    I searched for "Best Cantonese food in Rome" and Grand Dragon topped the list. I agree with all of…read morethe 5 star reviews so far. Coming from the San Francisco Bay Area in California, I'd have to give this restaurant relatively high marks on a number of fronts. First off, they speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Italian from the best that I could hear." The fact that they spoke Cantonese put me more at ease since I knew they would understand some of the dishes that I was trying to order. I do not speak Chinese but someone in our party did. Secondly, the Beef Chow Fun was pretty good and had "Ho Wok Hay" (which translates to "good taste of the wok"). Wok Hay is a slightly burnt flavor from the wok that gives a dish a high degree of flavor. Not too many restaurants have this and this is a mark of a legit Chinese restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this in Rome. We also ordered the Chicken in Picante sauce which was very tasty, and roast duck and spareribs in black bean sauce both of which were ok. We also had the house soup at the waitress' suggestion (probably because she knew we appreciated authentic Cantonese cuisine) and Chinese greens. The portions were fair and the prices not too cheap or expensive. I was just glad to get good quality Chinese (Cantonese food in Rome). The restaurant is simple and looked reasonably clean, the staff was friendly but a little hurried as they had a fair amount of takeaway orders. We will be here for a couple more days and will likely be returning.

    Food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. When needing a break from Italian, we decided to…read moregive Grand Dragon a try and we were very pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was. Dumplings were great and the crispy duck was fantastic!

    OK... Let me start by saying that the thought of eating Chinese food on my trip to Italy was…read moreliterally the last thing on my mind! But my husband is a creature of habit! So we picked this place. And I kid you not... It is literally the BEST Chinese food I think we've ever eaten. I lived in Spain. And Chinese food outside of America is very different. AND my husband is "Mr. Picky McPick!" I did not take BEFORE pictures UGH! because we just whomped it down! So my pictures are if half eaten food ! Sorry! The hot and sour soup was top-notch. It was a different heat. Not white pepper like I'm used to. It was definitely chili peppers. But it was still absolutely fantastic. We got the hot and spicy fried rice, which was beyond delicious. We got their Kung pow chicken... Which was different than American Kung pao chicken... But still fantastic! And we got the sweet-and-sour chicken... Which was also different than American sweet-and-sour chicken. But I'm telling you, we ate every last drop of everything. I should've taken pictures of the empty plate. Ify thought it was within etiquette rules. I would've literally licked the plates. We've been in Europe for two weeks and this was definitely one of the top five meals we've had! If you are hankering for Chinese food and you are an American, I cannot recommend this place enough!

    We stumbled on this place after deciding we weren't in the mood for pasta, and since Bao only had…read morebar seating or takeout, we figured we'd give it a try. So glad we did! We ordered the duck with orange sauce, shrimp fried rice, lightly fried dumplings, fried pork ribs, and the steamed fish, basically a whole feast. Everything was amazing! The food came out fast, except for the fish, which takes about 30-40 minutes to cook, so definitely order that early. Prices were super reasonable, portions were generous, and the service was really friendly. It was a beautiful night, so we sat outside and just enjoyed it all. Overall, this spot was such a nice break from all the (delicious) pasta around the city. We spent about what we would on a typical Roman meal but got way more food. Highly recommend if you're craving something different while in Rome!
