About Dragon Palace
Dragon Palace serves Chinese food for dining in or takeaway on Barrack Rd in Christchurch, with delivery also available for those eating off site. Alongside the à la carte menu, an All You Can Eat buffet runs for diners who want to sample more of the 14-dish list rather than order individual plates. The Dragon Palace Hors D'Oeuvres and Chicken Oyster Sauce sit among the à la carte options, and Set Dinner menus are laid out for groups sharing a table. Dishes are cooked to order, and orders come with a complimentary dish included. The room opens daily in the evenings only, and reservations are recommended given table service from waitstaff. High chairs are set out for families with young children, and the step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs. A small car park sits round the back of the building.

Customer Review Summary
The buffet, cooked fresh to order and served piping hot, draws the most consistent praise, with several reviewers calling portions generous and one noting a "Set Dinner D" that left three diners with leftovers to take home. Close behind, specific dishes stand out: the Singapore chow mein, chicken balls, and a chicken cashew nut and sweet and sour spread earn direct recommendations, and multiple reviewers mention receiving a complimentary dish with their order. Service is repeatedly described as attentive and friendly, including one mention of two waitresses by role and an owner described as friendly and polite. One reviewer who ordered weekly reports a single letdown, a delivery that arrived stone cold, chips included, leading them to say they would not order again. Another reviewer flags the buffet's cost, noting a table can run considerably higher once drinks and a discretionary service charge are added, and advises weighing up whether the a la carte menu works out cheaper for lighter eaters. Parking comes up as tight but workable, with a car park round the back.

“Amazing take away! Food was so good and staff were lovely when collecting the order. We received a complimentary dish which was lovely - definitely recommend the Singapore chow mein and chicken balls 😍”

“First time going there and we weren’t disappointed. We booked and chose the buffet menu. Everything was fresh and cooked to order. Arrived at the table pipping hot. Portions were just the right size. I guess he was the owner and he was lovely, friendly and polite. We’d definitely go back there again and recommend”

“Where do I start. Two lovely waitresses served us - Amber and Rhea. Extremely attentive and clearly experienced despite youth. …”

“Normally the food is really hot, and tasty but tonight my order was stone cold, chips totally cold, I’ve ordered from you every week for the last few months, will not be ordering again, very disappointing”

Location
How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
