Lunch Menu (1 of 2)
Steve D.

I enjoyed the classic Chinese atmosphere, the charming hostess (owner?) and the tasty food during my dine-in lunch at this 50-year-old restaurant in a historic (dated 1915?) building in downtown OP. My chicken with assorted vegetables lunch (competitively priced at $10.75) included choice of entrée, egg drop soup, wonton chips, fried rice and choice of crab rangoon or egg roll. The egg drop soup was served five minutes after I ordered at the table, while the entrée was served 16 minutes later. I was somewhat surprised that they did not offer white rice or sweet and sour soup as options. The egg drop soup was okay, while the entrée had a reasonable amount of premium chicken and a good assortment of veggies, but an overabundance of sauce. I did enjoy the tasty, smoky, fried rice and the crab rangoon with plenty of creamy, tasty goodness. The service was mixed, with a first-rate hostess and an attentive but somber waiter. I noticed three dining areas (including a party room) with a mix of booths and tables, classic Chinese decorations, Chinese background music and a small bar. Very nice!

Egg Rolls King Crab Rangoon

I hadn't been to Dragon Inn in several years but had a craving for Chinese and I was in the area. I ordered online via Yelp and everything was super easy. My order was ready when I got there and the one individual I interacted with was very friendly. My order was accurate when I arrived home. I started with egg drop soup. I could eat a vat of it. Just a tasty, classic egg drop soup. I would definitely recommend it! I also ordered crab Rangoon and egg rolls. Both were delicious. I would order both again. The Rangoon were large and full of delicious filling. The egg rolls were good sized and I liked the mixture. For an entree, I went with beef and broccoli. I upgraded to fried rice. The portion was generous, it ended up being two meals for me. The broccoli was fresh. The beef was good quality and tender. And the sauce was flavorful. I liked the fried rice as well. It's a bit plain but I'm okay with it. My boyfriend ordered the general tsos chicken and I tried some. The chicken pieces were quite large, he couldn't finish his either. The chicken was good quality white meat. It was a little sweeter than I prefer but I'm sure you can ask them to spice it up if that's your thing. I really have no complaints. I really enjoyed my food and I'll definitely return and recommend.

Food was ready very quick. Both the entrees were fairly bland. one of our soups was wrong. I ordered egg drop soup and was given wonton soup. The rangoon were tasty.

Chicken Fried Rice

Eating here was nostalgic as I used to eat here all the time as a kid. It really hasn't changed, which is a good thing. Very traditional and very friendly service. It was all SUPER quick too. Everything is good, Brown sauce was decent, but not overly flavorful. Highly recommended for some solid food and service.

Such nice people and great service in a historic restaurant in old downtown OP. Been wanting to try it for ages and finally convinced the group to give it a go. Seated immediately and friendly service. Everything we ordered came out with impressive speed. Unfortunately the food just wasn't very good. It seemed like everything lacked flavor or spice. And some of the dishes really didn't live up to their name. The sizzling rice dish was only mildly warm and certainly wasn't sizzling. It was basically a chicken soup with some crispy rice dumped on top. It tasted okay but was not what we were expecting at all based on the description. I still liked the the setting. Reminded me of Chinese restaurants we went to as a family growing up.

Has the Dragon Inn changed ownership?? Something is not right there. Two men seem to be running it, and they are not experienced in running a restaurant. The lovely women who have been servers forever are gone ....

The owners were brother and Sister, the sister Catherine Bot was front of house and kept everything going. She left several years ago and is part owner at Rakar Dumplings on 135th. I don't think the brother speaks English and my last visit was not…

This is hands down the best Chinese restaurant in the whole KC metro area!! It is one of those…read moreplaces which me and my husband keep coming back to and we absolutely love the food here. We have tried quite a few dishes and so far all were packed with a lot of flavor!! The egg rolls - super crispy, fried right and delicious. The salt and pepper fish - this one is by far my favorite dish out of all. They had a wonderful crispy coating and were tossed with fresh peppers and the right amount of seasoning. The treasures chicken, beef and shrimp hot pot was hearty and so comforting with tender meat and tasty broth. The Mongolian beef, chicken, and shrimp - was really well-made as well with tender pieces of meat and savory sauce and all these three dishes above married well with the hot, steamed rice that they served with it. I also tried the seafood noodle dish with the white sauce, which had shrimp, fish, mushroom, vegetable noodles, and egg.This one was pretty unique and one of the highlights. It was gooey chewy and all the ingredients tasted well together in a light savory white sauce. This particular one was so comforting that I kept going back to this one for another bite. I love that this restaurant has a lot more dishes to offer and that their portion sizes are huge. The pricing is very reasonable as per the portions with most of the entrees in the range of $16 - $18 with seafood costing a little more. The service has always been very friendly but be sure to dine in way before closing time or the staff might tell you to take a to-go 30-45 mins before closing. Otherwise the restaurant has a very casual relaxed feel to enjoy with family and friends. I still have so much left to try but based on everything I've had so far I definitely recommend Hong Kong star to all Chinese food lovers!!

Literally all of our family members including my in-laws love this place. We come here for…read moreauthentic Cantonese food. The owners/servers here are very kind. We typically order the basil seafood pot, beef chow fun, duck, and fire-roasted chicken (takes abt 30 min to cook - they start making it when you are there, but one time I called ahead to let them know I'm on the way and the started it early). Family-style is the best way to go about eating here!
