King Dragon | Buffet • Chinese

If I could rate this place a 0 stars, I gladly would. This place charged 16.99 twice for a buffet, and we barely touched food at all, stomach feels like the food was all bad. My boyfriend and I stayed for about 10 minutes and instantly left after experiencing the food tasting like metal, like maybe from the trays not being cleaned? I occasionally I order take out and enjoy it, so I was looking forward to a good meal. Severs were fine but the female manager made us feel like we were the ones in the wrong, and the manager said nothing and just stared at us, a simple apology could’ve helped but simply not eating here again. $39 for a terrible meal and a couple sips of our drinks.

We came across this restaurant while passing through Gallup on our trip. Later, we realized that this Chinese restaurant and the sushi place next door were actually connected inside, possibly owned by the same person. We arrived on a weekday evening, slightly later than the usual dinner time. Besides us, there was only one other group of customers, who seemed to have been there for a while. At first, the staff appeared to be in a meeting, so no one greeted us. We seated ourselves, and after a moment, a server came over to assist us. He was very nice. After a long day of driving, we were exhausted and took our time looking at the menu, but he remained patient the entire time. He even kindly refilled our personal water bottles with hot water for free. His attitude was consistently polite and welcoming. I ordered a bowl of shrimp miso ramen. To be honest, the taste was quite average—not particularly delicious. The shrimp was a bit overcooked, and the noodles felt slightly undercooked and not fully loosened. But at that moment, I just wanted a hot bowl of noodle soup, so I didn’t have high expectations. What really stood out to me was the service. Even though we only ordered one bowl of ramen, the server remained exceptionally courteous from start to finish. He never showed any impatience or mentioned a minimum charge per person. Instead, he even brought us an extra empty bowl so we could share the noodles more easily. When we were about to leave, I almost forgot my water bottle, but the server ran after me to return it. I was so grateful! I highly recommend this place for its outstanding service—it truly exceeded my expectations!

We go to King Dragon several times a year. Food isn't too bad, but noticed lately, the overfried entrees were so hard, couldn't bite into them. An elderly customer at the next table told me she couldn't eat much because of the hard fried items too. Like the coconut shrimp, a favorite, but lately, it is hard cooked and in tough clumps. We used to go to the old establishment at the plaza, that was remarkable food, really good in those days. Note the service workers are always nice and helpful during our visits.
