Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

First visit to Super Dragon last night and was very pleased. The service is very good and friendly and the place is clean. It was rather noisy, but that didn't last too long. Everything we ordered came out quickly, fresh and hot. The won ton soup actually had good flavor, unlike most places where the broth is tasteless. I am not a huge Chinese food fan in general and I prefer American Chinese food, so this place lives up to my expectations. Their sweet and sour sauce is excellent. It's thick and sweet and clings to the food, shrimp in our case, and It's not runny like some other places. Overall a pleasant experience with good food. We will be back.

As many of you know, it ain't easy getting good Chinese food in Phoenix. Super Dragon is really one of the only places that does it right for my taste. The employees are very friendly and provide excellent service. The food is always good, and it comes out fast. I haven't ordered take-out from them, but I have some friends who have and they say it's quick and efficient. They have a pretty good list for their inexpensive lunch menu. The dinner offerings are more extensive, and offer a good selection--especially if you like family-style dining.

This place was excellent. Friendly staff and a really nice environment. We'll be going here again!

Pretty good food.. Good service been around for at least 20 yrs family owned I think.. place is a keeper. Try it out.. Beef kinda crispy moo goo gai pan good Beef teriyaki good
(3)Lauren A.
We have tried a lot of Chinese restaurants in town and this is our favorite. Service is super fast and friendly and the selection is decent. The food is good and consistent. My personal favorite is the pork fried rice and the house chicken and my husband goes for the hot and sour soup. The place could use a remodel but it is not in such bad shape yet that it completely tuns me off.
(5)Shigeru Y.
Wanted to bump them up a star since the wonton soup and fried rice are not really bad and the nice lady who took my order on the phone remembered me. However the soup's broth was basically plain chicken stock, and needed soy sauce and pepper to make it tasty. The fried rice had a good amount of seasoning and meat, but it was extremely greasy/oily. I've never had fried rice with this much oil! A copious amount coated the interior of the white takeout container as I moved the rice into a plastic storage container. The pricier version of the soup, the wor wonton, is even less desirable...bland, overcooked veggies and meat, sadly.
(2)Kay T.
Be sure to order the authentic Chinese food here. Meaning not the sweet and sour chicken or lo mein or something! The place seems pretty busy and the staff is pretty quick on their feet. We ordered a bunch of food that I don't even know the name of in English. We just know the names in Chinese and from the Chinese menu. We can give it generic names like roast duck, roast pork belly, beef stew, Chinese broccoli, walnut shrimp, etc. It was good and authentic. Price is not bad. If you know how to do it right, you can come here with a group of people, order an authentic family style meal for a reasonable price. A good way to test it is if it's not on the Panda Express menu, it's probably authentic. Although I love PE's beef and broccoli. I don't know why but I love it.
(5)Jenn Z.
Great food. Friendly service. The best Chinese in America food we've found in Phoenix. Go there. Eat. Be happy. Thank me.
(5)Deni G.
Not what I was expecting Super Dragon has a nice menu selection . On my first visit to Super Dragon for appetizers we ordered fried dumplings and spring rolls. We liked the appetizers they were hot and flavorful. Our main dishes were just average, I ordered the house chicken and my lunch companion had the chicken lo mein. The food was served hot but seemed a little bland. The entrées just didn't have a lot of flavor. I was really disappointed. The meal just wasn't what I was expecting. I want to end this review on a positive note. So lets talk about the customer service at Super Dragon. The service at Super Dragon is great. The servers made sure our drinks were always full and ensured we had everything we needed or wanted.
(3)Jacob S.
Saw this place on my way home from work tried it once and really enjoyed there food. I have been here several times already. Will keeping coming back to try the entire menu. They serve great quality food.
(5)Ciaran M.
Best Chinese food ever. There's a reason they have been in business for 19 years. Everyone is exceptional, and all items on the menu are delicious.
(5)M G.
Disappointed with my first visit. The staff and service was nice and friendly but the food didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered egg rolls, won ton soup, and the house special chow fun. The egg rolls were decent. Nothing bad or exceptional. The won ton soup was a little below average. As noted in someone else's review, the broth is basically chicken stock. Not much depth in flavor. The wontons were a little bit dried out and chewy. I've had much worse, but I've had much better too. The big problem was the chow fun. I ordered it wet but I think the noodles were overcooked and soggy. But even worse, the seafood was very overcooked. The pieces of fish, shrimp, and especially scallops were so rubbery. I was not impressed with the freshness of the seafood or the cooking technique. I managed to eat most of it since I was really hungry, but I should have ordered the beef chow fun. I don't think I'll go back anytime soon. The Chow Fun at South China Restaurant (now Joe's Diner) on 7th ave blows it away. Even the rather mediocre chow fun at Lucky Dragon on Thomas was better than Super Dragon's version.
(2)chida t.
the best chinese food in Phoenix, Even my chinese relatives from LA give it a thumbs up. That speaks volumes about the place. Try the set menu for complete meals, ask for the owner to help translate the chinese descriptions. Also order the Peking duck in advance to really impress your guests. The set menu start with a soup and then multiple entrees ranging from fish shrimp pork chicken n veggies served in typical chinese family style 6-8 people.
