A little more expensive than Panda, but we still go here often. See my review for Panda for a clearer picture. Basically, if we want sushi and crawfish, we go here. The crawfish are well seasoned here, but goodness, they are just so stingy about bring out the crawfish. One time, we had our nemasis, he kept getting the crawfish a leaving us the scraps! We have to wait for so long and try to beat him to it. Their sushi is good for a buffet. I mean, if you can eat all the sushi here and compare it to some place in which they charge you a lot for it, I would go here instead. All sushi are they same anyway, at least here in NWA. Anyway, the mussels are okay, but not as good as Panda. Also, do you know what they do not have? An ice cream machine!! What a travesty. They have a scoop them up ice cream, but if I am so full, it is kinda hard to bend to scoop some ice cream. Food quality wise, they are a little bit better than Panda, but service wise, they are not as friendly as Pandas'. So, I will still keep eating here and Panda unless there is a better and cheaper place that opens that have best of both places. read more

The food was terrible. All of the chicken dishes had way too much breading and not enough flavor. The guy who was cooking the hibachi was not friendly and seemed inconvenienced to cook our food. Our waitress never filled my drink up. Overall, I'd give it 0/5 but Yelp makes me give it a 1. I would not recommend. read more

Went to the Golden Shower Dragon for lunch with the family on the way home from Branson MO, we fought on the way about which one of the many Chinese restaurants we were going to eat at and am I glad we did. When we arrived parking was crowded but not terrible, we went in and were not immediately seated but didn't wait too long! After being seated I ordered unsweet ice tea which was pretty good! Went to the buffet hit fried rice, generals chicken, an egg roll, spring roll, what they called cheese wontons, and some mushrooms oh and some freaking delicious dumplings!!!! Only really weird part of this restaurant is that the bowls And plates were under the buffet with neon light on them it was cra!!!! Didn't really go for seconds but had a little sushi it was tasty but just your run of the mill buffet sushi!!!! Then for desert we had some ice cream watch you head though cause my asshat friend Sean kept hitting his on the lamp above the table, but hey it was good for a few laughs like 4x lol but overall it was pretty good buffet so... If near the Shower stop in!!! Yummy yummy read more

Golden Dragon Buffet - Beware of these low hanging lamps #amiright Sean?? - Buffets Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Since they moved to their new location they have gone way down hill. We eat here every Christmas Eve, but last night will be the last. It was dirty, smelled like bleach water, the buffet was sparse, food dry/overcooked, and the staff seemed much more interested in standing behind the lotto ticket desk (why did they start selling lotto tickets at the front??). The best thing was the ice cream in the cooler. Sad to have to change tradition, but the food is not good, the building showing much need of a cleaning, and the staff seem only interested in socializing up front. read more

The place was not as bad as I thought. I didn't really know what to expect since this was my first time here in springdale. My son wanted to eat something that he gave a lot of options of course buffet was the only thing I can think of. There were a decent amount of variety from seasame chicken, general chicken, to fried shrimp, sweet n sour chicken. They had sushi which as okay nothing spectacular about it. Your common rolls Philadelphia, California,etc. the hiabachi was okay. I had the crawfish there and it was not tobad for a buffet. But of course I live in Houston where Cajun restaurants are popping up like crazy. Service was good and speedy. The place looked clean and they seemed to be attentive to making sure the food was stocked up. read more

If you like the taste of other people's hands, I've got a place for you...The bowls they use on their buffet are just the right shape so that the tongs/ladles fall back into the dish. So you not only get the pleasure of digging the tongs out of each menu item, you also get to taste the hands of each and every member of the Springdale community. read more

It's a Chinese buffet. Everything tastes good in the first minute, then it goes downhill fast. They do have decent sushi. I just wish they would put a little more effort into making the buffet dishes taste better and cleaner. It can be done. read more

Had the teriyaki chicken, boneless spare ribs and white rice. The terajaki chicken reminds me of home because is the only place they served it on a stick, just like Spanish pinchos, rice was awesome like really, can they make bad white rice ever? LoL that's there #1 item LoL, the boneless spare ribs were too sweet for me, a bit of weird taste as well but they were delicious indeed, price a bit on the high side but very good food, 90% Jose Approved! read more

