Yesterday I really wanted some good Chinese. I've been out of the tri-state area for a while and frankly, the Chinese up here just hits different. Dragon 168, does NOT disappoint. I ordered a Pu-Pu platter, Wonton soup and Hunan Shrimp. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious!! The shrimp was jumbo and plentiful. Hunan sauce was seasoned to perfection. The fried items in the appetizer were crispy and NOT greasy. The service was great, my order was ready when I arrived. The place is a take out so ambiance was irrelevant to me. Every "true foodie" knows that some of the best spots are a "hole in the wall"! I'm checking out the menu right now for their lunch specials. Not for today because I've got LEFTOVERS! YES!!! read more

Best Singapore Mi Fun in CT. Ambience is pretty much nonexistent but they are a lovely little family run place

First time here and the reviews are NOT kidding: this place is TINY! It's so small that the customer waiting to place their order behind me needed to wait for me to come out of the store to get in. I won't be coming back however as the food was insipid and bland. Broccoli was undercooked; the steamed dumplings were very overcooked to the point they were swollen and watery, while the pork filling was VERY bland. The sesame chicken combo was mediocre are best: not very crunchy, and not a very strong flavor. The fried rice was very underseasoned and needed soy sauce to taste close to what it should be. Nothing wrong with trying something different but I won't be coming back. read more

Delivery service was great and faster than expected! Good taste was wonderful and quantity was slightly better than then expected. Will order from Dragon 168 and their delivery service again. read more

Dragon 168 - Steak and Pepper Steak with Onion - Chinese Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Unfortunately, Dragon 168 was mediocre at best. Ordered General Tso's chicken, chicken with mixed vegetables, and pan fried dumplings. Both chicken dishes were extremely lackluster with absolutely no flavor. I was shocked to say the least given the amazing reviews this place has. I expected thicker, flavorful sauce but the dishes were extremely watery and lacking taste. The dumplings were good and they give you a TON for the price but it was just too much. The dumplings themselves were gigantic and just fall apart if you can't stuff the entire thing in your mouth at once. I felt like the dumplings were a full meal. Rice was just okay. I'm pretty bummed because I wanted to like this place a lot. read more

I find it really hard to find some real good Chinese food in the Fairfield area and have tried multiple places. Because of this I've always been skeptical when my friends want Chinese food; however, I am super glad that I found Dragon 168 on yelp. This place has a very tiny parking lot shared with other stores so keep an eye out when looking because you might drive right past it. The store is really small and has one table with a couple chairs. My friend and I stayed just because we were so hungry but it seemed like most people ordered it just for takeout anyway. The staff was very friends and the food was great! I ordered sesame chicken and my friend ordered sweet and sour chicken. I was pleasantly surprised when I started eating and am happy that I decided to give this place a try. If you're looking for Chinese food, come here! read more

Only take out, but if you want a feel of NYC style Chinese this is the place. The food is top notch and always delicious. The staff is really nice and accommodating to the wifes gluten allergies. Its just a walk in and pick up so no ambiance but the do have 1 table you can sit at if you really wanted to. read more

Very good Chinese food. Love their egg rolls and fried wontons. Meaty general tso's chicken.

Our go to takeout Chinese place for nearly 15 years. Their fried rice isn't overly oily like most of the places in town. Lunch specials are a good deal. Several places on Black Rock turnpike are, let me say, a bit disgusting, 168 is solid basic Chinese fare if you need the craving for Chinese. In fact some folks I know come from the other side of town to get their food... read more

Amazing Chinese. I am not familiar with Fairfield. So when I tried this spot. I was blown away. Great food, I have never been disappointed. My go-to. Really good!! read more

Ordered take out tonight and had an amazing dinner with fresh veggies and sauce on the side, exactly what I wanted! The chicken fried rice was also perfect! I love this neighborhood place we have. read more

Dragon 168 is our go to Chinese food source and we have been going there for years. The owners are very pleasant and we have watched their kids grow up. They are now going to some great colleges. We love seeing the American dream in action. The food is ready typically in 15 minutes, so don't lallygag at home if you like you food hot! The food is generally very good, but there have been a few letdowns over the years, but we continue to visit there regularly. Friday nights are usually the best night of the week for us. I have had the best Peking Duck ever. Their homemade hot sauce is a staple at our house. Yes, I would recommend them for fast and tasty Chinese food. I would whole heartily recommend them read more

It's alright. Cheap eats. Price matches quality. Tasty. Fast service. I recommend. Menu as of July 2021. read more

The best Chinese food in Fairfield, CT. . .

