New Dragon has been a reliable favorite for years. Every visit has been a good meal with plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. On this trip, I explored some of their gluten-free menu options and was happy to find a few great choices. The staff was friendly, the bar was busy, and the drinks were good. Looking forward to coming back soon to try more from the gluten-free menu! read more

Hey all! I'm here to update my review of new dragon. So my family and I continue to order from this spot as it is local and delicious. But as of recently I found a worm in my wonton soup! And can you believe the manager had the nerve to complain about giving me a discount! read more

This was a to go pickup. My wife ordered vegetable lo mein. There were little to no vegetables and all noodles. The only vegetables we were able to see were some shaved carrots and a few onions, but there were no greens. Service was fine and we were not in the restaurant so we can't tell you about the ambience. read more

Best casual chinese restaurant in Rhode Island. The food is always excellent. Very friendly and fast service.

Best Chinese food in South County. If you're a fan you'll think the food is great only thing better is the staff. The restaurant itself is nice and has a bar that the window opens to feel like you're outside and an actual patio in the back. Very nice and very reasonable prices. read more

Seriously good, every time I go the food is hot, fresh and delicious. The service is always great and friendly. Overall a great spot, they have an outdoor patio in the back and a nice bar to sit out inside very private and quiet. This place is a hidden gem. read more

Decent food, Average service. Not sparkling clean, but not dirty. Reasonable prices. Plenty of parking. Average all around. read more

I woke up with a craving for wonton soup and, a few hours later, found myself driving by New Dragon. It had been about four years since my last visit, and WOW--what a fantastic remodel and the food was even more delicious than I remembered. The hostess gave us the option to sit upstairs, on the main floor, or outside. Each area had its own stylish vibe and comfort, a big change from the plain booths I remembered. The upstairs had a whimsical, stylish dim bar and lounge area. Since we had the kids with us, we chose a comfortable booth on the main floor. Service was great and attentive, with our drinks and food arriving quickly. Since we had already eaten lunch, we only ordered wonton soup and an appetizer of beef teriyaki sticks. Seriously, YUM! The wonton soup was delicious, featuring perfectly tight wonton dumplings, bok choy, and tender pork slices (not fatty at all!). The beef teriyaki sticks were the highlight--perfectly cooked and tender with a nice crispy edge and sweet flavor. Although this was a quick snack stop for us, we left feeling stuffed and satisfied. Next time we're in the area, we'll definitely come in for dinner and report back! read more

The food partitions are huge! Service was good, and the place is clean and nicely decorated. The only con was the strong smell of burnt food, and my burnt fried rice. It was inedible. All other food was good, and there was a steady flow of people coming and going on their lunch break. A popular place. read more

Overall the place it overly hated on. Got the wonton soup which was simple but gas, chicken and broccoli was also more simple than some places but is very tasty and cooked well keeping the broccoli crunchy, and the spring roll was a 10/10. I got takeout and it was still nice and crispy and their duck sauce is a perfect dip. My only complaint would be their crab rangoon. They were soft and weird shapes and were only saved by their duck sauce. Overall, would go back. read more

We loved it. The spring rolls were larger than other local Chinese food restaurants in the area but the dough is thicker than we prefer for fried dumplings. The shrimp egg foo young and scallops with mixed Chinese vegetables was delicious. We ordered takeout and service was excellent. We'll definitely return soon. read more

Ok so I ordered again! Boneless spare ribs, Singapore mei fun and fried dumplings. Last time I wasn't so impressed with the fried rice. This time, the fried rice was the best part of what I ordered. The egg roll tasted much better this time but it was barely even warm. The boneless spare ribs were thin and overcooked and dry. I will never order that again from here and that's if I even order again. The Singapore mei fun is lacking in flavor. It may need to be stirred more when cooking to mix the spices better, I'm not sure. I am sure that's not an order again item either. The dumplings were made well, good flavor, not extremely greasy. Those and the rice were the win for me today. I'm disappointed with the lack of consistency here. The difference in the rice and egg roll today is way off from last time. I'm not sure I'm willing to waste money trying to find what they can actually make vs what they're not so good at. Especially with the lack of consistency. I mean it's fried rice.... That should be a staple for any Chinese restaurant. Here's some pics of what I got. Tread carefully here. You never know what you're going to get. read more

