" I just had the most wonderful experience at Dragon Inn! The Szechuan green beans are out of this world! The restaurant was bright and cozy, and I had a helpful waitress who made perfect recommendations based on my spice tolerance. I ended up trying the spicy beef, and it delivered in flavor! Highly recommend to anyone looking to delight their palate! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found the experience at Dragon Inn to be just okay. While the staff was polite and friendly, the food was mediocre at best. The beef with garlic sauce was bland and lacked the punch I was seeking. I really wanted to love this restaurant but it simply didn't impress. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dragon Inn has become my go-to for Chinese cuisine in the area. The authentic spicy dishes are a joy for my taste buds! The staff has always greeted me with smiles, making the dining experience pleasant. I've tried many items, but the spicy pot remains my favorite. Can’t wait to try a whole new dish next time around! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! This place knows how to deliver on flavor! The authentic spicy pot was phenomenal, and the service was quick and attentive. I felt at ease during my meal and can honestly say that this is one of the top Chinese restaurants I've experienced in Durham. If you're a spice lover, don't miss this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently dined here and I have to say the experience was uneven. I had their dumplings which were subpar, lacking seasoning and flavor. However, my main dish was the spicy fried fish and it was absolutely incredible! Touches like that kept my spirits high despite my first course. I’ll definitely give them another chance. " (*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*)
