It's probably the best Chinese in town. It's hard to get good Chinese food down here in Florida for some reason. Not really sure why. Just saw a review from a guy giving it 1 star though, Erik, with pictures of perfectly good chicken. That brown stuff is just cooked blood vessels and stuff, perfectly fine to eat and awfully tender. Kids taking orders is how most Chinese restaurants are, if you don't like it then don't get Chinese food.

We have had good experiences ordering from China Dragon. First, I’ll say this – any restaurant that can thrive in that location has to have good food! Yes, there CAN be a Chinese restaurant in the back corner of that strip parking lot. Our crew is pretty varied – from broccoli chicken fans to folks who like Hunan/Szechuan dishes with hot oil on the side. Everyone enjoyed their food. Fresh, quality ingredients. I am not a huge hot and sour soup fan – but my brother loves it and is always orders it when we get Chinese. I’d have to say China Dragon has some of the best hot and sour soup I have had, and my bro agreed it was very good.

Disappointed ?, used to be friends with family that used to run the place she & her husband were so friendly and her sweet son Chris.Not so with these people who run it now.Not personable,you are treated like a walking $?$.No manners,Child answers the phone many times, doesn't understand what you need if it's outside the box. Mom only then gets on the phone,I asked if they could just add a little snow peas to my bourbon chicken while in the wok she said, "no snowpea, just chicken. I give you side 12 dolla". I said ,"12 dollars"?! No,I don't mind paying extra of course but I don't want a whole carton,I only need like a handful tossed in with my chicken", she said, "no bourbon chicken come only, no snowpea". Ugh? so I said so you won't make it for me, how I would like it? She simply said, "No"."No, I said ok ,? thanks, Bye".*2 days later*My boyfriend called from same phone, they didn't answer.(We just drove by and saw they were opened too?) boyfriend called again an hour later,he said someone picked up after 5 rings , and it was very awkward conversation,"Hello", Um is this China Dragon"..helloo"..response- "yes"... uncomfortable pause.."Um, are you open"? And the pause ended it was the young boy , He said, "no were closed" then click. It was a half hour until their closing time and no it wasn't the holiday. So I am done with this place,plenty other places to spend our ?. ???

Very friendly fr the moment you walk in. Food is tasty. And for the 1 review that stated that it was close to Massachusetts you are correct. 1 of the main reason I tried this place out. And now I have found my Chinese restaurant to go to.This whole family does an amazing job.

I ordered $50 worth of food today. The crab rangoons were hard and there wasn't any crab inside. The chicken lo mein was okay, but the chicken was fried (horrible) so I had to pick it out and just have the lo mein part. The egg rolls were ok. The sweet & sour chicken was awful, but the rice was ok. All in all, I was very disappointed. I won't be ordering from here again.Parking: Publix parking lot. Parking was good on Christmas day.

This place will disappoint you the first time. Children take orders from customers. All the food is spoiled and impossible to eat. $50 to nothing. The kitchen is terribly dirty 12/22/23

Thank God I didn't go by these reviews. Some of these reviews are just out right nasty. Instead of contacting the business to fix an issue they are quick to bury a business. The food isn't as bad as what these reviews say. Is it the best I've had? No. Is it the worst? Absolutely not. It kind of reminds me of the food I get when I visit Massachusetts. I've ordered all over this area and most of these other places are just horrible. If your expecting crem de la crem from take out maybe its you that is the problem. I eat here all the time and have had no issues. It may be your thing.

They have the best Chinese food in Deland. I love the Egg Foo Yung with white rice. My husband loves the beef lo mein. Free egg roll comes with the lunch special.
Food is so good. Better than any other Chinese food in Deland and Deltona.

Have been ordering from this restaurant for years. Food is better than other restaurants in the area. Not the Chinese I was used to in Philly but some of the better in Deland.

My husband and I ordered from here, based on the reviews. I bought egg drop and wonton soups. My entree was egg foo young. Now I love me some egg foo young. Everything from the soups and the entree was tasteless. If that wasn't bad enough, a tip and a $1convience fee was automatically added to the bill. We were sorely disappointed and won't be going back.

I tried the pork fried rice and chicken chow mein. The fried rice was the worst I have ever had. Overcooked, and not particularly tasty. The chow mein did not really have chow mein noodles, more like whatever noodles they had lying around. Mostly the kind they serve you with duck sauce. It too was not particularly tasty. It is convenient for me, but even so I won't be going back there. Pity. I don't like giving bad reviews to hard working people.
