" Every visit to Dragon Express seems to be hit or miss. On my last visit, I ordered fried scallops and a combination meal. The meal size was impressive, but the fried scallops were poorly executed—overcooked and hard. The atmosphere didn’t invite lingering; it felt like a place to get in, eat, and get out quickly. Service was quick, but not very engaging or friendly. I feel like they need to find that balance between speed and quality, as I've walked away unsatisfied a couple of times now. Currently I'd rate my experience a 3, with hope it improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dragon Express has quickly become my go-to for Chinese takeout. I make it a point to come by every Friday night to get my fix of sesame chicken and spring rolls. Delicious and consistently prepared, I adore the flavors in every bite. They never skimp on portion sizes, which is refreshing! The only downside is that sometimes I feel the service is rushed, which can be off-putting. Over the years, I've developed quite an appreciation for this restaurant, and I can confidently rate them 5 stars. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm not very impressed with Dragon Express anymore. I used to love visiting, but the last few times, the food quality has changed drastically. While I used to rave about their honey chicken, the last batch had me worried—overly sweet and devoid of the savory flavors I loved. It felt more like a sugary syrup than a proper sauce. Additionally, I've experienced unhelpful service during my last two visits, leading to confusion over my orders. I hate to say it, but I think I might be looking for alternative dining options. I would only give it a 2 right now based on recent circumstances. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Dragon Express was mixed for our group. We enjoyed large portions and swift service. The sweet and sour chicken was a hit among my friends. However, I did notice that some of the food, like the fried rice, could have used more seasoning. The ambiance was not great, feeling very much like a fast food place rather than a cozy sit-down restaurant. Additionally, it didn't feel particularly authentic to me, as a frequent visitor to Asian cuisine establishments. I did not like that there was confusion over my order with the server. While I might recommend it for a quick bite to eat, I wouldn't call it a favorite. A rating of 3 feels fair to me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just left Dragon Express after trying their lunch special for the first time! The peppered steak didn’t disappoint; it was juicy and packed with flavor! I also loved the fried rice that came with the lunch combo. The mushrooms and other veggies were perfectly cooked. I can't say enough about the quality of the food here versus the price. Service was efficient too, though it is more of a take-out vibe. The only downside was that the ambiance felt a bit rushed during lunchtime. If you're looking for a quick and delicious meal, I highly recommend checking them out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered Dragon Express last night for dinner, and I was eager to indulge in my favorite shrimp fried rice. It came packaged neatly and was still warm by the time I got home. However, upon tasting it, I was disappointed—it lacked flavor and the shrimp was overcooked. The service over the phone was friendly, but ultimately, I expected better from my go-to place. I will think twice about ordering here again if the quality continues to decline so rapidly. I’d say 2/5 for this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a quick and affordable Chinese meal, Dragon Express is definitely the place to go. I stopped by for lunch last week and ordered the lunch special that came with a good serving of fried rice and an entree. I particularly enjoyed the sesame chicken, which was tender and well-cooked. The service was friendly and prompt. However, upon trying the crab rangoons, I was aghast when I discovered they were made with a different cheese rather than the traditional cream cheese. Despite that hiccup, I was pleased overall with my meal and will certainly be back. " (*Curated Review*)
