Wife picked this one and she did very well. You ever heard don't judge a book by its cover. This is it. I'll be honest as I drove by to park the vehicle I really did not know what to expect. Walking up, the suited host opens the door and I knew by the aroma I was in good spot. The decor was amazing. Sit down and I have to say the portions were perfect. I had the tenderloin and strip steak. The meat was seasoned and prepared perfectly. Lucky Buddha beer if I can give you a little hint to wash dinner down as you go. Fired up the grill and went to work on this amazing food. Very satisfied with the service and the entire experience. Walking to the restroom I saw they were ranked as a top restaurant in the state and country. I know why now.
I've driven past this place several times . Now I have stopped in, and WOW, what a great surprise. Armando was our waiter and patiently took us through the menu . Everything was delicious . The atmosphere was great and we will be back with more of our friends .
Place is a hole in the wall! Recommend checking this place out! Place is beautifully set up, food is delicious, drinks are good! Staff is super friendly! Short rib melts off the bone, Bao buns are delicious, nigori sake is chilled and on point.
Let’s start by saying: best dumplings in the entire world! One of the managers took care of us and angered in a very nice conversation. Cocktails are amazing. Food was delicious! I had high expectations for this place and they lived up to them. This is gonna be a regular spot for me!
Love drunken dragon! The food is impeccably made. I always come here for late night happy hour because the drinks are absolutely delicious and the ambience of the restaurant is just what you’re looking for around that time of night. Definitely recommend trying at least once after that you’ll be hooked!
One of our favorite Korean BBQ spots! It’s nice and cozy with great service. Make sure to book a reservation, they use OpenTable! If you want a BBQ table just give them a call and they can note it on your reservation. Also the cocktails are great!
A total hidden jewel of Miami Ambiance is super nice, chill, good music and the decor is really cool. From the outside it seems that it is a normal place, but once you enter its a totally different story The food is amazing as well. Specially the short rib on the grill and the pork belly baos. The bi bim bap is ok- ask for the sweet soy sauce to enhance the flavor. Service is also amazing. Great, great place
Everything we ordered was amazing!! We shared the pork belly, short ribs, shishito peppers, banchan, and the oxtail stone pot rice. Amazing ambiance and food came out quickly.
Incredible Korean in Miami. Everything we had here including cocktails was excellent. The tuna tataki pizza had super fresh tuna and a great mix of toppings, the chicken wings are fried to perfection with great dipping sauces. The oxtail stone pot rice mixed up table-side was delicious. My favorite thing was the BFR or the big friggin rib a slow cooked short rib with bao buns and lettuce wraps. Great bread pudding and donuts and awesome cocktails. Our server made great recommendations and was super friendly and fun. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone going to Miami.
Much needed date night. Hubby said he wanted to try it out I said let’s go! We arrived and found a parking spot right out front. Looks are deceiving from the outside because it looks like a hole in the wall. The hostess asked if he had reservations we said no. We requested to sit at one the bbq tables she said there was a wait and asked if we wanted to wait at the bar. We went to the bar and ordered a round of drinks and began to look at the menu. Within 10 minutes our table was ready. Our waiter Ryan was knowledgeable and provided excellent service. We ordered the edamame, pork belly gyoza, Shanghai fried rice, tenderloin, shrimp, and pork belly to cook ourselves. Finished it off with sharing the Amsterdam dessert. Can’t wait to return!
This is a hidden gem. From the outside it looks like a hole in the wall, but on the inside is an amazing and beautiful locale. We went during happy hour and we were able to take advantage of most of the menu at a discounted price (5-7pm). We had edamame, gojujang chicken wings, shrimp gyoza, wagyu beef gyoza, Korean cheese dog, Drunken Dragon fries, short ribs, and a Seoul surfer cocktail. Will definitely be back for more amazing food and drinks.
This place is delicious!!! There's regular table service with dishes and there's the grill tables. We sat at the grill because we wanted the experience. If you're worried about undercooking don't be. The waiter tells you how to cook everything and where to place it on the grill. It also comes with sauces to dip in and try. This place is really a hidden gem and had a classy interior. Definitely great to stop in after walking around South Beach.
A Korean Inspired place so banchan not included!! Very impressive drinks menu, I really enjoyed the cocktail I got. Our waitress explained the portion sizes for the barbeque meats very clearly so we ordered just the perfect amount. Excellent cuts and great ambience.
