I had a nice first time experience here at Dragon House. I had a chance to order from the lunch menu at 2:45pm on a Friday. I ordered: Mongolian Beef and Chow Mein lunch plate, and Fried Prawns (appetizer). The food came out fast! Service was friendly and attentive. The lunch plate came with hot 'n sour soup. Man, that soup was spicy! One thing that was a bit of a surprise was that the fried prawns were tempura shrimp. Now, I like tempura shrimp, but they don't usually get served as appetizers in a chinese restaurant. Nearly every item on the Lunch Menu is under $12.00. Good food at affordable prices. Decor is modern and clean. Restroom is all-gender and was very clean. Free parking in shopping center lot. read more

We called in our order for pick-up last night around 7pm. We ordered $140 worth of food and some of it was not good. We had 2 orders of salt and pepper ribs. They did not taste fresh at all. The ribs seemed to be freezer burnt. The ribs were very dark like they were fried in old oil that should have been changed. Also the walnut shrimp portion was very small. For spending that amount of money, the portions should have at least covered the bottom of the to-go plate. Sesame chicken pieces tasted old as well. Szechuan beef was mostly onions and bell pepper with small bits of beef that were hard to find. It seemed like everyone was waiting on to-go orders. No one dining in the restaurant. I have eaten here too many times to count but it seems like the cost of doing business is affecting the quality of the food. I understand restaurants having to increase their prices but you're also serving smaller portions of food that doesn't taste as good as they used to. I can tell they're using different ingredients maybe because of costs but it really affects the taste of the food. Vegetable fried rice was good but how can you mess that up? Chow mein with skinny noodles was good too. I just called them to complain about it and the person answering the phone says the manager is not there, doesn't know the managers name, doesn't know the boss' name, won't give me their name and says it's their first day working there!! Yeah right, what a joke!! He/she (I couldn't tell if it was a man or woman because they spoke so softly) says I should have called last night because they can't find my order today‍ WTF?!?!....he/she took my number and said they'll pass it to the manager. read more

2 Stars I've been coming here specifically for their Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice because it's one of my favorite dishes. Unfortunately, my recent takeout order was very disappointing. When I got home and started eating, I realized there was no salted fish at all--just chicken. I called the restaurant to let them know, and instead of offering a reasonable solution, they asked me to bring the food back. After already driving home, that's simply not convenient or good customer service. I was really looking forward to my favorite dish, and this experience left me very disappointed. read more

Had food delivered which arrived within 45 mins. This place is pricey but it is large portions. I had to reduce what I choose to keep it under $100. Noodles were thick and oily. Rice had some hard portions in it . Orange chicken wasn't to bad but not good after it warmed down . Not worth the price. read more

No frills Chinese food that has been here for as long as I can remember. People are nice, you get your food quick, and prices are pretty good. Our family usually grab our Chinese food here and take it home to eat. I think my favorite here is the egg foo young among other things. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food and cheaper than Hong Kong located across the street. My mom and I have been there twice. The most recent time was yesterday for lunch. We ordered Young Chow Fried Rice and BBQ Chow Mein. Both were excellent and since couldn't finish it so we asked for take out boxes. Don't expect great service. Very similar to what you get in Hong Kong. Another thing is one of the waitresses and her treatment toward us when we asked two plates. No problem with that. Instead got a nasty attitude when we then asked for chopsticks. She said that we should bring it when we asked for plates so that she don't walk twice. Maybe return in the future and hope for better service. read more

They've gone a little downhill. Food is still good but we used to always order for delivery since they had one of the most fast and reliable delivery services but they've stopped offering delivery in the past year or so. Worst part is (as many others have mentioned) it looks like they're very sketchy about their charges. Last time we ate in the restaurant and received our bill which looked correct with 4 items on it but when we added up the prices ourselves, it came out to less than the price they wrote on the bill. We brought this to their attention and they insisted it wasn't a mistake and that the added cost was for tip but it was VERY clear that they were just trying to up the total without us noticing, especially since it wasn't noted as a tip and our party shouldn't have been charged for automatic tip. I may still keep eating here but I definitely wouldn't trust them with the charges, especially when they refused to take accountability for it which tells me it was intentional and something they probably do often. read more

CHECK YOUR BILLS!!! Dragon house has been our go to for Chinese food for several years. If I had written this updated review 2-3 years ago, or maybe even a few months ago, it would've still been a 5 star review like my first one. Unfortunately, my last experience here left me feeling unsettled by their shady way of sneaking in charges. After having lunch here with my family, we got our bill and almost handed our credit card to them without even looking at the bill but someone in our group asked if everything looked right on the bill before we pay. We took a look and realized the math wasn't mathing! We couldn't figure out how the subtotal they wrote on the bill was much more than what the items added up to be. We asked the server, who suddenly started acting rude, and she said "it's tip" and tried to reach for our credit card to charge it. I stopped her from grabbing our credit card and again asked her to clarify the bill she again said it's tip and just walked away with a quickness. We were only a party of 5 and she never told us tip was already added so I am positive that when she swiped our credit card she would have let us add tip to it still without saying anything. Also the "tip" she claims that was added was added to the subtotal and then they added tax after that. I do not appreciate shady business like this.. trying to sneak extra charges to your loyal customers. Not cool. read more

