Spicy Dragon

Authentic Sichuan chinese food that is not too spicy!

The food in this place is fantastic! All the Sichuan food tastes very authentic, with the right amount of numbing flavor. The dishes all look great when served, and is one of the few places where the actual dishes look like the photos in the menu.

The menu is also very large, with a HUGE variety of options to choose from, including both Hunan and Sichuan food.

The food all use real ingredients, such as the fish fillet which tastes solid and thick. The best dish is the dry pots, which are served over a fire. We especially like the Cauliflower dry pot, and order it everytime we go there. The dry pot over the fire, combined with numbing flavor, makes the dish very addictive.

The serve staff are all very friendly. They actually ask you about how the food tastes at the end of the meal. That alone is a huge advantage compared to the service you typically see in chinese restaurants. The staff here actually care about customer experience, and will help you if there is anything you need.

The inside of the place is OK clean. It's not the most cleanest place, but it's not bad. There is sometimes a fly, but you can see they installed fly UV lights so it's clear they made an effort to fix that issue. The utensils and plates are also always washed very clean with no stain.

The price is very reasonable, given the high quality of the dishes they give you. Even an entire fish costs only around $30, which is very reasonable. Also, the portions are very big, so even the leftover to-go boxes are enough for a 2nd meal at home.

Overall, this place is fantastic! We go there almost once every weekend, sometimes even twice. Will definitely go back again! Full stars

My son took me, his sister, and his niece to lunch last week and we have been trying to find a good Chinese place. We decided to try Spicy Dragon and checking it out on Yelp.

We were greeted and seated right away. Our Oder was taken and we tried the Mongolian beef, fire orange chicken, general Cho's chicken, & chicken chow mien. The chow mien was really good. We forgot to take a photo of it before everyone put. Some on their plates. We all agreed it was the best we've had. The rest of the food was good as well. We will definitely be back. Only downside is their appetizer menu is kind of limited.

Food was great! 5/5 The shrimp fried rice tasted very fresh and came out pretty quick. The chow mein had good amount of crunchy veggies and a flavorful sauce. The salt and pepper chicken was fried to perfection in a light and airy batter that resembled tempura. We were so hungry we forgot to take a pic before eating so the pictures are after we had our fill and the aftermath.

Service 2/5 for the initial treatment as we walked in. We arrived an hour before closing and told to wait at the front while the server said he will go ask the chef if it were okay. He came back a short while later and said the chef gave the okay for us order. About 20 minutes later, a party of 3 arrived and they were immediately seated without the server having to ask the chef if they could order. The only difference between us and them is that they were Asian and we are African-American.

Edit:// As I was about to post this, a different server came up and said "I know it was edgy when you guys first walked in. It's just that our regular menu closes at 9:30pm and our skewer menu is open until 10:30pm". My thought to that is this: the original server who asked the chef if it were okay for us to order had no idea if we were ordering the regular menu or skewers. He saw us walk in and immediately said he had to go ask if it were okay.

Overall, I had a great dinner with my husband as we were celebrating our anniversary and in a cheery mood.

A friend invited me to eat there the other day. I ate there about a month ago and thought the food was okay but It was kind of warm inside ( like they were too cheap to turn on the a/c). I called them to inquire about their air conditioner and was told it wasn't fixed yet. I relayed my findings to my friend. She called them and was told that they have an air conditioner. Hmm.
We ended up going and it felt over 80 degrees in there. I look at the wait staff and 3 of them are fanning themselves with menus. It was over 110 degrees outside that day. I give the food 4 out of 10 stars and the ambience 0 out of 10.
Turns out both calls were right. The central a/c didn't feel like it was working but they had a POS portable unit on top of a cooler. Looks like it exhausted back into the room.

Numbingly spicy and flavorful. A little on the oily/salty side.

Mapo tofu had tons of flavor and saucy. The eggplant and green beans dish was good, but salty and oily. The chicken wings fried with like a pound of chilly peppers and peppercorn was the highlight. It was numbing, garlicky and spicy. A little too much dried chilli and not enough chicken for an expensive dish. The assortment of skewers were on the dry side and over seasoned for our taste. Orange chicken was just alright. Reminded me of the ones from Costco's frozen aisle. And, the waiters weren't the friendliest but were easy to flag down. They definitely favor Mandarin speaking people. I have to say though, it's one of the better szechuan restaurants in town. It could use some improvements but it's minor. Will visit again in the future.

Excellent flavors and great service.
No wine selection is available for now, and it gets a little smokey in the dining room due to the sizzling platters. But we still enjoyed it very much.
Many thanks.

This was my second time coming to Spicy Dragon and I was hoping it would be better, but I was still underwhelmed.

My family ordered the Numbing Spicy Beef Combo, Pork Intestine with Pickled Vegetables, Pork Kidney with Hunan Spicy Sauce, and Cauliflower with Mixed Chillies.

I ordered the Pork Kidney in the past and the cook on the kidneys was definitely better than the first, however the pieces were still very thin and small and they packed on the chilis, so you barely got any kidney.

The same was true for the Pork Intestines and Cauliflower where I felt there were more peppers than actual meat.

My favorite dish was definitely the Numbing Spicy Beef. I thought the flavor was very good and tasted like other Szechuan restaurants I've been to.

Although the service has always been good, I probably wouldn't return here.

Found this place quite by accident and as our third try today. The first two places we stopped ended up being carry out only. Glad we kept trying! We had the veggie spring rolls, veggie fried rice, and veggie chow mein. All were flavorful.

I really liked the fried rice. The egg was cooked just right for my liking - a little brown on the edges. It wasn't seasoned with soy sauce, but the rice was still white with just the perfect amount of salt.

The chow mein was tasty - the veggies fresh and not overcooked and lots of them!

The spring rolls were the temperature of molten lava when they got to our table, so we had to fight every urge not to grab them and dig in, but instead let them cool to an edible temperature. They were delicious as well. We were hoping for hot mustard, but they don't have it. They do however have a delicious sweet/sour sauce that we both enjoyed.

The restaurant was fine - kind of felt like it needed a deep clean and the music was definitely not to our taste, but the food was, so there you go!

The food was absolutely bomb, the only thing about it that was mediocre was the water, and yet the waiters still went out of their way to replace our water. The restaurant had a chill and calm lighting that was nostalgic. The only thing i would change would be how much salt they added. But still it was perfect.

We ordered take out and were pleasantly satisfied with our meal. The food tasted absolutely delicious with a ton of spices and flavor. Portions were packed to the brim of the container. Definitely would say prices are reasonable. Vegetable chow mein had a nice Smokey flavor and vegetable textures were cooked to perfection. The crispy beef entree is tasty too. You can tell they each had their own "sauce" so every dish has a distinct taste Would really like to come back and try their other options. The menu is robust so there's something for everyone! Overall would totally recommend giving this place a try.
