Ordered their orange chicken based on another yelpers review. I wasn't impressed. The orange chicken that came out was not the same orange chicken that I have grown accustomed to. It was sad, in the way that it was over cooked, and way too much flour was used. After taking the first bite, i had hope to have sunken my teeth into what was supposed to be chicken, what i got was just flour. I decided to open a couple more of these "orange chicken balls" up to see if the first was just a fluke. Nope. To my surprise, they were all just like that. What I got was orange flour balls instead of the orange chicken that i had been craving for. I would of been happier going to tsing tsao or golden valley just a couple more blocks down the road. read more

We ordered crab angels, pot stickers, fried rice, orange peel chicken and chicken lo mien. The food was good but it didn't blow me away, I've had better. I wasn't a fan of how sweet the crab angels were and the rest of the food was just average. So far we have yet to find a good Chinese place since moving here to Tempe. We probably won't be returning, but the prices are really good nonetheless. read more

Great food and awesome lunch specials! Came here on my lunch break, the place is very clean and wasn't empty. Ordered shrimp with lobster sauce, by far my favorite in the valley and I've tried quite a few Chinese places. So yummy and flavorful. read more

Great place to eat. We had our food delivered and to our surprise the food was still pipen hot. The quality of food was the quantity was amazingly big. We have food for later and the best part is didn't break the bank. read more

Favorite Chinese place in the area! Love their fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. Also you get so much food for your money.

Excellent food! Top notch service! Wish you would open location in Power Ranch! Consistently delicious food every time we dine here.

Four people from my family ate takeout from there on 10/26. Two of us had stomach issues and diarrhea that night and the next day.

Love this place the food is consistently good and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We usually get the orange tofu and it's delicious. Very firm crispy tofu. My go to Chinese comfort food spot. read more

I order food from this place on numerous occasions. Food is above average and I like the fact that they deliver. It seems never the same driver does the delivery. I usually don't place tip on credit card because I know cash is the most preferable. So I just hand the tip to driver. But this evening is interesting - as soon as the delivery guy arrives, he asks me if I ordered the food. I said yes. But before I reached into my shirt pocket to grab tip money, he immediately shows me the print out of online order and pointed towards bottom where it says Tip: CASH. He then said "tip cash". I pulled out money from my pocket and handed it to him and politely said "well, here it is". I'm a little stunned. Not sure if I really want to order from this place again. read more

I am new to the area and used the reviews on Yelp to select a Chinese food restaurant for delivery. Dragon Express was so highly rated, I felt confident in my choice. I would be unhappily surprised. The restaurant was "slammed" on the Friday night, so my order took well beyond the quoted "45-55 minute" time period. Understandable. However, the food was so poor I feel compelled to comment. The General Tsao's chicken was overly battered and soggy. The sauce had a vaguely medicinal taste and the Lo Mein was overcooked and swimming in a bland sauce but overly sweet sauce. The crab "angels" had nothing in them reminiscent of crab - no imitation pieces and no taste of it whatsoever. Just overfilled with bland cream cheese surrounded by chewy, not crisp wontons. Did they recently get a new chef? read more

I order from here a lot thru grubhub. I ordered the Specialty Lo-Mein entree with Crab Angels on the side and a 2-liter for my first order. I have not strayed and ordered that same order over a dozen times now. It is so good. One day I will try other choices but I am weak for that combo. Definitely recommend. I always order delivery and they are fast. Longest wait I have ever had was maybe 40 minutes during dinner rush. Might have to actually go in there one day and personally thank the entire staff for being awesome! read more

I typically eat here once a week with coworkers. We have an hour lunch and easily have time to sit down and relax. The food is fast, delicious, and reasonably priced. The customer service is great and the place is always clean. Great Asian food for a great price. read more

Love this place to death! Total thumbs up.... Great food, always clean, and nice staff. Definitely a go-to during my lunch break :)

Love this place. It's 2 minutes from our office, so we get takeout at least once a week. This place has been GREAT 5/5 the last 10+ times we've been there. Must've been their B squad today. Got like a pound of snow peas and like 4 shrimp. No worries, we'll be back. read more

Love this place for its straight forward reliable and really well done Chinese take out. Price and speed are perfect, sort of my go2 choice when I want something good and fast. Its exactly what I want and expect from the niche it inhabits, so 5*****! Well earned! read more

