Golden Dragon Restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie

The buffet and food are so good. Parking: It has a lot of parking spots. Food : 5/5 |

Huge price hike for theyre buffet. Cashier/owner is crusty. Food

Great food I had the buffet and it was amazing

Most pots were empty and ones with something it was old and dried out. Just stay home and have a tasty home cooked healthy meal. Time for them to retire. Food

Im not sure how much MSG theyre using, but it seems like a lot. I had a full-blown MSG reaction despite having eaten at Asian restaurants before without problems. After eating there today, I had every single one of the MSG symptoms indicated on Google, including nausea and dizziness. I was there earlier today, and I feel like Im going to vomit soon.

Great food, amazing price and nice service. Free coffee and tea refills and only $19 for lunch buffet with lots of options. Best place!

found a hair in my food. when i told the waiter all she did was look at the food and say well we found no hairs soooo . it was disgusting. i wonder how many pieces of hair i ate before i noticed. (i was on my second plate)

There was hair in the food and the servers were doing nothing about it, this was not my hair and i am distraught

I came here for a birthday party and here is what i think: So I was worried about food poisoning based on the reviews Ive read. But their chicken wings were cooked and the spicy ones were my favorite. I chose mostly low carb sides. Everything was hot and fresh tasting to me. Also the waitress is sarcastic but funny. So dont let that bother you. I recommend this place if looking for a buffet.

The food just wasnt good. And for 30 bucks, it makes it feel like more of a rip off. I may be from the states but food is food. The fried rice was dry. The only decent item was the spicy wings.

I got mushroom fried rice without mushrooms.Rice was not fresh but heated only.egg roll and chicken balls taste ok. Nothing special. Worst chinese in my life. Owner was very rude with some old female customers. They said they wont come again, i wont either. Save your money, dont go and waste for cheap taste and cheap people.

Got there late,They shouldnt have taken our orders. Ended up with the leftovers from the closed buffet. Food was cold, never ate it. Took it to leave, then threw it out.Felt rushed. Wasted my money.

Bit crowded and not a huge variety of food but overall its good food and you definitely wont leave hungry. Bathroom is small and dose not have an area to change a baby. The bathroom is down a long dark hallway. Staff is friendly and kindly did not charge my Austic daughter who literally ate nothing. Parking: In large plaza with good amount of free parking.

Totally love the waitresses there. Amazing always smiling and never have to wait for drinks or our order. Totally love golden dragon

Not great but ok in a pinch

This place is always phenomenal. Delicious food. Waitress is top notch #1 spot for years. Would absolutely recommend

Great food great service, strongly recommend the buffet, waitress is always friendly, and drinks as re brought quickly and very tasty mocktails Parking: Huge shared parking lot right infront of building Kid-friendliness: I see lots of kids having great times here. And I recall having amazing meals here as a child

Food was great, service horrific. Our server was miserable. Threw the cutlery at us, plunked water on table, never asked if we wanted drinks, and never returned until it was time to give us the bill, so too late to ask for drinks. I ve never not tipped in my life until today. Sadly, all servers suffer because of having to split tips with cranky!

We called them and their staff hung up on us twice, extreme disrespectful staff.

Im specifically rating the all you can eat experience. It was ok, price was ok, and atmosphere and service were ok. Cant go wrong when you want to stuff your face for a decent price.

All 14 of my teenage children were fed, absolutely stuffed and took a container home with them. They all had virgin strawberry daiquiri s for dirt cheap, chocolate milks, got refills and felt spoiled silly! The elderly host that greeted us at the door and his wife were matching the entire theme of their restaurant and came straight out of a rush hour 2 movie. The bathrooms, which is one place I always look in restaurants for expectations smelt nice, was clean, and well stocked. Our server was the entire Gem of the show and made us feel like we had private booking and we were her family! Even one of my boys, personally stayed behind to thank her at the end, we guessed her name during dinner because she was such an auntie feeling. We guessed it was: Betty, Roxanne, or Jo-anne. Turns out her name is Diane and she provided such speedy and efficient service that we didn t even know we ordered but felt she had know us for a long time, new what we like, and read our minds. The food was delicious and hot and had ever kid in my group trying new foods. They gave us cookies and offered us gums on our way out, I couldn t believe how quick we all ate, easy the service was, and how it didn t break my pocket. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend, I look forward to returning to the Sault st. Marie as this will always forever now be a place I will be stopping in my books from here on out! Vegetarian options: All kinds of options and willing need to modify your order to suit your needs, you don t find this kind of service everywhere. Dietary restrictions: Fulfilled every need and exceeded expectations Parking: Lots of close by parking! Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly and supper understanding supporting staff Wheelchair accessibility: Very easily accessible

Not a lot of options - the salad and dessert bar were basically empty. Taste of everything was kind of off, I didnt finish any plate. Probably wont return.