First time coming to Drunken Dragon.. my experience was nothing short of amazing! We had the pleasure of having Dee as our server, and what a pleasant experience it was. Not only did she make our dining experience an exceptional one, but she had all the perfect recommendations. 10/10 ask for Dee. We will surely be back!
Tight parking lot aside, there's many paid parking spots within easy walking distance. The staff was very attentive and our server Tyler was very knowledgeable and he helped us to choose items around our table's shellfish allergy. The food was really good, very flavorful and yummy. Service was quick, really quick. We star weren't expecting it. Overall it was a enjoyable experience
It is our family tradition to have Korean BBQ for Christmas dinner. This is our first Christmas in Miami from NYC and took a chance going to DD. This restaurant doesn’t look like much on the outside but transports you to another place once inside. Ambiance is sophisticated and sexy without being tacky. Music ranged from 80s, 90s hip hop, r&b, a little Elton John. White, black, young, old - it was a party and such a nice way to celebrate Christmas. Food was tasty and we made it for happy hour which was a great deal. I highly recommend!
I love me a great happy hour and Drunken Dragon's menu is a deal!! This place looks sketch on the outside, but step inside and you would never guess this little hidden gem is situated in a strip-mall, the interior is gorgeous! I'm always greeted with wonderful service, Betti behind the bar is the best!
My boyfriend and I walked in without a reservation and Andy at the desk was AMAZING and SO accommodating! He sat us at the bar(and had Johnathan as a bartender who was also amazing) while we waited for a table with a grill and he was able to get us in within 20 minutes even though they were slammed. The food was phenomenal and fresh, we got brussels. bulgogi, spare ribs, and vegetables and it was all super yummy! We got sake and special birthday shots as well. Everyone was so sweet and the service was incredible! Atmosphere is also great, very warm and woodsy with an Asian flair.
Wow talk about hidden gem. I was told to come try this restaurant by a “local”. Safe to say it blew my expectations out of the water. I tried an enormous amount of food. Everything was exceptional. I can’t wait to come back Our server was great.. Armando kept us well hydrated The bathrooms were clean Drinks were good Saki was well priced
Wow!!! I went to this restaurant for the first time a week ago and I was totally blown away with the food as well as the service. In fact, I had such a nice time that I returned a few days later, despite the fact that I live over 55 miles north!!! The first visit was with a group of friends so we sat at a BBQ table and ordered tapas style. Our server, Alec, was very friendly and made great suggestions. The overall price wasn't as high as I had expected for South Beach... And since we shared several items, we got to experience a good deal of what they had on the menu. I especially loved the Shanghai rice and the crushed cucumber dish. Even the dessert was next level!!! I returned a few days later to try the late night happy hour and was equally impressed. This time, I sat at the bar and ordered from Marlon. He made amazing cocktails and was super sweet. All around it was a lovely experience and I will 100% return!!!
Pros: - Fantastic atmosphere, full of provocative art, energetic music, mood-matching lights, and other great classy items - excellent customer service from the entire waiting staff - absolutely delicious food Cons: - It is not far from inexpensive, as you can be satisfied if you spend $50... But you're going to spend much more - atmosphere maybe too dark for some particular preferences - parking will become a concern especially with large parties, and most likely you will have to pay for it for any unlikely spots nearby, even on slow days Verdict: * I HIGHLY recommend this excellent Korean restaurant in South Beach! A comfortable dining experience unlike any other I've ever had... Just plan for parking in advance, rideshare if you can, and don't expect typical chain restaurant prices for the great quality you'll be getting
Great service and food. It was a wonderful time with friends, and there were 13 of us. We tried the entire menu, you can not go wrong, everything is delicious. The cocktails were fabulous.
First time having korean bbq and it won't be my last. Loved the food at this restaurant. The kimchi noddles was my favorite and they had the most succulent beef. The bathroom is very classy and clean and the staff is respectful. On entry into the restaurant it looked like it wont be much, but once you are inside the restaurant its very chic and sexy. Only thing is it's a bit small, so make a reservation before showing up.
