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.

Completely unprofessional. Not even the slightest bit of respect even if you order over the phone. I tried ordering online and for some reason my payment wasn't processing so I decided to call, put on hold, spoken with shortly and then was hung up on. When I called back to reorder I was told I can't order over the phone only online- but yet last week I had my order taken via phone. This is weird and he didn't even listen to me and kept interrupting and telling me the website address and there was nothing he can do. What a load of crap. I used to like them but not anymore. I'll take my business else where.

3 stars overall from me. You'll get your typical quality American Chinese food from this late night spot. Cheap and late hours are awfully convenient. Good choice for whenever you're feeling for something easy. The Orange Chicken is the way to go. The last time I dined here however wasn't quite as pleasant. I ordered over the phone and was taken care of quickly, cordially, and efficiently as always. When I got my food though, it was quite the opposite. I ordered the General Tso Chicken. I was met with a chicken substance that you can hardly call chicken (I'll refrain from details as to not gross anybody else). The sauce was the consistency of Silly Putty and seemed to resemble something cooked up in a chemistry lab. It was edible but I didn't feel too confident about it going down. This is more to serve as a warning: I do not recommend the General Tso Chicken, or at least not late at night. This one bad experience would not keep me from going back, but it does get me thinking.

Worst food I've ever eaten, worst customer service hands down I've ever experienced. Manager hung up on me...said "everyone else thinks is good food" so then I came here, and methinks not! 'll be going to their " restaurant " tomorrow to get a full refund. I'm not paying 35.00 for rotten meat and a fake fruit smoothie. We got the: general tsaos chicken...there seems to be a recurring theme of fart stank. I can confirm this, @edward B. our chicken also smelled like farts. :/ There was also weird pink fleshy material in the chicken that I don't think was chicken but I'm not sure, I threw up before I could inspect fully. :( :( :( meh anyway don't go here because you will not be able to eat the food if you have a normally functioning immune system.

Owner and/or cashier is trying to rob me. 10% off of $61.45 is not $5 off-- sure, the cashier had to call owner to recalculate because she doesn't know how to do basic math and deduct 10% off of $61.45, which by the way is $6.145, not $5. She called the owner again (by which she tells me, after I insist to talk to him/her and get his/her name, that she doesn't know the owner's name) to ask for the recalculation... Uh and the owner recalculated the price, but somehow makes a mistake again with a BS total of $55.80 as opposed to the RIGHT math at $55.30. What the heck is wrong with these people. Never coming here again when I know this particular employee is here-- she can't do math for herself, why would you leave her to work for register?!?!?! She was cursing me out in Chinese the whole time. Lady, you're in the wrong here, not me. No wonder this establishment achieves only 3 stars. 12:24am Nov 4, 2014. Went from 1 to 2 stars-- About 1 hour later, the owner comes and finally he tells me that the 10% is deducted before taxes... This could have been easily avoided had the woman (which turned it to be his wife... So how did she not know the owner's aka her husband's name??) at the counter told me that. Not only did he explain this to me, but also explained how I should/should've asked him for any questions... UH I asked to talk to you but your wife would not let me speak to you. HELLO. I'm sorry but your wife needs to stay off the register. Thank god for your husband who said, "We want you to be happy," which i'm sure he only said because he kept eyeing the cops eating at a table behind me - he gained you 1 more star.

I ordered delivery from Grub Hub. First of all, the restaurant charged a $6 delivery fee and quoted me an hour and a half. I worked as a manager of a Chinese restaurant for 5 years and know that Chinese food is the quickest cuisine to execute. I called the restaurant after an hour and they were rude on the phone and told me that it would take an additional hour.....so now we are at 2 hours for fried rice and orange chicken. I cancelled my order with the restaurant, had to call Grub Hub myself,and it is now going to now take 3-5 business days to get my $30 order credited. Poor customer service at best.
(1)David C.
DO NOT ORDER! We ordered this food from Grubhub and the experience was terrible. The food arrived fast and hot but it was disgusting. We ordered Mongolian beef and another chicken entree, as well as two sides. The meat was inedible along with a side but the rice was fine. Nothing special. The meat wasn't actual meat and we bit into pieces that were raw batter smothered in okay sauce. We called to complain the immediately the person on the phone started yelling at us and actually hung up the phone. We called back and they ignored our call after a ring or two. We called a 3rd time and asked for the owner but the person on the phone refused to transfer us to anyone else and wouldn't tell us when the owner or manager would be in. He said to never call again and hung up on us for a 2nd time. We tried calling Grubhub but they couldn't do anything on their end. To bad. DO NOT ORDER!
(1)Jatie M.
Nasty just gross! This isn't what it sounds like. Egg roll worse then the Panda Express egg rolls. Food is mushy. Eww
(1)Edward B.
We got a delivery for the Mongolian beef and general tso. We opened up the containers and it smelled like farts. I thought I was the only one that thought that until my whole household confirmed. There were more onions than beef in the Mongolian beef and I really can't say that we got any beef....just fat swimming in brown gravy. The general tso breading is not breading....I have been to cheap crappier hole in the walls than this and had better general tso. I called to complain and the manager started yelling at me saying that I was wrong and that I should shut up. After I called back because the the person hung up on me, I asked him nicely to stop yelling at me. He refused to stop yelling and told me I dont know anything and that I should just order somewhere else. Apparently, I am not the only person that the manager has yelled at over the phone...just read the other reviews. How does a business still exist when they have bad food and even worse customer service? I still plan on getting a hold of the order because the 5 dollars off my next grub hub order is not acceptable for enduring the horrible business (and probably food poisoning later) that is called great dragon.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT !!Worst costumer service EVER! We placed a large order at work and 2 and half hours later our food hasn't arrive yet. We called the place and asked for the status on our order. The guy responded"I forgot to put your order in." That's ridiculous !!! Considering we usually order from this restaurant all the time because of its late night business hours. We expected better service than this . Never again will we order from this place!!! Horrible!!!
(1)Kevin G.
I ordered food from this restaurant. Half an hour later, they called and said they were out of something that I had ordered...no big deal. An HOUR after that, they called and said it would be another 45 minutes because I live so far away? Just puttin it out there...I cancelled my order and will not repeat the mistake.
(1)Rebeca R.
This place is just ok. Pretty standard Chinese restaurant. Everything I have tried is subpar. We go when we don't have too much money to spend we get lunch specials. I would not recommend it as a nice place to eat.
(3)Freddy F.
2 Stars for quality of food. NO STARS for delivery service! 2 hours later still nothing. This is the 2nd time this happens. I'm sure there are other good Chinese spots that care. Bye bye not so Great Dragon!
(2)flower c.
Food isn't great. Veggies and sauce are slimy, the smell isn't nice as well.. Meat wasn't good as well. It's disappointing considering the price we paid. And they added a $4 fee right at the end. Not cool.
(2)Candi D.
One of my favorite late night place and favorite Chinese restaurant. Here is what to order: Mango Shake Potstickers Crab Rangoon BBQ Pork - cooked well Done String beans with Rice. Enjoy! Excellent delivery always quick and food steaming hot!!!!!
(5)Christine M.
We have never dined inside the restaurant...we always have our food delivered. Very good food and reasonable pricing. We order from them at least twice a month.
(3)Walter Alan H.
Nothing special but good american Chinese food after 10pm. Got the General Tso's Chicken. It was good. Also had some of the Orange Chicken and Fried rice. Egg rolls are pretty standard. This is like the 5th place I've tried in the area. Golden Chef is the best so far. But they close at 9 or something. There are a few shady reviews of this place too so... Idk, I didn't read them before we ordered but our experience was alright by all accounts.
(4)Shauna D.
Decent/not great food... But my major problem is the service/operations. They'd rather pinch pennies than accommodate you to maintain any type of loyalty from customers. They offer 10% off your first online order, but then the online order program they use doesn't work, so I called and mentioned their online issue and referenced the discount, to which the girl on the phone claimed they no longer offered. Funny, because it's clearly all over your website AND I watched the discount be applied on my online order prior to the website crashing and my order failing. It had nothing to do with them not offering the 10% off anymore, yet she pretty much said I was lying. So I placed my order via phone and came in with the debit card that I planned to use, had their website worked for the online order that their website encourages. There is no $ minimum for online CC payments, and I only placed my order by phone because their online order system was not working, and sure enough when I get there to pay, oh, they have a CC purchase minimum. I was only short of their requirement by less than $2.00. And mind you it's their website that failed, otherwise I would have paid online with my card just fine. I explained that I don't have cash and that's why I preferred online payment. They wouldn't budge to overlook it, and made me increase my order or pay cash. They don't have an ATM. I can now either order something I don't even want, or leave my already waiting order to go find an ATM. Thanks. Great service. Good for you, you cornered me into ordering something extra that I don't even want in order to use my card that was supposed to be accepted just fine had your website functioned properly. Was that $5 Crab Rangoon worth me never ordering from you again??

