look forward to. Roaches in the bathrooms and i can't imagine what's in the kitchen. Do not recommend at ALL. Do not eat here. read more

This place was not great. This is definitely a judge a book by its cover. It's falling apart on the inside as far as building wise and smelled of pure fish when we first walked in and not yummy fish. Would not pay the dinner price again. Maybe lunch but would only eat a few items of the line, so not worth the amount. read more

Please understand that this is Springdale, AR not Metropolitan NYC. If Food Network is on your TV remote speed dial then you will give this place 1 star. This place is for those who frequent mainstream China buffets. We were in town one night visiting and wanted Chinese buffet. We arrived on a Friday night around 6:30pm. The parking lot was quite full, but we were greeted and seated immediately when we entered. The buffet was quite large. Something for everyone. There are even choices for those who are not Asian food fans like French fries and pizza. There were about 6-8 sushi roll choices. I tried and liked them all. I don't care for cream cheese in mine so pleased to see half of them without! All the classic choices of a Chinese buffet were available. The tempura shrimp was my favorite, and the garlic shrimp was my second. The fish was moist and flavorful. The place was clean. The buffet was VERY clean and constantly stocked. I did not need the restroom so cannot validate that. The staff was friendly and tended to our needs. This place is family friendly. Even one of the police patrols were present to eat dinner. I would definitely go back. read more

Food was really salty and very dry. All seemed to be overcooked. Selection was very limited for a dinner menu.

Must try little gem! I did the buffet take out an all items were DELICIOUS! Noodles were fresh an mushroom chicken was just like at home in Hawaii! I can't imagine anyone not have a great meal as the selection is so wide something for everyone! read more

Giving it three stars for the selection of sushi. Probably the most extensive I've seen on a buffet in this area. There's also, who appears to be a sushi chef, preparing it. Also three stars for the cleanliness & atmosphere. Also, the best crab rangoons. Temperature of the food (especially the smoking hot soup) was good. Rest of the dishes were typical. Several shrimp dishes, fish, apple pie & fries (?). The hostess said crab legs are on the dinner buffet but not the lunch. So three stars for the decor living up to its name -Golden Dragon. No astro-turf for carpet, no huge ugly mailbox numbers stuck to each table, or the Chinese version of Madonna music playing in the background. I appreciate this. read more

This was disgusting. Service was good but food not so much. It was chewy or cold. They took $5 off but I shouldn't of paid anything I barely ate. DONT EAT HERE. read more

Okay, I HATE giving negative reviews but if they are needed they are needed. You see the picture attached? Looks good huh? NO! My husband and I are here from out of town. We wanted to get delivery and we ordered here. Fast service. But now I know why. The food we received was literally inedible. This is my last meal before I have major surgery and I didn't take more than TWO bites. We spent $30 after tipping the driver. $30 of food that my husband literally just took to the dumpster. What you see is what we have left. EVERYTHING we ordered besides the bread with sugar (they were really good). Sad day for me. (kinda dramatic I know). But yeah wouldn't recommend. read more

Golden Dragon Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

The food was alright, I could tell it was sitting out all day tho. But the foods not why I'm on here. Our server busser lady named Abby came up to me and my other half with the bill. She was rushing us with the bill. Asking for payment even though we were trying to enjoy and eat. When she was taking the check-out book after we got done paying, she looked at the ticket and said "no tip for me" you don't look at your tip in front of a customer. You surly don't set it on the table and point it out. Abby also went to her coworker and laughed about confronting us. All I have to say is Abby I surly hope you don't do anything unprofessional like that to another customer. What if I didn't have tip money? The whole reason we didn't tip was because you were rushing us. read more

So gross that we literally had to spit the food out and couldn't swallow it. Sushi rolls don't have any flavor. Everything is either fried or dripping in sauce or both. Don't waste your money. read more

This is a just like you expect it American- style Chinese buffet. The Lemon Chicken, was a stand out as was the mei fun noodles and pork bao. Gloves were there for Covid concerns and everything was fine. Great, fast place for when you don't want to grad Chinese to go! read more

Cold food, soggy noodles, warm ice tea, under season seafood, the list can go on. This is probably the worse buffet I have ever been to. Don't waste your money. read more

Nasty buffet. If you want nasty food and overlooked seafoods, this is the place go to. Sweet tea is awful and fruits aren't even cold! Its offensive to pay for bad quality food. I'd rather go to McDonalds and eat a nasty Big Mac. When I see people gobbling up the food here, it tells me they never really got out and really know what fresh and good food supposed to taste like... For example In CA, LA and Florida. read more

Golden Dragon Buffet - Buffets Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Great food, and very friendly staff. The portions are very good. Glad I found this restaurant.

The most flavorful part of the dishes we ordered was the plain steamed rice. Everything else was so bad I didn't feel right asking my friend to pay me for their portion of the food; no one should have to pay for this meal. We ordered the General Tso's chicken, beef and broccoli, hot and sour soup, and the baby tako. The General Tso's chicken had no spice. The beef was so processed and soft that I'm not sure it was actually meat. The soup was subpar and lacked flavor as well, it was neither hot nor sour. I usually love octopus, it was the main reason I chose to order from this establishment. However, the baby tako was so repulsive in taste and texture that I had to spit it out. The only grace was that it came with a side of ginger to cleanse the taste from my mouth. read more

Went for dinner very good food. Many things to choose sushi, shrimp,pork, chicken, Salad bar, vegetables, rice lots of choices.

This was a typical Chinese buffet but with sushi. Sushi was good, better than most buffet sushi I've had. Lots of it with cream cheese, it a few good rolls mixed in. Wide selection of hot food as well as a cold section for crab, shrimp etc and a decent dessert section. Was sad they didn't have chocolate pudding, usually a staple at these places and a guilty treat for me. Ate about 20 pieces of sushi, a few hot dishes, steak and green pepper was really good. Had some Crab and shrimp and finished with some fruit and jello. Added a class or red wine and total was 16 bucks read more

Well, it wasn't good. Maybe it was a bad night.... but the food didn't even look good. Actually, it looked nasty. I tried several items but none were good. I think the water and the fortune cookie was the best thing that I had. I won't come back to the golden dragon. On a positive note, The wait staff was good. read more

Waitress was sweet. Food was old and not very good. Was kinda dirt as well but we did go at the end of the day. I doubt we will ever go back. read more

This was a great place to eat at! At one time one of the better buffets around. The service was always great,and it looked cleaned the times I ate here. So the question is why I don't eat here more??? read more

This is a really good Chinese buffet with great sushi. Don't expect 5 star dishes from a buffet! But the food is good, the staff very courteous, the place is clean and you can have as much as you want for a very reasonable price. I give it 5 stars for being what a Chinese buffet should be!! Give it a try and see if you agree! I think you will like it!! read more
