Golden Dragon - House Special Lo Mein Lunch - Chinese Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food was so delicious! Some things I ordered were chop suey and shrimp foo young. The foo young had that delicious wok flavor. I couldn't stop eating it, even for breakfast and cold! I tried the chop suey as leftover and cold and I couldn't stop shoveling it in! Truly delicious! The flavor was almost sweet with huge chunks of vegetables and just truly amazing. read more

I ordered food for pickup here: Peking duck ($69.95), curry vegetables with fried rice ($13.95), and warr wonton soup ($13.95). The Peking duck has to be ordered at least 24 hours in advance. The soup is a little bland, but I added some hot sauce to it at home. The duck is great; the curry is also good. The food was ready for pickup when it was supposed to be. read more

Wouldn't let me give it less stars. The best part about the experience was the Door Dash delivery. Sesame chicken was inedible. Full of fatty chicken pieces that had no spice and very little flavor. The fried rice was the blandest, worst fried rice I have ever eaten. I don't understand how it could be this bad for our go to Chinese food. I don't know if it is the different location than we usually go to or a bad night. Either way, this family will be looking for a new restaurant. read more

They used to have the most amazing Mongolian beef back when I was in high school... late 90s... now it's one of the most flavorless in town.... read more

Id rate it 3.5 if I could. Pretty good taste and fine service. Lots of options and good portions. Not like an amazing taste but still good

on Xmas Day I ordered a dinner for 4 at noon,to be picked up at 5;30. At 4, they called to say our order was ready? My wife said it as for 5;30,so the lady said she would re-do it, and give what they had cooked to others? When we went to pick it up, she said it was as she had said.When we opened up the food,10 minutes after,it was all ice cold, the mooshu pancakes were like soda crackers, and the meal was unacceptable. We were lied to and cheated. Never again at Golden Dragon. Stay away from this place. read more

Terrible. The house fried rice I ordered looked and tasted old and reheated. No flavor and barely any meat. This place used to be good. It's a shame. read more

Disappointing. The noodle dish was supposed to be pork but it was 98% noodles. The food used to be much better.

I was somewhat hesitant about eating here after seeing the 3 star rating on Yelp. But we had been driving around Tucson for sometime and couldn't agree on anything else, so Chinese at Golden Dragon it was. The restaurant is quite small with about 9 or 10 tables, but a friendly and cozy atmosphere with lots of takeout customers coming and going. Our server tried so hard to balance our initial table that was wobbly, but eventually reseated us at the larger table next to us, the only other available. We ordered oolong tea to have with our meal, and then their chicken foo young, sesame beef, crunchy rice with vegetables and chicken, and chicken chop suey. Steamed rice was also included. Total before tip: $52.84. I enjoyed everything but as for my wife; the chicken foo young and chop suey, not so much. She thought the chicken was too salty and the chop suey veggies overcooked. But plenty of leftovers for a meal the following day in our hotel room, before heading off to see Hamilton at Centennial Hall. Not great Chinese food here but definitely above average. read more

My father took me to this place near his home, and we went there, there was a bald man at the door that day he was kind of rude to us. But that's not the main concern. My concern is how I felt about 15 /20 minutes after eating here. And so did my father and later that evening so did my husband because I took him a dish to go, well something in the rice or in the green pepper meat or the lomein dish was making all of us have excruciating pain in our stomachs.. and here I am at 2:53 am still on the toilet on and off all day after eating here. I am not sure if the meat they sold was old meat or what. If poisoned or what. Or if the other people who were there that day also had this problem, I'm not sure but I can declare to you with certainty that I've eaten street food from many places abroad but it has not amounted in how I am right now. And that's speaking for myself I can't speak on the behalf of my family who's also been affected by this situation.. please be aware i hate to even write this review like this but i never get stomach aches like this after eating.. I hope they are serving quality food at least please, I like to support small family businesses but dang. These corners can't be cut like that. read more

This is the BEST Golden Dragon in Tucson. So clean so friendly and the food is absolutely perfectly delicious!! Great spot:) read more

Delivery or pickup only. 3* all the way. Easy order and 100% accurate. Thanks for that. Packaged well too. We had sesame beef, northern vegetarian, and mushu chicken. It was all standard fare and taste. You can do better and you can do worse. It worked in a pinch. read more