After waiting exactly an hour and 20 minutes for our order (Mongolian beef dinner special, an orange chicken dinner special and an extra order of egg rolls) we called to check on when our order would be arriving. Not only was the gentleman (using that word loosely here) extremely rude to my husband but he interrupted him every 5 seconds and then abruptly informed us that our order was canceled and we could order from some where else and then hung up on my husband. When we tried to call back from my husband's cell the call was sent straight to voice mail after the first ring. When I called from my cell phone the call was picked up by the 3rd ring. When I explained why I was calling to check on our order, this same guy again gets an attitude, TELLS me my order was canceled and then hangs up on me. Well sir just so you know I DID in fact order from somewhere else and not only did my order get here in under an hour but I also saved $10 on the same exact order from a real gentleman who was extremely courteous - THANK YOU EAT FIRST ON BELMONT AND KIMBALL! I will never waste my time on LAME Dragon ever again!
(1)Cassie C.
The plus side? Great dragon is open late and delivers. The portions are generous and the food is on point most of the time. The down side? the minimum delivery fee is between 20-25 dollars depending on the day. Sometimes the driver forgets to bring me an item but is always willing to bring me back whatever is missing.
(3)M P.
Ordered from here last night....Stomach still turning. Yuck!
(1)Eric P.
since i live right up the street, i really enjoy dropping by here to order take out or delivery. i don't live far (about 4-5 blocks) but the delivery is still pretty fast in relation (i remember i got my food steaming hot in about 15 minutes). the food is fresh and made out of good ingredients. i generally order a combo but if i'm feeling saucy i pick up some crab rangoon or a couple rolls as well. great service and good food. the delivery guy is really courteous.
(4)John S.
Better than fast wok. Mediocre at best. They do have good lo mein and it's pretty cheap.
(3)Jessica S.
I have to admit that this place gets an extra star for delivering to us in Logan Square (somehow, all deliveries seem to stop W of Western, N of Fullerton, and S of Belmont) - and fast! We took a chance on a mailer left on our door for cheap Chinese food (when we want gourmet Chinese, we go to Friendship) since no one had yelped it yet. Great Dragon did not disappoint! The food was surprisingly good. We got 2 dishes, egg rolls, and soup for $20 with our coupon. The portions were so big that we have leftovers for at least two more meals (1 large is big enough for 2)! I don't know what the place looks like but the menu was lengthy and they offer to make anything you want. We asked for ours without MSG. If you live in Logan Square or Avondale - give it a try!
(4)Tina M.
Food was pretty standard. I was hoping for better food. The orange chicken is like pillows because there is sooo much breading on it. The egg rolls and crab Rangoon taste like they have been sitting in oil all day. I was a bit disappointed.
(3)Genefe D.
This place is really close to my apartment and I really like this place. It's a go to when I don't want to cook or if I don't know what to eat. Everything we've ordered from this place has been pretty yummy. We've ordered the chicken with mushroom and onion, general tso's chicken, kung pao chicken, beef broccoli, egg drop soup, chicken rice soup and we love it all. The best part is they are open late and they deliver. The people are nice, the food is made to order so everything is super, piping hot when I take it out the door and it's so convenient! I'm so glad that I have this place near by.
(4)Jeanette F.
Amazing Shrimp Fried Rice but disgusting environment. Dirty floors that look like they haven't been clean in centuries, the fish tank is dirtier than a sewer.. I feel sorry for that fish it can barely even turn around in that small dirty tank. Someone please call PETA. For god sake CLEAN at least once a week and if you're not just make it a carry out, catering, delivery place because seriously it's gross.
(2)Lane C.
My fiancé and I got terrible food poisoning from this restaurant. We had ordered several times before but this time I ended up in the hospital I was so sick.
(1)Nancy S.
The beef egg fooyoung and the sesame chicken is great, but they took 1 and a half hours to deliver. Too long in my opinion. No food is worth that wait.
(3)Agnes P.
This place is ridiculous! Called for a pick up and they told me over the phone that I need to come in because "they are busy and will not take orders over the phone"....So then I asked for delivery instead and got the same response. I didn't even get to respond back to ask how late they are open and the guy said "ok bye" and hung up. After reading all the terrible reviews maybe it was a sign from above to save my soul from eating the food of such a ratchet place. Instead I got tasty mexican food.
(1)Frida G.
Here's what I ordered: 1 Shrimp Fried Rice $ 11.55 1 Mongolian Beef $ 10.95 1 Shrimp Egg Foo Young $ 7.55 1 Mix 2 Flavors Smoothie $ 4.00 1 Chicken Rice Soup $ 1.95 Total $47.16 I wasn't expecting to pay $50 for my order. But I will have to say that the servings are generous. The Shrimp Fried Rice was extra large and was way more than enough for my family. The taste of the shrimp fried rice was great too and my kids enjoyed their Chicken Rice Soup. The Shrimp Egg Foo Young could use some more flavor. I found myself constantly reaching for the gravy because the pattie itself was lacking flavor. The Mongolian Beef was good, but was on the sweet side. My husband doesn't like his to be sweet, so I don't think he was a fan of that dish at all. Also, they did not include any of those white crispy things w/ the Mongolian Beef. I thought it's standard for all Chinese restaurants to include that w/ the Mongolian Beef? The smoothie was gone before I was able to try it... so I'm assuming it was good =) Anyway, I've had better tasting dishes elsewhere, but this place is a good backup.

Roach INFESTED!!! PLEASE do not go here! This was my local Chinese food restaurant for years ever since moving into the neighborhood...and years before that for my partner who grew up in this area. I even raved to people about this place because the prices were great and the food WAS exceptional. Friday, Oct 11th, I ordered for pickup, 2 Kung Bao Chicken (they call it Bao) for my partner and I. The dinner meal comes with an egg roll as well. We got home and began to eat. My "I'm so glad she is" picky of an eater partner literally picks at her food and is very particular about how she eats. On her second bite of her egg roll, she noticed a ROACH in the Kung Boa, dipped the egg roll to grab it for reassurance and sure enough, it was a COCKROACH. I called the restaurant right away and spoke to the underaged girl they have working the front counter (I'm assuming she is a family member) and she passed me to a gentleman. He barely understood what I was saying and vice versa but her understood ROACH! He then said "Oh....okay, we can send you something else, what would you like?" I screamed out "Excuse me?! I do NOT want ANYTHING from your restaurant ANYMORE! I am coming to get my money back PLUS I'd like an added extra fee since I did pick up the food AND I'm going to return it for my money, call it a delivery fee." He asked me what did I pay and said he would bring it to my home. I was completely okay with that...mind you, we took about two bites of our food when this happened. The delivery guy who came to return our money was standing outside with such an attitude. When I handed him the bag of their food, he tried to grab it from my hand and walk away with it and I pulled it back and asked "Where are you going? Can I please have my money back?" He said he had to check it but my porch light is a 100 watt bulb so what better light to use other than this one so I told him to check it there, in front of me. He opened the bag to inspect the food, checking to see how much of it I had eaten, and I had put the roach in a napkin, a napkin from my home, because, this place is SO cheap, they won't give you utensils or napkins unless you ask for it, so I had to use my own stuff from home. He then proceeded to tell me that the roach was NOT from his place because that is my napkin. I mean no disrespect to people at all when I say this but my house is not roach infested, we would never allow that here, there would be an exterminator in this house if that were the case so NO, the KUNG BOA sauced roach did NOT come from MY own napkin. At this point I was getting very frustrated and being a Restaurant Manager Sanitation License holder, I knew my rights and I told him "Sir, please do not be a fool, we both know your place is infested with roaches and this is from YOUR facility. Just give me my money and take back your disgusting food" He then threw the money at me and walked away without a peep. PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!!!

I placed a simple order for delivery and the woman on the telephone gave me a total of 19$ which made sense given the items chosen, tax, and the delivery charge. 10 minutes later a man called me back saying that my total was actually 35$ and that the women had made a mistake. When I preceded to tell him that it could not be be he screamed the number again and again. Then he told me that was the total for a large sweet and sour chicken even though I ordered a small. The women probably made another mistake and he was trying to blame it on me. Then he gave me a new total for 26$ saying that the delivery charge was $5 even though it says on grubhub 3.50$. When I preceded to explain this to him he said ordered canceled and rudely hung up the phone. I have ordered/eaten here many times and never have had a problem. Its sad to see that the one time there is a mistake this is how they handle it. I honestly do not believe I will eat at this restaurant anymore and its too bad because their food is actually decent.
(1)Stephenie S.
This place is pretty bad. The Ma Po Tofu was just diced silken tofu in brown sauce. The rice that came with the large sized portion was disproportionately small. The lo mein was bland and over cooked. It's not worth it, just make a sandwich. Also, they forgot half my order and refused to deliver it. So I hate them.
(1)Katey W.
Alright, so it satisfied what I was looking for. Chinese, not Thai and open late. We ordered for pick up on Grub Hub. We were quoted 10:45pm. Got there at 10:54. My poor husband was awkwardly waiting in the restaurant. He was not pleased and neither was I. There were some sketchy looking dudes coming through the parking lot behind my parked car and it's not in the best neighborhood. I was about to come inside to find out what was taking so long and to seek better shelter, but then I saw him on his way out at 11:09. Husband says never again and I have to agree.
(2)Prince C.
beef with mushrooms off the chain good as hell
(5)Emily H.
I had such high hopes for this place, being the closest Chinese food joint. The Szechuan Beef was tasteless and oily. The Orange Chicken was weirdly gooey, overly sweet and also oily. The Crab Rangoon has no crab or imitation crab in it, was bitter and strangely stuffed with onions. Even the eggrolls tasted pretty bad. The plus side was that it was cheap and gave huge portions. But huge portions of yuck are still yuck. We got no fortune cookies or forks in our takeout order.
(2)Tomkat g.
Whats the deal with no fortune cookie?.....really?

