A good place for a fast and hood Chinese lunch with this buffet. My favorite is the jalapeno chicken as I can't get enough. The staff is quick with your drinks and if you need anything I feel free to say it's a very affordable lunch spot read more

Golden Dragon - A plate of several items from the buffet - Chinese Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

If I could leave negative stars I would. Was recommended by a lady at the combat air museum. However the best thing was the tea and the hot & sour soup. Every thing else was cold & tasteless. From the egg rolls to the chicken and pork dishes. Some was to chewy others was overcooked. Won't be back anytime soon........... read more

Golden Dragon - Lunch specials - Chinese Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

See all

I came into down for some business related things and decided to try their local Golden Dragon. Overall I would say it's pretty good. Classic Chinese Buffett with rice, noodles, and some chickens. The dessert was par at best. A lot of it looked like it had been out for a while or just looked like it had no flavor. I got the lo mein and some mushroom chicken. It was very tasty, could have been a little warmer. The only thing they could improve upon is cleaning the tables and greeting. My table was sticky and when I saw the worker cleaning then table in front of me, it was remove food, a fast whips down, and then she sat other customers at the table. No cleaning solution was used and it was maybe 5 seconds of wiping. That kind of took my appetite because I then felt like I was an an unclean restaurant. read more

I've only seen the golden Dragon when driving by, so I'm giving this review of their takeout food which I tried three different plates and a few appetizers. I see a lot of the reviews here that seem a little bit unfair. Are you going to like every dish? A restaurant makes no matter what it is?? obviously not. I do agree with the reviews that the food of the dishes that you enjoy is fantastic, and the portions are generous for the price. Chinese food is one of my favorites and I've yet to see the same dish made the same way by any two restaurants. Strongly recommend the shrimp, fried rice, get the extra shrimp. And the hunan two kinds was a hit with whole family. They do uber eats too!! read more

Good and service were both trash. The food tasted like it had been sitting there for hours. It was dry and gross. Awful service $30 for 3 people who only ate half a plate of disgusting food. When brought to workers they had no care and took the food waters off as a discount. Was unappetizing aswell as store was unsanitary and not at attractiv. Highly do not recommend!!!!!!!!! read more

Do not eat here. Ordered takeout and I am pretty sure the chicken wasn't real chicken and the food had a weird taste/texture to it. How do you also mess up fried rice. I spoke about it with my co Workers who have been there previously and it was a "why would you ever go there?" I took 4 bites and through it away. I love wasting money read more

Although the chicken and pork were both satisfactory, although not amazing, the reason for the single star is that upon tasting any soup of theirs I came to the shocking reality that it smelled of bleach and tasted of chlorine. Frankly I haven't returned since and won't, and whether it's a regular occurrence or not I would suggest avoiding that risk read more

The golden dragon is very good. Though the customer service is lacking, the good food makes up for it. I would recommend the golden dragon. read more

Golden Dragon - the front of a restaurant at night - Chinese Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

Walked in on a Sunday evening at 7:30pm. Had the Chinese buffet. It is now 4pm on Monday the next day, and my husband is still suffering nausea, aches, and vomiting from the debilitating food poisoning. I DO NOT recommend this place. read more

I had the cashew fried shrimp, and was very good, very hot when it was delivered. And good size portions. The service was very prompt and delivered to our hotel room. read more

The food is stellar but as the months pass the place is gets dirtier and slimier. I am shocked a health inspector hasn't shut this place down. its a shame though because the food is truly amazing. read more

We have only ordered food for takeout but in every case, the food has been excellent. My only comment would be to say that the restaurant needs a major cleanup/renovation. The serving sizes are plentiful and again, you cannot beat the flavor of the various menu items. We have tried cashew chicken, sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli, sesame chicken and pork fried rice. Have not tried the buffet. Recommend the food. read more

Ordered takeout and arrived a couple minutes later than the requested allowed time. Waited another ten minutes for the order. I live about 5 minutes away from the restaurant and the food should have been hot on arrival-- it was warm to cool for some of the appetizers. Ordered the Bo Bo appetizer and a large egg drop soup. I asked if they supplied dipping sauces to go with the appetizers and the reply was yes. Received a few plastic packaged things like mustard sauce, duck sauce and soy sauce. Would not order that again. Soup was just ok but honestly I've had better sometimes going through their buffet. It didn't have much flavor tonight. Generally we order in and likely I won't do takeout again. Disappointed read more

Exactly what you want in a cheap Chinese buffet. Could be a little cleaner. We will be back

This is your traditional hole in the wall type Chinese restaurant. They have a lunch buffet and it has all of the traditional items you would expect. They do a really good job of getting everything stocked and warm. The service is always immediate when you walk in the door and you never have to wait to checkout at the end. For a $7 and some change lunch buffet, this place delivers. The only reason I feel this place deserves 3 stars is because the building could be a bit nicer and it is not the absolute cleanest place. Some of their presentation could be a bit better and they are missing labels on a lot of their buffet items. read more

This is one of those hole-in-the-wall restaurants that tuns out to be very pleasant. The food is really great for the price.