Editing my review for a 2nd time in 5 years. Oh how the mighty have fallen. This used to be the best spot in town by far to get chinese food, now the food is borderline inedible. Drinks are horrible (and we will drink just about anything). We've had a God awful experience the last several times we've been here. We won't be back for a while. read more

Weirdest miso soup I have ever eaten. Way too much tofu and the tofu is weird it's not soft and silky, and food in general isn't great.

kung pow shrimp was just gross. shrimp were so tiny they reminded me of sea monkeys, the creepy mail order creatures advertised on the back cover of comic books when l was a kid. literally smaller than an inch. in fact they looked like inch worms. totally flavorless, like the dish itself, even though it was ordered extra spicy. if you can destroy such a staple of chinese food just to cut costs you can't be trusted with an eggroll. read more

The food is amazing no matter what you get. Service is good always friendly and on point! Can't go wrong with New dragon!

Got the lunch special with chow mein. I was really surprised to see celery in a thick sauce beside crunch noodles. I tried to mix the two and it wasn't very odd. Not chow mein with normal noodles. The chicken and green beans was very very good as well as the egg rolls. The spicy mustard also packs a hard punch which I loved! Just be aware of the chow mein situation read more

New Dragon - L9. Chow Mein chicken and green beans - Chinese Near Me - Narragansett, Rhode Island

Delicious food. Amazing service! Incredible music!! Our group of six had a blast! It's the best place to come on a Saturday night!

I don't know what has happened to my favorite Chinese place but I'm on the hunt for a new one. Last few visits have been very disappointing. Bartender had NO IDEA what they're doing. Ordered a combo plate that had boneless spareribs and they were burnt!! Waitress said sorry and walked away. Full price when we got the check. When you've worked in the restaurant business over half your life it's very hard to let some things slide. Won't be going back! read more

This place is incredible. Great service, good vibes, friendly, and most importantly, AMAZING FOOD! The ramen is incredible. The chicken and broccoli is world class. We have gone so many times but cannot bring ourselves to get anything new cause we are so obsessed with the chicken broccoli and ramen haha. Very generous portions. You'll definitely leave full and happy. read more

The food was terrible! We ordered general tsao's chicken & vegetable chow mein The chicken was edible, but at most a 2-star. It was hard & chewy. Ate it only because we were so hungry. Chow mein was awful. I don't think I've tasted a dish like this before. No flavor whatsoever. And no noodles! Maybe I had wrong expectations, but I was looking forward to noodles with veggies. Instead I got pan fried veggies in a gelatinous sludge. I couldn't get past the 2nd bite and had to throw it away. Even hunger couldn't make up for it ‍ read more

Food is good, the service is good too. They do great take out for trades people always on the go

Good food. Just don't believe the estimate for delivery. Delivery is not 30 minutes. Figure 45 minutes to an hour or more. read more

I really want to give New Dragon 5-stars. Overall, I still consider this the best Chinese-American cuisine in town. New dragon offers exceptional quality of typical Chinese-American dishes. Many of Visitors and Student of nearby University of Rhode Island frequent New Dragon. Some notable items include the quality of their fried rice, which is cooked in the regional "New England" dark soy method; as opposed to the typical yellow rice with mixed peas and carrots varieties that is ubiquitous throughout the US. The "duck sauce" is not a typical orangey sweet and sour slurry, but is delightfully dark and imparts a nice caramelized flavor; excellent to pair with the classic battered Chicken Fingers. Through the many years I have been a patron of New Dragon, and I have seen the restaurant update/expand their menu to satisfy the ever-changing American palates. For example, the addition of Japanese cuisine, like sushi to their menu. What is keeping me from giving New Dragon five stars, is the low quality Szechuan dishes listed on the menu. For the past three years Sichuan/Chundu flavors have been all the rage in the culinary and Foodie scene. As evident in the rise of "Hot Pot" restaurants and an increase in all things "Mala" (spicy and numbing flavor). These dishes have heavily featured by food bloggers such Mike Chen's Simply Dumpling series, Food Ranger, and the Best Ever Food review show. Since I held New Dragon in high regard, I was expecting that the Szechuan dishes that are featured on the menu would have flavors of housemade chili sauce/oil, Szechuan peppercorns, and fermented bean paste. Ingredients that are widely available in Rhode Island market today. With that expectation in mind, I ordered was the Szechuan Tofu; which incorrectly assumed to be the ever-so popular Mapo Tofu dish. A dish that typically is wok-fried tofu suspended in a spicy/"Mala"oily sauce with ferment broad bean chili paste. What I got instead was cubed tofu with vegetables in a starch-slurried, almost flavorless, chicken broth. I was very disappointed to say the least. I am a big fan of New Dragon and I hope they see my review and consider improving the Szechuan dishes on the menu. Like I stated before these Ingredients are widely available now in the US; and many Americans are embracing these "new to them" flavors of the Szechuan region. I already know of another restaurant in the area that features updated Chinese dishes, to include spicy Yo Po mian (mein), street-food style savory chinese pancakes, hand cut/pulled noodles, and homemade dumplings & chili oil. New Dragon has an opportunity to continue their High quality Chinese-American fare while at the same time elevating their regional/authentic Chinese Cuisine. The advantage here, is they have the equipment and sourcing to bring in quality Chinese food; that no home cook can replicate (e.g. wok kei "Breath of the Dragon" flavors). I promise to change my rating if changes to the menu occur. read more

