Dragonland — Restaurant in Torcy

May 2025 update: Stopped by for dinner on a Saturday without reservation and we were seated immediately. Menu is extensive, service is very friendly and efficient with hot plates of food being delivered to the table just a few minutes after ordering – very impressive! I always order the black pepper beef and noodles which is always tasty and delicious. This is the place to come if you are looking for very good Chinese food delivered quickly after ordering.

December 2024 update: Stopped by on a Saturday evening and again we were seated promptly as only a few tables were occupied. Overall again the service was very good and food was served hot and most was delivered promptly after placing our orders except for the steamed dumplings. Unfortunately, the biggest negative thing to say here is that I had food poisoning that lasted 24 hours from something I ate (I suspect it was the shrimp that were not fresh and tasted off). As I said previously, more care and attention must be given to preservation and preparation of items cooked and served in this restaurant - until I am assured that the restaurant has taken this feedback seriously and have made the necessary changes, I will not be back.

September 2024 update: Stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon around 12noon and were seated promptly as only a few tables were occupied. Overall again the service was very good and food was served hot and delivered promptly after placing our orders. Menu items were served hot and were tasty. Would like to see a bit more care and attention given to items cooked and served.

August 2023: Our small group of five stopped by on a Monday evening without reservation and were seated promptly after arrival. Although it took a few minutes to take our order after drinks, overall service was very good and food was served hot and delivered promptly after placing our orders.

Started with a large Shrimp Spring Roll (Cold) which was fresh and tasty. Also ordered the Small Spring Rolls (Nem), steamed shrimp dumplings, Scallops with Spicy Sauce and Shrimp in Fritters which were also served hot and tasty.

For the main course, ordered Beef with Black Pepper and mushrooms which was my favorite dish served on a hot platter which kept the beef hot. Also ordered the Fillet of Lamb with Black Pepper which was also served on a hot platter and was very tasty. The green vegetable Liseron d'eau (water spinach) was also served hot and was very good. Overall, this is a very good Chinese restaurant with very good food and service at reasonable prices that you should try if you are in the...

Restaurant chinois avec principalement des spécialités cantonaise, situé proche de la gare de Torcy (un des premiers qu'on aperçoit juste en face arrivé sur l'esplanade). Le restaurant est tout récent est n'est ouvert que depuis le mois de juin mais il me semble très prometteur. J'ai eu la chance de connaître ce restaurant grâce à une amie, Eva, dont les parents et l'oncle sont les gérants. Autant que les grands classiques restaurants cantonais de Paris 13e, la salle est grande, les clients sont quasiment tous asiatiques, et il y avait je trouve plutôt pas mal de monde pour un dimanche midi dans un jeune restaurant. Cela me semble bon signe.

Le choix n'était pas facile vu tout ce qui est proposé mais je suis resté sur les bases d'un bon cantonais : dim sum et rôtisseries. ☝ J'ai pris en plus un riz sauté teochew pour changer, d'autant plus que mon amie me le conseillait parmi les différents plats de riz sauté. La description qu'elle m'en avait donné m'a convaincu. :)

Concernant les dim sum, j'ai opté pour un assortiment à la vapeur. Les raviolis vapeur et bouchées étaient corrects. J'ai pris plaisir à les déguster, tous aussi bons les uns que les autres.

Pour ce qui est de la partie rôtisseries, j'ai choisi la double rôtisserie (vous l'aurez compris, quand il y a possibilité de goûter un maximum d'aliments différent, je saute dessus !), à savoir canard et porc laqué. Pour le coup, j'ai eu une assez large préférence pour le canard et beaucoup moins convaincu par le porc qui n'était tout de même pas mauvais. En plus d'avoir une belle couleur, le canard était bien goûteux. 👌

J'ai véritablement aimé le riz sauté teochew qui s'est effectivement révélé comme un excellent choix. Le riz sauté était une réussite en plus d'être très complet avec les crevettes, le porc, les légumes... tout ce que j'adore ! Très bon riz teochew ! 😍

Mais ce n'est pas terminé ! J'ai eu le privilège de goûter un cocktail fait par Eva, cocktail offert en plus ! Il s'agissait d'un cocktail à base de rhum avec du citron, de la glace vanille et du coca. Le cocktail était intéressant avec un mélange des saveurs convainquant pour une bonne homogénéité. À quand le bar ? Où les cocktails à la carte ? :p

Si vous passez dans le coin,...

Dragonland is a canteen-style Chinese restaurant where the price is affordable and the service is fast. It's located in the restaurant promenade of the Bay 2 shopping center in the town of Torcy and is less than half an hour's drive from Disneyland Paris. The dishes are simple and mastered and almost traditionally prepared with natural ingredients. The quantity of each dish is sufficient. The restaurant has a few tables on the terrace outside and a dining room inside. The kitchen is open air in front of the dining room. No comment on...
