Dragon Garden is our go to location in the area for takeout Chinese food. They are multiple dollars cheaper than the closest competitor with excellent food and good portion sizes. Unlike other local Chinese restaurants, they also always provide accurate time estimates for how long it will take for our food to be ready. The owners of the restaurant are also incredibly kind and always ask after our children or offer them additional treats when they come in. Best of all - the food offerings are extensive, the owners are accommodating, and anyone in our group, including those with allergies or restrictions (like no fish sauce) are able to find something to eat. The vegetarians in our house especially love the general tso tofu! read more

Our new favorite chinese food in Millburn! Since moving, it's been difficult to pinpoint which chinese restaurant would become our go-to. Dragon Garden is definitely it. The food feels fresh, the kitchen was immaculate, the staff was kind and helpful, and everything was delicious (and affordable!) Its also the easiest to park by, making pickup quick and stress-free. We will definitely be coming back soon, and I hope to try more of the menu. read more

We've found our local Chinese-American food takeout joint! The owners are super friendly, nice and accommodating. We appreciate that they allow us to substitute brown rice for white without additional charge and are flexible with requests to add less sugar (to their General Tso's chicken, for example, as we found it a bit sweet). Their singapore mei fun was SUPERB! Best we've had and we've been around. Chicken with broccoli, beef with mushroom, fried chicken wings, and egg drop soup were delicious as well. I appreciate that they don't put yellow food coloring in their soup like many other places. Lastly, prices are very reasonable and on-par with other takeouts. read more

I've been going here since it's a kid , I've never had any problems with this restaurant , the lady who works the cash register is always nice and funny and the food is always good . I'll Keep going back read more

The food is amazing. The best Chinese in the area IMHO. They are always friendly and I have been going here for years.

The food was super yummy and came out really fast, which is always a plus. My girls loved their broccoli and chicken--it was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I tried the Singapore mei fun and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It had lots of flavor and just the right amount of spice. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

I heard about this place thru a social media post from a friend, had never heard of it and I've driven past it 100 times and never saw it, it's that non descript. They don't deliver, it's take out only and there no sign to let you know it's there. I'm fact when I parked in the strip mall I honestly had to walk around to find it. All that aside, this was amazing food. Hands down, the best hot and sour soup I've ever had and the noodles were so crisp, not the stale ones that so many places give you. The fried wonton were also freshly made and so delicious. Chicken with mixed vegetables was equally fresh and yummy. I must warn you, don't try to banter with the woman at the counter, she ain't having it, there are even signs that say" no cell phones" and please be quiet. This is a must try if you live close. Don't pass it up, trust me, you'll be glad you did read more

Food is delicious every time and the main woman there is nice and seems to remember me often! Their dumplings are the best around!

Called to place a order and said Hey can I get etc.. Gave her my order. Then said she said we don't like people saying A to us. at first I didn't understand what she was saying. Then she said I said A to her. I cancelled my order. She was rude I said Hey not A. I felt she was being rude and racism to me. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the Union / Millburn / Maplewood area. We have been buying their wonderfully prepared food for over 6 years. We love their very delicious noodle soup. It is perfect. We soup from them every week. And often buy 2 or 3 dishes as well. This young couple takes so much pride in their food. it is not heavy and with the right amount of flavor. Please try their food you will not be disappointed. They are in the same Vauxhaul mini mall as the Walgreen's read more

Went to order food and noticed sticky mouse traps on the floor in the kitchen. So I walked out. Gross!!

Customer service was awesome Food was fresh and so good and this was my first time here today I definitely will be back as a returning customer. Thank you KJ read more

5 stars for authentic Shanghai food, including Shanghai soup dumplings. Good selection of delicious dumplings. Setting is modest but service is very friendly and good. read more

Very good reliable dishes, very nice people. Take out only but one of the best in the area.

Good Takeout Chinese food. The owner makes great recommendations on pairing different dishes for a complete Chinese dinner with friends or family. Very engaging, and can modify ingredients to taste or your preference. The food is reasonably priced yet delicious read more

While the food was passable mostly, the customer service is horrid. 2 stars for food, only. The eggroll had about a tablespoon of filling. Soup was hot, entree edible. Please don't yell at me when giving me my order for which I have already paid. Why must this woman be so mean. Only one other customer ahead of me. If things are so busy, that's great, be happy for the business dollars. If business stinks (and it's tough out there for small shops), make an effort to be pleasant and even thankful. I did nothing to deserve being berated. This was a second try at the place after a tepid first attempt. My last. Lots of other little Chinese joints out there to try. read more

No flavor - my egg drop soup, picked up tonight tasted like dishwater. How can you go wrong with egg drop soup, a staple in Chinese cuisine? Not returning here. With so many other choices in the area, will get my takeout there. My advice - get your Chinese take out anywhere but here. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g46883-d5059273-r884453284-Dragon_Garden-Vauxhall_New_Jersey.html# read more

Terrible place. I ordered food at the counter, and before the meal was ready, I questioned something about the food (just a question and a small suggestion). The woman suddenly changed attitude and face, all vicious words came out of her mouth, and then refused to complete the order. I wasted my 15 min there, nevertheless, was happy to have skipped the order there since I knew a shrew and liar could not produce healthy and tasteful food. Hey, you have to be careful of what you order and from whom! read more

Customer service is horrible. The woman at the window is rude and disrespectful. Do not waste your money. Go somewhere where you are treated with respect. The food is just OK, anyway, and the chicken is not fresh. read more

Food was alright, service sucked. Girl on the phone was extremely rude and short with me. Didnt want me to "waste her time"

Best Chinese food in the neighborhood!! Good prices and their Covid precautions are above and beyond.

