Pretty good. Always ate here as a kid in the 90's w my parents. Still pretty tasty and a good amount of food for your money.

New owners. I really wanted to love this. The new menu looks great! We tried the Szechuan chicken and it was mostly breading. The sauce was really good, but each piece had just a tiny bit of chicken with a bunch of breading. It was just a soggy piece of breading with sauce. I couldn't even feel the chicken while chewing it, that's how little chicken there was. We also had the shrimp chow mein and the chow mein was overwhelmingly bean sprouts with no water chestnuts, a few snow peas, and a tiny bit of celery. I wanted a more balanced mix of veggies and definitely water chestnuts. The shrimp were ok but not very many. If you want to do well here, please don't skimp on ingredients. It looks like my review isn't the only one that shows some disappointment recently. read more

Sorry to complain, but our take-out order was awful. All items meant to be crunchy & crispy (General Tso's Chicken, Sweet n Sour Chicken, Fried Battered Shrimp) were Spongy Wet, Soggy and Slimy! Where all portions stuck together in one big clump. The sauces used (primarily: Gen Tso's and Sweet & Sour Chicken) were kind of bland & watery, with a strange chemical taste to it (cleaning agent? Soap? IDK), and nothing close to anything I had ever tasted in my 68 yrs in Chinese food. The Pan Fried Noodles? Seriously, you could easily distinguish rancid, or highly used (reconstituted?) old used oil. Truly oily & nasty tasting. The impression I got was that the cook made more food than what could be sold in a matter of short time, and/or none of it was cooked to order, but leftovers that had been sitting around for a good length of time, but not to be wasted, possibly reserved only for unsuspecting take out orders, knowing most people wouldn't feel comfortable returning the food, or waste their precious gas or time having to return it, or possibly liqueur drunk, and wouldn't know the difference. Btw, it only took my wife less than 10 mins to arrive home with the order, and was instantly served while still comfortably warm. Additionally, none of the items were eaten other than the few bites that immediately sent big red flags: DO NOT EAT THE REST! You might get sick! WEBSITE IMAGES DO NOT INDICATE WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GETTING! Owner actually said: They are "Copied and Pasted". Our first time, and my LAST time! read more

I've been coming here for years. Went in today and they have a new menu, ingredients, and people and unfortunately not to our liking. I didn't ask but it must under new ownership. People all seemed nice though. Significantly cheaper ingredients. Sadly I'll be researching on yelp for a new go to Chinese food place. read more

Poor husband and wife that run this place. They really need to upgrade this place with a remodel. I got the chicken chow mein with veggies. I could not really eat the chicken as it was soft and spongy chicken that someone said looked like pork rinds. Either way it was bad. I did not eat the chicken at all. Most everyone else liked their meals. I don't think that I will be going back anytime soon. read more

Thanks Again to you All for your help. Bless you and have a wonderful Christmas. Gayle read more

Food and ambiance. Was great when I was growing up because all we had was Dancing Dragon and Dragon Fountain. Now. The restaurant should call it a wrap and let somebody else take it over. Food is blah. Drink prices for bottled beer is insane. Sorry Dancing Dragon. There isn't any reason for people to choose this restaurant over the many others in the area that are so much better. read more

We have been eating here for years, but the food has gone downhill. My wife and I got ill after eating lunch. Food served tasted all the same, just with different sauces. Will probably not return. read more

We've been eating a dancing dragon for over 20 years and did her due diligence to make sure they were gonna be open on Christmas. He sat down at our table to wait, which was over 40 minutes. Johnny, the waiter was super rude and told us the weight to order food would be 40 minutes. For some reason, he was the only waiter working the floor, which during Christmas day is insane. Grub orders were blaring in the background. If Johnny or the other owner would've bothered to tell us that there was an extended order time when we walked to the door we wouldn't have wasted over 40 minutes, sitting at a table. It's obvious this regular. This restaurant is struggling since it has been updated in over 20 years. If the service continues to suck, it's gonna go down in flames and be gone because other places are nicer and treat the customer as well. For what they charge we should be getting top tier service you were great customers and know how to tip. So I'm gonna give a tip to the general public avoid this place like the plague, the overpriced and they have shotty service. read more

