What our customers say
Reviews
For over 10 years I've been a customer here, and for over 10 years I've had my expectations exceeded. I've been here to eat in, ordered to take out and have had it delivered. If I could give 6 stars I would. Best Chinese!!
Jade Martin
Ordering online was easy. My food was piping hot and I was amazed on how much food I got. I had gotten Sesame chicken not spicy - very good. Perfectly cooked, sauce amazing and just as I asked. My new Chinese spot.
Gracie Nielsen
Wonderful gem of a restaurant! Had the Dinner for 2 and could not believe how good everything was. The appetizers that came with it were fantastic, and you chose whatever main dishes you want. New favorite place!
Mark Walter
I love Dragon House, the staffs are always friendly. I order out once a month and they personally deliver and are so friendly. The food is great. The place is very delightful with the table cloths. But laid back and casual.
Cindy Coenen
Moved here about a year ago and this is the best place for mei fun, I order the combo mei fun. Staff is always friendly and always deliver before the expected time. My son loves the sesame chicken. You get so much food!
