Dragon Village Menu Front
Michael K.

We moved to the Cloverdale area in 2006 and this was the first place we tried in the area for Chinese food and we haven't looked back since. The restaurant itself is pretty much a "hole in the wall" and lacks any sort of decor and it's definitely geared more as a take out or delivery joint. That said, you can eat in if you like and it's comfortable enough (we've never eaten in mind you). It appears to be a family run operation and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The young lady in front constantly amazes me in regards to how efficient she is in handling the phones and taking care of customers at the front. That girl is going places! Ordering over the phone is quick and easy and when we have had to have it delivered, it arrived in around 30 minutes which is totally acceptable by my standards anyway. When I order for take out it's usually ready in 10 - 20 minutes! The food itself is well priced and delicious (and always piping hot) not to mention the dish sizes are generous. We usually stick to the basics due to our young children which tends to be chicken chow mien, beef and tomato, sweet and sour pork and vegetable chop suey. We've had other dishes in the past and they've also been excellent. We've eaten at many many Chinese restaurants over the years and this is by far the best we've ever had. One thing we really like is the plastic dishes they put the food in for take out. You can re-use them for other things once you're done with them (left overs from your own cooking for instance!). Most places give you styrofoam for everything or the aluminum type containers. It's nice to know I can make use of these later on and they don't go right into the garbage nt to mention they store the leftovers nicely for the next day. So yah, if you're looking for some great take out or delivery chinese food, at least give these guys a shot as I'm pretty sure you'll be back again, again and again.

Been looking for a decent Chinese food with decent pricing and found it here. The restaurant itself needs a lot of work, carpets dirty, walls scary but if you do takeout you have nothing to worry about which I did. I have to say the food was good and the portions were huge. I ordered 6 different plates and I can tell you that I won't have to cook for another 3 days. Portion sizes are massive. I ordered hot pot and when I opened the container it spilled because it was so full. The quality itself I good, your typical westernized Chinese food but still pretty good. I would and I will be ordering from this place.

Massive 5.60 lunch special.

This is the kind of Chinese-Canadian food I grew up going to: a small, local, family-run place that has been going forever in a small town (which Cloverdale used to be), serving heaping plates of yummy, oily, flavour-spiked favorites. The decor is bland, but that is part of the charm. I've never ordered out here, but the lunch specials provide enough food for leftovers, at a great value. Leftovers are an essential part of the experience at a place like this - you get the sense that they pride themselves on providing so much food per plate as a show of great hospitality. At the same time, the low prices mean that they get some real characters coming in. I heard several people picking up food ask for extra soy sauce, and I got the impression they wanted to save it so they didn't have to buy a bottle for their own cooking. I'm glad places like this still exist. Let's keep eating here, so they will continue to.

Lunch special - almond chicken and chow mein

This is some of the best Chinese food in Cloverdale. They get busy because they're good. Great for take out. Or delivery!

This is an amazing place to order takeout food. They were busy but very efficient. The food came out very tasty. Great bang for your buck.

My friend and I were at EMW for lunch today and absolutely loved it. We had salt and pepper prawns…read morewith salad and chicken satay with chow Mein noodles and Jasmine Tea. Everything was so fresh and delicious and the service was great. I look forward to ordering from here again soon.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE, THE OWNER IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTINGAND VERY RUDE…read more During the pandemic, through encouragement of our local community, two times a week, we support immediately local to walnut grove, non chain businesses for dinner EMW used to be a regular for our household. our kids love their bubble teas and their noodles. If you look on our Uber eats app, they are probably the most ordered on our three accounts. Before we have had issues with inconsistency but never anything to really prevent us from ordering again. Until today. It wasn't even the inconsistency and lack of blatant concern for the special instructions. IT WAS THE OWNERS DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR that made me leave this review and will PERMANENTLY remove EMW from my rotation. I ordered my usual today. 3 satee meals - one extra spicy and one chow mein regular. Now as I said before we order ALLLLLL the time so we are very aware of their menu and how their food should taste... might I also add we are from the caribbean, so we arent afraid of spicy food. I shared my kids dinner as I normally would, and my one year old started screaming and hollering gasping for air crying HOT hot hot.. I grabbed her and my husband checked the box and said no this is hers. Well they didnt make ONE spicy ... they made ALL THREE extra spicy.. and asian spice is of a different level of heat. even now shes still drinking water and crying, 30 mins after. I simply called them saying there was an error on the order and i was wondering how i could switch out the food, expecting that i would just drive and swap them out. The lady on the phone did not really understand what i was saying so she put a gentleman on the phone who introduces himself as the cook and starts to immediately go off and insist that he did nothing wrong. I said to him we eat there all the time .. the regular satee stylie is fine for us.. my husband is the one who eats the extra spicy without blinking an eye. he continues to say he did nothing wrong and i said to him this is ridiculous i have nothing to feed my kids now, i cant even eat it. THIS MAN LAUGHED AFTER ME and continued to say that he did nothing wrong and when i tried to answer he hung up the phone one me. I called back He answered the phone i told him he was very rude to hang up the phone and that i need to speak to the manager. He said he was the owner and cook, and that hes not speaking to me further. I told him id be making a formal complaint to UBER eats about this becuase now i have to spend more money to get my kids dinner. He simply couldve swapped the food out. I am pretty sure he cooked all the satee styles together, or did not switch pots in between ( they were the exact same order just one with a different level of spice) THERE ARE OTHER LOCAL RESTAURANTS MORE WORTHY OF YOUR DOLLAR. IN A UNPRECEDENTED TIME LIKE THIS PLEASE SUPPORT THOSE WHO CARE, HAVE MANNERS AND ACTUALLY APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HELPING TO KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN. I WILL ABSOLUTELY NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DOLLAR HERE IN MY LIFE. i DO NOT DESERVE TO BE YELLED AT AND MOCKED OVER AN ERROR ON A ORDER. THE OWNER IS ABSOLUTELY UNDESERVING OF THE KINDNESS OF THIS COMMUNITY!

Drove down from courtenay to meet with a friend to go to the…read moreCity & Colour show and she suggested the Block as she had been before. Ambiance was great - super warm and welcoming which was magnified by the host. Super lovely. Then the wait staff. Whoever is hiring/training is doing a great job! Not drinking right now but the cocktail menu was super tempting. Every menu item sounded great. We got some help on ordering from our servers and Tanya picked ones she had enjoyed before. We also sat right beside the pick up window so it was fun seeing food come out! The food was fantastic. See pictures for what we ordered. Not sure if I can remember the names of everything but it was a perfect combo!!

So straight up this place went and took us to places we hadn't been prior to eating at the Block…read more Overall a very enjoyable experience for sure, but you cannot pigeonhole this place, which is a very good thing! We are big fans of traditional fare, but the Block is a place we are so glad we experienced and will certainly return utilizing the knowledge we garnered during our first experience. A big thank you to for helping us through picking one price fixe January exploration of your local restaurants and filling it with other ala carte additions. As we often do we ordered far too much food, wanting to explore everything off a menu that is far reaching. Not sure if our additions worked with the price fixe menu, but we sure enjoyed checking everything out. The interior is interesting with the addition of structural steel in the space to keep this heritage building (I think) standing tall for a few generations. We sure hope it's still here for a long while and will most likely come again the next time we are in Victoria. That is saying a lot as there are a wide range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, but you do want to check the Block out!