(5)Eric L.
Good place overall. The sesame beef (see picture) had nice texture and the sauce had a tangy kick to it. The pork friend rice was excellent overall, they use the cubes of red pork instead of the nondescript strips. Overall quality was a step above the average Chinese take out.
(4)Nick W.
GREAT service. Glasses were never empty! The best I had was the sesame beef. Little bit of a homely place :)
(4)Charmaine T.
I absolutely love Super Dragon and all of the employees! They always greet me with a smile and they know which table I love to sit at and always seat me there if it's available. The food is always excellent and they even know what I get every lunch time when I go there for their lunch specials! I almost always get the hot and sour soup and the Kung Pao chicken, so they've memorized that too! The food is always ready within just a few minutes, fastest service Ever!!! The young man who sets up the tables and keep your water glasses full is an exceptional employee! He is extremely attentive and very sweet! I always go to Super Dragon when my sister and I go out for Chinese Food because it's my favorite restaurant! I love all the people there and the food is amazing! =D
(5)Daniel W.
Very impressive! The building looks like you should just drive by but it's totally worth checking out. We ordered the pan seared wontons and they done very well. The outside had a perfect light crisp with a soft wrapper; great texture. We got the Black Bean Cod and Half Crispy Duck. The cod was cooked nice and soft and was not too salty, like most make the dish. The duck was fantastic. It costs a buck or two more but you can see why it's worth the price. The meat quality and the cook time are top notch. This is not a standard delivery Chinese food, this place brings quality.
(5)Scott S.
Not only was the food good the service was awesome. I played a game with a waitress to see how long I can have my water glass empty and I lost.
(4)Nathan Y.
This is a true treasure in my neighborhood and some of the best Chinese food I have ever had! They have a great dinner combo we normally order, consisting of Mongolian beef, house chicken in garlic sauce, and pork fried rice which comes with soup, a shrimp, a crab puff, and an egg roll. They also have complimentary hot tea. The portions are huge and we always have enough left over for 1-2 more meals. We tried the Cantonese pan fried noodles with chicken and kung poa vegetables, and both were phenomenal. I am warning you now, the pan fried noodles are highly addictive, I couldn't stop eating them and became overly stuffed. The service is excellent, they bring water out immediately and are always on top of refilling your drink and clearing dirty plates. The inside appears clean and the table cloths are changed after each customer. The menu is massive with so many choices of beef, chicken, pork, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. If I were to move away from this place, I would definitely be back often...it is so hard to find great Chinese food and this place is definitely top notch!
(5)David D.
The food is good yet with the service I had to give 4 stars. The best service in Phoenix by far! The servers go out of their way to make sure your taken care . The second you sit down they give you water (everytime I have been here) and they give you complimentary soup :)
(4)Maureen K.
Consistent excellent food. Great service at a very reasonable price. I recommend the house chicken, lemon chicken and the Mongolian beef. The lunch menu is such a great deal. Literally cheaper than fast food and so much better. Have never had a bad meal there.
(4)Brittnee R.
Well shoot. I ran over to this place after a customer of mine went onnn and onnn about this hidden gem. I scoured yelp to find the most raved dish and side and went with the house chicken & crab puffs. First, I need to address the looney tunes Yelper who called the chicken spicy and flavorful and the crab puffs creamy and delicious. You, my dear, must have like three taste buds. The house chicken was blaaaand and the crab puffs were very likely a mess up from the kitchen. There is no way those weren't just fried wantons. Please folks, if you will, picture a pea in your mind. If there was more crab/cream cheese mixture in those wanton wrappers then that pea, then I'm a monkey's uncle- clearly impossible as I'm a chick and human. A less important side note, it was $20 for these two items. Coulda, shoulda, woulda had a filet at work for less. Three stars for good customer service.
(3)Michael F.
My roommate and I live in this part of town, so we decided to eat here this evening. It's definitely a fabulous place to get some Chinese food. The place has a great family atmosphere, and the food is delectable. Portions are huge, so you get a good value for money especially the set lunch option. If you're not in the mood for going out, they also provide a delivery service. I'm giving them 5 stars because I'm a generous reviewer especially if the service is friendly, courteous, and fast.
(5)Sabrina F.
We have been going here for years! Always a smile when u walk in super fast service and great food!! If u have not tried this place you really need to.
(5)Tony K.
Decided to give them another try. Ordered their chicken corn soup . It was a little too salty and too much eggs. We had their pot stickers . The we're cooked properly but they were small and the meat did not have much h flavor. Their roast duck was nice and crunchy . Maybe a little over cooked. Our favorite honey walnut shrimp were small and overcooked . We had the salt and pepper pork chops . These were undercooked.
(3)Peace D.
Great food. Clean and quick. Great Prices. The only thing we did not like was the Egg Foo Young. Mu Shu Grill at 15th ave and Thomas still has the best Egg Foo Young. But we loved everything else here.
(5)Roscoe T.
