I had a rare craving for chicken lo mein and was satisfied by Dragon Express. Also in our order was minced chicken with lettuce wraps, crispy pot stickers, fried rice, orange peel chicken, and spicy Korean pork. The minced chicken with lettuce wraps was comparable to PF Chang's; probably the best thing in our order. The crispy pot stickers were good, but tbh it's hard to mess up pot stickers. My assumption is that they are frozen pot stickers and heated up but I cannot confirm. My brother ordered the orange peel chicken. It was battered, fried, and covered in orange sauce. It was more batter than chicken, but that's not uncommon for orange chicken. The fried rice was your typical fried rice, good, solid. The Korean pork we ordered the spiciest level possible and it was NOT spicy. My brother notoriously cannot eat anything even remotely spicy (regular hot cheetos are "too" spicy for him) and he tried it and confirmed, not spicy. Trust me when I say it means a lot when he can eat it. Overall, Dragon Express is good to satisfy a craving but doesn't necessarily hit the spot. read more

This has become my favorite Chinese spot. Good flavors, consistent quality and great customer service. I have never had an issue here. At first I thought it was slightly more American Chinese food,and that is still true. However, the consistency of the ingredients and the recipes keep me coming back. My other Chinese spot taste more authentic but sometimes the food be so greasy or the quality of the good feels rushed. Never here. So happy I found this place a few years ago and now it is my go to spot. General Tsao Chicken is my jam, side of lo mein is good. Sesame Chicken is also good. My husband like the Orange Chicken add broccoli. I always order a side of Crab Angels (Crab ragoons). They are flavorful and alwaya tasty. If you ever eat in the restaurant you will be happy of their customer service and friendliness. Try for dinner and have leftover or go for lunch for a reduced combo price. Either way try this restaurant. read more

Love this place. Very good value and MUCH better than Panda. I like Panda too but I prefer to support locally owned places. I will get the orange chicken, wontons, egg rolls, egg drop soup. Always great. read more

Our first visit was this Easter. The service was perfect and the young lady was so sweet and kind! The food was probably the best from a Chinese restaurant that we ever had. The servings were very large and So much food that we had lots of leftovers for take home! We'll definitely go here again. Please visit this place! read more

Did not like the food from Dragon Express. Got takeout last weekend, and, while service was great, the food was a colossal waste of time and money. I got the chilli edamame, and it was drowning in so much salt that I did not finish it. It burned my throat to try to eat this edamame. I also got sesame chicken as my entree, and it did not have any sesame seeds nor did it even have sauce on it. It was just pieces of bare chicken with no taste. How that passes for an order of sesame chicken, who knows. The search for good Chinese takeout nearby continues. read more

Decided to get takeout from this place and it did not disappoint! We stopped by around 45 minutes before they closed down for the night, and they still had a few orders lined up ready to be picked up. We placed our order at the counter and the employee was nice. We opted for the large dragon wonton soup soup, orange chicken, and Mongolian beef. All with white rice. We literally waited about 10 minutes and we were out the door. The soup was delicious! It had vegetables and chicken mixed all up in it, and it was very flavorful! Both entries were also very good! The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious! read more

Best place ever. I come here with my girlfriend almost every week and it's never disappointing. The service is incredible! Food is outstanding! Everything is nice and clean! The sports channels are awesome to watch as well! I've had both eat in and take out & I couldn't be anymore happy with the quality of the meals! Highly recommend as your first choice of Chinese Food! I've had almost everything on the menu and you literally cannot go wrong with anything! My favorite dish is the Szechwan Chicken and Egg Drop Soup with an Az Tea! read more

The food was very good, and the portions were plenty. The place looks to be run by a family, so you know they will care about their food and customers. Would definitely stop by food here again. Their menu has a variety of options, so if you can't decide on a single cuisine this place will allow others to have options. read more

Dragon Express - Kung Pao Chicken Lunch - Chinese Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I ordered Kung Pao chicken and it was bland with a few pieces of whole white chicken and the rest of the chicken being a weird combination of "breaded/battered/encrusted" chicken. Who in the right mind does that ? Breaded/battered/encrusted chicken mixed in with regular chicken breast? It is as if the cook/chef got confused and put in a few pieces of General Tso not knowing it was supposed to be Kung Pao? For all the rave reviews, I was thoroughly unimpressed and generally pissed off. Secondly the sauce had no heat and a weird flavor....that being NOT Kung Pao (Kung Pao generally tastes the same no matter where you order it, some hotter than others...except for this ^#$% place). Either the cook royally screwed up or they were being cheap. First time ordering from this place and it will be my last. read more

Absolute worst food I've ever had. My order wasn't right so I had to go back to the store. They could've cared less about making it right. Got the new food and it was absolute trash. Over cooked and disgusting. Save your money and go elsewhere. This place use to be good but it has gone down hill fast. read more

Just moved to the area and wanted to try out a new place. This place was an amazing find!! It is a little bit pricey but the food was worth it! Got general tso (was a little spicy) and chicken sesame with white rice, brown rice, and lo mein. I also tried the crab puffs. Everything was so delicious and the lady was so nice handing us the food. Everything was so hot, fresh and flavorful. I ordered takeout but the spot was super cute and cozy definitely have to dine there soon! Only thing i didn't really like was the sweet and sour soup but that's just my personal taste not anything towards the food here read more

The guy kept asking if I wanted wedgies. No thanks sir!! The noodles are $2 extra just for them to have NO FLAVOR. The teriyaki chicken was covered in sauce that looked soooo good but had no taste at all. I had to put mandarin teriyaki sauce from Panda Express just so it can have flavor. The " crab angels" had NO imitation crab what so ever. Not worth the money! Being catfish by food is a different type of heart break read more

