Dragon China Buffet - Big Spring

I recently visited Dragon China Buffet in Big Spring, Texas, a place that holds many fond childhood memories for me. Back in the early 2000s, this restaurant was always bustling, with hardly any parking available. It was a go-to spot for family dinners and special occasions.Fast forward to today, and things have definitely changed. The ambience inside is quite bland and subdued, and it's surprisingly quiet compared to the lively atmosphere I remember. The same soundtrack from 15 years ago still plays, adding a touch of nostalgia to the experience.At around $20 for two people, the buffet offers good value for the variety of food available. While the quality of the food isn't exceptional, it's decent. The orange chicken and the sweet bread with sugar on top are my personal favorites and worth trying if you visit.One of the highlights of my visit was the sense of stepping back in time. The decor and even the coin slot machine in the back haven't changed, making it feel like the place has been frozen in time. It was a delightful trip down memory lane, reminding me of simpler times.Overall, while Dragon China Buffet may not be as vibrant as it once was, it still holds a special place in my heart. If you're looking for a reasonably priced meal and a dose of nostalgia, it's worth a visit. Parking: This place hardly get any more traffic so there’s plenty of parking.

Love the variety of food and the option of the Mongolian grill. Would love to be greeted with a smile instead of a frown. The wait staff could also be friendlier.

I love this place, The food to me tastes amazing and the noodles with the fried rice is delicious. The service is great the people are nice, and the atmosphere is alright it is very quiet even though there would be a good amount of people.

I got an egg roll, sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, rice and noodles. I took one but of each item and got up and walked out. That food is garbage. One of the worst Chinese buffets I've ever tried!I just started going to Big Spring for doctor appointments and I was looking for some good food... This ain't it. I'm really disappointed because the staff that I interacted with were very nice. I had very limited interaction with them but they were kind and helpful.The restaurant appeared to be clean so if you like the food, that's great! I just thought it was so bad that I was willing to get up and walk out after paying for a meal and taking only 3 bites of food! I couldn't stomach any more of it.

Buffet during lunch is the best deal it's under $45 for 2 adults and one child over the age of 3.
