Very tasty food! The staff were very friendly. We visited on a slow day, but we enjoyed our time very much :)

Food came out hot and portion is generous. Waitress/hostess hasn't tried the food so couldn't make recommendations. The garlic eggplant is a bit strange with bamboo and water chestnut. Beef chow fun was average. For a Chinese restaurant in a rural area, Dragon Palace exceeded my expectations! read more

Food was very fresh with good portions. Everything is à la carte, so my boyfriend and I each got a dish and shared the large portion of vegetable fried rice and of course started with egg rolls. The egg rolls came out very hot, like EXTRA piping hot, as did all of our meals which was excellent. They sure know how to pour a glass of wine! Service was good and ambiance is where it looses a star, curb appeal was not stellar and very dated decor with visible dust and cobwebs took dinner out to a lower level. I can see how this place would be excellent for takeout. read more

Okay, so walked in and it smelled like mothballs (I'm exaggerating because I don't know what mothballs even smell like); But it had an old dingy, old church smell so maybe that's like mothballs?? Super dated decor, empty restaurant, but I'm giving it a go anyways...RISK KAY! The lady that greeted me was fairly nice and was patient as I took a few minutes to decide what I wanted. I landed on the "Special Combo Dinner Plate" Ok, got my food and here goes the true test...summabitch!!! I was hoping for a better result, it's almost flavorless...you know that bland taste when you're sick and everything taste like nothing? Welp, I came, I tried and unfortunately, I'm not a fan. What happened to the days when a little carton of rice was like $4.95, here it's between $11.50-12.50, GAWD! read more

Dragon Palace - Dinner Special Combo $17.50 - Chinese Near Me - Burney, California

less vegetables!!! more noodles!!!!! and chickennnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!! chicken it's pretty good i like this place it's just the vegetables

I keep forgetting to review this place! We've eaten here often (part time residents) over the past 10+ years and every time we do we are very pleasantly surprised. Service is fast and friendly, food comes out fast and hot and fresh and tasty. Hot and Sour Soup is fabulous and love the Combo Chow Fun Noodles (lots of meats/seafood), portions are generous. All entrees we've ever tried (can't remember all) were delicious and freshly made. Yes the place is a little old and run down looking, but clean and serving great food to a small town. Prices are very reasonable considering we come here from the Bay Area. read more

A hidden gem in Burney. There is a large variety of food on the menu. The flavors were wonderful and the smells were enticing. We are going to Burney again this summer and will definitely come to this restaurant again. They were even opened on the 4th of July! read more

Food was good, we got it pretty quickly and the portions were generous and the price was decent too.

The food is better than any in Redding. We have traveled a lot and the food is better in this small town than any we have had. Hot and sour soup is the best ever! read more

Got like 4 things was $50. That price was unreal. Dont think people here in Burney can afford that. Thay been here for long time. With new prices thay wount be here for long read more

We have always enjoyed our meals at the Dragon Palace. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced if you order the combination lunch and dinners. We think it's the best Chinese restaurant we've been to. read more

Wanted a nice spot to eat for lunch before seeing Burney Falls so we ended up stopping by Dragon Palace. It was sorta busy going on Labor Day weekend, but we were seated promptly by the kind waitress. The shrimp was very plump and fresh, Kung pao chicken had a really nice kick, and the cheese wontons came out piping hot with a nice crunch. Would come back again!! I recommend the shrimp!! read more

This place is a small restaurant in Burney CA, from the outside looks a little run down but inside place is clean , open and full of natural light. Food was very tasty and portions are plentiful. Service is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place. read more

FOOD - Shrimp in Black Bean Sauce lunch special: shrimp sautéed with green bell peppers and onions. Comes with rice or fried rice, an egg roll, and soup of the day. The shrimp was decent. I liked the taste but my husband thought it was a little salty. 3.5/5 - Mongolian Beef lunch special: beef cooked with bamboo and white and green onions. Comes with rice or fried rice, an egg roll, and soup of the day. This was probably the worst Mongolian beef I've ever had. The meat was tough. The flavor was tangy/sour and it wasn't spicy at all. My husband said it tasted spoiled. 1/5 SERVICE: Friendly. We were the only ones there as we came right as they opened. It took about 20 minutes for us to get our food. Everything was made fresh as it was piping hot! 3.5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I don't think I'll be returning. Every one that I came with were no impressed with their food. Mine, thankfully, wasn't bad but it also wasn't great. read more