Out-standing Chinese food take-out! The food is delicious and the owners of this establishment are lovely. My personal favorite dishes are Shrimp with Broccoli and Moo Shu chicken. Generous portions and very reasonably priced. read more

Great food and wonderful people. I like the Hunan Shrimp, Chicken with Chinese Vegetables, and Hot and sour soup

I ordered general Tao chicken, over done, dry out. Also order pork fry dumplings that are suppose to cooked in a Frying pan not in a fryer. Threw the meal out. Won't be back! read more

I don't particularly like Chinese food in this area. At least, I didn't, until my husband finally convinced me to try Dragon 168. Here's the thing; it's this tiny takeout place that looks so nondescript, you might not even notice it if you aren't looking for it. But when you find it, oh boy! First, the food itself is fresh and delicious. The meats they use in their dishes are all delectable and distinct. And they do not skimp at all. You get a container of wonton soup and it is filled to the brim with delicious wontons, then topped with yummy broth and fresh scallions. You get pork fried rice, and it's completely packed with chunks of tasty pork. And I could happily make a meal out of their spring rolls and vegetarian hot and sour soup alone! Their prices are extremely reasonable, too. I'm always surprised by the quality to cost ratio when we order! The best thing? This is a local family business, and everyone is super friendly. I can't get enough! Definitely check them out when you're looking for good Chinese food. read more

This place is quick, consistent, and friendly. I think their Lo Mein and Fried Rice are the best out of all the Chinese in this area. The menu is huge and they do a ton of business, which must mean they're doing something right. They're also open a lot later than most places in Fairfield. Takeout only. read more

This is my go to food. This is best Chinese takeout place in Fairfield black rock area. I like their shredded chicken in garlic sauce. Their soups are good as well. read more

Ahhh, my dear Dragon 168. How often you are forgotten because you are tucked away, but fear not, because you are always in my heart. Just so you know, I am generally weary about trying yet another Chinese take-out place. Many have been sub-par if not downright awful. The first time I came here was by accident or maybe by fate. My coworker told me about a Dragon 168 in another town (which btw, I found, and was NOT too please with at all), but good thing the Take-Out Food Gods nudged me into this one first. This place is small, no seating except for the two chairs in the corner, for those awaiting their orders. Although, on my first visit, the owner did put out a little fold-able table next to the two chairs for me and my bf. He was very nice and pleasant. Since then, I've ordered many a times for take-out. There are lots of yum-things on the menu. My favorites are sweet & sour pork, sesame chicken, mixed-vegetables with tofu and their fried rice. Be forewarned, the fried rice ain't fancy, but it's tasty. I never worry about the quality because it's always been fresh. Give this place a try for lunch if you've never been. They have really good specials! read more

Dragon 168 is a small but busy Chinese restaurant in a nice location. If you're in Fairfield, you can't be more then a few minutes away from this place, which is a good thing since they don't deliver and don't have any space for eating in; this is a take-out only location. Orders can be called in or placed in-person, although I recommend you call it in and give it a good half hour. Menu is pretty extensive and most items are rather tasty, though not the best I've ever had. Restaurant is family owned (so I'm told) and everyone is quite pleasant. Marked down one star for difficult parking (lot is small and awkward) and lack of delivery or dine-in options. read more

As a Californian, it's very impossible to find good egg rolls. Even in the east, it's hard to find good ones. While other dishes were merely satisfactory, the egg rolls were very good. Also worth noting: good prices. read more

Talk about a hole in the wall I would never have known about without Yelp. Holy hole. Prices are dirt cheap. The general tso's had a weird tabasco flavor to it, but my chicken and veggie dish was incredibly flavorful - though sauce too watery. Given these prices and the fact that flavor was pretty good - worth a try! read more

