Great choices of Cantonese food, fresh vegetables and full of flavor. We like to sit close to the huge aquarium with a fat lazy carp and dozens of koi. Servers are friendly and helpful, atmosphere is calming

Usually, the experience has been pretty positive with this restaurant.

Unfortunately, this recent past experience was definitely less-than-ideal and was somewhat disappointing. The food and specially the service were not as fresh/pleasant as previous times.

The food, for the most part, was not like other times. The Orange Chicken and Fried Rice were delicious as is the case most of the time. Although, the fried orange peels in the Orange Chicken did not taste right.

In addition, the server failed to mention that the Steamed Vegetarian options had chicken pieces in one and fish sauce in the other food item. It was not what we wanted. Also, the Cream Cheese Wontons, although quite good and tasty, were very lukewarm and not hot and fresh like one would expect. So, overall that was upsetting.

The service was also poor. The woman (very dark hair, pulled back ponytail, short height) who was assigned to our table had a very unpleasant way about her from the very beginning. A sour face and very rude. The other servers were also very inconsiderate and just dumping the dishes very loudly in the box right next to us where we were sitting.

When we asked for to-go boxes from our server, she said that boxes 2 would be enough and that we didn't need 4 boxes. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It was somewhat comical but still rude because we actually needed 1 other box after packing 2 of the boxes. When we asked for another box, she then rudely opened the box that had been packed and closed because she doubted us and wanted to see if 1 more box was actually necessary. She then gave us 2 very small boxes, not the regular standard ones. We paid almost $100.00 to dine there and were very polite to her the whole time despite her bad attitude. It was puzzling that she was so off-putting and trying to be so frugal with the boxes.

It is understandable if someone is stressed or has had a hard day but they still need to act professionally with customers. For this reason, we will probably come back at a much later time in the future because the food and service have genuinely been quite pleasant and tasty in the past.

I try to be fair in my review and overall perspective but unfortunately Twin Dragon really fell short in both food and service this past time.

******* To the restaurant reply: Thank you for taking the time to read my review and your response. Appreciate the follow-up and any possible effort in trying to correct the aforementioned issues.

Thanks.🙏🏻

Well if you don’t have sentimental reasons for liking this place skip it all together, compared to other “LA staple” type restaurants this one fall extremely short, the food was not very good,
even Chinese-American classics like chow mein and orange chicken were just greasy and heavy, the noodles were tough and tasteless, the chicken pieces were just grey lumps that barely added anything to the dish, the orange chicken was a bit better but still basic with a slight flavor punch to it, but the white rice that was served with it was barely better than the rice I make at home, and I suck at making rice. Chinese food has been elevated by leaps and bounds since 1975, trust me you don’t need to jump into this time here machine. Over $100 bucks for a couple of apps, couple mains and two terrible
mai-tais is def NOT worth your while. There’s a bunch of other a great time machines in the city, choose better.

Ordered a rice, chicken and shrimp dish. The shrimp was definitely our favorite portions were large and service was friendly and fast!

The fried rice was just eggs and hard rice absolutely no green pea or carrots. I emailed the restaurant twice and they didn't respond back. Please see pictures.
