Decided to give this place a try for takeout and it was decent overall. The wings had good flavor and were covered in sauce, which I liked, and the fried rice was seasoned pretty well. The sweet and sour chicken had a nice crispy texture at first and the portions were definitely generous for the price. That being said, the food was a little inconsistent. Some of the wings could've been fried harder because they got soggy pretty quickly sitting in the sauce. The sweet and sour chicken was okay, but nothing that really stood out compared to other spots around town. Not a bad meal by any means, but not something I'd go out of my way for either. Solid option if you're craving quick comfort food or typical Chinese food. read more

I love mall Chinese food! You literally can't beat the price for the amount of food and quality. I always get the bourbon chicken and it never disappoints. Literally only $10 for the meal below! read more

This was probably the worst Chinese food I've had for years. I was craving some takeaway General Tso's Chicken and Lo Mein (I don't care if it is "inauthentic" mind you) and decided to check this place out and it was godawful. The chicken was fried until dry and tough and then drenched in orange sauce, the lo mein was mealy and reeked of grease (with shrimp as hard as bullets), and the special bowl was overstuffed with soggy rice. I couldn't even finish my first helping. The smell alone (like burnt oil) was so overpowering that I had to toss the whole mess in the outside trash. I waited 30 minutes and paid $22 for that. Will not be making that mistake again. read more

Ordered online and got it delivered! The pork fried rice was super good 5/5, the general so chicken was a little sweet, it came with an egg roll which was 5/5. The wonton soup was a good pick me up and pretty filling. I wouldn't get the shrimp lo mein though, it's underwhelming): , order was timely though! read more

Always great takeout, and great service is as well. Our staple Chinese takeout place!!!

Food is always good, we always check and nothing ever is off. Good flavor and portions. People are very nice as well

Honestly confused why average rating is only 3 stars, I've always thought the quality was decent standard (for takeout) and the price is hard to beat. read more

I'm really ready to stop eating at this restaurant because you only give out two packs of soy sauce for any type of rice you get and give out duck sauce like it's just soy sauce yeah food is great but yall make us pay for extra soy sauce that is absurd to me read more

I love their Singapore dish and the General Tso. I've seen bad reviews but personally always had a great experience when we order from here.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! Fried rice was yellow rice. The egg roll was the best part.

We all have our fave Chinese dishes and I'm no different in that I prefer the classic Triple Delight. That would be shrimp, chicken and beef with all the veggies mixed in. If available, I take mine with fried rice. So, it's no surprise, that's what I ordered when I called this place for take out. They do their's Sichuan style or on the spicy side. Now that's fine with me and I will actually give them kudos because the friend rice was better than average. I also ordered 2 of their egg rolls which were just not good at all. Hardly any taste & a bit soggy. This place is clearly for take out as there is only one table inside and 2 outside. There is parking on the side the of the building so you don't have to park on the street. It's always a challenge to find your 'go to' Chinese take out when you move to a new city but so far, this place has it. I got the larger size, with the fried rice and 2 egg rolls for $15 bucks which I call a decent value. read more

I ordered this for takeout and it was delicious! The broccoli was cooked perfectly and not too mushy nor too hard. Beef was not chewy or tough either, it was very tender and tasty. The restaurant is small and has a homey feeling when you walk in. The service was very nice and was quick and easy. I would definitely come again to eat here read more

China Dragon - Beef and Broccoli with Garlic Sauce Dinner - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I love love LOVE their Egg Foo Young. I don't know if it's the brown sauce or the EFY itself, but it's one of my favorite places to get EFY. I don't live in the area but when I visit I usually try to include a China Dragon EFY order. Their Egg Drop Soup is quite good, too. read more

If you read my reviews, you will see that I rarely give a restaurant a low rating. Even when they are struggling, I appreciate the fact that they are there. However, I'm gonna have to make an exception for this establishment. Ordered take out and had it delivered. The egg drop soup had almost no flavor and the chicken with broccoli in garlic sauce that was billed as hot and spicy wasn't. On top of all that, they shorted me an egg roll. Since I ordered through a delivery company I wasn't going to make a big deal about the egg roll as they probably had no way of getting it to me and I had no desire to drive out there to pick it up. Overall it was just a disappointing experience. Too many other restaurants that get it done correctly for me to go back to this one. read more

