So we use to go here alot while under different family management. It was really good especially if you ordered ahead and things that were not in the chaffing dishes. We weren't real happy the first time we ordered take out and realized it was new management, prices and service were not so great. I was craving Chinese food yesterday and read some reviews and it was apparent that it took them some time to get it going like it is now which was really really good! Service was good but the food was great! I got the curry chicken lunch plate with chow mein, daughter got sweet and sour shrimp and wife got the kung pao shrimp all plates were cleaned and all bellys were full, perfect portions! Thanks Dragon!

Great food, fast service. It was just what I wanted. New to the area and looking for my go-to chinese restaurant. Very happy with this place so far. Lo mein noodles were cooked perfectly and the general tsos was perfect as well. The service was exactly what I expected, efficient, abrupt, and to the point. Some reviews say the customer service is horrible but this was not my experience. I can see how the service may come across this way but in no way was the service I received rude or disrespectful. Possibly cultural differences. Will definitely return.

Great orange chicken and general tso's chicken. Really nice staff with home cooked vibe. Huge portions. I wish I still lived in SD. I would go here all the time. Don't let the strip mall exterior fool you, this place is excellent!

Insanely good and a great price. I had the $6.99 lunch special with Orange Chicken and Fried Rice. Much rather go here than Panda any day! Apologies for comparing to Panda, but that's pretty much my go-to Chinese, this place is exponentially better!!!

I walked in and Jenny Introduced herself from behind the counter. Great Prices and Specials for under $9 you cant find that everywhere. I loved the chow mein and the Orange Chicken was very good. I will be going back for more later this week :)

Amazingly fast; your meal will be ready before you actually get to the restaurant to pick it up

Kind and attentive service, and the food is really top quality. Salt and Pepper wings are a must. I had them at a get-together some months back and had been thinking about them ever since. Took a while to try them again since we live up in Riverside County, but oh goodness, they were so worth the wait! And the breading on the fried proteins is so light and crispy. Everything has great flavor, all around. Loved it. And the portions are perfect for lots of tasty leftovers!

Omg! This place was so delicious and so fresh. Food served hot! Veggies cooked to perfection. We tried the sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken (will make you eat no one else's) fried rice and chow mein. I can't wait to come back and try more 💖😁🤤the owner was sweet, kind and filled with loved! No other way food can't taste that good 😊

Wanted some fried rice for lunch and came across this place. Was pleasantly surprised by the food quite good and huge portions. Had left overs the next day and were still good. Staff at front were very friendly and attentive. Had the kungpo chicken and it was actually spicy with chunks of peppers in it. Had such great flavors without being overly sweet or salty.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. Authentic and good price. Visited a few times, never disappointed. Even the fried noodles (chow mein) in the lunch platter was good - you can taste the subtle "wok chi" meaning it was properly stir fried, rather than just mixing with dark soy sauce. The General Tso chicken is a bit dry but portion is generous, as in a lunch platter. Tried the Mongolian beef, spicy fish with tofu, and fried rice noodle before, and they were also delicious. Recommended!

Delicious! Healthy fresh authentic Chinese food. Served with kindness. Highly recommend this wonderful mom and pop restaurant! 🙏

Always a wonderful experience. Food came out like 8 minutes after ordering always hot and fresh. Can't wait to come back!!

I don't know why the dry chili chicken isn't featured in bold. It is my most favorite takeout meal. Pillowy soft diced chicken with a crisp exterior and mouthwatering five spice that tingles on your tongue. Must try

Vegetarian Review: A fair few vegetarian options. Had the Tofu with Mixed Vegetables and the Vegetable Chow Mein, both tasted very good. The lady working there was very friendly and polite.

Awesome Chinese food! Their egg drop soup is the best I've had in a long time! My girlfriend and I had the broccoli chicken and the sweet and sour chicken and we both devoured the food because it was so good! The dinner platter is a very good price for what you get. They are also very quick and friendly! I will definitely be coming here again!

Best funny experience ever......dont go if you are in a bad mood. Lady will be rude if you dont give her menu back when she asks for it. If you want more water....good luck she will tell you to get it yourself. Paying, basically, you pay as you order. But she will pressure you to tip high. "No tip" is not an option. Food is ok, I mean what do you spect from a fast food place. No plates here for your food all is served in a to go tray.

