2435 Hwy 97 N, Kelowna, BC V1X 6G3, Canada
Casual option serving classic Chinese fare like chow mein & fried rice, with dim sum & hot pots.
We come here for dim sum that they have from 11-2, and it's hands down amazing. Definitely recommend anyone looking to get full on a light budget. Never had any of the other food options personally, but the dim sum menu will not disappoint
Delicious Chinese food with a special mention to the wonton soup—it was absolutely fantastic! The prices are very reasonable, and the restaurant has a lovely ambiance, perfect for enjoying a meal with family. Highly recommended!
If you are looking for some decent cook authentic Chinese food. This is a really decent restaurant that actually cook a similar taste from my hometown( I am chinese myself so I am pretty sure I have some authority rating chinese food here 😆) . For those who give bad rating about this restaurant, stop ordering chicken ball, chow meow or lemon chicken. These food are basically kfc or McDonald’s in my home country . I order pork belly green onion hotpot , the pork belly melt in my mouth first bite. Order food like hotpot or ask the waiter or waitress about what is original and what is not .
We had several dishes and all were delicious. The Pepper-Salt Shrimp was the highlight. The Szechuan noodles were very good, but spicy! The service was attentive, but not too fussy. Highly recommended.
My daughter wanted Chinese food so we decided to order from Dragon King. I haven’t eaten from Dragon King for years but decided to order here for a change. The food is definitely not what it used to be. We ordered the house fried rice, ginger beef, and chicken chow mein. The chow mein was absolutely tasteless—aside from the taste of oil, the fried rice was decent but still lacked lots of flavour, and the ginger beef coating was gooey and dry inside. I decided to call and let them know that the food was not what it used to be and that I was disappointed. The owner did not offer any sort of refund, in-store credit, or an apology for the food. The owner said that customers can customize their dinner in terms of sauce etc… Nowhere does it say this on their menu and it was also not offered when ordering. As someone who has worked in the food service industry for over 40 years, this was not quality food or customer service. If I could give zero stars, I would, however the lowest option is 1 star. Save your money and don’t order from this restaurant.
Spacious restaurant, classic vinyl benches but comfortable enough. Decent food dosent rock the world but will satisfy that craving for Chinese food.
if u miss Hongkong or chinese food this restaurant is a must dine in, we went last night and it was all delicious,i love the roast duck and the roast pork,crab and beef , fried rice. was really good.everything was soo good, even drinks. very friendly staff and soo clean.
Ugust 2024-Dim sum lunch was authenticly prepared and served in steamers. Good size portions. Sticky rice was well done in the lotus leaves with pieces of chicken, mushroom, and sausage. Salt and pepper squid pieces were lightly deep fried and tender. Dumplings were moist and tasty. 4 portion sizes are between $12 and $14. Jasmine tea was hot and pleasant for $3. Didn't order some overpriced items like Gailan(Chinese brocoli) for $14. Dec 2024- food was great as usual, but was busy at lunchtime, so it took 1 hour before fully served food. No apologies, but said the steamer was full.
Used to be great years ago. But now the fact they will only deliver using skip, doordash, or uber is ridiculous. Wont even take orders over the phone anymore.
Very good food. Lots of Gluten-free and vegan dishes to choose from which are very tasty. Highly recommended.
We had the Roast Pork Belly and pork/shrimp dumplings, egg foo young and yang chow rice. The food was delicious. It was a busy Sunday but the servers made sure we were looked after..
Came for Dim Sum. We were not disappointed! Everything is made in house and it was delicious. Will definitely be coming back. My 5 year old loved the steamed buns and the garlic Gai-lan.
Amazing authentic dimsum available afternoons. Chinese food very high quality.
Raw chicken and absolutely horrible service
First time customer. The chicken was served raw (pink & gooey), food came out at random times. The server was not attentive, condescending, did not listen to customer requests properly, and argued with customers about how the chicken is prepared . Do not spend your money here. 0 stars
Table of 6 for dim sum. Service was patient informative, which was great for the newbies to dim sum. Most of the food was good, but the bbq pork buns were delicious! The only complaint I have, was the ignorant customer from another table, who thought it was necessary to yell and be verbally abusive to the server. That wasn t enough, so he came here to finish the job. Please try the bbq pork buns! My friends said the bean buns were also delicious.