This restaurant surprised me! When we pulled up I thought it was a bad joke my son tried to pull on me. Inam pretty adventurous so I figured. What the hell I'll try it anyways. Long story super short... this restaurant was phenomenal! The service alone was 5 stars! The food was flavorful and the ambiance was perfect to my liking. This was the perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover😉
By far the best Korean BBQ in Miami, the only in South Beach. Location is sort of hidden in a secret spot in the middle of a small strip mall with only a "Market" sign on the outside, maybe this is intentional to add to the allure. Once inside, the decor is nice and relaxing, lots of wood and dark tones. The food is just simply amazing. As a group of three we ordered and shared the Popcorn, Peking Bao $14, Lobster Roll $18, Tuna Tataki Pizza $18, Shanghai Rice $8, D&D Fried Rice $12, and Pork Shoulder $33 - you cant go wrong with any of these, for desert, the Choco-Jar $6. The service was spot on, attentive, informative, suggestive, and not annoying or lingering around the table. Can't wait to return.
Hidden gem - looks so unassuming from outside but it's a gorgeous restaurant inside with a great bar program and fantastic food! We went for happy hour and were v happy with the quality of the food and range of items. We had twice fried chicken, fried bok choy, Korean fries, dumplings etc. Fantastic!
A nice place in Miami to dine, a bit undercover and good crowd, food is great and drinks too. I’ve been a few time and believe it’s pretty cool that it’s almost like a speak easy restaurant and brings something cool and vibie. Will be back for sure for the hot dogs and the fried chicken! Superb!
Hands down one of the best places I've been to eat in Miami or anywhere for that matter. If you are a foodie and like Asia style food (this place is Korean BBQ), this is the place to go. Everything I had was phenomenal from the Lobster Rolls, Octopus, Crack Spare ribs, Waygu gyoza to the Pork Belly and Tender Loin. The plate sizes are smaller so don't expect to order one or 2 things and be full (unless you're ordering the Ramen or other rice/noodle bowls). As far as price, this is definitely not a cheap place but not the most expensive either. Highly recommend Drunken Dragon.
Me and a few friends were really in the mood for a Korean BBQ joint and the Drunken Dragon did not disappoint. It was a fantastic meal. Here are some of the menu items I would recommend! Lobster Rolls Tuna Tataki Pizza Wagyu Beef Gyoza Twice Fried Fried Chicken Big F*ing Rib (BFR) You cannot go wrong with any of the grill items as well. Can’t wait to go back!
We celebrate our anniversary here. The staff, the food, the atmosphere, everything was so perfect. The food is delicious with the perfect bbq taste. The drinks are also so good. At first we thought that it wasn't the place, because is totally different from the outside, but is like an Alice in wonderland thing lol. Definitely a must try place, we'll be back for sure!
So so happy! Drunken Dragon hosted my 31st birthday. They were super accommodating, completely on-top of service, and fun to work with. We were able to customize a cocktail, decorate, and have plenty of space to move around and mingle. I’ve been here other days and have always been happy with the service. I and my party goers were beyond impressed and satisfied with the experience. So thankful!
I love the food here and the happy hour is everything. Some of my favorite items are the bulgur stir fry and the shrimp gyoza. I've had the tuna tataki but on the brioche the lobster is served on and I wish it was on the menu like that. Kevin is an awesome bartender ans Ryan, the GM, is so friendly ans approachable. Next time, I'm coming for the Ramen but that's only served Sun-Tues.
Update: the restaurant let me down on my 2nd visit. The pot of rice was basically just white rice with undercooked snow peas and an egg that barely added to the dish. Some of the dishes, like the brussel sprouts, were overseasoned to the point where it took away from the actual veggies. The churrasco was still good. 2017: The ambiance, service, and food all get 5 stars. Highly recommend the duck bao buns and the churrasco steak. The korean bbq chicken surprised me because it was so juicy and tasty, you didn't even need to dip it in the side sauce. The place is pretty pricey, I would give it 3 dollar signs instead of the 2 it currently has. Only con: the espresso tasted like it was made with a machine that hadnt been cleaned in months. So gross.
This place makes for a fabulous date night! You wouldn't be able to tell what a gem this restaurant is unless you step inside and try the food. My boyfriend and I had Korean bbq with the sirloin and skirt steak. We also got to try the d&d rice and man was that flavorful! But my favorite is definitely the crispy bok choy! The cocktails are delicious and Kevin the bartender is also great! Lovely experience and highly recommend.

