China Restaurant Goldener Drachen in Malente

Was there for the first time yesterday with my girlfriend, our little one and grandma. Very friendly staff. In contrast to the well-known Chinese restaurant from Lübeck, the buffet here is really at least a class better. The buffet is quite small but the quality is unbeatable.

The selection is clear and I find the drinks expensive, but the family that runs this shop is very, very nice! 👍

This place is really recommended... Not only is it fairly priced, but it also tastes really damn good. They still pay attention to quality and there is less choice than at the big chains, which have now become almost twice as expensive, but here you still have a really great flair and you are someone, not just a number. People recognize you here and are greeted nicely and everything. And no matter whether it's for the buffet on the weekend or ordering tickets, I'd rather go here than anywhere else.

Went there again for lunch. Duck, tasty and spicy, really great. Mother of all had a lot to do but was always friendly and approachable. We look forward to the next time when our son is there too.

There is very tasty food here. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. Note: On Fridays and Saturdays there is only a buffet in the evenings. This has a very good selection! Always my pleasure!

We were there today, Friday, for the dinner buffet. The buffet costs €18.90 per person, which is a great price. The restaurant itself is a dining room without a lot of chi-chi and decorative nonsense, which is completely fine for us because we were there to eat and it was convincing. The buffet/selection is not as large as in the large buffet restaurants, but the quality of the food is really good. Because the aluminum containers are not large, fresh produce is constantly produced, so everything is always fresh. The meat is very tender, the vegetables have a bite. We enjoyed everything and will definitely come back here. By the way, the service staff are super nice, attentive and quick.

Food was OK. Service was very nice. Everything is nice in the front of the restaurant, but not appropriate for a restaurant in the back area. There are reserve chairs around, other things that have no space are visible.

Very nice restaurant. Great food and very friendly, attentive service.

Delicious food, nice conditions. I'd love to come back

A hidden gem in Malente. The food selection isn't huge, but what you get is well made. The pricing is fair and the food is tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Super delicious food and very friendly staff. The price-performance ratio is definitely right. However, the background noise is quite high.

Very tasty food! Very friendly staff! Simply great

This restaurant is simply recommended.

We were in this restaurant for the first time yesterday. We were greeted very friendly and immediately felt welcome. My husband chose the duck with 8 gems and I chose the fish with sweet and sour sauce. Both dishes tasted delicious and were very well seasoned. All in all, a rock-solid meal. We liked it a lot. Fair price-performance ratio is also worth mentioning. We'll try the buffet on our next visit. Reservation is recommended. Buffet only on Fridays and Saturday evenings, no á la carte on these evenings. Price 18.90 p.p. Have now tested the buffet. The best Asian buffet in the area. We won't go to anyone else! It is constantly refilled, so it is always hot and crispy. Quality definitely counts here. In our opinion, there is something for everyone.

Friendly service, food quick, a bit greasy but tasty. Restaurant looks like a converted German restaurant, somewhat sober.

The food was very tasty and the staff was very polite and accommodating. There wasn't even a language barrier. Price/performance was very good. I am the wrong person to contact for Ambiente. Will eat there again. Thanks.

The restaurant itself is rather “simple” and the food is very tasty and plentiful. You'll get full! The service is very good and very friendly. We'll be back, promise!

Food was very good and plentiful. Beforehand there was plum wine and a fortune cookie and at the end a small ice cream, of course without charge.

We haven't had such a delicious Chinese meal in a long time. Staff super friendly.👍

Very very tasty and very filling to eat

The food was freshly prepared, but the quality wasn't particularly good. The duck was fatty and gristly, the pork was way too spicy. Little choice of food.

Delicious Chinese restaurant. Very nice staff. We were greeted with plum wine and a scoop of ice cream on the house for dessert. Things like that don't happen that often anymore. And it was delicious too. Hats off! Gladly again.

We went to Malente to eat at the "Goldener Drachen" without any particular expectations. When we entered the restaurant, we first noticed that it was busy and everything seemed tidy. I would consider the ambience to be more “simple”. The young employee greeted us very friendly and immediately had a table for two. Looking at the menu we quickly found what we were looking for. Once sweet and sour duck, once duck with morels. As a starter, wonton soup and baked wontons. The starter was well prepared, which can quickly go wrong, especially with baked wontons, if they stay in the hot fat for too long. These were spot on. After a reasonable wait, our ducks arrived. Even the first look at the dishes only suggested the best. Everything looked very tasteful. The culinary delight itself was even greater. The meat was perfect and not a bit too dry or overcooked. The vegetable and mushroom garnish was exactly what you would want. We haven't eaten at a Chinese restaurant in a long time. That certainly wasn't our only visit to the "Golden Dragon". And we were served extremely nicely!! Since I rarely take photos of food, I ask you to trust me even without them :-)

Very friendly service and food at good prices. The lunch menu is a special recommendation. The starters were a large portion and the desserts were also generous and very tasty. A very good choice in Malente.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Everything was very tasty, very inexpensive and everything was very freshly prepared. Service is absolutely reliable. It was great and we would love to come back

Great, nice, friendly staff. Delicious dishes served fresh and hot. Fresh, seasonal ingredients. And above all, the little touches attached.