Me.. I would like to place an order for delivery Man...not taking orders right now, Me...what? its an hour before closing Man...too busy we not taking orders, sorry we not taking orders Can't say I won't order from them ever but it will be last on my list to call for chinese
(1)Grache C.
On their menu it indicated to order online for 10% off, their online ordering is through grubhub which that site in return kind of messed up my order. First off, never got my 10% off from ordering online and when I complained about it, he had every excuse possible how and why it didn't.. Anyways, ordered an appetizer, entree and other side orders, turns out I got a on extra appetizer.. Assuming this was a mistake but turns out this grubhub website charged me for the two appetizers. I was livid.. Spent $40 on barely any food and it tasted horrible.. Never will I order from them again..
(1)Jennie C.
I have been at Great Dragon at least 5 times. I must say each time the food keeps getting worse. Too much oil. They get my order wrong (Broccoli & Carrots with white rice). Not too hard to get this wrong, but they do. The last time was what made me stop going there. I order the same thing each time and they gave me beef fried rice with my order. I don't eat meat!
(2)Marc L.
This is the best hole in the wall Chinese food ever. It's cheap, the portions are good for two meals, and it's good. It tastes like the food is actually cooked, instead of being pulled out of a freezer bag and heated up. Honestly, I order to go from here rather than going to Friendship, because this is only slightly lower quality at half the price.
(4)Andrea S.
Whenever I eat Chinese food I always order from here. Of course I order in, how else do you eat Chinese food ? Pretty much your staple Chinese delivery. Good variety of choices, good spice to the dishes, LARGE portions, good price for the amount of food you get.
(3)Colleen O.
In an effort to curb my apparent over use of the four star feature, I'm giving this joint three stars. :::Flash to tonight::: My boyfriend calls me starving on his way home from work. I have no meat defrosted and happen to have plans with my girlfriends for a late dinner.So I quickly search online for a suitable Chinese delivery service to our new apartment. Great Dragon appears on my screen... decent reviews, close by. Ok, here we go. Placed my order, relatively cheap. Five minutes later my boyfriend calls back grumbling about how long delivery we'll take. I say "Cool it, bro..it will be here in 45min to an hour". But to my surprise my delivery was here in less than a half hour, how awesome is that!? Not only was did I get extra points for ordering food. I had it here at the house before he even got home! The food is yummy. Standard American Chinese food. Portions are plentiful. I even scarfed a bowl of friend rice down myself.

Can you say wow, I just moved to the area and I have been looking for good Chinese food, and I finally found it. The Beef with Garlic Source is so delicious I will definitely order that again. The service is great fast delivery with the food still being HOT yum. In my opinion this is the best Chinese restaurant is Logan Square area.
(5)Night S.
WOW. I cannot believe what I just went through with this place. Honestly unbelievable. I placed an order online, as I have done from these guys in the past and they have always taken a long time to deliver but not more than an hour. Today I placed an order at 5:20pm via the Grubhub.com website or what have you for a small entree, small fried rice and some crab rangoons. $15 minimum to order, order came out to $18 or whatever. 6:30pm I call concerned and the Asian kid looks up the address and says "the order is on its way" after a brief hold. "Ok, I ordered over an hour ago... but ok". I wait another 25 minutes, still nada. 655pm now and I think, screw it, let me call back and see whats going on. I am absolutely STARVING at this point. Same arrogant Asian kid answers. I ask again where my food is, she just tells me its on its way. No apologies, no concern for the customer, no concern for the reputation the restaurant is getting by treating its customers like crap. I told her I was upset that she didn't even seem to care, at least pretend to feel bad that you've made a customer wait so long. All she says is "well, there is probably traffic" So at this point I get pissed and I say "You know what, just cancel the order, screw it" and she just says "ok". THAT'S IT. No apologies, no nothing. I ask why she isnt even sorry and she says "sorry that its taking so long" I ask for the manager and she says "I am the manager" at this point I am absolutely shocked, I mean I can respect a place not wanting to pay an actual manager to take care of their restaurant but this is absurd. So I tell her "You obviously have absolutely no management skills and no idea how to treat a customer, the way youre acting youre most likely the owners daughter" and she says "i am the owners daughter". Need I say more? Clearly this snobbish, arrogant kid has no desire to do what's right for her parents business. This is NOT how you treat a customer. The worst part is, I asked her if she'd be willing to throw in some eggrolls or give me a discount or do something, anything to make up for this whole issue. She said no. She allegedly consulted with her dad and he said no, to just cancel the order. WTF. I wish there was some rule against treating customers like this, to ensure places like this go out of business. Yeah, I am livid and all they had to do was try to do whats right and pretend to be empathetic. Thats it. I will NEVER order from this place again, EVER. Amy, learn some manners.
(1)Melvin M.
Egg foo yung was ok but very bland. I mean very, i could smell the lack of flavor in it.

I ordered from here spur of the moment. It was 1 am, I was too tired to cook, and they were the only place delivering in my area that wasn't a pizzeria (so says grubhub). Not only was my order on time, it was hot, the driver was polite, and the price was right! I ordered the dinner for two... It comes with crab Rangoon, egg rolls, wonton soup, sesame chicken, beef with mixed veggies, and special fried rice. The soup was good, the egg rolls have spicy mustard cooked in (which my bf loved), the Rangoon was fluffy and tasted amazing, the beef was a bit tasteless (yet still moist), the rice was good, but the best part was the chicken. It was fresh, moist, and it melted in your mouth (unlike most places where the sesame chicken tends to be crunchy and over cooked). NOT BAD FOR 1AM CHINESE DELIVERY! I'm planning on ordering all my Chinese food from here now on! You don't wanna skip this place, it's really worth the price and the food is really awesome!

As the night was starting to wind down a bit last night, we decided we needed some late night Chinese food. Saw Nicole C's review and decided to give these guys a shot. Having no menu, we just ordered typical Chinese food and hoped for the best, they had everything. I couldn't individualize the prices of each item but we got: Small Hot 'n Sour Soup "Uh... Orange chicken, but Spicy... with fried rice, and a pop." Order of Crab Rangoons Small Shrimp Egg Foo Young Total: $27.05 + Tip Was told delivery would be an hour; food arrived in 35 mins. +1 Great Dragon. The Hot 'n Sour soup was decent, they had mushrooms in them which was a pleasant surprise from the usual snotty soup with just some eggs and tofu in there. Had some of my buddy's (what I can only assume was) Spicy Chicken, and it was delish. Has sortouv a lemon-y undertone to it, not overly spicy, but had a small amount of kick. Crab Rangoons were the best I've had in awhile, if I had to choose just one reason to order from them again, it'd be for these guys. There were 6 to split between three of us, I ate 4 of 'em. Egg Foo Young was really just meh. Shrimp pieces were big and pretty good, gravy was kinda thin, everything else about the patties was very average. As far as food goes, it's slightly better than average in quality, with the exception of the fantastic Crab Rangoons. The portions are pretty damn hearty. I expected to be paying $30-$35, so pricing was better than I had anticipated I guess! Super quick delivery though, could be 'cos I ordered after midnight on a Tuesday, but who knows, no complaints there. But yeah, wtf, no fortune cookies? C'mon now.

Sometimes you need to order Chinese at odd hours, and this is the place to do it. The food is pretty good for the price, and while the delivery always takes the maximum to get to us, its worth it. The chicken and rice soup is my favorite. If they didn't have a delivery minimum I would order much more often just for that. Its so so good! The other things I've tried are good, but standard- which is all I can really ask for from a place like this. This place is also perfect for those nights when you know you've drank too much and dont want to wake up with a heinous hangover.

I wish I could give this any type of good review but when I called to place my order the person who answered said it was a 2 hour wait and then said to not bother waiting. Then he backtracked and said that they would deliver but I had to order online. I ordered through grub hub, and 20 minutes later someone from grub hub called me and stated my order had been canceled at the owners request. Wtf?! I don't know how their business runs but I was baffled.

I found Green Dragon through GrubHub. Looking for some quick Chinese but not immediately hungry, I picked Green Dragon since it's just a tad bit farther away than the usual suspects. The food arrived and the food portions were plentiful and held their integrity even after delivery. This quickfix Chinese food won't be leaving you any healthier, but it will feed you and give you your comfort foods from the Far East. I had some BBQ pork appetizer, some Mongolian Beef, and a bit of General Tso's Chicken. I kept most of it to eat later in the week and the food still hit the spot. For affordable prices and online ordering, Great Dragon did the trick.