Very good all you can eat buffet; you can also get good to go and they price it by weight. Excellent choices and wonderful service. Very nice people here. I couldn't get enough of the orange chicken, crab rangoon and their lo mein. See you again very soon!!! read more

The buffet is a great way to try multiple dishes and was very affordable. The General Tso's was tasty and I enjoyed the Jalapeño chicken. I have had better Sweet and Sour, but the Crab Ragoon might be the best I have had in town. read more

4/2/15 update: Ok, I said if I came back with the buffet being fresh, then I'd update my review. Well, I just stopped in for lunch 10mins after they opened. Wow! Everything was SO fresh, looked amazing, tasty! So just make sure you come around when lunch or dinner times start so you can get really fresh food! That jalapeño chicken fresh was so good! read more

Cheap chinese food. Food quality was low. ok place for children. They have ice cream cups for dessert but most of them were expired and icey! Was not worth it for me. Owners are nice people. I wish them luck. read more

The food was delicious as always. read more

Golden Dragon - Chinese Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

The food was pretty good. There wasn't anything that just jumped out and made you think "wow this is great." It was freezing in this establishment. The waitress was even wearing a coat. I found the hand written sign that read "please don't waste food" to be extremely obnoxious. It isn't anything special but it's not horrible. read more

Golden Dragon - Please don't waste(d) paper either. - Chinese Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

AWESOME BUFFET. Love the Jalapeno Chicken. I really like this place. My wife fondly refers to this place as, "Golden Vomit". The story behind that is us going there when she was pregnant with our first baby, eating there and then having Barf-fest 2008 in the parking lot... ever since then it has been put on "the list". read more

Stopped in at Golden Dragon today for lunch. Eating kind of late at around 3. The food in the buffet all looked pretty good. And everything was delicious. read more

This was my First and Last time ever eating at this place! Where do I began. The place was clean and the food was Terrible. Everything taste like it was saturated in pure grease and nothing was fresh. The food was so bad we couldn't stomach eating anymore. We decided to just take it as a loss of money. To make matters worse we were chased to the door and asked if we payed for the bill. After looking again and finding the bill plus tip , the owner never apologized. She just continued sweeping and wiping tables around the food. I believe because we were in and out so fast she thought something was wrong. But it was ....the food just Suck! Never Ever Again!!! read more

This is the best Chinese place in Topeka that I have found. We drive from across town past several other place! The buffet is a little pricey, but worth it. Plus being near the Capital will raise the prices a little. Very friendly service also read more

I appreciate the seafood options on the lunch buffet - in addition to fried fish and shrimp, there is baked ginger salmon.

Well, I did not want to give any stars because I don't know how it is but reason for 1 star because on their MORE INFO its says this restaurant DELIVERS but they don't . read more

A pretty typical Chinese buffet in Topeka. The butter shrimp here is incredible and in my opinion, is definitely the stand out item on the line. They have a lot of traditional items like lo mein and beef with broccoli, which they do not seem to vary from. Service can be hit or miss. read more

Perfect Chinese buffet at low prices... this is the place which can satisfy people who expect a Chinese food with both sweet and spicy kind of food... staff are pretty welcoming, not a wide variety of items. Butter potato, jalapeño chicken and fried chicken were best of the day... fried rice can be done much better... loved my dinner... read more

You cant beat the shrimp fried rice and crab rangoon. Make sure to get a side of the housemade spicy mustard!

Good food at a decent price. Butter shrimp is delicious and I like that the crab Rangoon is not all wonton.

I used to eat here 2-3 times a month and never had a bad experience but haven't been in over two years. The wait staff consisted of two children maybe 10-12. The buffet was mostly slim pickings and my family arrived at 12:15. They ran out of steamed rice for 15 minutes and there were maybe 20 people in the restaurant. Sadly, it seemed as if they are on there way out of business. It could have been just a bad day but all of the issues, especially lack of staff, and the overall lack of cleanliness makes me think there best days are behind them. read more

Good food, fresh, food service and very reasonably priced. This place was literally a couple blocks from my house and I was craving Chinese food and this place sure took care of that craving! read more

The food is gross. For the first time in my life I went to Subway afterwards to cleanse my palate. The place was clean, the server was friendly, and the coke was good: hence the two stars. read more

Pretty mediocre. The rave reviews made me think this could be my new spot for Chinese. I was startled by the small amount of choices available at the buffet. The dessert selection was laughable (basically tiny individual ice creams and chocolate pudding). The dumplings were the best part of the meal, everything else was just okay. It was a little expensive for the limited amount of food available. read more

Nothing expertly fashioned here. Restaurant is clean and the staff friendly. The food is barely mediocre some of it had been sitting out a while and dried from the heat lamp. Brought to their attention that the chicken wings were not cooked all the way through pink in the middle they argued that the chicken was okay. After barely making it home getting rid of everything I had eaten I started to feel much better. I don't think I would recommend this place to anyone. There are much better places for Chinese food in Topeka read more

We frequent here often. The owners are nice, food decent, place is clean.
