Dragon Garden — Restaurant in Lancaster

Really good food, surprising in a Take Out joint (but plenty of tables for Eat In). While not the sort of place I normally go, who knew it would be so enjoyable? I relied on a Yelper's one review because of their truthfulness in implying that Lancaster is a culinary wasteland. And they were right ... eating here was a really good experience.

How it works: if you look at their Take Out menu you'll see the front is all "combo" meals at great prices and with good variety. They do a lot of family combo take-outs. This food all comes from their steam table and the constant flow of people ensures the food's freshness. However, we like our food freshly prepared to order and this you get when you order from the other a la carte side of the menu.

We were off to a good start with Won Wonton soup, egg rolls and pot stickers. All Good. We then ordered five entrees ...

Shrimp Egg Foo Young. This might be the best egg foo young I've ever had. No small bay shrimp; these were all filled with good-sized (I think is 30-35 sized) whole shrimp. Tender, tasty, and good sauce for them. Everybody at the table loved it.

Kung Pao . I'll own up and admit to not being a huge fan of any kind of kung pao, but I took a taste and it was so great I went back for another small serving. Pretty spicy, but the sauce flavor was really excellent.

Salt & Pepper Shrimp: really nicely seasoned. I know, it's a bit of a mess to eat, but food tastes better when you get your fingers into it and have to lick them :) While many consider it a delicacy to have the heads served with the whole shrimp and like to suck out all the contents, I just pulled them off and ate the rest of the shrimp.

Orange Chicken: pretty much like most orange chicken served around the place, this dish was fine.

BBQ Pork and Teriyaki chicken .....so good!!!

Overall, this was a great lunch and we'll definitely be back for more, both to eat in and take out. They obviously care about the quality of their food. And Best Chinese food I've found in Lancaster.

I had to go back because they forgot my egg rolls. It didn't occur to me that I should inspect my entree before I drove home to discover they left out my rice too! Kung Pau Tofu was 70% tasteless steamed zucchini & carrots, & the 30% that WAS tofu was just plain fried tofu. WHERE'S MY KUNG PAU?!?!? Dish was not spicy AT ALL, just steamed vegetables & fried tofu, NOT served over rice, topped with peanuts (huh? I don't recall seeing anywhere that it was Thai-Chi Fusion). I had to cook it again (WITH the Kung Pau sauce this time) to even EAT it! So much for treating myself to take-out so I wouldn't have to cook. Thanks for nothing, Dragon Garden! Don't worry about the rice. "More" of your food is not the direction I'm...

This place is only getting one star because of the food. Don't expect hospitality or even standard customer service skill at this location. The people that run the place are extremely rude and short with their customers. I sat and watched other transactions and they were just as rude to them so it's not just me. The girl taking my order yawned directly in my face as I was telling her and I had to repeat it multiple times as she just starred rudely with an angry look on her face and a condescending tone to match. Ppl there are tons of fast food Chinese places throughout the valley. Purchase from one of them that actually values...