We were ordering take out because we had our dog with us. I explained I can only eat the sodium things they have. They kept the egg food young sauce separate, made the veggie dish as unsalty as possible and I swear they even figured out how to make their fried rice less salty! They were very accommodating and the food was delicious. read more

Excellent service and decent Chinese food. Went here twice while staying for work and also ordered take out one night. Got a bad headache after the first night and realized that they probably use MSG. I called and asked and they do indeed put MSG in everything. However, they do offer MSG free options (thank you). Also, kind of weird that you have to ask for rice with your meal when most places provide it as part of the meal. Inside temperature of the restaurant is on the chilly side in the winter. I heard a waitress stating to another customer that heating the building is expensive. I guess losing customers isn't as expensive? Overall, a good place to eat in such a small town. read more

We love the hot and sour soup great staff and no matter what you order it's hot and very good.

Not a bad place, and would stave your Americanized Chinese food craving in the cold Burney weather. Burney is a pretty small town, and so ethnic dining options are a bit limited. I was in the mood for some hot and sour soup and some hearty meals. And that's exactly what we got, three hearty plates with soups and rice. The mussels in black bean sauce were not bad, albeit a bit on the sweeter/saucier side than what I'm used to. The chow fun was the most solid out of the three. Albeit it was a little heavier due to the carbs and oil. And the eggplant dish had a nice balance. Dragon Palace is about as good as it gets considering how remote you are out here, but I'd come back if I happen to be in the area. It's not amazing, but it gets the job done! read more

0 stars. My family of 8 came in and not a single greet by the lady. Instead, we were told that we should've called ahead for parties of 8 or more. For a funeral looking restaurant in the middle of nowhere with no people other than us? Okay I guess. We had a toddler and she was not kid-friendly at all when we asked for a high chair. She was taking our orders like a bratty teenager who couldn't wait to leave a family gathering. If you hate your job so much please let other people handle your job right for the sake of the owners. There were two men ordering for take-outs and when they wanted to add more - she replied with "You guys I can't keep changing your order" What is all the fuss and attitude about lady? All you need to do is to edit your paper. Normal things. Horrible horrible service. Food tasted like it needed to be in Kitchen Nightmares with the help of Gordon Ramsey by firing her. I feel so bad for this place. Also, she told us to tip her $15 because she can't legally put it on our bill and kept insisting. Girl, get your $15 elsewhere BYE! read more

Only Chinese place out of the whole town. I don't know what we were thinking trusting the yelp reviews here. It's mediocre Chinese food catered to non Asians... We got the chow mein, sweet and sour spareribs and scrambled eggs. Chow mein: pretty good, no complaints, can't really mess that up. Sweet and sour spareribs, wtf? They actually used ribs you find at an American BBQ and cut them up. They were heavily battered and sometimes you eat pieces where you find no meat under the batter, just fat. Scrambled eggs, we thought it'd be like the water egg dish you find at a typical Chinese restaurant but nope it was literally scrambled eggs....not worth it, I could've made that dish and made it a lot prettier. Overall, I don't recommend eating here. With the scarce food options around, I'd rather just get a frozen Chinese dinner at Safeway. read more

Super disappointing. Ordered the kung pao shrimp. it came with about 7 pieces of shrimp, with the rest of the container full of water chestnuts. no spice at all. Szechuan chicken was soggy. not spicy. Fried rice was only rice, minor shrimp & no vegetables or egg or anything. Sweet & spicy shrimp prawns were very disappointing. Only things that were acceptable were the egg rolls & chow mein. I really wanted to like this place, but after spending $100 & having such a disappointing experience, I don't think we'll be eating here again read more

The food is good, but the prices are astronomical. As a local we order two entrees and rice and it cost $50. Have not ate there since.

Food is just basic service is mediocre we went on a Thursday night. Server wasn't friendly at all she was rude and races. Won't go back..

