A neighborhood Chinese spot praised for fresh, flavorful dishes and fast, reasonably priced takeout. The owner is personable and flexible with custom orders, allergies, and kid requests, and regulars rave about a wide-ranging menu from dumplings to lo mein. Caveats include confusing payment signage, recurring billing errors that favor the restaurant, occasional inconsistency in vegetarian/vegan knowledge, and limited parking. Overall a convenient, family-friendly favorite for quick, tasty meals if you confirm payment and billing details.

This wasn't my favorite General Tso's chicken; it tasted more like orange chicken instead. However, the shrimp egg rolls, steamed dumplings, and crab wontons were quite delicious. While I won’t be returning for the chicken, I might come back for the other dishes.
The food is excellent, but the service has declined for regular pick-up customers because of the focus on delivery orders from services like DoorDash.
The owner is beyond sweet and accommodating. The food is fresh and flavors are on point across the board. Very rarely do you walk into a restaurant locally and get much control over how your food is prepared. Problems with spice? No problem. Have an allergy of some kind? They will try to work with you, instead of against you. Vegetarian options: I picked clearly labeled, but there 's more nuisance to it. For example If i was a vegetarian, i would probably safely assume the spring veggie roll and or lo mein, rice etc. etc. was vegetarian safe. Albeit if i was a vegan sometimes eggs are used in egg rolls so it depends on what you 're picking for yourself . I 'm unsure of how much they may or may not know about dietary restrictions. They may have an idea based off another customers order but perhaps not. If you know though, they will probably accommodate your request to add or subtract an ingredient/s. Dietary restrictions: There is no guarantee THEY will know what they can serve you, but it doesn 't hurt to ask them to substitute an ingredient if you are aware its used. They will substitute or remove it if they can, as per my experience. Kid-friendliness: Very respectful and accommodating to children.
This restaurant has some of the friendliest employees you’ll ever meet, and the food is amazing. I would rate it a perfect 10 out of 10!
I've been to many, many Chinese food places all over the country. China Dragon has been among my favorites. Just about everything I've had there has been a smash hit: Lo Mein, Singapore noodles, Sesame, General Tsos, Orange, Kung Pao, Mu Shu, Moo Goo Gai Pan. Enthusiastically recommend.
