Dragon China in Carlsbad

An excellent Chinese buffet for a town of Carlsbad's size. My Chinese wife, liked it....that means a lot!

I came for lunch and was really pleased. The food is really flavorful. It’s pretty standard for Chinese buffets, but they also have a good sushi selection. The staff was really friendly and you can tell they are happy to work here. Great place to people watch.

Buffet in a Desert? too good to be true.IT WAS AWFUL, $13+/person on a Tuesday afternoon. All chicken dishes were floating in 2 inches of water and did not have much chicken in them, just fried dough, it was so hard and gross, the plate of food in the photos is my photo of the BAD CHICKEN. of course veggies, fish, salad bar, dessert and noodle dishes were okay. the sushi bar was decent for a Chinese place. ***I would order To-Go and have them make 1 of your favorite dishes. The employees care little about the place. As always, the bathrooms were nice, Asian places keep their restaurants clean and well decorated.

Good food. Nearly ate myself sick. :)

This place isn't bad but it'll give you some bubble guts.

It was alright till Nikki our server kept asking if we gonna pay here or at the register while my friend was finishing his desert multiple time but the sushi was amazing so server 1 star restaurant 4.5 stars

Staff is very friendly, all of the food is very good.Nothing was bad.

Even during peak hours you can get a seat. Friendly staff, great food and super price for all you can eat.

Great food and service. Place was clean, food was fresh and the price was great. $9.66 total for lunch. I will be back my next time through Carlsbad.

Quick easy faves with sweet staff. Clean and relaxed atmosphere. Lots of choices and look out for new things to try. They have sushi as well as buffet. Great for big family dinners.

Good food. Good selection. Very good service. Clean and well stocked.

Writing this review with my stomach and heart full. After roaming around West Texas on a road trip I was in Carlsbad for the Caverns and I was craving for something close to my Indian taste palates, my hotel help desk suggested this place and I am glad they did. This place should probably the next best thing in Carlsbad, most variety I've ever seen in a buffet, if you're in town this is a must visit restaurant. And if you don't like asian food they do have pizza, breaded chicken/shrimp and other stuff included in the buffet.

The staff is amazing and were always eager to help. The food was good for a buffet, but nothing more. I tried a taste of everything that looked interesting to me. I managed to get a piece of fried catfish fresh from the kitchen and that was by far my favorite thing.

I'll start by saying I would eat there again. It typical buffet style food. See attached pictures for quality. My only reason for a 4/5 star review: The Sushi Ginger. I don't know what was on it, what was wrong with it, or what it even was but I felt as though I could have vomited up my dinner.

Super stocked no wait on Friday night at 6 pm. and super friendly

One of the best places to eat in Carlsbad. The food is always of very good quality. I eat here quite often, because no matter what I'm in the mood for (except Steak) they have fare for every craving. All your standard Asian buffet dishes , with green beans , corn, and crawfish along with a ton of other items. The staff is always very friendly and very on top of their service. My drink never makes it to half , bc the wait staff is always prepared to refill. Great food, great staff, great value!

Staff are great, food good for a buffet, prices very good.

If your driving through or staying in Carlsbad NM, you should try this place! It's a great deal for a large variety of Chinese Food, fresh, maintained selections you're sure to appreciate. That staff was excellent and ready to assist customers. Very professional and friendly. The restaurant was a large building with room for everyone. The food I selected was wonderful. Easy access from the main "north south" road through town. Prices were reasonable and all you can eat buffet.

Clean. Great servers. Always great selection of food even if you don’t enjoy everything it’s nice to have options. Plus who doesn’t like a chinese buffet.

Dine-In was closed but Take-Out options were OK. Delicious General Tso Chicken- just spicy enough and crunchy. Huge portions. Friendly and fast. Time for a nap.

We ordered takeout from the menu today, and not only was the food good but it was hot and plenty of it. We have enough left over for a few more meals.

Food is good when fresh which it's pretty often when we are in the area..I particularly dont care for the server asking .every 10 minutes if everything is ok or standing nearby just staring at people eating..it gets annoying. If I need something I will definitely will get hold of you.

It's a Chinese buffet. Pretty good variety and the steam trays kept pretty well stocked.

Better than I expected for a all you can eat place.

The food was a perfect and quick way to stop and eat for the road. Friendly staff. It sure did beat the 45 minute waiting list for chili's Next Door.

Food seemed fine until we noticed the live roaches walking on the ledge beside our table. Gross! Brought it to our servers attention and all he said was "oh yeah, our boss trys to spray but can't get them all." Then the whole group of staff stood staring at the broken ceiling tile for quite awhile above our heads as if they know EXACTLY where the roaches are coming from. Nasty, nasty, nasty!! Do not eat here in this filth.

Good food & great service for under $20

Had good experience food was great like how they are doing it now

Even during peak hours you can get a seat. Friendly staff, great food and super price for all you can eat.

I always get the black pepper chicken. Every time I'm there. It's unreal. Place is generally pretty busy but staff is helpful. Restaurant is generally clean too, despite the filthy clientele you see coming in wearing muddy oilfield coveralls and gross boots. But whatever...they're paying customers too, even if they have no social etiquette. As far as the restaurant goes I have no complaint. Though I wish they served ginger beef 🤤

Food was excellent. Tried different items and all were good. Friend ate seafood and fish and said the salmon was cooked well and still moist not dried out like a lot of buffets. Overall good experience.

It was really really good the atmosphere the employees. Our waiter was Mike and he was most excellent. Thank you for the fine food and service

Good food! Fresh and hot! Fabulous sushi! A very good Chinese Buffet experience! We are looking forward to our next visit!

Awesome! Do not miss it. Really worth the money.. a lot of varieties to try. Definitely recommend

Staff are great, food good for a buffet, prices very good.

Everything I tried tasted great! I was surprised to see sushi at a Chinese buffet but it was also very good.

Service and food was okay, I was very DISGUSTED when I found out the soup I had just eaten had been covered in MOLD! I’m not one to ever write reviews, in fact I’ve never written any review. I will upload a picture. When I had told the server, he had just taken it to the back and told me, “oh it just hot” but it was clearly mold, so I’m assuming they had reused old soup from previous day(s). I’m all about not wasting food, but maybe they should check food before serving it again and again.

It's a Chinese buffet. Pretty good variety and the steam trays kept pretty well stocked.