Didi rice Misso Domplin pork Alguno de los platos
Uno de los mejores restaurantes en los que he comido en Miami. Diseño del lugar muy cuidado, desde fuera no te puedes imaginar lo que vas a encontrar dentro. Arquitectura y diseño de interior. Excelente servicio, los camareros están muy atentos de los comensales sin ser invasivos. Muy buen ambiente de gente. La presentación de la comida es estupenda y está todo riquísimo. Un poco caro, pero merece la pena. Altamente recomendable!
Food tasted delicious but be prepared to spend 22 on one chicken breast. We had a variety of the meats you grill, chicken, shrimp, tenderloin and skirt steak. We also got bulgogi and bao buns and pork belly from the cook side. Everything was very delicious. Some of our order came out wrong, the server got confused. The bar was behind on drinks because they only had one server. We were never checked on by our server we had to summon one each time, but there were people around clearing stuff. I feel like maybe they were understaffed tonight. The servers themselves were super pleasant. Fries have a curry salt. A sweet savory. They were able to seat the six of us. Back to the meats. They don't give you meat scissors, the meats come out cut. But they weren't cut well for eating right off the grill or cooking in equal sizing, that could have been a bit better. The music was a smidge to loud for me but I like a quieter dining experience.
Great atmosphere, and you wouldn't guess it from the blacked out window on the outside. The food was very good. They have a bit limited selection of grill meats, but the quality was good. I recommend the skirt steak and the sausages. The Cesar salad was very good and is definitely recommended, if you like roasted Brussels sprouts.
The outside of the venue is a bit deceiving, the signage looked like something out of old time diners but once we got inside we were impressive with the look of the place. A nice low light setting with the expected Korean touches. The food was slightly more expensive than we were expecting but the cuts of meat and overall selection were worth it. The one area we had some issue with was the young lady serving us. We received more friendly help and service from the waiter from the table next to us. Either way I think she was either new or having a bad night. Regardless I'd recommend the venue and would visit again.
So the food was amazing, very well marinated and tastes great. It's always a fun time to cook your own meal. Service was on point, they were quick and constantly checked if you needed anything. Couple issues though, I've been to many Korean BBQ joints and this one is by far the smallest portions I've ever seen and the price does not reflect the size of the portions. Secondly, the ambiance is great, but the music was so loud it was almost impossible to talk to your server, hardly able to talk to someone right next to you. Overall great food, decent place, but overpriced.
The food was solid, but you’re definitely paying for the overall experience at this place. The service and the atmosphere (music, décor, chill party vibe) were fantastic. Recommend going for a fun night out and/or celebration.
Our server wasn't that great, she was stand offish and just felt like pulling teeth to get her to communicate. The owner or manager not sure who he was, was very informative and interactive which made us stay. He sold the food and gave great new things to try! Food was great. That fried rice is really good.
Trendy Korean BBQ and Asian fusion Restaurant, offering a variety menu with Korean classics and also their own style plate options, nice ambience with loud music, tasty food, exceptional service and good prices, definitely a must visit for a unique exotic oriental experience in Miami South Beach.
Be sure to ask for a happy hour menu if you get there between 5 and 7 because it isn't offered. Food was great, drinks were great, but portions are "tapas" size and prices are kinda steep for the size, but quality is high so it evens out. Would go again, especially for the duck Condit meat board that comes with bao buns, pickles and sauces.
I will start off with what I like about this place first. It was cool to be able to grill your own meat. The fried rice was very good. Berkshire Sausages were delicious. Breadpudding is a must-try, so yummy. Now let's talk about what I do not like. Fried chicken was very tough and soggy. I do not recommend it at all. Though the sauce that came with it was very good. Mango with Sticky rice is ridiculous - very small portion compared to the price you pay for and it was uncessarily super sweet. The bao buns were okay, but they charge $18 for two bao buns. Meat selections for the grill were all very small portions and very expensive. I paid more at this restaurant than I paid for food at a michelin star restaurant. I would not return, unfortunately.
Drunken Dragon offers a captivating fusion of Asian flavors with the choice of Korean BBQ, highlighting fresh and delightful meats. The complimentary sides, especially the kimchi romaine lettuce and cucumber, stood out among the 2 out of 4 offered. The cocktails showcased skilled craftsmanship, yet the ramen lacked the desired broth richness. While appealing to newcomers or occasional visitors to authentic Asian cuisine, certain aspects of the dining experience could be enhanced. Service was commendable, though slightly slow, and the interior boasts beauty, but the exterior might benefit from a designer's touch, as I nearly missed entering the restaurant since entrance didn’t look appealing.
