Golden Dragon Island Restaurant

After the sale of the original Golden Dragon Island , we were worried about where to get really good Chinese Food…..today we thought we would try the New Golden Dragon Island and ordered a PuPu Platter and Moo Shu Pork …. I know the PuPu Platter is really not considered “Chinese Food” but my husband loves it and he told me it was so great that he thought we should write a review! The Crab Rangoon was super special, with a wonderful filling with a little sweetness that made it more delicious! The breading on the Chicken Finger and Fried Shrimp was surprisingly, light and delish. The chicken was moist. Boneless Ribs were numerous and also good. My Moo Shu Pork was absolutely deliciously perfect. It comes with 6 pancakes and a side of white rice. To my surprise, the pancakes were light and held together wonderfully making wrapping the Moo Shu easy……I have gotten (at other restaurants) pancakes more like tortillas……not at the New Golden Dragon Island, really, they were perfect. We are glad we tried and look forward to trying other dishes !

I had to pick a star to write a review. I am pretty sure they forgot to put the taste back into their food after the pandemic. I have never had such awful Chinese food in my life. Spring rolls just had dough and cabbage. The beef teriyaki was stringy and had a weird texture. To top it all off, I saw the cook scoop rice into a container then take some out with his bare hands.

1st and last time eating here. I bought a combo platter and a side of wings, the wings were so saturated in old oil, the container weighed 2 lbs, just disgusting, I threw them away, rhe combo platter was very similar, the teriaki was inedible, rice was heavy with no flavor, I ate a few of the boneless ribs and threw it all away.

I must say now that I only gave a 1 star rating because I had to in order to write this review. The food here is an atrocity to your mouth. I would like for the person who cooked the orange chicken and fried chicken to cook themselves what they cooked for my family eat it and tell me that it was good. You must reevaluate your cooking and seasoning methods. Close the restaurant again and improve your cooking skills for the love of all that is holy in food. Then open back up.

The old Dragon Island was the best Chinese food. I do not recommend this New Dragon Island. I ordered sweet n sour chicken with white rice, beef teriyaki and boneless ribs. All of which was awful in my opinion. The sweet n sour chicken were the smallest pieces of chicken bites that was really just batter not even a bite of chicken. The beef teriyaki was a very tough thick cut of “beef” covered in a red sauce. The boneless ribs were cut to these little slivers of “meat“ and all mostly fatty no meat. I was excited when I saw the restaurant opened back up but it clearly isn’t the same quality, I will unfortunately not be back.

The old Golden Dragon Island was the absolute BEST. We ordered tonight, I will NEVER go back there. The food was flavorless. The chicken chow mein was GROSS, and whats up with the soggy flavorless chicken in the chow mein. Was that beef teriyaki or dog on a stick... shrimp? Or no shrimp. Fed the crusty chicken wings to my dog. We are so disappointed... Definitely never going back... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS JOINT.
