Dry chewy flavorless sesame tofu
Sam B.

Had the worse Chinese food here. Being vegetarians we ordered the sesame tofu and General Tso's tofu. Both were tasteless and the tofu was overfried, chewy and dry. The Broccoli in garlic sauce was the worse we have ever eaten. Broccoli was completely raw and thrown into a brown tasteless sauce. Think they forgot to cook it in the sauce. The vegetable Lo Mein was definitely pasta and had no vegetables at all. To make matters worse everything was really oily! Sorry but not sure how this restaurant gets all the great reviews. We did call them and let them know about the poor quality. They offered to have us bring the order back and redo our order, but we opted not to take them up on that offer. Got a pizza instead and threw all the Chinese food in garbage.

There is a girl that loves this place so much, she got a tattoo of it. Then they made a movie about her. "The Girl With The Dragon City Tattoo." I call this place "Dragon Pity", because I really wanted to like it, but I just don't. In all honesty, it's a 2 or 3 star place for me, but (a) the service is really nice, unlike some Chinese places in the area (cough cough Peking Quick One China King Golden Wok cough cough), (b) the prices are incredible, some of the deals are even better than rival Chinese joints, with just $3 for Crab Rangoon and just $7 for generous combos, and then (c) it's in an area that doesn't have any really good Chinese... all the best ones are up in Amherst. Unfortunately the area still doesn't have any good Chinese, because this place really isn't good. I guess it's "standard", but it's also hyper-sweet, so unless you like your Chinese food with a hefty dose of maple syrup, stay away. Then again, most of you reading this are Americans, so syrupy sweet might be right up your proverbial alley. (hugs) The Shrimp Curry was one of my least faves that I've had in town. It was mostly veggies, it wasn't very wet, the rice was average, and there were probably only 3 shrimp in the whole thing. It was basically veggie curry with a couple of shrimps added as garnish. I wouldn't order it again. The dirt cheap Crab Rangoon tasted of nothing at all to me but sugar. If there is a "sugary honey flavour cream cheese" out there somewhere, I think they used it inside these crab rangoons. So I don't recommend this Chinese place at all, but I think they're lovely people with great prices in a sleepy area that needs more late night stuff, so I'll give them a 4 because even though I don't like it, you may well. And it has nice decor and is clean and a sweet place to sit and eat. I'm really sorry that I had to rag on Dragon. At least they don't use Ragu. Then they'd have to change the name to Ragu City.

So glad a Chinese take out place made it to the area. It's right across the street from my shop, so my employees and I were very excited to try Dragon City. We ordered crab Rangoon which was the BEST I have ever had! I ordered the sesame chicken lunch special and my employee had the chicken w broccoli, both were very delicious! When I went in to pick the food up, of course because it brand new it is super clean! They also have about 8 tables that sit 4 people each, so if you want to dine in, you can. We look forward to ordering from here often!

Typical layout for Chinese take-out.

Dragon City fills a much noted void in this area for Chinese take-out / dine-in. The menu, dishes and pricing are typical for WNY and service - during their Grand Opening - is swift and polite. They have a lunch specials menu of over 25 items (served 11-3) for only $4.65 as well as combo platters (with fried rice and an egg roll) for $6.95. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken combo which came out within 5 minutes. It was hot, tasty and fresh although the chicken pieces were a little on the large size. It's hard to be dainty with your chopsticks. The egg roll was hot but had far too much oil in it. I'm most likely going to skip that on my next order. The restaurant seats about 36 and the guys behind the counter are energetic and enthusiastic. Good location for Dragon City. Welcome to the community.

Golden Hill Asian Cuisine - C49. Orange Chicken on the provided white rice, with an egg roll and crab rangoon on our plate at home.  Delicious

Golden Hill Asian Cuisine

Finally had the chance to dine in. Walked in at 1:45pm on a Monday and there was soft music playing…read morein the dining room. I was seated and immediately served complimentary tea, and fried wontons with sweet and sour sauce. I ordered the Kung Pao lunch special which comes with a choice of egg roll or soup, and white or vegetable friend rice. I chose the wonton soup and fried rice, and I ordered an egg roll as well. The egg roll came out quickly, and the lunch special was served right when I finished that. The food was good and the dish was spicy (Kung Pao is supposed to be spicy but it never is-- not for me) and the service was polite. When the check came it was accompanied by a plate with two slices of orange and a fortune cookie. The only thing I didn't like about the visit was that there was an advertisement for a big commercial law firm on the back of the fortune slip and the "lucky number" was the phone number. I thought that was tacky. I walked out at 1:15pm. Great, quick lunch.

