    Kung pow Chicken - A meal featuring rice, stir-fried vegetables and chicken, and a side of fried egg roll, served on a dark restaurant table.

    Food is GOOD! Sevice is stellar. Price is ok. Ambiance is top notch. ----------------------//-//-----------------------------

    House beef
    Michelle B.

    Love this restaurant. Everything is always served hot and fresh made. Their crab rangoons are savory and soooo good!! I almost always order their chicken with garlic sauce but branched out and got their house beef today. Both are delicious! Our waitress was very attentive and all of our orders came out perfect and timely. They have the restaurant decorated really nice and it gives each table a quiet private feel. Also - not to be missed by my kids - there is a mini store at the front where they always manage to find something.

    Kung Pao Chicken. I added peanuts.

    Amazing food and service. Calm atmosphere and fresh food. I had amazing large crab Rangoon for an appetizer and hot Fresh edamame too; and kung pao chicken for my entree. They were super friendly and accommodating when I asked for peanuts in my kung pao chicken which was also amazing. Only regret is that I didn't have the time to try more dishes. Will be back soon!

    Honey chicken, soup - A bowl of rice soup with vegetables is in the foreground, with fried chicken and rice on a plate behind it, on a restaurant table.

    The service was good. Our server was very sweet. The food was horrible . We went to lunch and it was like we got old chicken nuggets with sauce over it. The cashew chicken sauce tasted like KFC gravy. The honey chicken sauce was good. The lo main tasted as if it was fried in old oil. Had a greasy and old oil after taste . The soup was good. The restaurant itself was cute, had a little shop and items for sale, clean ... Very disappointed when we saw 4 starts and craving true Chinese food.

    Nice place. Food is average. I've eaten inside 2 times and takeout once. It's not terrible just not that good. Thus average rating.

    I woke up Wednesday morning with a migraine, so I hadn't eaten ALL day. The one thing that sounded…read moregood was Golden Dragon's egg drop soup. It is the best. Loaded with plenty of egg whites, green onions, a deep brothy flavor, and best of all some extra protein with the chicken they add in theirs. I also really enjoy their fried rice. They put in fresh bean sprouts which adds that freshness and crunch. All we ordered was 1 order of beef fried rice, 1 order of chicken egg drop soup, and 2 sprites. Totaling a little over $20. An affordable meal for two, as we can split those two items and still have food leftover. So good sized portions as well. Golden Dragon has been a staple in the Ozark area ever since I was a kid. I was reminiscing that night sitting in the drive through, talking to my son about a time when I remembered when they were dine in and had a buffet! He had no idea that they were a full blown restaurant once upon a time. I say all of this as a prelude to once we got home and opened our order. We DIDN'T order any vegetable spring rolls, but they had thrown in a little bag of them just for us. This may have been a small gesture on their part, but it really made me smile and feel better from a day that was not so great. So THANK YOU to whomever there that threw in that sweet little surprise. Your food is good, but I think it's the small acts of kindness like this that keep such a loyal following to your establishment.

    For the last year or so they haven't had the dining room open and we typically preferred not to eat…read morein the car or take it home and eat it soggy so we bypassed the place completely. For 15+ years it's kind of been a go to an a staple when we're in Ozark area. I just called tonight and they said that the dining room is open and we're gonna go back in and have a meal. Having eaten here 50+ times in the last 10 years, I find the food consistent in the help on par with part-time restaurant help.

    Updating my review from last year: This review below was meant for the location at 1730 E Republic…read moreRd Ste A Springfield, MO 65804. My bad, I reviewed the wrong one, but I'm sure this location is good too! Here's my review from last year on the other location: I could tell by looking at the photos and reviews on Yelp that this place was going to be wonderful. Thankfully, when we finally gave it a shot, we were not disappointed. Talk about made fresh. Everything was so delicious and freshly prepared. Flavors were spot on. The service was fantastic. They always made sure that our drinks were filled and we had everything that we needed. My absolute favorite dish was the fried green beans with minced pork. Get it with extra minced pork and you'll love it. The steamed dumplings and pancake appetizer are also really good. Highly recommend! They also have clean restrooms with an extra large sink outside the restroom area so you can quickly wash your hands if you don't actually need to use the restroom. Pretty cool. We can't wait to go back for more!

    Interestingly enough, I gave this place a shot because it was on Yelp's "Top 100" list for Chinese…read morefood in the US.... In Springfield of all places??? I was at once both intrigued and more than a little doubtful. However, I've now been here half a dozen times (every time I visit Springfield) and I can say that most of what I've had has been extremely authentic, especially the spicy stuff! Having lived in LA and also in Asia, I'm pretty strict about what I am willing to call authentic. Corner 21 isn't perfect and a few of the dishes fell flat, but you won't find anything better in town. I'm giving it full marks for being such a pleasant surprise in a seriously unexpected place. edit: Almost forgot to mention that the portions are quite big. Portion sizes were definitely more Springfield size than big city sizes! Recommend - Szechuan Spicy Chicken, Dry Fried Green Beans, Traditional Sweet and Sour Pork, Szechuan Boiling Fish Don't recommend - Yang Zhou Fried Rice (It tasted fine, but it's supposed to use bbq and not spam)

    I don't usually write reviews but this is frustrating!! Half order for $11??!!! A tiny half cup or…read moreless of rice and 5 (4 but one was bigger) chicken? Don't get me started on the kids order...it only had TWO?! My kids were crying and I picked up through drive thru. We will never come back. Total rip off and very deceiving and a bummer because the quality & taste were so good. PLEASE Market your tiny portion control on the kids menu so parents don't get back home with only two little bites for their 7 & 10 year old & not even be able to offer any from my tiny portion. Again we won't ever come back because it truly felt like a rip off and taking advantage of because there's no way a child's order should ONLY get 2? Come on...

    We hadn't been to Lucy's in so long and tried it again as we grew up in the area. We were severely…read moredisappointed. The junior meals came with three tiny pieces of chicken. The large "meals" were not even full. Multiple items were forgotten and we had to go back. To top it all off it was a whopping $60 for barely any food. We were charged extra for sauces and all of the soda was flat. We also waited about 10 minutes in the drive through just to order and had to pull around again to get anyone to answer us. the quality has really suffered. It's disappointing that a Springfield favorite has really gone down hill. Seeing as all Chinese food is expensive these days, If you have to spend a small fortune to get good Chinese food, this isn't the place to go.
