Dragon Express

Not only did I wait an hour and a half for my food but it wasn’t even hot when it got here. My food was barely even warm! When I called to ask for a discount I was told no because that’s just how it is sometimes when the driver runs late. Wtf is that? Treat your customers better.

The food here is fairly good! Being near Fort Gordon is a definite plus if you’re on base. There isn’t too much to say about a Chinese restaurant, either it delivers and is a reasonable price, or it isn’t. This place makes my cut! :)

So wonderfully surprised by this place! We move frequently and I have to say that this is one of the best delivery Chinese places we have found. The food was still very hot when it arrived and the portions were HUGE! The flavor was delicious and they do deliver on Fort Gordon. Very very pleased with this place. We will order from here again. Thank you!

Best Chinese food hands down!!! I love this place, I have actually been here like 3 other times and just never put in a review… So I guess this makes me a regular

I work on post and usually get delivery for small groups of people. Have never had any issues with wrong orders or anything like that. The food is good and the prices are good. You don’t need to be a gourmet restaurant to get 4 or 5 stars. The people are friendly and helpful with ordering if you are uncertain about what to get. I enjoy the Egg Foo Young and the Mongolian beef a lot. The General Tso’s will not disappoint. Their crab rangoon are very good, not too sweet. I’m not sure who labeled them as $$. Not a single item is over $ 11. Cheap good food. No frills.

Really great food for really decent prices. I love the service that I get here. Staff are very friendly and they give you a very good amount of food for what you pay. It’s my favorite Chinese food spot in Augusta.

Not too bad, but not the best. The food is usually hot when it’s delivered but sometimes it’s dry, most of the time it’s alright though. I can’t complain too much. They do have pretty quick delivery which is a plus.

I don’t know what to say, Augusta. Dragon express came highly recommended and yet I find myself disappointed by some rudimentary mistakes. I can only assume this city doesn’t know anything about taste, which they’ve proven time and time again. But I digress.
To their credit, the driver was quick in delivering our food. He arrived with a large tray of food, which was far more than we had ordered. We ordered everything as a small, and everything came as a large. Strange. I went ahead and accepted anyway because I usually like having leftovers to eat throughout the week.
The food itself was just subpar. Everything tasted of excess soy sauce and salt (most likely MSG or other flavoring). I have no negative opinion of using MSG, but over seasoning a dish is a problem. The texture of the orange chicken was just wrong.
I’ve worked in Asian restaurants before. I may not be a great chef, but I can cook chinese better than this. We won’t be back.

Very impressed! The General Tso’s lunch special with ham fried rice was delicious. Though tossed in Gen Tso’s sauce, the chicken remained hot and crispy throughout. No complaints here.
The wings could be better. Much better. They’re huge, but have a different (and in my opinion, weird) taste to them. I only ate 1 of six… just couldn’t do it.
The price was excellent — $ 11.07 for the small lunch special (a good portion for one person), six wings, and a tasty sweat tea (with free refills).
If not for the wings, I would have given 5 Stars.

So I have been looking for a new Chinese place to enjoy since the ones most people use on Fort Gordon are pretty bad.
Pros: On their website they advertise an hour delivery time (which I love that they put that out there in advance) but it only took 30 mins! Yay! The lo-​mein was made with thinner noodles than what I am used to but they hooked it up by using big chunks of meat. The egg drop soup and spring rolls were great as well.
Cons: the shrimp for my sweet and sour shrimp… OMG IT WAS BURNT! Literally dry and burnt. I was so disappointed I had to take a picture and share. Usually I would let little things slide since no restaurant is perfect but burnt food that they knew was burnt and they gave it to us anyway… Very disappointed. So I am going to call and see what they say about it. :-)

For a Chinese take out joint, this spot is prefect. If you are looking for authentic Chinese cuisine this is not the place but if are looking for a laid back night with quick hot greasy Chinese take out, this is it. Portion sizes are more than enough and prices are affordable and average for take out. They cook your order fresh right in front of you and are fairly quick. My only complaint are the cashiers that are not Chinese. The lack manners, customer service, and professionalism. At least do your job and greet customers with a smile, don’t be loud and obnoxious in front of the entire restaurant, and say thank you come again etc. it’s shitty customer service that can harm a business. Despite that, if I’m craving for take out this is my go to spot.

