I went to In-N-Out... line from hell. Then I remembered Dragon Express! I ordered a two item combo and a little $2 soup of the day won ton soup. Wonderful portion size. I spent $13 and I have enough for Lunch and Dinner. The food is so good... and they speak Spanish read more

Continued going here after my first review. One helpful hint is it's much cheaper if you call them directly and pick it up yourself. It cost extra if you order online and pick up yourself or delivered and it's much more expensive if you use DoorDash. I was told over the phone the second time that it's cheaper if you call directly and pick it up yourself. The young lady didn't have to tell me that and I'm thankful she did. I've been back at least 10 times now and this is for big family meals. For instants the order I get I when I call in person and pick up in person is approximately $70. If you order online and pick it up it's $83 and if you use door dash the same order is closer to the low $90's. Just a little helpful hint. Also pick up one of their menus when you go there and then look at online ordering price and then DoorDash ordering price. The mark up on DoorDash is outrageous.? read more

I've been coming here for years. This is an Antelope Valley staple. However, after learning they had to close due to a vermin investigation I will never return. read more

Dragon Express - Chinese Near Me - Palmdale, California

See all

First time eating there and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The portions are big and the food is excellent. The ambiance was so so cause there was people coming and going. Didn't give 5 stars because to me there should have been way more of a variety but there wasn't. read more

This place officially sucks ass. I will not go back here at all messed my order up twice. At this point I'm not driven back this is crazy I want to explain what happened. Had Family pick up food for us and they gave us a small portion on our two entrée usually they hook it up fat there, but it was very small portion which is unusual so I went back to get the order fixed and instead of fixing the order, she already had it ready and completely mixed up what I had ordered and gave me orange chicken, broccoli and beef and double rice and it was supposed to be rice tummy orange chicken and coconut shrimp idk what type of shit they on but when we went the first time, it was the guy that made my order older Asian guy when I go back the little sweet Asian lady fixed my order, but she messed it up, but the fact that they don't understand English or communicate right and then the old Asian guy, taking it out on his worker, as if it was her fault when it was really his fault I don't like that I would have quit on the spot. Fuck that fool. B***** a** owner I will not be eating food again this shit sucked does not taste the same read more

Place was awesome they give you a ton of food for the price. Is it the best no but they make up for it by hooking you up. I like the place personally for that reason. Save some cash like eat lunch and have leftovers for later read more

Ate there this Monday 5-12-2025 and have been sick from the stomach ever since. Something about the food this day was different

Food is Fantastic! Portions are huge. Staff is crazy busy all the time, cause everyone eats here! The interior could use a fresh redo. Not dirty at all, but looks like it is. read more

The food. Let's start there. Amazing. If I was a young child and tried their years back and later as an adult tried it again, I'd get ptsd. The noodles are so good in fact, that every time I got there, the employees know them about be gone. The teriyaki chicken, probably the best I've ever had. It's so tasty and tender and the orange chicken is so juicy and well made. I think it's the best spot in Palmdale and everyone should try it. They also do catering orders. read more

Friendly people, good comfort-type food for when you don't want to leave the house. It's a good "go to" when I need a break from cooking.

I've been going to this place for a long time and it always hits the spot. Huge portions and is totally worth the money. It has an authentic feel to it! The service is always great too. Seriously my most favorite and only spot I go to when I want some good Chinese food read more

This has always been my favorite spot for Chinese. Not just in Palmdale, but in the WORLD. Ok, admittedly I haven't been to all the countries in the world, but neither have you, right?? Thought so. Anyhow, I know there has been some management changes over the years but this is still the go-to spot in town, ney, the EARTH, to go to. Highest recommendation read more

This place is alway having customers. Servers are alway greeting you with a smile and very friendly. They serve good portions and top quality food. I always do take out or pick up, but here, it's always quite and very welcoming environment. I definitely recommend this place because of how fresh the food is cooked. read more

The food is shockingly bad compared to Panda Express, it's not fresh and horrible aftertaste that makes you want to throw up and we also found bits of plastic in the food. read more

Good food.. fresh food l will be back. Great service. Great food.. Great staff. Will recommend place read more

Dragon Express - a variety of food in a buffet - Chinese Near Me - Palmdale, California

Disclaimer: I'm a giant sucker for cheap, greasy, chinese food. HUGE portions. I really liked the taste of everything I got: Chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, terryaki chicken, and BBQ pork. I'm a 5' 11" adult male weighing almost 200 lbs and this $8.99 three entree bowl will be at least 2 meals (maybe 3 if I eat slowly and force myself NOT to overeat). I would NOT recommend dining in though. It was definitely a "hole in the wall". In my opinion this place is similar to Panda Express, but better in every regard (price, taste, quantity). read more

