We went here with a good friend who said she had been dining here for years. She warned us it was a hole in the wall. But that made us even more excited to try it. Walking in you feel like you are transported back in time. All the old school decor you saw in a Chinese restaurant growing up! Even the music they were playing made it truly authentic. Our tables ordered a few lunch specials. Instantly they brought us egg drop soup. It was probably the best tasting egg drop soup I've ever had. Rich in flavor. Super hot. I would enjoy a large bowl of it, it was that good. Our entrees literally came out in less than 10 minutes. Everything was fresh and hot! Portions large. We were very impressed. Can't wait to go back. I'm still thinking of that egg drop soup. Haha read more

This restaurant might be put back in the corner, but it's one you shouldn't miss! They have great, affordable lunch specials. All lunch specials come with egg drop soup, egg roll, wonton, and a huge portion of whatever you order! The egg rolls here are the best I've had here in AZ, hands down! They don't use the thick wrapper and they're stuffed with meat! So good. The prices are extremely reasonable....i had chicken with snow peas $10.95! The server was on point with refills, never had to ask once! Absolutely give them a try! read more

Old school style restaurant: If you're old enough to recall the old real Chinese restaurant, the decor is elaborate, very cultural, lots of red, very ornate, just like "A Christmas Story" , for the younger audience. The owner (assuming) lady that greets you & seats you, is.... um very no nonsense & limited customer service skills, kinda like the 'soup nazi'.‍ The food is good, portions & flavor. Lots of parking & seating. read more

This is my favorite Chinese food restaurant in America. Dragon Palace has been delicious since before I can remember. This place is the best in Phoenix and it's not even close. Their sweet & sour pork, house chicken, egg drop soup, pu pu platter and honey dipped chicken appetizer are dishes I've ordered hundreds of times from here and have literally never had a bad meal. I love this restaurant more than any other restaurant in Phoenix and would recommend it to anyone. read more

I am a client of this restaurant for around 9 yrs. Food and service is always great! Will definitely recommend it. The place is very peaceful and clean. read more

First off this is a review that's long overdue. I'm from California and come to the area 3-4 times a year. Always my go to Chinese place. Great service, price and food. I wasn't the best at taking pictures because I was so hungry and excited. I got the Mongolian beef, sizzling rice soup and shrimp fried rice. Amazing and plenty of portions. Recommend and I'll be looking forward to coming back soon! read more

KC Dragon Palace - 5. Assorted Vegetables Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I came based on the previous review, and I agree. I ordered sweet and sour Chicken. Lazy cooks offer a thin sauce with one or two chunks. Here the sauce was packed with pineapple peppers carrots. On one visit, my impression is that this is a great 1970's-style restaurant. Look closely for the sign it's small and the red is fading. I'll be back soon to try some of the more modern offerings. read more

This is a very old-school Americanized Chinese restaurant, and that is reflected in the decor as well as the offerings in the menu. I ordered tofu with vegetables, and sweet and sour chicken. Both were good, and - as expected in an Americanized Chinese dining establishment - tailored to the American palate; that means,, don't expect flavors from authentic Chinese seasonings such as Sichuan peppercorns or black vinegar to stand out. read more

We have been coming here as a family for almost 30 years at this point. My cousins wedding reception was in their back dining room. Genuinely still the best Chinese food I have had and I have tried sooo many places around the world. In particular their egg roll, egg drop soup, and Mongolian beef are world class. The service is to the point, but fast and they are really kind people once you get to know them. Head of house is always really sweet to my elderly grandfather and gives him free stuff haha. Must try if you are in the area! read more

After years of ordering take out as well as dining in person with great food, yesterdays take out was disappointing. Eggrolls kind of blah and not crispy, general Tso's chicken was not sauced appropriately and dry. Hot and sour soup was excellent as ever. I will try again but it seems like someone else was cooking. Not up to usual standards for excellence. read more

Me and my friend Conor spent about two hours here on a business meeting and the food was great. Had egg drop soup, mongolian beef, pupu platter, house special beef, and they even gave us free fried banana for dessert. The portions had a very generous amount of protein which is great for two guys that hut the gym regularly. Also the hot tea was fantastic and they kept refilling the pot and keeping it nice and fresh. Loved the decor also and the music they played. Excellent experience, 5 stars, and will be back. read more

I live nearby and have been to Dragon Palace a few times now and I feel I owe them a good review! The service is always great. The food is just terrific. Not overly sweet or salty like the chain Chinese places. Just great natural flavors with the right amount of seasonings. The Peking dinner for 2 is my favorite so far and is a great way to sample a variety of their items. Pricing is very reasonable and you'll always have some take home left for lunch the next day! I'm definitely becoming a regular there. read more

Has really gone downhill. Used to be my favorite ho to spot. Egg-rolls were greasy, crab puffs were burnt and the fried rice had no veggies. Food quality overall was subpar. Very sad. No good Chinese nearby anymore. read more

Shout out for this great place , always great food always friendly and grateful for their customers . We need more places like this

I ordered takeout from here and I was very pleased with the food. We had vegetable egg, foo, young, sweet-and-sour chicken, and Mongolian beef. We also had an order of eggrolls. Everything was ready for me to pick up when I arrived, and the food was pretty good! I have eaten there since I was a kid. read more

Great spot! Highly recommend if you don't mind a hole in the wall. Food is very good!

