Absolutely Disgusting! Total waste of time and money!Would have given big fat Zero. If possible!
We should have read the previous reviews first and saved us the pain and suffering of the god awful meal.
We went there for lunch and once we were sat down at table #4, we never seen them again. They did not even come back to fill up our water or ask how we were enjoying the food. (They probably already knew the answer!)
From the first bite to the last bite was totally tasteless. The Hot and Sour Soup was burnt and the Wonton Soup tasted like they just added hot water to the Wontons, No Broth! Ginger Pork?, seriously! Little pieces of rubber disguised in a tasteless reheated sauce. The Fried Chicken that most places get right was tasteless and dried out. Obviously, yesterday's left overs and reheated and over done. Basically everything was overcooked, tasteless, dried out or burnt! Even their brownie desert was pasty and not cooked. I could hardly wait to get home and brush my teeth to get the awful taste out of my mouth!
Will never be back. Time for them to CLOSE THEIR DOORS!

We stopped by Dragon City Buffet when we were visiting Sylvan Lake, and it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise.
The price is very reasonable, especially for kids. Children usually don’t eat that much, so the pricing feels fair and family-friendly.
The place is not very big, but the food is tasty and the quality truly matches the price. My wife and kids really enjoyed it, which matters a lot to us when traveling as a family.
Honestly, I find the food here better than many Chinese buffet or Chinese dishes I’ve tried in Edmonton. Simple, affordable, and satisfying. We would definitely stop by again when passing through Red Deer.

Coming here from backcountry camping did not disappoint! The options of food, the flavour were all so good! I loved the variety, there was something for everyone. But personally, this place had really great chinese food! And the food kept tasting fresh!! I loved the dessert options too! If you’re in Red Deer, this is a must!!

Great food, always hot at the buffet. It is our favourite place to go for a weekend buffet. Tons to choose from, I personally prefer the lunch one, but my wife absolutely loves seafood, so the dinner buffet is more for her.
I also sometimes get takeout, and the new bags they use, that are insulated, are a wonderful idea!

First time being there, on our way to Calgary from red deer. We were so hungry. And this place didn't disappoint. The one thing I really liked, that they don't have a huge selection, therefore the quality of the food was so good! I personally, do not like buffets, when they have too many options, cause the quality, usually isn't great. Hard to fo quality control. So the food was really good. Especially, roast beef. I had a huge piece! Our server was Lyn. Very kind and sweet lady. She was on top of things. Not skipping a beat! Very friendly. And she was working hard. Running around, making sure everyone had everything. Very impressed with her service. Definitely, coming back! Service is great, food is very good!
So to everyone, that wants quality buffet for a good price and great service, this is the place to go! You won't regret it.
