China Dragon I

This is my first time here, and let me tell you… YUMMY!
The waitress was beyond nice, very helpful and had a contagious smile.
We had the potstickers and crab Rangoon for an appetizer they were delicious!
Then for the main course we had the orange chicken and the beef lo mein, they were both great, lots of beef in the lo mein and the chicken was all white meat and juicy.
There were 3 of us for dinner and we had
enough leftovers for another entire meal!
I will definitely be back!

Wow, I just wish I would have tried them sooner! I’m definitely a convert. I finally had the chance to try out China Dragon i and have no words to express how impressed I was. Food– OUTSTANDING. Service– AMAZING. Atmosphere-​PERFECT. Prices are GREAT! Will most definitely be frequenting. Yay!!!

I finally stopped in for the first time the other day and I’m glad i did. It’s a bit of a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall so it’s not really quick to see and the name sounds generic enough to scare alot of people off but dont let it fool you. They have the best lunch special in the area, 3 sushi rolls, soup, and i think a egg roll for $ 10. Their Miso soup was the best I’ve had, and the Philadelphia roll was fantastic in flavor and size as well as rice portion. They do a $ 16 all you can eat sushi lunch and $ 20 dinner that i think ill try tomorrow night. Definitely worth stopping in. Friendly employees and very hip inside. I just wish they had a sushi bar to sit at as i enjoy watching them make your food and talk with you but its just tables and booths.

Husband and I have a taste for sushi and chicken fried rice. We just moves to the area so we are still testing out places. So we decided to give this place a try. I am absolutely impressed with their food. We had it delivered. We ordered two containers of sushi chicken fried rice and the pot stickers. Oh my goodness. It’s a little pricey but we have so much leftover we will be eating it for days. Will definitely be returning here and will definitely tell everyone I know. The food was still hot like it had just been cooked not driven to us and the appearance was mouth watering. If you are in the mood for good food definitely try them out. You will not be disappointed. (:

This place is the BEST! Clean Clean Clean. the food is DELICIOUS! And the service is top notch. The soups are to die for… we have gotten a variety of entrees here, and they never disappoint. Good Prices, Good Portions, Good Food!

Food was absolutely amazing. The staff is incredibly nice & tentative. Portions are HUGE. We came out from Hampshire, as all the Chinese food around us is terrible. We had to try a little bit of everything, so we ordered crab rangoon (6 giant pieces) edamame and eggrolls & chicken rice soup. All were delicious. Ordered chicken fried rice and it was overflowing. The beef chow fun was wonderful. Had 1 sushi roll and it was delicious. We will ABSOLUTELY be back! Our 5yr old loved her smoothie, and asked of we could come back for dinner tomorrow :)

Great food. I have never had a bad meal. I have not tried the sushi yet but it looks wonderful. Reasonable prices and awesome service.

I haven’t updated my review in 3+ years, so I figured I should do that! Since I first ordered from China Dragon I we have tried many dishes and have not been disappointed by anything. The portions are very generous, the meat and seafood is good quality and the vegetables are fresh. We pick up food from China Dragon I several times a month and I have not been back to the other Chinese takeout place I used to order from.
Since my last review, they opened a «dine in» area and are now offering a good selection of sushi, as well. I am not a sushi fan, so I can’t review that, but I have heard from friends who love sushi that it is very good. My family and I have not dined in, but the dining room has a cute, modern look.

all food not that good! in fact seemed old and wore out, never again, oh the humanity! do they add sulfur? even the cookies were stale,

Love love love the sushi. Our go to place since moving to the burbs. I have only had take out but we have tried a lot of rolls and they are all delicious and fresh. Would highly recommend and will continue to get our sushi here. Good prices, good service, good food… What more can you ask for.

What a hidden gem. No need to drive to Chicago for good Chinese, Thai, Koren and more. We heard about this place from a local online chat site on Facebook. Glad I saw the post! Highly recommend.

I am only reviewing the delivery. Food is fresh and not greasy, and plentiful for the price. Delivery was on time. I would order again.

The Chicken Pad Thai was pink in color and tasted disgusting. The shrimp toast was burnt to a crisp. I wanted to like this place but, I don’t think I can give it another try.

Wow, they have a lot of options here! If one doesn’t want to head east towards the Schaumburg area for select Thai or Vietnamese soups head here. I’ve been here quite a few times through the years. Decent. Leave it to me to order phở via delivery (?). I was just curious to see what would happen and I was surprised! They managed to keep the rice noodles seperate. The broth tasted authentic and refused to cool down. Beef slices were very tender. Bean sprouts, basil, lime, jalepeno were all included along with siracha and hoisin sauce. impressive for takeout/​delivery. I had a feeling the noodles would start sticking together as they will continue cooking in their own steam while heading to their destination. there is only so much a place can do to prevent that. If you ask for spicy, they will comply.
Of course they have the typical american/​chinese food to suit everyone’s needs, but they even have stuff like eel fried rice, a sushi menu, a thai menu, even a Malaysian and Korean item or two. The smoothies are also good.

We ordered dinner from here the other evening for delivery. We usually order from another place because they have sesame beef, but they were closed. So, on to China Dragon. We ordered the shrimp fried rice, sesame chicken, crab rangoons, and egg rolls. I thought everything was really good. The shrimp fried rice is packed with tons of little shrimps. Everything came hot, and the price is comparable to other Chinese restaurants in the area. I have never been to the actual location, but the delivery service is good!

