Dragon City Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Portsmouth

Not much to add to what has been shown in that it probably won't surprise you that i found these folks' food to be outstanding.

Sunday evening, both the wife and i were burnt out from the day and didn't want to cook. Never have yet ordered Asian cooking in this area though we've been here since the end of January, so picking a place that was actually open was out first issue. Obviously yes, they were.

So even though great ratings, we all have had to become skeptical of ratings as so many manipulate them by giving something for "free" for a good rating. No, the food was absolutely great! And given the hours having lawn machinery blaring in my ears, a very nice young man greeted me when i came in, explained that he just needed my name or phone number to locate my order and despite my having him to keep repeating himself (he spoke perfect English, the issue was all the screaming landscape machinery all day) he was absolutely polite.

Food was hot and perfectly done, even my extra spicy cashew chicken (first time order, had to start with a baseline) had a perfect amount of "extra spicy" to it and very good flavor; no scrimping whatsoever on the cashews (i've seen some places that treat them like gold, you are lucky to find them).

Delivery if wanted is through DoorDash and similar services. Not thrilled, but OK. Another tip.

On the website they offer online ordering. This is an excellent resource, but the site needs a little more development. There is no separate MENU area, you need to go to ORDER ONLINE whether or not you have decided. In the end this isn't a problem as you can always cancel out, but it would feel more "normal" if there was a MENU area in which they could also place a descriptor of each entry along with a picture, price, options or CALL that area MENU and add the appropriate cited extra features.

Once one clicks ORDER ONLINE you then get to click "Start Order". This is rather awkward and might be an issue with translation of cultural customs(?) as this "Start Order" extra step is wasted.

Next you are looking at a very bare-bones presentation. The first column on the left side is your Table of Contents which jumps you to the appropriate section.

Center vertical column names all of the selections.

On the far right you will either see a mustard yellow button with either a "+" or "OPT" in it. If it's a "+" you are adding it to your order and if "OPT" you are opening a submenu with OPTIONS.

Besides overall aesthetic enhancements you need to remember that sometimes you need to open OPT to see different serving sizes and the pricing.

A larger "View Order" button will float at the bottom of your screen with the running total as soon as the first item is selected. From there you can review the order BUT YOU CAN'T GO BACK without clearing the cart. That needs attention for i wanted to modify an item as an afterthought but i didn't want to erase all we had entered.

From the "View Order" screen is the "Checkout" button. At that point you either "Creat" (s/b "Create") new account, "Sign In", or cancel.

Now i need to go off of memory as i do not wish to actually enter an order - do not worry over finding how long you should give it before you go to pick your order up; once EVERYTHING is done they show you. This confused me as prior to showing that they ask you when you want the order "scheduled" - kind of hard to tell them when i'll pick it up if this is meant to be ASAP and i do not know how much they are backed up, if at all; i believe it should be shown prior to payment.

So my only complaining is about "atmosphere" which is entirely suited for picking up an order, the website and delivery. As to the food, all my family thought it was...

The Quisine smells and tastes like the parking lot of a strip mall. It's over where the old blockbuster used to be, and there are legit 2 parking spaces in front. 1 of them being taken by the delivery driver and the other by people who are completely able bodied parked in the handicap spot. I have witnessed this 4 times and asked the business to address this issue, and they declined. I understand they probably don't want to get involved in parking issues that the PORTSMOUTH POLICE should be dealing with.... but with no police around, people don't care, and I am unable to pick up dinner for my family. So if you have a hard time, especially in this 🥵 heat, with mobility AVOID this restaurant and find one of the many other strip mall Chinese American food businesses with either curb side delivery or ample parking for the handicap and don't forget to tip if they bring it out to...

Food is good but the delivery person is very aggressive. She blatantly asks for a tip. After waiting 2 hours for my food and she always goes to the wrong door in my apartment building (mind you I have ordered from there multiple ti. I usually do), so that was an extra 15 minutes trying to find her. She runs up saying “ I LOVE YOU GUYS” repeatedly. And says you tip me today. Why no tip. And she looks over your shoulder while you sign the receipt. Then when I get my food she starts banging on the glass door to the elevator yelling NO TIP NO TIP. This made me so uncomfortable and it’s embarrassing to have the delivery person literally yelling on the main floor of my apartment. I usually do tip but that was too much and I waited so long for me food. If I order again it will be pick up because I have never seen anything like...
