Great Dragon Chinese Restaurant

Dragon Wok is about a 20-minute drive out of my way, and I'd make that drive again without thinking…read moretwice. When the food is this consistently good, the extra time in the car is absolutely worth it. My go-to order is the General Tso's chicken with fried rice and an extra order of crab rangoon. The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and coated in just the right amount of sauce. Nothing tastes like it sat under a heat lamp. Every meal has tasted like it was made to order. The staff is another reason I keep coming back. They're always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of your business, which makes every visit a great experience. I've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants around Omaha, and Dragon Wok has easily earned a spot in my top three. If you're looking for fresh food, generous portions, and consistently great service, this place is well worth going out of your way for.

This place is special. Not just because it has consistently delicious food, but because the staff…read morereally care that you have a wonderful experience. We came here to celebrate my daughter's birthday lunch and were treated like royalty. The food was promptly served even with a pretty full dining room. At the end, they presented my daughter with a dragon egg and baby dragon in her favorite color. She absolutely loved it. Our food favs are the peanut butter chicken (just trust), any fried rice, wonton soup, and pork egg rolls. But you will be happy with whatever you pick. Definitely try the lemonade with popping boba. Amazing! The place has plenty of room and is pretty much seat yourself. Love the tvs playing game shows while we waiting. Definitely give this place a try!

I loved the peppers, onions, and water chestnuts it came with too. It also came with choice of rice and choice of soup. I got the fried rice and hot and sour soup. Although it indicates spicy on the menu, I found it to be not spicy at all. (And I really like spice) In the future I will ask them to amp it up a few notches. My husband got the General Tsos pork with streamed rice and egg drop soup. He really enjoyed it. I love that they gave an American and Chinese menu. I will definitely be coming back to try a few things from the Chinese menu. Service from Abbey and Molly was fabulous. They were quick on the refills and picking up dishes. The menu shows they have some excellent lunch specials too! Highly recommend.

What can I say, transparency is an attractive trait on a restaurant…read more Started off with their Crab Rangoons, neatly plated with some great drizzle. Very little crab flavor, and its texture was damn near close to ricotta cheese but they were DELISH! Anyone else save the corners for a little texture in their next dish? No? Just me? Yall, I am telling you... their Peanut Butter Chicken was PHENOMENAL, and definitely have some real peanut on board. MUCH appreciated that. Their breading to chicken was by far, near perfection. More protein than breading is always a win-win in my book... it was like little puffs of breading, versus cakey/battery. Comes with your choice of steamed or fried rice, egg drop soup or hot and sour soup. Their Hot and Sour was SO good, with just the right amount of tofu. Highly recommended either honestly. Now the Sesame Chicken? Dare say I should've gotten that dish? It too, was AMAZING. Especially with those warm green peppers, onion, rich brown sauce that has just the right amount of garlic that made me ask kindly, with doey eyes, for a second piece off my husbands plate. SO good! We brought home a good amount for left overs tomorrow; assuming they last till midnight... We must've gotten in at the right time, because she was BUSYYYY with maybe 3 of the 15 (I could be completely off!) tables. Staff didn't just stick to one table, they were definitely tag teaming and that was neat to watch them work so well. We got checked on a few times and they're attentive as heck! We will DEFINITELY be back to try some of that Garlic Chicken and Cashew Chicken, extra cashews.

I ordered the honey walnut shrimp and my wife tried their sesame chicken. Sadly, both dishes were dry and a little bland. The broccoli side with my meal was still very tough and needed to be cooked longer. Lastly, the fried rice also lacked flavor and seemed undercooked (like still firm). Since this was our first time, I'd be willing to give them another chance. But as for most of our future dinner needs, we will likely look elsewhere.

And I have to give a special mention to something unexpected: their rice.

I had no idea what it was and thought I'd give it a whirl. It's exactly what it says -- but better than a slice of bread or a roll. The interior has a hint of sweet and I'm not sure if youre supposed to combine it with something; I just chowed down in the car on my way home. I also got a vegetable egg roll. Pass on that next time. The interior was indistinguishable mush. I'm not sure what was in there, but it wasn't pleasant. Next up -- Walnut Chicken. I think the walnuts are toasted? They were very brown (still tasted good), but I was taken aback when I first saw them. I feared they were (to me) dreaded raisins (albeit tremendously oversized). Fear not, they were walnuts, and lots of chicken at a great price! The sauce was sweet, but not cloyingly so. I had enough food for lunch the next day. The dish came with two scoops of rice (a little on the sticky side), and two crab rangoon. If there was any crab associated with the latter, it might have been a quick wave over or something. I tasted no crab, but otherwise, for what it was it was tasty. Finally, almond cookies. I loved getting these at King Fong, so Bo Bo had a lot to live up to and didn't quite hit the mark, but they were good. Overall, a good experience, and, as my kids have always known, great prices.

My family has been coming here for over 30 years and it still has the same owners, ambiance, and chairs. The menu has a wide variety of options from fried rice and lo mein to chicken, beef, pork, and shrimp entrees. Not to mention tofu. They are also very easy to work with if you want to customize your meal. For example, you can get any meal with any amount of spice, you can add any vegetable or meat to your meal, you can choose different sauces or extra sauce, you can even do a half and half meal (although sometimes when it's very busy, they ask that you not). The owners are Mr. and Mrs. Lee and they are very friendly. Mrs. Lee gets to know her customers and is always asking about children, spouses, etc. Mr. Lee is often in the kitchen but is also friendly if you get a chance to talk to him. If you come to this restaurant, you won't regret it. Or maybe you will because any other Asian restaurant will never be the same again. Either way, I highly recommend it! You will not be disappointed.
