Dragon City Buffet in Red Deer

One of the best buffet place I have ever been to grab your family and enjoy wonderful food great service and surprisingly affordable prices thank you guys

Food is always good...Fast and no waiting time...

Large piece of metal was almost consumed and spit out last second. Disgusted.

This was a horrid experience they kept insisting for me to eat the chicken feet although I didnt want them they also have nasty plates do not ever come here it will give you nightmares

Outstanding buffet with an affordable price. We went on a lunch hour on a Sunday. Buffet included some brunch items along with their all day Chinese food features. All the food look fresh with a consistent refills by the wait staff. I especially enjoyed their fried chicken which was better that Jollybee or Popeyes. They had limited beef dishes but I can understand with the high cost of beef these days. Went for seconds and finished with a scoop of bubble gum ice cream. I was impressed with the Chinese Tea which came in a nice big pot with loose tea ( not bags ), the real McCoy that I would get in Hong Kong. They offer seniors prices which gives you a few bucks off. So a very filling Weekend lunch Buffet for two, Pot of Tea and Gratuity 10% and GST $41.58 I rated the Atmosphere only 3 stars as it was noisy with families and a large gathering of friendly First Nations.

Good food. One our favorites.

Average buffet food. Same as any buffet that is good.

Always great. Best in town we think

Generally nice. We enjoyed it. Thanks Food : 4/5

Had wonton soup enough fir two meals

The best Chinese in Red Deer

Awesome

Yummy food

Havnt been here since pre covid and not much has changed. Still your classic buffet and not bad for value if your a bigger eater but its about $20 a plate with no drink and when I visited it was 4 pm trying to beat the dinner rush but the food out wasnt the freshest and there was alot that just wasnt there with lots of empty bins. Its not wow but it is one of the better ones in the city.

Worst chinese food I have ever had. Many empty trays and not very good food. Ripoff restaurant.

Always a fantastic spread here at dragon gate and the price is very affordable!

Lots of varieties, good food, nice staff.

The Roast Beef is amazing! My personal favorite. Perfectly seasoned & great quality. The Calimari was perfectly cooked & flavorful. Weve never had a bad meal or experience at Dragon City & will continue to frequent their restaurant.

Was there Sunday at 4 pm. Buffet well stocked and Cold. More food came out. Cold. Sat us in a corner never got drinks. Family of 4 for$100. Will never do this again.

Food is always yummy. Never had an issue.

Fist time eating here and did not disappoint. Friendly staff, lots of food options and reasonable priced buffet. The AC was a little brutal. I waitress acknowledge it before we sat down or mentioned it and said we were welcome to move (stuck it out) but otherwise oval was satisfied.

Always really enjoy ourselves when we come here.

June 23rd 2024 . Cost vs benefit . recommended. We pay $25 CAD per adult. We ate everything! The menu is very complete: there is chicken, meat, turkey, soups, cold bar, fish...desserts, etc. The place is very spacious and clean. Definitely on your return from Calgary to Edmonton, or from Edmonton to Calgary . It is an excellent option to eat.

Wanted bean spouts was none Asked for beer they forgot it Food

Food was great many choices of western and Chinese

This place has made me feel aweful time and time again . Won t go back

It was such a nice change from other places we have visited as the foods didnt all have that same flavor of being cooked in the same grease. Which was fantastic! We were seated in a bit of an odd spot as our son was constantly get his chair nudged by ppl going to and from the buffet. The issue we had was immediately after supper, I had an extremely upset stomach and got sick.. Also both my husband and I both had to make an emergency washroom break with not a second to spare a half hour later.. then again almost every hour for the next day.. the cramps and general yuck feeling sucked... Not sure why but that was extremely not fun

Nice place, good food and good service

Best Almond sue guy anywhere

Excellent buffet best value in town

good food , good selection of buffet food

Service was great!! Floors were a little dirty.

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids Food

Its ok. Hadnt been in years and the food is good, just always gives me indigestion afterward.

Excellent choices of meats, turkey, shrimps, and other side dishes. Clean Place and food is fresh. Staff is super friendly. Only thing is that we missed the sushi and there was no refill and thats what my son wanted to eat so he was sad. Kid-friendliness: High chairs, staff is super friendly with children.

