Very nice people and very good food
“Greatest Chinese place I’ve ever had The best part of Saint albans” Professional food connoisseur - Jake
I've been going here for more than 10 years, and it's always been the best Chinese place around. Looking at some of these reviews, giving 1 star due to a buffet not being loaded and fresh half an hour before close is crazy. I normally go around the optimized times, and I've had nothing but a great time. And even when I get there at a slow time and the food isn't super fresh, I don't complain because that's to be expected. Still good food either way. In fact, I'm going up there later today
Great food. Excellent General Tso’s Chicken. Everything seemed fresh on the buffet. A bit run down inside, but food and service made up for it.
This Chinese place is the absolute BEST I've ever ate at. The food is so good & so fresh! It's definitely a 12/10. The waitresses are so nice as well as everyone there. 100% recommend.
I've come here a million times in my life, being from St Albans where it's located. The buffet is smaller than most but very consistent. The food is great. I tend to always get the same things but it's still delicious and awesome. Place has a very home style feel to it but again that may be because I'm from here. I've been to many Chinese restaurants in my life but through all of it this one is always my favorite.
I have upgraded my initial star rating because I think they have improved in recent years. I typically will order a couple dishes from the menu and take it home to eat but lately I've been doing the buffet to go instead and I feel like I'm getting a good value and a great selection. I'm my opinion the Dragon Garden ties with the China Buffett in Kanawha City for the areas best Crab Rangoon. My favorite dish at Dragon Garden is the crispy chicken.
So far so good, I've been sick the last couple of days and egg drop soup is the absolute best when you're not feeling good. The soup was delicious and only the first time I ate here, I'll be going back at least one more time.
Honestly it was not really a big fan of this place, I have been there before, but I'm not really a big fan of this place, because the food is inconsistent several times in the past the food was really good, but this last time that I went the chicken was dry and the rice was old it tasted like. And my girlfriend had the veggie rice and for some reason there is mushrooms in the veggie rice I'm not sure what that does there to be honest. I like mushrooms but these looked like they were undercooked so didn't really have any taste or flavor to them.
The food is good, but the lady that’s usually up front is rude & she weighed my food , it said 24.65 then adds the bag, sauce and chop sticks… then weighed it AGAIN to be charged 26 something 🙄
Seems to have went downhill recently. The food is good, as long as you are there when it is busy. Otherwise you will have dried up, hard chicken. We never got a refill at all...she put is on the far side and I assume she just forgot about us. We had to go ask for the check. Honestly felt like we were not welcome, for lack of a better way of saying it.
Good food but saw a roach crawling across the desert section and ruined it all
The food was cold and had no taste. I was very disappointed. And as I was leaving I told the lady checking me out and she just made a face when I told her. She didn’t even say sorry or anything I will never eat there again and I’m not one that usually complains about places
The food quality and selection was worse than a hospital. For $40 for 2 adults and a kid go get literally anything else.
You figure ordering takeout you'd have fresh general tso... mine seemed to come off of the old buffet and I could barely chew it and basically couldn't eat anything but the rice. At least the egg roll seemed fresh.
Generals tsos had bones in it. Pepper chicken was nearly ice cold and very hard to chew. By far the worst American chinese food I have ever had.
I hate to leave bad reviews - but there is a first time for everything. I cannot believe this place is even open. All the buffet food was cold and dry. No other patrons should have been a sign. We barely picked at our food but the service staff didn't seem to care. No other customers and didn't get a refill offer until they brought the bill- which was higher than expected.
One of the worst we have ever been to, Food was burnt and dried out had easily been sitting out for hours. Waitress was rude and when asked if fresh food was going to be put out we were completely ignored without a response at all defiantly will not return we will go back to China King hands down 100% better my advice drive a little further it's worth the wait
Came in for the buffet about 45 minutes before close tonight. We were quickly seated and given our drinks however when we went up to the buffet it was nearly empty. No honey chicken, no bourbon chicken, or BBQ chicken. The sweet and sour chicken was small left overs with barely any meat in them. Only 2 or 3 old dried out pork rolls, the shrimp was empty, and only a few old mozzarella sticks. I made a plate with what I could find and everything had been under the heat lamps at the buffet and beyond their hold times and dried up. I asked the waitress if they could atleast make some more of the honey chicken which they did. Only problem was what the old man brought out was more bread than chicken and were hard. So all in all I paid over $30 for 2 dinner buffets and only got dried out old food and 2 Mellow Yellows in return. I do NOT recommend stopping here for dinner if its anywhere close to closing time.