I have to say that I'm fairly impressed by this place. The quality of my food was quite good and the prices were reasonable. What's not to like? Specifically, the twice-cooked pork had a really nice flavor and a velvety sauce with a little bit of a bite. On the upside, there was a lot of pork in the dish. On the downside it was kind of fatty, which I don't care for very much. Still, there was enough lean meat in there that I didn't feel cheated, and the cabbage and green pepper were both cooked just to the point of being tender without losing their crispness. The wonton soup was odd. Not only were there three large wontons, but there were generous portions of noodles and cabbage in the broth. Not what I expected, but it was tasty nonetheless. Also worth a mention was their mango smoothie, a pleasantly sweet, fruity slushy sort of concoction. I ordered via GrubHub and they offer a free eggroll with a $X of food (I'm not being evasive, I just don't recall and am too lazy to go back and check. It's not a huge amount.) and the eggrolls are large and also quite tasty. Like most Chinese restaurants these days, they don't send hot mustard with their eggrolls, only sweet-sour. If you want the mustard, you need to ask, or do what The Housemate does and keep a tin of it in your cabinet. I'm definitely up for trying more items from this place.
(4)Earlie C.
Got take out. Had to call GrubHub's customer support an hour and thirty later after no one showed up. The delivery guy didn't give me me receipt after I waited more than an hour. Almost skeptical that he may have charged my credit card more than what the meal was. The Mongolian beef was alright. I mean, it must be nearly impossible to eff that up. Crab Rangoon was alright too, but had onion in it and something else? Weird. On to the spicy curry. It was alright too, after I had to enough curry powder and garam masala to drown a small child. Food was very oily. MSG through the roof. For a $43 bill I expected more. But being that this is the only place open at like 3a.m., I guess I can't complain. But I'll never order from them again.
(2)Kelly W.
I am a pretty standard gal. By standard I mean I usually get the same things. General Tao Chicken or Beef and Broccoli. I love their versions of both, not to mention you get a LOT of food. The GTC is tender, flavorful and deelish! The eggrolls are tasty and the fried rice is typical. The B&B is loaded with tons of FRESH broccoli and the beef is also juicy, well-seasoned and good. For about 8 bucks, you get a soda and a nice little styrofoam container that you can feast on for eternity.
(4)Jackie C.
Great for that scratching that greasy Chinese good itch. Definitely a step above your normal corner takeout place. The orange chicken in particular is really, really good and you should order it. There seems to be some weird Chicago (or Wicker Park?) phenomenon where lo mein is made with tiny chow mein noodles, which for whatever weird personal taste related reason I hate, and Great Dragon has real, thick lo mein, so I'm a happy camper. We went through a lot of trial and error trying to find the perfect Chinese delivery near us and finally landed on Great Dragon. Great price, portions are huge (trust me, two people can easily share the small orders), dishes are consistent. Delivery is almost always super fast as wel.
(4)Jill H.
not the best chinese around, but pretty damn good for your late night greasy craving. i order again & again! good service and prompt, hot delivery :) 3 1/3 stars
(3)Erica P.
I do not give it only three stars because I rate their food that way. Their food is quite delicious if you like greasy hearty chinese food (Its actually very delicious). However, I ordered delivery to avoid going out on this chilly evening. I indulge a little to meet their $20 dollar delivery minimum. I pay the $5 delivery fee. Plus tip. So tell me then, why I get a phone call to meet the driver on the first floor (I live on the 3rd), to retrieve my delivery. Assuming he was at the gate I buzzed him in and made my way downstairs. Waited for a moment and had to call the driver back, to him still being in his car. Long story short, if you're going to hire delivery drivers, make sure they know the definition of the word "Delivery". Thanks.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! I have ordered from here in the past and never had an issue. Tonight I ordered 2 General Tso dinners with some other stuff. When I cut into the chicken it was pink and slimy!!!! So I called the place (obviously concerned that my chicken is uncooked) and was told "no it was cooked that is just how our chicken is". I advised that I have ordered in the past and the chicken has never been like this. I was put on hold and told "I dont know what to tell you this is just how the chicken is". My response back was "I dont know what to tell you-its pink and looks raw". Put on hold again but I hear yelling in the background (not in english) and finally she comes back with "My manager says I can refund you and by the way you have never ordered from us so you wouldn't know what the chicken is like and that's how it looks" and then I was hung up on! RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!!! I know I have ordered before per my GrubHub account-it was actually my favorite as far as the flavor went! But I will not be ordering again due to the complete lack of customer service and I obviously don't want to be concerned about eating raw food again in the future! Thankfully, GrubHub has wonderful customer service and once I advised them of the issue they apologized and said they would take care of my refund.

We ordered from Great Dragon tonight and were completely disgusted with our food. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with shrimp fried rice. First, let me start with the chicken. It was cooked in at least a week old grease, the breading was old and stale, and there was a miniature piece of "chicken" inside. Shrimp tasted like freezer burn and rice was old. Egg rolls were a joke. They were flavor less and not crispy. My husband ordered orange chicken with shrimp fried rice and experienced the very similar things to mine. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND RISK YOUR STOMACH.
(1)Brenda C.
This place has the BEST Mongolian beef! I have been to about 5 other Chinese places and this place wins hands down. Their Mongolian delight is another great dish! It includes chicken, beef and shrimp in their delicious sauce. I have also tried their mango, watermelon and strawberry smoothies. I've had smoothies from 2 other places and again Great Dragon just knows how to make theirs better! Been ordering from this place for about 5 years now and although they've definitely gotten pricier over time it is the best Chinese I've had.
(5)A B.
This is American-style Chinese carry-out. If that's what you're looking for, you should know this place does that really well. Service is fast and the place looks clean. We've ordered out from here four or five times and haven't run across an off dish. Some of them don't stand out (the egg rolls are just egg rolls), but none of them have been bad. The Sesame Chicken is remarkable, though, and could easily become one of those little addictions you don't want your friends to know about. (Yeah, it's probably too sweet. But if you like that sort of thing from time to time...) There are always coupons (half off second entree) on their website. That's nice.

