The absolute best! Been going here with my family for over 14 years. And it's always been smiles and warm welcomes when we come in. The inside may be outdated in some aspects but the food is always S+ tier quality + good portions and always piping hot when I get home. We have NEVER EVER had any issues with the food. It's very delicious. Please if you're in the area give them a try! I recommend a large beef and broccoli or some bourbon chicken! It's my favorite and always fills me up. This place is very close to my heart. I practically grew up eating here every other month. Amazing restaurant, amazing cooks and owners. I love this place so much. 5/5 read more

Great food. So far the best I have tried in Rock Hill. What I appreciated the most was the customer service. The young gentleman who assisted me was articulate, helpful and kind. My food was ready quickly. I will definitely back. read more

Went to school in rock hill years ago and lived off this place! Food was so good that even now years later I'm coming back to leave a positive review !! read more

Whoa, watch out for sauce leaking! I was walking around Rockhill and I was craving Chinese. This place was great - walking distance from my hotel and affordable prices. My bag was drenched in sauce that leaked out and the taste was a bit overpowered with sauce like it was cooked a bit too long. Service seemed fine but I took it to go. read more

We decided on Chinese for dinner Christmas night, and this was one of the few places we found to be open. Turned out to be lucky for us. I thought the food was great, which I'm balancing against my wife's view that it was okay. I had the black pepper chicken lo mein, which I had never had before, and hot & sour soup. I would definitely get both again. The lo mein was outstanding, and the soup was some of the best hot & sour I have ever had. My wife went with simple broccoli & chicken, and I think she just made the wrong choice. Very bland and average. On our next visit, I'll remind her to get a little more adventurous on her choice. read more

Great food cooked to order. Food came out quickly and piping hot. No need to reheat when we got home.

Great food and service! Very friendly staff and very timely. The ambiance was nice as well

Nothing better than a classic quick Chinese takeout food spot. The food was plentiful and delicious. Nothing wrong with the saucyness or the taste. All on point. Location is dated but that gives it its charm. Staff was nice and food was cooked quickly. If you are near Winthrop University give it a shot. read more

First time in SC and was looking for a nice asian place that was near. If you are looking for AUTHENTIC Chinese food with a lot of varieties then this is the place to go! Place is fairly clean, including the restrooms. Would highly recommend General Tso's dish under chef's specialties. You can never go wrong with hot and sour soup. The soup really awakens the taste buds, which is a really good sign! Their serving is also pretty good! The staff are also very friendly! I hope you try this place out! PS. They give HUGE water cups read more

Dragon Express - Water - Chinese Near Me - Rock Hill, South Carolina

Drove through the area and wanted some Chinese, so I stopped by here. It was an interesting spot. It offered a pretty large seating area, but there was no one else there during the lunch hour other than one man sitting alone, and it was dead quiet. No music played out front or in the back kitchen. I found myself humming unconsciously trying to fill the silence. All that being said, once the food was ordered, it took a few minutes to get some hot, fresh food. And it was good. I was ready to taste the bland fried rice I've been disappointed to find everywhere, which tastes of tap water and diced onions, but this rice actually had some flavors cooked in! My sesame chicken was the usual ratio of more dough than chicken, but the sauce was good. And the plain lo mein was a nice surprise, as I've never had one that had warm garlic undertones before. Overall, not bad. I wouldn't mind coming again and maybe trying out some of their sushi. read more

Great service and amazing food. Wish they'd delivered but the drive is worth it! Definitely one of the best spots in the area

The food here is so tasty! We've ordered take out twice now and it has consistently been good. This will be our go to spot for Chinese take out. We ordered the General Tso's, beef lo mein and chicken on a stick with fries. read more

Got party sizes for the foods: Sesame Chicken/General Tso chicken - very good... I ate way too much than I should have... Shrimp fried rice- was pretty good! Maybe because I had such bad chinese food experience couple days before this but it tasted pretty good. Don't think they skimped on the shrimp. Vegetables in garlic sauce - pretty good, I think it was sort of expensive for the party trays for vegetables, but they all tasted good Got large sizes for Bourbon chicken - was pretty good too, but I was too busy with the sesame chicken/General tso so if I had to choose I'd choose that over this pepper steak with onions - was pretty good too We ordered a LOT of food, so the lady also gave us extra rice, which was nice of her. They had a mic to order which was interesting and have this special box where you can take your food (COVID protocol) which I thought was cool. read more

Great food for the price. I am always happy to order from here. The honey chicken is my favorite.