Here is my attention grabbing first sentence that makes you read the following:
The reason I started this way is because the negative aspects are the first that come to mind, but there were really some great words to be said.
This is a review of the dine in experience.
The Bad: the pork ribs… I didn’t order it, my colleague did, but I did taste it, and it immediately had some sort of toxic weird taste (I’m guessing msg). I got the generals chicken and it was good, however it was a lot more tempura than chicken, which is almost expected from this dish, but other restaurants have a much higher chicken ratio which I like. The water also had the typical city water taste.
The Good: the friendly staff! That lady there was really friendly and easy to get along with, although a bit chatty, friendliness is appreciated. The portion sizes were great! I definitely had a to go box. The chicken was good, and the sauce was good, despite the tempura abundance. We stayed in the hotel next door and the concierge recommended the lemon pepper chicken wings. My colleague got those and they were actual chicken wings! Not those dinky things you get at east coast wings, they were legit. And he appeared to like them!
Unfortunately most reviews seem to have issues with the delivery service. As I am staying in the hotel next door, that aspect did not affect me. And it also is the reason I am writing such a detailed review, what else do you do in a hotel?!
Overall, the food I enjoyed was delicious and I’m kind of disappointed I won’t return here again to try another dish. I did almost drop the score to 3 based off of that pork alone though!

The food is very good but I don’t understand the delivery, my house is 5 minutes away and they deliver all over town even farther but not to my address.

Place was pretty good you can watch them. cook your food the staff is nice the food is great. check it out

Back in Georgia again… where else would I get Chinese? To play it safe, I decided to order the same items that I reviewed last year. The hot and sour soup blew me out of the waters and was better than I remembered. It is kind of a fusion between hot and sour soup and egg drop soup with more vegetables than the typical soups you get at most restaurants. This is the hot and sour soup that will ruin all hot and sour soups for me whenever I am traveling. Mongolian beef is still good. Slices of tender beef and julienned onions in a sweet soy sauce is still highly recommended. They also offer a whopping portion sizes. This can be easily shared between 2 – 3 people.

Best express Chinese food in the area. I live outside their delivery area but I always do carry out from here. I have tried all the Chinese food near my house but I always go out of my way to get dragon express. I just have to try to remember they are closed on Wednesdays.

Dragon express is the best delivery Chinese food we’ve found in the area so far unfortunately they don’t deliver to our area now. The sweet and sour pork is my favorite and I love the egg rolls my husbands go to is the general tso’s. Very good for the price and they’re always fast and friendly.

Dragon express is «OK» if your in the mood for Chinese food. Having a lazy day here on Fort Gordon and decided to order delivery. They don’t have a website so I was glad to find their menu on here. I ordered the General Tso Chicken and a small chicken fried rice. The food was good. They put it all in the same box, but it didn’t bother me. There was a lot more chicken fried rice than I was expecting, which wasn’t a bad thing at all. Overall it was good. I would order from them again.

The hubby and I were in search of a good Chinese restaurant since moving to the Augusta area. One of his co-​workers suggested that we try out Dragon Express. So we came here yesterday for lunch and ordered some food to-​go.
We ordered Mongolian beef, orange chicken, fried rice, wontons, sesame chicken, two egg rolls and white rice. The food was great, service was quick… we waited for about 10 minutes for our food and the staff seemed pretty polite.
The restaurant itself seemed clean and it wasn’t busy at all. The building looks like it might have been an old Waffle House. And I heard that they deliver to Fort Gordon so the next time we decide to order Chinese food, we’ll try out their delivery service.

Dragon Express is like that awesome 3000 dollar car you buy to get you through the year; it’s nothing fancy, it gets you where you need to on time, and best of all, it’s reliable.
They always quote one hour for delivery but they usually get to you much quicker; they also do charge a delivery fee if you order under 13 or so dollars, I believe.
I’ve been ordering from Dragon Express for over a year and my usuals are:
General Tso’s Chicken, Extra Spicy
Orange Beef, Extra Spicy
Shrimp and Scallops
Chicken Lo-​Mein
Hot and Sour Soup, Extra Spicy
If you’re ordering a combination, opt for the wings instead of the egg roll.
PS: Their ham fried rice that comes with every combo meal pretty much beats out any other fried rice in this area.
