    I got to try Dragon Cafe today. For a quick Chinese lunch, it's pretty reasonable. I rate these guys higher than Happy Garden on Bel Marin Keys, mainly based on taste. Unlike Happy Garden, Dragon Cafe didn't do the soy sauce overload, making the food much more palatable. Both establishments have pretty meager interiors, it doesn't seem to dissuade Dragon Cafe's customers. The place was filling up pretty quickly by noon. The Lunch specials are priced at around 7 dollars, and come with a bowl of soup.

    Chicken Lo Mein (the chef can make it if you ask!)

    I've been coming here for a long time and have yet to post a review, my family loves to come here and the owners are always so friendly and welcoming. Definitely give it a try next time you are in the area to support this local business!

    To go order- combination chow mien. Had very little beef, chicken and only 1 shrimp. Haven't been back but may try again.

    All of the food we ordered was great, but the salt and pepper shrimp was by far my favorite.

    I'd give a -100 if I could. After being a happy customer here for years, we had an awful experience…read moreyou should know about. On 12/24/25, we couldn't get through their regular phone number quite a few times due to a busy signal. We then placed a Door Dash order at 4:50pm. After the app updating the delivery time several times, the order was suddenly "cancelled by the restaurant." We were really looking forward to our dinner for two hours, so you can imagine our disappointment and scrambling for alternatives on Christmas Eve. We did receive a refund for the exact amount that was charged to the credit card. We had decided to try the restaurant again on 12/31/25. Again, we couldn't get through. So I went in person to place the order to ask why the restaurant cancelled our 12/24/25 order. I've never heard of a confirmed order being cancelled before. They said they "cancel Door Dash orders at 6:30pm. A lot of people were disappointed, too." I said but we had placed our order at 4:50pm. I couldn't understand his reasoning. We decided to never use them again. Despite our terrible inconvenience and decision to never dine here again, we decided to place an order today 12/31/25 at 4:19pm for pick-up in person, so I could ask in person what happened on 12/24/25. They said today's order would take 25-30 minutes. It was ready at 4:37pm. That was redeemable, but we still don't understand what happened on 12/24:25 and don't feel confident that it will never happen again. So I imagine the lesson learned is beware of placing Door Dash orders at this restaurant! See photos for proof of our experience.

    We ordered this via Uber Eats. The delivery is NOT the complaint. The food, however, left a lot to…read morebe desired. No cutlery, no chopsticks (yep, we love them), one packet of soy sauce for three dishes, no napkins, a bunch of fortune cookies (yay), and didn't even fold the crab rangoon. Ok, the food. Mongolian beef- not sure this is beef. Very sure it had NO flavor. Pork (just kidding, they do chicken) fried rice-- bland. Flavorless. Mid, as my kid would say. General Tso's-- why was it mixed with water chestnuts? Why wasn't it spicy? Why was it mushy? What was the green veggie in it?!? Crab Rangoon-- well, crab triangles, because they couldn't be bothered to prepare them properly. Spent over $100 on this crap. But hey, got extra fortune cookies, so guess we should cheer. Yawn. Overall. Gross. Disappointed. And very glad we didn't have to deal with the crappy staff, per the other reviews that I 100% believe. Do better. Or just close this garbage hole up. Two stars, because we included our delivery guy. Otherwise, yeah, -10.

    On the hunt for a decent Chinese restaurant in Marin County that reminds me of home. My friend said…read morehe has been coming to China Village since he was a kid, so I figured why not give it a try. We phoned in for takeout and it took us a couple of times to order because they were busy at the restaurant and it sounded like their daughter tried to answer the phone for the owners. We ordered the house special crispy noodles, Hong Kong style ($13.75) which is his go to and I opted for the Seafood with Tofu Clay Pot ($18.46).We made some rice at home to pair with the clay pot. The house special crispy noodles were great. The noodles were so crispy, even when there was sauce on it, you still had the crunch. It was topped with broccoli, carrot, zucchini, shrimp, mushrooms, beef, Napa cabbage, onion, and bok choy. There was such a large mix of veggies and protein that I did not know where to start. This dish was worth the value and quality. When I have had this at other establishments, it is pretty much dead on in terms of what was in it. The seafood with tofu clay pot was okay. I think I need to dine in next time because it honestly just felt like I was eating the house special crispy noodle without the noodle. I was also thinking there would be more tofu but there was a ton of squid and scallops. Like what my parents would say, a lot of Chinese dishes revolves around similar sauces, so I was not too surprised that it was very close to the crispy noodle. I think I just wished it had something to make it more special and different. Our takeout came with soy sauce packets that we did not use and 2 fortune cookies. Overall, it was okay. I will give them another try, hopefully next time it's not raining and I'll dine in instead.

    This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the county!! I recently moved across town and was sad to…read morelearn that they do not deliver to my home. Today, I had the opportunity to go in person to order and pick up food while my dog was getting groomed next door. I ordered snow white garlic chicken, steamed rice, and egg rolls. While waiting, I got the call that my dog was ready to be picked up. I let them know I'd be back. As I was waking up to take my dog to the car, the lady at the cash register saw me and came running out with my other! That's incredible service!! The food was still piping hot when I got home. That's how close I live, yet I'm one mile out of their delivery zone. That's probably a good thing, because I'll treasure the meals more when I have to "work" to pick it up. Great food, excellent service, and I hope that someday they'll deliver to ALL of Novato.
