Plaza Dragon

Love this place! Hands down best chinese in the area. We love spicy food and these guys are more than happy to modify menu items to fit what we want. Sczehuan chicken lo mein is the best! Food always comes out fast and fresh.

My family and I really enjoy the food here. We order take-​out probably once a month, sometimes more. We’ve probably had take-​out from Plaza Dragon at least 50 times over the years.
The woman who usually answers the phone and runs the register is very friendly and has a great memory. She remembers the sauces we like and we’ve never had them mess up our order.
I will say that I do not recommend the buffet unless they are busy. If they aren’t busy the food doesn’t taste as fresh as I would hope.

I stopped for a lunch break at the Plaza Dragon, which is a typical strip plaza Chinese restaurant located at the Sugar River Plaza (next to Shaw’s, Family Dollar, and McDonald’s). They offer the standard Chinese menu including Luncheon Specials (Mon-​Sat until 3PM), mini platters, and family dinners. They also offer a lunch and dinner buffet (about 20 items) for dine-​in or takeout. The dine-​in buffet (Coke fountain drinks included) is $ 6.45 for lunch and $ 9.25 for dinner, before tax.
As I walked in, I was greeted by an older couple (a man & wife in their 80s), which was unexpected since I initially thought to myself that they looked like your regular customers, but they do work here running the front of the restaurant (cash register and bussing tables). I was asked if I was here for the buffet, and I replied «yes» and I was told I could help myself to the food and fountain soda (Coke drinks) was included with the buffet.
The lunch buffet had vegetable lo mein, pork fried rice, egg rolls, crab rangoons, boneless spare ribs, chicken fingers, chicken teriyakis, beef & mushrooms, chicken & vegetables, General Tso’s chicken, fried shrimp, string beans, fried noodles/​duck sauce. and soups (hot & sour and egg drop). Also desserts (fruit & jello) are served separately upon request.
For the most part, the food on the buffet was not very hot, but just slightly hotter than lukewarm. Some of the food items seemed a bit dried out. The pork fried rice was pretty good, which had peas, carrots, fried onions, and tender roast pork cubes. The lo mein noodles had a good firm texture. The crab rangoons were crispy outside (not greasy) with a clumped cheese/​imitation crab meat filling. The egg roll had mostly cabbage filling with ground pork and a slight sweet taste. The chicken teriyaki stick was sweet which had chewy tender boneless chicken. The hot & sour soup had a mild taste with generous amounts of soft tofu in the mixture of vegetables & bamboo roots.
Overall, a decent small lunch buffet with a bottomless fountain drink at a fair price.
