Food is always good! Wish they were on grub hub or DoorDash. Kinda hate that I have to drive outta my way to pick it up.

Decent takeout Chinese in the days of Covid-19, where quality at some places has sadly suffered. Our food was prepared promptly & correctly. The lemon chicken sauce was delicious, and the breaded breast was tasty plus a nice amount. Lots of vegetarian options for a SJ place also. And not just your standard veggie dishes, but mains like eggplant with garlic sauce and spicy triple mushroom that you don't always see in the burbs. The Wonton soup and dumplings passed muster. Chow fun noodles weren't very flavorful and sticky, but that might be due to not traveling well. Overall no real complaints with anything we ordered. I will be more adventurous next time! The dishes we ordered were mostly kid-friendly Americanized staples , but I definitely saw some interesting things on their menu. read more

The reviews for this place were contradictory so I was really not sure what we were going to get. Turns out, this place was amazing!!!! We loved it! The owner was our waiter because we came in at a weird time and he was very nice. The food all came out in a timely manner, the soup was really flavorful and the complimentary tea was so good! I thought the lo mein turned out really well, it wasn't too greasy and I love when they put bean sprouts in it. The best part for me anyway, was the egg rolls!! It's hard to find a good egg roll I think and the ones that came with the combo were the shrimp egg rolls. I even ordered extras (don't judge I'm really pregnant). Side note: if you're a truck driver, the TA is right next to it and it's a short walk! read more

Pick up order was so fast! Food was hot and ready, delicious, and filling. Man at the front was very kind -- asked about us personally, completely friendly. We ordered sesame chicken, tofu and veggies (spicy), & chicken fried rice -- all so good! And a side of white rice was also added into the order. Downed it so fast because it was so delicious. Not from the area but if I was, I would definitely be a regular here. read more

My family has been eating here for the past few decades, it never gets old. The staff is incredibly friendly and generous. The pricing is great, especially for the quality of food. I've never had any issue with them in the past ten years of coming here and I greatly recommend it. Compared to other restaurants I've been to previously, Dragon Nest's lo mein is perfectly cooked and it makes great leftovers. All of the food is amazing and worth a try. The meat is perfectly cooked and I've always had a weird texture issue when it comes to my food. They have never let me down, all their food is freshly prepared. read more

We were staying nearby at the KOA campground and ordered from here. Our food was very good - won ton soup, sweet and sour pork, boneless ribs, and sesame chicken. Although only take out due to staff shortage, they were extremely friendly and efficient! read more

This is hands down one of the better Chinese restaurant's in this area. The other 2 can't compare to the quality Dragon's Nest puts out. If you are standoffish about the exterior to this establishment then you probably missed out on a great meal. These guys have a great Steamed Pork Dumpling's around, well on this side of the river at least. I have had a some of their other dishes in Hunan Beef which is nice and spicy to their Moo Goo Gai pan. Their Singapore Noodles is a must order as well another one of my favorites . Nice intense flavor to the taste buds with just the right amount of curry. This is a dish that will leave you full and satisfied. I am pretty sure these guys can hold their own in Philly when it comes to quality and quantity. The service is fast, which is good if you come in with a growling stomach. They also provide you with their house tea and noodles to munch on. Which by the way I destroyed. Dragon also has some pretty interesting chef special dishes they offer along with an interesting menu to go with. I am more aggravated with myself for not reviewing these guys earlier. Go in and enjoy a friendly staff always looking to accommodate. I know I'll be back, plus they have a great lunch menu to peruse. read more

Dragon Nest - Singapore noodles - Chinese Near Me - Clarksboro, New Jersey

This place has been serving the area with quality Chinese food for over 20 years. Here you'll find a traditional old-school Chinese restaurant with tablecloth's and linen napkins along with Family friendly service. Old favorites like wonton soup and Eggrolls are simple but they are just the starters that make the impression that The rest of your meal will be excellent. Your standard favorite appetizers like spareribs and shrimp toast are also available along with Chow mein, lo mein and good fried rice. The entrées and chef specialties are also very good. Dragons nest is extremely clean but don't expect to find anything fancy, do expect to find the type of Chinese food that's easy enough for beginners to eat and good enough for people who love American Chinese. Enjoy! read more