I ordered bourbon chicken and my chicken was over cooked and the rice was extremely dark and so was my egg roll. Very disappointing! I do not recommend read more

I was honestly kind of scared to walk in here but I would highly recommend the food it's inexpensive and it's definitely one of my go twos whenever I'm craving an abundance of Asian food read more

I love good Chinese food and I have yet to find a place here in Rock Hill to live up to the standards of my taste buds. This place offers bland, very basic Chinese food that I'm not interested in going back to to try anything else they have to offer. Sorry guys. read more

This is my second time dining with Dragon Express and I am highly impressed! First time I came I ordered orange chicken and it was good but this time I was craving lo mein and came to check them out. I decided to go with the Szechuan lo mein oh my goodness it was nothing short of delicious!! Oiled perfectly and seasoned well!! Plentiful portion for it to be $6.50 for a small and I tipped her for the great service!! Highly recommend! I also seen their lunch combos and I'll definitely be back read more

Dragon Express - Bourbon chicken lunch special - Chinese Near Me - Rock Hill, South Carolina

No, no, no and no! Bland and flavorless! Where's the hoisin sauce, mild flavor of fish sauce, ginger and the flavor of being tossed in soy sauce? Oh, maybe I'm spoiled from the uniqueness of Asian cuisine in Georgia but this is just " feeding it to the people because they can or because they don't think we know any better". No digs to you SC. I ordered a very simple dish which was veggie Lo main with extra vegetables. How could it be more simple? It couldn't . I'm curious to know how often the customer before me orders here as her order was substantially larger than mine and her total three times as much. She clearly ordered from menu memory....oh well. Kudos for the way they accepted the $$ though. ....plexi glass, no contact payment or contact delivery of your order ‍ With all of that being said, DO NOT, DO NOT eat there unless you like mediocre food and adding four packets of soy sauce to make it edible.... Food for thought, my tried and true Asian friend said that the Chinese food that most fast food Chinese restaurants prepare is not the authentic Chinese food they prepare for themselves to eat and she's not kidding. Her Mom is the best cook. Sooooo? You could probably do better by making your own...its worth a try. read more

Been living in RH for 5 years and this is my 2nd time eating here in 3 days ! Both times food was hot and delicious, will definitely return. 1st time had Shrimp w/ garlic sauce and 2nd time Bourbon Chicken w/ spicy fried rice. Just the right amount of heat . read more

Food was very good for takeout!!! Wife and I got cups of egg drop soup...very good. We also split bourbon chicken and fried rice....very good. Kids split hibachi steak and fried rice...very good. All 4 of us had an egg roll. We all agreed that food was delicious and very good. The restaurant was clean and folks at the counter were very polite. read more

This place is delicious! Trust me. I am Asian and I know better. At first you get thrown off by the decor or setting inside but the food makes up for it. Chicken wings = get them! read more

This is definitely my go to chinese spot in the rock hill/Charlotte area. Some of my favorite dishes are the Szechuan lo mein, honey chicken, and the boneless bbq ribs. Tonite we had the Szechuan wontons. They definitely were not what I expected. They weren't bad, but I expected a steamed wonton in Szechuan sauce. It was more like crab Rangoon with pork soaked in Szechuan sauce. I try to get different items each time to taste different things on their menu. We had a big order of chicken wings, fried scallops, sesame chicken and fried rice which were all good as well. Tonite my honey chicken and lo mein were a miss. They are usually consistent, but all restaurants have an off night sometimes so it's understandable. I will definitely continue to patronize Dragon Express! read more

