China Dragon — Restaurant in Corona

China Dragon is AMAZING, they have the freshest, most flavorful food and their service is outstanding. I have been there twice, the first time was for dinner, we ordered lemon chicken, kung pao chicken, chow mein and fried rice. To my surprise they brought us these very tasty wonton chips and dipping sauce while we waited for our food, they were so good, then they brought over a bowl of soup, these two items did not come with our meal, they were extra items they served to us! When we dug into the main course, it was the best lemon chicken I have ever had, lightly breaded and crisp, chicken very tender and flavorful, Kung pao was also very delicious, it really stood out how fresh, tender and flavorful the chicken tasted for both dishes. When we were done, they brought us some warm towels to wash our hands and gave me a to go cup for my soda. Everyone who works there were so kind and attentive. My first experience was so great I went back for lunch and ordered food to go, Orange Chicken, fried rice and vegetable eggs rolls. After I paid they asked me to have a seat, while I waited they served me the wonton chips and sauce again! The Orange Chicken was the best I've ever tasted same goes for the tasty vegetable egg rolls. I can tell they took time to package the food well, the egg rolls were separate, orange chicken packaged in its own container too with a piece of foil underneath to keep the sauce from leaking out of the carton. Obviously, I notice the fine details but it really does make a difference once you get the food home to eat. This is my new to go place for Chinese food. I'm not one to write reviews but wanted to give them the recognition...

China Dragon was a new spot we were trying. The food was made fresh, the employees were kind in greeting, and offered fried wonton chips with sweet &sour sauce while we waited. We did not eat them as several of them were prepped before hand and sat out in the open, so we opted to not eat them.

We ordered an appetizer: ●The BBQ Sliced Pork w/ Sautéed BBQ Sauce. Thoughts: ●The pork was flat, dry, and not juicy, but the flavor was okay.

For entrees we ordered: ●Combination Shrimp Fried Rice ●Chicken Pad Thai ●General Chow's Chicken w/ Chow Mein

Thoughts: ● The Fried Rice was fine in texture. As for taste, it lacked flavor. ●The Pad Thai was made fresh and was hot enough to make the Styrofoam container melt. The dish could use more sauce as the noddles stuck together which made mixing the present sauce challenging. As for taste, it has a lightly sweet taste. I didn't care for the chicken, as it was only cooked and not seasoned. ●The General Chow Chicken was soft and soggy. It was not spicy despite being illustrated as so on the menu. It's possible that the red pepper flakes was supposed to be the spice flavoring but it did not accomplish its mission. Though extra sauce was asked for, it made the breading of the chicken doughy. It was supposed to be topped with broccoli but there were only two pieces of broccoli in the dish. As for taste, the flavor was bland. It tasted like watered down orange sauce. ●The Chow Mein was pale in its color. As for taste, it was like boiled noddles without flavor.

Overall: Friendly staff but...

Don't be fooled by this place - this is one of the classiest Chinese restaurants you could walk into, but with a casual vibe and affordable prices.

This is not some Americanized Chinese takeout restaurant! This is a sit-down restaurant with an extensive menu of delicious, affordable, authentic dishes. However, the best part of this place is their service, which is better than any other restaurant I've eaten at the Crossings (including BJ's, King's Fish House, and Rock and Brews.)

I've eaten here about four times, and EVERY single time the waiter has:

Served us rice directly to our plates Made sure to refill waters frequently Boxed our leftovers for us Offered a warmed, moistened hand towel at the end of our meal.

Every. Time! They do not waver in their service! Our server today was Ling, and he did a phenomenal job.

On top of that, their food is amazing and there are many options including popular favorites (e.g. Kung pao chicken, orange chicken) and unique authentic flavors you've never tried before.

This is a hidden gem, and one that I hope succeeds wildly so more and more people can know what an excellent place this is.

The only thing this place lacks is an upscale interior to match their wonderful service and food, but that will never stop me from coming back...