New Dragon - Underwhelming "Szechuan Tofu" dish, that I would love to see New Dragon replace with Mapo Tofu. Please make that happen. - Chinese Near Me - Narragansett, Rhode Island

My friend and I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago. The first floor restaurant area was being renovated so we were seated upstairs . (Area could use a good cleanjng.) I ordered vegetable chow main and vegetable fried rice and my friend ordered a chicken dish and pork fried rice. For the next 2 days I was deathly ill. I am giving this restaurant 3 stars because the service was great and my friend did not become ill but I won't back again. read more

Very disappointing. Beef Teriyaki was dry and chewy like shoe leather. Egg roll over cooked

It's been years since I've had new dragon Chinese food. Thought we'd give it a try again since my son heard good things about it. Honestly it was the worst food I've had for take out . Tasteless and so unhealthy. I'll never be back. read more

Cool place. By far the cleanest and coolest bar and night time jamming place I've seen in a long time locally. Music was blastin. My walk in late night tofu to go order was kindly made and filled. Was supposed to. Be crunchy and super spicy, but pricing was good and they hooked me up 10 mins before kitchen closing so we'll give it 4 stars. Have to try during the daylight perhaps. read more

The food was good, the drinks were good, the service was good. There was only one interaction that made me and my party uncomfortable. The details are not important, only that there was a miscommunication between us and a single member of staff. I left a review on the restaurants website explaining what happened that night and the owner left a response accusing me of spreading misinformation and straight up lying. I would like to iterate that nothing in my original review was untrue. Could it have been phrased better? I'm certain it could have, I wrote the review before I took the time to organize my thoughts and feelings on the matter. There was a miscommunication, on whose end I can't be sure. But the response I received bordered on inappropriate. The incident left a pit in my stomach, and I have since removed the review from their website. Not that my business (or lack there of) makes any difference, but I won't be going back. I will also reiterate that the actions of one person should not in any way negatively impact the rest of our experience, which was well done. read more

Ordered take out Walked in with a teenager sitting down at the counter... Food sucked... china garden 5 min away blows this garbage away and is a lot cheaper... SKIP THIS PLACE!!! Oh. Btw. Worst fried rice on earth.... read more

Found this place to be unfriendly and unaccommodating, never want to give you what you want without charging you extra. The good news is there are better places to dine & that will treat you nicer. read more

Gave me the wrong order. Got the right one. Simple fried rice dish, old, crusty, flavorless. You people should be ashamed. Never again.

This used to be our go-to Chinese place. I have no idea what happened to this place in the last year or so, but it has seriously gone downhill. New owner or management maybe? The food was horrible, and the scorpion bowl was hands down the worst drink I've ever had. It was so bad we couldn't even drink it. I didn't realize you could mess up Chinese food until our last trip here. Whatever changes were made should be reversed if there's any hope in saving this place. read more

I got the sesame chicken lunch special. it was the best I've had in a long time and was reasonably priced too!