I had the sweet-and-sour chicken with fried rice with fried rice was overcooked and dry as opposed to the sweet-and-sour chicken that was soggy expected it to be a crunchy outer coating. A lot of food for the money but not tasty read more

Although the food was decent I would not go back. I walked in ordered our food, a table of three was sat after I placed my order and two more walk ins. I was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. 1/2 hour later everyone that came after me was served and gone. The kitchen staff and the girl at the front counter were playing around and eating ice cream while I wait. The girl comes from the back after playing around with the kitchen staff and looks at me and says "oh sorry". ''This place was extremely unprofessional and I would not come back for that reason. It's a shame cuz the food actually wasn't half bad however there at plenty more restaurants that want business. read more

A few months ago our favorite Chinese food restaurant went out of business [sniff]. My husband and I were devastated! Ok, that's a little dramatic... but we needed to find a place from where we could get our Chinese food fix! We got online, ran a search on Yelp for "Chinese food," read countless reviews on various restaurants, and finally settled on Dragon Express. It was out of our way to drive to Alma School/Baseline but we were willing to make the sacrifice. Upon arriving to the restaurant I was immediately impressed. The atmosphere was so welcoming and unlike any Chinese food restaurant I had been to! There were pictures of all the food making it simple to choose what you wanted, the dining area was clean, and the cashier/waitress was SO FRIENDLY! She immediately brought my kids snacks to eat while we waited. It's my opinion you can tell the quality of a good Chinese food restaurant by their egg roll, so needless to say we ordered egg rolls. Not only was the presentation appetizing, their freshness and taste is unmatched to any other egg roll I've ever tasted. AND to top it off the Sweet & Sour Chili dipping sauce is incredible! I ordered Beef Lo Mein and my husband ordered the Orange Chicken; both were absolutely delish! We were so impressed by our first experience that we've been back twice! Each time we try something different and have yet to try something we don't like! Keep this place in business and eat there often! You won't be disappointed! Thank you Yelp for helping us find our new FAVORITE Chinese food restaurant! read more

I normally look at Yelp for good restaurants because I have never been stirred wrong. Unfortunately this time I was very very very much disappointed. I'm not sure if the other people that gave this review have any sort of taste buds, but the food was horrific. The pictures made it appear fairly delicious but that's as far as it went. I had the wonton soup and it tasted as if was defrosted, boiled, and served with large quantities of bland. It didn't stop there. The vegetable delight had no taste and lacked bean sprout. I swear the picture had more bean sprout. Specialty noodle had nothing special about it and neither did the fried rice. It's like someone who has never eaten chinese food before, looked at a picture of what it should look like and guessed on what it would taste like...gross! Other than the food being a zero, the customer service was outstanding! At least 6 star customer service! Sadly, I would rather take horrible service with amazing food. Please, if you respect your taste buds, avoid there food, but come for the nice people! read more

This place is just ok, not bad, not great. We ordered the Mongolian beef, orange peel chicken, pork fried rice, spring rolls, pot stickers and the crab angels. The beef was good, husband actually liked it better than some others in the area. I had the orange peel chicken and it lacked any real flavor, absolutely no heat. Chicken and breading were cooked well. The pot stickers were cold in the center and again, lacked flavor, but were crispy on the outside and the dipping sauce was good. The spring rolls were crispy on the outside but too mushy on the inside and as seems to be the trend, lacked flavor. The crab angels were perfectly cooked. That star of the show was the pork fried rice, it had great flavor and while it lacked the traditional egg component it held up to other fried rices I've had. We ordered for delivery and it took a little under an hour and a half, but being as it's Valentine's day, we gave leeway for that. Not sure we'll be re-ordering, as overall, it was just ok. read more

The orange chicken was good. About like every other Chinese place. Very quick delivery.

Tried Dragon Express for the first time tonight. We ordered take out and it was ready in 10 minutes. We had the Dragon Sampler, General's, and Kung Pao chicken. Delicious and huge portions. Husband loved the beef skewers. This will be our go to Chinese place from now on. read more

so delicious! they always deliver fast! and their crab angels are to die for!