This is our neighborhood Chinese restaurant and boy are we lucky. The food here is well prepared, hot and reasonably priced. Whether dine in or take out, it's always reliable. Our Christmas tradition is having supper at a Chinese restaurant (as it is for most Jews) and it's always at the Dragon. Warning: Christmas is a zoo here with people spilling out onto Northern waiting to get a table. We generally eat here about twice a month. The Peking duck is outstanding and the Chow Fun is wonderful. The owner is a hoot. The service can be spotty, especially on Christmas but generally very good.
(5)Hugh N.
Locally, it's a yummiest Chinese food with good services. Overall, it's always been good experience Either dine in or out. Try most of the typical entrees on the menu...I like it because it's truly a locally owned and I would like to support that. Eggrolls and chicken lettuce wraps are definitely a must try.
(5)Heidi S.
Love this restaurant!! Clean,amazing service and great food. I've loved everything I've tried, but the house chicken and xo string beans are my favorite! I've been several times and have also placed to go orders and have never been disappointed. If you like Chinese food, this place is a must. You are always greeted immediately and drinks are refilled as soon as your empty. They also give you free hot green tea. Can't say enough about how much I love this place!
(5)Jenpin W.
Chinese food is by far my favorite cuisine and I have traveled around the world trying dishes. I'm giving this a five star purely for the house special crispy pan fried noodles with seafood. They are very generous with their portions with fairly large shrimp, fish, calamari, and best of all a couple pieces of jumbo scallops. If you are a seafood lover this is a must get. The sauce is incredible in its flavor and compliments the crispy noodles. My 10 yr old daughter is not a fan of seafood, but she loves the sauce with the noodles. I've tried several other entres in my numerous visits, and they are consistently very good especially for its location considering it not near any of the little asias in Phoenix. Like others have noted, service is very fast and very friendly and consistent. Pricing is a good value. Again, Crispy pan fried noodles is to die for an excellent choice for $12.00
(5)Danny D.
Good food. Good service. Seems to be my local go to Chinese restaurant.
(3)Kaylie S.
Food is great!! Prompt customer service, a little pushy but they are on it. My glass was never empty and food is prepared perfectly everytime. Never any undercooked mushy rice. The house chicken is crispy and the sauce is not like any other house sauce. The sizzling rice soup is what got me hooked. It's full of flavor, egg drop, pork, shrimp, chicken, water chestnuts, veggies, and the rice.
(4)Ray R.
Fresh ingredients and the chicken was good quality, that's a plus in my book. Everything was prepared well and tasted great. Service was fast and friendly. We will be back!
(4)Stacy M.
Haven't ate here in years due to location but decided to have hubby pick this up for dinner last night. Mu shu pork- amazing! crab Rangoon's- Amazing Chix and broccoli- pretty good broccoli a little mushy Really enjoyed dinner! check it out for some good eats
(4)Shelley P.
We have eaten here many times but this time was extraordinary for some reason. The service was impeccable! The timing of bringing the food was perfect. We had the crab puffs. I never eat crab but this was great! I had the sweet and sour chicken with brown rice. There was enough for two more meals after we took it home. My husband got something with rice, chicken, pork and shrimp combined. I have never reviewed the water before but honestly, it reminded me of the water we used to get right from the spring. I would pay for their water it was so good but it's FREE. This is a great place if you want to have a conversation with someone, it's quiet. NOTE: stellar report from the health department (does anything else matter???)
(5)Dwayne O.
very good chinese food, need to know what to order
(4)Michael S.
Excellent service and very good food. The waiter was helpful in guiding my order. I was eating alone and my initial menu choices would have been too much for a single.
(4)Chris L.
Food was very good.best I have had in the valley so far. I am from the NE and this has been the closest thing to there I have been able to find. We had Peking Duck which was prepared perfectly.Service was prompt and it was very reasonably priced
(4)Mitch A.
Wonderful Chinese food for a very fair value. My favorites Salt & Pepper Shrimp with the shell. But no shrimp head oh well. It's hard to find Chinese food cooked for Chinese and not the american palette. Also Salt & Pepper pork, Sea Bass House seafood on crispy noodles. Black pepper Beef. They also do celebrate Chinese New Year and offer a Special Menu that is also very tasty.
(4)Tony W.
One word: consistent . That is for both food and service. There are other Chinese restaurants with good food, but none with service that can complete with Super Dragon. We have been going there for over 20 years, and this review is 20 years overdue.
(5)Sam S.
Too bad that my first review on Yelp is a negative one :( . I went to Super Dragon today. I ordered Kung Poa chicken, and I could not eat it. The chicken tasted really really bad, as if they re heated it (the taste of left over chicken), also the rice comes on the side in a pot that you scoop from and it will go to other guests after you finish. well who knows if the guest before you did scoop properly with out making a mess, without coughing, sneezing or even laughing over the rice pot while scooping? I was totally unsatisfied.
(1)Marvin A.
Yes, I remember the Chinese food of my childhood. It was the "best of the best". No, I don't expect to ever encounter it again. Super Dragon comes close. The service is great. Things have a tendency to come out of the kitchen too fast. So, give your server, your order in stages. Prices are very reasonable. If you're a Tightwad ... you'll be able to relax here !
(4)Bill J.
