Really mixed bag! As soon as you walk in you're hit with some beautiful, old school Chinese restaurant decor and I was all about it! Service was stellar! Then the food. The hot and sour soup was some of the best I've ever had and I'll be craving it! This is exactly what I want when I'm hit with the next plague! Delish! The crab puffs are perfection. The spring roll instead of egg roll wrapper is a game changer! All the yes! Chive and shrimp dumplings were absolute heaven! Rivals what you'd get in Chinatown. Could eat them all day! Then we ordered 2 lunch specials. The chicken wasn't anything special. The rib eye dish was a total disappointment. Zero char. As if it had been velveted to death. The texture was way off. Appreciated that the veggies were crisp but the meat was just not vibing. I would definitely come back for soup and to try more dim sum because that's where they shined.
Had another wonderful experience at Dragon Palace. We took a dear friend to visit Charleston yesterday. We went for a late lunch to the DP. Every bite was delicious. We ordered pot stickers, sui mai, five spice duck, ho fun, generals chicken and house won ton soup. Not many photos because we took much of it for home. The waitress was phenomenal and went above and beyond to make us happy. The ambiance is exceptional for a place in a strip mall.
An authentic Chinese cuisine spot, this place serves delicious dim sum every day except Sundays, when they're closed from 11am-3pm. We stopped by for dim sum and enjoyed a wide variety of dishes. Everything was excellent, from the shu mai to the crystal shui gao. As a special treat, my husband tried fried ice cream for the first time to cap off our meal! We're excited to come back and try more of their menu. It looks like they have a great selection of family-style, authentic Chinese dishes, including some steamed fish. We'll definitely be back soon!
Today my reviews for Dragon Palace on Daniel Island. I think I've been here once before many years ago and I cannot believe it's taken me this long to go back. The food and the service in the ambience were wonderful and I always like when the chef comes out of the kitchen to bring your food to ensure that it is hot and it's fresh and it's tasty as it can be. I look forward to returning and enjoying the dim sum brunch we had this Saturday, but I also want to try many of the other Chinese dishes as everything we did try was delicious:-)
The main dishes are fantastic! It's a good family style chinese restaurant which is rare in charleston. The dim sum tasted a bit off but the normal dishes are great. The best part are the servers they are very attentive and sweet. The decorations and ambiance is nice with great seating. It wasn't packed but there is a large parking lot for parking. The only negative besides the dimsum tasting off is that they will clean the tables with a spray and the mist will flow onto your table. Would suggest using a pre moistened towel to clean the tables instead.
Located in a stripmall in the Publix parking lot on DI, you're unprepared for the beauty contained within. From the moment you open the doors everything transforms and you're swept away to China... From the dark mahogany woods, imperial family table with a built in lazy Susan, the stained glass style lighting and paintings on the ceiling and the wall coverings, chair pads and beyond... You can't beat the $13 lunch special. Potion size, taste, quality... You name it. It's spot on! And you can add a cup of soup with a spring roll for 2 bucks! What a deal! They don't let your water cup or cocktails run dry. Constant service and attentiveness is what you get here.
Great authentic Chinese food. I went to Dim Sum with a friend who is from Hong Kong so she knows whether something is authentic and made from scratch which is exactly what their dumplings and other items are. The flavor was simple yet fresh and flavorful as food should be. It's not a far drive from Mount Pleasant and no reservations are generally needed especially if you go on the early side. Restaurant is a bit dated but the service and food are both make up for the ambiance. I'm looking forward to going back soon.
From the outside it looks like a strictly takeout place. Their sign is on par with the sign for subway next door. They did have to go orders ready at the front door but the whole place is sit down. Very ornate woodwork, wood tables and chairs with nice red silk seat covers. A lot of work went into maintaining the old Chinese restaurant look but it was dated. Reminded me of the restaurant in A Christmas Story. Very nice staff. Was sat quickly and food was out very quick. Child friendly, high chairs available. There is a kids menu (not on the website). I had crispy tofu with mushroom over spinach. Very salty but I like salt. The tofu was like lightly breaded to make it crispy, not dried and fried. Cute place, I would go back again on a family night out but I would not go for a date night.
Delicious Chinese food on Daniel Island. We got there early to avoid the crowd. Good thing because it got busy. It's been quite awhile since I've been here and it did not disappoint. Very nice Chinese Decorations. Our servers were Leon and Anna. She kept our water glasses full since it felt like summer and checked on us often. For adult beverages we had the Mango Mojito which was very refreshing and the Lemon Ginger Martini-both YUMZ. The Dragon Palce Sampler was a delicious assortment of appetizers consisting of Crispy Ginger Shrimp, Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoon, Spring Rolls and Honey Glazed Pork. Loved the Egg Drop Soup which was some of the best ever. We shared the Grand Marnier Shrimp and Sweet n Tangy Pork loin. The Egg Fried Rice hit the spot along with the Bok Choy. Needless to say tomorrow's lunch will be delicious with the abundance of leftovers. Thank you for a very nice lunch. Parking is plentiful. ENJOY!!
Dragon Palace is located in Daniel Island in a strip mall near the Publix. As a result there are no issues with parking. The restaurant is basically non descript from the outside but once you enter it transports you to an Asian oasis. The decor and ambience in here is quite elevated & elegant. The service is quick efficient and staff are super helpful and kind. We had a wonderful experience. The menu is varied and cohesive with dishes from many Asian influences. All of our dishes were delicious hot, not greasy at all and tasty. As far as I am aware it's the only Chinese in the area that is not takeaway based. It's lovely to come sit down in nice surroundings and enjoy some delicious Chinese food. We had a great time and will definitely return.
So this was my first time here. My friend recommended it and I was impressed. We ordered drinks, an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The restaurant was amazing and authentic. The staff was helpful and courteous. I had the walnut shrimp. It was flavorful and del. I love the layout of the restaurant very much"authentic" and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Dragon Palace always has consistently great food. I've tried a variety of menu items and are are tasty, but I wish the spicy dishes would be even spicier. The decor is also one of my favorite aspects, so much beautiful woodwork. The servers have always been kind and we've never had to wait for a table. read more

