The people who work here are very nice and friendly. The food is super tasty and you can't beat the price of the combo plates. Cheaper than panda, and you get about twice as much food and it's authentic. I got the combo plate #2 with garlic fried chicken. Would definitely recommend this spot!! Going inside here feels like going in a Time Machine but in a good way!! I am so glad I found this spot!!

Indeed a jewel of a restaurant tucked away in the south corner of the shopping mall. Definitely a business worth seeking out. The service is top notch and the food is delicious while being healthy. This restaurant serves a lot of freshly made food for a wonderful price. Your food is made to order. My order of garlic chicken is superb, while my chow mein and fried rice wad delicious and not a hint of being greasy.I will keep them in mind in the future for their catered food services.

I've tried every Chinese restaurant in Lodi, CA. DLC in my opinion is the best. They do get busy so expect a slight delay for dine in and take out. I usually get the #4 to go. I had to take pictures of their menu because the ones on Yelp have been there for years and the restaurant directs their website to Yelp.

Hidden treasure!!! Dragon lite has been around for forever!! And they are absolutely the sweetest people!! You will never be disappointed! At least I never have! I eat there often and alllll their food is amazing!! I highly recommend garlic chicken, Mongolian beef and the honey walmut prawns!!! It's a mom and pop shop which has been around as long as it has because of how great their food is! There use to be many places now there are very few and this is one that has been great the whole time! Fast easy and delicious!!

New spot for us to try out, which was a quick visit after our previous shopping elsewhere. But the owners here are really nice and patient did not feel rushed to place our order. It does say deli meaning that usually they have a small spread that demonstrates a Buffay style, but that was not being utilized the time That I visited. So it was place your order as you arrive but the food was done fairly quickly in about 15 minutes. And the prices seem fairly reasonable just so happen to stumble across this location. There possibly was about two or three of the customers that came in during my initial visit. a good spot to get some food to go from.

Service has gone considerably downhill. Very rude, and dismissive. Was waiting to make an order for our family, and as we were mid order after gaining his attention, we were interrupted by a phone ring, and then ignored as the gentleman used the phone. We ended up walking out, hungry.

I give Dragon Lite Deli 3.5 stars. Overall the food is good, but different than most places that I've been to. I ordered three items for take-out: vegetable chow mein, orange chicken, and mushrooms, bamboo, and snow peas. Chow mein noodles are usually stir fried in a brown sauce, but these noodles appeared to be white, with no evidence of any sauce used. They were still good, but I opted to add soy sauce when eating them. As far as the veggies go, it had broccoli, some bits of carrot, a little celery, and lots of water chestnuts and onions. There were also green bell peppers. I'm not a fan of onions and peppers, and I didn't feel like they complimented this dish, so I picked them out. There really were a lot of onions. I like water chestnuts, but one here and there, not enough to make them the main theme. The orange chicken came with wedges of orange in the box, and a lot of orange sauce. The chicken pieces had a light crispy batter that was still crispy when I got home, and even upon serving up seconds. The sauce was good and orange-y, not muted like other places. But the chicken itself, although it was all white meat, was so dry that I almost felt like it was completely void of moisture, which made for a very strange texture. The veggie dish, "mushrooms, bamboo, and snow peas" is also a dish that is mostly water chestnuts. There's a good amount of mushrooms and snow peas as well, but very little bamboo. It's all served in a light brown sauce, which is a little bland, and could probably use some dressing up with garlic. I'm glad that there were no surprise onions or peppers though. Over all, the food was pretty good, just with something off on all the dishes. But I was curious about this spot since it is so close to my house, and within close proximity to a couple of other Chinese food spots. I also wanted to add something to the Yelp page, which seems largely neglected by patrons and management alike.

I absolutely love Dragon Lite. The food is always fresh and hot. The staff is very friendly and quick with getting orders ready. The prices are great, considering how expensive everything is, these days.

This place has the worst customer service! I called 3 times because they kept disconnecting my call. I asked if they did not want my business and should I order elsewhere. They did not apologize for their rudeness. I would not have ordered there had it not been recommended by family. After we took food back to the hotel, realize they gave us 2 of the same orders but charged us for what I ordered (the more expensive items). Another disappointment. As for the food quality, it was disgusting!! My husband was throwing up at night. The chicken tasted like rotten meat. I will not return to this place and I hope their hygiene gets inspected so no one else gets sick.