This place is outstanding! I've had 'authentic' Chinese a few times since moving to the valley, mostly due to having a Chinese coworker or two that knew where to take us for the good stuff. I have to say, out of all the places I've been, this is probably one of my favorites if not the favorite. The atmosphere is great, very laid back and quiet, looks like a hole-in-the-wall from the outside but the inside is pretty nice. Not fancy, but more of a quiet, dimly-lit (but tastefully so!) place to isolate yourself from the rest of the world for just a little while. The food on our visit was absolutely excellent. I had a bit of everything, shrimp, tofu and beef and they were all fabulous and the best I've had so far. I literally could not get enough and ate more than my fair share of our family style spread. It might be a little out of the way and it doesn't look like much from the outside, but this is a great place. The service was awesome, friendly and very attentive and the food was fantastic. I would definitely go back and hope I can find and excuse to head out that way sometime soon!
(5)Drew P.
Have been coming here for years. "Standard" version of Americanized Chinese food which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Good hot and sour soup, orange chicken (they leave the orange peels in) and house special chicken. Great take out spot
(4)Nunzio Z.
Good Ol' fashioned Chinese food like you are used to. This place doesn't look too impressive on the outside or even the inside for that matter, however, the food is good and you will get what you expect. The service is fast, friendly and attentive. A solid pick if you are in the mood for Chinese.
(4)Rikki L.
Super Dragon is my favorite Chinese restaurant. It was a wonderful surprise after so many disappointing buffets and sit down Chinese restaurants. The egg drop soup, crab puffs, orange chicken, Cantonese noodles, and pork fried rice are my favorite foods to get there - but you can't go wrong here. Everything is delicious! The service is fantastic. You are seated as soon as you walk in the door, and you won't wait more than ten minutes to get your food. They keep your drinks full and will pack up your leftovers for you. Great prices too. I eat here at least once a week.
(5)John S.
This is my neighborhood Chinese Restaurant and a family staple. I personaly like the roasted / peking duck. The Shrimp Lo-Mein is good, Fast, Friendly Service, No MSG. Lunch Specials during the week are awesome too.
(5)Christina P.
This used to be our regular payday Friday lunch spot, so I have a lot of experience with the lunch menu and the service. However, that was when one of our lunch crew was a guy who wouldn't venture out of a 5-mile radius for lunch and was a pretty simple eater. That guy has moved on and our options for lunch have expanded, so it had been a while... today, a few of us decided to pay our respects. Super Dragon is consistent. It was simple food, reasonable lunch special pricing, fairly quick to get in and out and they're willing to split your check at the register. We've had really good experience with service (although, sometimes we feel rushed when we're paying). Our glasses are always full and food orders are delivered quickly. I must confess, Chinese food is not my favorite... so that probably contributes to me only being able to give it 3 stars.
(3)T.Mosa M.
huge portions. steaming hot and super fast too!
(5)Ambrosia M.
A bit upset, Super Dragon ruined it for me about a year ago. After my bf introduced me to this place I can no longer eat shrimp fried rice anywhere else in the valley, compared to SD, everything else is simply gross LOVE SUPER DRAGON AND THE WORKERS
(5)Amy N.
I hate to give a place two stars, but it was entirely based on the food. I didn't really like anything I ordered. The service was fine, and the ambiance was pleasant enough... I had the won ton soup, house fried rice and the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. The won tons were cool in the middle and the soup had frozen veggies in it - I have never seen won ton soup with peas. The house fried rice was flat and greasy. My dinner companion commented that the house fried rice was more like what you find on the east coast, if that means anything to you. The sauce ion the broccoli was twice as salty as they soy sauce. Frankly, I was just really unimpressed. I won't be back. Does anyone know where to get good Chinese in Phoenix, because I sure don't.
(2)Kate T.
Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. I hate reading reviews where the person just complains and complains, but...this is about to be one of those reviews. Things must have changed here in the last few years because I remember ordering from here in high school and the food was good. I went here recently with a friend. She ordered sweet and sour chicken and I ordered beef chow mein. The water didn't even taste right...it had a really weird aftertaste and I avoided it after the first sip. My friend's sweet and sour chicken is what awarded this place the 2 stars I gave it, but my chow mein was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I can't even say that it was beef I was served (sorry to have to make the usual Chinese restaurant reference, but truly, it did not taste or smell like beef at all). When the waitress came by and saw I had not touched 99% of my food, she asked if everything was okay and if I needed a box. I informed her that I was not happy with the way the meat was cooked, and she said, "Hmm" and walked away. Apparently that was a sufficient response, and I didn't hear another word from her afterwards. There are so, so, so many better places to get Chinese from in Phoenix, even in this neighborhood...just don't come here.
(2)Apryl M.
I ordered takeout from this place last night and I was very happy with the service. They said the food would be ready 10 minutes from the time we ordered it and it was there waiting for us (and piping hot) when we walked in barely 10 minutes later. The staff was friendly and efficient. We ordered the pu pu platter for two, orange chicken, orange beef, and kung pao shrimp. It turned out to be two huge bags of food - definitely worth the money. All of it was delicious, though we ordered the kung pao shrimp to be hot/spicy and it wasn't. The only things I wasn't crazy about were the ribs and this weird bread thing that came in tin foil in the pu pu platter. The ribs were very sinewy and fatty and the weird bread slash fish slash cheese triangle (no clue on earth what was in there) was rubbery. I'll definitely come back to try more of their menu, but I probably won't order the pu pu platter again.
