The New Dragon House Restaurant

Average sized portions, prices were high, food was average, service was great. Food was ready in a decent amount of time. About 30 minutes for takeout. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They had a few people waiting around dinner time. The chow mein was average, the barbecue pork fried rice was great and full of flavor but had an insane amount of peas, the almond chicken was good with an unusual twist, they sprinkle sugar on top, in all my years of ordering Chinese food no one else has done that. They blend the sugar with the crushed almonds for the topping. It reminds me of the sugary coating on donuts. It actually tasted pretty good. I was not a fan of the honey garlic pork. My usual place in Surrey puts on a generous coating of sauce leaving a pool of sauce in the bottom of the container. They're all sticky and dripping with flavor and you can spoon the excess sauce in the container over the food on your plate. But the honey garlic pork at this place was almost dry. I couldn't taste the honey or garlic at all. I also wasn't a fan of the size of the pork pieces in the honey garlic pork. For me the smaller the better. I like the nice crispy ones. The pork chunks here were very large. I got a few super long ones the size of chicken strips. They should be diced much smaller. The pieces were so large it just wasn't appetizing. The chunks look like chicken wings. That spring rolls I guess are hit and miss. We ordered two. One was perfect nice and crispy and the other one was completely soggy. I don't know what happened there. Overall I think their prices are just a bit too high for what you're getting.

got here around 11:45am and only had to wait 15 minutes for my table. Definitely worth coming on the earlier side of lunch, when we left there were a ton of people waiting outside. Food was amazing and for an amazing price too. Dumplings were great and the sesame chicken was so crispy! They're fast with bringing food as well!

I was so shocked the first bite, honestly. I'm too used to hyped restaurants being underwhelming! No wait for dinner at around 5 pm, we got the scallion pancakes and an order of the pork soup dumplings and pork + crab soup dumplings. The scallion pancake was a little too crispy with hardly any scallions. It was a good thing for soaking up the soup that escaped my spoon. The pork and pork/crab kinda tasted the same to me. So good. So much flavor, what the heck! I recommend eating the dumplings as soon as you can just cause there isn't as much an effect when it's not about to burn your mouth. Plus, cold soup isn't that nice... Make sure you have your technique optimized to enjoy the dumplings. They really are worth trying!
