All the food tasted old and stale. The staff was nice but I wouldn’t eat here again or recommend anyone else eat here.

Food was good not great. Service was good not great. No sushi. Sweet and sour sauce was watery. The lo mein was spaghetti noodles but the other food was standard fair for a Chinese buffet. You can get sushi & good lo mein at the Peking Chinese buffet a couple miles down the road but their sweet and sour sauce is also watered down a lot.

Potatoes were terrible, oysters very bad quality, tasted terrible, peppers in the mixed dishes were cold like they had just came out of the fridge.Overall experience was very bad. Made me sick to my stomach, barely made it to the restroom in Rural King two times and was sick during the night and also today. Friend that was with me had same experience, makes her sick to even think about it

I should have known by the appearance alone of the buffet, I should have taken my family elsewhere. Needless to say we all have upset stomachs. My son wouldn't even touch anything on his plate, which was not like him! I basically paid for my other 2 kids to eat dessert.. which was still not the best. They barely would touch their food it was so gross. Food was soggy and wet and the flavor was just off. The meat was slimy and stringy. Also there were not as many options like before either. Overall very disappointed. I used to love coming here. It's really gone down hill. Won't be returning.

We stopped here while in town for a Dr appt. I'd really been missing the type of chinese food I was used to eating before moving back to WV. I looked at the buffet before ordering and was pleased that it looked like what I was used to. Unfortunately that's where my happiness ended. This was the worst Buffet I have ever been to in my entire life. Every dish was swimming in water and was all soggy and gross. It was nasty and nothing had any flavor. Whoever does the cooking has no clue what they're doing. Save your money and skip this awful buffet.

What a disappointment. It’s a buffet with very few options and what they do have is heavily breaded and tasteless. It opened at noon and we found the items on the buffet was cold at 12:30. Over priced for what was available on the buffet.

Dragon palace has a buffet style menu set up. This is a serve yourself style place. Very cozy place to just enjoy a quiet meal. The one thing they don't have that would be nice is take home cups for drinks. They do not do take out drinks. Overall, this place was nice.

Best chineese buffet in Princeton. You can even order a box to get the buffet to go if you are short on time. Food is always fresh and if its still not fresh enough for you all you have to do is ask and they are very accomidating. Prices are very reasonable, service is great and the atmosphere is just like any Chinese buffet. Love this place. Eat here often.

The food used to be good at Dragon Palace but not anymore. I ordered the peppered chicken wich I had from there before and it was delicious before not anymore the onions and peppers were almost raw like they didn't even put those in the pan to cook I had to recook them at home to make them edible. The egg rolls are a total joke 1.60 and they are tiny I mean 2 bite tiny the frozen ones you buy in the grocery store are twice the size is how small they are. The meal wasn't cheap either. We will never be back. Do yourself a favor if you want chinese food in Princeton go to Hong Kong. They give big portions and have the best egg rolls in town, reasonably priced also.

They always asking if we need anything else or if we need refills on our drinks... Hands down it's my favorite place to eat .... I'll continue coming here until I can find another Chinese restaurant that beats their food and prices....

This place is bare. The egg rolls taste like old fish. The lo mein tasted like overcooked ramen. The “fried” rice was nothing but regular white rice with some soy sauce. I guess if you live here and that is all you can afford well kudos. Passing through, keep on going don’t stop here.

The chicken on hot bar was cold. Made comment to waiter. He acted like he wasn't very concerned. Told me to go back get more. My boyfriend went up to get my chicken for me.

But I have never been sick so I guess its still safe. Lunch is always nice and fresh and if you go around 4-6 itll be fresh and hot. Ive had take out too and its always great

It's been a few years since I've eaten here and can't believe how the bad the quality of the food is. Nothing was hot, the steamed rice was hard and dry, can't imagine how long that has been sitting in the cooker, three of the food trays were really dried out like it's been sitting all day. None of my family finished their plates much less went for seconds. WON'T be back!

This is, without question the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. My wife and mother-in-law were with me. Only bottled drinks. Only four choices. Pepsi, Mt Dew, tea, and water. The chicken in the chicken and rice was not textured like chicken. Rubbery. And no flavor whatsoever in it or the rice. General Tso's chicken had no flavor and gristle in almost every bite I tasted which wasn't much. And prices totally and completely out of line for this sub par food. Never again.

Me and my partner and a friend of mine went here and the chicken with noodles tasted off the sesame chicken was over cooked and chewy. I asked for shrimp fried rice with added veggies and didn’t get no shrimp. I use to love this place but it seems to have gone down hill. The fried rice was about the only good thing we got. We hope to have a better experience next time.

I personally do not care for their food, but it is very popular on the dash. I honestly think their food is to salty, but that's just my honest opinion. For the most part their orders are always made on time, just don't care for the quality of food for the price.

My opinion is the food was disgusting, I ordered three dinners $30, I live 18 minutes away so after I got home and tasted it my son and I threw ours in the trash. All of the chicken seemed to be dark meat which I hate, the rice tasted like chicken flavored microwavable rice, and the chicken lo mein noodles was too salty. Not one thing was good! I will NEVER eat there again!