We ordered takeout for two. Pork ribs, chop suey and rice were okay, chicken was tough and the extra ginger beef was also tough. Just the egg rolls rated good. Wont spend our money here again

Its a very busy place with great food and wonderful service. They have yummy treats and ice cream as well as fresh veggies and steamed rice and dumplings too. It can feel a little crowded at times, but always good for a night out with friends or family. Theres a little of everything, so its easy to find something youre craving or just want to try. The servers are friendly, but mostly keep busy cleaning or bringing drinks/ orders. They are quick and stealthy when it comes to taking plates! Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs for babies and they allow children, but with how crowded and busy it can be, I wouldnt let them run around. It would be easy to run into someone carrying a plate with hot food!

Food is good. Cant complain about the price as well.

It was really nice surrounds . The blue hair waitress was great . The baby was so cute greeting us at the door. Very nice people & great food.

Came here today with my family and it was great! Great fresh food, nice decor and atmosphere and great service. It was quiet for lunch so that was nice. They have a great selection on the buffet (Chinese, breakfast, soups, fries, salad, fruit, sushi) as well as dim sum, squares, cakes, tarts and hard and soft ice cream for deserts. I ll come back and recommend it as a safe bet you ll enjoy the food!

Our family had dinner there on family day. It was quite busy but we were seated quickly. The food was hot, fresh and restocked frequently. We have been there several times and the experience is usually the same. I am impressed with the system they have. Servers are buzzing around constantly, cleaning tables for new guests and keeping tables clean for those already seated. Continues to be our go-to buffet

This time food was better than the last time..

Fantastic time with the family, food was a little slow to refill but it was also a full house so its understandable

Good foods

Dragon City does offer a great selection of buffet food and for a decent price .. Several soups, western and Chinese food, dim sum, a variety of desserts, no reason to leave until youre well fed !

It is a good restaurant, with good service, and good food, but I would need some more options on the menu to choose from. And the atmosphere is good but a little a little dirty inside from time to time

Good buffet

It was great I love the atmosphere and the food was kickass and the waitresses were GORGEOUS

Was busy...but yummy as always!

Food was cold uncooked pork in dumplings pink n frozen greasy gross had few bites left and was sick before I reached my vehicle. Do not eat here

Good food and service! The renovations are beautiful! Food

Fair priced buffet. Food was good, they maintained smaller portions at the buffet and refilled regularly. Can handle larger groups

Great place for lunch or supper friendly staff

Lovely night out. Late on smorgasbord. Could be fresher but wide variety and very tasty in Chinese and other cuisines. Good Daye. Good job

I love dragon city great won ton soup waters are all ways full and dirty dishes are taken right away

Excellent supper buffet, loved the pan fried shrimp ! Also loved that they had a dim sum area. Price was very reasonable .

I had two plates from the buffet and went home with Chinese restaurant syndrome , to the point I woke up in the middle of the night with extreme acid reflux

If you want to listen to dope 80s and 90s hip hop and R&B music come dine here. But let me warn you, the music comes with cold, old, nasty food and probably a diarrhea after. I will update you guys lol.

Food is always great. Complaint on kids pricing I just feel ages 3-9 is a big difference in what they can/do consume.

Lots of menu items. Best Chinese food Ive found in Alberta yet. Not up to par with B.C. though, but very good.

It was busy, but the servers were very quick to get us to our table. We had a buffet for lunch, which did not disappoint. They are always very friendly and quick to clear your dishes that you are done with. Parking: It is a shared parking lot with other businesses with a large parking area. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is ground level, and the main door is level with the ground, making it easier to get into the restaurant. There are lots of tables where a chair could be moved for a wheelchair. I didnt go into the washroom, so I dont know about wheelchair accessibility.

We had a great waitress

Good wonton soup. Friendly professional staff. Most dishes on the buffet are standard westernized chinese interpretations, and are neutral in spice. Nothing is offensive, but nothing is spectacular. Small dim sum selection but very good dumplings. Big issue I have is that steam trays can sit empty for far too long before they are replenished. If you cant have food put out when you open at 11am, dont open at 11am.

Buffet is ok, but 80+$ for 2 adults and 2 kids under 10 is ridiculous. Got take out tonight, and it was on par with Manchu-Wok.