Very good classic Chinese. Egg rolls, pork dumplings. Lo mein, fried rice. Mongolian chicken was excellent. They recently forgot an item in our takeout order and I didn't realize until we got home -- and they came out to deliver that item to us within a half hour!! Highly recommend. read more

It's probably the only legit Chinese anywhere near Charleston! They have a cute little shop in an unassuming mall, which is beautifully decorated and upkept. The kicker is that on Saturdays, they do a dim sum brunch, and it absolutely rules. We got the mix of dumplings, rolls, and steamed dishes, and all were excellent. The host even made some recommendations, which all panned out and made us happy. All the staff were warm, and the entire facility was clean. Coming from a place with more asian options, my only complaint is the size of the dishes. We got about ten plates for two people, and I had a bowl of rice as well. I could have honestly kept eating, but it was all gone. read more

This is some of the best quality Chinese food that I've ever had. They have great quality meat and veggies. And the food isn't greasy like most Chinese restaurants. I can't deny, most of the entrees are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. read more

My husband and I have been told to try this place for quiet sometime, it's just not close by, however the last couple times we've ordered Chinese I just wasn't satisfied and I warned him the next time he wanted Chinese, we were talking the drive to try it! So this brings me to last week... we arrived and were seated immediately. The place was nice, red my sons favorite color so he was happy lol! There's a bar when you walk in and they were definitely busy with takeout there too! Our server was very knowledgeable and we put our order in for our son which was just a side order of beef lo mein noodles with no veggies and then he suggested we just add on a meat. This was great because we never want to order him a huge order he's only 3.5! And the no veggie part lacks the normal flavor that I love from beef lo mein, so this made us all happy! I must say though their kids menus looked to be like one of the best at a Chinese restaurant. Then we ordered two egg rolls cause I always have to try them wherever we go. And an order of their pork dumplings. I wanted to also try their chow mein cause I've been searching for one like up North and though it sounded like it could've been it, it wasn't! It was a ton of crispy egg noodles, bean spouts, Napa cabbage, carrots and scallions and we chose pork for our meat. It was still really great though! And then we were tossed what we wanted as another entree. I asked him his opinion out of two others and he suggested the five spiced duck. And OH MY! We were in heaven with this dish. It was braised duck with Chinese spices, topped with shallot infused soy, over asparagus, and then we just subbed the white rice out for fried rice though not shown in pic. Oh and when I saw they also made all their own sauces, (not sure for to go orders) I quickly asked for spicy mustard, cause that is my jam. This dish with that mustard was heaven to my tastebuds. I am afraid I would never be able to go there and not order it just as we did! My husband whole heartedly agrees! It was an awesome size portion and it was even great the next day as leftovers! I can't wait to get back here to try some other items along with the duck lolllll read more
Very tasty and dim sum in the South. Dim sum is like none existent here, it seems, so when we found out they served dim sum, I had to go. Moving from San Francisco, I've been spoiled in this delight. Had the typical offerings, Sui Mai, har gow, pork buns, and potstickers. The variety wasn't all there, but some traditional ones for sure. Everything was tasty, and I'm glad we went out of our way to go. It literally seems like it's the only sit-down traditional Chinese restaurant in the state. Lol, definitely not the southern take out Chinese. If you're looking for a great sit-down Chinese, we'll this is your spot read more

Just about the only place for dim sum in Charleston but it's okayyyyy not great. The food- pretty small dim sum menu. Just a few types of dumplings and one type of bun (roast pork). I'm used to the dim sum places with a menu of like 40 dishes to choose from but to be fair this is a Chinese restaurant with dim sum options. So variety was not great. We tried the sesame balls, roast pork buns, vegetable dumplings, and shumai. The sesame balls were yummy but pretty small. Same with the roast pork buns. The vegetable dumplings only had chives in them and nothing else which I thought was odd. The shumai were by far the best and very tasty. The venue- classic Chinese restaurant decor. They have the spinny center disc in the middle of some tables so that was nice for sharing. Overall seemed like a cute place for Chinese. The service- definitely on the slower side (seems understaffed) but our food didn't take long. They forgot to give us utensils and napkins so I had to go to the front to get some. Our waiter/waitress (wasn't clear who it was) was barely present so I just asked random workers for more water and stuff. Overall, so-so experience. BUT if you want dim sum, not a bad choice. I hope to find somewhere with more options! read more

Loved the interior of the restaurant! Great food, the beef lo mein was amazing, by far the best I've ever had! The five spice duck was great too. I'd skip the chicken fried rice. So good overall, will be back! read more