Golden Dragon Buffet - Terayaki chicken on a stick, reminds me of Jose Jalapeño on a stick jajaja - Buffets Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Gross, terrible buffet. Not good quality food. The sushi was not Good and everything else was bland to bad. No thanks never again and in general avoid chinese buffets like the plague and this is why. Just awful ! read more

Ordered a lunch special to-go and when I got back to work 10 minutes later food was still HOT HOT HOT! I had to wait a few minutes to dive in. The fried rice was very fresh with carrots,peas, and nice size pieces of onion. Sesame chicken was sweet and just right. Portions were average. Eggrolls were slighty above average in taste ifor Northwest Arkansas and were of average size. Waitstaff was very accomadating and I believe my meal was a value for the price of $6.50 + tax. I glanced at the buffet and it looked fresh and full and the presentation was better than most. I will be returning :-) read more

Went at 2:00, been a long time since the last time we ate there(loved it then) food was all pretty old (not fresh) even though there were quite a few customers there. Even the sushi was dried up from age, and condiments had visual signs of being left out too long. Oh, and no Kim-chee! What's up with that!! Service was good, got plenty to drink.. Will say that! Don't think I'll be coming back soon. read more

Out of all the Chinese buffets in nwa I would choose this one over them all... even though they all serve to same food and all taste the same this one seems to bit a tad fresher and the workers there seem to be some what more happy than other Chinese buffet locations.... Sushi at Chinese buffets are always nasty but this one is actually decent and always fresh... Would I go back? Yes I would. read more

My first trip to Golden Dragon was interesting.. First thing I noticed was the how dark and drab the atmosphere was.. No problem though, as the food looked good.. At one point I asked a worker where the plates were and he responded ........"HUH?" as if totally oblivious to his surroundings.. Kind of in a daze.. Once I got to the food, I found some of it ok, but other items sub-par.. Mostly looked like old food, and not fresh (as in, reheated from the day previous) and just generally was not too appealing.. I do not plan on returning.. read more

Pretty good buffet. We came at 9PM, thinking that it was too late for crab legs. But, my dad expressed his frustration and about 15 min later, BAM! Crab legs for us. Haha! Selection was nice, especially the frog legs, crab legs, and the variety of sushi! Wish the server would have refilled my drink more, but I guess it's fine. Overall, I would come back again. read more

Golden Dragon Buffet - Lots and lots of crab legs! :) Lol - Buffets Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Ok, nothing extraordinary but nothing bad either. All in all typical of Chinese buffet.

This place is amazing !!! I come eat here when i crave chinese ... the sushi is also amazing and its pretty cheap

I love golden dragon, I definitely recommend the sushi. You should try it! The workers are very nice. dessert is amazing as well. I never had anything wrong with it! read more

Solid Chinese buffet. Food was good and restaurant was clean. The ice cream was fantastic. I have low standards for Chinese buffet but the Golden Dragon exceeded them. read more

Not a fan of the golden dragon. All the chicken was chewy. Not many options for kids. I will have to say it was the best cheese Rangoons I ever had. The atmosphere is good and, the place was clean, the food just wasn't that good. Even the fortune cookie wasn't very good. I won't be going back to Golden Dragon unless I want Rangoons. read more

I have been here a couple of times. My food has always been good and I get plenty of it. I have not tried the buffet yet. I always order to go. One time my order did not go through online and when I showed up it was not ready. But the manager threw in an extra egg roll, which I thought was nice, and they promptly got my food ready. I really like this place and will keep going back. Buffett looks huge by they way. read more

Friendly people. Food Tastes like American food NO Asian flair just looks Asian Not very clean area. Poor food turn over time Salty salty crab legs. Will not return with my family Ive made better in my kitchen read more

As soon as I took the first bite it was a regrettable decision...it got worse from there...the buffet has overcooked and flavorless dishes...the sushi was made with what looked and tasted like canned tuna and straight up mayo...I wish I could give this --5 read more