Nice people, good food, pleasant atmosphere: because I can never decide which is more important,…read morethey are equally important factors when rating a restaurant. Golden Hill has all three. And a lunch menu. Wow! I just gave my receipt another look and the people are nicer than I thought. I thought they were pleasant, friendly, happy we were there, concerned that we would enjoy our visit. The lunch menu offerings were each $10.95 and included eggroll OR soup, and white or vegetable fried rice. Daughter ordered the Eggplant in Garlic Sauce with eggroll and white rice, plus an appetizer order of steamed dumplings. I ordered Eggplant with Pork in Garlic sauce with eggroll and white rice, plus a small bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. The soup on the appetizer menu was $3.95. My receipt shows the server put the soup as my lunch choice and charged $2.95 for the eggroll. She never said a word, didn't point out that I could save a dollar by switching the sides around. So the people are all I thought plus kind and conscientious. Marvelous. I was delighted with everything I ate. The entree was enough for two, so supper came home with me. The eggroll was fresh and crisp and non-greasy, seemed homemade. Excellent. The eggplant was perfectly prepared and cooked, as was the pork. Delicious. The hot and sour soup was easily one of the best I've had, and I'm always looking for a great hot and sour soup. Coming from downtown Buffalo, we'd been in Williamsville because I had an appointment on Essjay Rd. Afterward, we looked for a place to have lunch before shopping. Finding Golden Hill at 4001 Sheridan Dr. in Amherst was pure serendipity. You can bet, though, that I will visit again after next appointment.

We've been back to Golden Dragon twice very recently and were quite happy with most items. The menu…read moreis huge, so we expect we'll find a lot more to like. Their lo mein is totally different than when they first opened and I love it now. I got beef the first time, but it comes with very little, so I opted for vegetable the second time. Not a lot of vegetables throughout (mostly on top, as you can see in the photo), but it was really delicious! Both times the lo mein noodles were the perfect firmness and had great flavor. I want it again and again! Matt didn't enjoy his sesame beef. The batter is too thick, and the beef gets completely lost. I like that they will do sauce on the side. We like to toss it ourselves last minute so that it doesn't get soggy. Better for leftovers, too. They do charge an extra $1.50, but they give you a lot of the sauce. The wonton soup is amazing! A small is only $3.95 and it comes with five big pork wontons. Makes me happy because I get wonton soup cravings. I'll definitely be getting this again. The General Tso's Chicken is spot on. The pork egg rolls are good, your typical egg roll. The crab rangoons are also quite good. Their prices are great and the service has always been friendly. I'm so glad we tried again, they're really close by, makes it very convenient. We're definitely going to be frequently returning regular customers. Thanks Golden Dragon!!

I'm so freaking happy! I had never heard of Crystal Asian Cuisine before last night. We stumbled…read moreacross them because it was pretty late for dinner and our regular Chinese food place was closed. Crystal stays open until 1 am! They open at 4 pm, just an fyi. We got a bunch of stuff and everything was delicious. Literally the best beef lo mein I've had since I moved here six years ago. I've been just settling with it at other places so this was an exciting discovery! We also ordered sesame shrimp. It wasn't like other sesame dishes we've gotten. It was a pink sauce that was similar to sweet and sour, but it was very good and the shrimp were large and plump and cooked perfectly. We tried their fried dough just on a whim and it's like nothing I've had before... it's a nice little add on for $3.50. They have American Chinese and also authentic dishes, which is fun. Prices are in line with other Chinese food restaurants and portions are pretty generous. We'll definitely be back...like, hopefully very soon!

When you pull up to the restaurant, it doesn't look like much. You might even think it's closed (I…read moredid). But go inside and enjoy some delicious Chinese food and extremely reasonable prices. The service is friendly and super fast, and the portions are huge. I only had their American style Chinese food, but they also had a large menu of authentic Chinese cuisine on the weekend. The interior is simple but very clean, with lots of booths. I highly recommend Crystal Asian for great Chinese food!
