Great Dragon express — Restaurant in Dubuque

I ordered on NYE ,so I knew it was going to take awhile to get my food. At about 30 min past when the confirmation said I was supposed to get it,I called to check the status.The lady who helped ( who said she was the manager & was very nice)said it's on its way but still took over 15 min to get to me & I only live maybe 5 min away if you hit all the lights. When I got it,my rangoons where cold,the pork wontons were so over over cooked, I couldn't really bite through them..never seem to be able to get those not over cooked idk why, I keep trying.BUT...the rest of my food was a pleasant surprise. I got cashew chicken,which in the past has been breaded chicken chunks which ends up kinda mushy & a tad over cooked,heavy salty sauce, This was nice tender slices of chicken.,lighter fresher tasting sauce .I'd ask for it xxx spicy because they would barely add any before so that's the only way to get any heat. ,this time it was almost too spicy.lol.the chicken fried rice in the past was bland,this one was very flavorful.lol Ive odered from them several times in the past& the food has always been..ok..could be worse, could be better.I havnt ordered from them in quite awhile&.ordered through the website which has been redone,so im not sure if its under new management,new cooks,both or what..but despite my apps not turning out the fact the main dishes turned out much better then before makes up for...

Ordered two quarts of sweet and sour chicken (so the quarts just had the pieces of breaded chicken) and two quarts of pork fried rice. Both containers of chicken were incredibly dry, could barely even chew. And the pieces were so small inside the breading im surprised we weren’t just eating breading. The fried rice was also dry, added some soy sauce which helped a bit but this was honestly some of the worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. Spent $60 for four of us to eat and we threw all of it out. Even my 17 year old son (who literally will eat anything as long as it’s edible) wouldn’t eat it. I didn’t have high expectations for this place but even my low expectations were shattered. The only good thing about this place is the guy that checked me out was very nice. That is literally it. I mean if you can’t cook a basic sweet and sour chicken I can’t even imagine what the rest of their menu would be like. Will not waste my money here again. Highly NOT...

Do not eat here. The kitchen is disgusting and i saw the owner have stacks of egg rolls on a tin pan on top of a dirty trash can. She then took some more egg rolls out of the fryer and placed them on already stacked egg rolls. Egg rolls dropped on the floor as she did this. She then grabbed the other fryer pan and did the same thing as more fell. She put the pan back in the fryer and proceeded to pick up the egg rolls that dropped on the floor and she put them right back in the huge pile of egg rolls that were stacked on a tin pan on top of a dirty trash can. I am so disgusted and couldn't believe what I just witnessed. I am still in shock about it as I use to eat here, and the way everything was set up you can tell this was a nightly occurrence on how she closes. If she does this with egg rolls this is done with any food that drops on the floor, and why a dirty trash can to place them on??!!! Because it rolls and it's easier? IT is...
