As a food reviewer for Goto Where, I wholeheartedly recommend Dragon City Buffet in Red Deer, AB. This Chinese restaurant stands out for its focused menu and exceptional quality. Customers rave about the buffet's balance between selection and quality, ensuring that everything from roast beef to dim sum is consistently delicious.
The atmosphere is brightened by the attentive service of staff members like Lyn, whose warm demeanor and diligent service have drawn praise from numerous guests. Reviews highlight how she goes above and beyond, making special occasions memorable, such as celebrating birthdays with personalized touches. Guests also appreciate the wide variety of vegetarian options, demonstrating the restaurant's commitment to catering to diverse dietary needs.
Notably, several reviews emphasize the freshly prepared dishes. Diners have described the shrimp as "some of the best" they've tasted, while others specifically loved the dumplings and ginger pork. Dragon City Buffet not only meets but often exceeds expectations, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking quality buffet dining in a warm and welcoming environment.

First time being there, on our way to Calgary from red deer. We were so hungry. And this place didn't disappoint. The one thing I really liked, that they don't have a huge selection, therefore the quality of the food was so good! I personally, do not like buffets, when they have too many options, cause the quality, usually isn't great. Hard to fo quality control. So the food was really good. Especially, roast beef. I had a huge piece! Our server was Lyn. Very kind and sweet lady. She was on top of things. Not skipping a beat! Very friendly. And she was working hard. Running around, making sure everyone had everything. Very impressed with her service. Definitely, coming back! Service is great, food is very good! So to everyone, that wants quality buffet for a good price and great service, this is the place to go! You won't regret it.

I always have an amazing experience here. During my early visits i met Lyn. A wonderful waitress. Shes very welcoming, always greets you with a big smile. Shes funny and super nice. I love coming here. Thank you Lyn for always making me feel so welcome here. And being my #1 waitress. Keep it up! Update: last minute i planned to celebrate my moms birthday at Dragon city buffet, the staff was so amazing. They were quick to get us a table in such short notice on a busy evening. And sang happy birthday with a trasty treat. Thank you Lyn and your amazing staff for giving my mom a wonderful birthday. I highly recommend this buffet. Thank you Dragon city buffet! My go to Buffet.

Today I was here first time and that’s interesting experience! I like such a good variation of different food! I like that there a lots of options for vegetarians! But some of food can be spicy, and you cannot know about that. I love this place! reasonable price!

My family's favourite place to go for asian food. The dinner buffet is awesome, so many chinese and also western choices! I absolutely love their roast beef! The dumplings, salt and pepper pork and ginger pork are sooo good as well! But it's is all really delicious and fresh. And the service is awesome as well. At our last visit the tapioca pudding, one of my favourites, was out and my husband told one of the cooks that I was sad about it. So he brought us two freshly made bowls. So nice! Also, the water is being refilled all the time, even when it is super busy. We love this place!

A bit pricey, but it's a very good buffet. It's almost always busy, so the food is fresh and hot. They cook in smaller batches and refill as it empties, so there isn't a huge pan of food just sitting out. They even have a bit of dim sum, which is fantastic. I didn't try the more niche items because I'm a scaredy cat, but the pork dumplings were very good. Half the buffet is western fare, so there's something here to feed everyone.