We came for happy hour and enjoyed the food, service was good even though a few of the menu items didn’t taste the best, the value was there for sure. I was a little disappointed by the wagyu beef buns but the service was fast and friendly. The aesthetic of the interior is nice and cozy, which you may not expect from the look of the front of the restaurant, so don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
I would really like someone to come to Miami and open a decent Korean restaurant for everyday occasions (there’s a Cote). I tried Drunken Dragon in Miami Beach supposedly was Korean but it wasn’t. The twice fried chicken was good but the stone pot rice was terrible. $58 total. Service was great. Just don’t expect it to be Korean food. The kitchen doesn’t know what Korean food is.
I would describe this restaurant as a place that offers more of mixed Asian cuisine than Korean restaurant. Found more non Korean dishes on the menu than anything else. We ordered bul go gi. Chicken & short rib bbq which was the closet think to Korean bbq and 2 bowls of Stone pot mixed rice. Vibe is trendy but, it's so loud that you can't hear the conversation well.
Por fuera el lugar parece bastante turbio, admito dude en entrar. Pero por dentro es muy lindo, con una mezcla importante de decoraciones. La comida es muy cara en relación calidad/cantidad. Son pequeñas las porciones. La copa de vino viene en un vaso para tomar agua (para los amantes del vino es crucial una copa correcta). La hostess muy educada y atenta. El server Ian ok, sólo le faltaba sonreír. Nos retiraron el plato y no había terminado de comer. Cuando dijimos que no queríamos postre directamente nos trajo la cuenta sin nosotros haberla pedido y sin haber finalizado las copas de vino. Sentí que estaban pidiendo que me vaya "de manera gentil". La pasé bien por que tenía buena compañía, pero por no volvería a ir, ya que el precio/calidad no me parecieron acordes.
The positives, the environment is very unique and enjoyable. The food was extremely tasty but be aware that it is not traditional Korean BBQ but tapas. Unfortunately, the service was very lacking in friendliness and communication. It really felt like the staff was in very poor spirits. It really felt like we were an inconvenience to them. Vibes not good.
I had high expectations that were quickly let down. I had a poke bowl with salmon, and finished the salmon in 3 bites. It was a bowl with 70% rice 15% seaweed and 8% tiny chopped up fish with a few small greens. The sauce was good, but for $22, it is the least food for the highest price I have gotten in South Beach. The skirt steak was also a tiny portion, about half or 1/3 of what you would expect and I rate it a 4 out of 10 in taste and flavor. All of the dishes are small, but I was surprised to find how they were extra extra small on the meat or fish portions for the price. If the flavor was amazing, I could have left a 4 out of 5. But the poor taste takes away 2 stars and the portions for the price take away another star. The dragon was defintely drunk when he came up with the flavor, portion, and price of these dishes. I don't know if I will ever make it back to this one.
Good atmosphere, but our server, Miona, forgot to put in the food order for one of the people in our party of 4 and did not apologize or admit to it. After serving everyone our apps and entrees she asked if everyone had gotten everything. I then let her know I was missing my entree (the crispy chicken). She immediately snaps back that the chicken normally takes a long time and leaves. Chicken… A long time to cook? 30 minutes later, after everyone else had finished eating and had their empty plates taken, the entree arrives and isn’t crispy at all- extremely disappointing. If she had been honest about forgetting to put in the order, it would have been no big deal! To make matters worse, she avoided our table like the plague after the incident. And then of course an 18% service charge is added, for a party of 4.. Overall, we won’t be back - food was disappointing and extremely overpriced for the quality and taste, atmosphere was nice, service was obviously less than nice.
Not a great place. Highly overpriced and doesn't live up to the food. We had such a high expectations and lady who served us had no clue what she was doing and her attitude was so upsetting for mood. It was our first time there and asked for the recommendation, like I said, the lady with glasses have no idea what she was doing. Also we ordered the side of white rice. I couldn't post the picture here but if I post all of you will be surprised. It was over the bowl and I can't even put spoon or chopstick there. Moment I had put spoon, all the mountains of rice would crumble on the table. I didn't even touched it. Such a disappointment
On multiple occasions, I had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful place with an unlimited budget, as I absolutely adored its concept. This time, I was excited to introduce the restaurant to my dear friend, a disabled survivor of the 9/11 tragedy, who had bravely entered a burning building to rescue people. Accompanied by my family and my friend's service dog, a charming pocket beagle, we entered the restaurant with high spirits. However, to our shock, we were promptly asked to leave the premises. Despite explaining that my friend had a disability and required the assistance of the service dog, we were still escorted out. The blatant discrimination towards my friend left me deeply saddened and disheartened. We didn't take this injustice lightly, and we immediately contacted the police to report the incident. We are determined to press charges against the establishment for their discriminatory actions. It's essential for everyone to be aware of such discrimination, and we hope this situation can be resolved appropriately. No alternative solution was offered to us, and we were shown the door without any consideration or empathy. It's truly a shame that such discrimination still exists in our society.
