Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Raleigh

I came here and ordered takeout because I heard it was good, and it looked like they make their dumplings in-house which is very important to me. I'm getting tired of places using manufactured frozen dumplings. They all taste the same and it's not worth the money. So when I went in to order, I asked the person taking my order if the dumplings are made in-house. I was informed that a lot of their items are made in-house, which I was pleased with. I ordered an order of fried dumplings, and then I got a special dinner combo of chicken with broccoli, and I paid extra to have lo mein as the side instead of rice. The special dinner combo also comes with an egg roll. I realized that I ordered a lot of food, but I had been craving good Chinese takeout, and I could make the food stretch for multiple meals. The fried dumplings were definitely homemade. The meat inside was very juicy and had an interesting taste to it. It was more sweet than savory, which was interesting, but not completely a terrible thing. The chicken with broccoli was good, but had a light brown sauce instead of a dark brown sauce that I like. The dark brown sauces tend to be more flavorful and savory. The chicken and broccoli were cooked to my liking, though, and the food was hot and tasty. The lo mein noodles were delicious and tasted fantastic. The egg roll was pretty bland. Overall, the price I paid for the food and the amount of food I got was worth it. I'm always happy to support a local...

I’ve been coming to this place since last week, and all seemed well, the food is pretty good and their Lunch Special in my opinion is a good deal when you want something affordable to eat when you want something new outside the campus. However, what I don’t appreciate is having bugs in my soup, just yesterday I had the Egg Drop Soup, as I was stirring it around because it was hot, I noticed that there were tiny bits and pieces of bugs in my soup! Small gnats and other small pests, and Today I ordered the Chicken Noodle Soup thinking maybe I’ll give their soups another chance, only to still see more bits and pieces of bugs in the soup again! This is unacceptable, I don’t normally gives reviews but I feel the need to bring this up as I am disgusted and I don’t like the idea of serving people food with dead bugs in it. Its unfair...

Ordered for the first time and had it delivered by door dash. The food arrived on time and nothing was spilled. (We had a few liquids.) Everything was delicious. Shrimp rolls were big and plump. Shrimp Hunan had medium size shrimp and plenty for two to share and was the right amount of spicy we asked for. House lo mein was FULL of meat and shrimp. Sweet and sour chicken was enough for 4! The only thing that could have been better was the little bag of fried noodles. They are one of my favorite things. They were very light in color so could have been cooked a little longer and there was hardly any in the bag. I think we’ve found our new Chinese place! Definitely...
