    a plate of food
    Sandy F.

    First visit, was a bit concerned because of the typically low ratings. Food was flavorful, nice variety, , hot, even the jello was sweet unlike other places, excellent service and attention. Reasonable prices at 13.99 and pepsi products at 2.99. Clean restrooms. I didn't like the gratuity fee of 15% for a party of 5 for a buffet (and I'm a decent tipper) never heard of this before. I tipped a little more anyway because they were very accommodating and attentive but I still don't think the gratuity is appropriate for a buffet. Also, some of the sesame chicken and honey chicken was hard, pizza was almost burned to a crisp (see pic). We went at 5:30 and there weren't that many customers. Overall, recommend and we will definitely return. There was a fly that kept buzzing around so that's something that needs to be fixed.

    Got me in, got me right, got me out. Fantastic service, love the decor and the atmosphere, places like this are special. You can tell that this restaurant was a project of dreams. The garlic bread was fantastic, best in destin.

    Labels were all wrong
    Ti N.

    First off. This is the first "Asian buffet" that makes you pay before you eat, besides this I only know that Golden Corral does it. 2nd they labeled everything completely wrong. So that was very useless. 3rd. What kind of buffet doesn't serve ice cream? The hibachi part. For the first 10-20 min no one was there to attend us. So everyone left their plates there until the guy came to do so. Yet the meats weren't fresh what so ever and been sitting out for quite a while. They barley had any choices. Guess my expectations are just too high for an Asian buffet down here in destin. Disappointed. I only give them 2 stars because after having dinner here. My daughter was able to make a dirty diaper the following morning because she hasn't been able to the entire day. So thanks for that.

    Fortune Cookie was the best part of Dragon!

    Food isn't bad. They have sadly cut alot of options over the years. Sushi seems to get replenished…read moreat random long intervals. Other than the lunch hours, the food tends to sit too long on the buffet line. Service is really bad. You get your initial drinks. But after that, the only time a server visits your table is when they clear plates while you're away getting a new one. I usually have to get up and ask someone for the check. It's not a bad experience. Just not a good one.

    7/15/26 update:…read more I was in town in Navarre and brought my entire family here for dinner. After the good experience I had in the last few times. We came here on a Wednesday night and there was not many people in the parking lot. We were seated right away. I went up to get what I normally love here's. The crawfish. This time, the crawfish was cold and the inside were black and tasted horrible. It tasted not fresh. The frog legs were not stocked and I had to wait 30 min before they brought some out. I didn't try anything else because everything looked like it's been sitting out for hours. Waitress service was slow and I had to ask for my refill. I am not sure what happened here as I gave this place such a high rating, but not this time. The ice cream bar was super unsanitary and the water that is dripping on the spoon was nasty and dirty. I probably won't be back again when I am in town again. You can chance it if you're feeling adventurous.
