I was excited to try this place. Someone told me to try it but when I called to place my order she made me feel very rushed. she didn't even ask my name or for my phone number. It's a small restaurant that has to go Chinese food. There's not really any tables so don't expect to sit down. I got the spring roll and which wa really an egg roll. still delicious. then the orange chicken. I didn't enjoy the orange chicken. It was almost like boneless wing type of chicken and had barely any sauce. read more

I have tried a lot of Chinese food in this area around where I live and most of them are really gross with no fresh ingredients. I have ordered from Dragon City 4-5 times now and have never been disappointed. Last night was no exception and was blown away by the chicken lo mein and how fresh and flavorful it was. This is what we ordered and it was all delicious. Egg rolls, crab Rangoon, egg drop soup, chicken lo mein and pork fried rice. read more

Good food, great people. They appreciate the business and work very hard to get your orders ready in a speedy manner. Love these guys.

They serve a Hot & Sour soup like no other. If you are looking for pasty, gummy, tasteless tofu chunks, look elsewhere. This is a delightful, delicious soup your mother would make if she were Chinese. Flavorful, delicious, chocked full of goodness, flavor, egg, pork strips, mushrooms served steaming hot and just spicey enough to clear your sinuses. Don't get the small, cause your will want more!!!! Gotta roll now and pick up my LARGE HOT AND SOUR SOUP. read more

Consistently great food! We've been ordering from this restaurant for years. You'll not find better Chinese in the west end!

Our go to Chinese restaurant. Been here over 25 times and it is always so good! Great quality food and excellent service. Highly recommend the egg drop soup and chicken & broccoli dish. Generous portions and full of flavor! read more

In the past, I have eaten in here several times, however in the past year I have noticed a change in their food and how it had a lot to be desired in taste and flavor. In addition, I have always ordered my food Extra Spicy. The last couple of times when I would return, I would let the Owner know how NO extra spicy was not put in the food. Absolutely NONE! In addition, A month ago, I asked her for a recommendation on a soup, and she recommended the Chicken Vegetable Soup. I order the Qt. size. I did not inspect the bag until I pulled everything out when I got home... In the soup there was NO chicken or Vegetables. It was ALL Chicken Broth. To say the least, I was not happy. A couple of days later, I went to Dragon City to let her know... and she insisted it had Chicken in it and Vegetables. So, I asked her if she thought I was lying. Of course she did not say anything. So, I let it go and decided to order a beef dinner with fried Vegetables extra Hot. Not thinking, I left and when I pulled everything out at home, I found NO extra spice on the food as I had requested. So, this evening... I went back in to let her know how there was NO spice on the food... Her husband cooks and he speaks NO English, so I wanted to make sure she was letting him know. Her remarks to me were, 4 years ago you complained about not paying for the extra spicy food, so we are not going to add extra spice in your food if you are not going to pay for it. I said, I have never heard of a place not making it extra spicy and now you want $2. more for extra spicy... I said, however you sold me the food anyway by letting me leave here thinking it had the extra spice on it without saying anything. Plus you sold me the chicken soup which had NO chicken or Vegetables as it was ALL Chicken Broth. I said if I wanted a can of Chicken Broth, I would have gone into Martins next door. Plus you think I was lying to you about it having NO chicken or Vegetables. I told her I have eaten in many Asian restaurants and NEVER has anyone charged for extra spice in their food. Than she asked me this question which was very unbecoming... She asked, "Why DO all YOU Americans always complain when you find something wrong"? To me this was OVER the top for a Restaurant Owner to ask or say to a Customer... Especially me who is a Veteran! So, I told her this will be the last time I come into your place, and most of all I told her, you need to adjust your attitude if you want to run a restaurant as the Customer needs to be taken care of and if there is a problem, you need to fix it. So, tonight I am giving it a 1 Star. If I could give it a -5 Star I would. I did not like the question, about Americans always complaining. It tells me that I am NOT the only one who is questioning their food and take out service. Finally, I went up the street to another Asian restaurant and ordered it extra Spicy at the same price, and the owner threw in extra spice cups if they had not put enough on it. NO Extra Charge... Now this is what a good take out service is all about. So, do not expect to see me there... as my money spends very well in other Restaurants, eat in or take out where they want to take care of their customers... Stay away from Dragon City !! read more

Very disappointed in my visit to Dragon City. I was extremely hungry and it was the closet thing in the area so I decided give it a try. I ordered fried chicken wings, bourbon chicken, and shrimp toast. Everything but the shrimp toast was an epic fail! The flavor was non existent on both the wings and bourbon chicken as well as dry (bourbon chicken). They also do not delivery and we were the only people the restaurant and the order took almost 30mins for 3 items. I wish I would have looked at the reviews before placing my order but I was starving and didn't think about it until it was too late. Hopefully this helps the next person from total disappointment read more