Decided to try this place out as it was right next door to our motel my boyfriend and I are staying at for the night. The portions are big but the flavor is lacking, lots of soy sauce. The chow mein was probably the best thing we got. The lady in the front and the chef were not wearing masks. Don't think I will be returning if I ever decide to visit Burney falls again. read more

I love this place! It does nothing look like much, but my family loves it each and every time. The dinner specials are plenty of food for my three growing sons, and that always makes me happy. I think the almond chicken is my favorite on the menu and I recommend the sweet and sour pork! read more

I give this place 0 stars. We walked in the EMPTY restaurant and the white lady with tattoos was not happy cause we came in with 7 people and told us to call before coming in with that many people. She was also rude to the elderly folks while we were eating not wanting them to order more food. Our server which was the same girl with tattoos told us to put 15 as a tip because she took 15 dollars out of the total to be given to her as a tip, knowing that no one would ever tip her. Which would be theft cause she took the money from of the restaurant bill to get it as her tip. This restaurant was not welcoming at all even to anyone who came, terrible customer service! This woman needs to be fired she lost the restaurant a lot of customers today. This restaurant should be closed ASAP. NEVER COMING BACK! read more

I don't know what Kelly's problem was, but I had the beef with oyster sauce and it was quite tasty. I'm not Asian, but I've been eating Chinese food for over 60 years. The inside is very nice and the server was excellent. read more

The staff now are typically pleasant, they've got some good items but of course room for improvement.

While driving through town, my guy smelled Chinese food and got a craving. We found The Dragon Palace a block away and decided to eat there. We both chose to get the cashew shrimp dinners. The flavors jumped off the plate, they were so good!! We will definitely be back!! read more

I can't really speak about the food because I didn't get any! Been in town for just a month with restaurant and food choices being limited I decided to try the only Chinese place in town. I had Lo Mein on the brain all day, unfortunately when I looked at the menu I didn't see it. I asked the girl if they had it and she had no idea what it was. NO HELP. So I continued looking at the menu with VERY limited combination platters and just overall disappointment. I did ask the young lady to go to the back and ask about the difference between Lo Mein and chow mein.. good idea. In the end I decided not to get anything. Im just not use to this yet. I'm going to San Francisco in a couple of weeks, I'll try there. read more

Do you like explosive diarrhea? Then you'll love this place. Food is not that tasty but if you insist on trying it, go for the fried rice or chow mein. Waitress was nice at least. read more

Favorite Chinese restuarant I've been to. Always good. For being in a small town in the mountains the food is great!! Dont knock it until you try it! Fast service! read more

F'ing horrible!!! Absolutely the worst quality chinese food I have ever put into my system. No positives....none Cons: Poor service, exceptionally horrible food quality, The order was wrong and then they charged us for a correction substitute. You have been warned. read more

Decent food, slightly overpriced for a lunch combo at 7.75 without a drink. read more

Dragon Palace - Chinese Near Me - Burney, California

Loved the food! My parents and I were vacationing in Hat Creek and came in to Burney for groceries. We saw the Dragon Palace and thought how crazy it was for a Chinese restaurant all the way up here?! Well, we sure were surprised by the quality and deliciousness of the food! We got chow fun, happy family, Mongolian lamb, and walnut prawns. Everything was very tasty. Price was a little high, but still, it's good Chinese food in the intermountain area! read more

Not SF China town or China, but Burney, CA. great service, the food was brought immediately and hot. the place was clean but outdated. Had a dinner special so can't speak to the norm. Hot and sour soup was decent. ASK for NO MSG (the pre-made items like egg rolls will already have it though)... The food was fresh and not super salty. Beef was not the highest quality so, I might stay with chicken or veggies next visit. Condiments are not home made so, just expect jarred sweet and sour and hot mustard....but then again, it's Burney! I think they would be willing to make things your way if you ask. Fried rice: well, rice with soy sauce does not make a fried rice. Sorry. Note to self: Stick to regular rice next time. Saw lots of families there so they are doing the town a good service by offering family style and variety. read more

Was little disappointed about their food. We ordered the general tao chicken and it was salty instead of the sweet taste. Food lack of real Chinese ingredients like oyster sauce and garlic etc. It seems like they use whatever ingredients they have to make up for it. Don't recommend. Service was nice and that's about it. read more

Great food, open late, and so accommodating! We were driving through Burney around 9pm and decided to stop for dinner. I didn't expect much from a Chinese restaurant in this little mountain town, but everything we ordered was delicious! Also, the kitchen was kind enough to modify the dinner special for me since I don't eat meat. Will definitely stop in again next time we're driving through! read more

I love this place, l have my favorites: wor wantan soup, shrimp with snow peas, Mongolian stile combination chow main, very happy to have this place in the intermountan area, reasonable prices and good food quality, hope you are lucky to have a good waitress, some ones are not very pleasant. read more

Yummy affordable Chinese! Cashew shrimp and tofu chow mein were great! Would definitely eat here again.
