Eastern Dragon is as good as it gets to Chinese take out in 19454. We've tried the rest and this is the best. Now mind you Eastern Dragon is not the best dine in experience and in fact you cannot eat there right now. Their bread and butter is take out, specifically they do the sides ultra well from apps to house fried rice. Their combos are main courses we go to all the time like General Tso and chicken and broccoli. It's as good as almost any place I've eaten in Jersey or Philly but not THE BEST. Having said that this is a family owned and operated location slightly difficult to get to but worth the 4-5 extra turns. They are insanely fast for pick up and delivery most of the time and always friendly to customers. I'm grateful for Eastern Dragon on those late nights where no one wants to cook or grocery options are limited. They haven't broken a streak in three years and are reliable as can be. Their prices are a little on the high side but there is value depending on what you buy. Take Eastern Dragon for a night to wet your palette and see if it's for you and your circle of influence you likely won't be let down and might even come back regularly like my...
Read moreEastern Dragon is our go-to restaurant when we are in the mood for Chinese food (just typing this makes me want to order some right now).

I always have to make a point to ask for extra, bc if I don’t, I know I’ll get 1-2 packs of soy sauce for a multi meal order. I just don’t enjoy feeling like I have to beg for sauces, when other places literally put buckets of sauce out for you to grab. Seems like a silly thing to be stingy about. That said, I still go their once a week and would recommend (just make sure to ask for...
Read moreI'm very torn about this restaurant. It is a pricer Chinese food place and the quality of the food reflects that. I have eaten in a couple of times and have had no issues. The place was clean, the food was good, it wasn't packed out, and the server was nice. With two small kids I don't always have the luxury of going out to eat, so I have placed a decent amount of take out orders from them. There has been at least three occasions where my food was inedible. The meat was either very tough, very dry, or over cooked. I've never had problems with Chinese take out or delivery like this before. My advice is to dine in only and avoid take out or delivery. If you absolutely must do delivery they...
