    "House fried rice"
    Jose C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    General Tso's Chicken lunch special at $9.95.
    Eric L.

    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.

The service was very attentive as expected . There are several large chalkboards filled with specials !

Located SW of sunrise / Ina / n Campbell ave smaller upscale mall with large gold dome on top . Plenty of parking surrounds. I read the mixed Yelp & Yelp elite reviews before arriving , but so enjoyed the great beef tips lunch I would definitely return although I'm not a big city 5 star $$$ guy although.

It was nice and fresh and hot, but the salad was disgusting. I asked for ranch and they put some type of dressing which turns out to be dressing for coleslaw. I advised my waitress to her response was that's the first time I heard someone not lagging it. Interesting didn't offer to switch it out for a plain salad or to switch it for french fries especially since I paid extra to get a salad.. At our table, we also have the chicken strips which is plentiful. It's enough to feed the entire table in fact, so lots of leftovers of that that was also good because it was fresh and hot. My son went for the combo with the snow, crab legs, shrimp, potatoes, and corn. He also said it was delicious, but I don't believe I'll come back. It's unfortunate cause I really did wanna like this place, but without being offered a substitute or the exact same salad minus the dressing that was placed on it that did not taste very good at all. It was sour. For the cost of their food, I'd rather spend my money elsewhere

We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday card that was presented at the dinner table was a nice touch. My cousin also received some chocolate bon bons that were really good.