Its okay. Friendly staff.

Nice friendly hard working girls

Good food with great selection also good service will be visiting again

Staff slow. Food ok.

The food was delicious. Would go back again

Its good food if its hot. Have had cold mashed potatoes here before, yuck who wants cold potatoes. But the food and staff are usually really good

We had a good experience Very friendly staff !

Everything great but kinda pricey

Best Chinese food for a buffet.

Food is always hot and fresh. The staff are friendly and quick to serve and clean used dishes from table. The restaurant is very clean and well maintained.

Watch out for your things in this place. We went there for buffet and my kid left the phone on the chair. While on the buffet. Our tracker says the phone is there but someone stole it and they deny it.

Buffet Very friendly and attentive staff we were asked almost every 5 minutes if we were okay or needed water and they would just refill once we were close to empty. Huge difference from our buffet we regularly go to in calgary where we aren t even acknowledged, maybe once or twice and when we need anything it feels like we are begging for water refills, napkins and they are cold and we feel as we are bothering them by asking. It was super busy and they still made us and the surrounding tables priority. I m glad I went to with my pregnant intuition to give it a try even after several bad reviews about not having fresh food or great service. I have to say every single item that I tried was absolutely delicious and full of flavour and they were refilling even when a sign of low amount was showing. Huge amount of sweets which I ve been craving the most during this pregnancy a variety of Cakes, ice creams, pies, jello and fruits. I have a super picky toddler who usually just sticks to her basic nuggets and fries and she tried a bunch and enjoyed it all! Will definitely be back when we visit next time!! Even when the servers were busy polishing and making the cutlery sets they were asking if everything was okay! Parking: Lots of spaces Kid-friendliness: Very good for kids and they were very nice to our toddler, we usually get harassed about her age and they didn t even ask us they assumed she was under 3, which she is!

Awesome experience that I have during my visit this place...from food to the people working here

The foods are awesome I really like it....people too who attended us are so nice

Very yum

The food was excellent, but they only had ginger pork, no ginger beef.

A/C had my food and coffee ice cold.

Eat here only if you want to get sick

The staff were friendly enough and accommodating, but disappointment on the food, the ginger pork was like eating leather, some of the food was just warm not very fresh, maybe it was our timing, unfortunately, it won t be my choice for Chinese cuisine again.

Great food, all fresh and came out often. Service was great as well

The service was good but the food didn t taste very fresh, like maybe yesterday s reheat. My husband and I both got horrible food poisoning.

Lots of Oriental and Western foods to choose from, as well as desserts, including soft and hard ice cream. Its a fairly busy place at meal time but you can have a plate of hot food from the buffet in 5 minutes or less. Wheelchair accessibility: I believe there is handicap parking within a few feet of the front entrance. The entrance has 2 sets of double doors about 5 apart which can be challenging for a single person in a wheelchair to manage, but fine if you have an able-bodied friend with you.

My server was great

love the salt and pepper prawn and hot&sour soup, yumyum!!

We were traveling for summer holidays and stopped in for dinner. 5 out of 5! Service was fantastic, they were friendly and super efficient! The cooks came out of the kitchen so many times while we were there to check that the buffet was well stocked, each time they came out, they wiped all around the buffet area cleaning up any little spills... The food was delicious! A lot of variety and the price was very reasonable - especially for an all you can eat buffet. Top Notch!!! Red Deer is very lucky to have this little gem!

An hour away from where we live, we decided to try this Chinese styled buffet restaurant. IT was amazing. So many food options everything tasted wonderful. The best part about it was the ice cream. You have to try the ice cream! They had so many different quality ice cream flavors! Chocolate orange, chocolate mint, bubble gum, strawberry, maple, cotton candy, chocolate, soft vanilla if you wanted! I would pay the amount just to go eat all that ice cream. It was soooo good.

Friendly staff and atmosphere. Large selection of both Western and Chinese dishes. With todays prices, going out for dinner is pricey. A group of four can expect to spend a couple of hundred dollars easy and get an appetizer, an entrée and a drink. Why not have the luxury of over 100 items, including salad bar, deserts, appetizers, and a number of entrée possibilities for about 20 bucks a person? And eat as much as you want? Excellent and affordable!! Way to go, Lilly and Sam Bao, owners and operators for over 30 years in Red Deer!