A literal live worm fell off my fork mid-bite. I got sick & ended up calling poison control. When I tried to call the restaurant (the same evening) to inform them of this and request a refund, they didn't answer. Long story long, I am disgusted and highly upset with my experience here. read more

Typical chinese take out place. It was late at night on a Monday, and we suddenly got a craving for some chinese food. I googled around and saw this place was open until 11PM. No place delivers to our home, so we ordered for take out and went to pick it up, and it was ready within 10-15 minutes. We ordered Chicken lo mein and General Tso chicken. The lo mein was a little lack luster. It lacked flavor, but just seemed like it needed more salt or soy sauce. The general Tso chicken was very tasty. The texture of the chicken was a little mushy, but that was probably from steaming on the drive home. They give you A LOT of food, for a decent price. I will definitely be back if I ever have a late night craving. read more

China Dragon - This is egg drop soup with what looks like mold in it :/ Egg Drop Soup - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This is the last time you get my order. Ive ordered from here several times and have even recommended it to friends. I received OLD lo mein noodles. Not cold, or anything to do with a dasher but OLD! You could tell they made them hours ago an just reheated for my order. I called an basically she told me whatever and to take it up with door dash. So disrespectful. read more

I ordered the chicken with mixed vegetables. I just moved around the block so I thought I would try out this Chinese place! I ordered on the phone and picked it up about ten minutes later. Food comes out pretty fast, but was nothing near what I expected. The second I opened my box, I couldn't help but notice the spongy chicken. I took one bite and had to spit it out immediately. I had to throw away the whole meal. Waste of my $10. Would never be back. There are far better Chinese take out in the area definitely. read more

China Dragon - Chicken and mixed vegetables - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

excellent service & great food! Really love coming here. staff is friendly & food is great!

The only positive on this meal was the price and delivery, even for cheap take out this was average. For starters the spring rolls were the size of halloween candy, i understand they are a dollar but if you have to raise the price raise the value please. They were also very doughy and kind of under cooked, not alot of noodles or vegetables. The hot and sour soup to me had to much going on to me but maybe i prefer things simpler. finally and the most infuriating point to me was the disgraceful fried rice i received, the least a chinese restaurant can do is use asian style rice, the rice i received was definitely not jasmine and honestly had a taste and look of rice pilaf or cheap store brand rice. Honestly there are probably better options out there but for the price this is ok. I would have put pictures of the spring rolls but they were so tiny i finished them in the elevator smh. read more

This restaurant had high ratings on DoorDash, a 4.5 out of 5 rating! It should be a 2 at best! The dry yellow rice and unseasonably wings were not good. The eggroll, I've had better from the freezer section in the grocery store! I gave two store because my order was accurate! read more

There were black beans in my fried rice. Dios mio! read more

The lunch specials here range around $5-5.75 (lower, depending if you get only vegetarian fare). It comes with an entree, your choice of fried or white rice, and an eggroll or a soda. Since this is literally the closest Chinese place near campus (I can walk right out of my biology classes into this restaurant), lunch is both convenient and inexpensive. Pepper steak is so-so, chicken dishes are usually good. I go here mainly for the shrimp and lobster sauce. They give you a lot for what you pay. However, grabbing lunch here literally means to grab and go; there are 2 or so tables in this small restaurant and the atmosphere isn't exactly unfriendly, but i wouldn't say it's very welcoming, either. I also noticed that for some odd reason, it takes forever for my food to be done if I go inside and order, as opposed to calling ahead and having it ready before I can even get there (10-15 minutes). Overall, for the food and price this place is one of the better take-out places in Richmond. read more

their cheap wonton soup helps get me through college cause food ain't cheap nowadays.

these people are soo rude. I called asking if they had an item and the lady said no and hung up on me. I called back so I can order something else and she starts yelling at me and hung up again. do not give these mfers your money. i hope the worst for them. read more

You ever just want corner Chinese food. You know the kind you grew up with. It definitely hit to spot!

Have been coming here since 2014 while at Vcu. This Chinese quick takeout is the best for it's price, fast order placement and completion, and most importantly the awesome food. Highly recommend stoping and giving them a taste! read more

My boyfriend and I love China Dragon - definitely our go-to spot for a college weekend take out dinner. The people are super nice and it's really quick as well! Probably the best wonton soup I've had, and I consider myself quite a wonton connoisseur. All around solid place. read more

don't get anything that says it comes with white rice.....it doesn't. They will charge extra and tell you, you didn't order that. The new name is New China Dragon but they need to go back to the original because this is crazy. Service is bad too...the lady at the counter throw my receipt on the floor and when I tired to stablize myself on the little table they had, she told me not put anything on the table. Soooo would you have rather me fall? Never had these problems until the new rebranding. Not cool! read more

Great customer service and excellent food! Seriously the best lo mein I have ever had and the prices are not bad at all! This will be my go to takeout Chinese from here on out! read more

The General Tso's bean curd is sooooooooooooooooooo good. Best tofu I've ever had in my whole life!!!

