Dragon Palace of Wakefield — Restaurant in South Kingstown

This was our first time visiting Dragon Palace. I love Chinese food, but haven't found a local place yet to frequent. I had high expectations.

The restaurant was separate from the bar, which we appreciated, as we don't drink and didn't want to listen to the TV. The atmosphere was clean and pleasant. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and prompt. Prices seemed fair and servings were generous.

We started off our dinner with won ton soup. My daughter got sushi, and I ordered the cashew chicken (with egg roll). When we sat down we were served some fried Chinese chip things (see pic) with some weirdly sweet sauce.

Food review: The won ton soup was delicious. The small serving was a large bowl and contained three nice-sized won tons, along with nice chunks of bok choy and chicken.

My daughter's sushi was just fine. The pickled ginger was tasty and not overpowering. Presentation was good. Nothing to write home about, but just fine.

I would give the cashew chicken a solid "OK." I enjoyed the chunks of vegetables. There were lots of cashews and chicken, which for the price was generous. However the brown sauce it was glazed with was just OK. It needed a punch of something...fresh ginger perhaps? More soy sauce? Not sure. The fried rice was also strangely non-flavorful.

My biggest disappointment was the egg roll. That's usually one of my favorite parts of eating at a Chinese place. I've made them at home and know they are hard to get just right. The filling in this one was lack luster, and it was not fully fried, leaving the last inner layer somewhat chewy. Sad. In addition, it almost tasted like the oil it was fried in was old. I noticed the same off taste in...

Christmas Eve is not the time to order Chinese food here. When I called,I was told one hour, so I arrived one hour later to a full parking lot, 50 people milling about outside, and another 30 in a crowded inside lobby. The three overwhelmed women working takeout were completely overwhelmed by the situation as they continued to answer the phone and serve the people already there. One girl was running orders outside as they came out. They had no idea who was there; it may have made sense to have everyone write down their name upon arrival. I finally made may way to the register and paid, then my paid slip was laid on a counter next to other paid slips. Many people hadn't yet paid and it took me over 1/2 an hour to work my way through the crowded lobby to do so. Absolutely no safe distancing and minimal air flow leads me to not be surprised if there was an outbreak soon after Christmas. I received the order an hour and 45 minutes after ordering and quickly left to get out of that environment. The food was hot and delicious when I finally brought it home. I don't blame the counter workers, but someone needed to take charge of...

Best Chinese restaurant ever in the world the waitresses are cartwheeling and backflipping while they deliver your food. Very quick service. Takeout is the best thing I have ever experienced I just wanna high five all of the hard working staff who work so hard at the takeout window. Sushi chef is just so gorgeous and very polite. The manager, Mark is the funniest guy and he’s always helping the staff to learn. The bartenders are just amazing so friendly the Sunday girl is just the nicest person. Food has never disappointed I recommend the scallion pancakes and vegetable dumplings for vegan options as well as veggie fried rice just ask for no egg and extra veggies. Sesame chicken is delightful and the spring rolls and egg rolls are amazing. Keep up the amazing work, Dragon Palace...
