DragonFly

I thought this place was pretty great. Cheap, the food tasted amazing, and the staff was super friendly. I had a big order yet they were patient and helped me work it out. I had been trying to find good Chinese food in Charlotte and I finally did! The location is awesome too

This place is amazing. I had my whole family in town and we made a takeout order for 18 people. The owners were very helpful and patient in taking our order, making sure we had enough food for everyone, reviewing it thousands of times and then splitting it all between 7 different cards. Not to mention that the food is absolutely amazing. Their spring and vegetable rolls are the best I’ve had and their orange chicken is out of this world. Overall, great experience and great service.

Noticed that a lot of people that wrote bad reviews on here are the typical «only bad reviews» folks who think Unilocal makes them a food critic. Food is good here. Service has always been great. It’s a solid takeout spot.

Didn’t blow my mind but was VERY good. I got the general tso chicken with rice and an egg roll on the lunch special for $ 7. Can’t beat it if you’re in the area.

Not your typical fast Chinese food, it’s way better! I had the hot & sour soup followed by the asparagus twin delight. The asparagus was crispy, but not too hard and the flavor was excellent. I will definitely go back and try other dishes.

Last night we ordered food from dragon fly through Foodie call. We wanted to do pick up, but the lady who was at the hostess/​cashier stand gave our food order to a driver for delivery. We understand we things get busy there is gonna be mess up, but she kept refuse to take responsibility and said its not her fault. After the food came back from the driver, the hostess refused to remake our food. They food has been out for like 40 mins in the cold air and we need to drive 20 mins back home. We had to get angry for her to remake the food. The food tasted alright but we wouldn’t go back again due the service experience.

This is my go-​to place for Chinese. We’ve tried the General’s Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Chicken with mixed vegetables, Chicken Wings, Spring Rolls and Chicken lo Mein. All of it has been hot, fresh and delicious every time. We typically just get take out but have dined in a few times.

My favorite local Chinese restaurant. Fast, friendly service. Good sized portions. Always really fresh tasting. The best hot and sour soup I’ve had. Good selections and reasonable prices. I just wish they delivered!

Good quality Chinese food. Very generous portions. Haven’t seen the inside of the restaurant since I ordered through foodie call, but I was pleased with the food and with the packaging!

I’m kind of surprised by some of these reviews. I’ve only gotten takeout from DragonFly (never inside) but I’ve now done it 4 times and been pretty darn satisfied when I picked the food I wanted.
Let’s start with the «Average and acceptable». The Fried Rice is the way I like it — a little salty and well done. However it really could use an extra egg and some veggies. It’s offered as a side dish with everything so I know they want to cheap out, but this place would earn half a star from me if they spent an extra .25/​serving on adding some ingredients to the rice.
Sesame Chicken and General Tso’s are your standard fare.
Hot and Sour soup could use more of both flavors. Broth is a little too thick — why not cut down on the corn starch and let the spice/​lemongrass flavor shine? Ingredient density could be better but isn’t bad.
Now the great: The Mu-​Shu pork is fantastic. Nothing particularly exciting or unique, but solid execution all around. The Pancakes are the correct style, and the plum sauce included is divine.
The spring rolls! Holy moly. Get a couple of these suckers, and make sure they’re the shrimp variety. There’s a shrimp in each one and they’re positively delicious. A great starter AND desert with your meal.
Once again I can’t speak to service or whatever — I will admit the waiters didn’t look like they cared at all when I’ve walked in but the takeout food is very acceptable for SouthPark.

Really, not good.
Flavors aren’t bad, but chicken meat in sweet & sour chicken seems tenderized and gives you the –you know what’s-. The shrimp is frozen and not great.
Noodles are chewy, but not in a good way.
Egg drop soup tasted weird and probably contributed to the –you know what’s.
Egg roll has very little meat in it, which was probably a good thing.
Will not eat there again.

Horrible… worst Chinese ever. Walked in at 5:00 the place was empty. Service was poor. The food was tasteless and flavorless. We left the food on the table, paid for the egg rolls and left.

I used to be a regular of Dragon Fly a few years ago… They had excellent fried rice and food was always fresh… I don’t know what happened? I guess they changed their cooks or something because their food has significantly declined in taste. I ordered house special fried rice for take out one night and it was DISGUSTING! Way too much salt/​soy sauce which pretty much ruined the entire dish for me. I’ve tried to give this place a few extra opportunities but I think it’s time for me to part ways with them.