Ordered the beef chow mei fun and broccoli with shrimp and scallops. Both were very good, well seasoned and portions were very generous. Only comment is that they could cook with a bit less oil. nom nom nom.. read more

The secret to many restaurants, especially modest ones, is knowing what to order and what not to order. I have found that, at China Dragon, you can actually order excellent and HEALTHY food, provided that you keep the order simple. Order any meat (such as beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, etc.) with vegetables (such as broccoli or mixed vegetables) over white rice. It will always come with your typically good Chinese restaurant brown sauce. You can even specify "spicy" if you want. And then, what you get will ALWAYS be good. Remember to focus on the simple and straightforward: no deep fried this, or General Tso that, or mystery delight what not, or fried rice. A very healthy item is the Bean Curd (i.e., tofu) Szechuan Style, but be sure to ask for steamed tofu (as opposed to the deep fried tofu). It comes with a great assortment of vegetables and a sauce. read more

I tried to order delivery from them online tonight, and (unbeknownst to me) put it the wrong address. That being said, when the delivery man called, he and I couldn't understand each other to give the correct address. When I called the restaurant to figure out what was going on, the woman on the phone was very adamant to tell me that this mistake was my fault. When I attempted to cancel my order and avoid the frustration altogether, she cursed me out. Never ordering from the place again - that's just embarrassingly bad customer service. read more

Try this place out found it on yelp wanted to get some Chinese chicken noodle soup and they were very very close to where I was the soup was good it was a little darker in color than the places that I've normally been I've been to a couple places and got the same thing but it taste just as good I'll definitely keep going back there it was nice it was clean inside my weight wasn't long there was nobody in there when I went so I'll definitely go back and try it again. read more

I just recently moved to Richmond, and this is the first place here from which I've ordered Chinese food. It happened to be the first link on Google for my search criteria. I clicked the link expecting to see a menu, but this miraculous screen appeared, telling me that I can order online for delivery. Oh, I don't have to place a phone call? Sold. The food arrived about an hour after I ordered, so if you think you'll be ravenously hungry just plan ahead for that. I got the chicken wings and shrimp chow mei fun. The wings aren't the best I've ever had, but they're edible. Greasy and kind if bland, but edible. The mei fun, however, is very delicious. I would order that again, or anything else from this place for that matter. For the convenience, not too shabby. read more

I ordered delivery from this restaurant and here is my review: The Good: Cost- most of the items on the menu are standard prices for Chinese delivery. Very affordable indeed. Portion size- You get a reasonable amount of food for what you pay for. Order/Delivery- One thing that separates this restaurant from most Chinese takeout/delivery is that you can place orders online. After placing the order, the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and was hot. The Bad: Taste- the food wasnt terrible, but it was far from great. There was nothing special about the taste of the food. It is your average run of the mill Chinese restaurant. Overall- While the food is far from special, the restaurant delivers in a reasonable time, the food is hot and its cheap. If you are hungry you will like this place. If not, you might want to order elsewhere. THREE STARS. read more

I completely agree with A.L.'s comment that you've got to know what to order here. Every time I go with the Szechuan Tofu and I'm totally addicted to the flavors. Is it authentic? Probably not. Is it saucy, spicy and delicious? Heck yeah. Crisply fried tofu is combined with baby corn, broccoli, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and mushrooms and enrobed in a spicy brown sauce. This, a cup of egg drop soup and you're good to go. My boyfriend has had some definite misses off the menu, though. The chicken in his Kung Pao Chicken was puffy, breaded and completely unappetizing, leading us both to decide we'd skip chicken here from now on. He had better luck with Szechuan beef and Chinese dumplings (frozen dumplings are pretty hard to mess up). Will this be my go-to Chinese spot? Nope. Will I order again when I'm craving some tasty Szechuan tofu? Definitely! read more

Good service. Not bad pricing and they always get my order right. Go to spot next to VCU