Ate buffet, which was very tasty. It was always replenished quickly. Staff nice and friendly.

Delicious as always. The buffet was plentiful. Nice condition again and again.

Small but very tasty buffet. Very friendly staff. Even the price was completely ok.

Actually 5 stars… Update 06/21/24 A few days ago I was there again to pick up a takeaway order. We always had very nice evenings at the buffet, which was always very good in terms of quality and price! We came from near Lübeck specifically for this purpose. Unfortunately, I was really a bit disappointed with my last meal there. The quality and taste of my order was no longer what I was used to. I also found the portion size (chicken with 8 treasures sauce and rice) for €16.50 (with packaging) to be quite small. A bit disappointing. Update: after I've been there several times and also ordered something to take away, I was very satisfied again. That's why they want five stars again!

I really enjoy coming to eat...nice service and a great buffet

The best Chinese restaurant, pleasant atmosphere, wonderful staff and the food is simply great!!

Food good with a reasonable price/performance ratio. Ambience rather simple, but staff nice and friendly. We had a buffet, all you can eat. Always hot and refilled immediately.

In fact, the dishes all taste different - there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Well seasoned. Price/performance fits.

Very good and fresh food, the staff is very nice, it puts you in a good mood straight away if you aren't already in one. Normal to cheaper prices like larger Asians. Absolutely to suggest.

Very tasty food, very nice service, thank you very much

We come from Lübeck especially to enjoy this delicious food. And it's always worth it! The duck or chicken a la China tastes exceptional, the wontons are great, and the baked chicken with spicy sauce is simply a culinary delight. Here you can still get the now rare plum wine as an aperitif and even a small surprise dessert as a dessert. The innkeeper is a very nice person and his mother cooks herself, as I noticed. The Saturday buffet is also very good and is always freshly refilled. The only thing I have to complain about is that you can't order a la carte that day. That's a bit of a shame because not everyone likes buffets. But otherwise 6 out of five stars😉

I think the interior design could be changed a bit, so it has a hall character. Otherwise everything fits.

Food was good. Order was also there quickly. Will eat there again. When I'm back on vacation.

What delicious food, great service, extremely friendly and simply beautiful! It's a great place to spend an evening and I'll definitely try the lunch menu! Only the dusty containers at the buffet (there was no buffet) were unsightly and it echoed very loudly.

The food is really great. Service was very friendly and the lady also has a very, very good memory.

The food is super delicious 😋 Whether the buffet or the lunch, very, very tasty 😋 The lovely family is always very friendly and accommodating....Everyone is very hardworking......

Delicious food and buffet. Chinese people all seem to be sitting giants. The tables are too high for me.

Were there for lunch. Great duck dish and price ok too. Unfortunately, the store has something of a waiting hall. Service quick and friendly.

A cozy shop, with very friendly service and excellent curry. I'd love to come back here :)

Food was super tasty, price-performance fair, top quality and super friendly staff. We'd love to come back!

Gestern war ich mit einer Freundin dort zum Mittagstisch. Wir hatten Ente und Huhn nach Chinaart....es war einfach köstlich und sehr schön angerichtet.

Das Essen und die Bedienungen waren sehr gut! Parken konnten wir abends direkt am Restaurant. Sollte ich nochmal in der Nähe sein, komme ich wieder!

Wir besuchen sehr gerne dieses Restaurant. Das Essen und der Service lässt keine Wünsche offen. Bis zum nächsten Mal.

Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist in Ordnung. Sehr gute Qualität zu fairen Preisen. Das Entenfleisch ist exzellent. Mittagstisch ist wirklich fair und selten qualitativ gestaltet.

Waren zum Buffet essen dort, ein kleiner Laden, nette Besitzer, etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Ein überschaubares Buffet mit nicht allzu großer Auswahl. Speisen waren sehr lecker. Oft dauerte es länger, bis Speisen nachgefüllt wurden, da der Besucheransturm zu groß war.

Essen ist noch nicht da, aber es gibt Bier

Ich bin seit bald 20 Jahren Gast beim Goldendrachen, die ganze Familie ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, das Essen hat nie enttäuscht.

