    Banh xeo
    Serena L.

    Second time visiting golden dragon! Loved that they had special Viet food on a separate menu for you to try and highly recommend! Banh xeo was huge with plentiful of fresh veggies for you to wrap it with. Dish is light which is perfect for the warmer months and can easily feed 2-3 people. The Vietnamese sandwich is just ok. Would recommend adding more pickled veggies to it. Service was great! Everyone checked in on you throughout the visit. Restaurant was casual with open seating. Plenty of spots for parking.

    I dropped by Golden Dragon to get a taro-flavored boba. When I entered the restaurant, they were pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon but the lady said I could sit at the counter and the young lady asked what I was waiting for and I said I wanted to order a taro boba. She immediately processed my order and rang me up at a register on the other side of the room; the transaction was quick and easy; the young lady was very accommodating and boba tasted great. Overall, it was brief but positive visit.

    3A. Bun Bo Hue
    Jenlyn W.

    Been here twice and loved my dining experience here twice. The restaurant is very spacious with a bar in the middle. Even though the sign upon entering says "please wait to be seated," they give you the option to pick any available seating they have. The service here is always friendly and quick and informative if you're not custom to traditional Vietnamese cuisine. What I like most about Golden Dragon is that they have food like bánh xèo (Vietnamese savory crepe that's filled with either pork or shrimp), bún riêu (vermicelli noodles in a tomato crab soup), bò bía (a lot like a spring roll but the usual fillings are jicama, Chinese sausage, eggs and herbs, bò kho (beef stew served) with bread but you can also add noodles among the popular Vietnamese dishes. The food here reminds me of home. The first time, I tried their bun bo hue because I'm a sucker for well made bun bo hue (this place lets you add in the spice yourself so you can have adjust the spice to your liking). I love the chả lụa (Vietnamese ham), pork blood, tendon, beef slices in it topped with shredded cabbage, thai basil and lime juice. The broth is hearty and warming. I dropped in a second time for some chicken pho. Delicious broth and generous amount of chicken topped with green onions. Also to note, all food portions here are huge.

    Very good food, me and a my boyfriend come every 2 weeks, the food is always good and the service is amazing we always get the same waiter his name is Vinny super cool guy always friendly and attentive I would 100% recommend this place.

    Roast Duck over Rice.
    Justin C.

    Food was fantastic. I had the duck over rice, and it was cooked perfectly with great flavor and texture. Every appetizer we tried was tasty and crisp, clearly made fresh and done right. Everything felt well prepared and satisfying. Service was smooth and attentive, especially for a newer restaurant. Staff was welcoming and made sure everything came out correctly. Ambiance is small but functional. The space is not huge, but it works well and feels comfortable for what it is. Overall, 10 out of 10 for a new restaurant. Great food, solid service, and a strong first impression.

    Roast Duck Noodle Soup
    Jennifer N.

    FOOD - Roast Duck Noodle Soup: egg noodles with roasted duck and bok choy. The soup was so savory. The duck was very meaty and plentiful. The portion was huge! I asked for no green onions and there was so much green onions! Took me a few minutes to scoop them out. This is possibly the best mi vit tiem I've ever had. 5/5 SERVICE: The young lady who took our order was very friendly (and pretty)! She was attentive and welcoming. 4.5/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area. The food was very good. My husband and kids enjoyed their pho. I was so sad that I didn't see bun rieu on their separate menu. That's what I was craving. Now I have to return for it!

    The Golden Dragon took over the old location of Pho 999, in the Franktown Corners shopping center. The interior is spacious if not a bit spartan. We went with a large group of friends, so lots of pics of the dishes. The consensus was that the food was "Good". My wife had the Korean Short Ribs over Rice. I was able to sneak a few bits. This dish was really good. The short ribs had a nice, grilled taste. The ribs were flavorful and tender. Really Good. I had the House Special Pho. A traditional Pho dish, served with rare steak, brisket, tripe, tendon and meatballs. What determines if a Pho is good versus amazing is often the broth. On this occasion, I thought the broth was just "okay". Overall the dish was fine but not the best Pho I have ever had. The service was good, as the restaurant was quite busy for a Sunday evening. Would I come here again ? Sure. Enough of our friends seemed to enjoy their meals, so happy to try more dishes.

    This Viet Restaurant has one of the best Bánh xèo I've ever had. The thin pancake has a slight chewy interior texture while the exterior is crispy and crunchy. It is stuffed with ground pork, shrimps, bean sprouts and mung beans and is eaten as a wrap with lettuce, mint and other pickled veggies which they give you a huge helping of. Dip it in their special fish sauce and you'll constantly crave for this incredibly tasty dish. Its large serving size is definitely shareable unless you have a huge appetite. The restaurant is bright and inviting and the servers are very attentive and friendly. Definitely coming back when I'm in the Reno area.

