We ordered carry out for dinner on Easter. We ordered the sesame chicken combination plate with white rice and the cashew chicken combination plate with pork fried rice. The sesame chicken had a good sauce and a few tender broccoli. The chicken was not edible. The chicken was actually just breading with no chicken. I think the restaurant should choose a different brand or supplier for the breaded chicken in this dish. The cashew chicken was actually pretty good. The sauce had a good flavor. The portion was a good size. The pork fried rice was good. The dish had a lot of veggies and tender pieces of chicken. We would come back for the cashew chicken. Also, the egg rolls that come with each combination plate are a standard good pork egg roll. read more

The food is the best Chinese food in the tricounty area. I love going there for lunch and end up taking home enough for dinner. They are quick to serve, the owner is friendly and very helpful! The cooks are wonderful when it comes to seasoning and sauce. I highly recommend and the prices are the best around! read more

Always great food and friendly service. The fruit smoothies are awesome! If you haven't, try it.

Review Visit: April 23rd, 2016 I hope the China Dragon doesn't eat me! Ahhhh! Riding the EP-Morton bike trail, you can pass by a business district in Morton and in the group of buildings resides this delicious dragon. So while riding one day, I decided to pop in and get some food. This place is just about as normal as a Chinese restaurant comes. It's small, has a large menu, actual decent amount of seating and good food. I hopped back on my bike and rode over to a small pavilion over by the bike trail to enjoy my food. The day was beautiful and eating in peace was nice. Overall, it was pretty good with no real complaints. read more

China Dragon - Chicken chow mien. Hot and fresh. - Chinese Near Me - Morton, Illinois

the atmosphere and customer service was great we came all the way from Creve Coeur just to order and the food was magnificent same with the smoothie overall five stars I recommend eating from here read more

Had the Wonton Soup to go it was very good. It was the 1st time there and definitely will go back.

This is a surprising little gem in a Kroger strip mall. I stopped in late one night while in town for a baseball tournament and it was one of the few non-fast food restaurants still open. Due to the restaurant's Covid safety measures, you literally could only walk about five feet into the front door. The restaurant is surrounded in plexiglass. You circled what you want on the menu and passed it through a window to an employee. Payment goes through another plastic tube. I'm fairly certain the woman working didn't say more than five words to me. The food was pretty darn good. I had lo mein, hot and sour soup, and crab Rangoon. I was happy with all of it and stuffed myself full. Try China Dragon if you get a chance - sooooo good! read more

So I stopped in because I was on the road and didn't want a fast food burger or sandwich. I ordered hot and sour soup, a pork egg roll and beef lo mein. I decided to eat in vs takeout and had barely started to scroll thru my emails when the food was delivered! I mean in under 4 minutes. The lo mein had just the right size of beef cuts and it was delicious. The hot and sour had a good dark hue from cooking a long time. Not overdone. Had a nice kick from the spices and vinegar. Egg roll was a little darker than expected and I thought it was going to taste "burned" but the flavor was exceptional. So well done China Dragon. Did not disappoint and I will be back. Reasonable prices. These folks are "gittin 'er done"!! read more

China Dragon - Hot and Sour Soup - Chinese Near Me - Morton, Illinois

See all

I either got food poisoning from this place or poisoned from the MSG they put in the food. Didn't taste bad but made me and my family deathly sick will not be going back here again. read more

This food was amazing!! Great portions and great taste!! They took our order even though we thought it would be too late... we love China Dragon! :) read more

Food is consistently good and super fast. A great pickup spot. Especially their fried rice

I have used China Dragon for carry out for many years. The dishes are always fresh and tasty.

Best Chinese food in my area. Good prices and on time. Portions of food. You can eat in now. I would recommend it.

Disappointed. Fried rice and Lo Mien tasted and smelled like rancid oil. Yuk! We have had several times before, always decent. Tonight, not good. Probably gonna order pizza on Fridays at mom's! read more

This place has continuously gone down hill but we have it one more try and solidified why we will never go again. Meat was pre-cooked and thrown in and was tasteless and tough. Fried Rice also was precooked and hard as gravel. Crab Rangoon could have been squeezed out to make a quart of oil. Shame how this once good take out joint has turned into such an awful place...stick with Panda Express or Jade Palace in East Peoria read more

Yeah, too much to say and don't have a half hour to talk about the true reality of what is under all that batter on the chicken. Just saying my chicken underneath all their batter is usually the stuff I cut off and throw away at home. Kinda lost trust in Chinese restaurants after seeing the stuff they cook up, and another Chinese restaurant not deveining their shrimp before breading and cooking them up. Ugghh read more

The chicken and broccoli was good don't order angel hair pasta kind of bland food is fast and also stay away from chop suet other food is very good read more