Went to pick up order. Very quick and the food was great as usual.

Always a great place for fresh take out ! Amazing owners and awesome service ! Support local A++++

We enjoyed our dinner. The staff were very accommodating.

I went here for the Buffet and I was not disappointed, definitely worth the price. The food was great and fresh, my only critique is that the carrot cake was dry. I would definitely recommend Golden Dragon.

Decent food and good service usually. Our last trip was for dinner. Very over priced for the selection of food available. We also had a different server than our usual and she was not nearly as good as the usual server. Never even came back to refill water. Maybe she was just having a bad day, that happens

I ordered Delivery and my order arrived very quick (20min), taste was great, phone ordering was easy and delivery person was pleasant.

Good food and service thanks

Food was very good. Great selection, and very fresh. Overall it was a great experience. If you are looking for a good buffet, this is your place.

Prices are high. Food and service were good.

Very plain taste Chinese food.

Yum! Theres not too many options here, but what is here is great! Nice quality, and gives that nostalgic Chinese buffet feel, perfect for the Chinese buffet cravings. Vegetarian options: Not the best for vegetarian options, they really lean into meat and seafood here, so while there are some options like rice and desert, I definitely wouldnt recommend if you are/are bringing someone who is vegetarian

The food was meh. We got the dinner for 5. The soup was good. It came with something that was just mush bean sprouts that we tossed in the trash.

The food is disgusting

Not the best buffet but ok

Never go there rude waitress complaining about a year old baby dropping food on the flootried to make the parents clean it up How would the treat a disabled individuals who did the same thing Time for the human rights board to investigate Food : 1/5

good food and very good waitresses

It was okay for the lunch special price. Chicken balls were good (still feel sorry for the little guys). Service was okay but server seemed a bit grumpy.

How people are rating this higher then 1 star is beyond me. Every item is defrosted, microwaved then sauce poored over. Old outdated place, but you cant tell from the outside. Even McDonalds is a better option. Dont be fooled like I was with the reviews!!

This place is just how I remember as a kid. Great atmosphere and a nice place to eat with kids. Consistently great food.

typical buffet.... selection about same as any buffet...might be because we showed up 90 min before.closing but selection seemed limited and felt like it had been there for a while... pricing seemed a bit much for what was offered but might be the area...

I ordered food for 2 delivery, and a little bit pricey but its okay. When I tasted the food, fried rice us bland and chicken is nit shredded but chop and just mixed into it. It does not taste right, same thing with their chicken chop suey. Im surprised I did not see cabbage and carrots into it just been sprout. It should not be an ingredients for this. The wanton soup is terrible, they just add soup into it not cook together. Im a traveller from Saskatchewan and this is a bad experienced Ive encountered in one of the Chinese restaurant in Sault Saint Marie. I WILL NOT RECOMMEDED THIS RESTAURANT!

I have been coming literally my whole life. Not every day obviously...but its the perfect place to go when I am tired of cooking or ordering fast food. I do miss the roasts that they use to have at the end of the buffet table... The service here is always top notch and friendly.

Havent been there for 25 yrs due to living overseas.... came back to Canada & thought Id take the family out for the buffet... its definitely NOT like it used to be.

Ate here the other night. We had the buffet. It was really good

The combonation plate was half empt. Every other time i get food from here the thing is filled not half empty. And the vegetables werent cooked they were hard. Got home and just cried.

Go there often. Food is usually pretty good. Havent been there too much since Covid tho

Great food, friendly service.

Was looking forward to takeout, a rude man demanded I pick up asap I leave in 15 mins. I was surprised my order was ready so quickly, was almost inedible, no flavour, eggroll was literally full of oil. Not what I expected.