    My friends used to come to 999 Pho when it was still at this location and when my boyfriend and I heard that there's a new pho place that took over, we were excited to try it. Our first impression was that the atmosphere has been completely transformed and got a new make over - the interior of this restaurant is nice and spacious! We came on a Friday night and it was not completely busy to the point where we had to wait to be seated but quite a few tables, especially large parties, were filled. We were seated right away. Though the host asked another waitress to seat us but then the waitress went to cater to another table after being asked to do so. It was a few seconds until she realized we were waiting for her to seat us and apologized and told us we can go to table that we liked. My boyfriend and I ordered the house special pho, rare steak pho, spring rolls, and a thai tea. There was no sauce dishes on the table so we had to ask them for it when we received our pho. Food was okay. The biggest issue I had was that we never received the thai tea. It took me until after we got our pho that I realized we never received it. I was planning on asking the waitress for the status on it but at that point I didn't want it anymore after the service we experienced. They still charged us for the thai tea on the receipt so we had to ask them to remove it. A waitress came by and dropped off a complimentary green dessert which we appreciated though she didn't say a word to us or told us what it was. Overall, the service was really what negatively impacted our experience.

    Golden Dragon in Reno is a solid four star spot. We tried the beef noodle soup with rice noodles and the pho combo. Both dishes came out steaming hot which was amazing, especially on a cold day. The beef was tender and the broth had a comforting savory flavor. The pho did not taste as authentic as it could be, but it was still enjoyable and satisfying. Service was quick, portions were generous, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Overall, a good place for a warm bowl of noodles in Reno.

    Heaven and earth

    Pho is ok 5/10. Very oily n earthy. Had the heaven and earth, it was ok. Rice was hard. Not enough protein portion on the roast pork (3 slices). Never came back for water refill. Water smells somewhat like bleach also.

    Get the wings!!
    Chris J.

    The food was very good. It was hour and half before closing so the service was perfect. The place is big and clean. The food has flavor. We will def be back for more stuff.

    Molly M.

    Located in the Franktown Corners Shopping Center. We were greeted and seated immediately, the place was clean and our server was so friendly. The spicy beef stew was good and came out piping hot! But it wasn't really spicy, had to add more hot sauce. My son got the beef stew noodle soup and it was really good! Really good flavor, had yams in it which was delicious! The soup bowls are very big btw. I tried the vermicelli stir fried beef, I wish there was as much meat to rice ratio, my only minor complaint. Because I also got the bbq banh mi sandwich and it was excellent!!! Lots of meat! Crunchy roll! Yum! Bathrooms are located outside to the left and need a key code.

I ordered a Korean cheese corn dog with ketchup, mustard and sugar, an order of dumplings, pickled radishes, a plain croffle, and two drinks.

It was a beautiful evening and we enjoyed the outside patio dining with our dog. They took our order quickly and the burgers came out pretty quick as well, within 30 min or so.

We ordered the Imperial Japanese Chicken Wings, the Frenchified Burger, and an order of poutine. The star of the meal was the chicken wings with the wasabi ranch dipping sauce. The seasoned shoestring fries served alongside were also excellent. The burger was very good, but it was essentially meat, sauce, and cheese. I like a little freshness on my burgers, so I was missing some lettuce and tomato. Fortunately, I substituted a salad for the fries and ended up piling most of it onto the burger. Next time, I'll just ask for those toppings to be added. The poutine, however, didn't quite live up to the versions I've had elsewhere. I'm not sure if they used white cheddar curds, but they were almost completely melted instead of retaining that signature squeaky texture. The gravy was just okay, and I don't think shoestring fries are the best choice for poutine since they don't hold up as well under the toppings. Overall, I'd definitely come back--especially for the wings and another burger.

Service was friendly no complaints there Overall food was not very flavorful.. too many flavor combinations trying to be fancy and for the prices of each dish I would not recommend this place. I saw it was on the yelp top 100 at one point..so I had wanted to check it out.. but it was very disappointing. A glass bottle of very warm water with the 2 smallest glasses with ice was brought to the table first. Ice is nice especially when its 100 degrees outside. But the glass was like a shot glass and with the water being so warm by the time we ordered our food all of the ice was melted which made that 1st glass of water cold which was a couple of gulp but then you're left with warm water. Food presentation was very beautiful. Taste of food wasn't anything you'd come back for. We ordered the mushroom raviolis.i expected a white sauce as it said creme sauce but it was a red sauce. It came with crispy potatoes which were very thinly sliced and fried potatoes and a citrus salad which was arugula and a very tasty dressing. There was maybe 5 raviolis not great..the red sauce is all you can taste some loose mushrooms around the raviolis in the sauce. The fried potatoes great in presentation ok in taste but I wish there was more potato in each bite. The arugula and dressing were the best thing I ate out of 4 dishes I tried. We also had the potato taquitos which I was looking forward to but it was very dense and the potato tasted like how a bad potato smells. Other than that it was very very bland. Nice crisp on the taquito. The gnocchi pasta dish was also no flavor. The sausage in it was good. 2nd favorite item was the slice of bread toasted on both sides. The bread was almost as big as the food on the plate. The 4th dish was the potstickers which also were just ok.
