China Dragon — Restaurant in Plainview

The crown jewel of Plainview, Texas. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical walking into "The Dragon." I'm a man of wide girth, known for slaying buffets, and having a large collection of stretchy pants in every fabric and color that fits a man with a 48 inch waist. I'm known in various regions of Texas as "the buffet slayer" First of all, the handicapped parking accommodates my 1997 GMC Jimmy blazer with the wheelchair ramp extension exceptionally well. If I thought that was t great enough, I walk indoors. My god. First I was struck by the neon lighting fixtures, giving a real hipster vibe. Then bam. All led spotlights on the buffet. They got it all. Different flavors of sauce. I mix them together and it became an off-brown syrupy mixture of sesame tang. The shrimp were at worst 4 days old with a rubbery microwave texture.

Food was on spot delicious. AND the checkout gentleman put his cellphone down and spoke to us. Thank you sir. We appreciated that. We will be...

First time here and last time I won't return, the so called waitress who is actually just a busser never even offered me a drink refill, all she did was take 2 empty plates from the table. All she did was lean on the counter at the waitress station or sit in the end booth the whole time. But all in all the food was good and good price, $14.55 total for buffet and one drink but no tip for the lazy waitress. I wish I would have gotten a different waitress/busser. The other girls kept busy and refilled the guest drinks. They would have...