I went there for dinner with my boyfriend and loved it. The trays were not always filled but at some point the staff made sure the food was there. I enjoyed the food and would eat there again. the staff was extremely nice and held a good conversation with my boyfriend and I.

Very simple and not authentic buffet. You better come early because its simply filled. Basic buffet menu.

I ve never had such horrible customer service from a restaurant until dealing with the man who picked up the phone at Golden Dragon restaurant tonight. My mother called to order some food, but from the conversation I overheard, they were clearly having trouble hearing each other. After the call she mentioned the total price seemed a lot less, so I decided to call back on my phone to confirm they had the order right. I heard the man fine, and told him I was calling to confirm the order on (x)Road because the sound on the other phone wasn t coming through clear. I also said the total seemed less than she thought. I told him the 4 THINGS we ordered: Chicken balls, sesame chicken, chicken fried rice and lo mein. He went over these items, but stated Oh, you ordered chicken balls? Ok if anything s wrong I ll call you back. Then hangs up. So, 15 mins later the driver shows up without the chicken balls. I called back the restaurant, same man picks up. I explain we just received our order and there s no chicken balls. For some reason, he asks me to read the receipt to him, which we both know is incorrect because he did not ADD this to the order, but I did what he asked and then he tells me because we didn t PAY for the chicken balls THERES NOTHING I CAN DO. And then HANGS UP ON ME! Hangs up on a customer! I was so disgusted. I wasn t yelling or cursing at him, or disrespecting. I called to confirm the order. I was shocked that we were simply calling to buy dinner from him he basically told us to F off. This place has definitely lost us as customers and we will be sure to share this treatment with everyone we know. [Sorry for the long review! Just wanted to give a clear description]

Food was dried out, cold and looked like it had been sitting there for awhile, does not deserve a $20.00 price, We were there at 6pm and had to rush as they took buffet down at 730

Got take out, spent just under $200 for a bunch if swampy dishes that all tasted the same. Pork & pineapple was terrible, pork dried out and tough, could barely chew through it. Chow mein noodles were burnt, looked & tasted awful. vegetable dishes were lifeless, every thing tasted the exact same bland & flavourless, Im certain 90 % of our meal was someone elses leftovers. I would give this restaurant zero stars. It was disgusting. No one was full or remotely satisfied, huge waste of money, everything went in the garbage as everyone efused to take leftovers. Overall terrible experience, I do not recommend. I will not be Eatiing Chinese again for a long time after this

Everything on buffet was dry or empty walked back out half their usual tems not there went to Caseys isteaf

We went out for dinner with my son, his girlfriend, and her parents. The Good: The waitress asked us what we wanted refilled and was pretty easy to deal with for the most part. The Bad: The décor is so dated and is very worn. The place is in complete disrepair and in desperate need of a refresh. The buffet was very picked over which was strange because the place was empty. Of the food that was there, the dishes looked old. The waitress asked what we would like to see refilled so my son just started naming dishes that were empty and that he was interested in. We managed to fill our bellies with the items that they replenished. As some of the lighter eaters tried to send their plates back with their forks, the waitress insisted that people keep them because there was lots of food on the buffet that we requested that needed to be eaten. Trust me when I say that it was not a joke. Now this is a pet peeve of mine. My son asked for a refill of his pop and the waitress said we dont have refills. He looked confused towards me, and I told her to bring him another pop please. To the owners, you dont want to nickel and dime a customer when youre putting out subpar food. During a lull in eating the waitress came over and said that she didnt mean to be rude but the owners are about the turn off the lights. I checked out at 7:52pm which means it was about 7:45pm when she pushed us out of the restaurant. Their hours are 11am-9pm so this didnt make any sense. Nonetheless I wasnt that excited to eat more so we obliged their request. Conclusion: It has been years since I have been to this restaurant, and it will be years until I go back.

Absolutely horrible service. Made an order for delivery. Waited well over an hour when told it would be 45 minutes. I called back. Was given horrible attitude. The guy who answered just kept speaking over me. I tried to explain that I have been waiting a long time and get told its going to be another 45 to am hour. Absolutely horrible. Customer service sucks. I dont recommend. Our food was horrible. Worst 50$ iv spent

I have always had a great experience wether it be eating in or delivery the food has always been wonderful. The owners and staff are always been very friendly

Excellent food and service. Masked waitress making us feel safer. Keep up the great work!

