I'll start by saying I'm no Chinese food critic, but this was absolutely the worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life. Everything I had was extremely bland, the chicken was chewy, and the fried rice was the sorriest excuse for "fried rice" I have ever seen. This restaurant makes Panda Express taste like Michelin starred Chinese cuisine. Absolutely would not recommend. I wouldn't even feed this to my dog.

It's okay, Chicken Loman was just a little too oily. The taste and seasonings were on point, but couldn't get past the oil.

Service and food is great! Tasty cocktails too! Super fan of the Crispy Chicken Rolls! Highly recommend!

Nice server - really added to the nicely decorated restaurant. We ordered two apps which were amazing spring rolls and dumplings. I had a colada which looked more like a lemon drop martini so I was confused. They have great beer selection on tap - we enjoyed our main dishes too of tempura prawns and kung po chicken. We have had take out from here before also and we enjoyed that also

I will be completely honest, I didn't like Fat Dragon the first time I had it. I thought it was expensive and mid at best. For some reason a few nights ago I had a hankering for some Chinese food and Fat Dragon was close by but closing in a hour which is never a good sign for getting food but I placed a order anyway cause options were slim. I got the garlic chicken (spicy), shrimp spring rolls, and the chili oil wonton ($37 ). The first thing I tried was the chili oil wontons.... I didn't have an expectation for this so I was very surprised when I ate these and it was the best thing I put in my mouth in a while. I almost turned around to go get another order they were so good. Everything went together so well. The spring rolls were good but whatever the dipping sauce was made them great. Lastly the garlic chicken, this should be the base for any Chinese restaurant making chicken and broccoli. Chicken perfectly cooked, broccoli perfectly cooked, sauce gave great balance without being overpowering. Needless to say, I ate everything no leftovers. I was real fat for that, but it was so worth it. I will be returning very soon.

We had to wait 40 minutes for a table but it was a beautiful night so we didn't mind. We were seated in the small upper room with two large groups around us. The noise level was deafening and really detracted from our visit. The food and service were excellent but honestly we couldn't wait to get out of there due to the competing voices of two large groups. Not anyone's fault just a function of a small room with a normal height ceiling. Can't wait for the leftovers!!

Ordered takeout for pickup - Garlic Chicken, Chili Dumplings, and Sauteed Bok Choy... when I got home only received the garlic chicken and a wonton soup that I didn't order... called the resturant to resolve issue, message goes to voice mail, no call back. The take out software allows you to report an issue, but this all it does.. again no call back. Really frustrating after a very long day working to not get the food your craving and out some money.

Food was fantastic! Good portion size for price. Place was packed when we were there, yet we still were able to order from the bar (both food & drinks) without waiting for a table.

Service was good but the food lacked a good amount of flavor. I expected more from a takeout Chinese dish. The spring rolls we got were probably cooked in oil that wasn’t hot enough, so it made them too greasy. ?‍♀️

I stop by to check this restaurant out and the food was good but the service was horrible, the waiter made me feel uncomfortable far as if she doesn't like color people

Delicious food, I had the sesame chicken with a side of fried rice and mushroom appetizer. All the food was excellent, and we had very fast service.

Fat Dragon is just OK.It's not terrible, but it's not great. I've never had Asian food without seasoning until coming here. The entire dinner was missing heat, garlic, and ginger.The service was good, and my party was rather large, so I was impressed by how well our orders were executed. It would have to be anotherwork event for me to return
