I obviously got spoiled at the Golden Dragon in my town. Because this was hands down the worst buffet I've ever seen. I went in a few days ago and it was a little questionable from the start with the two small bars of food but we gave it a shot. We were the only table in there and i got the coconut shrimp and i took one bite and it was so cold it tasted like it just thawed out under the lamp from the freezer. And i've never done this before but i couldn't justify eating and spending any money there so we left. It was also not the cleanest and the cook brought a pan out and it looked like he just put it on top of the older or threw the older out in not sure. But please do not stop here. read more

Food is cold, no service, food is nasty. Place is very VERY dirty. There's not many options of food. If you go with a group of 2+ there's not enough food. Good luck eating here read more

Food was shitty don't go here unless you want to pay for nothing the customer service was also shitty if I could rate 0 stars I would

The food was sooo delicious it had lots of flavor and the dessert was amazing and the best best part it was good and cheap. The best buffet in the world!! read more

Did not have a very good buffet the food had NO FLAVOR had to get our own drinks the establishment is deplorable hardly any food out over charged will not eat at this place again read more

Horrible absolutely horrible they got my order wrong and wouldn't make it right and keep hanging up on me. Food was completely wrong. Never again read more

the food is good every time i go . it's one of my favorites when im feeling real "big back" :)

Horribly bland and flavorless. Not even a speck of salt. We ordered from DoorDash and they took "buffet" off their name and made it simply "golden dragon restaurant." Don't be fooled by the yellow rice it's just coloring no flavor at all. Pretty sly and misleading but never will order again! read more

every disrespectful food was shitty. they only put a spoon full of food out when there was four of us. food was cold and we had to get r drinks. then they charged us 74.00 when it wasnt but 54.00 and it was only worth 5.00 do not go eat that this hell hole i want be back for sure read more

Food terrible.... Service very bad very rude people. Just ignore you. The ambience it was so hot. All I did was sit there and sweat almost $19. I couldn't believe it.. don't waste your time or your money read more

not very nice of them to rush us throughout the entire 45 minutes of being there. it's cool tho. we don't have to rush to eat. thank yall Godbless read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. They attempted to scam me, and I'm sure I'm not the first. Their website has Mongolian beef listed for $8.99. I called and ordered Mongolian beef and an egg roll for pickup. I went in to pay, and they tried to charge me $18.99. They said I didn't order the "value plate." Mind you, there is only one Mongolian beef item on their menu, and it is listed for $8.99 (see screenshot). I told them I would just like the $8.99 portion. They brought that out, and it probably could have been eaten in 4 large bites, quite literally. This place is dishonest. Do not waste your money. read more

Golden Dragon Chinese Buffet - Chinese Near Me - Covington, Louisiana

This establishment is deplorable and that's being generous. I just stopped in for a quick lunch, buffet mind you, 2 people in the restaurant, there is hardly any food out. Waited for 10 minutes for drinks, and thought more food would be put put out, nope, No lo mien, rice cold, pepper chicken was gummy like left overs, my son and and 9 yr old grandkid even complained food was bland and tasteless. We ate a couple of small portion plates each and said that's enough of this stuff, Cost. 2 adults 1 kid. 55.00!! They also charge a 3 .00 surcharge for cards!! read more

The food had NO FLAVOR !!. Got to get better Togo containers with vents because we ordered to go and everything was soggy! But they need a new cook if they want to get business ASAP! Worse $40 spent! read more

The food was great, the workers were polite, and the feeling of the room felt good. There's nothing bad I have to say about the place.

This was really gross. Veggie lo mein that was old and clumpy. Mystery meat sesame chicken. 2 packets of soy sauce for 3 entrees, and no chopsticks. If this was super cheap, then I'd say that I got what I paid for. But this was like $40 subtotal. read more

This is my favorite chinese food in the country! Having been USMC for twenty years, traveling from one Coast to another for and then serving additional ten in Civil Service, I have tasted many variations of Kung Pao Chicken (SPICY, with peanuts of COURSE). Chinese Golden Dragon Buffet L14. Kung Pao Chicken When I tell you that this is the absolutely very, Very best KUNG PAO CHICKEN I have ever eaten, made, or ever TASTED. I am very particular about about how I like my sauce. Usually it is made too sweet (UGH!), too salty (bitter - even worse), or most often, just LACKING. Lacking the right ingredients. Lacking the know-how, or it feels like the chef is experimenting on your taste buds. BUT, this ONE place does it right!!! New Orleans may be home to the best Southern cooking in the world, but the Chinese Golden Dragon Buffet @ 100 S Tyler St., Covington, LA 70433, is THE #1 SPOT to go for the best KUNG PAO CHICKEN, (I like mine with peanuts.) read more

I've never been inside of the restaurant; however, I have ordered twice through Waitr. I'm a huge fan!!! We ordered the first time and I got Curry Shrimp w/ Onions; I requested it to be extra spicy. The food came, I ate - it was delicious. The second time my husband ordered for me and forgot to ask for it to be extra spicy - i was bummed. When the food came I had received a note that says " Free Fanta - thank you for your order! The shrimp are SPICY!" I'm sorry - that's just amazing customer service. It's like they KNEW what I wanted and that I was bummed. I don't know how they did it - but I'm grateful. The food has NEVER been anything but amazing when delivered. I've eaten my curry, fried rice, and egg drop soup as leftovers and all tasted fantastic! I'll definitely continue to order from there - thank you for the personalized touch. read more

