BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK Been going here for years, since highschool on a bike up until now living in Mira mesa; I still go here for the service and the absolutely crazy big portions you get for how little you pay! Owner remembers me to this day and food is just as good as it was years ago. Wontons are always a must cuz they’re super light and crispy!! Drinks are p big too

Some of the best Chinese food you can have. Service is amazing. Food is phenomenal. Always cooked to perfection! Meat is tender and juicy while crispy on the outside. Noodles are great. Love the jalapeño chicken, definitely has a kick to it. Food is always hot and fresh, can't go wrong here.

It’s been years since the last time I’ve been (I moved out of the country) and I am still thinking about this place. The best Chinese food of all time. My boy and I used to come here at least once a week and never once did they let me down. Legendary borderline spiritual experience eating their food. They are light on the prices and heavy on the food. One day I’ll be back.

Really liked this place! It is pretty affordable as far as things go these days, but you get really large portion sizes. I ordered the combo B and it came with lots of chow mein, veggies, and meats. It all tasted pretty good too 😋 would recommend 👍

Great food - try the BBQ pork! Fantastic. Yes, it's in a strip mall, but no worries. (The best Chinese food in Boulder, CO is in one too.) Super friendly staff; immaculately clean, and more good food for the buck than you ever thought. Just go. You'll be glad you did!

First time here, friendly welcoming by staff. I told them it was my first time coming here and they were very helpful and explained the menu options. The food has a great taste! And they over fill your plate it can barely close lol!!

Imagine Panda Express but it’s a third the price and ten times the authenticity. Plus they aren’t shy about filling your plate to overflowing. That’s Dragon Express for ya. Highly recommend! Edit: January 2020 and this place is still amazing!!

Always great food for a decent price and I love the staff too! This is the green beans with pork and onions; coconut shrimp and fried rice.

Food is fresh even at 3pm. Friendly servers, not salty like most Chinese Restaurants are. Totally recommend this place. Price is good and lots of food for the price.

Food was inexpensive, and the service was quick, efficient, and friendly. If you are looking for a place similar to a Panda Express, i.e. similar offerings and taste, however with a better price point, you have now found it.

The orange chicken and broccoli beef smacked but teriyaki, noodles, and spring rolls were lacking. Great portions but some of their stuff is missing flavor.

Jessica Santiago

The food looked good but when time came to eat it had no flavor whatsoever. I was excited to try new place but honestly wouldn’t come back especially for the price paid.

Liked the other food BUT the noodles had an awful odor, similar to a smell where you open a can and has the metal smell. The noodles tasted like metal, no wonder they give you so much of it. I think, just my opinion, the noodle comes in bags of plastic and it sits in the sun for a long while that the noodles get the taste from the bag sitting there for a while

Horrible food, horrible service, shrimp still has the shell and legs, refused to replace the item or give a refund. I asked her how she expects people to eat the shrimp when it still has legs and a shell and she had nothing to say other than eat it however you want.
