We've tried all the local Chinese restaurants, and each has its strengths and weaknesses. We gave New Dragon a try a couple of months ago and ordered sweet and sour pork, pork fried rice, lo mein, beef and broccoli, crab rangoons, and egg rolls.
The downside: Unfortunately, the lo mein was inedible, it had an overpowering fishy taste that made it unpleasant. Living 10 miles away, returning it wasn't practical, so we ended up throwing it out. It’s unclear whether it was too much fish sauce or if something had gone bad. We spent $55 on dinner which is about normal but I hate tossing food out.
The upside: Everything else was absolutely delicious. The egg rolls were perfectly crispy, the crab rangoons were flavorful (though we missed the usual dipping sauce that other places include), and the fried rice was cooked just right. The beef and broccoli had great flavor and texture, and the sweet and sour pork was spot on.
Despite the issue with the lo mein, I would definitely order from New Dragon again. If they can address whatever went wrong with that dish, this place would be a solid go-to. Overall, I’d give it a 4.5 out of 5 star...

I have a very sensitive stomach that revolts at just about everything I eat. For the first time in YEARS I ate an egg roll and didn't suffer any stomach craps and what goes with it. It was wonderful to eat something I loved eating growing up. Their food is scrumptious from what I've had and I can't wait until I can go personally!!!! Yeah you can say "But you only had an egg roll from there!" but coming from someone who has stomach issues this is a honest review and has weight to it as I end up eating...

Be careful walking in the front door. There's a weird step and mat combination that made 3 members of our party of 12 (we all arrived separately) almost fall on their faces.
Egg rolls and pork fried rice were good, no one really cared for anything else they had. A lot went into the garbage. :( I know I can be a bit particular, but I was with people who eat at the Olive Garden intentionally. Even they...