I was so upset with the 12 oz of food they sent me home with, yea i weighed it lol for 8.99 you can not trust people anymore to do you right.. I will go back let them know i will no longer be eating there if they cant take care of their customers.. We live and we learn.. Dont order to go LOL .. unless you fill the box yourself .. I think ill also give them a copy of this LOL read more

So far so good, my children especially love the pepper steak broccoli, the sauce is good with the noodles, I heard that their salt and pepper shrimps are delicious, and I didn't see the lunch that day.hope see it next time read more

If you like eating cardboard, plastic or food that's been sitting under a heat lamp for more than 20 years please feel free to enter this absolutely atrocious eating establishment... read more

Against my better judgement, I decided to get take out Chinese. I don't know if I was confused due to being hungry, or if I just really wanted Chinese food. The buffet is tiny and it doesn't look or taste fresh. There are few items to chose from, so I would recommend getting your meal to go. All you can eat would just be a waste. Choosing this place was a huge mistake... I gave them two stars because I didn't get food poison. read more

They advertise price for child buffet and tried to charge as adult. Child is child price. Food is garbage. Leason learn don't go cheap. And make sure you stay away from. read more

Awful worse I ever seen. I too wish there were a place to do no stars. Small selection, what is out is not even of minimal quality even for a Chinese buffet. Cleanliness is not a place I would even let my dog walk around in. Not a place I recommend at all. You will regret it. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Covington. Unlike the restaurant on Collins Blvd. with Hispanic cooks, this restaurant is owned and operated by an authentic Chinese family. They are kind and hard working people who try their very best to make sure that every customer is happy. No one should leave this restaurant dissatisfied. read more

Regarding the Golden Dragon in Covington, Louisiana -- We used to be regulars. But no more! The restaurant has increasing gone down fast! On recent visits, we found the Golden Dragon in Covington to be poorly managed, with no regard to customer satisfaction or the simplest of common courtesy one would expect when dining out. In particular, there is a younger woman with glasses who is quite disrespectful, and has no idea how to treat customers or the personality to do so. The restaurant is dirty with mold and grime on the tables, chairs, walls and floors. I would hate to see the non-public areas. The workers never wear hair nets or gloves, and violate so many public safety and health mandates. They really should be investigated. The self-serve ice cream bar is a total mess with no attention to it's upkeep or cleanliness. The owners allow their young boy to disrupt patrons and play in the food and at occupied tables. Even as regulars, in recent times, our requests were often ignored and we were treated rudely. We know many who no longer will eat there for many of the same reasons. The place rarely has more than a handful of people even at the peak of dinner. On a recent dinner evening, we were the only patrons there. How sad to see a once great restaurant that was always crowded go down in quality at every level. One would think the owners would be taking note of this decline and be doing something to correct the many problems. Surely their cash flow and tips have declined as a result of their negligence and decline in standards. There are many other restaurants with better food, better service, and a better dining experience. The owners and workers of Golden Dragon in Covington don't deserve our business anymore. Surely they can't stay in business long if this decline continues to be allowed. read more

I wanted to leave NO stars, mainly because I have nothing positive to say about this place. The food isn't good, not even so-so. The chicken had a strange color to it & I question what it really was... read more

When this place first opened it was really good. They always had good amount of food and it was always hot. Eventually we stoped going as much and the last time we went was just not good. It was dirty. I even saw a ROACH ON MY TABLE!!! this place used to be really good and after that we will never go back. read more

The buffet is terrible! The cream cheese wontons are really good though. Might be good if you order to go.

One star! The buffet food was all dry & i couldn't find one thing that was good. The place looks like it haven't been clean in years. I looked up in the ceiling it was so dirty... I don't know what it was but my 11 month old got a fever 2 hours later . it was so strange. He was good all morning until we got home from the buffet. He started breaking out of hives. It was really unusual.. I will not come here again. I had to sanitize and wash everything. Just to make sure my son doesn't get sick again. read more

Disappointing. The buffet doesn't have much to offer, and the food really wasn't that good. When I asked for white rice as part of my to go order, the staff seemed baffled. Apparently they don't normally offer it? After a long wait, they brought me a container from the back... but then had no idea how to charge me for it. I ended up paying $4.29 a pound for a container of rice that would have cost 75 cents anywhere else. Won't be back anytime soon - there are definitely better chinese restaurants in this town. read more

Buffet has improved a lot recently. Good food and reasonably priced. Eat here once a week !

There is certainly no abundance of Chinese buffets in the Covington area. I was pleased to find this little place amidst some shops in Covington. The food was delicious. The service was a little slow with drinks but they were very friendly. I am going to be returning to this buffet on a regular basis. :) read more

Absolutely the worst Chinese buffet I have ever been to! Very limited selection, and what they do have is horrible. I stopped in to get a box to go, and tried eating it when I got home. First I tried the "lo mein" which had a soured taste to it like the noodles were cooked days ago and left in water. Then I tried the teriyaki chicken, which tasted rancid, and literally threw up from the taste. Avoid going here at all costs, Panda Buffet is down the road beside Winn Dixie and they have amazing food, plus the sweetest waitresses. read more

We have gone to the Golden Dragon on and off through the years. After reading the reviews I may not go back. I found if you get to eat when they first put the food out you can enjoy it and it is fresh. Later in the day it drys out. I ignored torn seat. It is kind of dark in there so I guess I missed the dirt. It looks like it is family that run it possibly. If they want to keep it running they need to bring in the tv guy who redoes restaurant and tells the workers what they need to do. I give it a 2 read more

Unsafe to eat at, this restaurant is horrible! The food was disgusting, and the atmosphere was sad.

Ate here for lunch yesterday. Food was not warm-much less hot. Wait staff not friendly. Would not go back.