This isn't going to be the best Chinese meal you've ever had, but just about everything I've had here is good and I've been eating there since the 80s. The lunch special was $2.95 back then ($9.95 now). The lunch specials are particularly good for the cost. You can get in and out quickly and the service is good. Order a water and it's one of the few places where you can get a lunch special nowadays for $10, and it's filling. Soup is included but not in my picture. Keep in mind the other Golden Dragons have different reputations but this one is usually the best. See the other reviews to get an idea. Tip: There's more parking behind the restaurant. Drive around and you'll see a little walkway to the front. Much easier than trying to wedge into the small spots at that shopping center. read more

Website didn't work and when I went to pick up order, no record of the order. Waited for then to make it and when I got home there wasn't much protein in the orders. Very disappointed. read more

Grabbed some take out from here as a last minute change of plans. We ordered chicken and green beans and chicken and vegetables. We also had the crab wontons. The food was pretty average. Nothing stood out, but everything was good. I'd def go back and try some other things! read more

Delicious food fresh still hot great service consistent taste ....been going here for sometime never disappointed

Had high hopes for Sunrise/Swan to be a go to but didn't hit the mark. Good menu, easy online ordering and fast delivery. Vietnamese egg rolls were great...but Hong Kong chow mein had very little pork and kung pao was almost all chopped celery. Too bad cause the flavor and spice level of the sauce was very good. Might try one more time with different dishes but pretty disappointed. read more

Ordered tonight for the first time for my birthday. Very happy! It arrived wicked hot, even from a fair distance. All special requests were fully addressed without any hassle. Both my husband and my entree were packed tight and tasted fresh and fantastic. Hubby's seafood was perfectly cooked and my veggies were the perfect crisp tender. My cashews were soft, not mushy, everything was super flavorful, Dishes were well sauced (not watery) and I cannot believe we'd never considered mixing hot mustard with sweet sour (as recommended on their website) because it's fantastic. Our egg rolls were plump and incredibly delicious (vegetable), the order was well packaged with no spillage/leakage and I'd strongly recommend and will reorder soon. Just really amazing food, which can be so bland on vegetarian dishes. Very satisfied and the huge portions leave us dinner for tomorrow (and maybe a day after!). read more

This was our first experience here after a friend's recommendation. The inside is small but cozy and clean. I felt a little rushed by the server at first but service got better once we placed our orders. We tried the walnut shrimp and the Peking wonton soup. Though I've had better wontons outside of Tucson, these were one of the better ones I've had locally. I really enjoyed the shrimp, and the broccoli that came with this dish was steamed just right. I'm very happy with our meal and will be back to try other dishes. read more

We order from here, for delivery occasions. Mostly fresh & good. Occasionally the portions become reduced - not sure whether this is a new thing or just one time. We'll try again! read more

Have been going here for several years. I ordered veggie egg rolls for the first time, they were AWFUL!!! No taste, no flavor, just terrible. read more

Eat in? Not so much. Take out, yes! Really enjoy the Hot and Sour Soup, House Special Lo Mein, Mongolian Beef, and many other dishes.

We have gone again several times and find Golden Dragon is back to the way it once was. Everything is very fresh and our order is now complete. Love it again! read more

Every single dish we got was horrible from the Mongolian beef through the house lo mein to the egg rolls. Everything was horrible.

Ok. Maybe not quite a 4, but it was ok. Been a long time since I was at this location. It has completely changed! Modernized. Clean. Smaller. Better service. Menu hasn't changed in decades. Order house noodles. Tastes the same. Comes with soup. Nothing special. But solid. I asked for them to make it spicy. They did. This place is so consistent. The flavors have not changed in years. So if you want reliable, here it is. You always know what you are getting. read more

Make sure you check your receipt. They charged my son almost three times more than the menu price without telling him. When we noticed and went back in they didn't even apologize. This is not an honest business! read more