Dragon City - Menu - Chinese Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

See all

This is always our go-to for Chinese. Always delicious with quick friendly service. We have tried others in the immediate area, but nothing comes close to Dragon City. read more

Okay, so at least they were open and serving. Publix has removed all the hot food on a Saturday at 7:30??? And Wendy is incompetent, but three shrimp does NOT constitute Triple Delight, again three shrimp in a large dinner is a joke. AND calling rice fried in soy sauce fired rice is like... calling a dish with three shrimp triple delight. No egg, no carrot, no peas, no ham... NOT fried rice.... go somewhere else for a good Chinese dinner. You won't get it here. Oh, by the way, I should have known to go somewhere else when at 7:45 on a Saturday night they had zero carry-out orders and no customers. read more

best chinese food in the richmond area! obsessed with their crab rangoons. the fried rice is some of the best i've had ever. definitely get the pan fried noodles as well. read more

Food is bad and the service sucks. Bad attitude and it has become overpriced. There are so many better options in the West End

I work nearby and eat here quite regularly. Not too sure about the validity of older posts in terms of the flavor of the food. Perhaps a different chef/ownership? However, I know that currently, this is some of the best Chinese food in Richmond. Food is always seasoned and prepared expertly and quickly. A little pricey, but for the freshness and great taste, it's totally worth it. But please...don't go in there with a card thinking you can just get a pint of Wonton soup. The credit card policy is a little extreme - there is a $10.00 minimum. It's hard to order $10.00 worth of food for one person to eat. Make sure to bring cash! :) read more

I've been coming here for years and it's one of the few places to get decent Chinese food in all of RVA. Their crab Rangoon and boneless spare ribs are excellent! I've always beeN treated with courtesy and respect by the owners contrary to otheR revviewersbintgink they are very friendly! read more

This used to be my go to spot for Chinese food when I didn't want to drive all the way to Chen's, but after yesterday, no more. Everything lacked flavor...EVERYTHING. The wonton soup was bland, the shrimp lo mein was dry and lacked adequate sauce, and the General Tso chicken was dry and tough. This was truly a disappointment given the past positive history I had with them. This last meal was the motivation needed to go the extra 5 miles to Chen's read more

This restaurant was extremely unprofessional upon arrival she informed me that I need to make sure I have money to buy my food. As a African American female that comment was extremely offensive. I asked her to refund my money, and she said no resulting in the police being called when they asked her to give me my money back she said no. This place is a disgrace, and the food is nasty. PLEASE do NOT eat here. read more

Best Chinese in Richmond, by far. Not a sit down place at all, but excellent lunch specials and just overall awesome food. I've tried dozens of other Chinese places throughout Richmond and can't find anything that even competes with this place. Worth the trip from the city out to the West End. read more

Food is average here. The fried rice is bland and the chicken with broccoli is too oily and the cashier was not that friendly. I called for take-out and she just said "hello?" Are you serious? She is so weird and rude and I hate that this is the only "decent place" within a mile and a half radius from me... I'll just go to China Wok now. This place is eh. read more

Food is amazing and always the best you can eat always prepared correctly and better then Asian panda which is down the street. Also not that salty and rice is fluffy people are nice. They always have a prepared food is fast.that is all read more

I think the food here is good, the crab wontons are great! Above average compared to other chinese take out places. People are nice too!

I just called this place and asked for delivery because it said they deliver on this website, the lady rudely told me they dont have delivery and then shut the phone on me, never calling this place again. read more

I stopped going to this restaurant after the violations that were found (and available for all to view) in 2009. I went to review the violations and found they were corrected. So for the first time in 4 to 5 years I placed an order. I was hoping it was under new management but after calling, I realized it was the same rude lady who hung up on me before! I was simply asking about the ingredients in one of the dishes when she hung up the phone on me. After reading the reviews, I can see she is still doing the same thing to others! I understand I have choices and I have made my decision and I will never go there and I will spread the word of how rude they were!! Someone warned me about the awful food and I thank her for hanging up the phone because she kept me from spending money there and getting horrible food as noted in most of the reviews!!! read more

This is our neighborhood choice for quick, good, always right takeout. The restaurant is spotless and the employees are friendly. We mostly order soup, lo mein, kung pao and general tsao - great food. read more

Food is good, customer service bad. We've frequented for last couple years but went in for just a soup and they would not let me use a debit card as they have a $10 minimum. Refused service. So will be taking business elsewhere as other establishments in area do not have such a policy. The food or prices are not big differentiators for nearby competitors. read more

We love the food here. It's out go-to place for chinese in the far west end. The Kung Pao Shrimp and SIngapore Mei Fun are fantastic.
