Dragon House Asian Station — Restaurant in Franklin Lakes

Former location of the same type of Chinese food restaurant ' Tommy Cheng.' Groomed before closing, this was a private handover to a family looking to invest in expanding into Chinese takeout. Notable diffence: immediately the food most commonly packaged in prior tin foil base and cheap thin plastic is replaced with a deigned thicker single size circular base and see through thick plastic cover for a tight fit. It impressed me for Chinese takeout as usually they tend to match the same normal cheap container that obviously costs next to nothing. This is much better since the fit prevents any leaks unlike almost always a way for manual tin foil sealing to fail a cheap plastic cover from..well let's just say if you eat Chinese don't drive and expect any of your food to leak out let alone if it has sauce. So this is nice! Thats not the product that matters most unfortunately which is food. My first opening of the wax paper holding egg rolls costing more was.. they must have the wrong order but egg rolls are like pizza and it's like seeing half of your slice size when open the Box. The trend was confirmed. Portion sizes are without any need to bust out digital scales less food with more money. And get this!!!! I ordered by phone my usual lunch special.. or I tried to but was told sorry.. They charge premium on Sunday with no lunch specials. This is without a doubt the oddest thing I expected to be finding. I couldn't understand this normal every Chinese place that doesn't stand out but is exactly what you know, but makes weird rules you can't find out and then try a second chance to only get the next gag... Monday is off! An alternative to Chinese that you won't appreciate. And the food isn't as good as Tommy Cheng either making me not drive from Oakland for just this place anymore. I'll be stuck with status quo and on the chance I ever needed Chinese in order to live, I'd be plenty content on the 5 minute walk that is actually open and has prices and food that would be acceptable even if the Flys still are flying around the...

Where do i start. Chow mein is one of my favorite dishes to order whenever i order American Asian food. I've ordered so many times in the last 30 years of my life that I lost count. This is what I ordered today. When it arrived, as you can see in the picture, it's just chicken in watery vegetables. Chicken chow mein is supposed to be made with noodles. I know this because every time I've ordered it, it came with that. A simple Google search will tell you this as well.

However, instead of admitting to error, the woman insisted that there's no such thing as noodles in Chicken Chow Mein, and also told me that I can ask anyone how chicken chow mein is supposed to be made and they will tell me its not made with noodles. Im almost certain I'm not the first person to come across this issue. If (without noodles) is a variation , it's certainly not the norm here and they can at least state that on the menu.

I attempted to eat this soaking wet slop. The chicken chow mein was practically flavorless. I would only eat this if no food was available to me.

The fried dumplings were also very sad. They were flat, and not crispy at all. Kinda soggy. Still way better than the chicken.

I don't recommend this place for anyone looking...

Really so disappointed in this restaurant I expected really good Chinese food unfortunately it was typical fare. Extremely bland and tasteless I ordered wonton soup and Shrimp Lo. The one t in the soup were thick and gummy and the pork inside was minuscule. The shrimp lomein has 8 shrimp that were 1" in diameter. SO disappointing expected more aleast more of that size. When I went to pay for the order she looked up at me and continued to do more work on orders that were coming in so I stood there for 2 minutes until I banged on the window so that she would wait on me and pay for my dinner. I do...
