| - A few months ago I had written a review for this place. I had mentioned it was "irrelevant and forgettable" well, it seems i have remembered to try this place one more time.
It was a last minute dinner option, as I was too tired to cook, or do anything for that matter, so I decided to give this place another try. All I was craving was beef and broccoli, chow mein, and egg drop soup. Here's how it went:
Beef and broccoli: broccoli had a nice bite, not too soggy, not too crunchy. Beef had nice taste and not as chewy as last time. Sauce was tasty, but overall the dish was a bit bland as it could've used a pinch or ten of salt.
Chicken chow mein: noodles were a bit over cooked and almost turned to mush once I began to chew. I was a bit confused with the noodles as I noticed it was a mix of fettuccine noodles and chow mein noodles. The chicken pieces were not as prevalent in this dish, but still had a good taste. The overall flavor was good, but again missed the mark when it came down to seasoning as it was a bit too bland.
Egg drop soup: soup was nice and hot as it should be. It had an even egg:soup ratio, as opposed to others that I've had either had too much egg or not enough. This was perfect. This is probably the only dish that was on point with the seasoning. The soup was delicious.
All in all, I would score this restaurant a 3.5 this time. Although the dishes lacked flavor, I had no real issue with this as I saw it as something a little soy sauce couldn't fix. The shining star was definitely the egg drop soup followed by the beef and broccoli. Higher points could've been scored had it not been for the over cooked noodles and lack of seasoning. I was quite surprised with the delivery time as well, as it took less than 20 minutes to arrive. I might order again from Dragon Wok in hopes that these inconsistencies are fixed in the future.
