Dragon Chinese Kitchen

I think they have the best Chinese food on this part of Toms River (east side, near 37 and Island Heights). We always get delivery, sometimes pick up. Our food order is never wrong. They will tell us anywhere from 30 – 45 minutes for delivery but usually they are here in 20 minutes.
We had one issue where we ordered just 2 combo platters and were told 15 minutes. 45 minutes went by and no food and when we called the restaurant, they had no idea where the driver was. We then told them that we no longer wanted the food since I had to leave for work and it was pointless to deliver food, EXCEPTIONALLY LATE, for somebody that can no longer eat it. Needless to say, I was aggravated and I had to leave for my overnight job and get food on the run (NOT happy). The driver arrived 20 minutes after I left, which was a total of 85 minutes or so from actual ordering time to actual delivery time. My boyfriend explained to the driver that he called the restaurant and we no longer wanted the food, so he left.
Since that one incident, we have had NO ISSUES whatsoever. I assume it was a one time mixup.

Sorry retarded family could not remember were they order from disregard

They have the best dumplings ever. For me, the measure of a good Chinese joint is good dumplings. Almost everything is made fresh, which one can tell by peeking into the back kitchen. Also their prices are good, with a good selection. Biggest bonus for me is their convenient location for me.

This has been our favorite Chinese spot for years. It’s been the same family the whole time. It’s a pretty typical menu but the food is the best. Our regular orders include General Tzos Chicken, Mooshu Shrimp and Chinese Vegetable soup. We make it a habit to get some carryout as we live just out of their delivery range.

Place is under new management and boy what a difference volcano beef is slamming my girlfriends favorite is the cold sesame noodles lots of peanut goodness so far everything I’ve tried has been excellent I am very friendly there

Dragon Chinese Kitchen is a normal family small Chinese restaurant. The food is tasty yet overpriced. The location is not clean and the staff is unfriendly. You will normally find the staff yelling at each other in Mandarin and you’ll see their children taking up all the seats with their toys and coloring books. For better Chinese I recommend No. 1 China or Master Wok in the mall.

We have eaten here 2 times before and really enjoyed the food so I was a little upset today with the customer service before we placed our third order that we will now never go back.
The last 2 times we ordered (in the last 6 weeks) we were given a bottle of coke each time for free as we had ordered a lot of food. When I called to place my order this time I asked if it was possible to exchange the 2 bottles as well as the one they were giving me today for diet coke as we can not drink the sugar. We were told no because the soda was now «old». I explained it was soda not an egg roll and the expiration date was still current but they would not hear anything of it so we just cancelled the order and will now never order again. I was speaking with the owner and said are you willing to lose a customer over a bottle of soda and she said if that’s what you have to do then do it.
As a small business owner also I could or imagine losing a customer over a bottle of soda especially with the plethora of Chinese restaurants around but that’s exactly what they did, so silly.

I’ve been eating at Dragon Chinese Kitchen since my family moved to Toms River; around 1986. I was only 3 at the time so don’t remember too much from that period; what I can remember is the countless times in high school, college, and even living on my own, heading to Dragon for their awesome food.
If my wife and I looked at each other, with that «What’s for dinner» look, we knew it was a Dragon night, practically without saying.
We knew something was wrong back in December when we had one of their menus hanging on our front door. Never, in my 20+ years, do I remember them sending out menus.
Well, turns out they sold the place, and its new owners. The food is no where near as good. I used to consider this one of my favorite Chinese places around. It was standard American-​Chinese fare, but it was awesome. Their soups were especially good for any cold or illness. Nothing like chicken & rice to cure just about anything.
It’s still open, but in my eyes, it’s not. Sad to see a staple that we’ve loved for years, no longer around.

Customer here for a long time. We are a 99% delivery customer. Food is good, always hot and consistent. Delivery is super fast. Dumplings, soups & fried rices are the highlights of their Americanized Chinese.

Pretty good for your basic Americanized Chinese food. They had an interesting combo won Tom and egg drop soup that blended two of my faves. The egg roll was fairly bland, but the pork fried rice was decent.
The biggest con is the restaurant location; if you’re coming from the west you’ll have to drive along back streets for a bit. The tricky part is that you can’t see the place from the back (or the side for that matter). Make sure to have your GPS set.
