Pretty good place for Chinese food! We got takeout on a Friday night and didn’t have to wait long. The orange tofu was flavorful and the portions were quite sizable for the money. The crab rangoon and Szechuan chicken were great too! We didn’t like the vegetable egg rolls though, they had a strange peanut flavor and didn’t taste very fresh.

Ordered for takeout and had a great meal! The orange chicken seemed to have fresh squeezed orange on top which was pretty refreshing and the the shrimp fried rice was also really good. I loved the egg rolls but was not a fan of the crab rangoon honestly. Overall a solid takeout option.

I have ordered from China Dragon on several occasions but last night was my LAST time ordering. I called my order in and picked it up on Friday, June 2, 2023, at 8:38 PM. I’m writing this review to WARN anyone who is getting ready to order from this establishment: DON’T! I ordered Jumbo Shrimp Fried Rice and added vegetables as they NEVER put vegetables in their Shrimp Fried Rice. I was charged for extra veggies which is fine, HOWEVER, the implication that there is a $3 charge for “extra vegetables” is misleading because there are no vegetables in this dish to begin with. Next, they are pretty closed fist about giving you extra soy sauce. They rudely tell you that there’s soy sauce in the bag. And when you ask for extra, they only give you one. But here is the straw that broke the camel’s back. I get home and begin eating my food. I take one bite, open my soy sauce and pour it over my food, stir, and then go in for another bite only to find RAT DROPPINGS IN MY FOOD!!!!! It was COOKED IN MY FOOD! I know what food looks like as I am a cook. I know what bits and scrapings from deglazing a pan look like. I know what burnt seasoning looks AND smells like. And THIS wasn’t THAT! I put it into the plastic bag my food came in, and I literally smeared it and smelled to be sure. It smelled like FECES!!!!!! I was utterly disgusted! I immediately closed the lid to my food and placed it back in the bag it came in. I called and notified China Dragon that there was rat feces in my food. The woman on the phone asked me for a picture and she said she would talk to the cook. She then tries to tell me that it’s soy sauce and that it gets stuck to the pan. I politely told her that that was not soy sauce. It wasn’t rice nor was it vegetables. It was rat droppings! She gave me the refund and sent a picture of the voided transaction. One thing I know about Chinese establishments, they are NOT refunding you any money! So for her to willingly refund me, she KNEW they had rats! I will say this again, do NOT eat from this establishment. I have provided photos of my food, the rat dropping, and the receipt below. First thing Monday morning I am reporting them to the Department Of Public Heath!

This used to be my go-to Chinese takeout, but now it’s under new management. Higher prices and the recipes are different/worse. I’ve been ordering the teriyaki chicken sticks and fried rice from here semi frequently for about 3 years now and it was incredible. However they have completely changed the chicken teriyaki stick recipe and the fried rice recipe – the fried rice is okay at best and the chicken sticks are bad. The prices on everything has also gone up significantly. I asked why and apparently they are under new management. I won’t be coming back for more expensive food that tastes worse.

We order from this place regularly because it’s near my home. The food is ok! what I noticed this time was that, they charge their own tip!! I gave the driver cash but in my bank account was another tip! That I did NOT give!! This is the first time I checked!! But I’m sure is not the first time they did it!!!! I will never trust this place with my credit card again!!!! You shouldn’t either!!

When I’m in the area I enjoy stopping by China Dragon for a quick bite to eat. I ordered fried rice with sesame chicken and soup. Everything came out in a reasonable amount of time and was hot & fresh. The sauce in my sesame chicken entree was especially tasty with the rice. My server was very nice and attentive and even the restrooms were clean. I’m sure I’ll be back when nearby.

Bad Bad service. They delivered our food 45 minutes late with no explanation. Food was cold. Never again will I buy food here. Go somewhere else. Don’t waste your hard earn money on business that don’t care about the customer.

Mid food. I’m pregnant when I asked to use the bathroom they abruptly said “nope! No public restroom.” I was like “I understand but I’m pregnant. I can’t hold it in.” They insisted they would not allow me to use the bathroom. I ended up peeing my pants on the way home.