This used to be my family's hands down favorite place whenever we had a craving for Chinese food. The entrees were so savory, steaming hot and freshly made. However over the years there has been a steady and consistent decline. Most notable the sweet and sour chicken has become something of an unsettling mystery, the chicken is now rubbery, odd tasting cubes that can hardly be chewed. We tried it several times in case there was just one off visit but have decided it's too alarming and distasteful to order ever again. Our other favorite entrees are just not hitting the mark. Also the prices have become increasingly higher which is understandable but unfortunately we can no longer justify Golden Dragon as a reliable source for our Chinese food choice. read more

The food was very good. It reminded me of East Coast classic Chinese fare. The ingredients appeared fresh. The service was a little weak. The ambiance was calm and minimalist. I will return and would recommend this restaurant. Please note that there is another Golden Dragon on Speedway. This rating is for the one on Sunrise read more

Awful !! Tasteless food regardless of what you order. I've sampled several dishes Not one was memorable. read more

One of our favorite places to take out or have delivered! Extremely friendly, great delivery service. we love the Sweet and Sour pork and Family Buddha meals! read more

Hunan beef is excellent. Sauce is slightly spicy yet slightly sweet. The Star is the stir fried rice with beef, chicken and shrimp. Great flavor Mongolian beef. Beef was tender, garlic sauce not spicy. Not bad just meh. The Orange chicken and beef is just okay. The flavor of the sauce is good. Very sticky and sweet with good orange flavor. The batter on the meat is light and crispy but the meat itself is dry and chewy. I've tried both the beef and the chicken and both meats end up tough to chew like jerky. Hunan beef has the same battered meat but doesn't seem to have the same tough jerky problem and I'd recommend it over the orange chicken dish. Wonton soup had good flavor. The man who takes the orders is very nice and the staff is quick to have the meal ready. Portion are good sized and not skimpy. We usually order three dishes for 3 adults and two kids. read more

Awful, skip this place. Egg rolls soggy and cold, mushu pork greasy and tasted bad. Szechuan Chicken had no sauce, only vegetable was celery. Worse Chinese meal in recent memory. At least I didn't get sick... read more

Consistently good food. I highly recommend this place. Advice: Mu Shu Fried Rice Warr Wonton Soup All made with low sauces so healthier than otherwise. read more

Hate to leave a poor review, but the food here has gone downhill for sometime. Last time we went, it was not even edible. Chicken tasted old/bad, and the shrimp with lobster sauce didn't have much shrimp and was basically yucko soup. Find another place to eat Chinese food. read more

Made an order through Door Dash, which said food would be ready in 30-45 minutes. Went to the restaurant 30 minutes later and they said food was not even started, he didn't see a door dash order. This is not the first time the amount of time quoted by them or on their behalf for food being ready was completely underestimated (also has happened when we called orders directly to the restaurant). Then the gentleman working the counter said it would be another 45 minutes before the food would be ready and showed no amount of remorse that he missed seeing the order entirely. He seemed completely disorganized. Who has 1.5 hours to wait for mediocre chinese food? No thanks: we won't be ordering from here again. read more

Really bad food. The chicken was like rubber. The beef & pork was dry and old. Think again before going there. read more

We've enjoyed the Golden Dragon on Sunrise and Swan for decades. But lately, and as of tonight, I am really concerned about their chicken dishes. I ordered a vegetable chicken dinner months ago and the chicken was so shoe leather weird and tough I couldn't eat it. Recently I ordered the Sesame Chicken, a pretty predictable dish just about anywhere we go, and it was also strange. Tough, too tough to eat --wiry, stringy, tough, thin, as if it wasn't chicken at all. Kinda spooked me. I couldn't eat it, though I tried. I'm afraid to imagine what it actually is, but if you told me it was chicken feet tendons or pork anus I might believe it. But it's NOT chicken breast or thighs. And it's NOT edible, even at $11.95 in delicious sauce. Don't let the sauce fool you, you could eat cardboard with their sauces. Look, I love this restaurant. Some of their dishes are the best in all of Tucson. But now I'm concerned and frightened by their chicken dishes. I hope they read this and listen: don't destroy your great reputation by doing creepy stuff to your chicken dishes. Raise the prices, do whatever, just don't serve what you are selling as chicken anymore: it's NOT chicken, even if in generous portions. Please. read more