Wonderful! We recently moved to the area and enjoyed a dinner to celebrate my Orange Chicken loving Son's Birthday! They were kind and courteous on the phone taking our order and the food was ready quick for a large order and delicious! Everyone agreed that all the food we got was wonderful and enjoyed by all! Highly recommend!

Wife ordered the salt and pepper chicken pieces. Which were 💣 She also ordered the chow mein, which is one of the best noodles I've ever had. This place is bomb and will be returning. Will update next time I come back.

Hey guys, just a tourist from Arizona but I just wanted to say this place was great! My partner and I ordered the shrimp chow mein, and beef & broccoli which were delicious! Don't have much to say beyond that 😅.

By far the best salt and pepper wings I’ve ever had. The best wings I’ve ever had period. Also the chow mien is the best ever. Salt and pepper fish is legit.

Very flavorful food!! 3 of us ordered 5 dishes and almost finished all of it!! House Special fried rice, House Special Chow Mein, General Tso's chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, & Spicy Fish. All we're delish!!

This was a nice place to have a quick lunch. The lunch special is a pretty good value. I had Kung Pao Shrimp and it was good. I wished that the price included soup or an egg roll. A small bowl of soup to add on was 5 dollars. You get an entree which comes with rice or noodles. You get a very generous plate of food. My husband and son had the General Tsao’s Chicken and said that was good. The food comes out quick and hot. I observed several people having different things that looked very delicious so I would probably go back. Good service. The lady was so nice.

I really only get the Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Drop Soup and the Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings. It's good every time. Customer service is ok. They never seem to have personal relation skills, and yet more focused on the buck.

Eggplant and Tofu in Garlic Sauce was super good, and the meat/shrimp in the House Chow Mein was really tender. Lady at the front was so sweet.

First time here.. I ordered the black pepper chicken lunch meal. It was just OK (7 out of 10). The fried rice was a bit dry and bland. Overall, this is a reasonable choice for a quick meal.

a nice and clean place with reasonable lunch prices and friendly owners. The food was tasty and served super fast. a must try

Liked the restaurant. Tried their lunch platter, pretty decent! Service was good!

It is genuine, authenthic, Chinese Food. The quality of the food here is unbeatable. The prices compared to other restraunts that serve the same or similar kind of food are unmatchable. We got around 9 dishes humungous dishes and only payed around one hundred and thirty five dollars which is a steal in my book. Definitely try this place out!

They are good at show, but the orange chicken was stringy and the beef I'm the beef and broccoli was undercooked. Not to mention everything was room temperature. The employees were walking around doing nothing and staring at me, which made me very uncomfortable.

Its do the job. I eat real Chinese food at home so I knew it's an autodown-grade but friends insist. Service, staff, are great and fast. Food is what you make of it if you eat the real thing. If not then you'll love it.

The food was flavorful and the quantity was good... some of it was a bit overcooked and undercooked however.. we ordered Wor Wonton soup which had great flavor but all of the vegetables had been simmered too long... they were mush... the sweet and sour pork had great taste but could have been cooked a little longer.. it was also fairly doughy and mushy to chew.. could have just been timing on our part since it all tasted good.. we’re going to try again and see it’s a exception or pattern. Service was good and the staff was welcoming..

They charged for the chips though I got soup. The shrimp where very small and not alot of quantity. Shrimp with vegetables asked to make spicy wasn't. They charged for side of rice. Lo mein didn't have a lot of taste. They charged for every little thing.

I ordered the chicken egg Fu Yung. The food had a good flavor, and it was a fairly generous portion. However, I could not find any chicken in the dish. When I mentioned it, the owner came and showed me a miniscule piece of chicken. I found no other chicken in the food. Not at all what I am accustomed to with this dish. The only other comments I must make (with the hope that the management takes this to heart) is that the little restaurant is sorely lacking in visual appeal. On the outside, the windows are cluttered and messy. A hand lettered sign announces that they are closed on Wednesdays. Step it up a bit and at least print this notice on the computer, then encase it in a clear sleeve. Make the outside of your restaurant appealing. I saw several people walk up, look at the menu, look at the restaurant, then walk away. Additionally, the fold out menu displayed on the window is crooked. It is also placed where it is difficult to see, as one must bend over an outside table to see the menu. Might seem small, but to draw customers inside, they need to make the restaurant appealing from the sidewalk. Inside, the plants are healthy and gorgeous. The tables and chairs are nice, and the art on the walls is lovely. HOWEVER, they need to pay attention to visual details. There is a ragged rug on the floor near the drink machine. There was a huge plate of Bones left on a table the entire time I was there, and there was plenty of time to clear it. The area with supplies for drinks is very messy. It could be hidden from customers' view. The newspapers are very messy in a heap. Again, details matter. The glossy pictures of the foods they offer are ok, but not displayed nicely. They all need to come down, and be replaced in a neat and orderly manner. I suggest placing only a few, smaller versions of representative dishes, instead of the 40+ they have depicted. I'm disappointed after having read other reviews that indicate very good food. Not sure I'll be back. Can my feel comfortable recommending this place, even though I would like to.