Usually order takeout, but we have eaten here several times, service is excellent, price is fantastic

It's the dawning of the age of the ROOSTER ... the age of the ROOSTER; ok, it doesn't sing well with the classic song of a new age from the Sixties but the visit to the Dragon's Nest was on Chinese New Year's weekend with the ROOSTER getting ready to crow. So, CELEBRATE ... get some Chinese specials ... Ok, so the Dragon's Nest on a Sunday afternoon is a very quiet cave but come on folks where's the indication that a new year is here? No Chinese New Year Specials? Is your location out in the middle of the country (right off of I-295) a reason to disconnect with a date of cultural significance? Well, the restaurant is clean with a very appealing dining area. Service was attentive although the team of guys working and serving us all were dressed for catching the rooster on the farm rather than serving diners. I felt bad for the one server whose cold was very evident with sniffles, cough and sneezes ... wait, did I mention that he didn't take the day off but was serving us our food. The hot and sour soup was absolutely delicious with a broth that indicated that someone paid attention while blending the wondrous flavors that can transform broth and veggies into something special. There was no idle tossing of mushrooms from the store into the soup ... I definitely wanted more. Lots of interesting crisp veggies but still heated thoroughly in the mix. The Chinese fried noodles were HOME MADE ... yes, not the dried up curls that all too many eat in and take out places insult you with. These were good and a nice duck sauce accompanied them (Probably not homemade but still good.). Ahh those steamed dumplings. When you "STEAM" dumplings you put them in a basket allowing the steam to rise and cook them utilizing steam. The steam penetrates the dough and heats the contents. All you had to do was look at the serving plate to make a pretty good guess that these steamed dumplings had been dropped in a pot of hot water and semi boiled (They were not all that heated inside and out.) before being dumped on the plate leaving Canton Lake of Water in full view. That's right, these luke warm dumplings sat in water, which made for a rather unattractive presentation. The entrees for this Chinese New Year Feast were "Tangerine Chicken" (Noted on the menu as Hot and Spicy.) and a scallop chicken (Jade Chicken) stir fry. First, spicy? SPICY? I want some spicy meatballs if I see the notation 'spicy!' I didn't ask for mild ... I just had expectations that I'd experience some heat with the bites I took however, nope. The breaded chicken had a nice "tangerine" flavor that tasted like "orange chicken" and my first few bites were more hardened breading than chicken but as I worked the plate the ratio improved making it an acceptable meal. Now, the presentation was colorful and very appealing with bright green broccoli surrounding the orange highlighted friend chicken but it really would have been a nice touch if the broccoli wasn't cold ... like just out of the freezer cold (Well, the florets weren't icy but there was more warmth walking outside on a 32 degree day.). The scallop blend was actually pretty good prepared in a sauce that had a very noticeable fish flavored sauce. So, my Chinese New Year celebrations for 2017 sort of fizzled out but the Hot and Sour Soup was great plus those fried noodles ... and as I left there was the guy who waited on me sneezing again; as I walked out the door and he sneezed again I wished him well and suggested he go home to get better ... so what was going to be a three star review sort of fizzled out on reflection to two stars with a note ... if you are feeling down and troubled with your health and you need a helping hand ... and nothing nothing is going right. Pick up your cell phone and call out some employee's name and wherever they are they'll come running & soon you won't have to be wiping your nose in front of customers and even your darkest afternoon will be brightened up resting at home plus those reviewing your restaurant on YELP might be giving more than a two star rating. read more

Went here with a party of five. Food was good, nothing overall special. I would eat here again and enjoy takeout from here.