(4)aaron a.
This has always been our favorite local Chinese take out - and especially on Chinese New Year, the special menu. OMG its good. We always call for takeout, one or two items and we are so close that by the time I get in the car and drive there, its done...less than five minutes. This place gets very busy, and if you get a chance, try out their Peking Duck, Hong Kong style. Soooo delicious! Another favorite is the snow pea leaves (not on the menu!!! cost extra), and the Seafood Bean Curd Soup. I love the soup here, so many delicious morsels, you can't go wrong with it ever.
(4)Aletheia W.
if you REALLY want good Chinese food here, bring someone who can read/speak Chinese and order off the menu. We usually order from the family meals. I don't really know what to ask for, since my mom does all of our ordering, and my Cantonese is atrocious. However, the staff here is really SO nice and helpful. I do know we usually get a dish with bokchoy and mushrooms, and a tofu/mushroom dish (SO GOOD!!!!), sweet and sour pork, and not sure what else. And the food? You see those 4 stars, right? I prefer the food here to many other Chinese options in the vicinity. Service is fast, the bathroom is pretty clean, the food is tasty. the prices are quite reasonable as well. For a la carte options, I recommend the Singapore noodles (thin rice noodles stir fried with seafood and bbq pork, all in a delicious dry-not saucy yellow curry sauce) or any of the chow funs (flat wide rice noodles stir fried w a variety of meats/veggies). And if you like to be stuck in your little "Panda Express is my favorite Chinese food" world, they do offer Americanized "Chinese" food too.
(4)Clint F.
One of the Better Chinese places I have been to after leaving the Northeast US and starting my travels. Volume for Price is great. Have had well over half there lunch time fare and I would order any of it again. Very Quick Service. Especially helpful at lunch time there when you have to get in get out and go. Just be finishing your cup of soup and they are already bringing your entree to you if not sooner than that. Just happened to go there for lunch again today and did not disappoint as usual. Even added 1 more menu item I had not had before Peppered Steak. It was good. Nothing to write home about but rather tasty and wouldn't try to talk anyone out of ordering it. Definitely a place to stop if you are hungry for Chinese. With the many many poor choices out here in the AZ this one definitely stands out.
(4)Greg R.
I used to live right around the corner from this restaurant, so it was a frequent destination for my wife and myself. We went to their grand opening way back when. Alas now we live too far away, but we make a special trip to dine or take out when we can. (Sorry Kam!) My wife and I lived in the SF Bay area for 14 years so we have made our way around a Chinese menu or two. I try to stay away from the obvious Americanized menu items and take suggestions from our server as to what is fresh and special. I have never been disappointed with their suggestions off the Chinese menu and regular menu. Sometimes you will get lucky and they have fresh mushrooms, clams, crab, whole fish etc...I have a soft spot for anything noodle and their "dry" chow fun is one of my favorites. I have found this place to be one of the better Chinese restaurants in town.
(4)Perry L.
If you want real Chinese food, ask for the Chinese Chinese menu. Otherwise, you will have your typical American Chinese menu. We went there twice we thought it was good. We would recommend the dry scallop, egg white fried rice, it's exceptional!
(4)Hillary C.
I was really skeptical going in to Super Dragon with the mixed reviews. I had another cravin' for Asian to picked up mum and headed over to order take-out. Wow. The place was totally empty, but the hostess - I think her name is Kam - was super friendly and immediately jumped in to help us make our selections. We ordered the moo shu chicken, chicken lo mein, two orders of wonton soup, and crab puffs. Ran us about $25 - not bad at all. I understand the food coming out ridiculously fast - ours was done in under 15 minutes. Kinda skeptical, but it smelled ridiculously good. Crab puffs seemed to lack crab, but were really good anyways. I would order them again, just because they were 8 for under $5. I have had ridiculous difficulty finding a place that serves moo shu in Phoenix - my mum's #1 favorite Chinese thing. Theirs was great! Huge chunks of chicken breast, cabbage that wasn't overcooked or undercooked - and was really flavorful, the crepes were nicely thin and tasty. I didn't like the wonton soup all that much. It may be that I just don't like wonton soup, but there seemed to be frozen veggies in it. Lo mein - decent. Next time, we were recommended to get the crispy noodles - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. I think this is our new Chinese place for when I get another craving for salty yum-ness. I'll definitely be back to try different things, and I shall attempt to remember to take pictures before digging in.
(5)Jeff W.
Great food, great price, very awesome lunch specials. I would have given 5 stars but the service is normally a bit fast and some of the wait staff are a bit pushy!! All in all, great value.
(4)J C.
Honestly this place is pretty good. I'm still looking for that Chinese place that I can't live without. But the food is pretty good and the service isn't annoying and they are pretty attentive. I get take out here all the time and the girl at the counter has her take out skills down cold. She ALWAYS has my order ready when I get there and I SWEAR my order has NEVER been wrong. I'm so happy about this I tell everyone and tip her a little extra because the effort really goes a long way with me. So thank you for that. I would love this place a little more if they had delivery.