It was a buffet and super nice with good options. We had great service 3 of use came to about $79

Was horrible Wong ton soup was old and dried to the side and dark brown..egg rolls were soggy chop suy was stuck together like gell and mush I was sick in bed for 2 days..I will never go back to that place

I dont care what anyone says,this place is great!!Buffets are amazing,great food friendly staff and great prices!!

Had the buffet for dinner here, 1 or 2 dishes had some flavour, but overall very bland. The rice was the worst, hard dry and crunchy. Not much selection will not return

If i could give a -1 stars then i wouldve. Food was bland and worst customer service ever. Server lady was acting like she really didnt wanna be here. Better spend money somewhere else. Only decent item was fried shrimp.

my glass had a lipstick mark on it that was not mine! I was not wearing lipstick and you could tell it was a lipstick mark from another person and i didnt even realise it until we were ready to leave because i thought i could trust they had clean glasses but i guess not. I am so upset and never going there again what if someone had a disease or something.. i didnt have my phone with me or i would have took a picture. plus the waitresses were very rude putting their hands in your face and giving you dirty looks, the food tasted different this time and desserts stale. this is very upsetting because i used to like this resturaunt a lot but after this experience I am never going back for sure!!! doesnt even deserve one star but I have to put one to post it. If I do end up catching something because of it they ARE getting sued and shut down this is ridiculous.

Was exactly how I thought it would be. Food was tasty.

Its the worst restaurant we dine in. We get there on proper time but still they won t serve us properly. The server over there they don t seem to care . If you have cutlery and water .the plates are very dirty and old. They don t refill anything not much option we feel we are out of food . Not much of option to eat . The owner don t seem to bother about food too.

Great place you take the family an the good is always fresh an well priced

The host, hostess and waitress were kind, though the food was unacceptable. I showed up on time for the dinner in hopes of having fresh food - what a disappointment. Old, tasteless food that looks like it was from several days prior. Dessert area was full of flies on the cake. Disgusting.

Food is good, but make sure they are no hockey games going on that day or tour buses coming in. Same stuff every time but always tasty

Good prices, fast services.

Focus is on the daily Chinese buffet for dinner however I find more value and satisfaction ordering one of their special plates off the menu. Usually go for the Cantonese Chow Mein (enough for two average adults) but if you have a big appetite, the buffet will always satisfy. Busy staff waiting tables can sometimes be coarse with customers but hey, they are waiting on huge numbers and dont have time to fiddle. I get that as most people do

Very good Chinese food

I ordered orange chicken for take out, it was okay. The sauce isnt cooked into the meat, they gave me breaded chicken and orange chicken sauce and rice in separate dishes, and then you mix yourself once you get home. Order was quick, at least, they had it ready in the 15 minutes it took for me to drive there. It was okay.

Customer service was great, order was taken when we were ready, food was fantastic! Always enjoyed this restaurant and will happily continue to support. Thank you!

The best

awesome

I ate something simple. I had no appetite after driving more than 1,000 kilometers. Mapo Tofu finally opened my stomach in the past few days. The free oolong tea is very rich and tastes like home.

Cold beers

Great Chinese food. Super friendly owners. I like how they put the the sauce on the side cause some people just like a dab of s&s sauce where others be eating a s&s sauce soup. Veggies were fresh. Only thing missing from the menu is some General Tsao Chicken.

Pleasantly surprised never expect gourmet at a buffet but as buffets go it was above average.

Lucky to get 1 star. Called to order a birthday meal for my mother in law whos in the hospital, asked about doing a plate or 2 of a few specific items. Was told NO! then as I was about to just order full portions of the items I was hung up on. Rude and not even willing to let me finish.

Meh, the food was ok. Pressed for time to eat I didnt look around as much as I should have. Anything better? Let me know

Not horrible

They are not checking vaccine records, they just say they are and dont bother. Food was average

fast and nice

Service was great. Food was nice and hot. Beyond expectations. Deserves more stars!

Delicious

Food was generally bland, overcooked, or just not very tasty. The sesame chicken was overdone and drowned in sauce. Dessert selection was minimal, almost none out on the buffet table. Five squares of a few, three of another. Water was the most refreshing thing I had. I dont think Ill return.

