Taiwanese rice
Frank R.

This place is very good. They have a large variety of different foods to try. I have never tried some of the items that they have. I like to try new things they cook their rice perfectly. Everything was well seasoned and enjoyed by my entire family. We got an order to go. Everyone was happy with what they got. The shrimp in the lo mein was very good.

This is set in a corner of some other stores with plenty of parking. I came here with a friend thinking they were open later than they were. They were so nice by still letting us order food to go even though they were closed. They also had an orchid shop and gave me some very helpful information to help the one I have. We got the cream cheese wontons, pork dumpling, And the chicken and broccoli. Everything was super good. I do wish they gave some more sauce to go. But aside from that, there's nothing else I can say I wish they did better. I'll definitely be going back. Hopefully to dine in next time

This is a tasty and small restaurant located inside a busy plaza so parking can be difficult especially on the weekends They're open daily 11am-9pm (except Sun - 11am-8:30pm) Menu had a good variety of popular Chinese dishes. There is lunch special on weekdays 11am-3pm and it comes with rice and soda. There are 7 dishes to choose from and each dish is $9.95! Pretty good deal! Pork & Shrimp Siu Mai ($4.99) was underwhelming and tasted quite bland. There wasn't really shrimp and it seemed just frozen dim sum. Mongolian Beef ($15.65) was delicious! The beef was very tender and very flavorful! I was impressed with the portion size and how how beef there was! Chicken Fried Rice Cakes ($13.95) was very good! The rice cakes were soft and chewy. The chicken was very flavorful and not too salty. Beef Chow Mein ($12.94) was ok. Not used to thick noodles used but it tasted alright. There was a lot of beef and shrimp and it was it was packed with flavor! Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and would recommend!

Salt & Pepper Fish Fillet ($14.65) - The fish was fried perfectly and not oily at all. It was well seasoned and spiced, too. I'm grateful the server recommended this to me!

Orange Chicken (lunch special)
Christina V.

Quick and friendly service. Great place if you're craving Chinese fast food but want the quality of a higher end restaurant. They offer the classic favorites like Ornage Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Broccoli Beef and Sautéed Green Beans but they are not very greasy. The vegetables are fresh and crunchy, and the breading on the Orange Chicken is thin and crispy. For me, this place is a low guilt indulgence go-to when I don't feel like cooking and need to pick up a family meal quickly. Also, their lunch specials are really affordable and generous in portion size.

Kung Pao Chicken
Robert S.

Wow. Great casual lunch restaurant. Simple menu with all lunch entrees for $9.95 (April 2025) and includes rice and a soda. Fresh, fast, hot, very flavorful food. Loved both the kung pao chicken (savory and slightly sweet) and mongolian beef (super tender beef)! Also ordered beef chow fun ala carte! Cashier was the waiter as well. Shy and kind and very professional. Clean and spacious seating with lots of windows. You know it's good when local workers eat here.

Vibes: 7/10 Marry/F*ck/Kill: the orange chicken, the dumplings, spicy popcorn chicken Food: 8/10 Do they have domestic beer??: no alcohol but coke products and speciality canned beverages. Overall: - Only place i will this type of food now, beyond fire. Not over sauced, not over fried, no weird pieces. All the sauces are homemade you can tell from the fresh garlic and seasoning. Big menu, lots options - even your kid or lame friend will find something here. - This place cooks nearly everything fresh! That is good for patience/nice/kind people, if you aren't that go home. We came in on Christmas Eve, not many dining in but lots of togos and our food came out about 15/20 mins after ordering. - I would say order ahead if you're doing to-go, usually only 2 workers, one cooking & one serving. Angry customer was there but the server handled it perfectly but giving him his food and ignorin him lol. - Highly recommend in comparison to the other local spots in this area, food is fresh and fabulous!

$9.95 Lunch Deal That'll Blow Your Mind: Unexpectedly awesome lunch find! Found this spot kind of randomly, and wow -- what a great surprise. Golden Dragon might not look fancy from the outside, but the food hits so right. Their $9.95 lunch special is a steal -- you get rice + a drink included, and portions are solid. No MSG either, which I really appreciate. Here's what I tried: Orange Chicken - Super crispy, not soggy at all. The sauce was tangy and just sweet enough without being too sticky. Legit one of the better versions I've had in a while. Mongolian Beef - Tender beef, savory sauce, and the onions still had a little crunch. I wasn't expecting much, but it totally delivered. Salt & Pepper Fish - Crispy, flavorful, and not greasy. The diced peppers and onions gave it some nice texture and heat. Would 100% order again. Pot Stickers - Classic, golden pan-fried dumplings. Crispy bottom, juicy filling. Exactly what you want from a potsticker. Beef Noodle Soup - The pork bone broth is deep and rich -- super comforting. If you like noodle soups, don't skip this one. Quick service, chill atmosphere, and everything came out fresh and hot. For under $10? Kinda wild these days. If you're in the area during lunch hours (Mon-Fri 11am-3pm), this spot is seriously worth checking out. Hidden gem vibes.

Pork pot stickers with great dipping sauce.
Jill M.

Fresh and fast! A simple, no frills sit down or takeout restaurant with quick and friendly service. We were pleasantly surprised how fresh and clean all the ingredients were. Everything comes out piping hot. We were also impressed by the table condiments, which include soy sauce, Sriracha, black vinegar and what seems to be homemade chili oil. Its a great addition to our little corner of Vista. We look forward to going back again!

Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
Michelle L.

Great food! Excellent customer service! Would definitely come back again! Try it out! You won't disappoint! I want to come back again to try their hot & sour soup, Ma-Po tofu, and pot sticker! I asked no sugar for all of my dishes (I do this everywhere) and they came out perfect. Just what I wanted!

Lunch special L Broccoli Beef

Actually amazing spot. Got a new job in town and this is the most dependable lunch spot with great 10$ lunch specials M-F. Nice and friendly staff as well. 100/10

Ask the Community - Golden Dragon

Is your food MSG free?

Yes, none of the dishes used MSG.

Just curious - is there any relationship to the Golden Dragon that was on E. Vista Way, which closed down a few years ago?

No, we are a brand new Chinese restaurant

I've been going to this place for many years and there has been changes in ownership every couple…read moreof years. I came here today and was told there's been another change most recently 2 months ago. This by far his has been the most pleasant visit. The food was fresh and the dumpling wrapper was thin. The soup dumplings were filled with soup and the pot stickers were pan fried to perfection. They've also added more dish options to the menu as well. They've updated their indoor decor and it's nice and clean. Highly recommend this place and will be back very soon!

It's been quite awhile since we've dined here. We came in not expecting to see the updated…read moreinterior and learned that the business is under new management. I always preferred this spot for soup dumplings. And that's what we had today. Both my husband and I each ordered the Xiao Long Bao (8pc) along with a side of Bok Choy with Garlic. Gotta get in our greens! (I really wanted the Spinach with garlic but was told they sold out yesterday.) Everything was delicious. We even ordered one more Xiao Long Bao! What I really liked about the dumplings was that the exterior did not break when grabbed with chopsticks. Pliable. Soup stayed in the dumpling until I pierced it. (At Joyee, many times dumplings stick to the paper and rips. Soup spills out. The dough can be a little chewy.) We also had tea with our meal. My husband with the Taro Milk Tea with Boba and me with the Tropica Fruit Tea. My tea was quite refreshing. I forget everything that's in it but there's jasmine tea with a mix of fruit tea, a mint leaf, and pieces of fruit - strawberry, blueberry, pineapple. My husband enjoyed his drink too. Boba was nice and chewy. Dumplings were being made as we were leaving. Who doesn't love freshly made dumplings?! Almost forgot to mention that the service was great. The employee was very friendly and helpful. Stop by and support this small business!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the food from this place!!!…read more "Curry Fried Rice" is a must try item!!!! Lunch specials are a great price here compared to other places, not only is the food delish, it's all so very fresh tasting!! I also love tht u can see how fresh everything is made as the kitchen is open for all to see, the owner runs a tight ship, food is made fresh and quickly right before ur eyes!! Definitely a favorite place for me and my friends! Restaurant is small and unassuming, more like a "to go" sorta kinda restaurant...if ur on a budget, this is a great place to order "to go", food will not disappoint!!

Consistently THE BEST in Chinese food and crab boil!!!…read more My daughter said it's her new favorite place! It's family owned and ran, you will feel so welcomed and at home here. If you are in a rush or not social, no worries, she makes food homemade AND fast for you and won't bother you. No worries. If you are social, say hello, she will become a beloved neighbor and you will feel welcomed and cared for. The food is top notch! Quality. She will let you know if it's freshness and is very transparent. One time she ran out of fresh corn and let me know before I ordered. And offered me other ideas. I'm completely fine with frozen corn, I like corn with my crab boil, but how nice and honest of her to tell me! It was all so delicious and my daughter gets the potstickers and they are pan fried, such a perfect crunch to them! And beef chow mein. My daughter and I share it and still have leftovers. Sesame balls are my favorite and makes them perfectly. She has plenty of drink choices too. Go now and enjoy. Except Mondays. She deep cleans the entire restaurant. She needs a rest day and deserves it. I hope she gets one.

This place pulled through for us for our New Year's Eve dinner. We never heard of them till we did…read morea search here on yelp for some Asian fusion type/style food. The usual places that we'd get our new year Chinese dinners from all had shut down their businesses. We called this business and the guy graciously took our to-go order. But first we had to keep calling like their voicemail said to do. We got two soups the wonton and the egg/flour one. One thing we noticed on their menu is they lack the description of what meat they use in the wonton soup. Assuming it was pork we ordered it anyway. I'd personally prefer it to be veggies or chicken inside. Or to have an option. Though I absolutely love the broth it comes with! The egg drop was great for me too as it had just the right amount of flavoring. I really do enjoy a good orange chicken (rice is at an additional cost when ordering it) so we put in an order for their orange peel chicken. The pieces came small and a little bit too done. I attribute this to it being a busier night than perhaps their usual and maybe because it was only a couple to a few people working. So I'd be willing to try it again. When ordering we specified please no sesame seeds. He assured us that this dish doesn't have it. You see we're beginning to see and experience sesame seed trending on so many dishes elsewhere else even when it's not advertised. So I'm very happy it's automatically not on theirs. You can see in my picture the size of the chicken I got. I had it in a small Japanese soup/salad bowl for reference. I'd order from them again and perhaps dine in their nice & casual establishment for a different experience. Happy 2026!