Food (3) Service (7) Ambiance (2) Food was not good at all, not seasoned correctly especially the chow mien. read more

I was in town for a few days, and I was craving Chinese food. I found this place on maps and decided to give it a try due to the mostly good reviews. The portions were huge. Coconut shrimp was a little bland, but everything else was decent. The dining area wasn't very clean. This is definitely a to go kinda place. Customer service was great though and everybody in our family liked their food. read more

So cheap, so delicious. They always pack it to the TOP. Definitely worth your money. Made my toes curl. read more

Dragon Express - Orange Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Palmdale, California

The food was the real winner. An overload of delicious mom and pop type Chinese food. Very yummy. The chow mein, coconut shrimp, broccoli beef and orange chicken were all so excellent. The ambiance is very mom and pop shop so it has that feeling and vibe. read more

It's my absolute favorite spot to eat since the late 90s. Always good service and good size portions. Will be back time after time after time. read more

They used to have delicious crispy vegetable egg rolls. Now they are cake-like and gooey undercooked on inside. Asked for fresh up egg rolls; when I opened food in car in less than 30 seconds, they were barely warm . The serving size is large, but there wasn't any flavor in the chicken, and the fried rice was cold too. It's been a year. There is no dine in; I'm going to drive to San Bernardino to eat inside, until places in the AV open their dining rooms. Their bathroom is also closed to the public indefinitely. The gals were pleasant enough, but difficult to understand. They are 3 feet away at the counter with a thick plastic curtain, seems the could unmask while taking order. They only have one pen to sign credit card receipt that is not being cleaned between users. They have hand sanitizer on table that I saw no one else using. read more

This place is good, but the owner is cheap. They didn't want to give me two fortune cookies for the two entree that I ordered. Also they don't want to give you more than two napkins, which especially is a problem if you are eating their ribs ‍ read more

One of the employees here is just very rude and has an attitude ! other than that the food is good I'll give two stars just because of the food tasting good read more

If you want fresh just order alacarte and call it it. Great food great price. You won't be disappointed.

Doesn't look like much walking. But this is definitely the best value for your money of any panda like Chinese in AV. Been coming here for about 12 years now, still amazing, still hard to close the box, still feeds you for at least two days unless you push through it, but then you're so full you have to nap. Try the Thai tea! Also, ask for the broccoli beef sauce on your mein, it's life changing. read more

I walked into this place. The selection of food was limited. And unfortunately it didn't look appetizing in any way whatsoever. I just walked out and went to my regular Chinese fast food place read more

The food is literally just "o.k." It's not bad but it's not amazing! I would say it's the most decent takeout place I've been to though. I guess if you're not from NY or FL you just accept what you can get but this place is missing a lot of popular Chinese food dishes I'm used to:... no pupu platter, no dumplings, no sesame chicken or general Tao's, no duck, no fried scallops or fried chicken wings and the egg rolls are actually spring rolls! .. I had the bbq pork-it was fresh but not juicy and no bbq sauce on it (I'll ask for extra sauce next time) I also had teriyaki chicken but it was very dry. The rice and lo mein (probably sat at under the warmers too long) tasted like it was sitting for awhile (I think I got the last of it and they were refilling it as I was leaving) I asked for cheese wontons and heard the lady at the counter yell to the cook "cheese wonton" but I got home and saw it was crab rangoon which was a nice surprise. The service was nice, the ladies at the counter were very nice and professional but the additional charges for spicy sauce, sweet and sour sauce and soy sauce was ridiculous! .. not normal at all to charge that much for condiments to help the food you serve taste better. But this is still becoming one of our go to places lol. I LOVED the orange chicken! So good! read more

Delicious and cheap this place never disappoints. Plates packed to the brim. One of the best in the AV

After being let down by ole faithful dragon garden one to many times . Had to find a different spot and what can I say dragon express hasn't disappointed yet . My go to spot for shrimp fried rice . The portioning size is exactly what you expect from a Chinese spot , always packed to the brim barely able to close the lid . read more

Be very careful going here. My co-worker came in here during down time and before eating his food he found a maggot in his chow mein. When he went to tell the workers what he had found they denied it and gave him a big attitude with giving him his money back. I would avoid this place and go else where tbh. Only reason they got two stars is because they give a LOT and they give you a HUGE cup of Thai tea for just under $3.00, though I don't know if it's worth risking eating the maggots though. read more

This place is actually pretty good orange chicken was awesome and the white rice is like sticky rice I love it

I live around the block. I go here every week. I tip na don't really have to. The staff is just so polite. I love it I think they recognize me I dunno they seem to. Hahaha read more

Large Thai Tea Boba I get every week ! I always comes out the best ! The war wonton soup I to get always too. When I'm sick or when its cold or on a good day Other than that I have No complaints. read more
