Restaurant review

Do you like the sound of Asian music accompanied by gentle lighting and americanized Chinese food? Then the Dragon Wall restaurant of Sheridan is the place to visit. Though Dragon Wall’s food is very americanized (sorry authentic Chinese food lovers) the staff are actually Chinese. This helps to create a very authentic feeling atmosphere, along with the bonus of always making you feel tall. Of course the music, decorations and lighting help. The general atmosphere of the restaurant is extremely inviting, gentle and a bit cozy. Cozy as in it gets a little crowded sometimes. Which really is a good sign overall, as generally the more people that go to a place and the more frequently they go the more popular it is. The setup of the building helps to add to the atmosphere of the Dragon Wall. It has a small entry way decorated with painted fish and a miniature waterfall. After walking in the door one is greeted by the friendly smile of the cashier at the front desk. After paying you will turn to the right to find the center of the spacious room filled with a four station buffet plus drink platform. Then you will have the choice of either right or left for seating as both are filled with a sufficient amount of booths and tables. The booths are fairly open and evenly spaced. The tables on the other hand are a little cozy, though they are the only places to seat a large group of people. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. They will always offer a smile. They also are very good at replacing empty food trays at the buffet as quickly as possible. The staff is also great at clearing plates from your table quickly and quietly. The food is average and filling though not exceptional. The Dragon Wall offers a fair amount of varying pastas and meats. ‘General Tsao’s Chicken’ is one of their more famous dishes. They also have soups, fruits, and deserts including: pudding, ice creams, jellos, and mandarin oranges. Despite the fact that they are a Chinese restaurant they only have two rice dishes and about 3 noodle dishes. Most of their others are some type of meat or vegetable. Though their food is americanized it still has a Chinese aspect to it and is very filling. The Dragon Wall is also a nice place to go because of its buffet style. This allows you to come in, find a table, and then go and get your food, without waiting for your food to be prepared or your waiter to bring you the menus. Thus overall, the Dragon Wall has a comfortable atmosphere, with filling food and friendly service.