More from my business trip to Chicago: One night, I was staying up late to shoot the breeze with new people I'd met from the Chicago office. Sadly, we lost track of the time and became quite famished. I was afraid we wouldn't find anything of quality open late, but one of the guys I was with mentioned the Great Dragon, and we all wandered over. I didn't really do any of the ordering, but I tried everything my group ordered. I'm pleased to say, there was nothing I didn't like! It was a little on the oily side for my taste, but all the meat dishes were really flavorful. I was especially impressed by the mongolian beef. I would have liked to see more vegetables, but I liked that this place didn't skimp on the meat. Bottom line, we were fed well with good chinese food at a decent price.
(4)Carey R.
This is my go-to place for cheap, american-chinese takeout. It's the only restaurant thats been awesome enough to make it to my cell's contact list, so far. That being said, i only get really specific items from here! Lo mein, Potstickers, Wonton Soup, Crab Rangoons, Fried rice. And they are all amazing. At least, they are exactly what IM looking for, when i am craving chinese. and its cheap cheap cheap- I think a large order, of everything listed above, comes to 20$ even. I love you great dragon - every time im sick, or sad, or feel like a rich person- you are there for me to spend my money on! Make sure to grab a menu and use the coupons when you call in an order- free stuff with x amount of dollars spent and that kinda thing. Oh yeah and they deliver, but i live far away now, so i just pick it up and drive fast so it's hot when i get home :)
(4)Drake S.
Pretty good Chinese food. I love how simple this dishes are, and not overstuffed with veggies on the side.
(4)Roberto F.
Kind of stopped coming here because lately there food started to get a little to oily for my tastes. Still a pretty good place to come and portions are enough to take home for left overs or save for lunch the following day but the quality has kind of slipped a bit. Like I said though still some good deals, great people that work here and good portions. Only loses one star from my previous revew Although they might earn 3.5 if that system existed here.
(4)Joe H.
Super cheap....huge portions and great service. Only problem is lack of seating inside, but if you are creeped out by occasionally having to eat next to a daytime drinker that scratched up the $5 for the lunch combo...then you can always carry out.
(4)Nikki L.
Wow, after reading all the reviews, I decided to try this place. Being just down the street from my restaurant, I wanted to check out the competition and what this place had to offer. When you walk in, there's a 30 x 30 menu on the wall, no joke, it takes up almost the entire wall. I heard their orange chicken tastes like little pillows, so I definitely had to try it. I ordered a small which was really enough to feed two and they really did taste like little pillows :-) Although I did not taste any hints of orange aside from few visible orange peels, it was still good! I haven't tried anything else but I look forward to going back and trying something new. I am interested in trying their lunch specials at $4.50!!! Cheeap :-)
(3)Joe U.
Diggity dirt cheap chinese dive serves up great lunch special combo plates and a healthy dose of child labor law violations. Call in your order and pick up because usually the tv is on and the heat is off in the seating area. One nice thing is that they will make near anything into a lunch combo with a free can of soda.
(4)Marlyn L.
I've only had their food via delivery... so I don't know what the place looks like... but it's good! This is your basic, heavily soy sauced Chinese food, but the portions are large and the price is right. It's not good for you but it's good to you. I like the lo mein. Their various chicken dishes are good. Haven't tried beef or pork. Delivery can be quick or take a while. I guess it depends on the night. The guy is courteous, though :)
(3)Tina M.
Food was pretty standard. I was hoping for better food. The orange chicken is like pillows because there is sooo much breading on it. The egg rolls and crab Rangoon taste like they have been sitting in oil all day. I was a bit disappointed.
(3)Livia I.
I love this place. I always go for their lunch specials which are as someone else said, cheap cheap cheap. $4.50 for an enormous portion of fried rice, your choice of entree, and egg roll, AND a soda. As for the food itself, I think it's pretty top notch Americanized Chinese food. Everything is quite fresh and cooked just right. Their fresh fruit smoothies are fantastic as well. They really do have fresh fruit in them. Not only can I taste them, but the first time I ever ordered the mango smoothie, they had to run to the store to get me a mango so they could make it right! I don't get the tapioca in them because I find that they freeze too quickly, or perhaps they aren't made quite right, but I enjoy the smoothie just fine without the tapioca balls. The staff is great as well. The dining area is nothing to brag about. It's your typical bare bones hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant atmosphere. Just enough room to fit maybe 15 people. All in all, a good, quick, cheap place to eat!
(4)Jenna P.
Chinese food. Sometimes you want a delicious, authentic dish that makes you wonder what on Earth these magical cooks did to make their food so good. And other times, you want greasy Americanized "Chinese" food. Great Dragon is for the latter. I admit it, I occasionally get cravings for large quantities of greasy, simple chicken fried rice. And Great Dragon delivers! They are very cheap, very fast, and very tasty in a guilty-pleasure sort of way. I also enjoy the lo mein and the crab rangoon. Plus, you can order and pay online (through grubhub), which basically means that with no effort and almost no money, you can have delicious Chinese food at your door in under an hour. Amazing!
(3)Douglas B.
Sure, it's cheap chinese, but you know that going into the restaurant, so I assume you are ready for whatever they're about to throw your way. If this was solely based upon the Orange Chicken, I would give this restaurant 5 stars. Some of the best OC I've had anywhere, especially for the price. The General (Tso, Tao) chicken is okay, but unspectacular. Go elsewhere for that. I had the Hunan Chicken for lunch, and it was decent. It actually tasted better when I reheated the food and had it for dinner. The lunch special is ridiculously low priced - $5 for a huge portion of food. Awesome! There is always food left over for later consumption, which is a major plus for me. $8 for a large makes 2+ meals for me, and I eat quite a bit (hey, I'm a decent-sized healthy guy, lay off!) =P I do have a gripe, the onions in the crab rangoon is very noticeable and overpowers everything else. They're open pretty late, up to 10pm daily, if memory serves.
(4)Jessica S.
I have to admit that this place gets an extra star for delivering to us in Logan Square (somehow, all deliveries seem to stop W of Western, N of Fullerton, and S of Belmont) - and fast! We took a chance on a mailer left on our door for cheap Chinese food (when we want gourmet Chinese, we go to Friendship) since no one had yelped it yet. Great Dragon did not disappoint! The food was surprisingly good. We got 2 dishes, egg rolls, and soup for $20 with our coupon. The portions were so big that we have leftovers for at least two more meals (1 large is big enough for 2)! I don't know what the place looks like but the menu was lengthy and they offer to make anything you want. We asked for ours without MSG. If you live in Logan Square or Avondale - give it a try!
(4)Eddy B.
3 stars overall from me. You'll get your typical quality American Chinese food from this late night spot. Cheap and late hours are awfully convenient. Good choice for whenever you're feeling for something easy. The Orange Chicken is the way to go. The last time I dined here however wasn't quite as pleasant. I ordered over the phone and was taken care of quickly, cordially, and efficiently as always. When I got my food though, it was quite the opposite. I ordered the General Tso Chicken. I was met with a chicken substance that you can hardly call chicken (I'll refrain from details as to not gross anybody else). The sauce was the consistency of Silly Putty and seemed to resemble something cooked up in a chemistry lab. It was edible but I didn't feel too confident about it going down. This is more to serve as a warning: I do not recommend the General Tso Chicken, or at least not late at night. This one bad experience would not keep me from going back, but it does get me thinking.
(3)Julian G.
Worst food I've ever eaten, worst customer service hands down I've ever experienced. Manager hung up on me...said "everyone else thinks is good food" so then I came here, and methinks not! 'll be going to their " restaurant " tomorrow to get a full refund. I'm not paying 35.00 for rotten meat and a fake fruit smoothie. We got the: general tsaos chicken...there seems to be a recurring theme of fart stank. I can confirm this, @edward B. our chicken also smelled like farts. :/ There was also weird pink fleshy material in the chicken that I don't think was chicken but I'm not sure, I threw up before I could inspect fully. :( :( :( meh anyway don't go here because you will not be able to eat the food if you have a normally functioning immune system.
(1)M M.
Owner and/or cashier is trying to rob me. 10% off of $61.45 is not $5 off-- sure, the cashier had to call owner to recalculate because she doesn't know how to do basic math and deduct 10% off of $61.45, which by the way is $6.145, not $5. She called the owner again (by which she tells me, after I insist to talk to him/her and get his/her name, that she doesn't know the owner's name) to ask for the recalculation... Uh and the owner recalculated the price, but somehow makes a mistake again with a BS total of $55.80 as opposed to the RIGHT math at $55.30. What the heck is wrong with these people. Never coming here again when I know this particular employee is here-- she can't do math for herself, why would you leave her to work for register?!?!?! She was cursing me out in Chinese the whole time. Lady, you're in the wrong here, not me. No wonder this establishment achieves only 3 stars. 12:24am Nov 4, 2014. Went from 1 to 2 stars-- About 1 hour later, the owner comes and finally he tells me that the 10% is deducted before taxes... This could have been easily avoided had the woman (which turned it to be his wife... So how did she not know the owner's aka her husband's name??) at the counter told me that. Not only did he explain this to me, but also explained how I should/should've asked him for any questions... UH I asked to talk to you but your wife would not let me speak to you. HELLO. I'm sorry but your wife needs to stay off the register. Thank god for your husband who said, "We want you to be happy," which i'm sure he only said because he kept eyeing the cops eating at a table behind me - he gained you 1 more star.
(2)Joseph C.
I ordered delivery from Grub Hub. First of all, the restaurant charged a $6 delivery fee and quoted me an hour and a half. I worked as a manager of a Chinese restaurant for 5 years and know that Chinese food is the quickest cuisine to execute. I called the restaurant after an hour and they were rude on the phone and told me that it would take an additional hour.....so now we are at 2 hours for fried rice and orange chicken. I cancelled my order with the restaurant, had to call Grub Hub myself,and it is now going to now take 3-5 business days to get my $30 order credited. Poor customer service at best.
(1)David C.
DO NOT ORDER! We ordered this food from Grubhub and the experience was terrible. The food arrived fast and hot but it was disgusting. We ordered Mongolian beef and another chicken entree, as well as two sides. The meat was inedible along with a side but the rice was fine. Nothing special. The meat wasn't actual meat and we bit into pieces that were raw batter smothered in okay sauce. We called to complain the immediately the person on the phone started yelling at us and actually hung up the phone. We called back and they ignored our call after a ring or two. We called a 3rd time and asked for the owner but the person on the phone refused to transfer us to anyone else and wouldn't tell us when the owner or manager would be in. He said to never call again and hung up on us for a 2nd time. We tried calling Grubhub but they couldn't do anything on their end. To bad. DO NOT ORDER!
(1)Jatie M.
Nasty just gross! This isn't what it sounds like. Egg roll worse then the Panda Express egg rolls. Food is mushy. Eww
(1)Edward B.
We got a delivery for the Mongolian beef and general tso. We opened up the containers and it smelled like farts. I thought I was the only one that thought that until my whole household confirmed. There were more onions than beef in the Mongolian beef and I really can't say that we got any beef....just fat swimming in brown gravy. The general tso breading is not breading....I have been to cheap crappier hole in the walls than this and had better general tso. I called to complain and the manager started yelling at me saying that I was wrong and that I should shut up. After I called back because the the person hung up on me, I asked him nicely to stop yelling at me. He refused to stop yelling and told me I dont know anything and that I should just order somewhere else. Apparently, I am not the only person that the manager has yelled at over the phone...just read the other reviews. How does a business still exist when they have bad food and even worse customer service? I still plan on getting a hold of the order because the 5 dollars off my next grub hub order is not acceptable for enduring the horrible business (and probably food poisoning later) that is called great dragon.
(1)Marvin M.
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT !!Worst costumer service EVER! We placed a large order at work and 2 and half hours later our food hasn't arrive yet. We called the place and asked for the status on our order. The guy responded"I forgot to put your order in." That's ridiculous !!! Considering we usually order from this restaurant all the time because of its late night business hours. We expected better service than this . Never again will we order from this place!!! Horrible!!!
(1)Nyta C.
Completely unprofessional. Not even the slightest bit of respect even if you order over the phone. I tried ordering online and for some reason my payment wasn't processing so I decided to call, put on hold, spoken with shortly and then was hung up on. When I called back to reorder I was told I can't order over the phone only online- but yet last week I had my order taken via phone. This is weird and he didn't even listen to me and kept interrupting and telling me the website address and there was nothing he can do. What a load of crap. I used to like them but not anymore. I'll take my business else where.
(1)Kevin G.
I ordered food from this restaurant. Half an hour later, they called and said they were out of something that I had ordered...no big deal. An HOUR after that, they called and said it would be another 45 minutes because I live so far away? Just puttin it out there...I cancelled my order and will not repeat the mistake.
(1)Rebeca R.
This place is just ok. Pretty standard Chinese restaurant. Everything I have tried is subpar. We go when we don't have too much money to spend we get lunch specials. I would not recommend it as a nice place to eat.
(3)Freddy F.
2 Stars for quality of food. NO STARS for delivery service! 2 hours later still nothing. This is the 2nd time this happens. I'm sure there are other good Chinese spots that care. Bye bye not so Great Dragon!
(2)flower c.
Food isn't great. Veggies and sauce are slimy, the smell isn't nice as well.. Meat wasn't good as well. It's disappointing considering the price we paid. And they added a $4 fee right at the end. Not cool.
(2)Candi D.
One of my favorite late night place and favorite Chinese restaurant. Here is what to order: Mango Shake Potstickers Crab Rangoon BBQ Pork - cooked well Done String beans with Rice. Enjoy! Excellent delivery always quick and food steaming hot!!!!!
(5)Christine M.
We have never dined inside the restaurant...we always have our food delivered. Very good food and reasonable pricing. We order from them at least twice a month.
(3)Walter Alan H.
Nothing special but good american Chinese food after 10pm. Got the General Tso's Chicken. It was good. Also had some of the Orange Chicken and Fried rice. Egg rolls are pretty standard. This is like the 5th place I've tried in the area. Golden Chef is the best so far. But they close at 9 or something. There are a few shady reviews of this place too so... Idk, I didn't read them before we ordered but our experience was alright by all accounts.
(4)Shauna D.
Decent/not great food... But my major problem is the service/operations. They'd rather pinch pennies than accommodate you to maintain any type of loyalty from customers. They offer 10% off your first online order, but then the online order program they use doesn't work, so I called and mentioned their online issue and referenced the discount, to which the girl on the phone claimed they no longer offered. Funny, because it's clearly all over your website AND I watched the discount be applied on my online order prior to the website crashing and my order failing. It had nothing to do with them not offering the 10% off anymore, yet she pretty much said I was lying. So I placed my order via phone and came in with the debit card that I planned to use, had their website worked for the online order that their website encourages. There is no $ minimum for online CC payments, and I only placed my order by phone because their online order system was not working, and sure enough when I get there to pay, oh, they have a CC purchase minimum. I was only short of their requirement by less than $2.00. And mind you it's their website that failed, otherwise I would have paid online with my card just fine. I explained that I don't have cash and that's why I preferred online payment. They wouldn't budge to overlook it, and made me increase my order or pay cash. They don't have an ATM. I can now either order something I don't even want, or leave my already waiting order to go find an ATM. Thanks. Great service. Good for you, you cornered me into ordering something extra that I don't even want in order to use my card that was supposed to be accepted just fine had your website functioned properly. Was that $5 Crab Rangoon worth me never ordering from you again??
(1)Kathryn Rosalie R.
After waiting exactly an hour and 20 minutes for our order (Mongolian beef dinner special, an orange chicken dinner special and an extra order of egg rolls) we called to check on when our order would be arriving. Not only was the gentleman (using that word loosely here) extremely rude to my husband but he interrupted him every 5 seconds and then abruptly informed us that our order was canceled and we could order from some where else and then hung up on my husband. When we tried to call back from my husband's cell the call was sent straight to voice mail after the first ring. When I called from my cell phone the call was picked up by the 3rd ring. When I explained why I was calling to check on our order, this same guy again gets an attitude, TELLS me my order was canceled and then hangs up on me. Well sir just so you know I DID in fact order from somewhere else and not only did my order get here in under an hour but I also saved $10 on the same exact order from a real gentleman who was extremely courteous - THANK YOU EAT FIRST ON BELMONT AND KIMBALL! I will never waste my time on LAME Dragon ever again!
(1)Cassie C.
The plus side? Great dragon is open late and delivers. The portions are generous and the food is on point most of the time. The down side? the minimum delivery fee is between 20-25 dollars depending on the day. Sometimes the driver forgets to bring me an item but is always willing to bring me back whatever is missing.
(3)Jen S.
Roach INFESTED!!! PLEASE do not go here! This was my local Chinese food restaurant for years ever since moving into the neighborhood...and years before that for my partner who grew up in this area. I even raved to people about this place because the prices were great and the food WAS exceptional. Friday, Oct 11th, I ordered for pickup, 2 Kung Bao Chicken (they call it Bao) for my partner and I. The dinner meal comes with an egg roll as well. We got home and began to eat. My "I'm so glad she is" picky of an eater partner literally picks at her food and is very particular about how she eats. On her second bite of her egg roll, she noticed a ROACH in the Kung Boa, dipped the egg roll to grab it for reassurance and sure enough, it was a COCKROACH. I called the restaurant right away and spoke to the underaged girl they have working the front counter (I'm assuming she is a family member) and she passed me to a gentleman. He barely understood what I was saying and vice versa but her understood ROACH! He then said "Oh....okay, we can send you something else, what would you like?" I screamed out "Excuse me?! I do NOT want ANYTHING from your restaurant ANYMORE! I am coming to get my money back PLUS I'd like an added extra fee since I did pick up the food AND I'm going to return it for my money, call it a delivery fee." He asked me what did I pay and said he would bring it to my home. I was completely okay with that...mind you, we took about two bites of our food when this happened. The delivery guy who came to return our money was standing outside with such an attitude. When I handed him the bag of their food, he tried to grab it from my hand and walk away with it and I pulled it back and asked "Where are you going? Can I please have my money back?" He said he had to check it but my porch light is a 100 watt bulb so what better light to use other than this one so I told him to check it there, in front of me. He opened the bag to inspect the food, checking to see how much of it I had eaten, and I had put the roach in a napkin, a napkin from my home, because, this place is SO cheap, they won't give you utensils or napkins unless you ask for it, so I had to use my own stuff from home. He then proceeded to tell me that the roach was NOT from his place because that is my napkin. I mean no disrespect to people at all when I say this but my house is not roach infested, we would never allow that here, there would be an exterminator in this house if that were the case so NO, the KUNG BOA sauced roach did NOT come from MY own napkin. At this point I was getting very frustrated and being a Restaurant Manager Sanitation License holder, I knew my rights and I told him "Sir, please do not be a fool, we both know your place is infested with roaches and this is from YOUR facility. Just give me my money and take back your disgusting food" He then threw the money at me and walked away without a peep. PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!!!

