" The food at Dragon Inn was very good but the overall experience was underwhelming. I tried the chow mein which was delicious, however, the atmosphere left something to be desired – it felt a bit cramped. The service was decent but not particularly attentive. I think it’s worth visiting for a takeout order rather than dining in. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t impressed with my experience here at all. The service was mediocre and the food was bland. The noodles were undercooked and the general atmosphere did not make me want to linger. I think this restaurant might appeal to some but it's not for everyone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the best meal at Dragon Inn! Their hot pot is perfect for spice lovers, and I was thrilled to see how many authentic options they offer. I went with a group, and we were able to customize our pots, adding exactly what we wanted. The staff was cheerful and made sure our dining experience was enjoyable. It's always great to discover places that serve food steeped in tradition! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn't say Dragon Inn is perfect but their food is definitely a highlight. The staff was friendly, but we did have to wait a while for our food to arrive. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and it was delightful but didn't have as much shrimp as I expected. The authenticity is there, but there’s definitely room for improvement in terms of speed. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally decided to check out Dragon Inn and I must say it has been a delightful culinary journey! The authentic spicy pot is to die for! It's packed with an array of fresh veggies and perfectly cooked meat. The service was friendly and attentive too, I felt very welcomed. I can't wait to go back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dragon Inn surprised me with their authentic flavors! The spice level was just right, and each dish felt thoroughly crafted. Their egg drop soup was flavorful, and I enjoyed their meticulousness in preparation. The place was a bit cramped, but nothing could take away from the tasty food. Definitely worth a visit for authentic Chinese food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved my experience at Dragon Inn last week! Everything was clean, and the staff was polite. I ordered the house special egg foo young and it was delicious! The sauce had the right balance of flavors and the sides were generous. Looking forward to my next visit. Definitely coming back for more spicy dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
