| - This was my husband's second visit and my first to Dragon Palace. The first time my husband went he came home excited about having a good Chinese place so close to us (and let me clarify that we are both American born Chinese so we love greasy Chinese food).
I love that right after we sit down they bring the tea, and there's no extra charge like a lot of Chinese restaurants these days. This place does offer a great deal for a LOT of food -- we went with the Family Dinner special which was 11.95 a person for soup, eggroll, fried wontons, pork chow mein, fried rice, and sweet and sour pork. By the time the entrees came around we were totally full and we ended up taking three full cartons of food home. The service was prompt, attentive, and very friendly.
However, I thought that the food here was very difficult to eat. The chow mein especially was really, really salty. I never ever send food back but we had to ask for them to cook it again because it was so salty, and it wasn't much better after that. The sweet and sour pork was deep fried pork with sweet and sour sauce drizzled over it -- not even coated evenly. The meat itself was tough and chewy in texture. The fried rice was decent, nothing extraordinary. My favorite part of the meal was the dessert, they make these fried bananas wrapped in wontons that are coated with honey and they are delicious!
Since my husband had such a positive experience the first time he went, I am willing to give this place another try. Maybe they just hired a new chef (our server said that he was also brand new) so there may be some inconsistencies in the menu.
