Dragon King

Easily the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had.
Wonton Soup tasted like old beer. The wontons themselves were 95% dough. The crispy noodles for the soup were stale. And that was the highlight of the meal.
The eggrolls were a combination of dough, cabbage, and very little else.
The sesame chicken was flavorless and the Mongolian Beef was predominantly onions and honestly tasted like literal urine. They were basically inedible.
The Pork fried rice was essentially flavorless.
It takes a lot for me to go out of my way to write a review. And normally it’s for something exceptional.
This was exceptionally bad. Very very disappointing.

Gen soa Chicken with porkfriend rice was very good! $ 6.49 total for the lunch special. I dined in & watched, as my food was being prepared. Very impressed by the portions, the quality, & the over all taste.

Decent Chinese, for being in Louisiana and in a strip mall. Americanized standard fare. Prompt, fresh food and friendly service. Inexpensive.

My boyfriend is Chinese and this is the only place Uptown he will eat chinese food. The food is always fresh, hot, and made fast. Usually about 15 – 20 minutes. We got the beef and broccoli and general Tsao’s chicken. The general’s chicken is a little sweeter than it is spicy. Heads up if you getting that one. Made different but still good!

This place has the best, consistent, standard Chinese food. The food isn’t too expensive and every time I order, everything has tasted good. I haven’t had one time where the food was bad or had any issues. I can’t say the same for other places. Jung’s is good too, but I think dragon king has better takeout portions and gives you all the sauces needed. DO NOT EAT AT GREEN TEA. the worst food ever.

Love this place. Cheap good Chinese food. They have all of your favorite dishes. I’ve dined here and done take out several times. Lunch time here gets busy but it’s not going to make you late getting back to work; lunch portions are also rather hearty. They do have a $ 10 minimum for credit cards and there have been several times where I haven’t been able to meet it based on a single order so I usually have to add on a coke or something small. If it’s 2+ people, you’ll that amount easily (but not by much more). One thing I’d like to note – I usually love lo mein but for some reason, I’m not a big fan of it here. Overall, this is a nice local establishment that I like to support. Give ‘em a try!

Good, cheap standard Chinese-​American fair.

Pretty decent place for what it is. Quick, cheap, American-​style Chinese take out. The place is clean, and the food is decent for the price, although it wouldn’t hurt to have a bit more flavor/​spices.

It was ok, I only have one beef– «similar to Chinese kitchen?»,. More like exactly the same place as «Little Chinese kitchen» at 701 David Drive, Metairie.
Saying similar to Chinese kitchen is an insult to the Carrollton eatery, and a farce! I would file a lawsuit for defamation. Unfortunately they are at Disney in Macau, and ultimately wouldn’t have any damages. Nobody would switch to this restaurant unless they needed some quick football food for a Tulane game or something. Similar is a daily loose term. Like– Jennifer Lopez & Kim kardashian both have «junk in the trunk!!!» Can you really picture such a thing?
Anyway, cabbage rolls, fried rice ok, and chicken decent

This is a typical strip mall Chinese restaurant.
Food: You can purchase here what you might find at any typical Chinese-​American style restaurant, from soups, to eggrolls, to General Tso’s chicken, and everything in between. There is nothing special or outstanding about the menu or food quality, though food is prepared quickly and fresh. One time, I ordered Mandarin Chicken, and the sauce was more like a Teriyaki than a peanut sauce, which disappointed me. The soups are super-​cheap ($ 3 – 5) and definitely an economic buy. Lunch specials available for under $ 6 includes fried rice. (3 stars: very average overall, with execptions noted above)
Service: Order food and pick up at a counter. As noted above, dishes are made-​to-​order, hot, and fresh. (3 stars)
Facilities: strip mall location, with ample parking. There is a dine-​in area of a few tables. Dining area is warm, due to close proximity to the kitchen. I suggest doing carry out if you wish to frequent this location. (2 stars: clean, but hot)
Overall: 3 stars — it’s basically a takeout establishment with decent food that is made to order quickly.

Not Chinese traditional food. If you want to taste ‘real’ Chinese food, It is not a good choice for you. All thought all the boss and hooks are Chinese guys, all the food except noodles or dumplings are changed because of Americans tastes. What’s more, it is not cheap for single people.

I used to go to this place for lunch during my McMain days in the 80’s. Not even sure if it had the same name then but it still suits my taste. Super delicious food! I’ve been looking for my «go to» Chinese and after trying a lot I’m sure this is the place. I had the sesame chicken. It was crispy and fresh with thick sauce that was not too sweet. The fried rice was flavorful and I could actually taste the vegetables and chunks of pork in it. A crispy, not greasy, egg roll to boot. My only complaint is there were no fortune cookies or sriracha, so they lost a star there. Condiments are necessary when the actual food sucks, so I wasn’t bothered by its lacking given the good eats. I’ll be back for sure.

