New Dragon Cafe Inc — Restaurant in Shakopee

Honestly after reading all the good reviews I thought it was going to be at least decent. It was not. I ordered General Tao chicken, my waiter told me it was his favorite, best thing they have there he said. The other two people I was with had orange chicken and sweet and sour chicken.

All the chicken tasted like burnt grease and it was so chewy and dry and it was terrible.

The sauce on all the chicken was tasteless and the small amount of flavor it had was terrible. It had an old or spoiled flavor to it.

I think the grease they are using to fry the chicken is 30 years old just like the restaurant. Honestly. I can taste 1994 in the grease. It was awful.

Even the rice tasted burnt and spoiled too though so I’m not sure where that flavor is coming from but it’s awful.

I will NEVER eat here again. Leann Chin is a million times better and it’s just ok. But at least it doesn’t taste Like spoiled grease that’s been around since before The movie Grease first hit...

It's a below average Chinese restaurant. If you have an urge to eat Chinese food then I would say it would barely appease it but I wouldn't come here on a regular basis.

I ordered the House Special Fried Rice, Orange Chicken (Very, very, spicy), and Mongolian Beef(Very, very, spicy). The fried rice was lacking of flavor and well wasn't very special. The Orange Chicken had NO flavor besides a hint of sweetness and wasn't even spicy. The Mongolian Beef had the same issues of lacking of flavor and not even close to being spicy.

Guys and gals, if you want better Chinese food just go to Mandarin Kitchen or something.

TLDR; was not worth the $50.

EDIT: After about a year or two, they've gotten much better. They deserve...

I've done takeout with 3 qts of hot and sour soup, every other week, since the beginning of covid. Great soup, until today--bland, $33 of flavorless soup. While there to pick up, I decided to stay for lunch...ordered sesame shrimp, which I frequently order. Shrimp was quite over-cooked and tough, as a result. I ate 3 bites and told the server the problem. The former owner told me she had sold the restaurant... the food tasted like the regular cooks left when it was sold. I won't go back. The hassle of rejecting a bad meal was disappointing. The former owner told me I should not order shrimp next time! No appreciation for the hundreds of $$ I've spent there in 3.5 years!...