PARTICULAR ITEMS When I go to restaurants that have the same cuisine I try to order different items. Especially if the items are not served at other restaurants. One day I came to Dragon House for lunch because one of the items on lunch menu stood out - beef with mushrooms. Mushrooms have an umami taste. The combination of mushrooms and beef results in a filling dish. I really enjoyed this dish for lunch. The beef with mushrooms dish was promising start. Almost a week later I came here for dinner specifically to order the fried flounder, which not listed in the lunch menu. The breading has a light crust, yet I wished it was crunchier. Anytime a whole meat is deep fried you worry if the meat was overcooked. The meat from the flounder wasn't dry but moist. However I wish the sauce for fried flounder was thicker. Curry is not what you associate with Chinese food, but I came back to Dragon House a couple of weeks later for that reason. For lunch I ordered the chicken curry. I don't believe should be drenched in sauce, but I also believe you should taste the flavor of the sauce. The chicken dish had a very light curry sauce however I couldn't taste the curry. My first time eating at the Dragon House I was very pleased. The other two times the dishes were satisfactory. The items I had were tasty, but I expected more yet ended up as ok. read more

Quick service, foods good to so-so, would be back here for more. The soup was good, a little spicy, the walnut prawns were a little portion.

I love dragon house and I always get to go from them but today I ordered the fried shrimp appetizer expecting the golden delicious fried wrapped shrimp you get with their set D dinner. Instead when I open the box, I see tempura shrimp from Costco. It even have the same flat bottom. Come on guys..... read more

Dragon House - This is not what the fried shrimp should look like, I was given what appears to be the tempura shrimp from Costco. Highly disappointed. - Chinese Near Me - Union City, California

This is for to-go order Food 4.7 Service: 5.0 Been going here since they were located off Smith. We moved to Sacramento but family still live in the area so we typically order here when we're in town. No frills, no thrills restaurant and food has been consistent over the decades. We ordered: fried flounder, HK Style House noodles, Mixed veggies w/fried tofu, and Sweet n Sour Pork all done in 15 minutes, now that's efficient! Flounder fried to perfection so you could eat the crispy bones exposed, pan fried noodles held a crunch after adding in the sauce, meat & veggies. SnS is standard, but not overly sweet, and the veggie tasted fresh with a light crunch so you know the veggies were not overcooked. All the food disappeared after a few moments, needless to say we were hungry, LOL (I'll take pictures before letting everyone start eating next time) read more

Great food and service. We always order the yang chow fried rice and salt and pepper chicken wings.

Every city has at least one no-frills Chinese spot that you can always count on for good, dependable takeout, and Dragon House is Union City's. I've been coming here since I was a teen (which doesn't bear thinking about), and I still order for pick-up from here semi-regularly, because I know I'll be getting huge, delicious portions of classic Chinese-American dishes with very little wait. My go-to's are the chicken chow mein or beef chow fun, and the salt and pepper spareribs. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience here. For that, they've got a customer for life. read more

The lunch specials were rly good and personally the only thing I didn't like was their fried rice, but everything else excellent.

Great Value for your money and the food is good and clean always. Service is pleasant and speedy - perfect on those evenings you are famished and just want to eat and fast. My go-to food that's closest to our house. Oh and taste of their food has been consistent in the years I have been coming here. read more

If you want a quick lunch at a reasonable price, this place will offer both. When most places are increasing their prices due to the pandemic, this place still carries the same price during the pre-pandemic. This is one of a few places where you can still find a lunch special for less than $10. I had their string bean chicken with rice and was also served with a small bowl of soup with 2 pcs of wanton. It came quickly When you're in a hurry for a quick lunch to go back to work or run errands, this place is the right one. Their menu is simple and the choices are the normal menu you get from any Chinese restaurant. There's no difference in the taste or flavor compared to other places. It's not bad nor it's good but if you want a simple dish at a reasonable price, this place is good. read more

We have ordered from Dragon House many many times over the years and apparently they have changed hands because the food is different. We ordered hot and sour soup, which is very good. Their veggie fried rice is not so good because it has broccoli in it. I like broccoli but not in my fried rice. The other thing that we order, the Mongolian beef is good however there are salt and pepper prawns. I don't care for. Before the salt and pepper prawns had the shells on which taste much better. I wish that they could make them like that again. But maybe it was whoever owned the place before. All in all the food isn't bad I would just change a few things like the salt and pepper prawns and the fried rice. read more

This is the WORST "Chinese" food I have ever put in my mouth. This is NOT authentic Chinese food. This is a total disgrace to real Chinese food. There are tons of 1 star reviews here and they are all true. The food here is absolutely disgusting. They are very stingy with the amount of food they give. Top it all off, extremely expensive food which is not prepared properly. No words to describe how horrendous this place is. I'm never returning nor am I recommending others to come here. Service was mediocre as well. read more

My favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. Always good. Always fresh. Always friendly and kind staff. Prices are good too.

The food is ok. I used to eat in until the guy started complaining about our tip and how it should be at least 15%. Dude all you did was refill our water a few times and serve us only 3 plates and you wanted a bigger tip? Now if this was somewhere else where the servers are constantly being worked then yeah. But there was like 2 other people in the store. Dude was definitely not working his ass off. Then I started ordering to go and last week my friend found a long hair in the fried rice. So might have to avoid this place for awhile. Update: seeing a few of the other reviews, I guess I haven't been the only one dealing with the "tipping" issue with this place. read more
