Dragon’s Arch is the kind of spot that turns “Where should we eat?” into an automatic answer. My boyfriend and I swear by this place. It sits perfectly in downtown Walnut Creek, a quick stroll from Barnes & Noble and the movie theater, so our favorite date night looks like this: park once, browse some books, wander over to Dragon’s Arch, then walk to the theater.
The food? Hands down, no contest, the best Chinese we have ever had. The chicken fried rice and veggie chow mein are non-negotiables on our table, and we rotate through our favorite entrees like sweet-and-sour chicken, beef and broccoli, black bean chicken, even the mango chicken when we are feeling tropical. Everything arrives piping hot in under twenty minutes, even when the dining room is buzzing, because their service team runs a tight ship without ever making you feel rushed.
If you can swing a midday visit, the lunch special is the steal. About thirteen bucks gets you soup to start, an entrée, rice (steamed or fried), plus a salad or egg roll. The portions are generous enough to split or to box up for round two later. Quality clearly tops their priority list, and it shows in every bite and every interaction.
In short, Dragon’s Arch isn’t just dinner, it’s become the anchor of our downtown adventures and I can't recommend this place enough!

I used to live in Walnut Creek in 2013..That's when I discovered it. Delicious food! Very very clean and the service staff is very polite and caring!! I don't live in WC anymore but whenever I go, I try to eat there. My favorite Chinese restaurant in the entire bay area!

Dragon Arch restaurant is a hidden gem in the neighborhood, with consistently delicious food and outstanding service. Every time I go there, the chef, the service, and the Owner never ceased to amaze me. Every bite is a flavor explosion. One's can definitely say the chef clearly has a passion for fresh, quality ingredients. The staff and owner are incredibly attentive and make you feel right at home. The food there is not only cook to perfection but is always the highlight of the day. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable Chinese dining experience in the Walnut Creek area.

Located on the 'restaurant row' section of Locust Street, we came here for lunch on a Monday after SB Sunday. Arriving right as they opened, it kind of took us by surprise as to how nice the interior decor is. Contemporary and upscale, very nice. Our server was excellent, friendly and helpful throughout our meal. Their lunch specials menu is quite extensive. It was really difficult to decide on what to have. We opted for the Hunan beef (requested extra spicy), and the General Tso's chicken. The lunch special gives you soup of the day (ours was hot/sour soup), fried rice, and we also had the spring roll. You get a lot of food for the price! Everything was excellent, and especially the 'crisp' of both the Hunan beef and the General Tso's chicken. Excellent on all parts. Flavors and spiciness were spot on. All ingredients were fresh and of good quality. All in all, a very good lunch at a very good price. This isn't PaEx so just know the food and dining experience is worth the extra bucks.

The staff was really nice and took the time to explain every item we had questions about. They made alterations to several dishes for dietary restrictions and were very accommodating. Prices were very reasonable, especially for down tow Walnut Creek!

Popped in for a quick bite in Walnut Creek. Greeted with charming and attentive service at Dragon's Pond. A very clean restaurant. Food came quickly, but I didn't feel rushed as a customer. Delish! Comes with a classic fortune cookie treat!
