We are new to the area and we wanted to try this place out being that it's the closest Chinese take out near us, staff was really nice and gave us good portion sizes but the flavor was bland, and the food was cold. The server mixed mine and my wife's entrees up and we had to swap it out once we got home. The Orange chicken was pretty bad and a lot of the entree trays were empty so it was hard to see what they had available. I wouldn't say that I won't be back, but it will probably be a while until I will give this place another try or I see another review stating a better experience. read more

Went there last Thursday for take out. Got 2 of the 2 entree meals. Was impressed because the lady serving the food packed the to go tray FULL...top and bottom. I was able to get food for my wife and I for under $15 which was all I had. Loved the food. Ate more than I should have...but was worth it! I got the sesame chicken and the bbq chicken! Wonderful! Wife got 2 servings of beef and broccoli. For us, its close, its GREAT, and it is budget friendly. I'm all about getting the most food for the minimal cost, and it has me wondering why I still pay $5+ for 1 burrito when you get a few pounds of food for about $7. Love the food! Thanks Red Dragon Express! You'll see us soon! read more

Don't waste your time. The Chow mien noodles were stuck together, the chips they give you with your soup tasted like straight oil, the won ton had no flavor, the broth is like water. I went once and will not return. Go to Li's bowl on 35th ave instead. read more

I've been coming here for years great customer service and generous portions for good prices it's tasty but not omg slap your mother tasty. It will get you by all day on a lazy Sunday as one to go plate will last you all day. It's family owned so that's nice. They definitely have me and family as a regular here no complaints here. read more

This place always has fresh food. They give genousous portions. Been coming here for 5 years and never been disappointed. They always have friendly staff as well. This is the go to place for sure, if you want authenticity otherwise, go to panda. read more

Better than expected. Did not feel rushed or that the workers were rude. Only down is there's Spanish on the tv lol but I did enjoy watching it. read more

My mom really likes this place. My friends like to eat there but not take food to go. I have only eaten here once and it was average.

This is a decent place for fast-food Chinese. They have good and cheap hot and sour soup that I always get. Get here when the food is fresh and it's awesome! Inexpensive prices and very friendly staff :) read more

I tried this place yesterday since i was in the area and in the mood for Chinese. The girl behind the counter was very nice.. The Kung Pao chicken looked good but it was just meh when I tasted it, The hot and sour soup was ok but nothing special. This place is not bad but I doubt I will go here again and would not recommend it, Like someone else said i should have checked Yelp first before following impulse to try something new, read more

Probably the worst chinese I've had in years. Sweet and sour had almost no sauce, and the kung pao chicken tasted like beef stew, not spicy at all. Not worth half what I paid. read more

Two words: Not poisonous. Some of the worst Chinese food my wife & I have ever tasted. We had hot & sour soup, won ton soup, and pork chop suey. All of which were bland and tasteless. The young lady and her daughter who served behind the counter were nice people but to their credit, they weren't doing the cooking. If you need Chinese food, find another place. B$ read more

Really, really good hot and sour soup! Friendliest cook and counter lady, like, ever! You can get a feast for three for $20. The vegetables are perfectly cooked. The rice noodles are also well done here. The place is great for take-out but there is an ample seating area and tv. It is modern, light and airy and very clean! read more

Ordered through Eat24 and the food was ready when I got there, no waiting. The fried rice was the best! The sesame chicken was a little dry but still yummy. Very nice employees. Will definitely return :) read more

The food was ok but hubby got Quart of house fried rice I ask for soy & duck sauce & they gave him 2 of each????? He wanted red sauce for his crab ragoons & they gave him about 1/2 a little cup. It was reasonable price but they charge enough to give you some sauce.. chinise take out without sauce is not chinise take out. Won't be going back I can get all the sauce I want at the one by wal mart. read more

After reading reviews we tried this today. Not even close! Food was horrible, not enough soy sauce or sweet& sour sauce to cover up. Noodles must of sat over night, tasteless and mushy, rice dry and crunchy, we we very disappointed-never again. We work to hard for our money to throw it away. read more

It started from a crave for some Chinese food, so I went to "Red Dragon" (because it reminded me of Rush Hour) it was delicious! I think the hot & sour soup could get better, but overall it was yummy! But don't take my word from it, go try it out! read more

I Love this Place! I'm a picky motherfucker! And red dragon is the Shittttttttt.... Keep up the good work.....