Delicious color and fragrance, recommend this store
Very good. Planning to go back for Dim Sum.
My family and I eat here often. The food is always fresh, delicious and the service is very good! Thank you Celia Liang!! See you soon Dragon King!
Excellent Chinese food! The food was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and kind
Delicious food, clean restaurant, and friendly staff. Me and my family loved dining here!
Best Chinese food I had in Kelowna! Portion size is perfect on an empty stomach. A plus is that they have many vegan and gluten free options!
Overall great experience! The service was quick, the staff was so kind, and the food was amazing for its price.
We have had dinner at this wonderful restaurant multiple times and it never fails to impress. Great food, friendly and helpful service and a pleasant decor.
Great service and great variety of food, pretty authentic.
As an Asian fellow, I was very pleased with my experience here. Food came fast and was very flavourful. The food was authentic and very tasty. Big space and very clean. Bathroom also had led lights
All in all good was great minus the two dishes which I consider the staples.. the ginger beef was vinegary and chowmein was bland
The food was not what I expected for a higher dining experience.
came back to canada after a few years and loved it here! my favorite dish was the lettuce wrap. theres a variety of authentic dishes to chose from. will definitely be coming back again when im in town!
Hot and sour soup is pretty good. Great atmosphere and service.
Walked in to try to order, stood at door for 10 mins and no acknowledgement, nothing. Was completely ignored at the door. Had high hopes to order and eat their food.
My family had the pleasure of eating here twice while we were in Kelowna. It was so good the first night we needed to skip any other restaurants of interest and go back the next day The garlic gai lan was the best Ive ever had. The service was great The BBQ meat was great. I miss it already
A group meal for a tour group, but nothing is missing
Best, close to authentic Chinese food place in Kelowna.
Best in Kelowna
Good value for money
Ordered through UberEats. Delivery exactly on time. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. 180$ fed 12 people with lots of food left over. Everyone enjoyed it. Would definitely order again. Thank you
Thank you for such Great Service for Amazing Fresh Quality Stir-fry around my Difficult Food Allergies! I feel honored and privileged for your help create a meal I enjoyed and would so return to have again. Dietary restrictions: Great assistance and Understanding dealing with Nightshade Allergies and Pork Allergies.
Very good sweet and sour pork.
Went for dim sum, been curd.was over cooked, sticky rice had no flavour just really sticky and not much besides rice. Dumplings were good.
Loved the chicken corn cream soup and chicken fried rice. Very good portion size for the price, friendly people and staff, and our food came out quickly. Lovely atmosphere for our toddler who also really enjoyed the food! Would definitely come again and try other menu items
There is not a lot of good places in Kelowna to get Chinese food, but we always enjoy it here. Do keep up the good work
My husband and I brought our youngest out for a quiet Tuesday night dinner. We were blown away with the new menu at Dragon King. The flavours and new menu options were incredible! Bathrooms are very modern and clean, music and atmosphere- comfortable and relaxing. It was like a taste of modern Vancouver with the casual comfort of Kelowna! Highly recommend!
Very slow. We arrived at 5pm and placed our order immediately. It s now 6pm and food has not come out yet. Waitress is always making excuses. Do not eat here!!!!
Family night with kids and grand daughter, was wonderful evening
DK never disappoints. My go-to Chinese food in Kelowna. Love getting a huge DK spread and eating it for days.
Had a wondeful experience at dragon king. I brought my family to get a taste of dim sum and it was a fantastic first time for them. The atmosphere is very nice andnthe service was equally as great. You need to go for the dim sum as its a great bang for your buck and everything was rich in flavour. It was unfortunate that they had ran out of gai lan but nevertheless the food was delicious. Must haves are the pork dumplings and the black bean squid!!!! All in all this place packs a wonderful experience without costing and arm and a leg. Thank you for your service and for the tasty flavours
Amazing service Wanted to try their dim sum which is the reason why we went, but we came in the evening, they only serve it from 11-2, note that Food was great in the end and we look forward to try their lunch menu at some point
home life is bad, so i do take out a lot. this place has amazing food. not cheap, but worth every dollar. best shrimp chow mein and fried rice. so many shrimp and prawns. egg foo is awesome. the seating area is very nice, washrooms are awesome. curried prawns and veg is spectacular. very classy place. Vegetarian options: cant speak to vegan options but abundant for vegetarians. tasty, fresh and great portions.
