The Dragon Chinese Buffet in Arroyo Grande

Still open, not a buffet anymore, now Vietnamese. As of some point in 2019 this place changed overnight.  Used to be a less than desirable Chinese buffet, and now is the only restaurant that can acceptably claim being Vietnamese within the entirety of San Luis Obispo county.  If you're from the Bay Area or LA and know what true Vietnamese cuisine is like, this is the only safe bet.  While it's not the most amazing restaurant you'll ever go to, every other "Vietnamese" place from Paso to Nipomo is an embarrassment when it comes down to it. These guys are the only real deal around here, and most of the staff and is incredibly kind and accommodating.

we use to come often at this place for lunch , the buffet was a good quality price with good variety , but it is not a buffet anymore , just a regular commun boring  Vietnamese restaurant now offering the same old same , wy changing a formula like the buffet for something that is already all over at least with the buffet they were the only on so no competition , no need to go there anymore

This place honestly has great homemade food every time. They have many unique dishes and the owners are truly good people. They're warm and inviting to us and always chat with us. My favorites are the seafood and veggie dish, the mushroom dish, and the five flavor chicken. The only problem is that I had to cut down on how many times I ate there a month because I was gaining weight. Haha
