Dragon Express

While there are a few Chinese take out places around Grand Haven, this one is slightly better than the others most of the time. The order taker is super nice. The food is ok, but dont expect anything with flavor or spice. Its a shame.
Unfortunately I have ordered a number of times and specifically asked for things like NO VEGETABLES (like with the appetizer «boneless spare ribs», WHO PUTS BROCCOLI under a bunch of so called ribs) or ask to make sure no broccoli ends up in a dish like Orange Chicken only to find when I get home they just dont listen or care. If a customer goes out of their way to make sure you dont put something in a dish and you agree and then just do whatever you want, it shows you dont really want repeat customers. Wont be going back for a while, there are other choices.

Best place to get noodles, I love their house special lo mein. They also make really great & flavorful crab rangoon. The front lady who is usually there is a sweet heart & during lunch they have a mini buffet by the register which you can order from & get to go almost immediately besides waiting in line. They also have free refills!

I don’t know why I keep expecting to find decent Chinese food in West Michigan but for some reason I keep trying. My wife and I were in the mood for some Chinese and decided to give this place a try. Woman that took our order was very friendly and they had the kitchen in open view of the customers, which was good. We played it safe by only ordering vegetable fried rice and some egg rolls. Order came up pretty quick which made me immediately think they had everything pre-​cooked and ready to box up — damn, here we go again. Egg rolls were very greasy on the outside and no flavor on the inside. Fried rice was even worse — clearly made from a frozen pre-​mix (you can always tell when it has peas and carrot cubes in it). Rice was under-​cooked, bland, and the already horrendous peas and carrots were colder than the rice. Their version of vegetable fried rice is taking this awful frozen mixture and throwing it in a wok with some onions and mushrooms (those were at least real, albeit overcooked).
Is it really that hard to cook fresh food? I really don’t think so. If you’re going to continue to serve frozen, pre-​processed crap to your customers, I guarantee you will see less and less of them coming through your doors. Food quality is everything. We obviously won’t be returning to Dragon Express.

Went there for lunch special, extremely disappointed. Food is bland and not fresh. Although it’s a large portion with a low price. Won’t recommended.

Extremely bland. Had spring rolls, beef & broccoli, and chicken fried rice. All of it bland, not impressed. Problem is I’m a foodie and know good food. If I didn’t I’d probably like this place, but ugh, how it has 4 stars is beyond me.

The best in Grand Haven since 2005 in the Grand Haven Tribune I love their food great portions great service they are just amazing there’s nothing else much to say gotta keep it simple for these folks

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the universe. My family and I have been going here for years and its always my favorite treat when I come back into town. I believe they have the best General Tso’s chicken that can be offered. Try with egg drop soup, crab meat rangoons, and white rice. The service is always efficient and extremely friendly.

Not the fanciest Chinese restaurant, but definitely the best in town. I would high recommend eating here. The service is always fast and friendly. Even faster if you call in your order. Dine in or take out, you get great service and great food.

We ate there tonight for the first time, and absolutely loved everything!
The crab Rangoon was yummy. My hubby and I shared the General Tsao chicken and the chicken with cashews. Both were delicious. My only complaint was the plastic utensils.
Everything was piping hot also. We definitely will be adding it to our list of favorite restaurants in the area.

Great place to eat, we eat here about every other week. Pork fried rice is very good, and we really like the sesame chicken dinner. The crabmeat rangoons are the absolute best ever! No crappy cream cheese in them.
I recommend going during the lunch hour 11 – 1:30 for the special ²⁄₃ item menu. Always super service.

We LOVE this place! Only chinese for us in the area!

Excellent food. I have ordered so many different items that I cannot name them all here. The Kung Bo Chicken is superb. It is spicy but if you want it more spicy, just ask. You can also get a side of their spicy sauce to put on at your own discretion, but you have to ask. The Garlic Beef is also very good. The combination platters are a good value – more than I can eat in one sitting. The Wonton soup and Shrimp Egg Rolls are delicious appetizers. I never eat inside because it is so small. I call my order in and it’s ready in about 15 minutes – always fresh and hot. Very friendly service too.

I was a little taken aback by Dragon Express because I was not a local and they make thier food a little different than the Chinese takout I’m used to. I ordered the Hunan Chicken combo for my entrée which was very tasty a good balance of vegetables and chicken but not at all spicy as specified so that was disappointing, and the egg roll that came with my meal was nothing but shredded cabbage which was dry.
The house fried rice is a bright yellow rice that was tasty with a little of everything in it but nothing special. The crab rangoon is made with a melting mozzarella cheese which is something I’ve never had before because I’ve always had crab rangoon made with cream cheese and those were pretty greasy.

I went in for the first time the other day. Had dinner and didn’t have high expectations. I was expecting basic Chinese food, but this was worse than Chinese food from the mall.
I ordered Sesame Chicken, white rice, and spring rolls. They were all very bland and lacked any flavor– even the sweet and sour sauce!
I was very disappointed. It’s not worth the money. I wouldn’t even go there for the $ 5 lunche deals.

Reliably fast and fresh takeout, limited seating. The Chicken w/​garlic sauce is very good.