Yummy Chinese food. Decent quality dim sum and authentic canto food.
Great cantonese-style cuisine with authentic tastes and selections
Just getting over a cold I was in serious need of Won Ton soup and chow mein and spring rolls. It arrived fast and super hot. I placed my order on the counter and began carefully pouring the soup stock into the main portion. I decided to try it. I ended up devouring it, while standing at the counter in 3 sessions, so I could breathe. When I was finished I looked up at the sky and thanked the gods (and Dragon King) for making a soup that should be illegal. That noodle Won Ton soup helped me regain health by putting me in a good mood. Thank you! The rest was tasty too!
yum
The food is delicious and great customer service
Ordered Dragon King awhile back - about a 70$ order, food was absolutely terrible. Contacted them and told them what was wrong with the order and how the food was inedible as we had to throw it all awhile. No one would contact us back and just kept saying the manager would get back to us. Well weeks later and still haven t heard back. Would not recommend anyone waste their money here.
Great food!. VEGGIES really fresh.
I really enjoyed the food here. The servers were very polite as well. Mhmmhm Shumai
The best Chinese I ve had in kelowna! Loved it!
Great food, awesome service . I continue to get my Chinese food from them .
First going there really good food minus the long hair we found in a item. Was quickly replaced. The staff was very friendly.
Legit dim sum.
I visited on Saturday lunch time It was not busy,yet. We order some of dimsum. We wait more than 1 hour. Also more food was delivered faster to those who came later in the restaurant. Noodles were too soft and not hot enough. I think this restaurant is not recommended for others.
Dragon King was one of our go-tos for the freshness of their veggies, and for chicken balls that actually has a good portion of chicken. This changed last Friday, the chicken balls were mostly bread with very little chicken, and the Cashew Chicken was barely edible, we both had a small portion and couldnt force ourself to eat any more, it looked and tasted like it was several days old with the veggies looking pretty brownish and already spoiling. Heres a pic of our supposed fresh Cashew Chicken, and the chicken was so gristley and stringy, we never finished it and well never return.
If your visiting in Kelowna, stop by here. Awesome, excellent and friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Worst place to get Chinese food, waited for an hour just get processed food, nothing is fresh. Tea is charged. Overpriced as well.
Delicious food. Very clean and updated. Will definitely return.
Great service very officiant food arrived very quickly
Always the best; the dim sum and all the other dishes are so beautifully made with high quality ingredients relaxing atmosphere with impeccable service.
Good food. Great service.
Worst service in my lifetime and a very rude manager! We left before our order came after 1hr waiting!
Great food and service
Pros: The ginger beef & chicken gyoza were very good. Definitely recommend these! Even my 2 year old ate it! Highly Not Recommended: We ordered the honey garlic chicken and it was so rubbery that you couldnt cut it with a knife, let alone eat it! Very dissappointed and a waste of money.
As I was concentrating on driving, my babys mama told me she saw a restaurant called Dragon King. Since Kelowna is not known for its Asian influence, I dismissed it because the name doesnt sound authentic Chinese (you all know what Im saying). However on my way back down the street in the other direction I noticed the detailed design of the building and was curious to find out more. Upon entering I was impressed by the interior decoration and had to give it a try with low expectations. I give this restaurant my 5 stars as Ive been here twice now and have brought some elders from my family who also approve. We had dimsum and also ordered the house special fried noodles (something we kind of use as a metric) and were satisfied. Im from Vancouver, a Chinese food capital of the world, and as a result, have been greatly aware of the difficulties in finding good Chinese restaurants by comparison throughout the rest of the world. Despite not being located near an ocean for fresh seafood, there wasnt anything that we found to be unacceptable. One member of my family noted that Dragon King is far better than the place they went to in Auckland New Zealand which has a significant Asian population and is also near the ocean. Personally I would say that I havent dared to eat at a Chinese restaurant in the USA (along the Pacific) for over a decade for the same reason. The staff here are very good on top of that and the prices are what I consider pre-pandemic Vancouver which is about 15% lower. I have looked at other Kelowna Asian/Chinese restaurants reviews and driven past to compare but am fairly confident there is no competition overall. Photos to follow.
