Okay this place rocks but it is always empty when I come here I think they do mostly takeout so you will never have to wait for a table! The peanut butter chicken is the best in town it has a really peanut-y flavor and the chicken was very tender! The service was fine but there was only one employee that seemed very rushed and busy. Food took maybe 20 minutes or so? read more

Been coming here for more than a few years, dad's been going for more than twenty years, and mom for even longer. This place is the real deal when it comes to Chinese food and takeout. All the times I have been here, service has always been amazing whether it's quiet or more busy. Then there's the decor: it's beautiful, serene, and my favorite areas are the lanterns that hang and the area that's by the door with the water. All in all, amazing foods, chill place, great owner and all the lovely people there. read more

First time visiting Dragon Cafe and I was pleasantly surprised! This place is super busy with a bunch of customers inside and to-go orders coming through! They have a sushi bar but it wasn't open so it took a little longer to come through the main kitchen. But the place was beautiful and had nice music on! We got 3 special rolls from their large menu of sushi! Hands down best shrimp tempura I have ever had in a roll. The crunchiest piece in every bite and amazing spicy tuna. Our favorite was the Nebraska Husker Roll. The 2011 roll had so much fresh sushi with a ponzu sauce on the side that was perfection. My only complaint was that the eel sauce had zero flavor and that's my favorite sauce usually. So much more to try at this place and definitely will come back for their large Chinese food menu too!

Wow! What a hidden gem! My sister and I chose this as our next sushi place to rate and we were impressed. The variety of the menu is awesome! You must get the 2011 Roll. Trust me! The place is so well decorated, down to the awesome red carpet! Be aware, lunch is busy. We heard the door dash sound multiple times and it took a while to get our rolls out. You get A LOT of food for the price which is always a plus. The place also has Chinese food which I'll definitely try next top. I would say this is a top 5 sushi place for me! read more

Dragon Cafe - Cashew chicken and peanut butter chicken - Chinese Near Me - La Vista, Nebraska

Great food, if you can actually get what you ordered ! We ordered ahead for pickup, and waited at the restaurant over forty minutes from the quoted pickup time. We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt since it was a busy night, but we found out when we got home that we failed to get what we actually ordered. I ordered a chicken and vegetable dish, and received a half full dish with shrimp, celery, and carrots? Called the restaurant only to be told that the person answering could not help us and a manager needed to call us back.. which took another thirty minutes. Said it's a glitch with their online ordering system. Do yourself a favor and call in to order, and bring your patience. read more

Dragon Cafe - Shrimp dish??? - Chinese Near Me - La Vista, Nebraska

Very limited lunch special menu covers sushi only (of questionable freshness). Had two sushi rolls. Their paltry special is 9$ for two small portions of rolls. Other restaurants include salad or soup. This was sub par. No one in restaurant and waited almost ten minutes to order and no one offered a soda refill. Probably won't be back. read more

Stopped by here on a whim after a doctors appointment. It was about 4:00 in the afternoon, so before the dinner rush. There were 2 other tables of people. The server was very pleasant and the food came out quickly. I order hot and sour soup, 4 crab Rangoons, and chicken egg foo young with steamed rice. All of the food was delicious and tasted very fresh. There were 3 huge egg foo young pieces in my ordered, and I was able to finish one. It was very flavorful, and I liked how the sauce came on the side. I would definitely recommend this place, and plan to come back after my next doctor visit! read more

Stopped for a spur of the moment lunch on a Sunday afternoon at two. Not pictures I'd the Hot and Sour Soup, not amazing, but good. The egg roll was really good and fresh, very flavorful. The crag Ragoon was so-so. I'm not a huge fan of crab Ragoons so I'm probably not the best to judge them. My wife did like them, but she likes them everywhere we go. My wife enjoyed her beef and broccoli, a very generous portion. My Shrimp Egg Phoo Young was really good. I like that they serve the sauce on the side. The sauce was very savory. I would definitely order it again. Huge portions as well Overall a really great experience with quality food at an affordable price. read more

The crab Rangoon was amazing but their meat is questionable. I didn't know if I was eating chicken or mystery meat.

