Great food and service! Sometime you need a good Singapore Rice noodles dish and City Dragon has it down. Not only wonderful food, but great service as well. read more

Ordered from City Dragon for the second time. Great selection and consistently awesome food. Food arrived very quickly via Uber Eats. Nicely packaged and well prepared. The Salt and Pepper tofu is excellent as are the green beans in bean sauce. read more

City Dragon - String Beans with Bean Sauce - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

When I walked in to get my food a month ago, I was greeted very friendly and given exactly what I wanted with no problems. Prices had gone up, but I was very OK with that because that's the way it is. But, I ordered food just a couple of days ago and the same size container of the hot sour soup, which is enough for two people was half the size it was no longer the larger container. It was a smaller container for the same price. I felt rushed out of there and was treated very abruptly when I walked in. I understand restaurants are having problems, but if this is how they're going to treat their customers, they're going to have more problems. I've had to adapt by paying double the amount of money for the same thing that I used to get but to give you half the amount of the food and still charge the same that's BS! Looks like I'm going to have to find another Chinese restaurant that's going to be good and accommodate my needs because I'm no longer returning and I'm no longer going to recommend them! read more

City Dragon - Orange chicken, BBQ pork fried rice, dragon wings. - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

Located near north park, this place gets my approval. I ordered from EZ cater for an office order. I needed to feed 16-20 people. Ordered the party combo tray 2 intended to feed 15 people, Buddha's delight for vegetarians, and string green bean with black bean sauce. Combo party 2 is supposed to feed 15, but you can easily feed 20 adding one more dish. It comes with 20 pieces of fried chicken (spicy level 4/10) which were perfectly crispy and tasty, chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, broccoli beef, mixed vegetables. There was left overs. This is really good value and all 20 of my coworkers loved it! read more

Loved the chicken wings. Definitely try if you're in the area but not necessarily a place I'd go out of my way to get. Small indoor area with seating but looks like best for take out Chinese. read more

Food is delicious!! The service is great they are so nice and helpful. The restaurant is so clean and bright. I live in Chula Vista and drive all the way to this restaurant because I trust that their GF food is GF!! I have a member in in my home that has celiacs and the GF food here is delicious and clean!!! Never have an issue after eating here. The rest of us without celiacs love the food as well so good!! We ordered GF chow mein with chicken, GF fried rice with chicken and beef and dragon spicy wings. Chow mein so good didn't get a chance to take a pic!! read more

Very good food and fast service. Small place for mostly to go orders. There is a big table if you want to eat there.

Ordered this place since they left a flyer on my apartment door and had free delivery. Ordered online. Delivery very convenient. Food itself was not good. Ordered four dishes and a soup. Everything tasted bland. Beef was a little questionable. Only positive about food is that my girlfriend liked their green beans. Everything else was not good. I did not have seconds, we did not finish the food (this is never the case with me). Leftovers remained in fridge a couple of days as I tried to muster the courage to eat them so my money would not go to waste. Finally, I got so hungry and tired to cook. I gave the leftovers another shot. They were even worse. I had to cut my losses and throw them away. read more

Very good Chinese food. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken and chicken fried rice and they were very tasty and full Of flavor. Definitely will be ordering from this place again. Will be trying other items on the menu for sure when we order again read more

Tried the beef chow fun and was happily surprised. It had that wok smokiness, so often missing. It looks like they no longer have a lunch special, but maybe that's a blessing in disguise--I was never impressed with any of the lunch entrees I tried over the years. Today's experience give me hope to try some of their other regular menu items. read more

City Dragon is one of my favorite Chinese take-away spots in San Diego. Their menu is simple and you'll find the staples such as fried rice, lo mein, orange chicken, but you won't find more traditional dishes--and I'm okay with that. Here are my go-to's: - Orange Beef: Tasty, sweet, tangy, and a little spicy. The perfect blend of flavors to satisfy any craving. - Salt and Pepper Tofu: Lightly dusted tofu cubes wok tossed in salt and pepper. I ask for it extra crispy, and they deliver most of the time. - Sweet and Sour Pork: Deliciously balanced and always hits the right spot with plenty of white rice. - BBQ Pork Fried Rice: You can taste the smokiness from the wok, and it never disappoints. - Beef Lo Mein: One of my favorites. Tasty, with that distinct smokiness that keeps me coming back. - Beef Chow Fun: Again, tasty and satisfying every single time. City Dragon is on my weekly meal rotation, usually on the weekends after a late night out, lol. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area and looking for some delicious Chinese takeout. Welp! Onto the next! read more