It's been years since we ate take out here,but now wondering why! The food is grown-up and abundant! We will be back, and recommend it to all :) read more

When I am in Arizona, I must go to Dragon Palace weekly. Love their Mongolian beef, best I have found anywhere.

In an old strip mall but solid Chinese food. Is my default spot now. Food is not overly greasy like many and online ordering is easy service is good and have always gotten my order exactly as requested. read more

The chicken was inedible and fell apart. The breading was soggy. The flavor of the beef was not good. The rice was dry... I would rather have spent my $55 for 3 dishes at Taco Bell. read more

This place is a hidden gem. It's tucked away in the corner of a small shopping center. This place is sooo good! We ordered the orange chicken and sesame chicken lunch special (which includes fried rice, an egg roll, fried wontons and an egg drop soup) which were amazing! We also ordered the house special chicken and it was good just a little on the salty side, but otherwise good. The eggrolls were nostalgic of a place I loved growing up that burned down, named Fortune Cookie. If you know, you know. Those egg rolls took me back 25+ years. The service was great and the speed of the food coming out was super fast. I asked for an order of the chicken and vegetables to go before we left and they had it out in no time. They are closed between lunch and dinner so make sure you get there when it opens. Definitely coming back to try more! read more

KC Dragon Palace - 25. Sesame Chicken Lunch Special 26. Orange Chicken Lunch Special 11. House Special Chicken Lunch Special - Chinese Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Ordered the egg fu young togo yesterday . Everything was great except the peas were hard.

Third try over the last 7 years and we will not forget the experience this time! This time we ordered - orange chicken, orange flavored beef, sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice, walnut honey shrimp The walnut shrimp and fried rice were passable, the rest went straight in the trash. Would have rather bought $88 worth of fast food! read more

Found a literal contact lense in the food after ordering over $120 worth of food and they refused to give any type of refund

I like this place more and more. everything is great about it. great food-- check. good portions--check. Good prices--check. attentive staff--check. The place looks like an old school cantonese restaurant, colors, dragons and all. Recently I had amazing an WALNUT SHRIMP, MONGOLIAN BEEF, BEEF AND BROCCOLI AND PORK EGG FOO YOUNG. Check out the video showing the deliciousness of the food. read more

This place is so good! I grew up going to Little Peking down the road and loved their house special chicken. I never thought I would find it again after they closed but Dragon Palace has it! read more

Love the food, so good and the best lunch price's!!!! Easy to find, plenty of parking. Service is great and friendly read more

No complaints. We ordered the Mandarin hot beef, vegetable egg rolls, pork fried rice, hot tofu and orange chicken. All were better than expected compared to similar restaurants in the area. We will definitely order from them again. read more

I remember when they built this place. I always wanted to go but never made the time. I went with a friend who was kind enough to bring me out there and it was a real treat. Is it authentic Chinese? No! Is it old-school Chinese American cuisine? Heck yeah!!! It's really tasty and the flavors were nostalgic and delicious. Are they rude? Maybe, but I'm not there to make friends with the employees. Unlike many of the Chinese restaurants I've visited in the last few years, it really seems pretty clean as well... not hating, just an observation. The place is a gem, and I cannot wait to go back! read more

The food is amazing here! We normally order it to go, but when I go in to pick it up the staff is always nice and helpful. I recommend the garlic shrimp! It is so delicious. read more

The food is always delicious and consistent. The service is extremely fast. Fast seating. We will return.

Terrible service, very rude. I ordered the Mongolian beef and I wanted it spicy and when it came out, it wasn't spicy at all, and it looked like it wasn't even cooked all the way through so I simply asked if they can cook it a little bit longer and add more spice and they must've just put it in the back and added more sauce on it but didn't cook it longer. When they brought it back out to me, it was warm as if it was just sitting back there to make it appear like they were cooking it. I mentioned to the waitress that it wasn't even hot or spicy, and she was so rude and started yelling at me. Never going back again. read more

The service was horrible!!!! The orange chicken is drenched in orange sauce. The wonton chips were stale. And they charge $3 for soda water. If you want great Chinese food, go to George Yangs read more

Placed an order for our office staff(12 lunch specials). Food was plentiful! Would have been extremely helpful if labeled..had to investigate each container to determine what it was) also the packing was not good...everything was leaking and seeping out of the sides. Folks enjoyed their food for the most part. Egg rolls tasted odd....like they were fried in old oil. read more

Dragon Palace has been our "go to" Chinese takeout since 2010!! The food is always delicious and arrives home incredibly hot even though we live 10 minutes from the restaurant. The 3 entrees we ordered this past weekend (garlic shrimp, moo shu chicken and black mushroom beef) were the best we've ever had!! The 16 -17 extra large shrimp were perfectly tender and cooked in a delicious garlic sauce. The moo shu chicken was exceptional. The black mushroom beef was a dish we had not tried before, but is now on the top of our list. It is a perfect umami experience!! Kudos to the chef/staff for always delivering a high quality menu!! read more

What a treat to find this place based on comments from Nextdoor. It was well worth driving past several other closer restaurants for great egg drop soup, chicken & mushrooms, and beef fried rice. Fast service, and it was great that they took the time to bag the chicken & mushrooms container, which overflowed, but did not make a mess! It's a hole-in-the wall location, with an old-school red door and all the trappings of a classic Chinese restaurant. And, I have found my new go-to spot! read more