One of the few authentic Taiwanese style chefs in the South Jersey area! I'll admit, the typos on the menu sketched me out at first ("Comblinatlon special"), but the food easily rivals the best NYC Chinatown. Amazingly, the specials the day we went included the elusive Taiwanese tea egg (Lu Dan), shredded firm tofu (Dou fu Gan), and the thinly sliced aromatic beef. See photos. Also, unlike most Chinese places that serve a genetic Puer tea, we got a much higher quality high mountain oolong. I'll definitely stop here the next time I'm on my way to Philly. read more

We are visiting from Florida ... and read the reviews so just decided to try .. We have chinese very often and will have to say General Tso chicken and pork fried rice they were very tastless .. there was no spice at all very dissapointing read more

I love the chicken fried rice from here, it's like no other Chinese restaurant. I also like the wonton soup and noodles that come with it. The general tso chicken is also very good. This is honestly my favorite Chinese restaurant and I've lived all over the tri--state area. I currently live in PA and whenever I'm in the area I stop by for some of that good ass Chinese food. read more

This is probably the worst Chinese food in this area. i decided to take a chance as I pass by this place everyday. First, the gentleman attending us was rude, even my 9 and 10 year old kids picked up on this. The food had no flavor and oily. I am sorry but I cannot with good conscious recommend this restaurant. read more

Best Chinese around! Brown rice is top of the line! I have tried many and this is the best! If you like spicy try the hot oil, it's literally perfect! read more

Nastiest Chinese food I have ever tasted. Not sure how you go wrong with rice but they did. Tried to take it back because it was so nasty and the owner was hesitant to give me a refund. Never will return read more

Consistent yummy food. Awesome eggrolls. Fried rice is tasty. All the dishes are good. Never a bad meal. Owner is a very sweet, hardworking guy. He has been there for years. As for Chinese food in the immediate area I will go nowhere else. read more

Really the only stand out was the won-ton soup, handmade and thick won-tons! Mu-shu pork didn't have the strips of black fungus that I love but overall I would rate this place 3.5 stars if I could. read more

I always get the triple delight when I come here. Just love he experience of getting the hot plate brought out and the garlic/ginger getting tossed on it and sautéed on it. You get that smell and then mix the rest of it up on there and present it to you. Love the hot tea here. Always very friendly staff here. Great food. If you like the old school style of Chinese restaurants, this place is where to try it. I have never left here dissatisfied or not full. read more

I've been here twice now, both times i don't even finish what I have ordered before tossing it, out of disgust. Just not good. Im used to Chinese food from Chinatown or at least decent American Chinese food that has quality. This place just doesn't't season or cook their food right. I don't know if it is the quality or what, but i have tried it twice now and will not be back. If you are used to this kind of American Chinese food, i feel sorry for you, but you may not notice and enjoy the food. If you are used to Chinese food from Chinatown, do not enter here with hope. Just turn around and get something else. read more

Standard Amerinese. I ordered the Kung Pao and also poached some General Tso's and Tangerine Chicken. All satisfied that Chinese food itch. The only disappointment was that the Kung Pao, listed on the menu as spicy, was entirely not. I had to add some hot sauce from the fridge to give it a kick. I understand this is just about the only Chinese food in the immediate vicinity, and for that you could do a lot worse. read more

The staff were pleasant and helpful. The food is hit or miss depending on what you order.. My chicken with garlic sauce was excellent a where my shrimp roll and cold noodles fell short. The shrimp roll was a little over fried. The cold noodles had onion in them!! Which is a first, usually they just have scallions. I was not happy with my noodles at all. For this area, this is about the only Chinese food place around.. Although my main course was good.. I would consider trying another place for your Moo Goo Gui Pan! read more

Dragon Nest - a sign for a chinese restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Clarksboro, New Jersey

Edible sometimes. The general Tsos was slimey. The "signature" Singapore noodles are inconsistent. Sometimes they have tons of flavor, sometimes purely Spivey, sometimes taste like nothing. Pretty much everything is a let down. Suggest avoiding it. read more

Ricky was the sweetest host ever!! He made my friend and I feel so welcome. His bubbly personality was refreshing and a real blessing and the food was so tasty! If you're in the area and want warm hospitality and good food with a huge selection, stop on over!! read more

