Great Dragon Buffet

Ordered delivery to try this place out. They said it would be 45 – 60 minutes for time. Over an hour later the food arrived. The delivery guy didn’t seem to realize how long we were waiting. No «Sorry for the delay».
Food quality was ok, not the best. The egg roll and cheese wontons were small. I had the beef and broccoli. The beef was really chewy. The other half had pork with broccoli. He liked his, had big slices of pork.
Not sure if we will try again. Maybe if we are sick and just want food delivered?

Great lunch spot in downtown St. Cloud, buffet have a nice selection, love the general tso’s chicken/​sweet sour chicken/​lo mein/​fried rice, they else have take-​out and nice menu selection, will come back again!

$ 10 for AYCE dinner. Food was just alright. Nothing special, but I generally like Chinese food a lot so I wouldn’t rule out going there again. I didn’t care for the General Tso Chicken or the spicy pork. No snow pea dish or green beans. Boo. Fried rice was bland without soy sauce and the chow mein was greasy. Sweet and sour pork was dry and the dessert was utterly forgettable. You don’t usually go to Chinese restaurants for dessert though. I observed some questionable food serving procedures. Wife took a food safety class and told me that you’re never supposed to mix old food with new when refilling a dish, especially when it contains meat. The place lacks ambiance and as I write this review, I’m wondering whether or not I really will go back.

I’m typically not a fan of buffets. However, I was recommended this place from a friend of mine in St. Cloud whom I trust. Upon coming here for the first time, I was a little unsure because I have had many bad experiences in a lot of buffets. It turns out I was worried for nothing. In fact, I was impressed with the quality of everything.
This is by far the best buffet I have ever been to! I have since been here a few other times (I don’t make it to St. Cloud often). If I lived in the city, I would be going to this buffet much more often. I have always had fantastic experiences at this place. The buffets are reasonably priced. I can get a good all-​you-​can-​eat meal and not have to worry about the price.
The employees are always friendly and welcoming. They often walk around the place to make sure everybody is doing okay and to make sure nobody has an empty water cup. They are also helpful at any accommodations that one may need. For instance, I once saw a woman who had a cast on her arm and wanted the buffet. A couple of the employees went out of their ways to help her out so she does not have to worry about any accidents. I rarely see this type of generosity from buffet employees.
The employees also do a fantastic job at making sure the food in the buffet is fresh and hot. I have noticed that the employees keep an eye on that detail often. I have never once had a problem with stale or bad food. The food is delicious, no matter what I put on my plate. Their selection is a little smaller than what I’ve seen in the average buffet, but that’s not a big deal (sometimes, less is more).
The employees also do a fantastic job at keeping everything clean and organized. I have never once had a problem with a dirty table or chair.
All and all, this is a fantastic buffet that I would recommend to anybody living in or around St. Cloud. I will continue coming back when I make it to the area.

Good cheap place for college students. Go for lunch and get a take out = 2 meals!

I think I ate here more than any other place in St Cloud when I was living with my parents. I loved it at first, when I think they were getting more business. But then they weren’t as busy the salad bar seemed less fresh. It was still good for cheap asian-​like food but not 4 star quality. Love the sugar donut thingies (like any asain salad bar, haha).
Also the sweet pics on the wall faded over the years :-(

Well, it is Chinese food as usual but this place does have great choices. I specifically recommend the shrimp.

It’s small.
Very small.
But what the Great Dragon Buffet lacks in size, it more than makes up for in substance. My friends and I eat here all the time. Sure, the Super Buffet and China Star have more, but the food at the Great Dragon is so much better.
Always warm and fresh with great service. The atmosphere, though… eh, it’s the same as every Chinese buffet.