Nothing ever changes and four customers are $100 maybe 50 items

Great buffet but prices are getting a little high.

Decent food great prices and very nice staff.

Food is always great - ready for pick-up in a flash! Won t order anywhere else. Try the #4 a delicious!!! They get 5 stars for consistency! :)

Very good food and lovely people

Do yourself a favour and dont eat here if you enjoy good quality Chinese food.

Bland food. Cold and tasteless

Very disappointed in the food I would never eat here again

Reviewing the buffet. Everything tasted the same to me. It was all too sweet and it almost tasted like they used the same BASE seasoning (full of sugar obviously) for everything and added a couple different ingredients to make the different dishes (e.g. sesame, lemon, sweet n sour)...When I went there the salad bar didnt look to fresh or varied. Its probably a lot better if you catch the dishes as they come out of the kitchen...but I wasnt impressed by the assortment of dishes either. All the desserts were extremely stale and dry.

Food is always fresh. They were kind enough today to bring a folding table and chair ouside so my Mother could eat outside during covid closure. Very kind.

Excellent, we will be back.

Fast!!! Hot!!! Steamed veggies!!!

Awesome food and great service simple as that:)

Good

Authentic chinese food, great tasting. This was as good as the chinese food you would find in Toronto. Would definitely come back if in town! Their pepper steak and chicken + mushrooms was delicious

Love the place

Thank you for a great meal after a long drive from alberta, tastes like toronto but bigger portion

Usually ate there once a week, ordered soup in house, it was ice cold, as in, likely just taken out of the fridge and dropped in a bowl cold. I asked the server, she apologized and brought it back. At her informing of the kitchen staff, I heard the slamming of the microwave door and a fair amount of heated language The kind of language that usually implies the rest of your meal is going to come out with secret sauce. I left. If you are ordering fresh food off a menu, it should come out fresh, not god-only-knows how old leftovers.

Went there for dinner And ordered about 5 different dishes almost a $100 worth, our food was barely lukewarm and very bland tasting. The only good thing about it was are Waitress. She was very friendly and always there if we needed anything.

Very friendly customer service this family owned buffet-restaurant, now a days though with this epidemic you can get take-out..and its not a long wait either..but the food is awesome.

Not great, carpets taped in place, plates feel cheap, service isnt that great.

A Sault Ste Marie classic. Always what you expect. Good food at a good price.

Everything was delicious and they let us start at the buffet early!

Food was good and hot good service and warm welcoming

I Dont Like This Restaurant

Worst Chinese buffet Ive ever eaten... I am from Toronto and may be I got used to better Chinese food.. and the price was ridiculous..

Weekend lunch buffet is terrible , undercooked and not much options wouldnt recommend the lunch buffet

Great place to have lunch

Pretty good buffet and reasonably priced. Good variety of food and options. Everything was hot and tasty.

Service is slow

Its alright but had buffet and some of the rice was hard I mean hard. Servers are short staffed so over worked and forget stuff.

Best Chinese food in town hands down

Very good fast service

It was OK.

Got take out from here and got the cantonese chow mein. Very disappointed the noodles were burnt, the meat was tough and over cooked, some of the pork had a slight green tint to it.. its like they used the left over food from last weeks buffet and just threw it in..

Most of the food was tasty.but the broccoli and beef was kind of bland though and so were the fresh mushrooms and the chicken fried rice wasnt very hot.The rest of the food at the buffet was good

Ive been coming here since I was a wee little toddler ordering Chinese hamburgers.

Great selection of very good food on the buffet. Good, friendly service. Good price for buffet.

Food tasteless, not much selection.

Always good food

Awesome place for a Chinese food buffet. If you don t like the buffet they will happily make a burger for you. Very friendly!

Good food and service

Absolute garbage being served in the buffet. Low quality, legitimate health concerns. Public health inspector should really take a look at this place.

Buffet food was hot and lots to choose from. Could use an update.

Fantastic food

Great food, awesome service. Thank you Diane, very friendly and welcoming, will be back for sure

Great food with great selection been going since I was a kid and I still love it to this day!

Good food...fast friendly service...prices are pretty much the same for around the sault

There are cheap buffets, the dishes we ordered are very authentic, and the boss is very enthusiastic

Awesome buffet. Everytime I go they seem to have something different also the desert items are really good especially the cake. Definetely recommended