Good little neighborhood restaurant, we frequent it often for takeout and eat there every Christmas with my Jewish family. A Sunnyslope treasure!

I don't do sit down chinese food very much, but would highly recommend this one. The service was excellent. The food was very good. Had fried dumplings (great), spring rolls (best i've had in a long while) and orange chicken. My husband, child and I got out of there full, with leftovers, for about $25.

Tasty dishes - I had panfried noodles/shrimp, had vegetables; my husband had orange shrimp, had broccoli, not too spicy. But service was indifferent and menu didn't explain what was in each dish.

Super Dragon's main menu is filled with Americanized Chinese food which I ignored as soon as I saw the single page laminated menu in pure Chinese. The two dishes we ordered were delicious and reminded me of food cooked at my grandma's house in Hong Kong. The Chinese menu is filled mainly with Cantonese food except for the obligatory Peking duck. We ordered the bitter melon stir-fried with 3 kinds of diced eggs (salted duck eggs, preserved eggs and regular eggs). The hints of bitterness nicely balanced the creaminess of the preserved eggs and savoriness of the salted eggs. The weather was cold so we wanted a braised dish served in a hotpot. We ordered the mixed veg with dried shrimp and vermicelli (aka mung bean thread) in hotpot. What came instead of the vermicelli was black moss and the addition of tofu, which was not mentioned. We didn't mind because we really liked the dish esp the black moss which is a more expensive and rare ingredient. The flavors were spot on, well-balanced and very comforting. I'm guessing that food from the Chinese menu is so rarely ordered that the kitchen confused what I ordered with another vegetarian dish on that menu. I need to find out the name so that I can order it again. It's a shame that Super Dragon doesn't offer the authentic Chinese menu in English as well.