Very good Dim Sum!
Food was served really quickly but the quality was really disappointing. Not going to repeat this place again.
Good food reasonable rice and good ambiance
Delicious Chinese food, the Cantonese style noodles are very good, the environment is very good, hygienic and clean!
The food was ok. Paying 2.50 per spring roll you would think they would serve some sort of better quality sauce to dip but it was just the little packets. Nasty. The chili paste on the table went a little off. The vegetables in the kung bao was very fresh. Nice and crispy but the sauce needed a little bit of a better flavor was bit bland. The chicken was steamed and lacked classical Chinese velevting. The gyoza was nice too. The service was good as well. I would recommend it to all due to freshness, definitely a major attribute.
Order from Uber Eats the chicken Kung Bao, curry shrimp and a side bowl of rice. Full veggies, tons of chicken and shrimps, awesome taste, fast delivery, would recommend to everyone!
Ive only been here once and my experience was alright. Its not too expensive if you order the dinner for one and split it with someone, they are pretty large so there is enough for two people. The only thing that I didnt really like is with the dinner for one we were only allowed to change one of the items that it came with. We were told by our server that we couldnt substitute anymore of the items that it came with which I thought was kinda dumb. It gets really expensive once you get into the dinner for 2 +. The atmosphere was kinda plain Jane and think there was only one or two more tables in the restaurant besides us. I didnt find out server overly friendly. I wont be jumping to go back anytime soon but also wouldnt complain if I had to. Thats just my opinion and experience.
Excellent service and delicious food.special credit for the chef
Not impressed. Really bland food other than heat. Szechwan beef tasted the same as beef fat noodles. What a shame
Loved the dim-sum!
The food is delicious and Celia is very friendly. I go there for my chinese dinners! Food
I have several food restrictions and they made sure that the food didnt contain things that I cant eat. The food was fresh and hot, with generous portions. The best Chinese food that Ive had in a long time.
Call first as we drove all the way for dim sum and got there and they said no dim sum.
By far the best Chinese cuisine in Kelowna! Generous portions, tasty, fresh, great presentation and prices. Food
Great dim sum, difficult to find in the Okanagan.
For what you get, prices are high, portions are average. Flavor is nothing special, sadly. Very mediocre. Parking: Big parking lot
Wonderful staff and delicious dim sum! You re gonna love it and do order the sesame balls!
Order was supposed to be ready at 5:45. Husband waited 55 minutes...and still didnt get complete order! Was our first time trying this place...which came recommended...sadly disappointed. Hopefully it tastes ok!!!
Friendly staff, reasonable price, big/shareable portions.
Nice interior and staff. Great house specialty fried rice.
Not a paid rating. Had dim sum. It was all nicely sauced. Not overbearing, had a wide variety of dishes including some that non Chinese people have. Was looking for good feng Zhao (chicken feet) and found it here along with garlic vegetables, riblets pork steamed buns, sticky rice, pot stickers...
Its closed at the location shown and the new location is terrible food and staff.
New location is very nice and Dim Sum is so good. Good prices!
So disappointing, we could not eat the food it had no taste and poor quality all around.
Took my Mom here for lunch over the weekend. She hasnt stopped talking about how good it was. Well definitely be back
Food is excellent and service is always friendly.
Good food. Good value.
Dim sum was great and service was excellent too!! I was really impressed! Keep up the great work!!
This restaurant is on Doordash for food delivery to your home or office. You can call in for take out and pick it up yourself. You can see their menu online. Wasnt too impressed. But thats my opinion.
Great Chinese food!
Enjoy their Ginger beef
Really good food here I like the wor wonton soup they make really great I come back again to order from here
Close little be early. But love it that I spent time with my friends.
First time dining here but not the last! Not too busy of a night. Service was very friendly and good. Food excellent. Didnt have to wait very long, food was hot and delicious. We took a dinner for two and the portions very generous. Highly recommend this to all. Decor is also very inviting and cosy, just a great evening.