Well, being new to New Orleans makes trying new places dangerous. I was craving Chinese food last week and trusted the better Unilocal reviews.
Long story short:
–Wonton soup was more or less disgusting, smelled like feet, tasted like dirty feet, had to throw it away
–Pork egg roll, nothing to write home about (at least it was edible)
–Crab ragoons (with no crab) were pretty bad. Too much cheese, no crab, too thick of paper, under cooked, and I burnt my tongue (last part was all my bad)
–Veggie fried rice, seriously how do people screw up fried rice? However, this place managed to ruin fried rice for me, bleh!
–Chicken lo mein with incredibly small and rubbery chicken, poor flavoring and over compensating with too large of veggies (the largest pieces of celery I’ve seen on a plate).
–Chicken with black bean sauce, definitely tasted strange, couldn’t put my finger on it
Honestly, I can eat authentic Chinese or pathetic adaptations like Panda Express and finish everything. This was $ 30 wasted (with a burnt tongue for two days). Never again.
Now can someone for the love of kittens recommend a good Chinese food place in NOLA?

On point. Easy to order. Fast. Tastes good. If the menu states something is spicy– it’s probably not.
This place is exactly what you expect.
When you call they don’t ask you’re name– so that’s normal. Don’t think twice on it.

We’ve ordered from here 4 times now. The first 3 times were mediocre. Tonight we ordered an assortment of things, including Mongolian Beef. There was hardly any beef, just some measly shreds that were hard to find amidst the massive chunks of onions. Not to mention, even if we ordered Mongolian Onion, as it should have been called, the flavor did not resemble the classic «mongolian beef» flavor. An absolute fail in all ways!
Also, we ordered shrimp and garlic a few times back, and we hardly got any shrimp. The dish was mainly all vegetables.
While Dragon King is fast and cheap, it doesn’t taste good and they skimp you unreasonably. We want to like it so we keep trying but every time it gets worse and worse. I’m promising myself I won’t eat there again.

I mean, eh.
The food was on par with typical mall Chinese food. Lots of breading on the chicken, syrupy sweet sauce. Nothing exciting, nothing stood out at all except how completely average it was.
With all the good reviews, I have to remind myself that many New Orleaneans don’t know what decent Chinese food is.
Makes me long for the Chinese food places my family used to frequent in South Texas. And that’s just sad!

4 stars, Unilocal?Ya screwed me.
Expectations: a Chinese restaurant that served food that tasted marginally ok.
Red flags: strip mall location, seating for maybe 18 people, a giant menu printed on that flimsy Chinese menu paper, the 8 colored pictures of featured food prominently displayed above the counter.
This is not food. This is chinese-​ish fast food-​like product. Chicken = pieces of stringy meat surrounded by 2x its volume of breading, fried. Sauce = corn syrup + soy sauce (not the good kind, the litlle kind that comes in packets) + coloring.
This is one of those places that exists in every city, and you swear these entrepreneurs shop in some franchise catalog and find a little ad in the lower right corner that says «OWN YOUR OWN CHINESE RESTAURANT AND MAKE BIG $$$$$!!!»
$ 30 for two people, with drinks

NOT QUITE AS FLAVORFUL AS SALTWATER
because saltwater has salt. This is perhaps the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. It’s not that the ingredients are of poor quality, but how in the heck did they manage to suck every drop of spice and heat from a dish as aromatic as Kung Pao? Even the fried rice tasted weird, like watered-​down low sodium beef broth. The egg roll was an inedible flaccid nugget of watery cabbage.
BESIDES FLAVOR THERE ARE MANY MORE «NO’S»:
NO chopsticks, they’re by request only.
NO hot mustard or Sriracha.
NO free tap water, you have to buy bottled.
NO facial expression (except ennui) from the order taker.
But worst:
NO FORTUNE COOKIE!
WAY BETTER CHINESE RESTAURANTS: any…

Farewell forever, Five Happiness! You’ve been replaced by Dragon King. This place is small and bare bones. There are a few tables in there, but I think its best for take out. Beef Lo Mein was awesome. I recommend it. General Tso’s chicken was ok, but not spicy at all.
It’s a good place to scratch the ocassional Chinese food itch.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this place.
The Hate:
They don’t deliver.
The dine in area is a bit too sterile — its mostly a take out place.
The Love:
The take out is good, but the dine in food is better. Not just because its fresher and hotter, but the portions are bigger too.
The dining room is usually empty, so you have your choice of seats, and you can be as loud as you want to be.
The fair price for the food.
I would eat from here more often if they delivered. You can call ahead or just walk in and order at the counter.
