Ordered pickup. Dinner for two. They said they only accept cash. They literally put a half dozen fortune cookies in the deep fryer and bagged them up as one of the dishes. Food seemed old and gross. Vegetables were smelly. Will never eat there again. Total was almost $30 for $12 worth of actual food. I'm not eating the deep fried fortune cookies...

Very disappointed after spending $150 worth of food very very oily and no chicken in the chicken balls and the so called jumbo shrimp ahhh you are lucky if you got a salad shrimp over all the food was disgusted never never will you see me back there no wonder they got no customers

Your food is always excellent but since you changed your containers too smaller ones with the platic domes our food was just luckwarm when we recived it. Not a very good thing to do to your customers. hope you get rid of those plastic domes soon. Please and thank you.

Had take out. Food is just average. Vegetables way overcooked and mushy. Egg rolls overpriced compared to competition. Jar doo wings were actually very good. Disappointing

December 16, 2023

Horrible garbage customer service. Told us 20 minutes and then went well past 40 minutes. We asked to add a dish which we were OK to wait for but they straight up refused to do so. Unprofessional staff drinking tea in the storefront and playing with their phones, staff in the back yelling at each other like a bunch of toddlers left alone in a kitchen full of hazards. We ended up walking out because of their rude and unprofessional ways and then they have audacity to still call us and ask us to come and pick up the food. Plz go anywhere else other than this ghetto wannabe oriental restaurant.

The atmosphere was great because I got take out. The restaurant itself needs a complete makeover. It is a little scary. It's definitely a place you don't judge by the look.

Ordered seet and sour chicken balls , tasted liked old oil and awful. Sweet and sour had too much color n no flavor. Never ordering again

I placed a pick order here. They have a wide selection on the menu and it combos have a good price and selection. The restaurant itself has no one in it and was very dated. They do have a buffet there if you ever wanted to eat in. However my pick up order took 2 hours. It ran a half hour longer then was told. It was a holiday so it is understandable but a long time nonetheless..... My order was hot and tasty. I did enjoy the beef and vegetables, rice and sweet and sour spare ribs. I would order from here again.

This place has great food but the store looks closed and in desperate need of an update. So much potential. Bring back the buffet. Only open for take out Vegetarian options: They can make it vegetarian upon request Parking: Very limited due to multiple business surrounding the area.

Food is clearly microwaved. Bland, no colour in vegetables. Greasy chicken balls, sauce tasted like vinegar. Wantons were brown and too hard, so went straight into the trash. Saved an evening of cooking, but was a huge letdown.

Overpriced now. They force you to have those chips as an item that nobody wants. Portions are smaller and Just not good enough to justify the price.

THIS PLACE IS A COMPLETE JOKE. I TRIED TO ORDER FOUR LARGE PLATES. ALL I WANTED WAS THE ORANGE SAUCE ON THE SIDE. I WAS THERE A MONTH AGO GUY CHARGED ME A BUCK FOR THE CONTAINER (NO ISSUE WITH THAT) CALLED TODAY TO ORDER AGAIN AND THE LADY WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE WOULDNT DO CAUSE IT WOULD INCONVENIENCE THE COOK. HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO WRITE S.O.S (SAUCE ON SIDE). TOLD HER TO CANCEL THE ORDER SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE COULD DO IT BUT ONLY ONCE THIS TIME. THIS PLACE HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. TODAY YOU LOST A CUSTOMER WHOS BEEN COMING HERE FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS

Disappointed. I wanted to try and support local. But will try somewhere else next time. Jumbo shrimp are all dough with almost no shrimp in them, All the sauces taste the same. Wontons were extremely over cooked. All and all just not a great meal. I hope its just an off day for them. People are super friendly!! Wish them the best

I decided to try this place on the advice of a friend who insisted that the pork fried rice was to die for. As i walked up to the place and saw the dirty windows and faded signs I was concerned , but i have eaten many meals from places that look like they need repairs and been happy with them, not so here. The pork fried rice was nothing special but after a few mouthfuls i felt this coating in my mouth and down my throat, like i had eaten a spoonful of lard or something. You could not taste it, but it was there, repulsive! I didnt even finish the dish and i gave some to the friend who had recommended it in the first place and he was disgusted as well. I will not be eating here again, I urge others to eat elsewhere.

Get place for Chinese food simple food that you understand . Personally I love their combination places. They do have a buffet on the weekends which you can try different foods. we ordered dinner for 2 and it came super fast and was nice and hot. chicken balls were crispy and delicious as wee the egg rolls, the rice and ding had plenty of chicken and the wonton soup broth was tasty. definitely better than most other chinese take out in town. would recommend.

This is the worst tasting Chinese food ive ever had. go somewhere else. cold food, small portions. bad customer service.

This is and has been our favourite and only place to order Chinese food from for many, many years! It is always great and very consistent. The service is exceptional unlike another well known very longstanding restaurant in Sarnia and the quality and taste of the food is not even comparable. Whether you pick up or choose delivery the food is always hot and delicious. There is always plenty of food for everyone when we order the family dinners and leftovers for lunch also.

Ordered vegetable Lo mein (as it is always my favourite at any Chinese restaurant), but what we got was vegetable ding thrown on top of Lo mein noodles. Therefore, the noodles are just swimming in liquid, and tastes nothing like expected. It s not that it tasted bad, but this is not vegetable Lo mein in comparison to every other vegetable Lo mein dish I ve ever had. Next time, I ll just wait til Manchu Wok is open.

I love the Dragon Palace! The staff is super friendly! The food always comes out piping hot and fresh! The portions are great and the price is proportional to the amount. Take out is always hot, fresh and fast! Highly recommend the Dragon Palace!

The food was very bland and was very disappointment in the sauces. In the veggie rice there werent any veggies and when I ordered the veggies with steak it was mostly celery. My oldest ordered the shrimp and lobster and there was mostly pork. My oldest doesnt eat pork, chicken, or beef so it made her feel ill later on. New to the city and wanted to try new places and this is one we will never ever go back to. Also almost completely empty for lunch

Went in to eat just before 5 pm on a Tuesday. Only 2 people sitting and they werent eating. Ordered large combo (veg fried rice and 2 sides) Food was at our table in less than 1 minute so we knew nothing was fresh. No vegetables in the rice, the side of fried wontons was 3 wontons, and the side of ribs were 4 small pieces. Looked into our water glasses and discovered all 3 of them had black and red things in them, they had wings so we knew they were bugs of some kind!!! Destroyed OUR appetites! Never never never eat in this place!!!!

Worst service ever! We waited 45 min and then told there was no cook. It would be at least an extra half hour. How is this possible when takeout orders were processed?

Literally the most FRIENDLIEST and most kindest Chinese Food Restaurant that Ive ordered take-out in my entire life. The food was made quick and hot to order. Very spacious interior. Tasty food. I ordered the $7 large combo and added 2 options like Chicken balls and chop suey. I admit, it was a tad difficult to locate at first, but man Im glad I did.

Food tasted good. Portions could be a bit bigger. My pet peeve is tiny pieces of chicken in the chicken balls, and unfortunately this was the case here. Even worse, the sweet and sour shrimp looked lime the shrimps were sliced into thirds for each piece. Mostly breading. I always am sceptacle when places cheap out on portions if they also try to save on quality and freshness as well. On a pisitive note the food tasted pretty good and the owner was pleasant.

We ordered take-out from Dragon Palace. The food was super hot and on -time. Price was reasonable and the food was great. No complaints at all. The menu is a little plain and there werent a lot of spicy dishes, but it did have all of the usual American-Chinese options.