BEST SERVICE EVER We arrived 1 hour prior to closing decided to celebrate my birthday with exploring a new restaurant. The menu is typical of a Chinese restaurant and the experience only improved ordering: the waiter (we believe he was the owner) recommended to our youngest to remove onions and sprouts from his chicken rice. He obviously accepted! Our other son asked for the same plate and the waiter kindly suggested Chicken Chow Mein and to share. We all agreed. When bringing the large Kung Pao Chicken plate, one of my sons asked "Is that for all of us?" and he replied: "Families always share!" I should have mentioned it took him no longer than 4 to 5 minutes to bring the food and our water glasses were refilled often without us waiting. The food was delicious and we shared, as he recommended. We enjoyed ourselves and decided to give this establishment a good rating. Definitely coming back to this hidden gem. #ruizmedina read more

It's very sad when I can't give a glowing review. Going in with the hope that a "lunch special" will be time and money well spent, but leaving wishing I had gone elsewhere. While I don't have evidence of food poisoning, or needing to spit the food out, I've certainly had better. The Ma Po Tufu was mediocre and so I was my hot & sour soup. It's a clean place and I'm not hungry. That's the best I can say. read more

Always order dine out and for the first time we actually dined in! Wow! Service was excellent, food was of course even better than ever! The portions are hearty! The only bad thing I can say that happened was my fortune cookie was fortune less! The server did let me know it is actually good luck to not get a fortune but other than that the atmosphere was nice and welcoming! Will I dine in again... heck yes!!!! read more

Lots food. Nice owner,lots of suggestions and explanations. Hot and fresh. Combos don't come with soup or eggroll. Bummer. But eggrolls were worth the cost. read more

Dancing Dragon Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

NOSTALGIA DISCLAIMER: First, I have lived in Hillsboro my whole life and have eaten here since I was a kid. Second, I love American Chinese in general and this place is a great example of it. With that being said, since Dancing Dragon was remodeled due to fire a few years back this place has stepped up its game. The food has always been good but it's better now than before. No, it's not authentic Chinese...there are places for that...but they do American Chinese right. The eggrolls are great! Big, crunchy, and taste the way they should (like the fair). The Foo Yung is my personal Favodite and it's great The fried shrimp are big and always well done The fried rice...it's the whole reason we eat American Chinese to begin with! So, if you are looking for that tasty hit of American Chinese, this is the right place! read more

Dancing Dragon Restaurant - Festive lobby shot :) - Chinese Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

I have been to this restaurant many times since 2000. In all my years eating there I have never experienced the food tasting so horrible. The last time I was there was to celebrate someone's birthday and the food was decent even though it was a large party. But this time around not so much. The order was greasy, no flavor. It wasn't what it cost that upset me it was the lack of detail to the food. read more

This might be the worst Chinese restaurant in metro Portland. It won't kill you, but the flavors are bland and the cooking, recipes, and presentation are just *awful*. read more

Absolutely amazing food, great dining experience as well. Employees were nice and made sure we were taken care of and happy with our service. Decent prices and food tasted great! read more

I don't see why there are mediocre reviews here, this place has been totally amazing during the pandemic. My go-to order is the mar far chicken with a side of sweet and sour sauce. The mar far chicken tastes fresh, with visible pieces of green onion in the batter. I've ordered takeout from here several times recently and the food is always piping hot, crispy, and fresh. This is classic American Chinese food, and it totally hits the craving when I want something sweet, fried, or salty. I also order delivery from these guys via Postmates and it's somehow still warm and crispy when it arrives. read more

Been coming here for over 10 years and it will always be my go to Chinese spot! I love their egg rolls and they have the BEST subgum chow main ever! the service is always so kind and quick! Please don't be discouraged by the other reviews I drive all the way from deep SE Portland just to come here! Definitely in my top 10 favorite places. read more

Very good old-school Chinese food. The egg foo young was some of the best I've had anywhere.

Great food, food prepared quickly. Really enjoy the soups! Friendly staff that is eager to help.

My fiancé and I have been searching all over Beaverton and Hillsboro for good Chinese. We both grew up not far from here but had our favorite home town Chinese restaurants. We haven't found anything like them until we tried Dancing Dragon. Sure the place needs a facelift, but the service was prompt, and the food was just what we were looking for. Only complaint was that the egg flower soup needed a little bit of salt as it was bland. But everything else was tasty! We will be back. read more

The food is great but only get it to go. The female server is completely rude. We asked for a drink menu and were told 'full bar'. Asked for a drink and got attitude 'we don't have that, we are no Japanese.' Still refused to bring a drink menu and said 'you are fine with water then'. No we weren't intoxicated or rude. Just tried to get a menu and she acted like it was an imposition to tell us what drinks she had. I tried asking for 'beer, wine, spirits' menu and again was told full bar which gave us no indication. She was short and rude to the two of us. I won't come in again and if the food wasn't so good, I just wouldn't even order it to go. read more