I come here a lot and every time I come they never have my food ready on time it says ready at one time and it will be another thirty minutes before it's ready kids are always running in and out of the kitchen I can never tell if this is a daycare or a restaurant never busy but always slow read more

I went here the other day and it took forever to get our food served it was about 2 hours there was only two other customers in there. We got a sushi boat but when it arrived the waitress told us that the fish was still frozen and there was a brown spot on the salmon that didn't look right read more

Dumplings are ok, but likely a previously tiny frozen option. Order a chicken lo mein & a pork lo mein... one of what I got is beef lo mein & the other one can't be determined which white meat?? Of what I got, noodles are very chewy, both dishes taste like seafood, & the beef somehow tastes more like seafood? Some bitter greens, no depth of flavor, no meat or stock flavors read more

Good food and prices. Love their fried rice dishes as well as their soups Always quick read more

Love the food. But there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Let's get in there and eat!! Got the peanut butter chicken, fried chicken, wonton soup, combo fried rice. (Me ands the hubs) they are friendly and the service is awesome. They even have sushi! Love this pal s read more

Been going here since I was twelve and that's a lot of years ago. Fresh Chinese, Japanese and sushi dishes. Service is good and pickup orders are done quickly. IMO the egg rolls are the best in town. Never have had a bad meal from Dragon Cafe. read more

Pretty good prices for chinese food here, was able to get 2 entrees and an appetizer for $25. As far as taste and quality goes, it's definitely average. Ordered chicken and beef fried rice with crab rangoons. I really enjoyed the crab rangoons but the fried rice wasn't anything special. Would definitely try again and would love to try their sushi next time around! read more

Dragon Cafe - 83. Chicken Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - La Vista, Nebraska

Three stars is generous and the only reason I didn't give them two is because last night we had really good food there, however the staff hates their job and is completely lacking in personality. I don't know about you but I'm sick and tired of people that hate their jobs but go to work anyway. I've been going to Dragon Café since the mid-80s and it used to be my absolute favorite place to get Chinese food. Over time the quality has varied greatly ! sometimes it's just not good most of the time it's edible and convenient and occasionally like last night it was really good , except I don't want to be treated like a pain in the ass when I order takeout. I think moving forward we're gonna try to find somewhere else that doesn't hate success and lots of customers. If you hate your job QUIT! read more

Gave this a try; was jonesing for Mongolian Beef. Worst I ever had. I think it might've been the bamboo shoots, but it smelled awful , like dirty sweat sock mixed with outhouse. Somehow it still had no flavor. I was starving, so ate it anyway, but won't again. read more

Yikes. Was starving and saw this place...big mistake. Barely any beef in my beef and broccoli. The broccoli was hard as a rock. The rice was not tasty. Had no flavor. Egg roll tasted like old oil. Was also told 15 min and took 45. No idea why. Never again. read more

My family and I have been customers of Dragon Cafe for over 20 years. My daughter is 25 now and she was in a car seat when we started eating here. The staff are kind and helpful. The food is great! Portions have always been good for the price of the food. I love their Hot and Sour soup, best I have had anywhere else! Not a Sushi fan but have been told it is VERY good! Go on in and give it a try, you will be happy you did!! read more

Amazing I like egg foo young Instead of the standard brown powdered gravy a brilliant ton-KA-tsu sauce came with the order and was amazing Also the chicken in the "foo-young" was not dry and much larger pieces of freshly made chicken (unfortunately a rare thin in Chinese restaurants) Also ordered chicken fried rice Also large pieces of chicken and tender, moist Sushi was good- fresh, always a plus!!! Plainly very good; no, it was some of the best fried rice I have ever had My second visit I tried the cashew chicken Also excellent along with a nice specialty roll (sushi) which was again fresh and very tasty A great surprise for a place I drove by and just randomly decided to try; and I am glad that I did Highly recommended read more

My friend got us take out from here. They made him pay when he showed up to pick up the food, he had to wait an hour and a half after he paid to get our order. At one point during the wait he asked for his money back so he could leave and just eat somewhere else, they refused. He's the nicest person I know and even he couldn't take it. read more

They didn't have the two options we wanted for a beer but other than that, I got the sesame chicken and crab rangoon (4) and let me tell you...*chef's kiss.* So good and even good as leftovers, would recommend! read more

Dragon Cafe - two plates of food on a table - Chinese Near Me - La Vista, Nebraska

Worst place ever. I had take out and first time eating here. Figured I should try it as I live across the st. I ordered the empress shrimp and they described it as jumbo shrimp. All it is, is a shrimp cut in HALF the long way and over coated with batter disguising it making it seem large Once I upload my video to YouTube, I'll attach it to this review. Lastly I found a baby fly in my rice! Stay tuned. read more

This place was great. I'm looking for places to dine at near my home and this one was one of the first I've been to post pandemic. Everything looked clean and sanitized. The server was wearing a mask and gloves and we were all seated following the guidelines of that time. I'll definitely go back next time I'm craving Chinese food. read more