Prices are fair. Food looked good. However; I ordered cream cheese wontons and got fried pork grease balls. My husband and I thought no big deal and continued eating our meal minus the pork fried "dumplings" I think they were. Fast forward 45 minutes, I am writing this review from a bathroom stall. We are probably going to cross this restaurant off of our list of options. We left the remaining food by a trash can at the truck stop. Maybe someone or something will enjoy it more than we did. It was more than half of our close to $50 order. read more

We got pineapple chicken, house special lo mein, Chinese pizza, and shrimp egg rolls. The food was super delicious. Nice crispy egg rolls, and honestly my favorite part was the House lo mein. Not too greasy. My only complaint is that the cashier was NOT wearing a mask. If the front of the house isn't masking up, do you really think the back of the house does? I mean, they were closing like 20 minutes after we went to pick up the food so maybe that's why, but I still didn't like it. I ate the food anyway but I'm hesitant to go back until Covid is over. read more

Best Asian cuisine in the area. They have the best rice and I won't order Chinese from anywhere else.

This is, by far, the best Chinese food I've ever had in my life. It's so good that Dragon Nest has become one of my family's go to spots for special dinners, even though it's a hike from Philly. Most of the menu is prepared fresh on site, which allows for modification to accommodate food allergies and picky eaters. I highly recommend the house-made dumplings. Order them pan fried for the most delicious dumplings you've ever experienced. Other family favorites include the General Tso's Chicken and The Happy Family. You really can't go wrong with this place. read more

Meh. I came here today for lunch because my girlfriend recommended it. I was very disappointed. I arrived at 2:54 and requested a general tso lunch special. I was told no because it was after 3 and the cooks would not honor it. I really didn't want to argue but last time I checked 2:54 is before 3. So I just got the regular portion extra crispy and spicy. Wow! what a huge disappointment! Not only was it like a kids sized portion but it wasn't the least bit crispy or spicy. Also, didn't help that I felt ripped off. I paid $8 for this when I could have gone to Panda Express and got better service and food. Will not be going back. Stay away! read more

Dragon Nest is, by far, my favorite place for Chinese food. I've been eating here for no less than fifteen years, and everyone I bring to the restaurant ends up falling in love with it. I can literally count the few times the food was lackluster or poorly cooked on one hand. I love this place. Truly and utterly. The one thing I would warn against is ordering food anytime later than 8:00. Past that point they start slacking off a bit and you might get a bland batch of General Tso's chicken, but since they're closing down for the day that's to be expected. Don't let the building's exterior fool you. Go for lunch one day and I promise you that you'll have a great experience. read more

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant of all time. I crave their chicken and garlic sauce! Everything here is super fresh and I don't feel like I'm eating terrible take out food when I order from here. I often take a a bottle of wine and dine in for a more pleasurable experience as well. Outstanding. read more

My new favorite lunch spot for work food is always excellent. Try the pineapple chicken it's sooo good. What got me hooked was their fried rice full of flavor as its moist every time. read more

my favorite place for chinese food since i can remember! i recommend the scallops in garlic sauce or the chinese pizza.

Great place for traditional Chinese. Very pleasant inside, with a new exterior. Reasonable lunch prices. And overall very clean. I had the beef chow mean, and I must say it was delicious. I would recommend if you're already in the area. read more

Best Chinese food in Gibbstown, with that being said it wouldn't hurt to add a little more chicken and a few less vegetables after all its called spicy garlic chicken not spicy garlic vegetables. There's not enough chicken for 2 people hardly enough for one, raise your prices some and add some chicken please. read more

Been going to the Dragons Nest since it opened 26 year's ago! Hard to believe it's been that long ago. From the first day I walked in there, the food is Terrific. Family run business, owner is a hard working man. They take pride in every meal that's put out, including take out. My personal favorite is the General Chicken, outside crispy and delicious! Also Love the chicken and mixed vegetables crazy good sauce! Wonton soup is so flavorful and delicious! Same quality for 26 year's now! So many other fabulous offerings. When I crave Chinese food, I don't waste my time at a buffet. I go to Dragon Nest!!! Haven't failed me in 26 years!! read more