So my go to Chinese restaurant used to be (and still is) Good Taste Noodle House. Unfortunately not many places are open past 9 pm and since this was my only option for Chinese i figured i would roll the dice...***Disclaimer*** I was reluctant to do this. Two stars on Yelp made me worried, but sadly i rolled SNAKE EYES...horrible. My wife wanted beef fried rice. I decided to follow suit and got the pork fried rice as well. We got egg rolls and (one of the only positive reviewed items)crab puffs. Where should i start. The fried rice was mediocre. The rice was more steamed and the textures between tbe pork and the veggies and the rice was negligible. The egg rolls were kind of odd. They were kind of tempura fried, but the filling was just mushed together on the inside. And tbe crab puffs were anything but "puffy". They were too thick almost tasting stale and there was hardly any crab filling to be found. Sometimes when you have a feeling you should go with it. This meal was forgettable and i am going to forget about this restaurant. Maybe i will make a trip to Good Taste for lunch tomorrow. read more

Worst chinese ive ever had. Didnt even bother taking left overs. It was edible, but no where near good. Very bland, couldnt even eat until i was full. Will never go back! Prices and service was fine. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid so late 80's/ early 90's. Love the food and love the staff. Always plenty of seating and portions are awesome. Love the hot and sour soup. I prefer this place over the very common chain Chinese food in the area. read more

My dad wanted to eat here because his mom used to make Subgum Chicken Chow Mein and when he saw they had the same dish on their menu, he decided we should try it. I doubt we will ever be back or recommend it. I'll start with mine. I had the Sesame Chicken. I have never had Sesame Chicken where the sesame seeds were inside the "egg" batter. It sounded interesting, so I thought I would give this alternative a try. The batter was not great. I prefer it a bit more egg so it's crispier. This was on the bready side. But, with sesame seeds inside the batter, it created a weird texture and disappointing mouthfeel. It especially discomforting to feel the breading slide down while swallowing and actually being able to feel the graininess of the seeds inside bread. My Sesame Chicken did not come with any sauce. Always before, it's accompanied by a golden and/or brown sweet sauce. Instead, the served the normal red-colored sweet sauce. That was disappointing, too. I like the sweetened chicken broth, vinegar, and sugar sauce that it normally comes with. My pork fried rice was good, but the pork pieces were so tiny, I couldn't even bite them. I also had the BBQ Pork Soup. The base soup was bland. The BBQ pork pieces were very dry and chewy. My dad's Subgum Chicken Chow Mein had very little sauce and not very much chicken. He was very saddened when he realized this was not even close to his expectations for a favorite dish his mother made. Dad also had the Hot and Sour Soup and said the flavor of that was neither hot nor very sour. As I said before, I don't think we'll return. It was just too disappointing and the flavors were very, very mild. read more

Avoid at all costs. I really wanted some American-Chinese food - the greasy, almond chicken with gravy, not the stir fry, veggie-laden almond chicken you find around here, so we came to Dancing Dragon. I got my chicken and the gravy was fine but the chicken was terrible. The chicken was hard and tough - like those gross ends of a chicken breast after you defrost it in the microwave - only all of it was like this. My daughter's noodles tasted like they'd been cooked in old, burnt oil. I will never come back here. read more

The food was really good ! & super fresh definitely a good American Chinese food place to go to

I was surprised to see so many bad reviews for this place. Showed up around 6PM. We were seated quickly, the order was taken quickly and the meal showed up quickly. The fare was pretty standard for a Chinese restaurant in the USA. Had the kung pao which was surprisingly very spicy. The portions were generous and tasty at a reasonable price. No complaints. We'll be back. read more

Cheap food, but tasted terrible! Mongolian beef does not taste as it should. It's really beef with tomatoes (what????), bean spouts, and green onion. No red peppers, or taste like true Mongolian beef. Don't waste your time, not worth it. read more

I was looking for a place similar to my favorite Chinese restaurant growing up and this place didn't disappoint! I got the vegetable egg foo yung and it was exactly what I was looking for, if not better. The serving was huge and I couldn't even finish half of my meal. I also felt like the prices were very fair. The server was very friendly, and when I was done, he offered to box up my food for me. Overall a great experience and I can't wait to come back! read more
