Great little place for some Chinese. They have a very long, text-only menu, but chances are if you’re going to a Chinese restaurant you already know what you like and don’t need a picture to help you decide. I got the chicken and broccoli dinner combination, which comes with fried rice, wontons (it comes with meat wontons, not cream cheese) and egg drop soup. They have a similar option with an egg roll instead of the meat wontons, and a rice soup instead of egg drop. Soup choices were presented as “today’s soups” so those likely alternate. Everything was very good, and the chicken in the entree was actually tender, not rubbery like is common at similar Chinese restaurants. I’ll be adding Chinese Dragon to my list of options when in DL.

A wide selection of Chinese dishes. Although a slightly different take on common recipes, everything I've tried has been tasty. The one to five spicy scale seems a bit on the low end so 5 is like medium.

Great food and staff!! Sesame chicken is sooooo good! Egg rolls are excellent! I'm from Chicago and lived in Minnesota for 15 yrs. The only place I have found that has BBQ Pork fried rice. It's very good. Chunks of pork could be a little bigger but still very good!

Excellent service. The host was very kind and seated us right away. The server came immediately with waters and menus. Super yummy food. Our table of 5 was treated so well by everyone and in a timely fashion. Such good food.

Great food and amazing service! Amanda is such a friendly server! I enjoy coming here because of her and the quick service and tasty food!

Absolutely AMAZING!! Server was sooo nice! Atmosphere was awesome and not tacky. Service was fast even during the dinner rush and a packed house. Food came out very hot and perfectly seasoned with tons of flavor! I love that the menu describes each dish & the ingredients so thoroughly. There's no surprise of what you're ordering! I like that they are willing to do substitutions but it will cost you. The serving sizes are HUGE! Much more than any other Asian restaurant I've been to. Owner takes immense pride in his homemade egg rolls and high quality ingredients. You can tell they order high quality beef & chicken! The beef & broccoli dinner was so good with plenty of leftovers! The meat was so tender! Great place to eat! Will always be one of my favorites in town! 2 thumbs up & highly recommend!

Amazing food! Always happy to drive from Fargo to DL just to eat here

This place was very peaceful and the food is amazing I definitely would come back here weekly for this amazing meal choice. Excellent service on top of it. Thanks so much for the great experience.