This place is ridiculous! Called for a pick up and they told me over the phone that I need to come in because "they are busy and will not take orders over the phone"....So then I asked for delivery instead and got the same response. I didn't even get to respond back to ask how late they are open and the guy said "ok bye" and hung up. After reading all the terrible reviews maybe it was a sign from above to save my soul from eating the food of such a ratchet place. Instead I got tasty mexican food.

This place is really close to my apartment and I really like this place. It's a go to when I don't want to cook or if I don't know what to eat. Everything we've ordered from this place has been pretty yummy. We've ordered the chicken with mushroom and onion, general tso's chicken, kung pao chicken, beef broccoli, egg drop soup, chicken rice soup and we love it all. The best part is they are open late and they deliver. The people are nice, the food is made to order so everything is super, piping hot when I take it out the door and it's so convenient! I'm so glad that I have this place near by.

Amazing Shrimp Fried Rice but disgusting environment. Dirty floors that look like they haven't been clean in centuries, the fish tank is dirtier than a sewer.. I feel sorry for that fish it can barely even turn around in that small dirty tank. Someone please call PETA. For god sake CLEAN at least once a week and if you're not just make it a carry out, catering, delivery place because seriously it's gross.

My fiancé and I got terrible food poisoning from this restaurant. We had ordered several times before but this time I ended up in the hospital I was so sick.
(1)Nancy S.
The beef egg fooyoung and the sesame chicken is great, but they took 1 and a half hours to deliver. Too long in my opinion. No food is worth that wait.
(3)Frida G.
Here's what I ordered: 1 Shrimp Fried Rice $ 11.55 1 Mongolian Beef $ 10.95 1 Shrimp Egg Foo Young $ 7.55 1 Mix 2 Flavors Smoothie $ 4.00 1 Chicken Rice Soup $ 1.95 Total $47.16 I wasn't expecting to pay $50 for my order. But I will have to say that the servings are generous. The Shrimp Fried Rice was extra large and was way more than enough for my family. The taste of the shrimp fried rice was great too and my kids enjoyed their Chicken Rice Soup. The Shrimp Egg Foo Young could use some more flavor. I found myself constantly reaching for the gravy because the pattie itself was lacking flavor. The Mongolian Beef was good, but was on the sweet side. My husband doesn't like his to be sweet, so I don't think he was a fan of that dish at all. Also, they did not include any of those white crispy things w/ the Mongolian Beef. I thought it's standard for all Chinese restaurants to include that w/ the Mongolian Beef? The smoothie was gone before I was able to try it... so I'm assuming it was good =) Anyway, I've had better tasting dishes elsewhere, but this place is a good backup.
(4)Winifred b.
Me.. I would like to place an order for delivery Man...not taking orders right now, Me...what? its an hour before closing Man...too busy we not taking orders, sorry we not taking orders Can't say I won't order from them ever but it will be last on my list to call for chinese
(1)Night S.
WOW. I cannot believe what I just went through with this place. Honestly unbelievable. I placed an order online, as I have done from these guys in the past and they have always taken a long time to deliver but not more than an hour. Today I placed an order at 5:20pm via the Grubhub.com website or what have you for a small entree, small fried rice and some crab rangoons. $15 minimum to order, order came out to $18 or whatever. 6:30pm I call concerned and the Asian kid looks up the address and says "the order is on its way" after a brief hold. "Ok, I ordered over an hour ago... but ok". I wait another 25 minutes, still nada. 655pm now and I think, screw it, let me call back and see whats going on. I am absolutely STARVING at this point. Same arrogant Asian kid answers. I ask again where my food is, she just tells me its on its way. No apologies, no concern for the customer, no concern for the reputation the restaurant is getting by treating its customers like crap. I told her I was upset that she didn't even seem to care, at least pretend to feel bad that you've made a customer wait so long. All she says is "well, there is probably traffic" So at this point I get pissed and I say "You know what, just cancel the order, screw it" and she just says "ok". THAT'S IT. No apologies, no nothing. I ask why she isnt even sorry and she says "sorry that its taking so long" I ask for the manager and she says "I am the manager" at this point I am absolutely shocked, I mean I can respect a place not wanting to pay an actual manager to take care of their restaurant but this is absurd. So I tell her "You obviously have absolutely no management skills and no idea how to treat a customer, the way youre acting youre most likely the owners daughter" and she says "i am the owners daughter". Need I say more? Clearly this snobbish, arrogant kid has no desire to do what's right for her parents business. This is NOT how you treat a customer. The worst part is, I asked her if she'd be willing to throw in some eggrolls or give me a discount or do something, anything to make up for this whole issue. She said no. She allegedly consulted with her dad and he said no, to just cancel the order. WTF. I wish there was some rule against treating customers like this, to ensure places like this go out of business. Yeah, I am livid and all they had to do was try to do whats right and pretend to be empathetic. Thats it. I will NEVER order from this place again, EVER. Amy, learn some manners.