We love Dragon, Like many we watched the kids grow up, Mike and Kitty are great people! Oh yes the food is the best. Every Friday we enjoy our staples of Hunan Chicken, General Tao (white meat only), Hot and Sour as well as Wonton. Couple of Egg Rolls and we have dinner and lunch the next day. read more

The best Chinese takeout ever!!! The sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, dumplings, pork fried rice, and the egg rolls are probably the best things there. They're almost always open, even late at night and always super efficient. There's not much of a wait, so that's a plus too! 太好了！ read more

We've been here several times and never been disappointed, but we'd always gone for the same simple things (soup, dumplings, lo-mein). This time we decided to try something new and got the Bao Bao platter (pu pu in many places) and the Sub Gum Wonton entree. So glad we did! The appetizer platter had Crab Rangoons that my wife loved and I can't comment on because she took them all, but everything else in it was great. The spare ribs were meaty and tender, the chicken wings and fried shrimp were crispy, and the steak skewers were delicious. The Sub Gum Wonton dish with shrimp, chicken, beef and mixed veggies in a rich sauce was chock full of value--not a lot of filler with one piece of each type of meat the way some places do. The place is small and not designed for dine in so we will still occasionally go other places if we are dining out for table service, but we won't just rely on this for simple take-out any more. Dine in quality at take out convenience and prices. Fantastic! read more

Decided to order from Dragon, and glad we did! The Spring rolls were crispy, filled with savory cabbage and vegetables - delicious! We tried the fried chicken wings, large portion, done to perfection! We had the steamed wonton in broth, very flavorful, tender and good! Compared to other Asian/Chinese take-out in the area, "Dragon," is VERY reasonable! We WILL be back! read more

I don't know why everyone loves this place. I have been dying for a good Chinese place. I've tried this take out quite a few times and I find it like most other chinese take out...too sweet, too gelatinous and too quickly prepared. None of the food tastes like it was cooked in a searing wok. The chicken and broccoli we got was surely precooked...probably steamed...and then it was just topped with a sauce. The veggies in garlic sauce was a combo of vinegary and sweet. Veggie lo mein and fried rice were tasteless. Too bad because the owner seems so nice. My hunt continues... read more

Keeps getting better and better! The boneless spare ribs are magnificent. Sesame shrimp very tasty with jumbo shrimp. String beans nice and crispy. A Fairfield institution. Michael is great. We watched the kids grow up. read more

We love eating here! This is definitely our go to meal weekly! The owners are wonderful, and always are lovely to chat with while waiting for food. read more

Very underwhelming. The breading on the general tsaos was thick and soggy. The dumplings were huge with a very thick outside. The fried rice wasn't fried rice at all, seemed like white rice that they seasoning and little pieces of pork in. Would not go back. read more

It's never good when you open the first box of food and a hair is sitting on your lo mein

Pros: Quick, cheap, & DELICIOUS!!! I work across the street and have only a half hour for lunch. I rarely have a chance to call Dragon 168 with more than 5-10 minutes notice. By the time I walk across the street and pay, my food is in my hands. I love this place. When I move to another location for my job I will be very sad to no longer have such a convenient and great food place to go to for lunch. Cons: NONE!!! read more

While I like their food, I've had a few occasions where I've had weird reactions after eating it which makes me think they use a lot of MSG. If you are MSG sensitive, you may want to look elsewhere for Chinese food. read more

One of the best Chinese food I've ever had!! Everything I have tried is good so far! I tend to be sensitive to Chinese food sometimes but this place does NOT make me sick. Wish they did delivery though parking kind of stinks! read more

Good, quick take out. Asked them not to use soy sauce in my dishes bc I'm gluten free & it was still very good.

Best takeout for Chinese in Fairfield!! This is what real Chinese food tastes like! Great flavor and great prices! I'll definitely be back :) read more

Love the customer service! Great take out Chinese! I love their dumplings and well as the shrimp fried rice. Moving here from the city thought I was never going to find a good Chinese food spot, so glad we did and so close to home read more