Please listen to the reviews. This place is terrible, I ordered the chicken with vegetables w a side of fries rice. The chicken is boiled to the point where it's rubbery and the vegetables definitely came out of a freezer. Not only that the rice was dry too. Smh Laveen, we can do better than this! read more

Its OK, nothing special better than some other mom and pop places to eat. I would like to see more variety of food. I think Panda Express is a better quality, however if you want quick, nearby 51st Ave location, then I would prefer this based soley on location. read more

Great food and friendly service! Better than Panda Express! Loved the teriyaki chicken and the beef soup.Got my food quickly at lunch rush.

This place is barely a step above Panda Express. Actually, it's worse I think. Unless you order something special the food is prepared ahead of time and sitting on a steam table. Will not be going back! read more

Looooove the eggrolls!! Best in the valley!! House fried rice is bomb, noodles are kinda bland. Great prices tho! I rarely eat any of the food under the lamps so i cant comment there. Always friendly, fast and busy! read more

Fast, average, cheap, but somewhat bland food. Portion sizes are generous, but the food has very little taste. This area of town has little in the way of choices for Chinese food, so it is better than nothing. But as other reviewers have mentioned, it is only slightly better than Panda Express. read more

This has been my favorite spot for the last few years. The food has great taste and the portions are big. The price is not bad. There sauce is very good. read more

Staff in this place are very RUDE and make you feel rushed! The food is NOT that great and they give you waay to much food on your plate.

Good Chinese take out is hit or miss in the valley. When my squad hipped me to this place I took my time and casually checked it out. Let me tell you it was love at first bite. I'm here weekly and even got my kids to turn away from their Panda Express loving ways and follow a path to Red Dragon. First of all, it's affordable. A family of five can't eat at McDonald's for $30 these days. For $35 my family is full, satisfied, with left overs... I get the house chow Mein and have dinner and lunch for a few days! The food is fresh, full of flavor, and delicious. Second of all, the food is consistent. Whether it's 20 minutes to close on a Wednesday, Noon Friday, 3:15pm on a Monday the food tastes the same every time. Third, I can order online because I'm about 10 minutes out, pay with Apple Pay, scoop my food and high-tail it back to the crib, quickly. I'm not singing, I'm screaming the praises of THIS place! read more

It was alright. If you need something quick and close it will do in a pinch. Agree with others that the lack of sauce is disappointing. Egg roll was like any other. Nothing too special. The steamed veggies were pretty fresh and crisp so that was a plus. read more

I kept passing this place up, but finally decided to stop by. I'm so glad I did. The food was amazing!!! I ordered it here on Yelp, and within 15 mins the food was ready. The service is great, the proportions were huge, and the price can't be beat. I would have taken a pic of all the food we bought, but couldn't wait to dig in. I'll definitely be stopping by again. read more

If McDonald's made Chinese food it would taste like this. The price is higher than average, which just adds to the disappointment.

I think this is one of the best Chinese astablishment in Arizona. I will be eating there until I find something better.

