| - BEWARE!!! MISREPRESENTATION and COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL! GO TO GOLDEN DRAGON. Amazing food, service and space to enjoy the experience. We've all been going there for 20 years! We make a large mistake, in DRAGON EXPRESS...
There are so many things that happened, the best way is to list the differences and go from there.
1) First Impressions are everything. The pictures on the windows clearly misrepresented how you order. Many pictures illustrating meal combos, but when at the counter, it was by the entree. Further more, it was priced excessively--for the food was barely warm when we received in a plate.
2) Teriyaki Chicken was fried by Japanese coating. It looks like popcorn chicken , but it's like over cooked, dry and DANGEROUS for anyone with a gluten allergy any other medical condition. This was NOT the traditional dish that everyone has seen. Only referenced in a take out menu...
3)The other entree that we ordered was not hot and did not taste as other similar dishes. It's like the just used different sauce to cover the items.
4) I was severely ill after only eating 2 minor pieces of chicken coating in the mysterious "crunch". As my husband has a very accurate palate, even he trouble figuring out why the placed teriyaki sauce on this type of chicken.
5) The person that took our order ASSUMED that I WANTED a soda that same MASSIVE size as my husband. We didn't even finish the first glass, making free refills an invisible "+". In addition they had a fridge for juices and other drinks. There's no where to wait without feeling uncomfortalbe, like someone is joining you or watching you eat.
6) This environment was very crowded. You can see why they have increased prices. They have to pay for the two tvs, paint, decor and new tables. The aluminium settings outside were not acceptable given the heat. There wasn't a fan, but there again, with a few customers, thought we didn't need it. inside there was a large family, which is a good thing, but they were rather loud. They were seated in the center of the room, under a television. Combine boisterous family of all ages and televisions, it felt extremely overcrowded
7) WATCHOUT! Tip included.. Since we sat close to the kitchen, the only place that seemed relatively quiet, they barely took one step from the kitchen. The attendant was kind and very accommodating, but with ll the confusion, we nearly walked out.
A definite live and learn moment... definitely don't feel pressured to order, while you are looking and figuring out the menu. If they are going to post pictures, that doesn't align with prices. I wouldn't even pay half for this. It was very rude to add a "tip" for a fast food/sit down place. They aren't even close to a REAL chinese restaurant.
