Dragon Chinese Restaurant

This place is my go to when I need some Chinese takeout! The lady who works at the counter is always smiling and sweet! Plus, they prepare the food super fast and it's always ready for me right when I arrive to pick it up.The food is quite delicious, and the portions always so generous! The entree of honey walnut shrimps was 3 meals for me, and the general tsao's chicken 2 meals for my boyfriend. The order of fried rice is huge and it was like 6 servings total, that's a bang for your buck!I always order the honey walnut shrimps with no walnuts, general tsao's chicken or orange chicken, and fried rice. Please give them a try and support a local business instead of going to Panda Express!

2 stars is solely to answer the Ole Yelp question.. do I recommend this place? Sorry, no.They have lunch specials, and I just realized (a couple hours after lunch) that we didn't get the soup that is supposed to come with the lunch special. Haha wow.. but their lunch special is one entree and steamed rice or fried rice, or chow mein for $1 more. I ordered their tofu and eggplant. It was very saucy, which i didn't care for. The tofu was soft, and eggplant was cooked fine. There was a slight spice, but not noticeable, so I added some Sriracha.We sat to eat there, which was a pretty clean place, but they still give your food in to-go containers with a flimsy plastic fork not sturdy enough to use for their chunky bell peppers. Water comes in a small paper cup and they sell you soda cans. They don't care to provide you service, but they expect your 15% tip. Although She offered to split our bill separately, we had to serve ourselves extra water from their pitcher, which was located near the kitchen. She didn't ask if we needed anything while we ate. What kind of restaurant are they trying to be now? It appears they used to have dinerware.. Most other Yelpers compare them to Panda Express, and maybe they could be, but they should revamp their restaurant as a takeout only place.It was an honest insight into owning a restaurant in this economy.. but it's the truth of how people want to spend their hard earned money.

Not the experience we were looking for. After we placed our order, We saw the table next to us get everything served in a plastic clamshell container. Everything served in plastic containers and paper cups. Even the soup is served in a plastic drinking cup. It was really small. Nothing served on plates. We politely asked if they served their food on plates like the pictures in the restaurant. They told us everything comes in to go containers.We cancelled our order. Ignore all the pictures on yelp with food on a plate. Ambiance is okay. Very spartan tables. This place is pretty much a to go restaurant.They couldnt even handle our table of two and the other table of 5 and the endless string of to go phone orders with the phone blasting..."Call from..."Maybe the food is good but not the experience we were lookiing for. Is it so difficult to find a good sit down chinese restaurant in Ranch Bernardo and/or Carmel Mtn?

My kids and I stumbled into this restaurant because it's the only place that was open in the morning around the Poway/RB location. I'm originally from Southeast San Diego and been living north of the 8 for a while now and I've finally found the hole in the wall Chinese takeout that is close to the ones found in the hood. This place serves all the classics (anything Panda Express has, this place has) and the prices are reasonable. After we ordered, we noticed the server brought out paper plates and plastic utensils. That was the first sign that we were going to be eating some bomb ass Chinese food. Second sign was she didn't speak great English and messed up our order but made up for it. Overall the food was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. If you are looking for a Chinese takeout that won't break the bank, I highly recommend this place.

Stopped by during the lunch hour and was greeted promptly by the staff. We all know that if the pictures are posted on the wall the food is about to !! I paid $10 for a heaping amount of orange chicken, white rice, and a small egg drop soup. Now the orange chicken is good but it isn't Panda Express orange chicken so don't expect that. The weight of the plate makes it worth it and the soup is flavorful too. I didn't have to wait too long as a walk in order and am overall happy with my purchase and experience. I give it three stars because I'm neutral for now but I would like to come back and try other dishes!

The Salt and pepper chicken wings are a must try and we get an order every time we eat here. I love the portion sizes and know that we can get several meals out of just two dishes (we usually go with the beef and shrimp chow mein). Overall we will enjoy dragon Chinese as much as we can while we're here!

Best wings ever. Always fast and always good. The owners are very friendly. I always order carry out and it is always ready by the time I drive to pick it up. About 9 minutes.

Ordered 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 .Worst rude service and mediocre food .

Good portion size and value. The customer service was wonderful, employee was helpful and really nice. I think I at one point asked for hot sauce, which isn't normally included in take our orders, so that was the only exception. I have no comment about ambiance since I took the food to go, it seems like to-go orders are most of their business.

Best salt & pepper chicken wing everrrrrrThe service was great tooDefinitely with come back
