I first had Angry Dragonz from their food truck years ago at Baconfest, where I ordered bacon-wrapped scallops with coleslaw and it was delicious, but not on their regular menu. I believe their Asian slaw is, though.
I'm always hesitant about Asian restaurants that have multiple cuisines because the assumption is that they're more for variety than quality/specialty. That really wasn't the case here. I have yet to go into one of their actual restaurants (they have two now, which I didn't realize), but we ordered delivery the other night and it was pretty good.
I thought they had pork belly bao the last time I checked, which I was excited to try, but I was disappointed not to find it on the menu, so it must've been seasonal unfortunately.
Instead, I got the chicken panang rice bowl and wanted something crispy, so I also got the salt and pepper tofu. Both ended up being gluten-free.
The chicken panang had red Thai curry, coconut milk, peanut sauce, and fresh veggies with rice at the bottom of the container. It was labelled as "hot", but I didn't find it very spicy. The flavour was good, peanuty and fish saucey, which I like, and the vegetables were crisp. I wish they had a little more chicken, but what I had was tender and there was a very generous portion of rice. They really pack it in there!
I thought the Thai sweet chili sauce would come on the side of the salt and pepper tofu, but it was poured on top and not in a closed container, just sort of like a tray with the sauce pooled at the bottom and a couple paper bags on top to close it. I was surprised by the packaging, but didn't mind it, since it kept the tofu crispy. It was very crispy, maybe even deep fried a second too long for some people, but I didn't mind it. There were just a few green onion slices on top for garnish rather than all over, and no sesame seeds like it said on the menu (unless they meant sesame oil, which I didn't really taste so I assume there was none since it's a strong flavour). It wasn't the salt and pepper tofu I expected or was craving like from Chinese restaurants, but it was okay, a good snack and a good portion. I didn't mind the sweet chili, but I would've much preferred it on the side to dip and not have the tofu at the bottom get soggy. This dish is vegetarian and vegan.
My husband thought crispy beef bowl was delicious and very saucy, but not crispy, probably because it was packaged so tightly while hot with no vent holes, plus delivery. It also had some slices of onion and green and red peppers. The description said it had a mild sauce, even though it was labelled as "hot". My husband is a mild man and he didn't find it very spicy, so I think it's safe to say "hot" isn't too hot here.
We both wished the rice was on the side, not for any reason other than personal preference.
My husband also got chicken balls, which I'm not normally a fan of, but they looked super crispy and I decided to try a couple. They weren't overly doughy had a good amount of chicken in them, unlike other places, and it wasn't dry. I don't really like white meat, so it still wasn't my thing, but they were better than I've had elsewhere. The sweet and sour sauce on the side was pretty standard.
We both had an egg roll each, which were the closed kind. They were very crispy, well rolled, and stuffed with pork and cabbage. Great egg rolls! They came with plum sauce, which we don't really eat, but I used a little spicy chili miso sauce I had at home and it was perfect.
We'll definitely order from here again. Maybe some noodles and skewers next time! read more
