" I'm quite picky when it comes to my Chinese food, and I didn't feel like Dragonwell met my standards. Though some items on the menu were decent, I found many dishes averaged out to be somewhat bland or overcooked. The spring rolls were definitely not what I expected—a real let-down! Unfortunately, this place wasn't for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden treasure! My boyfriend and I were blown away by the flavors, particularly in the mapo tofu. Each dish was authentically Chinese and just delicious! The service was attentive and friendly, creating a welcoming environment. We can't wait to bring our friends back with us, this place is too good to keep secret! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Dragonwell Bistro was pleasant with friendly staff and a warm environment. The honey walnut shrimp was tasty, though I felt the portion could have been a bit larger. I appreciate that they have dishes that cater to gluten-free diets. It’s a nice option when dining out in Portland. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations after hearing great things about Dragonwell Bistro. Unfortunately, my experience fell short. The food was overpriced for what it was, and the flavors didn't stand out. While the service was friendly, I find myself looking for a more authentic Chinese dining experience. I probably won't return here again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pleasantly surprised by this little gem! The flavors were well balanced and fresh. The kung pao chicken was delightful with the perfect spice level. Great place to grab a casual meal—family-friendly atmosphere! The staff was super nice, and I didn’t feel rushed at all during our meal. Will visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is always friendly. I've been here several times and have never been disappointed. It’s great for both casual dining or a special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Dragonwell Bistro and was truly impressed. The food was authentically prepared, and the flavors burst in every bite.