Super Dragon used to be a dietary staple when I worked in Sunnyslope. It was the closest decent Chinese food at the time and I'd dart down there for a leisurely lunch or take-out, depending on the rhythm of the day. It's definitely a nice, friendly neighborhood joint even when the servers are less than attentive. The food has always been consistent, however the service waxes and wanes with absolutely no rhyme or reason. Despite that, the above average food (lacking the "mystery meat" issue that Kristin M. mentions) has been worth the trip and gamble with the service. There are delicious options on the menu, if you can make yourself avoid the typical fare. Some days the overall food quality-to-service results in a five star experience, and other trips are closer to three. Four stars seems like a good balance.

Before writing this, I had it all planned out in my head. First sentence: "I can't believe I actually went here and am admitting it" but it's obviously a popular spot for yelpers. Crazy. My mom and dad suckered me into meeting them here and it's kind of awful and agreeably Americanized Chinese food. My parents just love this place and think it's the best Chinese in town*. Everything tasted totally "off"... even the fried rice, which quizzically had none of the ingredients I'm used to it having. The water tasted dirty and I saw 2 NASCAR t-shirts while I was here (these set my "check engine" light on immediately). *This both confuses and comforts me... I can finally put to rest dreams of my parents reverting back to their free-wheeling, adventurous, hippie personality types they once graced this world with. They are now Bush-loving Republicans, and I am... okay with this. Breathe, Norma.

It is the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to.period. You must try it. It's the best

This is a 2ish-to-3ish-back-to-2ish star kind of joint. Doesn't get more Americanized Chinese than this - your sweet & sour chicken, your Mongolian beef, your walnut prawns....and you realize you're the only one in a packed restaurant at lunchtime actually eating with chopsticks (given upon request). The few times been here for lunch the food has been nominal. Decent but nothing that stayed with me, except that typical post Chinese-lunch craving for a massive nap. Service...well, depends on the server. Some are friendly, some not so much. Prices for the lunch special hover around $5.50 and include egg flower or hot & sour soup, entree, fried rice, and the greasiest egg roll that ever egg rolled. Chinatown this isn't, but Grandma Ethel would love it. Actually make that plural Grandma Ethels. They were all over, rockin the place.

Very standard/typical Chinese fare. I took Christina D.'s reco on the Walnut Prawns and was the belle of my table by recommending them! They disappeared completely, vs. the leftover Mongolian Beef and Cashew Chicken entrees. The menu has a large selection with options ranging from your favorite staples to combinations you have never heard of. The service was 5-stars, very attentive and helpful servers. It probably didn't hurt though that the restaurant was pretty slow when we were there -- which is odd for 7:30pm on a Saturday (made me a bit nervous in fact)! My biggest complaint was the lack of atmosphere. I don't expect a lot, but it was pin-drop silent the entire time--no music, no background noise, just quiet. We could hear conversations at other tables and felt like everyone was listening to us as well. We were there as a part of a birthday night out for a friend, so it wasn't a good fit for our mood expectations. May I suggest some overhead music just to get the mood going? Or takeout.....

