Reviews for Golden Dragon Chinese Buffet

I always order the mandarin chicken and egg rolls because they are consistently flavorful and well-seasoned. After twenty years in the USMC and ten in Civil Service, I can confidently say that the Kung Pao Chicken here is the best I've ever experienced, with just the right balance of flavors. My children enjoy the pepper steak with broccoli, and I've heard great things about the salt and pepper shrimp, which I look forward to trying on my next visit.

My go-to order at this Chinese buffet is always the mandarin chicken and egg rolls - they never fail to impress with their delicious flavors and perfect seasoning. After years of traveling and tasting various versions of Kung Pao Chicken, this place truly stands out as the best I've ever had - spicy with peanuts, just the way I like it! While New Orleans may be famous for its Southern cuisine, the Chinese Golden Dragon Buffet in Covington, LA is where you'll find the ultimate Kung Pao Chicken that will keep you coming back for more.

Used to really enjoy this place. But they went WAY down hill the past few months. I've tried them a few times because I figured it was just a bad day.... and yep, absolute trash now.

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.

The service is great! The atmosphere is your typical buffet style. The food is always hot and fresh but not a lot of food in the pans at one time. Therefore, you have to settle for what is available instead of something you may really want. For instance, the peanut chicken is to die for...but the 4 times I have been visited..there was only one or two small pieces in the pan. The next time I went just to get the peanut chicken but again it only had one piece and it was not replenished while I was there. Everything else is ok though but nothing I would drive far to eat at.