We ate there for lunch today. It has to be one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The food was nauseating - it literally made me sick to my stomach. even the place where you pick out your meat and vegetables and give it to the man to grill fresh was terrible. He didn't speak English at all, and I could not get him to understand that I did not want any sauce. When he was finished, he just set it on the counter and didn't bother to let me know it was ready, and he walked off. I couldn't eat it. It was terrible. The smell in the men's bathroom didn't help: it almost finished me off. It was also overpriced. We will never go back. read more

First of all, I have never been to China so I have no idea what authentic Chinese food should taste like. Apparently lots of people have been to China. Anyway, the rat-on-a-stick was good. The squeaky beans were good. The spring rolls were good. The food was fresh and tasty, whatever it was. If it was Chinese or not, I enjoyed it. read more

Horrible buffet. When the best thing on the entire buffet is the deep fried mushrooms....time to eat elsewhere. The food was very bland and mostly tasteless. The texture was either mush or jerky tough. Once was enough for me. The wait staff was even worse than the food. Can't say they were rude because no one ever spoke to me!!! Just standing in front of you staring at you I guess means "what do you want to drink?" Throwing a ticket wallet down in front of you seems to mean "pay your bill"!! The dirty look I gave them on my way out definitely meant "I'll never be back"!!!!! read more

The best selection of Asian food in the Springdale. The sushi bar is excellent, but the gentleman who prepares the sushi speaks no English, he's not ignoring you, he just doesn't understand what you're saying. The restaurant is clean, the staff are courteous and remember you! All in all a excellent place to eat and worth the money~ read more

Would have given it 3 stars after the first time...2 stars after the 2nd and a borderline 1-2 after my most recent...seems that the food has done downhill a little bit and some of the items are of a little questionable quality. However, it's very clean inside and looks relatively nice when compared to other Chinese buffets, so a 2-star it is. read more

Great food and great service. We went on Christmas Day and at least for that day, they definitely deserve 5 stars!

Everything at this place was inedible, except the potato logs. Do not waste your money. It was $30 for 2 of us. Terrible terrible terrible.

If you're out late and in the mood for a variety of all you can eat sushi and a hot buffet with lots of choices , this is the place. Staff was friendly and food is great. read more

This is a great Chinese-food buffet. Fresh food and nice selection.

Points for pleasant staff and good ice cream. There, was one guy on his phone a lot though. In fairness, it was 9pm but many flavors were not what I'm used to in CA or Las Vegas. Interesting that there were salt and pepper frog legs. It was the most authentic thong I saw. read more

Golden Dragon Buffet - Poor lighting in here - Buffets Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

Boss has taken us here about 6 times. Most items on buffet are not fresh. Hibachi is subpar. California rolls are okay. Service is inattentive. Expect a stomachache. read more

My son absolutely loves Chinese food. Out of the places we have tried in the area this is the best. My husband & son loves all the seafood choices. My favorite is the sweet and sour chicken. Overall the service is good. Food is checked multiple times to make sure it's fresh and hot. I kind of wish they had more of a selection but I will for sure keep going back. read more

Pretty good for a Chinese buffet. Typical items, but pretty expansive selection including crab legs and "sushi". Perfectly adequate for the price. Desserts were disappointing but not important to me. read more

In my honest opinion, this is by far the best buffet I've been to. The service is superb, the food(depending when you go and what the customer present have been eating) is nice and hot and delicious, go there every other weekend with my family to eat out. Not everyone has the same experience as me and that's a shame but I recommend it to everyone I know. read more

Unlimited quality sushi rolls... awesome Other foods are a bit oily. Crawfish was a bit bland. Rice was a little on the dry side. Chicken Yakitori was very tasty. Soups were very good. Dessert bar could use a little more variety. read more

Great food. Good selection. Warm. Fresh. Have eaten here about 30 times. Over priced and service is simply not friendly. I value friendly service. Can be crowded. I eat at a buffet with my wife about once a week, and would go here all the time, but instead go to Red Dragon that has half the selection, not always warm or fresh, but they treat you like family and it is 25% less. If you catch Red Dragon during regular hours, their food is fresh and warm and tasty. read more

When driving through springdale I've stopped here several times. The food is great. It's clean and the staff is always nice. Oh and the food is always good and they have a good selection. read more

loved it. their family pack served 4.5 people for 28.40. Not badly priced and delicious.
