Great Dragon Buffet Southgate

A Best Buy! A Hidden Diamond of Detroit, Well Worth the Find.. Probably Best Chinese or regular buffet in 50 miles for many reasons.
1st, $6.99 lunch, $10.99 dinner, and $1.35 sodas.
2nd, great always hot food at bar, when out usually replaced food items in 30sec.
3rd: fast,nice Chinese waitresses refilling drinks and clearing the empty plates fast.
4th: Sushi bar is always staffed and well stocked.
5th: Recently remodeled, immaculately clean bathrooms and food bar areas.

Three hot bars, salad/fruit bar, sushi station,and dessert bar with 6 flavors of ice cream, are excellent. 30 spaces for hot food chicken, beef,pork, shrimp, and vegetables, plus 3 soups: egg dop, hot & sour, and wonton.
Tucked between Dollar Tree and Chuck E Cheese, this strip mall has free, easy, and plenty of parking. I have seen it busy but never a line to wait for a table. Food turnover is fast and even when not busy small batches constantly made are fresh.
SouthGate is blessed with two great buffets a mile apart. My wife and I drive 25 miles from Belleville/Ypsilanti since the slow sad demise of Ruby's of Canton and CharHouse of Belleville ( and Westland ), to find the first All American buffet last October. We were told about ( Great ) Dragon Buffet and finally in December tried Dragon.
We have now gone almost exclusively to Dragon about 30 times since we dine out 4 times a week. Lunch for two with two sodas and tax $17.68, dinner $26.16 for the same.
A very family friendly restaurant, and we also like it as they do NOT serve alcohol so no loud and obnoxious drunks, and if you host here no one can run up your bill! ; )
Lunch: salmon, one shrimp dish, 1 or 2 beef, 1 or 2 pork, General Tso's, Honey chicken, wings, nuggets, plus 3 to 5 more chicken dishes, stufffed (and NOT) mushrooms,freedom fries, crab ragoon, garlic bread, 6 to 10 other hot vegetable dishes.
Dinner: same as lunch PLUS 4,5 shrimp dishes, mussels cold and hot, and sushi area has skewered shrimp, thin beef steak, and thin pork steak all in self serve bed of sauteed veggies.
A MUST for fast great food, and unlike Golden Corral and Fire Mountan ( Westland )pay AFTER you eat. Except for Golden Corral's excellent breakfasts, skip lunch and dinner in Westland, and try SouthGate's Dragon Buffet or neaby All American Buffet.

No Prepackaged Sushi Here. I am near to being a Sushi nut, to the point that all I eat at lunch is the prepackaged Sushi from Kroger. So when a guy at work tells me that a local Chinese buffet has a chief on site that makes Sushi, I had to give it a try. The lunch special is under $7 and all you can eat, I did not know what to expect and I am not a bulk eater, quality is more my thing so my first impression was a clean and well lite establishment as it should be. They had a number of employees working the tables and the place was spotless (most of the employees can only speak little to no English.) The food was better than average with a huge variety. I was a little surprised to see salads, fruits, and so many fish dishes, they had a crab dish that was outstanding. It was nice to see other stuff than the standard noodles and chicken deep fried in batter. But my focus was the sushi and I got my money’s worth, the chief was good, not five star but very good. With the understanding that a noble sushi chief has at least five years training, I was curious has to his and he told me in broken English that he was from China went to school in New York as a sushi chief for two years. Overall it was money well spent even for the light eater that wants to focus in on the “better” quality items, I will be going back.
