Dragons Gate Restaurant, Pembroke Pines Florida. BAD CHOICE!!! My wife and I placed a takeout order which came out to about $38 and change. We ordered the following: Two Egg Rolls. Kung Po Chicken, Moo Shu Chicken, Chicken Lo Mein and Fried Wantons with Meat. We ordered the Sezuan dishes medium. All the food was totally tasteless. How can a chef make red and green peppers tasteless? The Egg Rolls tasted rancid. It was totally inedible. One bite and I had to spit it out. The Lo Mein was very mushy, cooked and tasted bad like it was spoiled. Our opinion was that it was just old. Who knows how long the noodles were sitting in a pot. The Moo Shu Chicken was also tasteless and the pancakes hard and cracked. The Fried Wantons tasted stale. They had a very strange taste My wife and I eat a lot of local Chinese, Japanese and Thai Restaurants and we have never had anything this bad. We just decided to throw the food in the trash. We ate about 7:15-7:30 and soon after my wife became nauseous and felt like throwing up. About an hour later I felt the same way. We dont usually worry about blowing $38.00 bucks on anything but after we both became sick I decided to call the restaurant and ask them to credit my credit card. The Manager gave us a lot of crap and a scream fest started. All I can say is DO NOT EAT THERE!!!!.. And first thing this coming Monday Morning is to call my Credit Card Company and put a stop payment on this order and then I will call the Health Department and report them for selling bad food. We have never had this type of experience. As a last note: If you want to eat good food oriental food in the Hollywood area, go ahead and eat at Emerald Coast in Pembroke Pines and Eddie Hills Sushi in Hollywood. These two restaurants are what we base other restaurants on.

So I ordered the sweet and sour chicken lunch special just to be told that: You have to pay extra for the sweet and sour sauce (which I didnt). When they handed me my takeout bag apparently there was sweet and sour sauce in the bag, so while Im walking back to my car the staff RUNS out after me and literally rips the sweet and sour sauce out of my bag. "You didnt pay for this!", the woman yells at me... I didnt say I word except "Take your sauce". Now Im thinking, when I get home this food better be good. Then I did. The "lunch" special wasnt actually a lunch special it was about half the size of a typical takeout chinese food lunch special. The chicken was overcooked and bland, while the rice was disgusting... It literally tasted like cigarettes. They didnt include an egg roll or soup and didnt give me a fork, but were thoughtfully deceptive enough to put the fortune cookie and napkins in an egg roll sleeve so when you peek into the bag you think theres an actual egg roll. I would NEVER recommend going there, Chinese food is too common of a commodity to deal with such nonsense.

Very nice ownership. The food on the main menu is mostly mainstream and attracts the century village early birds. However, they have a Chinese menu with more authentic dishes and good specials. So you can get very good food here, you just have to ask for the Chinese menu. A standout dish is their fish and tofu casserole served boiling in a clay pot. Steamed whole fish with ginger and scallion is a wonderful staple. See gua with pork is delicious. Tofu with dun goo (black mushrooms) is very yummy. I enjoy their bbq ribs. Also, their Peking Duck is lovely. My regular staple is vegetable hot and sour soup. Also, they generally will have seasonal chinese vegetable available like snow pea tips, baby bok choy, and lotus root. They host a Chinese New Year celebration with dragon dance every year in their parking lot. That is always a lot of fun.

I got to say something after 22 years of buying food from this place. STOP ordering from this place, i just did today 8/21/2016... No more aggravations nor poor quality food anymore.. Richard the restaurant manager/owner is an unappreciative person and he does not care for good service anymore. Today I ordered the last time after 22 years and honestly it was the last time of so many and so many bad food and delivery service that Ive paid for.. People dont think because you had been a good long time costumer for this people they will tried at least to please you or take care of you.. No,No No. Richard wont care, go spent your money elsewhere else. 22 years wont count for this people they just care about $$$. Good luck Richard you had lost a good customer who was spending over $120.00 a month and over $ 1200.00 a year.

I have dined in this restaurant on several occasions and enjoyed their food as well as their service. I thought I would receive the same service for delivery..........WRONG! The meal was called in at 7:56PM and I was informed it would arrive in "about" 45 mins to an hour. Finally at 9:10PM there was a knock at my door. When I advised the delivery woman that I was no longer interested in what was more than likely cold shrimp fried rice, she became a bit angry and wanted to know why I didnt call to cancel. I advised, "the very same reason your restaurant didnt call me and advise my meal would be arriving later than expected." I will never order from them again!

Ive been ordering from Dragon for several years after looking for at least decent Chinese takeout locally. I have happily recommended this spot to my non-local foodie friends and they keep coming back. The food is deliciously fresh and customer service is more than I can ask for. Ive tried a variety of dishes based on staff recommendations and have always been highly delighted. Yes, a little pricier than your local takeout but theres a valid reason why this restaurant remains as busy as it does. Why 4 stars? I wish they were open on Mondays too.

This has to be the most awful chinese food i have ever tasted, The rice taste like criolle burnt rice, and they are super expensive, I thought I would get a good meal for what i ordered. A quart of fried rice, 4 egg rolls, a quart of mongolian beef and a soup 65 dollars. I normally order from china house and they are really good, decided to change up a bit to see if i can find that great new tork style chinese food, and ended up with a high priced low quality curry styled flavored fried rice and a disatisfied way of 65 dollars spent.

Ordered delivery for lunch. Food arrived within 30 minutes. THE KRAB RANGOONS...so delish, crisp and crunchy on the outside then the creamcheese melted in my mouth. So good. THE SESAME CHICKEN lunch portion was huge. Chicken was fresh (not chewy like most Chinese restaurants I know) and all white chunklets dipped in tasty orange sauce with sliced (not diced) garlic. VEGGIE EGG ROLLS were okay, but Im more of a rangoon girl. So glad I work near this place. Completely satisfies my Chinese food cravings.

Went there on 5/10/14 and had a delicious meal which included soup, a couple of dishes and half a Peking Duck, I raved about it to my family and promised to bring them there.. Visited with my family on 5/20/14, we ordered a whole Peking Duck which was not crispy, greasy, and was actually lukewarm, the other dishes were bland and not enjoyable. It felt like they had 2 different chefs or there was no consistency in their cooking. Excitement turned to disappointment, I will not be returning.