It's more like 3.5. I like the food from here. It's not a five-star haute cuisine restaurant, but this good hits right when you drink beer at El Cid and watch sports. My husband and I are vegetarian/vegan; they have a great selection of this type of food for us. We've tried and enjoyed all the vegetarian items on the menu. Last night, I was too sick to cook, and so was my husband,d so we got an order from Uber Eats: 1. Kung Pao Tofu 2. Salt and Pepper Tofu Both were delicious and hit the spot. This is the spot if you want some good old-fashioned, low-key Chinese food. It's a take-out place, not set up for dine-in, as it's really small inside. Give them a shot and then take it next door to El Cid's and grab a good beer to go with it. read more

Food was okay. Honestly the meat was questionable it didn't taste like beef or smell like it at all. The meat was sparse also for $18. I promise there was only like 3 pieces of shrimp. Very overpriced for a Chinese takeout spot. The restaurant was clean and the service was okay they looked a little suspicious honestly. The meat left a bloody type of taste in my mouth. I'm skeptical about eating my leftovers. My so. Wouldn't touch the noodles. He didn't like the dry texture or flavor either. I don't recommend this restaurant . read more

City Dragon - Noodle and rice - Chinese Near Me - San Diego, California

For the past couple of months me and my coworkers we have dealt with the lady that answer the phone with her rudeness. Thinking maybe she had bad day. But, Today I try to place order for delivery and the same lady that answered the phone answers so mad As if she was upset we asked for the clarification prices. For the individual meals. We have dealt with the same lady that answers the phone she had been rude to me and my co-workers for the past couple of month we order over the phone. We decided to cancel. Because of her. Food is reasonable and As a customer we are grateful for free delivery. But because of this lady we rather bring business to someone who appreciate customer service. We decided to cancel $60.00 order. read more

A hidden gem. If you know you know! They never miss-- always good, always FRESH! I love the dragon chow fun.. the egg rolls taste fresh, not like they've been sitting around for hours.. the egg drop soup is good as well.. every time I'm here there's lots of people doing pick up and door dash orders, and lots of walk ins.. so it's safe to say it's a favorable spot. Friendly staff. I would say it's definitely one of the better quality Chinese restaurants in town, and they're consistent in flavor, freshness and quality. Always a good idea! read more

I really like their food. Tasty and always fresh. Very friendly service which is always a big plus! read more

SUPER soupy Moo Shu Pork. I ordered Moo Shu pork to go, the cardboard takeout container they use was so cheap it disintegrated in the three blocks I walked home so I was left with a plastic bag of Moo Shit. read more

I ordered online and was expecting what I thought to be SALT AND PEPPER chicken wings. It was my mistake I was in a rush and should've opened up what was given to me to verify. I got what appeared to be orange chicken without the sauce seasoned with some garlic topping. read more

Fast service and great food that is perfectly cooked! It has always been quiet and peaceful when I've been here.

I decided to give this place another try. I had the chicken and mushroom dish with brown rice. It was very good and I appreciate that they have brown rice! It's $2 extra but so much healthier than white rice. It's a tiny place, I ate there by myself. Not the kind of place to meet up with others. Counter service was quick and efficient. They did a nice job. read more

The food here is incredible! I live around the corner and they deliver for free so quickly! It always comes within 30 minutes of ordering! The food is so yummy and comforting. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

This is my go to spot for food! Love the Chow-Mein. Lunch specials are decent size. Foods made fast

It's a fine neighborhood takeout spot. The parking lot is a little crazy, so I always plan to walk or get it delivered. Portion sizes are typically good, although I do feel like they skimp on the meat sometimes compared to other Chinese takeout spots. I do think everything is cooked to order here which is a plus for their quality. Overall, though, it's a middle-of-the-road spot. If you want 5-star, I'd recommend Fortunate Son, but you'll spent 2-3x the amount there. read more

Ordered take out and it was delivered by Uber, I think. But I can't imagine the driver is responsible for tasteless, wet food. Good grief the food was so bad. Nice portions but everything was soggy and tasteless. It's so expensive to live in California and yet I wasted my money here :-( read more

I did delivery. Food arrived faster than I expected. Fried rice and salt and pepper wings were delicious.

Everything I get here is delicious. Always a 5 star great food , very fast delivery, food is always hot on arrival

The food we ordered was delicious and tasty. I tried the sweet and sour fish and it was outstanding! The vegetables were fresh and crunch. Worth a try. I will definitely be back for more! read more

The salt and pepper wings are super tasty and they get them out pretty quickly which is great! The service is always great. They help you with the menu read more

This is bad food,no taste at all. We had an orange chicken but it doesn't taste chicken and I taste starch and barely chicken . Also black pepper beef tasted sucks,you taste just black pepper ,it's too much. Don't waste your money. Rice is one day old. read more