This place is par for the course, but why bother going here when Ichiro is leagues above it and is only one block away. This place doesn't even delivery, even though this yelp page says it does. Not going to bother going here again. The food and prices are about exactly the same as every other Chinese place in town, with the exception of China Restaurant on Ebenezer and Herlong next to Food Lion, that place is amazing! read more

I have enjoyed Dragon Express for many years. They have an extensive menu with all of the classic dishes. The lunch and combo sizes are large portions, and the large dishes are big enough for two. Everything i have had is top quality and very tasty, always prepared well. The location is a bit dated and spartan in appearance. But the staff is friendly and service is quick, which makes it a ok for just waiting around for your takeout. The prices are also reasonable too, so it is an all around great place to get your Chinese food fix. read more

I can't speak for their other dishes, but their hibachi beef is awful. The beef is that textbook soft and chewy Chinese takeout beef. Not to mention it has no flavor despite being drowned in sauce. I didn't finish my meal. I came here because Ichiro is closed on Sundays--their hibachi is much, much better and their beef doesn't taste/feel artificial. read more

While this place is not necessarily very modernized in look, it is a very familiar sight to anyone who loves a nice little Chinese joint. The food was good, the prices were low, and the staff was friendly. That being said, I would recommend taking out rather than dining in, as the children of the staff were somewhat rowdy and loud. Overall, though, the food was good, cheap, and quick. Perfect for someone like me. PS - The General Tso's Chicken there is really spicy, but I loved it. read more

They added a hibachi / teriyaki grill where you can now get chicken, beef, shrimp, scallops or a combo. This is my go-to place for Chinese takeout due to the wide variety of dishes on the menu, serving size, price, taste and location -- not necessarily in that order. read more

The people that work here have always been friendly to me and I have never had to wait longer than fifteen minutes for my food, whether it's a call-in or walk-in. They are super speedy and my food is always amazing. I usually get the sesame chicken combination plate or the honey chicken combination plate! With those, you get a good amount of food for your money. read more

Horrible food. I do not know how they have an average of 4 rating. I order take out for my family and we didn't eat the food because it didn't smell quite right. I order shrimp fried rice & crab rangoon. I did taste the fried rice and taste awful. Save your trip and money and go somewhere else. read more

Tried it tonight after passing by it numerous times. I've lived in Rock Hill for two years and this is by far the best Chinese I've had here! I've tried the other restaurants and I guess the saying of "save the best for last" has come true today! They have many vegetarian options, and the food is delicious. Meat eating family members ordered Rangoon, donuts, fried rice with chicken. I forgot to order mine with white rice, but their fried rice didn't seem to have egg. I eat egg but refuse to eat egg yolk, and to my surprise I didn't see egg yolk! I'll be returning soon, the prices were good! The food was even better. This is now my go to Chinese place. Only had it once but I'm craving it again in less than 24 hours of having it the first time. read more

I was suspicious when I first got into the place, it's old and has a fishy smell but that's because they have an aquarium inside. I ordered the beef and shrimp hibachi with rice and it was delicious! I would so go there again read more

This place has a dated interior, but the food is great. I recommend their Singapore Rice Noodle dish. It's spicy, but not too much. Includes finely slivered vegetables, chicken, pork and shrimp. And of course rice noodles similar in size to angel hair pasta. read more

Best takeout in Rock Hill. We've tried them all but Dragon's food is consistent. Prices are reasonable.

I have tried this place 3 times and for the last time! do not understand the high marks - All 3 times Horrible! rice looked old the color was suspect. And each time food was thrown away - Tried the Sesame Chicken and Beef & mushroom twice - just horrible and the place looks like it could do with a really good clean inside and out. Dirty windows. Do not recommend at all. read more

Very good value, large portion sizes, good flavor, fast service, courteous hostess, and the best toothpicks I've ever had. Seriously, they don't disintegrate after 30 seconds. read more

Not bad for the price. Not true hibachi chicken and steak but it's also significantly less expensive. Wasn't a fan of their shrimp sauce.