I just ordered delivery and I'm sad to say that I am disappointed. I ordered both Orange Peel Chicken (not spicy) and General Tso's Chicken (spicy) and unfortunately I can't tell the difference. The Twice Cooked Pork was marginally better. The only redeeming item I ordered was the Crab Angels. I was happy that they put in sweet chili sauce to dip with instead of sweet and sour sauce. Guess I'm back on the hunt for a Chinese restaurant I can brag about. read more

Great place for Chinese take out or delivery. This is our go to place when we are tired and do not want to cook. Great crab puffs and pork fried rice. Like that all the chicken dishes are white meat. Great portions, friendly service, and fast delivery. So glad we found this place. read more

Look no further, you have found it excellent, food, service what can i say try it and you will agree.......thank you Dragon express....Customers forever read more

Love the food and the service! All around great experience ! They accommodate your special requests and are always super friendly.

First time here excellent food ! One of the best I have tried in Arizona. I even placed an online order on Yelp within 25 mins they were knocking at my door ! Good prices and a lot of food. read more

Best Chinese delivery I've ever had! Normally, I'm scared to order from Chinese take-out places because they can be kind of sketchy, but since I read so many good reviews of this place on here I decided to take a chance. Took less than a half an hour from the time of delivery to get to my house (27 minutes total!). I ordered online which I had never done before and it was extremely convenient. I got the dragon rolls, shrimp lo mein, shrimp fried rice, and a raspberry mango cheesecake. The portions at this place are HUGE! I ordered two days ago and I still have leftovers. The raspberry mango cheesecake is very unique and original and I loved it because raspberry and mango are my two favorite fruits! The shrimp lo mein is good, but after eating it for three days straight I'm kind of getting sick of it. The shrimp fried rice is probably my favorite main dish, and the dragon rolls are really good, too. The shrimp dishes come with A LOT of shrimp. Definitely worth your money! I will be ordering from Dragon Express the next time I want Chinese takeout and look forward to trying many more things from this place. read more

The food is great. I've only ever gotten delivery from them, but it's always quick and super hot when I get it. The prices are really decent and their delivery staff is very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. :) The pepper steak is delicious! read more

The beef skewers were charred and fatty and the "chicken" egg rolls had very little chicken in them if any at all, they were mainly stuffed with cabbage. Won't be going back. read more

This place is so dirty. I have been eating Chinese food for ever and never got sick. I ordered from this place last night. I have been up all night throwing up and as of 11 o'clock in the morning I am still sick and throwing up. Never order from there. I called the owner and all he said was. Ok I am sorry and hung up th read more

This is the best Chinese fast-food restaurant I have come across in the valley. Have tried many, but keep coming back to this one. The place is on the small side, but always find an open table. The dinning area is always spotless, the staff is very friendly and the food is pretty good. The portions are big; my wife and I always end up eating one main entree with two soups and a few appetizers. read more

Pleasantly surprised once again! Ordered via GruHub at 7:30PM which said to expect delivery by 8:30-8:45PM. What a pleasant surprise to have piping hot, perfectly prepared delivery at 8:08!!! Crunchy food was crunchy, noodles cooked perfectly, vegs fresh & vibrant, proteins tender & succulent!! Why eat anywhere else !!! I've ordered from them numerous times in the past and NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED! read more

One of the few places I can go where I have several items I love. I have tried so much off their menu, love every one of them, so I stand there when I go in, staring at the menu, trying to decide! It's made as you order it, no sitting under heat lamps and not at all greasy. read more

Usually this place is my go to for quick simple Chinese food. I really enjoy the Kung Pao chicken and the girlfriend enjoys the Garlic Beef. The last time we ordered we went through EAT24 app on the smartphone. I ordered mine spicy but it was lacking the spice I thought it should have whereas hers was spicier then normal. I'll continue to order there. I like this place and the prices are good. read more

Portions were huge! Which I liked, but the only downside was it was very bland. The chicken seemed soggy and the noodles were somewhat watered down. Delivery was on point though! read more

Absolutely love this place! Been going since 2010 and the food is great! A bit pricey but it's worth it. Must try the crispy pot stickers!

Love this place! Great food and the portions are enough for at least 2 people! Fast service and a nice menu!

This is the best Chinese food place hands down. Food is always great and the staff is always welcoming. Whether you get delivery or stop by the restaurant, the food is always fantastic. read more