Everything about this place is Horrible…First off, there was a guy and a girl on the front desk and accept reservations, they do the cleaning, management, literally everything in the restaurant so we had to wait 30 additional minutes for our table. You need to pay everything from the menu which the cheapest thing is $20. We ordered shrimp tempura, rib eye, chicken, noodle, sushi, everything was horrible that my friend threw up afterwards. Only the rib eye was good. Lastly, we had to pay $150, $75 per person, and this dinner wasn’t even worth for $20. I wish I could give this place 0 star, please don’t waste your time and money there! One of the worst places I’ve been lately
So this place highly disappointing. My Husband took our Daughter because she was in the mood of trying something new and different only to find herself paying $60 by conveniently adding a eat in fee after they made clear it was for take out. They fixed after it was brought to their attention. However the main thing that needed to be good smelled like old beef. IT reeked garbage. She couldn’t eat it and rest assure we will be taking it back. I understand with the pandemic how this meat made it this far but it’s no excuse really compromising the integrity of the restaurant. Update: They went to the restaurant to get a refund for the food and they said that they wouldn’t give a refund. The only options that they had was for them to remake the same dish. My daughter was not to thrilled at the option because she was already left with the bad impression of the food she had already purchased. She was willing to have something different as a way to comply with the fact that they wouldn’t refund the money. Then they proceeded by saying that they tried to be nice. When you work in hospitality your job is not to “TRY TO BE NICE” Sad way to offend potential repeated Business.
So, normally I’d not put a bad review or at least will give a 3-4 stars but in this case I’d need to stop going there even though I live 5 min walking distance just because of the way they treat people. First, apparently it doesn’t matter if you made a reservation or not, they make you wait for over an hour. Two, the prices are way too expensive for this place considering they charge for a drink about $20-25 and it’s so little on alcohol that you would need to just have a shot on the side. Three, the staff: one of the managers (or maybe owners) is so not friendly that just because of her I’d not return to that place. This place doesn’t appreciate locals like others do land that’s upsetting. We go some restaurants on Española way and always get 10-20% discount because we live here and go there all the time BUT Drunken dragon obviously won’t do it. Food is good but the rest is just one star.
Horrible. Overpriced. What is this thing? Awful. Should not exist. So many things wrong. From the first minute I arrived, no service, had to ask to please order food at one of the bar tables. Had the $36 oxtail rice dish. Rice was mushy, hard to do for a dish that is meant to be crisped with the hot bowl itself. The dish had snow peas and hardly any other vegetable. Nothing about this was asian. Barely any oxtail. Embarrassing. Ordered a side of spinach, which is usually done cold in real Korean style. Came hot, mushy, flavorless. Whatever this was, it was horrible. Not worth the money. I could make insta-ramen that tasted better than this.
Please do not go here if your desire is to eat good Korean BBQ. It is generally very hard for me to say that restaurant food is bad, but the food here is TERRIBLE. First of all, our meals came within a matter of minutes, which normally would be a great thing, but not if it's at the same pace as a fast food chain. It felt like if they just re-heated previously made food. We ordered the Ramen with Wagyu (which is definitely the furthest thing from that, not sure why they claim its Wagyu), steamed Gyozas, and the Bok Choy. All 3 had terrible flavors all around. The Ramen broth was so bland it tasted like bad water, "wagyu" was garbage. Bok Choy was just overall terrible and the Gyoza's had this sesame seed sauce that had a terrible after taste and the meat inside was nothing special. Overall, the asthetic of the place is nice, service was not terrible, but at the end of the day, it's a restaurant and we go there for good food and Drunken Dragon is just not serving good food at all. Hope this helps! P.S. I apologize for the blurry picture of the Ramen, the other food came out so fast that I didn't even focus on the picture lol.
