Happy Dragon Restaurant — Restaurant in Leonardtown

I came here today for my fiancée's daughter's birthday dinner and it was basically ruined by terrible food, terrible service and terrible atmosphere. So, first of all I'm pretty sure they abuse the few fish they have in there. They look like they don't get fed and they're barely alive. It also adds nothing to the ambiance. They used to play music and there was no music at all today or anything to create any sort of ambiance. I dropped almost $100 on 4 dishes one of which was a small soup and expect more for that if I'm being real.

A major issue I had though is that I told the server specifically that I am very allergic to seafood so I asked if the spring rolls have any shrimp or anything and she said no, they're vegetable - the menu also said they're vegetable. So I ate them without worry. They weren't very good but whatever I didn't want to make an issue so I just ate them smothered in duck sauce which was okay. I'm almost done with the second spring roll when I just glance at it and realize there's literally a baby shrimp in it. So that was great. Lucky for me they seem to use fake shrimp because I haven't had a reaction yet and it's been at least a half hour since I ate it. After that I tried to have some won ton soup. It tasted like fish water. The dumplings were okay, not great.

The server asked at one point if my fiancee and her daughter's friend wanted a refill on their drinks (tea and sprite) and they said yes so she took their cups to go refill them. In my opinion she should have brought either new cups, then removed the empty cups or have brought a pitcher if she didn't want to go back and forth. Then someone else asked for a refill a bit later and a different server took that person's cup, left with it then when she came she handed to her and said "please" aggressively with some type of unwarranted attitude - no idea what she meant or what the issue was, if there was even an issue. We felt very unwelcome.

All in all it was a terrible experience. We will be re-doing the dinner for her daughter due to it being such a poor experience. We will never come back here again and will most definitely be letting our friends and family know about what experienced.

Good luck, you're...

There around 5:30pm on Christmas Day. We were seated in the back section that was being used for storage. Not ideal, but we were OK with it because of the size of our party. We can over look that but our waitress had an attitude the entire time as if she didn’t want to be there. Trying to place an order was difficult and my order was in correct when delivered to our table. When telling her the order was wrong, the attitudes continued. A couple of times she said they’ve been really busy today. That may be true, but when we were in there, there was our table and three others with one other waiter. Them being busy earlier today should have had nothing to do with the problems we encountered. Overall, the food flavor was OK but the place was dingy and we drove an hour to get there. Not sure we...