I ordered the cream cheese wonton and shrimp chow mein. There was little to no cream cheese in the wonton. The shrimp chow mein only had 4 pieces of shrimp in it. Only reason i know is because i was shocked to only see a 4 on top and wondered if there were more throughout the noodles. There wasn't. I'm not going back and pretending as if the place doesn't exist.

So nasty! A piece of chicken taste like dish liquid. Rice was dry and chow mien taste like I don't know. Wasn't right, wasn't right! I sick ogt right after eating it. I haven't had that sensations in years.

We were looking for a new local Chinese Food place and came across Dragon Chinese Restaurant. We made and Paid for our order online, because we thought it would be convenient and fast when picking up the order. When we went to pick up the order, the lady at the front counter told us that they were out of the BBQ Pork Ribs dinner. When we told them that was okay and to just refund the amount they charged us for the BBQ Pork Ribs dinner ($8.99), they told us that they could not refund the money because it was already paid for and they had us order some other dish to replace the BBQ Pork Ribs dinner, which we did not want. This is the reason why we will never go back to this place.

Wow this place has good food but unfortunately they tried to cook us alive. Well it felt that way. The day I when I believe it was in the low 90s and there was no a/c we were expected to sit there eat our food and melt. I had made my peace with the fact that we could just sit and it there so we ate in my car. But I can back the nest day to order a cake a few doors down and noticed the door closed at the dragon Chinese restaurant. So I said no way. Why would they have their door closed it so hot. So I go after I went to the bakery just to see if they a/c way work and it was so cool and fresh in there. So in my head it was 1 of 2 things. They fixed they a/c over night or they were just being stingy with their a/c. Either way I am upset and will never go again.

Came back after having amazing food a few weeks ago. Noticed it was under new ownership, but decided to give it a shot. The plate I ordered was incredibly disgusting, I took 1 bite and threw the rest out. My husband's plate was completely flavorless, and did the same. NEVER coming back here. Frustrating to say the least. Their "fresh" food, is freaking terrible. Praying we all don't get sick.

Woest service I have ever had . Ordered food at the counter and the lady said that I could pay after I had eaten the food . Check arrives after I had just started eating . The counter person / waitress then starts harassing me to pay . Then I sign the check before I had finished eating and the lady picks up the receipt and asks me for the tip , I point out that there is no option to leave a tip on the receipt . I leave her cash and walk out . Obviously they are running some kind of tax scam . Worst service and mediocre food .

Asked for no carrots but found multiple. I confirm with her many times and still got carrots. Called hoping they’d fix it, they made me a new plate and it looked NOTHING LIKE THE FIRST PLATE. The first red flag should’ve been that it’s a Chinese restaurant with NO MUSHROOMS. Bruh lesson learned. Will never recommend this place.

Accidentally ordered from here instead of the one in Mission Valley. (Yes I know my mistake-but to be fair it was in smaller print on the website). I called to cancel and got asked why I would order there if I didn’t want it there. I explained it was a mistake and was promptly told I couldn’t cancel and that I had to come up and get it. When I said I couldn’t they yelled at me. I ordered 2 egg foo young orders, pot stickers, chow mein, and wonton soup. I was told (angrily I might add) they could not resell the egg foo young so they couldn’t cancel any of the order and I HAD to come and get it because they made it. I told them I will not and hung up because driving up there isn’t an option. I understand not being able to cancel the egg foo young (cost of lesson learned) but not the rest of the order. VERY poor customer service. Don’t call unless you want to be yelled at, especially if you have an issue.
