A no frills Chinese restaurant , but excellent food and service. We’ve been to this place quite a few times, it’s clean, bathrooms are clean and well stocked and the food is consistently good!

The Kung Pao Chicken was bland & dry. Some of the chicken had a rubbery texture. I also like when bell peppers are mixed in & was disappointed that the only vegetable added to this was thick cut spring onions. Bell peppers would give this dish flavor & texture. I ordered online & picked it up. The service was fast! The order was ready 15 minutes before they projected it to be ready. I appreciated the text notifying me that it was ready so it didn’t get too cold.

Huge Gluten-free menu. Excellent! Artistic photography gallery. And, the service was friendly.
I love this restaurant!! High quality, fresh, and intentional Chinese dishes and ingredients in the heart of marina district. The owners are so kind and passionate. I notice all the details from the high quality beef in beef chow fun, homemade pancakes in the mu shu pork, tasty candied walnuts in the walnut prawns, and chocolate fortune cookies. Come here with your friends or family next time you want delicious healthy food. Enjoy!!

Really good food! I ordered the Tofu and tomato and beef dish, it was amazing! I loved Oyster sauce used in the dish, as well as the VERY flavorful beef! It was so tasty and yummy. I also ordered a small Jasmine rice which they put next to my dish, the sauce and beef go really well with it! Apart from my dish, I also liked how many Gluten Free options this restaurant had (a whole GF menu!). They also provided freshly baked Fortune cookies at the end of my meal.

An excellent place for a wide variety of dishes, we tried 5-7 dishes and loved all of it. Our server was very helpful, knew the ingredients in their food and was easily able to suggest dishes based on our tastes.
Dietary restrictions: Semi easily accommodated depending on your needs
Parking: Parking here can be quite challenging, best bet is to park in one of the parking garages a few blocks away

Even though the food was good, it isn’t safe for a celiac person, I am extremely disappointed since they have a whole gluten free menu, however the food was clearly cross contaminated since I ended up feeling sick the next day, bloated, fatigued, migraines etc, I clearly got glutened. If they can’t secure safety for people with Celiac disease they shouldn’t offer a “gluten free” menu but rather a “gluten friendly”, so us celiacs can know and not eat here thinking it’s safe :(
Dietary restrictions: Not safe for people with celiac disease

I was so excited to find gluten free, battered chicken with their GF ABC Chicken and I wasn't disappointed. It's been so long since I've been able to order something like this and it was delicious. A tad too sweet for me, but the batter was crispy and it had a nice level of spice (I would compare it to sweet chili sauce spice level). The GF Minced Chicken in Lettuce Cups weren't quite as flavorful as others I've had, but still delicious. My husband also enjoyed his non-GF wok prawns.

Alerting celiacs ? While Dragon Well may claim to have a gluten free menu and awareness, most of their options are not only cross contaminated in a shared fryer … but their kitchen only has two woks which means sharing - no dedicated gf space as I had been told before. Spoke with their manager this time who informed me previous servers thrice(!) have been serving me cross contaminated meals, even though at the time they had been adamant all was safe. If you do dine here and are severely reactive to CC, stay away from anything that has tofu and do not get the beans (they are deep fried). Dragon Well really should consider placing a warning on their menu since all three occasions, before today, their servers told me otherwise. lesson learned - always speak to the manager or owner of any place that is not dedicated GF.

There was no proper advice on how much to order. The speed of serving the food should allow you to cancel the dishes that have not yet been served.
There was a lady in black who was very impatient for replies.
