Editorial Review for Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant – by Fred Benton

In Short
The small, nicely appointed interior is devoid of the typical Chinese restaurant kitsch. The pot stickers, in contrast, are excellent. The boneless duck entree should be prized by duck-lovers for its crispy skin. The duck's brown sauce is heaven on a plate: slightly sweet, with laudable depth. It's no different here, but with excellent crispy veggies and a tasty sauce.

Insider Tips

Where To Sit

The open interior doesn't lend itself to intimacy. If you want a romantic dinner, reserve the restaurant's corner booth. Reservations are accepted later in the evening (about 8:30pm).

Parking

There is off-street parking exclusively for Red Dragon in a small lot located to the immediate left of the restaurant. On-street parking can be a hassle during peak service hours.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

As soon as you walk in to the restaurant you get a friendly greeting. The one downside of the hidden jewel is the small dining room. The food is fabulous...Hot and Sour soup is the best there, but you can't go wrong with any of the entrees. The parking lot is also sometimes really hard to park in, but I am a really bad driver. GO EAT HERE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Pros: Excellent food, friendly/fast service

Cons: More expensive than the average Chinese place, Small dining room--sometimes there's a wait

My husband and I have been going to Red Dragon for at least 8 years and have always loved it. The food is good Americanized Chinese. If you're looking for authentic style, this isn't it. We love that it's small and quiet. We have always had polite and fast service. Over the years, the portions seem to have gotten a little smaller. We used to always have enough leftovers for lunch, but now we finish our food or have just a small bit left, unless we have big appetizers. I agree that it is not really suited for children, unless they are the type who stay seated quietly at the table for the duration of a meal. The small size makes noisy people of any age a nuisance to the other patrons.

Pros: Good food, quiet and intimate

Cons: Hard to find, limited seating and parking