Great food and service
Very good food and service
Went for the lunch Dim Sum, and found it to be very good. Portions were great and service was top notch. We will go again.
Had japanese noodles and dim sum with a friend was really good.
Visited the new Dragon King location today. I used to rate the food at the old location as good as Vancouver Chinese cuisine, but my recent visit to the new location was very dissaponiting. Food was not what I remembered. Gone really downhill. Probably wont come back again... thats too bad!!
Amazing place for dim sum and always consistently delicious food. Very friendly staff and owner Alan. One of our regular favourite dine-ins
Great service. Super clean inside and the owner is super involved in keeping their customers happy! Well trained staff as well!
I anit never been to China but this was not your typical Chinese food. I live in Revy, all we have is westernised Chinese restaurant that cant even seem to do that right. The food at Dragon King is proper good. I over ate as i usually do at Chinese restaurants and felt fine afterwards. Usually after gorging at a MSG special all night i feel regret for my life choice but this was not the case at the Dragon King. Spot on guys!
It s a very nice place to eat.
Great food, friendly staff and owners. Will be back again!
Get the Wonton soup Thank me later. Veggies are real and cooked perfectly every time
food did not have any flavor..!!
They service very good price and delicious Chinese food. Even we are from Vancouver have dined in lots of Chinese restaurant, it is the best one. Definitely will come back.
Once again we had a great evening meal at Dragon King. The food was excellent and as always plentiful. With friendly service and value for money this is a recommended restaurant!
Place is clean ! Grab a take out and I can say the food is nice and good ! The staff are nice and the place is clean !
Popped in for a last minute dinner out and was more than pleasantly satisfied with our dishes. Food was served hot, beautifully plated, and incredibly delicious. We ordered three different dishes than we would normally order and really happy we did. The salt and pepper squid, sizzling hot plate and Shanghai noodles were amazing! We will be back!
But whats with the packing tape on take out!
Love the dim sum. Been twice now.
We went for dim sum and ordered probably 5 too many plates. It was delicious. Well be back Im sure.
Great good ! Awesome !
The best Chinese food in my USA Canada tour !
Never disappointed
Was very good food other than the over cooked squid in the Wontton soup... was like eating rubber or cartilage..
Fresh Dim Sum, great service with friendly staff. Restaurant is clean with a good atmosphere but a little pricey. Highly recommend.
Best Dim sum
Delicious food, top quality service - I would recommend to all looking for something tasty to eat
We got take out from this restaurant. It was really good food. My wife and I were super impressed. The food we had was really good quality. The only complaint would be that they were slow. We ordered our food about two hours before pickup and they were still late. Would highly recommend this place you anyone!
Great food and great service! A fantastic mix of North American Chinese food and authentic Chinese food. I dont eat seafood, but my wife and daughter cant wait to have their prawns again, they said it was the best theyve had!
My favorite dim sum in town. I havent actually been for anything else but the stuff is very fast, friendly, and efficient.
Have been there a few times..but food is getting saltier..I dont think will go back.
Busy for Valentines. Staff was working hard. Food came fairly quickly and good dim sum. Missed prawn and scallop dumplings but good, fresh food.
Solid place for some authentic chinese food in the okanagan. Good size portions and I would average pricing. My only thing was the fried rice was sticky. It might of just been a one off. I definitely will eat here again. Nice ambience and decor.
The place looks like a very nice Chinese restaurant but the food is just okay.
Terrible do not order from here. Theres no sauce at all the meat is so dry i want a refund. This is terrible. Dragin king. I demand a refund and for all those reading this go to Chinese laundry cuz dragon King is seriously garbage.. u will regret it
An excellent choice if you like/love Chinese food. Inside is tastefully decorated. There is a patio which will hopefully open soon. The menu is huge. Great combos for 1; 2; 3 and more. Reasonably priced-service is excellent. We have loved their food when the restaurant was downtown and love it as much today. There is ample parking; not as visible from the highway but well worth it.
Really good ping pong. Little more pricey but worth it. Dry ribs and the 2 part won ton soup , sooooo good!
Ordered chicken fried rice, chicken chow main, and two orders of sweet and sour chicken calls, all of the chicken was soggy, chewy, and full of fat. Never ordering here again. Steer clear.