It satisfied my Chinese food cravings 100%. I ordered through Doordash, and the order arrived quickly, and the food still was hot. (nice) I am not a Chinese food expert, but I get serious orange chicken cravings once in a while. The food was nicely prepared and tasted authentic in my estimation. I ordered sautéed vegetable and multigrain rice separately. I also ordered shrimp egg rolls, which was tasty even though it was a little burned for my preference. I put together the plate shown in the picture. Even though not 5 stars, it's a solid 4 in my estimation. You might want to try it for yourself. read more

Super solid cheap chinese spot! They give good size portions and honestly is one of the top 2 best orange chicken in town. I have ordered party trays from here too and end up feeding almost 30 people for only $300 Cooked to order everything so it was super fresh read more

This parking plaza is so tiny. The area is also sketchy. Street parking is metered along the side street but free along El Cajon Blvd. We went with the basic standard safe dishes and ordered salt and pepper tofu ($10), salt and pepper chicken wings ($13), and orange chicken with rice ($13.50). The tofu was lightly breaded and deep fried with soft crispy shell and soft interior. Had chili garlic and scallion toppings that gave it a kick. The salt and pepper wings were jumbo and very crispy with all the flavors. Orange chicken was also well made. Had the tangy sauce. I think this is one of the better Chinese restaurants that I've been to based on these three dishes. It was hot, made to order and fresh. Clean, had seating, it's just the parking lot that needs a reserved space for pick up. read more

I ordered the orange chicken, it was okay. It seemed mass produced like they pulled it out of a frozen bag, fried it, and poured some sauce on it. Maybe that's what all American-Chinese restaurants do, but I've had much better elsewhere (Sam Woo is probably my top but much farther away) albeit I've had much worse as well. I enjoyed it but I'm not in a rush to go back. I've also had the beef and broccoli from here and it was again ok. Might be the best Chinese food in uptown. read more

I wish I had taken photos of my food before writing a review but I couldn't wait lol I ordered the Garlic spicy chicken, and Green Bean Chicken and both dishes did not disappoint at all.. the Garlic Chicken pieces were lightly breaded and smothered in Garlic bits sautéed in chili oil sooo flavorful and crunchy ! Loved loading my spoonfuls of rice with the garlic.. I ordered the chicken with green bean so I can get some vegetables in for the day, deliciously crunchy green beans coated in black bean sauce with surprise pieces of velvety sautéed chicken.. The portions are huge! We ate this for 2-3 meals And each entrée comes with rice -If you so happen to come in the menu on the wall behind the register isn't updated price-wise, so don't ask for combos they don't exist anymore (unless it's lunch check that yellow menu out) -You can always order delivery directly from them granted you live in the area ($30 min) - you can also order via Grub Hub, Menu Star, Door Dash and either deliver or pickup and pay beforehand to save some time -you can also call ahead for pickup then pay at the register just be vocal as soon as you arrive as it can get busy from time to time -and ask for Hot oil or hot mustard (for dipping eggrolls) if you wanted to add alittle extra flavor or spice to your meal read more

I love this place. I'm addicted to the bbq chow fun and salt & pepper wings. The food is always made fresh to order and served piping hot. I do recommend calling ahead. That way, the food is ready to dash in real quick to pick up. This place is always busy and organized. The owner is super friendly. He always makes sure to poke his head out to say hello if he is working orders in the kitchen. My belly craves this place. read more

Horrible customer service, zero attentiveness of service. Zero problem solving skills. Food is pricey for the amount of food. And I was missing an item in my delivery. I told them I was out of town, leaving tomorrow to my home state, I do not have a vehicle to pick up my food that is why I ordered delivery. It would've been nice to credit some amount in my charge but they did not. Will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

This is our first time and we were really impressed with fast food Chinese style. Walked in and everything was really clean very organized. Everyone there was really friendly, efficient and professional. I love that. I could see everybody working in the kitchen. I went there specifically for the salt and pepper chicken that people raved about. I really liked it. I'm gonna try a few other places for comp comparison purposes. we also ordered the cashew chicken. The sauce was good. The rice was perfect. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. As with everything prices are going up so I guess I'm just not used to the high price of going out yet, but I guess it's comparable to any other similar restaurant. But I would highly recommend you check it out for yourself. read more

Nice, neighborhood spot that has parking, a large menu and lunch specials. City Dragon is situated in a small strip off El Cajon Boulevard, so for it to have its own parking is a great feat. The menu is also pretty big so no matter any dietary restrictions you may have, chances are that you can find something to eat here. I ordered the shrimp in lobster sauce and thought it was pretty okay! It didn't blow my mind but it's certainly not something I would reorder. I can say this -- the portions here are generous and the folks are pretty nice. There are a handful of chairs inside so if you're able to snag one, you may have a chance at eating inside. I noticed most folks who ordered food here had it to go or were picking up. I believe they offer deliver if the location is within 2 miles read more
