Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant

The Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant is located right across the street from the China Buffet. It's a little more of a high-end restaurant, with menus that come in the neat little menu folders.

They have a full bar and a menu full of alcoholic and nonalcoholic treat beverages; Pina Coladas and Daiquiris. I got the China Sea ($3.95) and it was so very good! It took me the length of the entire meal to finish it and it was delicious and fruity.

On a recommendation I ordered the General Tao's Chicken; I've heard people say it's the best entree they have.  You get a LOT of food for the price. The veggie subgum is also crunchy and delicious.

Oriental Palace Buffet

Located on the West Side at 3366 Warren Rd, this buffet is eerily similar to my favorite China Buffet on the East Side in Mayfield. It is your typical China Buffet fare; most importantly at these restaurants, the food is fresh and not left out too long. I'd say this is the West Side version of my favorite Chinese buffet.

At this one in particular I see a lot of people eating alone. I usually want to ask them if they'd like any company, but I'm too shy.

The kicker about this place is the ceiling: it's painted and lit to look like the sky. Very lovely decor!

China Buffet, Mayfield Heights

I'm not going to lie, this is my favorite restaurant. The China Buffet in Mayfield Heights has a secret. A delicious secret. Ready? Here it is:

Honey Chicken and Lo- Mein Noodles. The likes of which you will never get anywhere else. Come at peak dinner time so it will be hot and fresh. Then load up a plate, close your eyes, and prepare for heaven.

Plate after plate, until you can eat no more.

Atmospherically, this is the Wal-Mart of restaurants. I would probably feel comfortable coming here in my fuzzy bunny slippers.
