Solid Choice for a Quick & Tasty Meal! I can't speak to the interior ambiance of Dragon 89 since I opted for takeout, but I can definitely vouch for the food and the speed! Here's the deal: The Food: Really good. Everything was fresh and hit the spot. The Service: Incredibly efficient. They clearly have their system down. The Convenience: This is the perfect "in a pinch" spot. If you're on the go or pressed for time, they'll get you fed without the wait. I'll most certainly be coming back. If you need a reliable, fast meal that doesn't sacrifice quality, give them a shot! read more

Very good Chinese food for the price. Hard to find something better on the UWS in this price range. We ordered directly from the website instead of using a 3rd party delivery service, as other Yelpers have said the prices are a few dollars cheaper on their website and they throw in a free order of general Tsos chicken on purchase of $45+ We HIGHLY recommend the scallion pancakes, very crispy and flavorful and comes with an also flavorful sauce The spring rolls were also good but the scallion pancake was better if you're torn between the two. The Tofu with mixed vegetables was also very tasty, a good portion of vegetables and tofu. The beef fried rice was good,my bf liked it a lot, it has a good smoky flavor, but I would prefer if it had more vegetables. The only dish that was a miss was the egg drop soup. For $3 I was very tempted and I love egg drop soup, but the flavor was just not there Overall we spent $45 pre-tip and got better, and more food than we would have if we ordered from another Chinese spot on the upper west side read more

Always good food at the Dragon. Can't go wrong with the lunch special general tsos with the wonton soup. I've been looking for good UWS takeout at a good price and it's here! read more

Dragon 89 - Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Thanks to Yelp, I found this new takeout place right by my sons apartment. Solid Chinese food on The Upper West Side. Order online or at the kiosk inside. A couple of small tables if you want to eat in but it's mostly takeout. Located on 89th and Amsterdam. This is a small family owned place with friendly service, good food and reasonable prices. Ordered a quart of Wonton Soup and it was packed with delicious wontons and a nice broth. Seafood Combination was a nice sample of Shrimp, Scallops, and crab in a light white sauce with a lot of fresh vegetables. The dish was huge and easily shareable. Food was so good I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. read more

Yuck! The scallion pancakes were thick and tasteless. And the dumpling skins were also thick and tasteless. At least the filling was edible. Non-Chinese may find it acceptable. Even my cat wasn't interested. read more

First time ordering from Dragon 89 and I like it! They have their own online order page so I can avoid the gouging that Grubhub does on the price of every item. General Tso's is a whole $2 more on Grubhub than on Dragon 89's website. And they take Apple Pay. Not only is it cheaper, the portions are larger than my regular Chinese spot. It seemed like my Beef & Broccoli was becoming Broccoli, a little bit of Beef, & More Broccoli. I get all the standard dishes plus some new ones. The broth in the Wonton Soup is decent, and the Beef & Broccoli didn't have any gristly bits. It was perfect. Delivery was fast and my order was piping hot. Dragon 89 is my new go-to Chinese spot. read more

New found gem, love it and 100% recommend it they definitely deliver good asian food. Try it and thank me later

This is only for DELIVERY : first ; I am excited to have a new Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood,other than the "Monopolized" one further up..I called very early in the day and was greeted warmly. I probably was the first customer because I called exactly when they opened. She took my order and told me it would be around 30 min...I got a generous amount of food..ordered the lunch special. My dumplings weren't fried hard enough ; but It was tasty..my order was under nineteen bucks..the price of food has went up and you can see via their menu ..or I'm probably just stuck in time..where four chicken wings were under five dollars ..just a new edition to my neighborhood..nothing too special thus far.. read more

Dragon 89 - Lunch special General Tso's Chicken Fried Shrimp Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - New York, New York

Well. We had a complex order because of allergies. The attention paid to that part of the meal was fantastic. This gave the restaurant so many points in my book and could overwhelm any problem. I was sold on how clean the place is and how one can see as they make the food. More points for transparency The group tried the food. Silence. The kind that occurs when the food is that good. Special shout out for the sweet and sour shrimp. The shrimp was fried but not drenched. Coating generous but not too much and the sauce worked. Loved the dumplings and one of the party are a whole serving We will return and soon. What a lovely little place for pick up. read more

Food is fresh and taste amazing but the portions are very very small. My two year old ate a chicken and broccoli order with white rice on his own. It cost $9.25 for it and he literally ate it alone. So always go with the large. Very quick service though, also the kiosk machine got a different price than the store menu so beware. read more

Ordered several things from 89. The chicken and eggplant was good. But the moo shu pork had an odd burned flavor. The hot and sour soup broth was pretty watery and the soup lacked much flavor. The scallion pancakes were just ok. Over, a disappointing meal. Also, even with a $50 order they do not throw in an extra dish. read more