I placed a simple order for delivery and the woman on the telephone gave me a total of 19$ which made sense given the items chosen, tax, and the delivery charge. 10 minutes later a man called me back saying that my total was actually 35$ and that the women had made a mistake. When I preceded to tell him that it could not be be he screamed the number again and again. Then he told me that was the total for a large sweet and sour chicken even though I ordered a small. The women probably made another mistake and he was trying to blame it on me. Then he gave me a new total for 26$ saying that the delivery charge was $5 even though it says on grubhub 3.50$. When I preceded to explain this to him he said ordered canceled and rudely hung up the phone. I have ordered/eaten here many times and never have had a problem. Its sad to see that the one time there is a mistake this is how they handle it. I honestly do not believe I will eat at this restaurant anymore and its too bad because their food is actually decent.
(1)Grache C.
On their menu it indicated to order online for 10% off, their online ordering is through grubhub which that site in return kind of messed up my order. First off, never got my 10% off from ordering online and when I complained about it, he had every excuse possible how and why it didn't.. Anyways, ordered an appetizer, entree and other side orders, turns out I got a on extra appetizer.. Assuming this was a mistake but turns out this grubhub website charged me for the two appetizers. I was livid.. Spent $40 on barely any food and it tasted horrible.. Never will I order from them again..
(1)Stephenie S.
This place is pretty bad. The Ma Po Tofu was just diced silken tofu in brown sauce. The rice that came with the large sized portion was disproportionately small. The lo mein was bland and over cooked. It's not worth it, just make a sandwich. Also, they forgot half my order and refused to deliver it. So I hate them.
(1)Katey W.
Alright, so it satisfied what I was looking for. Chinese, not Thai and open late. We ordered for pick up on Grub Hub. We were quoted 10:45pm. Got there at 10:54. My poor husband was awkwardly waiting in the restaurant. He was not pleased and neither was I. There were some sketchy looking dudes coming through the parking lot behind my parked car and it's not in the best neighborhood. I was about to come inside to find out what was taking so long and to seek better shelter, but then I saw him on his way out at 11:09. Husband says never again and I have to agree.
(2)Prince C.
beef with mushrooms off the chain good as hell
(5)Jean C.
I have to say that I'm fairly impressed by this place. The quality of my food was quite good and the prices were reasonable. What's not to like? Specifically, the twice-cooked pork had a really nice flavor and a velvety sauce with a little bit of a bite. On the upside, there was a lot of pork in the dish. On the downside it was kind of fatty, which I don't care for very much. Still, there was enough lean meat in there that I didn't feel cheated, and the cabbage and green pepper were both cooked just to the point of being tender without losing their crispness. The wonton soup was odd. Not only were there three large wontons, but there were generous portions of noodles and cabbage in the broth. Not what I expected, but it was tasty nonetheless. Also worth a mention was their mango smoothie, a pleasantly sweet, fruity slushy sort of concoction. I ordered via GrubHub and they offer a free eggroll with a $X of food (I'm not being evasive, I just don't recall and am too lazy to go back and check. It's not a huge amount.) and the eggrolls are large and also quite tasty. Like most Chinese restaurants these days, they don't send hot mustard with their eggrolls, only sweet-sour. If you want the mustard, you need to ask, or do what The Housemate does and keep a tin of it in your cabinet. I'm definitely up for trying more items from this place.
(4)Earlie C.
Got take out. Had to call GrubHub's customer support an hour and thirty later after no one showed up. The delivery guy didn't give me me receipt after I waited more than an hour. Almost skeptical that he may have charged my credit card more than what the meal was. The Mongolian beef was alright. I mean, it must be nearly impossible to eff that up. Crab Rangoon was alright too, but had onion in it and something else? Weird. On to the spicy curry. It was alright too, after I had to enough curry powder and garam masala to drown a small child. Food was very oily. MSG through the roof. For a $43 bill I expected more. But being that this is the only place open at like 3a.m., I guess I can't complain. But I'll never order from them again.
(2)Kelly W.
I am a pretty standard gal. By standard I mean I usually get the same things. General Tao Chicken or Beef and Broccoli. I love their versions of both, not to mention you get a LOT of food. The GTC is tender, flavorful and deelish! The eggrolls are tasty and the fried rice is typical. The B&B is loaded with tons of FRESH broccoli and the beef is also juicy, well-seasoned and good. For about 8 bucks, you get a soda and a nice little styrofoam container that you can feast on for eternity.
(4)Jackie C.
Great for that scratching that greasy Chinese good itch. Definitely a step above your normal corner takeout place. The orange chicken in particular is really, really good and you should order it. There seems to be some weird Chicago (or Wicker Park?) phenomenon where lo mein is made with tiny chow mein noodles, which for whatever weird personal taste related reason I hate, and Great Dragon has real, thick lo mein, so I'm a happy camper. We went through a lot of trial and error trying to find the perfect Chinese delivery near us and finally landed on Great Dragon. Great price, portions are huge (trust me, two people can easily share the small orders), dishes are consistent. Delivery is almost always super fast as wel.
(4)An P.
I found Green Dragon through GrubHub. Looking for some quick Chinese but not immediately hungry, I picked Green Dragon since it's just a tad bit farther away than the usual suspects. The food arrived and the food portions were plentiful and held their integrity even after delivery. This quickfix Chinese food won't be leaving you any healthier, but it will feed you and give you your comfort foods from the Far East. I had some BBQ pork appetizer, some Mongolian Beef, and a bit of General Tso's Chicken. I kept most of it to eat later in the week and the food still hit the spot. For affordable prices and online ordering, Great Dragon did the trick.
(4)Jill H.
not the best chinese around, but pretty damn good for your late night greasy craving. i order again & again! good service and prompt, hot delivery :) 3 1/3 stars
(3)Melvin M.
Egg foo yung was ok but very bland. I mean very, i could smell the lack of flavor in it.
(2)Alisa M.
I ordered from here spur of the moment. It was 1 am, I was too tired to cook, and they were the only place delivering in my area that wasn't a pizzeria (so says grubhub). Not only was my order on time, it was hot, the driver was polite, and the price was right! I ordered the dinner for two... It comes with crab Rangoon, egg rolls, wonton soup, sesame chicken, beef with mixed veggies, and special fried rice. The soup was good, the egg rolls have spicy mustard cooked in (which my bf loved), the Rangoon was fluffy and tasted amazing, the beef was a bit tasteless (yet still moist), the rice was good, but the best part was the chicken. It was fresh, moist, and it melted in your mouth (unlike most places where the sesame chicken tends to be crunchy and over cooked). NOT BAD FOR 1AM CHINESE DELIVERY! I'm planning on ordering all my Chinese food from here now on! You don't wanna skip this place, it's really worth the price and the food is really awesome!
(4)Lissette M.
Can you say wow, I just moved to the area and I have been looking for good Chinese food, and I finally found it. The Beef with Garlic Source is so delicious I will definitely order that again. The service is great fast delivery with the food still being HOT yum. In my opinion this is the best Chinese restaurant is Logan Square area.
(5)Erica P.
I do not give it only three stars because I rate their food that way. Their food is quite delicious if you like greasy hearty chinese food (Its actually very delicious). However, I ordered delivery to avoid going out on this chilly evening. I indulge a little to meet their $20 dollar delivery minimum. I pay the $5 delivery fee. Plus tip. So tell me then, why I get a phone call to meet the driver on the first floor (I live on the 3rd), to retrieve my delivery. Assuming he was at the gate I buzzed him in and made my way downstairs. Waited for a moment and had to call the driver back, to him still being in his car. Long story short, if you're going to hire delivery drivers, make sure they know the definition of the word "Delivery". Thanks.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! I have ordered from here in the past and never had an issue. Tonight I ordered 2 General Tso dinners with some other stuff. When I cut into the chicken it was pink and slimy!!!! So I called the place (obviously concerned that my chicken is uncooked) and was told "no it was cooked that is just how our chicken is". I advised that I have ordered in the past and the chicken has never been like this. I was put on hold and told "I dont know what to tell you this is just how the chicken is". My response back was "I dont know what to tell you-its pink and looks raw". Put on hold again but I hear yelling in the background (not in english) and finally she comes back with "My manager says I can refund you and by the way you have never ordered from us so you wouldn't know what the chicken is like and that's how it looks" and then I was hung up on! RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!!! I know I have ordered before per my GrubHub account-it was actually my favorite as far as the flavor went! But I will not be ordering again due to the complete lack of customer service and I obviously don't want to be concerned about eating raw food again in the future! Thankfully, GrubHub has wonderful customer service and once I advised them of the issue they apologized and said they would take care of my refund.
(1)Alexandra B.
We ordered from Great Dragon tonight and were completely disgusted with our food. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with shrimp fried rice. First, let me start with the chicken. It was cooked in at least a week old grease, the breading was old and stale, and there was a miniature piece of "chicken" inside. Shrimp tasted like freezer burn and rice was old. Egg rolls were a joke. They were flavor less and not crispy. My husband ordered orange chicken with shrimp fried rice and experienced the very similar things to mine. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND RISK YOUR STOMACH.
(1)Brenda C.
This place has the BEST Mongolian beef! I have been to about 5 other Chinese places and this place wins hands down. Their Mongolian delight is another great dish! It includes chicken, beef and shrimp in their delicious sauce. I have also tried their mango, watermelon and strawberry smoothies. I've had smoothies from 2 other places and again Great Dragon just knows how to make theirs better! Been ordering from this place for about 5 years now and although they've definitely gotten pricier over time it is the best Chinese I've had.
(5)A B.
This is American-style Chinese carry-out. If that's what you're looking for, you should know this place does that really well. Service is fast and the place looks clean. We've ordered out from here four or five times and haven't run across an off dish. Some of them don't stand out (the egg rolls are just egg rolls), but none of them have been bad. The Sesame Chicken is remarkable, though, and could easily become one of those little addictions you don't want your friends to know about. (Yeah, it's probably too sweet. But if you like that sort of thing from time to time...) There are always coupons (half off second entree) on their website. That's nice.