We had lunch yesterday from DG. It was delicious. One order of Kung Pao Shrimp from lunch menu and Lake Tung Ting Shrimp from dinner menu. We asked that the 2nd dish be made with black bean sauce instead of a white sauce. It was so good, and both portions were plentiful! Egg rolls were fresh and not greasy! WE WILL BE BACK! Oh, The woman/girl on the phone was very pleasant too! read more

I love this place!! Their food is awesome. The lady that takes the orders is so nice and l'm originally from New York and I never thought I would find a place better than New York Chinese and I must say it's wayyyyy better! read more

Nestled somewhat behind a subway in the strip mall, it can be quite easy to overlook Dragon Garden. It is a total hole in the wall take out/delivery joint since they only have a few seats to sit at while you wait for your order. They don't offer anything too special, just the standard fare that you would expect. I ordered their beef with broccoli, lo mein, and some chicken wings. I don't have anything particularly exciting to say about any of them, but that's not really such a bad thing. When you get that craving for cheap chinese food, give Dragon Garden a call. read more

Dragon Garden - No sign above so you might miss it. - Chinese Near Me - Vauxhall, New Jersey

Very solid take out - quick and friendly service. Generous portions - so many shrimp packed into the small order of shrimp fried rice! Nice local option when craving Chinese food. read more

This is the best casual takeout Chinese in the area. Nice people, fast service, fresh food. It's nothing fancy, but it's reliable for that quick takeout meal. Highly recommend trying it. read more

Pretty good- their store is a bit hard to find: it's by Subways. Will frequent there again- we are new in town, so we'll be eating around. Dragon garden is a place we'll give another try. read more

Not the most impressive store front you've ever seen but the food is delicious. Easily the best in Millburn.

My go to favorite Chinese place. Food is always fresh & very quick. The owners are very nice & they make quality Chinese food. They go above & beyond for their customers! One of the few places that still have fried jumbo shrimp. The only con is that I wish they delivered but going to pick it up isn't a hassle when you know the food is quality! read more

Just ok. The service was pleasant and the food came out quickly, but the taste just wasn't to my personal liking. The hot and sour soup had some heat, but no sour. Although the General Tso's chicken had a pleasantly smoky aroma, there was no crispness and just some mildly tangy sweetness to the sauce. You can definitely do worse - but you can also do better in the area. read more

There are a lot of Chinese food Restaurant's in Vauxhall but Dragon Garden is simply amazing ! The wait time is minutes after you call the order in and they call you to let you know your food is ready and hot! What other restaurant calls you to let you know your food is ready? The flavor of the food is amazing ! You have to try Dragon Garden ! L.S. read more

Food is amazing, chicken and broccoli is my favorite but customer service sucks. The woman at the window/counter is very rude and nasty.

The egg drop soup was so starchy that it was almost congealed. The wontons in the soup weren't the good type, but rather thick noodles with little meat. It wasn't edible. I had low expectations going in but didn't realize you could mess up egg drop soup... read more

So so sad. There are new people working here now and it is NOT the same. I won't be back. This was never an amazing Chinese take out place but it was decent and made comforting American-Chinese food and really good dumplings. Now, the old couple have left and gone back to China and the food is all bland. The ingredients aren't as good either! The sesame chicken used to have a nice flavor and was strips of chicken breast meat. Now they use frozen little balls of breaded chicken and the sauce is just sugar sweet with no savory flavor. Bleh. We also ordered chicken and cashew extra spicy and the hot and spicy beef. Both were bland and flavorless and the chicken tasted like the water in a can of raw water chestnuts. I threw them all in the trash. We also got a simple steamed chicken and broccoli for my little girl and the broccoli was raw and undercooked. They were also putting all of the brown rice in the microwave and then into to-go containers while it used to be in the big rice cookers up front. Worst of all, the dumplings are terrible now! They're the main reason we used to come here. :( They look like perogies now. Whoever is making them doesn't know what they're doing. They don't taste as good, they fall apart and the sauce is too sweet now. read more

Literally love this place! I work up the street and this is always my go to lunch/ dinner place. Great quality of food, prices are awesome. Seriously can't go wrong. read more

Recently had a great take out experience here! We tried a small boneless spare ribs but the order easily fed 2-3 people. The meat was sweet, tender and delicious! Hot crispy eggrolls, tasty wonton soup, fresh moo shoo chicken, and zesty orange chicken all made for a wonderful dinner. Something I particularly like about this location was their service. It is owned by a family who cooks and operates everything together. Something about a small business these days is charming and makes me want to keep giving them my business. They also made our soup a large because we spent over $25. Definitely will be back! read more

First time ordering from this place. Placed my order over the phone. Got to the place. You stand outside the main door while you pay and receive food through a slide in the doorway. Long story short, expect to pay cash if your bank card is not with a BIG bank. They don't accept credit unions nor American Express. Food turned out to be decent. read more

This is the best Chinese food in the area. Food always fresh and the lady is super nice. I drive all the way from Montclair to get this food. read more

When I moved to the area, I was looking for a good local Chinese food place. Dragon Garden is still one of the best places I've gone to get food. I have yet to try something on the menu I don't like, from the fried dumplings (mouth watering) to the variety of entrees. The owner is incredibly nice, and if you go there regularly, she greets you and knows what you like in your order. I am thrilled they're open again after being closed during the start of quarantine. read more

Owner was extremely rude on the phone. I asked simple questions as its my first here and she assumed I've been there before and was extremely short. She said things like "why are you asking these questions?". Service on its own gives this place a bad experience. read more