I have eaten here several times in the past few months. The food has been consistently good and the service excellent. Perhaps they have made some changes due to some bad reviews. I recommend that you try it for yourself. I believe you will like it. We are having an office party tomorrow and we are ordering from Red Dragon. I've had orange, sesame, and sweet and sour chicken, wonton soup, and the bbq chicken. All have been very good. You can go to similar places and pay more but why? Good Food, Good Price! read more

I'm a huge fan of the special food that is prepared to order. I do agree that the other food probably sits under the heat lamps for a while but even so it's much better than Panda Express. My kids love the thin noodles and egg rolls. I have tried several dishes and have not been disappointed. read more

Not sure if I've ever experienced ruder "service". No food is worth eating with rude, incompetent service. read more

And the one star is only because there is no option for a half star. Our food was gross. It all had such an oily flavor to it. As of they just let it all sit in the oil and soak it all up. Our egg rolls were so greasy and way too crunchy from being over cooked and there was very little vegetables and chicken in them. Crab puffs were exactly the same and so was the shrimp tempura. My husband's beef and broccoli was drenched in too much sauce, sweet and sour sauce on his sweet and sour pork tasted like straight vinegar with sugar. We couldn't even finish our food it was so bad. Makes me angry as we spent over $30 for our food. What a waste of money and time. I called the restaurant to let them know and some young girl answered the phone. She had an attitude and told me "well we haven't had any other complaints, maybe you are just too picky". Are you serious little girl, what kind of customer service is that and why is she answering the phone if she had that attitude. I asked to leave a message for the Manager and for her name.? She then proceeded to tell me "it is really busy right now, I can't stop to take a message you will have to just come in Monday when we open" then she hung up on me. So not only was the food greasy, over fried/cooked but the customer service was even worse. read more

We read all the reviews before going to this place and we were leery of trying it. Being a native New Yorker I'm VERY picky about my Chinese food. I've lived in Arizona for almost 22 years and haven't found any really good Chinese yet. That said, we tried Red Dragon Express tonight and were pleasantly surprised. I think the key here is to NOT order off the buffet but to order items that are cooked fresh. The restaurant is a little "hole in the wall take out joint" similar to Panda Express at first glance. There are items on a buffet line that you can order, but honestly, most of them looked like they'd been sitting there for ages and it was a turn off. I stuck with a few items that I read were good in the reviews...terriyaki chicken wings, won ton soup, hot & sour soup, house chow mein and a one item combo of orange chicken. The one item combo had a LOT of food in it. They heap on the rice and noodles and it had a lot of orange chicken, so much so that my fiancee couldn't finish it and he'll be having it for dinner tomorrow night. He enjoyed both items. The orange chicken had just come out hot and fresh. The hot and sour soup was very spicy but good and tasty. The won ton soup was actually some of the best I've ever had in Arizona. They actually made it fresh and it had very large won tons and fresh carrots and broccoli in it. It was a little on the salty side, so if you're on a low sodium diet like I am, this might not be the best choice for you, but it really is delicious. The house special "chow mein" is really "lo mein" by New York standards....the soft noodles with onions in them, plus added shrimp, beef and chicken. They give you a LOT and it's freshly made and very tasty. I have enough left over for another three meals. The terriyaki chicken wings were good, but a little rubbery and overcooked. Better over cooked then under cooked though. The terriyaki sauce is very sweet and sticky and it's a very thin sauce, not thick and goopy, but I enjoyed it, although it was a little sweet for my tastes. So over all we really did like the food and will go back, but definitely order the food fresh and cooked to order. It's definitely worth a visit! read more

overall, pretty darn good. i was weary of going down the street to try this for the first time, given the hot & cold reviews on here, but i'm glad i went. food was not too greasy (as panda express tends to be). i had the sesame chicken and black pepper chicken which both were awsome! noodles were a bit heavy so get the cabbage if you're trying to eat healthier. i will definitely return. read more

First time ordering online with yelp/ Red Dragon had the order correct and on time. The food was great!!

A family favorite! Panda Express is not even close. Huge portion sizes. Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Beef Broccoli all are amazing!

This place used to be really good now it's overpriced and tastes very mediocre there's nothing that you can't get for cheaper that is a whole lot better right up the street I would suggest not going here unless you have a fat wallet and like a lot of breaded things I will never go here again. $30 for a lot of breaded chicken and porkin 2 egg rolls not cool good luck read more

I love their rice, it's one of the best one I have tried. There prices are good too you get a lot of food for it.