Great food with reasonable prices
I usually don t write a review for food even if it s not really good or what I expected, but my experience with Dragon king today was just terrible, complete waste of money. I ordered Chicken fried rice and a spring roll for lunch. The food was ready with in 15 mins but most of the chicken pieces in chicken fried rice were uncooked and tasted really bad I couldn t eat it after couple of bites. Same with the spring roll it was just terrible, I had to throw it in trash after just a bite. It made me feel like I am going to get sick. I am very disappointed and will never go here again.
Good Dim sum, good size portions, reasonable prices
Good food great service
I don t like it very much, and I don t recommend the snacks.
Horrible customer service by the lady in the photo.
Best Dim Sum in town!
Best Chinese food in the Okanagan
Good Chinese food in Kelowna
Good food but honestly kinda oily.
Best restaurant!
They have fabulous food, an extensive menu, prompt service. Their daily dim sum dishes are delicious and prices are very reasonable. This is my favorite Chinese restaurant!
We enjoyed a very nice meal - ultra clean and well appointed restaurant. My hotpot was cooked to perfection and my husbands beef with vegetables in pepper sauce was beautifully prepared with lots of peppercorns. Service was professional!
I LOVE THEIR LAVER SOUP AND FRIED RICE! their soup is always amazing, altho I would prefer more seaweed but it was such a good combo with their shrimp fried rice.
Worst wonton soup I ve had in my life
Food was delicious
We go here alot. So fresh... so good. Weve tried other Chinese food places in town with no comparison. Always keep coming back to Dragon King & thats where well remain. Yum!!
The Best Dim Sum!!!!
Not good. Im sure they have something they do well on the menu but the chicken dishes I enjoy when done well were not worth eating. When I enjoy greasy fatty foods like this they need to be done well. Im not going to regret the food I ate when I have my heart attack. Almond chicken, lemon chicken, chicken chow mein and rice. All chicken was strangly chewy and not of quality.
The taste is average but very affordable.
The only thing good here was the server. The dim sum was such a disappointment. The shrimp dumplings were a glob of goo with a very nasty clump of shrimp inside...the pork dumplings and meatballs had the consistency of canned dogwood.. the sticky rice wrap had a surprise inside that was a 2 inch hard mystery meat that looked like a wax finger...the pork ribs were bones with mainly chunks of fat...paid $68 for 2...not worth it
Won ton soup flavorless, broccoli with garlic no sauce . As evacuees very dissatisfied.
Love the dry ribs
The best western Chinese food in the Okanagan. Just dont be expecting anything close to lower mainland level of authentic Chinese food or Dim Sum.
Best Chinese food restaurant in Kelowna.. Dim Sum is excellent and there staff is great
Pretty horrid case of food poisoning after eating dinner here last night. My husband, son and myself had a long night reliving this disgusting repast in the bathroom. Just adore it when I get to eat bland, overpriced, revolting food and then spend the next 10 hours in gut wrenching pain as my body tries to rid itself of it.
Great food and excellent service
Fantastic food and served hot Service was great Large portions
Everything was great. Good service and good food. Nice decor.
Relaxing atmosphere, kind patrons and beautifully decorated restaurant with food that exceeded expectations.
The best Chinese food in Kelowna period. Dont waste your time with those imposters, DK is where its at
First time dim sum and the. Bbq pork buns are super delish
Some of the best Chinese food Ive ever had!! Great value too!
Just picked up food, but it was excellent!
not to bad, priced a bit high for comparable quality Chinese food in town
Very great food, and service
Very good food with a great price. Very good service.
Really great food. Dim Sum. Best Cantonese food in the Okanagan! Very friendly service.
Love the food and the service. Super nice people and the food is quick and filling.
Excellent food and service. Friendly staff. Good canadian chinese food
Excellent food with generous portions at reasonable prices. Great service and well sanitized for Covid-19 conditions.
The chinese wonton and honey garlic pork was very tastey and well I only ate there once but it was good no complaints here
Great food and great service
Fantastic food and service! Very friendly and generous portions
Terrible dim sum.
Nice decor and atmosphere .Good service and typical Cantonese food lives up to a Chinese expectation .