This has been my pretty much only go to Chinese spot for 4 years. The food is fresh, I've seen the staff trimming fresh green beans. Some of my favorites are the egg drop soup, sweet n sour soup, egg roles, potstickers, crab Rangoon, beef and green bean, Mongolian beef, and vegetable entrees. You can make any order spicy. The steak is tender, unlike some Chinese places where you have to chew meat 20x. I love getting the soup by the quart. And the prices are super reasonable. Another bonus, this place is always busy, which to me, means fresh and hot food. read more

This review will be more fun than my last one, considering the experience was pretty good. I went to Dragon Cafe with my father in law - just the two of us. Call it father in law - son in law bonding. Dragon Cafe reminds me of the Chinese restaurants I used to visit when I was a kid. The decorations are all red, gold and gaudy. But, the menu changes that. They have a very extensive variety of items, some you would not expect to see in Omaha, Nebraska. They also have a sushi bar and some Japanese and Korean items on the menu. We started with hot tea and shrimp and vegetable tempura. I had one of the shrimp - the panko was a little thick, but otherwise the shrimp was good. I've never had asparagus tempura before, and it was delightful. Other vegetables included broccoli, carrots and onions. Art ordered a "Happy Family" take-off. It had chicken, beef and shrimp with a variety of Chinese veggies. It was served in a brown sauce that was a little hot and a little sweet. So we wouldn't duplicate meats, I ordered Kung Pao Pork. That was not quite as good - it was kind of bland and the pork was too soft. (Too much MSG?) Both items were marked "spicy", but they really didn't pass that test. All in all though, it was good. We also had steamed rice - both brown and white. The price was right, the service excellent, and the food good. Next time I'm out that way, I do plan to go again. read more

I have been super impressed with this place, and is now one of my favorite chinese stops. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated and has a comfortable relaxing feel to it. The service is fantastic. Soups are wonderful and I love the Hunan Beef. They have these little flavor packed beans in the sauce and they really make the dish. Fresh ingredients tender well prepared meat. Yumm this is a must try if you have not. read more

Great service and the waitress was nice looking git there kinda late in a Fryday night they served us with open arms

Had been going here for years til about a year ago when I stopped in for lunch and food was terrible! Yesterday afternoon I was craving some Triple Delight and my new fave was closed, thought I'd give this place another shot. Mistake!!! I went in to order and the place smelled funny, got home with my order and a third of it was big chunks of near raw mushrooms, tough, stringy chicken & beef and not a whole lot of any other veggies. The 3 little pieces of shrimp were the best part, it was flavorless and greasy. So disappointed especially for what I paid for it!! Never again!!! read more

Awesome food! Every time I order from here they are super fast and always get my order corrrect

I have ordered from here for more than 2 years on and off. I am happy to report a total return to form! I took a break after some unfortunate dishes in the past but my lunch I got today (11/2/18) was fantastic. Everything tasted like I first experienced here and I was completely satisfied with my meal, the portion sizes, and the prices. Wonderful to have this place back on my radar! read more

Dragon Cafe is a really pretty chill place. In and out for lunch in no time! And they also had amazing service. Wish the sweet potato in the sweet potato tempura roll wasn't in such huge chunks so the sweet potato could be cooked through a bit more, long slivers for me please! but it is absolutely my favorite maki roll! Spring rolls were also on point. read more

I would not recommend this place. Chicken is boiled and not trimmed at all. Lots of fat on it. Nothing was seasoned either. The highlight of the meal was the decent ish Crab Rangoon. I will not be returning. read more

I took my out of town relatives to dragon because mings was closed, probably a Sunday. It was my 1st time there. I ordered the triple delight as did one of my relatives, the other ordered sweet n sour chicken. The sweet n sour was okay, the chicken was chunks of white meat chicken. The norm..the triple delight however used a dark meat they claimed was chicken, however it was unedible, a disgusting smelling and even more repulsive texture led us to abandon the entire dish. Whatever it was it wasn't chicken..don't go there!! read more

I will never go back to this location because I found a bug in my food I asked for a full refund and they only wanted to give me a partial refund until I took the actual Chinese food to them and opened it up to show them what I have found they didn't know what to say they were quite embarrassed but I will never be back at this location because of that experience it was awful and every time I drive by the restaurant I honestly feel disgusted read more

I've decided to update my review after having eaten the sushi on a couple more occasions. I must say that, after trying the sushi a few more times, I think the restaurant was better off without it. My wife, friends and I have all noticed a steep drop-off in the quality of the sushi here. I don't know if the sushi was really that good to begin with or if I was just happy to have the all you can eat option. Either way, I can't honestly keep this place at four stars with such mediocre sushi on the menu. Concurrent with the decline in sushi quality, we have all started to notice that the normal meals themselves have also gotten worse over time, as has the service. I still recommend the place, but it seems that it has gone downhill a bit from what I remember it being. read more
