China Dragon

Tasty food at reasonable prices. The other night, I got takeout General Tso’s Chicken and Beef and Broccoli, and found the food a decent value for the money. My order costed less than $ 15, and had a ton of food. Really enjoyed the Beef and Broccoli, which had real, tender cuts of beef as opposed to a slimy, non-​meat variant. If you’re looking for a quick meal in Morton at prices that won’t break the bank, go to China Dragon.

My go to place for Chinese carry out. Probably the best place in the Morton /​East Peoria Area. Really like anything that includes their Roast Pork. Their lo mein is excellent. Some of the best Crab Rangoon.

Love this place! It’s my go to Chinese place when I’m craving some carry out! I highly recommend the orange chicken!

In a word — horrible. Chinese food, in my experience, typically breaks the pick two rule and is good, fast and cheap. Unfortunately, China Dragon has completely managed to remove the ‘good’ from their food. We ordered: Chicken Lo-​mien (bland, tasteless, over cooked noodles), Beef and Broccoli (beef was void of any flavor, the sauce tasted like beef broth with a thickening agent added, broccoli was surprisingly cooked well, but also void of any flavor), General Tso’s Chicken (this dish normally has anything from a slight kick to hot, it was not — worse it was just as bland as the beef and no ‘chicken’ could be found among the fried balls of mystery substance), White rice (cooked well, no complaints), Crab Rangoon (if you’ve never had this you would think it was OK, if you have, it is ‘OK’ at best).
Also, a personal pet peeve, they only take cash or checks and don’t mention it on the phone when you order. I had to run out and get cash from my wife just to buy dinner as I typically carry maybe $ 5 and who uses checks anymore!
On a more positive note the staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Best cheap takeout Chinese food I’ve had anywhere in Central Illinois. I’ve been impressed with everything I’ve gotten from there, including the Hot and Sour Soup which a lot of otherwise good restaurants seem to be able to do well. Be warned though – they do not take credit cards, so come armed with either cash or a check.

I can’t give anything over three stars because the food is exactly what you’d expect from a strip mall Chinese restaurant where the lunch special is $ 5. That being said, it met expectations, was quick, and had about 20 lunch special options. Hunan shrimp was clouted as spicy but barely packed a punch. Did have decent amount of veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, baby corn, carrots) but next time would ask for white rice instead of fried as it was way too greasy.

I love China Dragon, my favorite is there chicken with orange peel.

The best takeout Chinese food. China Dragon just can’t be beat. If, heaven forbid, you ever find yourself in Morton, IL and crave some chicken fried rice and wontons you know where to go.