(4)Charlie G.
More from my business trip to Chicago: One night, I was staying up late to shoot the breeze with new people I'd met from the Chicago office. Sadly, we lost track of the time and became quite famished. I was afraid we wouldn't find anything of quality open late, but one of the guys I was with mentioned the Great Dragon, and we all wandered over. I didn't really do any of the ordering, but I tried everything my group ordered. I'm pleased to say, there was nothing I didn't like! It was a little on the oily side for my taste, but all the meat dishes were really flavorful. I was especially impressed by the mongolian beef. I would have liked to see more vegetables, but I liked that this place didn't skimp on the meat. Bottom line, we were fed well with good chinese food at a decent price.
(4)Carey R.
This is my go-to place for cheap, american-chinese takeout. It's the only restaurant thats been awesome enough to make it to my cell's contact list, so far. That being said, i only get really specific items from here! Lo mein, Potstickers, Wonton Soup, Crab Rangoons, Fried rice. And they are all amazing. At least, they are exactly what IM looking for, when i am craving chinese. and its cheap cheap cheap- I think a large order, of everything listed above, comes to 20$ even. I love you great dragon - every time im sick, or sad, or feel like a rich person- you are there for me to spend my money on! Make sure to grab a menu and use the coupons when you call in an order- free stuff with x amount of dollars spent and that kinda thing. Oh yeah and they deliver, but i live far away now, so i just pick it up and drive fast so it's hot when i get home :)
(4)Drake S.
Pretty good Chinese food. I love how simple this dishes are, and not overstuffed with veggies on the side.
(4)Marc L.
This is the best hole in the wall Chinese food ever. It's cheap, the portions are good for two meals, and it's good. It tastes like the food is actually cooked, instead of being pulled out of a freezer bag and heated up. Honestly, I order to go from here rather than going to Friendship, because this is only slightly lower quality at half the price.
(4)Andrea S.
Whenever I eat Chinese food I always order from here. Of course I order in, how else do you eat Chinese food ? Pretty much your staple Chinese delivery. Good variety of choices, good spice to the dishes, LARGE portions, good price for the amount of food you get.
(3)Tomkat g.
Whats the deal with no fortune cookie?.....really?
(4)Joe U.
Diggity dirt cheap chinese dive serves up great lunch special combo plates and a healthy dose of child labor law violations. Call in your order and pick up because usually the tv is on and the heat is off in the seating area. One nice thing is that they will make near anything into a lunch combo with a free can of soda.
(4)Marlyn L.
I've only had their food via delivery... so I don't know what the place looks like... but it's good! This is your basic, heavily soy sauced Chinese food, but the portions are large and the price is right. It's not good for you but it's good to you. I like the lo mein. Their various chicken dishes are good. Haven't tried beef or pork. Delivery can be quick or take a while. I guess it depends on the night. The guy is courteous, though :)
(3)Livia I.
I love this place. I always go for their lunch specials which are as someone else said, cheap cheap cheap. $4.50 for an enormous portion of fried rice, your choice of entree, and egg roll, AND a soda. As for the food itself, I think it's pretty top notch Americanized Chinese food. Everything is quite fresh and cooked just right. Their fresh fruit smoothies are fantastic as well. They really do have fresh fruit in them. Not only can I taste them, but the first time I ever ordered the mango smoothie, they had to run to the store to get me a mango so they could make it right! I don't get the tapioca in them because I find that they freeze too quickly, or perhaps they aren't made quite right, but I enjoy the smoothie just fine without the tapioca balls. The staff is great as well. The dining area is nothing to brag about. It's your typical bare bones hole-in-the-wall Asian restaurant atmosphere. Just enough room to fit maybe 15 people. All in all, a good, quick, cheap place to eat!
(4)Jenna P.
Chinese food. Sometimes you want a delicious, authentic dish that makes you wonder what on Earth these magical cooks did to make their food so good. And other times, you want greasy Americanized "Chinese" food. Great Dragon is for the latter. I admit it, I occasionally get cravings for large quantities of greasy, simple chicken fried rice. And Great Dragon delivers! They are very cheap, very fast, and very tasty in a guilty-pleasure sort of way. I also enjoy the lo mein and the crab rangoon. Plus, you can order and pay online (through grubhub), which basically means that with no effort and almost no money, you can have delicious Chinese food at your door in under an hour. Amazing!
(3)Roberto F.
Kind of stopped coming here because lately there food started to get a little to oily for my tastes. Still a pretty good place to come and portions are enough to take home for left overs or save for lunch the following day but the quality has kind of slipped a bit. Like I said though still some good deals, great people that work here and good portions. Only loses one star from my previous revew Although they might earn 3.5 if that system existed here.
(4)Joe H.
Super cheap....huge portions and great service. Only problem is lack of seating inside, but if you are creeped out by occasionally having to eat next to a daytime drinker that scratched up the $5 for the lunch combo...then you can always carry out.
(4)Nikki L.
Wow, after reading all the reviews, I decided to try this place. Being just down the street from my restaurant, I wanted to check out the competition and what this place had to offer. When you walk in, there's a 30 x 30 menu on the wall, no joke, it takes up almost the entire wall. I heard their orange chicken tastes like little pillows, so I definitely had to try it. I ordered a small which was really enough to feed two and they really did taste like little pillows :-) Although I did not taste any hints of orange aside from few visible orange peels, it was still good! I haven't tried anything else but I look forward to going back and trying something new. I am interested in trying their lunch specials at $4.50!!! Cheeap :-)
(3)Douglas B.
Sure, it's cheap chinese, but you know that going into the restaurant, so I assume you are ready for whatever they're about to throw your way. If this was solely based upon the Orange Chicken, I would give this restaurant 5 stars. Some of the best OC I've had anywhere, especially for the price. The General (Tso, Tao) chicken is okay, but unspectacular. Go elsewhere for that. I had the Hunan Chicken for lunch, and it was decent. It actually tasted better when I reheated the food and had it for dinner. The lunch special is ridiculously low priced - $5 for a huge portion of food. Awesome! There is always food left over for later consumption, which is a major plus for me. $8 for a large makes 2+ meals for me, and I eat quite a bit (hey, I'm a decent-sized healthy guy, lay off!) =P I do have a gripe, the onions in the crab rangoon is very noticeable and overpowers everything else. They're open pretty late, up to 10pm daily, if memory serves.
(4)Jennie C.
I have been at Great Dragon at least 5 times. I must say each time the food keeps getting worse. Too much oil. They get my order wrong (Broccoli & Carrots with white rice). Not too hard to get this wrong, but they do. The last time was what made me stop going there. I order the same thing each time and they gave me beef fried rice with my order. I don't eat meat!
(2)Emily H.
I had such high hopes for this place, being the closest Chinese food joint. The Szechuan Beef was tasteless and oily. The Orange Chicken was weirdly gooey, overly sweet and also oily. The Crab Rangoon has no crab or imitation crab in it, was bitter and strangely stuffed with onions. Even the eggrolls tasted pretty bad. The plus side was that it was cheap and gave huge portions. But huge portions of yuck are still yuck. We got no fortune cookies or forks in our takeout order.
(2)Jon G.
As the night was starting to wind down a bit last night, we decided we needed some late night Chinese food. Saw Nicole C's review and decided to give these guys a shot. Having no menu, we just ordered typical Chinese food and hoped for the best, they had everything. I couldn't individualize the prices of each item but we got: Small Hot 'n Sour Soup "Uh... Orange chicken, but Spicy... with fried rice, and a pop." Order of Crab Rangoons Small Shrimp Egg Foo Young Total: $27.05 + Tip Was told delivery would be an hour; food arrived in 35 mins. +1 Great Dragon. The Hot 'n Sour soup was decent, they had mushrooms in them which was a pleasant surprise from the usual snotty soup with just some eggs and tofu in there. Had some of my buddy's (what I can only assume was) Spicy Chicken, and it was delish. Has sortouv a lemon-y undertone to it, not overly spicy, but had a small amount of kick. Crab Rangoons were the best I've had in awhile, if I had to choose just one reason to order from them again, it'd be for these guys. There were 6 to split between three of us, I ate 4 of 'em. Egg Foo Young was really just meh. Shrimp pieces were big and pretty good, gravy was kinda thin, everything else about the patties was very average. As far as food goes, it's slightly better than average in quality, with the exception of the fantastic Crab Rangoons. The portions are pretty damn hearty. I expected to be paying $30-$35, so pricing was better than I had anticipated I guess! Super quick delivery though, could be 'cos I ordered after midnight on a Tuesday, but who knows, no complaints there. But yeah, wtf, no fortune cookies? C'mon now.
(4)Nicole C.
Sometimes you need to order Chinese at odd hours, and this is the place to do it. The food is pretty good for the price, and while the delivery always takes the maximum to get to us, its worth it. The chicken and rice soup is my favorite. If they didn't have a delivery minimum I would order much more often just for that. Its so so good! The other things I've tried are good, but standard- which is all I can really ask for from a place like this. This place is also perfect for those nights when you know you've drank too much and dont want to wake up with a heinous hangover.
(4)Christina H.
I wish I could give this any type of good review but when I called to place my order the person who answered said it was a 2 hour wait and then said to not bother waiting. Then he backtracked and said that they would deliver but I had to order online. I ordered through grub hub, and 20 minutes later someone from grub hub called me and stated my order had been canceled at the owners request. Wtf?! I don't know how their business runs but I was baffled.
(1)Colleen O.
In an effort to curb my apparent over use of the four star feature, I'm giving this joint three stars. :::Flash to tonight::: My boyfriend calls me starving on his way home from work. I have no meat defrosted and happen to have plans with my girlfriends for a late dinner.So I quickly search online for a suitable Chinese delivery service to our new apartment. Great Dragon appears on my screen... decent reviews, close by. Ok, here we go. Placed my order, relatively cheap. Five minutes later my boyfriend calls back grumbling about how long delivery we'll take. I say "Cool it, bro..it will be here in 45min to an hour". But to my surprise my delivery was here in less than a half hour, how awesome is that!? Not only was did I get extra points for ordering food. I had it here at the house before he even got home! The food is yummy. Standard American Chinese food. Portions are plentiful. I even scarfed a bowl of friend rice down myself.