Not great but I ate it. I think everything just lacked flavor. Americanized Chinese food for sure, and I'm fine with that but everything needed salt or something, weak in flavor. I tried it but wont be back. I wanted to like it cause I live close by.

I still haven't found my West side Chinese, and now, Silver Dragon is closed. So we pressed further Eastward in search of good Chinese food, and gave Super Dragon a try. Contrary to Bobby Q.s' experience, I actually had really good service, and mediocre / decent food. We found the staff very friendly and attentive. The food came out in a timely manner, and our glasses were often filled. We ordered BBQ pork lo mein and the House's chicken. The texture of the lo mein noodles were just right -- almost al dente. But the sauce was way too salty. The House's chicken was basically fried chicken breast, with a vaguely Chinese-spiced brown gravy on top. The menu claimed the sauce was spicy and garlicky. It was neither. I do like that they serve passion fruit China Mist iced tea there. I probably drank a gallon of it during the course of the meal. Though, that might've had something to do with that salty lo mein too. I am not ready to give up on Super Dragon yet . I would like to go back some day and try that duck. Plus, it is the best, Western-most Chinese restaurant I have found so far.

Decent food, but bad service. Our waitress must have had an egg roll up her butt or something that was distracting her. In all my years of dining I don't think I've ever had a server come to the table, ask only one of the two people sitting there what they wanted to drink, then walk away. Seriously - she got my friend's drink order and walked away! WTF? But then, get this, she did it again, when she came back with my friend's drink and asked if we were ready to order, I ordered my drink, and then she turned to my friend, got her order, and then turned to walk away. I stopped her this time, of course. Oh, and then later, she took my glass to get me a refill, and when she didn't come back for ten minutes, I started looking around for her, and there she was, wandering around the restaurant with it, no idea which table it was from.. The food was decent, like I said, nothing special, but edible, but with that kind of service, I ain't going back.

real chinese food, excellent price

This place is great. I'm Chinese and I'm very picky about my food. When I want take out, I come here. Granted, I cheat a little because I order things that are not on the menu sometimes but I've never been unhappy eating in or taking out. I even brought my parents and they liked it. It's close and authentic. The staff is friendly, the food is consistent. It is lacking in atmosphere but I'll give that up for consistently good food. If you order sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, or similarly Americanized dishes, read a different review. I've never ordered those kinds of dishes here so I can't speak for them.

The food was excellent the service is top notch and is really worth the drive I highly recommend this place
(5)Kary K.
A friend recommend this place. I got take out with he and his wife once. And take out for me and my daughter another time. Easy to talk to over the phone, great customer service - very nice, prices are alright, And portion sizes are big. The place is a little outdated, but clean and well maintained. -the Lemon Chicken, and Walnut Prawns are delicious!

I think Super Dragon has some of the best American Chinese food in Phoenix. I have been going here for a while and it always tastes great. The building is a little old but they do try to give it a more classy feel at night with tablecloths and linen napkins. If you go here you will most likely enjoy any dish you pick.

The best in AZ! Great staff, never a turn around! They remember you! And they have the best crab puffs with cream cheese and my favorite, although I've tried several and NEVER a bad meal is: House Chicken, little but spicy but perfect breast chicken. Hard to find that in Asian places. All my love, all my referrals! Wonton Lady!

Recently ordered an embarrassingly large amount of take out from Super Dragon and couldn't be happier. When I called it in they surprised me by stating that it'd be ready in ten minutes. (again, I ordered a LOT of food) So when I skeptically walked in barely 10 minutes later to find it sitting on the counter - they had me sold. Both the orange beef and orange chicken were delightful, only note - I recommend ordering them both extra spicy, but that's me. The kung pao shrimp could have used a few more shrimp, but name a place where that isn't true. All in all, fantastic take out experience - I will definitely order here again.

Staff was friendly and fast. I tried the orange chicken, kung pao veggies and some crab puffs. Everything was pretty good overall. I think Chinese rest. are the only places that can get away with such old furniture.
(4)Kera E.
Delicious! Even though they are a little pricey they are well worth it. The staff is also very sweet! Get the sweet and sour chicken and the pork fried rice!
(5)Kevin A.
Had a wonderful dinner and excellent service. Mu shu veggie was delightful as was the orange chicken and fried rice. My daughter is 9 and was treated like royalty. Great local place as well. We found this place on yelp
