What islandrockin doesn't like about Dragon Yuan Restaurant:
Similar to moat western Chinese restaurants with a buffet,pretty much the same offerings Quality was good and food was fresh Staff were very friendly It works for a quick lunch View all feedback. What gloriainmexico likes about Dragon Yuan Restaurant:
I reserved spaces for up to 30 people, including children, for a family birthday party. The staff were great right from being fine with the guests yelling “Surprise!” when the birthday guy came in, to dealing with the little kids running around, to bringing drinks to the tables, to lighting the candles and carrying the big cake to the table. All in all, a very good restaurant in which to enjoy a special occasion. View all feedback.

Dragon Yuan restaurant offers a Chinese buffet that, while decent, may not be worth the higher price compared to other buffets in the area. The selection is limited, with the usual Chinese buffet staples prepared well, but nothing extraordinary. Some customers found the food bland and lacking in quality, while others enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. For those looking for a special occasion venue, the restaurant can accommodate large groups and birthdays with attentive service. Overall, while the buffet may not be the main draw, Dragon Yuan seems to shine when it comes to ordering off the menu for a more personalized dining experience.