I have found a wonderfully priced, fresh tasting, and beautifully presented sushi place!
This review is purely TAKE-​OUT we did not eat in the restaurant.
I have been searching for a reasonably priced sushi place for a while. From Sushi Station to WoW Sushi to SushiCafe.
(Jurin is excellent but we don’t usually have the money to buy from them.)
We got Godzilla, Rainbow, Philadelphia, and of course the California for roughly $ 35. Each were arranged in a pleasing way. None of them crumbled apart. The flavors were delicious; just the right amount of sauce on the Godzilla, and the fish tasted fresh, not frozen or old.
When we called to verify that the ‘assorted fish’ on top of the rainbow roll didn’t have Tilapia.
Side Rant:
*** If any place serves tilapia in sushi it is NOT traditional and is merely to cut costs. They are cheating you out of money, and cheating you out of a good sushi experience. Talking about you Sushi Station. Gross! ***
Anyways, the employee who answered the phone was very polite and double checked. Assuring us it would be White Fish or White Tuna. They also accommodated to putting a smaller amount of cream cheese in the Philadelphia roll.
I was weary to place our order due to unflattering or lack of reviews over their sushi. But I figured they had to be better than WOW Sushi. They surpassed! I would put them right up there with Jurin. I will most definitely be placing orders with China Dragon in the future whenever I am in the area.
Overall fantastic Service from Start to finish.
They are tucked in a bit off of Algonquin Rd but when you see the Subway you will see them next door.

Second visit just as good. We love the potstickers and Mongolian beef. The beef is delicious, tender not rubbery. Sesame chicken is really good. Pretty much everything we’ve tried so far has been really good. The décor is kinda funny and they play Lady Gaga on repeat but aside from that this place is solid. Plus generous portions for the money.

Can’t rave enough about them. Food is INCREDIBLE! However, there are plenty of places to get great Chinese food. What you can’t get just anywhere is the amazing friendliness and service you get here. The owners and staff don’t treat you as a valued customer — they literally treat you like family. They remember how you like your food (extra spicy for my wife, no mushrooms for me!), they remember to include things like chop sticks and soy sauce without being asked… And they smile, ask about the family, etc. The service is enough to keep me from going anywhere else. But the food… My mouth is watering just thinking about the Mongolian Beef!

I haven’t had Chinese in let’s see… over two years. Wasn’t intentional, just happened. Prior to that, I could have it a couple times a year, but was most always disappointed. Since I lived in China, I just haven’t been satisfied with «Americanized Chinese.» Even going to major city Chinatowns and asking for the dishes I preferred would bring a woeful look and an apology «we just can’t get those ingredients in the U.S.»
I usually fare a little better with dim sum — most places haven’t Americanized it as yet. I suppose that will happen in time. We’ll see scrambled egg and sausage steamed dumplings, or some such.
Oh well.
One major difference is surely the cost of ingredients in China vs the US. The Chinese aren’t tempted to saturate dishes with inexpensive «fill» like in the US, and the US restaurants idea of fill is vegetables you’ll never see in China — zucchini, carrots, and such.
And of course, there is always the «American invented» dishes on Chinese menus in the US, like «Crab Rangoon,» supposedly crab flakes, cream cheese and scallions in a deep fried won ton wrapper. Seems these first appeared at the Polynesian themed chain «Trader Vics» in the mid 50s. They have devolved to be much heavier on the cream cheese (a product that was never available in Asia until the past few years), and if there is any crab at all, it’s that artificial crab. Sigh.
I was back in suburban Chicago to see a client and wanted something different, looked for places that would deliver to the hotel, and found China Dragon via one of the food delivery services. Ordered shrimp with cashews, a couple egg rolls, and the crab rangoon.
The entrée was OK, but I didn’t care for the egg rolls at all, there was some ‘under taste’ that I couldn’t identified, and the «rangoons» were completely devoid of crab.
The restaurant does furnish you with ample quantities in the servings, it’s hot, delivered quickly, and inexpensive. And they furnish you with a couple years worth of soy sauce, sweet and sour, and mustard packets.
If you’re looking for delivered Chinese in the NW surburbs of Chicago, order through a delivery service, or directly on the restaurant’s website.

This is the first time I’ve ordered from this establishment and I was left underwhelmed. The only reason I decided to give them a try was because I had a $ 5 voucher emailed to me. Keep in mind I only ordered a couple of items which may or may not be indicative of the entire menu.
My Order:
(s) Pan Fried Noodles
(s) General Tso Chicken
6 Piece Crab Rangoon
Pros:
First off aside from the food the staff was very welcoming and nice to me. They greeted me as I came in and made me feel very welcome. Now getting to the food the vegetables that came with my noodles were crisp and fresh tasting. The crab Rangoon came in a large portion which my family did enjoy. Also the white rice that came with my order was cooked well.
Cons:
The pan fried noodles were nothing like I expected. The to go box they came in was mostly packed with large pieces of vegetables that were separate from the noodles. The noodles themselves were at the very bottom of the container and were burnt in spots and flavorless.
However, the chicken was the biggest disappoint. It was really hard and dry making it difficult to chew. Lastly even though my family liked the Rangoon it had just a little too much cream cheese for my taste.