Western and Asian selections, including some traditional dim sum items that are pretty good. Clean dining room and washrooms. Friendly service. Full roast beef and roast turkey they day i was there, nicely seasoned. Huge pot of green tea! Prices are average for nowadays. If youre looking for a decent Asian buffet in this berg, can recommend this one.

Always good when we go!

Food was fresh, great flavor and was always being filled

Liked the dim sum options. Creme puff were pretty good. They were quick on p8xking up the plates

AWESOME STAFF!!

Very friendly staff, food is good hot and tasty.

Tasty and beautiful

Great selection of items. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Super friendly staff and enjoyed the waitresses singing.

Its a buffet, you dont expect the food or the atmosphere to be good, but my lovely Bride likes it. Im WAY TO OLD to be able to eat $20 worth of food.

Recently we had a staff appreciation lunch here, it was freaking amazing. The only issue was I ate waaaaaay to much! Ill be back soon.

My sons favorite place to eat in red deer

It is much better to go here rather than a restaurant elsewhere because of the price inflation just really hits us ya know (thanks trudumb ) so try this place so you wont have to spend more money somewhere else!

Not the worst pleace for sure. The food was fresh and tasted well. Unfortunately, selection wasnt the best. There are only very few options to choose from, and that was dinner time on Saturday. Phenix have by far, a better selection.

We came in at 2:45pm on Sunday and there was a lot of cold food, but they corrected that brought fresh food. The waitress was verily friendly and helpful. Kid-friendliness: They were very accommodating for our toddler.

Not to bad

An excellent Chinese buffet with good western style dishes to offer those not wishing for Asian style. Im not a seafood expert, but I liked their offerings.

Awesome place to eat. Great food hot and delicious

Got food Poisoning wouldnt recommend it

Its hard to comment on food, Ive had better, Ive had worse. I didnt try everything, there was a very large selection and the place was quite busy. Given how many people were there, I would say there must be enough people that enjoy it. If Im in Red Deer again, I wouldnt mind going again. Kid-friendliness: Kids enjoyed the large selection of food and desserts.

Good assortment of food, but most meat is coated in some form of batter like you d expect of most Chinese food. However, on the day we went (showed up right at beginning of 4pm dinner when you d expect fresh) all the meat was very over cooked and very dry. Small dessert selection however I was very happy to see fried red bean sesame mochi balls. Id go back just for those !

Family wanted to eat there. They like a big pig out and they were not disappointed. would rather eat a meal somewhere else with a better atmosphere for the same money.

Massive choices of food for lunch and dinner. Great flavours. Affordable! Friendly staff.

Best stay in for the buffet if eating here...anytime I get take-out not as good and Luke warm!

Busy but they always have good and fresh food.

We ordered almost $80 worth of Chinese food to get delivered. It was the worst Chinese food we ever had. We normally have gotten good food from here. However, we haven t ordered for over a year so maybe the owners have changed? Anyways, we will never order again from there. The food was disgusting.

Always great food. Only place on Red Deer that I eat Chinese

Have loved this place for 25 years and still enjoy it. I dont mind the new renovations except the previous wall art was much nicer. Highly recommend

Went out for dinner with a coworker. Food was fresh and flavourful. Would definitely come back. Each dish was uniquely seasoned and very satisfying

Middle of the lane buffet. The price per plate seems really steep. Over $100 for 4 of us (2 daughters are 12 and 13). Definitely wont be returning anytime soon .

Great place for buffet. Delicious!

I will definitely keep coming back, the people in this establishment literally turned off the washroom lights so I could use it. Thank you Lynn.

Stopped for the lunch buffet, which I do every month or two when I am in Red Deer. Usually it is good, but today it was borderline horrible. Quite a few of the food trays were left almost empty for up to twenty minute with only a few pieces in them. Changed from Ginger Beef to Ginger Pork which after a few minutes on your plate were so tough it was almost impossible to cut with your fork. Drowned them with sauce, I guess so you couldnt tell what it was. The dessert section had only about half the selection than the usual. Someone better smarten up or this place with be out of business soon. I will never return.

Was the manager or owners bday. Some kind of yam cake. Phenomenal.
