I LOVE Twin Dragon in Auburn! It's what every other Chinese restaurant wishes it could be. I can't find anything else that tastes like their style of Chinese food. It's not what you think of when most people think of American Chinese food... It's quality, not greasy, no msg, and again, their flavor profiles are so unique. One of my favorite things to order is literally chow mein, only noodles and sauce, no veggies or meat. Sounds boring, right? Well if you can make something as basic as literally a bowl of noodles with flavor, but have that flavor be so good that you're willing to drive hundreds of miles to satisfy the urge... You've clearly made one epic bowl of noodles. Quality food, great flavor, lovely service, good environment, perfect town, amazing memories, decent prices, and best of all you're in Auburn. What a better way to finish an amazing meal than to step out of the restaurant into such an amazing little town nestled in the gorgeous foothills of Gold Country! After writing this review I'm tempted to drive the 600 miles just to experience everything I just said again. Oh Twin Dragon, Auburn, California, how...
Read moreTook a chance on a new place. Their online menu prices don’t reflect their takeout prices. We ordered honey walnut shrimp/prawns, chicken chow mein, mandarin chicken, and steamed rice.
The shrimp were served on a bed of wilted lettuce, that stuck to the thick sauce. Slightly soggy, but decent taste wise, large, with a good portion size nonetheless. The chicken chow mein was okay, nothing impressive. The rice was, well, rice.
However, the mandarin chicken was awful. It was sticky mush that was desperately lacking flavor. We are only 15 minutes out from the restaurant, freshly fried chicken should NOT be that soggy. Tasted like it was under a warmer all day. I could’ve gotten better chicken from the freezer aisle.
I calculated the price on the menu, with tip, my total should have been around $67, I was overcharged $10 for god knows what, and ended up paying almost $80. Overall, the food was extremely disappointing. I won’t eat here again, and will discourage others to...
Read moreA neighbor suggested this place, so once inside, it isn’t anything special to see, but was quickly seated at a table and presented a menu. A large selection of various prepared items of meats, vegetables, noodles, etc. I ordered an old favorite of Kung Pao and it was very good. The prices are average. The waitress was friendly, took my order quickly, and the food was quickly delivered to my table and well prepared, hot and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant for the food, but the owner was rude when I tried to take photos. When I later saw online of all the great reviews, I didn’t understand why the owner was so rude to me upon my question to her about doing a review. Anyway, the server was nice and the food was very good, and I would recommend at this time, but if I’m treated rudely again, I will update my review,...