The food in this place was simply horrible. To start with it made us sick. It didn't taste fresh. The fried rice looked dark brown. I ordered shrimp in oyster sauce and for $13 received a cup of shrimp soup with egg. We ordered $75 worth of food. All left overs after getting sick went straight to the garbage. Seriously, Panda Express tastes so much better. Their portions average about $13 and you get very little for your money. Actually, we paid to get sick. Stay away from this place. I think I will report them to Food Safety inspection. Very disappointed. read more

I ordered the chicken lo mein and the appetizer sampler. The lo mein was not like the pics I saw from other reviews, my noodles weren't thick/round they were more flat, there were no veggies mixed in, and the chicken was really tough and over cooked. The appetizer sampler was just basic. The crab angles barely had any crab, the beef skewers were over cooked, the spring roll and pot stickers were not notable. The over all taste was like I was eating from a dying malls food court. I was really bummed cause this place had high reviews, but it was such a let down. read more

In 120 degree weather dragon express definitely delivered our take out in record time. Very impressed by their speed and the ease of ordering through Yelp's Eat24! We ordered lunch specials, sweet and sour pork and general tsos chicken. Plus some egg drop soup and pork fried rice. Servings were large and food arrived piping hot. We loved their fried rice and egg drop soup. Were not as in love with their lo mein. I would highly recommend them if you want some solid Chinese delivery. read more

In the beginning I was hesitant to order from this restaurant because of some of the reviews. However, This has been my third order and I'm very satisfied with the food and delivery time. Today particularly I got light sauce in my ginger chicken broccoli dish per Jessie recommendation (the person who took my order over the phone) When i mentioned I want to watch my sodium intake. I also ordered steam veggies. All well cooked and perfect. read more

This is your definition of hole in the wall. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the authentic Chinese food has become a weekly staple in our house. This is also one of those rare finds that the take out food is just as good as eating in the restaurant. I highly recommend the Hot and Sour soup. It is the perfect balance of a little bit of spice but engulfed in rich deep flavors. I constantly order the teriyaki chicken with fried rice. The chicken is coated and deep friend in this light coating that makes it incredible to eat. I also recommend the General Tso's chicken. It is cooked in the most satisfying sauce. This is one of our favorite take out restaurants. I highly recommend you give it a try if you are looking for incredible, authentic Chinese food! read more

This is the worst Chinese food I have ever had! The fried rice would be flavorless if it wasn't Smothered in soy sauce. And the meat on every item I had tasted 3-day old and dryer than the city in which it was cooked! read more

Been coming here for years, specifically on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. It's gotten a little detached, a little more impersonal, and a little rundown in the last few years (the sign was even off on Christmas Eve, as if they didn't want even more customers than they already got), but it is still a semi-reliable spot. The food is always the clear winner here, and my Hot & Spicy Beef and Twice Cooked Pork absolutely fit the bill for what my taste buds were craving. Service is okay, as in, they are attentive, but it doesn't seem like they really want people dining in the restaurant much (which is admittedly a little small). They are clearly Cash Cows, because they are always doing bang-up business on To-Go and DoorDash orders, and we could see the staff firing on all cylinders to pump everyone's food out. Overall very glad this place is around as it has been one of the most consistent Asian restaurants food-wise in the Valley. read more

It's unfortunate as I used to be a huge fan of Panda Express - but boy the quality, portions suffer despite big price increases, fees. I rarely order here anymore. This time the brocolli was hard and crunchy. It was aweful. The rest of the food was decent, the sides were greatly reduced in size by half I would say pre pandemic. Guess it will be a long time to do this again. read more

I ordered delivery and the food arrived quickly, and it was hot. I got the general Tso's tofu and Thai basil fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. Will definitely order again read more

Nom nom nom nom... Oh, what's that? That's the sound of me stuffing my face full of food from Dragon Express.

I'd been down with a flu bug or something for about a day and a half and had a very delicate tummy. I got out the door so I could go to the Rubber Stamp Show they have here in Mesa twice a year and when the show was over I figured I should get something to eat since I hadn't had anything for 2 days. I searched Yelp for a Jewish delicatessen thinking chicken soup would be the best thing but there wasn't anything close. I tried searching different categories including soup and wasn't satisfied with what I saw. Then I thought, well what the heck, and started searching for pho places. I think this is one of the places that popped up and since it was a place that I had passed by many times and wanted to try, I decided to stop in here. I told the young man behind the counter that I was interested in soup but I wasn't sure if the choices listed on the menu would be enough food for me and he let me know they have the larger 32 ounce size available so I said that's the ticket and ordered the egg drop soup, after debating between it and the won ton soup. The soup came out fairly quickly and while it was piping hot it was edible pretty quickly. It had good flavor and lots of good egg in it which I figured would give me some nutrition and protein. It wasn't overly salty like so many soups are and I had absolutely no tummy reactions to it later, for which I was very grateful. I felt much better by the time I left and I think it helped me get back on my feet the next day . I found the atmosphere to be very friendly and welcoming and the soup to be good quality. I will definitely be coming back here to try other items that looked good on the menu. Oh, and did I mention the soup was only about five dollars? Score. read more

We tried the General Tso's shrimp and the hot and spicy beef with fried rice. Both were very good and filling. I had never had General Tso's shrimp before, it was tangy and came with broccoli. The girl at the counter said that anything on the menu could be made for vegetarians. Score!!! Next time I want to try the General Tso's tofu. read more