The food was honestly perfect. I've seen reviews of their food with no flavor here but it's the complete opposite for me and my partner. We've eaten a lot of Chinese food together and I can give this place a vote of confidence that the food is worth it. Get that chicken and broccoli or that spare rib!! read more

This is a new neighborhood gem!! Five stars all around for the high quality of food, the flavors, the speed of preparation, the people who work there, the cleanliness, the low prices, etc. The serving sizes are HUGE... my husband got the Kung Pow Chicken (he ate half then ended up eating the other half late night) and I got the Moo Shu vegetables. I had half last night with all of the wraps, a quarter today for lunch with the rest of the rice and two eggs atop, and the last quarter of the veggies saved for tomorrow. It was all DELICIOUS!!! I have no clue why anyone would give this place less than five stars !!!! We are excited to go back... read more

The best takeout Chinese in the area. Had beef chow fun and shrimp and broccoli...again!!! Always bright green veg( not soggy) and balanced flavors w generous portions. Highly recommend for anyone near by. read more

Food quality is really good need more spice egg rolls were Awfull Dry not tasty Asked for spice And hot one lousy envelope read more

The breading on the orange beef was too thick and soggy. The first piece I bit into was a huge piece of gristle. The order was correct and came quickly. The veggie dumplings were decent. The beef in the beef and string beans was that weird pale beef that almost looks like chicken and had very little flavor. read more

Good food Quick delivery Generous in giving general tso for free if the order is over $45 read more

This is a really good (small) Chinese restaurant that opened near us. They have generous portions for reasonable prices. Their lunch specials are a great bargain. Their service is usually fast. It's a great addition to their neighborhood. read more

They sell rotten food. I ordered 3 wonton soups. They didn't want to refund me my money until. I brung them back their disgusting soup. Their broth smells like bleach. Be careful ordering from them. They are nasty and do not care about the customer. read more

Worst Chinese takeaway. I ordered 3 basic American -Chinese dishes. Cold sesame noodles had virtually no sauce-- not exaggerating-- less than a tablespoon. Wanton soup was like dirty water with tasteless wantons. Mooshoo chicken was swimming in liquid and had awful wraps. Sorry. I was really hopeful when I ordered. read more

I've had the lunch special several times and it was generally quite good. Not the last time. The sauce in the Chicken with Garlic Sauce was very watery and almost tasteless. Very disappointing. Could there have been a change in the kitchen? Ordering via the website for take-out/pickup works well. read more

Great noodle soup. It was clean and had some basic nice decor, so we chose to eat in which I think they were completely surprised about (there are 2 little tables, probably more for waiting)! Generous portions. Good option for Chinese food on the UWS. read more

pretty good for take out food. not the best but certainly worth ordering again. prices are good

Tried for the first time yesterday. Very good value and quality. Impressed and will now be my go to

Very disappointing. Service fee nearly 50% but they didn't even send any duck sauce or soy sauce. Extra charge for egg in fried rice. I paid for it--but no egg. Chicken corn soup flavorless. Cheese wontons don't mention there is crab in them. I'm allergic to crab, so I had to toss it. $51 for a completely unsatisfying meal. read more

Lunch special - amazing deal first of all, $9.25+tax for an entree and soup. Got the general tso chicken and pork lo mein - both really good and the pork fried rice goes above and beyond. More than enough food, fast and hot - everything you want! As a bonus, the scallion pancakes are exceptional. So glad to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

I ordered shrimp fried rice and it was way too simple. It had no eggs, and no vegetables as no peas and carrots added. It just had shrimps and a few bean sprouts and a slice of scallion. I would have appreciated a little more "love" and effort into making this classic Chinese dish ordered to go. Nonetheless, the service was descent and the place looked clean since it is a newly opened business with modern place your own order kiosks and a couple tables with chairs. The prices are good so I would give it a second chance. read more

Takeout. Scallion pancakes good. Broccoli with garlic sauce pretty good. King Pao shrimp was one of the worst Chinese dishes I ever had. Chunks of carrots with a lot of celery and peanuts thrown in.carrots and celery were almost raw. The few shrimp they included were ok but very little flavor. The sauce, such as it was, had zero flavor. It is supposed to be a spicy dish but there was no pepper of any kind. It was ridiculously bland. How in good conscience could they serve this! $17 for a quart and I will compost it. Never again. read more

Hot and sour soup wasn't my favorite. It was Bland. Needed more flavor and spice. Other than that the service was great.

I had the sesame chicken platter when i first got into the city early October. It was horrible. First of all, they forgot my beverage that I paid for and did not place it in my to go bag. Secondly, the sesame chicken was flavorless and not fried hard enough. The fried rice was also bland. Save your money and don't go here! read more

Excellent food. Very fresh. A welcome take out Chinese place in my he neighborhood. Good potstickers, good chicken dishes.

AMAZING FOOD-super fresh, plentiful and good prices. The only bad thing-they use a lot of plastic instead of greener options.