I'm surprised to see some negative reviews. China Dragon is excellent carry out. I got the Cashew Chicken combination meal! Excellent! Full of chopped vegetables! I chose the fried rice which was also excellent. There's enough food in one of these meals to feed at least two people. Plus you get an egg roll with it. Very reasonably priced. I didn't eat the egg roll but my husband says they're quite tasty. Seasoned perfectly! My husband had the pepper steak. He said excellent. Not a man of many words. Never disappointed here. They are always busy. That should be a clue the food is good. Yes the staff isn't chatty. They are busy. They've been in town and owned this place for years. A staple in the community. Yes I will come here again and again. read more

Good, fast service with reasonable pricing! You get a lot of food for what you pay. The only downfall are customers with attitude that wait in line near you! Love this establishment and the friendly service. read more

China Dragon - the inside of a fast food restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Morton, Illinois

Decent food, but the girl working there is sooo rude. No wonder they are so slow, they don't act like they don't even want you there.

This is by far my favorite Chinese food! I've never had a bad experience with anything I've ordered. And it's always ready in 10 minutes after calling. Super fast and great food! read more

Good small place for quick meal or takeout. Very fresh and friendly people too. Great prices and big portions. Don't bother with the Chinese buffet nearby when this place exists. read more

The best chicken lo mein around here. The staff is great and courteous too. They are closed on Mondays but the rest of the time they have really good food. read more

The best takeout Chinese food. China Dragon just can't be beat. If, heaven forbid, you ever find yourself in Morton, IL and crave some chicken fried rice and wontons you know where to go. read more

Tasty food at reasonable prices. The other night, I got takeout General Tso's Chicken and Beef and Broccoli, and found the food a decent value for the money. My order costed less than $15, and had a ton of food. Really enjoyed the Beef and Broccoli, which had real, tender cuts of beef as opposed to a slimy, non-meat variant. If you're looking for a quick meal in Morton at prices that won't break the bank, go to China Dragon. read more

I can't give anything over three stars because the food is exactly what you'd expect from a strip mall Chinese restaurant where the lunch special is $5. That being said, it met expectations, was quick, and had about 20 lunch special options. Hunan shrimp was clouted as spicy but barely packed a punch. Did have decent amount of veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, baby corn, carrots) but next time would ask for white rice instead of fried as it was way too greasy.. read more

China Dragon has the best Chinese food in Morton, however during my last visit there was a woman arguing with someone who appeared to be her brother. No reason to not come back though! :-) read more

In a word - horrible. Chinese food, in my experience, typically breaks the pick two rule and is good, fast and cheap. Unfortunately, China Dragon has completely managed to remove the 'good' from their food. We ordered: Chicken Lo-mien (bland, tasteless, over cooked noodles), Beef and Broccoli (beef was void of any flavor, the sauce tasted like beef broth with a thickening agent added, broccoli was surprisingly cooked well, but also void of any flavor), General Tso's Chicken (this dish normally has anything from a slight kick to hot, it was not - worse it was just as bland as the beef and no 'chicken' could be found among the fried balls of mystery substance), White rice (cooked well, no complaints), Crab Rangoon (if you've never had this you would think it was OK, if you have, it is 'OK' at best). Also, a personal pet peeve, they only take cash or checks and don't mention it on the phone when you order. I had to run out and get cash from my wife just to buy dinner as I typically carry maybe $5 and who uses checks anymore! On a more positive note the staff was very friendly and welcoming. read more

Best Chinese food in the local area! Prices are not too expensive and food is always ready fast

Great! Employees were very friendly. The food was prepared very well. I ordered General Tso's chicken and crab Rangoon's for an appetizer, they were both delicious. Would recommend. read more

My go to place for Chinese carry out. Probably the best place in the Morton / East Peoria Area. Really like anything that includes their Roast Pork. Their lo mein is excellent. Some of the best Crab Rangoon. read more

Best cheap takeout Chinese food I've had anywhere in Central Illinois. I've been impressed with everything I've gotten from there, including the Hot and Sour Soup which a lot of otherwise good restaurants seem to be able to do well. Be warned though--they do not take credit cards, so come armed with either cash or a check. read more

If you want quick cheap Chinese take out this is the place. (There are booth's too.) If you want buffet go to Lin's. Both have excellent food. read more

Their food is allright but the service was absolutly terrible. I was insulted numerous times by the owner because they take cash only anf they did not mention that over the phone. When I suggested that they tell people before they come in so they can be prepared the owner went off on me, telling me it was my business to know that fact. IT was the first time had ate thier so how was supposed to know, after I said that fact to them, the owner then told me to get out and cursed me out in her native Chinese language and told an emplyee to escort me to the parking lot. All for asking them to tell thier patrons over the phone that debit cards are not accepted. I have never been treated so terribly by a staff ever and will never EVER go back again even if their food was the best in the world, which it wasnt. The food as Good but not great, actually very standard for Chinese food. However with Customer service, it was the worst I have ever seen. So unless you like bieng treated terribly by the staff, avoid this place like the plague! read more
