"We used to frequent this all you can eat haven as far back as 2015, until we got Lin Buffet in our own neck of wood, sparing us from having to drive 45+ minutes. That being said, we still make sure we come empty-stomached whenever we come to Lancaster to shop so we can include this in our itinerary. The décor is a bit dated in style but I can imagine it's glory days. There are a few things I like very much about Dragon Buffet compared to other Asian buffets in the area:
- You pay up front at the counter. Like all AYCEs in Las Vegas.
- Saturday lunch is at weekday lunch price
- There are a lot more seafood offerings
- Drinks are included: fountain drinks, coffee and tea
- Best value
Come early, like shortly after the restaurant opens at 11 am. As mentioned before, this place is huge so it take a while to fill it up. But once it does, line forms and never goes away. From our experience, there was lines even during odd hours like 3 pm.
Unless schedule doesn't work out or you absolutely want king crab legs, come for lunch instead of dinner. You get only 5-6 replacements (not in addition) of their lunch offerings for higher caliper dishes but pay $6 more. As far as I'm concerned, my stomach already cannot accommodate all the lunch dishes I wanted to eat.
Also, bring cash for tips. The front counter, where you pay to get in, does not offer options to include tips."