Great lunch spot. Perfect portions, amazing prices. Good quality authentic, quick «American» Chinese.
Chicken and broccoli is where it’s at! Crab rangoons were also on point.

The food was so gross!
It was greasy and very bland. I very disappointed because the reviews were so generous but I will not go back. Plus their sanitation score was 91.5! Way too low.

The food is great. It’s my go to for chinese. The crab rangoons, pot stickers and hot and sour soup are all great. They give you the little fried things to dip in sweet and sour sauce. I usually get Ho Fun but this last time, they changed the noodles from extremely wide to almost like Pad Thai noodles. It was a disapoint but was still okay.
the restaurant is usually quiet and clean. Service is always great. There is convienent parking although getting out of the plaza can be difficult if you are trying to go left.

Stopped here for dinner on a Monday night. Good, quick American Chinese if you are looking for something filling and tasty. Girlfriend and I split the following dishes:
Egg Drop Wonton Soup — soup for one (but big enough to share) that was strangely orange and thick and contained two somewhat chewy dumplings. Not my favorite, but girlfriend liked it.
Chicken Wings — legs and wings deep fried in a slightly curry-​flavored breading. Very tasty! Six pieces.
Triple Delight — pork, chicken, and shrimp stir fried in a brown sauce with some leeks. Served with rice. Tasty, though brown sauce was a little heavy. Only a couple shrimp.
All portions were filling. Spent $ 20 for the two of us. Decent food at reasonable prices.

Great food for about $ 12-​$ 15 for dinner and $ 8 or so for lunch. Seriously nice presentation and service.
I had the Hibachi style shrimp which came with fresh broccoli and rice — the shrimp were plump and the sauce was light and delicious. They don’t heat the plates so the good cools a bit quickly but other than that it’s really very good.
As you may already know I’m a booth girl … There are cozy booths and tables too so you can enjoy a group of your friends and family. There’s an outdoor terrace and the tables look out onto it. Portions are generous but not over the top.
This is a reasonably priced and modest place … Unless you’re expecting the Beverly Hills Country Club with its brunch buffet ice sculptures, you’ll have a nice time.

Honestly a 2.5, but I am going with a two based on the service and smells I endured during my visit.
Upon arriving on New Year’s Day, around 11:30, there was only one other table dining in the restaurant. Immediately I noticed a strange smell, almost urine smell, which was very discouraging. I was seated and noticed the booth seats were torn, and didn’t even up to the table.
With that said, I decided to give it a chance and chose to order the shrimp with mixed vegetables lunch combo with a spring roll and fried rice, with a cup of wonton soup. I was brought egg drop soup, which tasted horrible, so after 10 minutes of trying to flag down my waiter, who was on his cell phone in the back of the restaurant, I expressed that I received the wrong soup. He brought the wonton soup, which was just okay, but before I even had a chance to enjoy it my lunch was delivered. The spring roll was not cooked, very doughy and bland. As for the shrimp with vegetables, very good and a nice lunch portion. The fried rice was decent, but was basically brown rice fried, one one sliver of egg and one carrot, a little disappointing. And, the most upsetting part was my waiter was MIA the entire time, and when he did stop by he smelled of smoke. I get employees need breaks, but it is not too attractive when they smell like a smoke stack, especially when handling food.
Honestly, not sure I will arrive anytime soon.

Great Welcome at the Front Door! They do NOT remember me… Until Today (Lunch) it has been a while… Today was my third or fourth Dine here… The Lady takes me to the Far side of the Restaurant away from the chatter so I could have some Peace and relative Quite. She did not see the Camera yet she gave me a Table with Great lighting and asked if this Table was Alright? It was Perfect and I said to her «Perfecktic!!!»
MUSTARD Sauce was soooo right, my nose ran a little bit! Yes I licked the Bowl! Hot though not too Hot! The Mustard gets 4 Unilocal stars
My Waiter asked me some questions I asked him some: «What Vegetables come with the Mongolian Beef» he replied: «Green Onions and White Onions unless you want to add something else»… I said «No that is Perfektic!
Spring Roll MUST have Been Freshly Rolled, Very Nice! 4 stars if it had been an Egg Roll… Close still for a Big Spring Roll!
Mongolian Beef better than most American «Chinese» places making this dish for Americans… Nice Flavor with NONE of the Vegetables I have to tell other places to leave out, which makes ordering here easier! Quality Of Beef or the way they Cook it VERY Good! This Dish gets 4 stars