Freundlich und lecker Am Wochenende mit einem kleinen Buffet. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen

Netter Service, gutes Essen frisch zubereitet, ausgezeichnetes Buffet

Reservieren ist hier auf alle notwendig. Freitag und Samstag gibt es leckeres Buffet. Parken ist etwas schwierig

Ich muss ehrlich gestehen, dass ich noch nie so lange auf mein Essen warten musste. Aber ich bin sowas von begeistert, jede Minute warten hat sich gelohnt. So frisch, und so exakt auf den Punkt zubereitet, dass habe ich noch nirgends anders erlebt. Der mega Hammer, hier muss man unbedingt gegessen haben.

seit mittlerweile 12 jahren gehen wir regelmässig bei aufenthalt in malente dort essen . etliche male - und das konstant gut . die speisekarte ist reichhaltig , das restaurant ist mittags und abennds geöffnet . hier kann man für angemessene nicht überteuerte preise gut - sehr gut essen ! es gibt auch vegetarisches - gemüse - tofu - gerichte und neben ente , hähnchen , rind und fisch auch pute ! lecker ! zu empfehlen !

Personal, scheint nicht aus der Gastro zu sein. Nach 45 min gabs erst Getränke, Essen kam dementsprechend noch später (über 1 Std Wartezeit für Vorspeisen). Essen war lecker, allerdings war das Besteck und die Gläser überhaupt nicht gut gereinigt, auf einem Glas war noch Lippenstift von einer anderen Person zuvor :-( Löffel und Gabel waren teilweise noch verdreckt und sahen benutzt aus. Nach Reklamation nicht mal ein Sorry!? NoGo!!! Auf Hygiene sollte immer geachtet werden! Personen von 1-2 wurden schneller bedient obwohl später gekommen sind... In den Räumlichkeiten war es sehr warm bis schwül (wohl Wetter bedingt) Klimaanlage fehlanzeige. Buffet wird erst ab 18 Uhr angeboten. A La Cart Preise ok. Mittagstisch Angebotspreise nicht Fair, vor allem für solch einen Sevice. Fazit, erneuter Besuch wird nicht stattfinden...Aufgrund der schlechten Hygiene nicht empfehlenswert. Der Koch scheint gut zu sein, essen war lecker.

Das Essen war sehr lecker und das Personal war sehr Freundlich und Höflich

Gut, schnell und sehr preiswert!!!!! An Ambiente könnte man Pfeilen. Sehr empfehlenswert 😃😃

Bardzo smaczne dania! Polecam! Przemiła obsługa!

Das Essen war mega lecker und der Service ist top höflich und nett, leider fand ich das Ambiente nicht so gut. Da fehlt ein wenig mehr China style...

Übersichtliches, aber ausreichendes Buffet zu sehr akzeptablen Preis.

Sehr leckeres Essen Sehr liebes Personal Immer wieder gerne

Ehrliche Asia-Küche mit gutem Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis und freundlich bemühtem Service. Der Junior in den Fußstapfen seiner Eltern,- ehemals im Bahnhof. Sowohl Portionen der Tagesmenüs als auch der regulären Karte lassen kaum jemanden hungrig gehen... B Weiter so...und immer wieder gerne! Besonders die Entenbrust-Gerichte unter der Woche als auch das Buffet ab Sonn-und Feiertagenn führen und immer wieder hin.....🙏🍀👍

Essen telefonisch bestellt und abgeholt. Hat zwar noch einen Moment gedauert, aber das Essen,alle drei Gerichte sehr lecker. Heiß,knackiges Gemüse,gute Option und geschmacklich echt gut. Danke und bis zum nächsten mal...👍

Preis/Leistung stimmt. Essen war nur nicht meins. Schon bessere gebratene Nudeln gegessen. Ist ja aber immer Geschmackssache.

Freundliche und sehr aufmerksame Betreiberfamilie. Tolles und trotzdem bezahlbares Buffet. Man fühlt sich hier Willkommen. Das Mitnahmeessen ist ebenfalls reichlich und zu empfehlen

Tolles leckeres Essen und nette Bedienung

Für mich immer noch das beste China-Restaurant - bin mindestens 1 x im Monat dort

Wir hatten das Buffet. Es war qualitativ ok, aber nicht besonders gut. Das Enten- und Hühnerfleisch waren sehr zart. Ansonsten alles sehr mild gewürzt ohne individuellen Touch - nichts mit chinesischem Original-Geschmack dabei. Das frittierte Brot war ganz gut. Der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich, die Preise moderat: 16 EUR für das Buffet. Ok, wenn man nur satt werden möchte und keine hohen Ansprüche hat.
