    "A close knit family is beyond measure"
    Barry Y.

    As you can see, Dragon Bowl is a small traditional Chinese restaurant. Their menu is extensive, spanning approximately five pages. They have specials for lunch and dinner. The kitchen is lightning fast, and the orders were all accurate. If you order from the regular menu, the portions are huge. If from the specials, they are more than adequate. The wait staff will listen to your requests, then be very clear about what they think you should do. Chicken Orange Flavor was listed as a spicy food. I asked if it was sweet, or if they could make it hot but without any sweetness. It was very clear that if I did not want sweet, I should order something else. I did. Pepper Steak from the Luncheon Special included soup. On the same plate as the main course was a spring roll, fried rice, and a fortune cookie. The Pepper Beef's vegetables were cooked to a tender crisp. The beef was of very good quality. Please ask if you like your food spicy hot. They have chili oil, and it appears they make it themselves. It's good and hot. The happy ending to the meal comes in two parts. Please see the message that was in my fortune cookie. The second part is there was no extra charge for dining with a party of 12. I don't know why they should not get five stars. Great food, fast service, clean restrooms and reasonable prices. They deserve five stars. ,

    Came here on a Monday date night for the first time. Nice quaint Chinese restaurant located in a very large shopping center. Enough parking for 300+ cars as the parking lot is shared with other businesses. There is no shaded parking so you'll be parking in the hot Phoenix sun during the day. There is a Dollar Tree and Little Caesars Pizza a few doors down. There is a nice peaceful romantic vibe inside this place. The decor is a soft red theme with Asian art along the walls. Heard some great songs playing lightly in the background: Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, and other easy listening music. We came hungry so we ordered the following: Mapo tofu with pork. This was delicious, the tofu was very soft so if you like firm tofu than you should tell them to cook it a little longer. Overall flavor was lightly sweet and pork was portioned perfectly. Thai Curry Chicken. This dish was amazing, classic full curry flavor that is mild with a non spicy kick, just full of real authentic curry flavor. Pieces of chicken generously mixed with green bell peppers and onions. Side of fried rice. Freshly made rice full of flavor and not overly salty. Pot of white rice. Hot, fresh, fluffy and added great balance to the rich flavors of the entree dishes. Half roast duck. This was the highlight of the meal. Tender, moist, and cooked evenly throughout. My only feedback is that I would have enjoyed it more if it was more crispier. I'd say it was probably 30% crispy and not fully crispy all over. Served with hoisin dipping sauce. Bbq pork buns. White fluffy cake like buns with a yummy pork filling inside. Came with 4 pieces in one order. Highly recommend this place. Service was prompt and friendly, no mistakes were made with our order. We will come back for sure. Also, the best part is the prices are very reasonable. They do have a very extensive menu with vegetarian options. We clearly ordered enough food for 4 people between just me and my wife and our check was a little over $60. Took some leftovers home to enjoy. Truly a feel good meal experience!!

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu. I also want to try their happy hour that's available everyday from 4-7PM. All the food items are only $7 and variety looks amazing.

To be clear, I am a New Yorker and know good fast Chinese food. The ambiance was promising. It looked like I was finally going to find what I've been looking for in Phoenix for years. For whatever reason, Chinese restaurants in Arizona serve egg hockey pucks and cover it with various items and call it egg foo young. I even asked about it before I ordered it. Alas when I got home and saw what I had, I was disappointed. It's faster to make it this way but the egg hockey puck had no taste - zero. They could have at least added oyster sauce, a little soy sauce, maybe nam plah, and perhaps sesame oil. It was tasteless. A complete miss. I also ordered something simple, shrimp spring rolls. They were delicious! I inhaled them and will order them again. I'd go again just for the spring rolls. Maybe they have other dishes that are good and I may not entirely give up but the egg foo young is a no go.

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

We started with the creamy, coconut-infused Yam Mamuang Boran (green mango salad), and food came FAST from there. Some standouts for me included: - Ba Mee Moo Dang (BBQ pork egg noodles) - Pla Rad Prik Sam Rot (fried branzino) - Tom Kha Gai (coconut chicken soup) - Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (wide rice noodles) All of these had a beautiful balance of acidity, savoriness, spice, and herbs in one dish with tender meat. But everything together really hit well. For example, the bok choy was a light break between super savory curries and fried wings (HUGE fan of the marinade on these). I also enjoyed getting to share dishes I wouldn't normally order a la carte, like the Naw Tawt (fried bamboo). The staff members made sure to ask about allergies and spice tolerances and thoroughly explained each dish as it was served. We actually ended up paying slightly less than the estimated $55/person for 12 dishes (before drinks) -- and we realized we got an extra serving of the chicken wings at no charge.
