Wasn't bad but also not dying to go back. I wish the fried shrimp batter had a bit more flavor. Had to pour a bunch of hot sauce and tartar sauce on it. The baos were the best part of our meal. There were a few other things I wanted to try and maybe will go back to give it another go since we hate all the chain restaurant options in this area. We ordered to go but really should have just had it there. The fried food definitely didn't travel well. read more

Food was good the only thing I do not understand is why they couldn't sub crawfish tails for shrimp in the crab & shrimp fried rice.

The food is amazing, and the crawfish are the best in Pearland,Tx. I've been a customer for years, because they serve fresh and high quality food. The owner really takes pride in the food he serves, I love this restaurant. I tried all the crawfish places in Pearland,Tx including the new crawfish cafe and Boiling Dragon is the best in flavor and freshness. read more

Came across this place while driving by... We got the garlic noodles, dragon bowl, crawfish and dragon fried rice. Everything was great. Crawfish were big and everything was well seasoned. Customer service was a plus as well, they were fast, friendly and answered all our questions and accommodated modifications. read more

So I tried the Boiling Dragon for some fried seafood. The fish was nice and crispy. It was fried good. The dragon rice was fire! It had lump crab meat in it and I loved it! So my best way to describe it is shrimp fried rice with a crab twist. It's not a good idea but a great one!! The shrimp crab puff was another great one. Made like an egg roll stuffed with goodness. The restaurant is very clean when you walk in. I was impressed with the cleanliness. They are still requiring mask upon entry and social distancing. I ordered my food to go and they let me wait in the car and brought my food to me. Everything was cooked fresh and it took timing to get it to me. Only because people was in front of me and they DO cook to order. It was worth the wait. It was a ton of rice and I had plenty left over. read more

4.5 stars! We got the garlic noodles with beef and loved the huge portion and the flavor of the dish. I would have liked the beef to be browned more. The side of brussel sprouts we got were the star of the show. If you love brussel sprouts you have to order them! The fried catfish tasted fresh and had a crispy breading. The service was very friendly,provided helpful recommendations, and also busses your table for you at the end of the meal. read more

4.5 edging to 5. Because we cleaned all the plates. Stopped in for early dinner. There were do many things on the menu we wanted to try. So we ordered several items for everyone to share. Shrimp crab puff. If you like crab rangoon these are a must try. They were very good. The filling was flavorful and the crust light and flaky. Cat fish basket with fries. Fish was nicely fried with a cornmeal batter. Fries were good. Not soggy or over cooked. Tip. they have lots of sauces ask to try some to see what you like. Soft shell crab bao. The crab was tasty and delicate. The vegetable and sauce gave it a great taste. Pork belly bao. The miss piggy. Solid piece of braised pork. The only thing bad to say is the bao bread was little soggy on the bottom. Possibly it was over steamed. Garlic noodles with shrimp. This was good. But if you do not like garlic or oil stay away it is heavy on both, hence the name. I found the flavor was good and the noodles were a pad thai type. Ask for some hot sauce or limes to take it up a notch. Out of everything this was the dish I was the most torn on. I cleaned my plate and wanted more, but did pay for it later. If you live in the area I say give it a try. read more

This place is a hidden gem. We go often for a GNO. My favorite menu item is the dragon fried rice (we usually order and split among two of us). Second favorite is truffle fries and all three of us ladies kill those (you know every woman loves her fries). Finally, the daiquiris are refreshingly good and will sneak up on you. Family friendly atmosphere. read more

The food was excellent. It is a small eat-in establishment. You order at the counter and they give you a table placard and bring you your food. we tried 3 of the bao and all were excellent. The shrimp fried rice was some of the best in the city. And the Korean street tacos are my new favorite food ever! Delish. Can't wait to come again. read more

Boiling Dragon exceeded our expectations! From the Dragon seafood fried rice with perfect "wok hei" to the flavorful butter garlic crawfish and Thai basil snow crab legs, every dish impressed us. The customer service was top-notch, and the Thai basil sauce was a standout. Conveniently located for those in the med center TMC area, this hidden gem is definitely worth revisiting. No time for photos at Boiling Dragon--our hunger couldn't wait to devour their delectable dishes! read more

This place is a hidden jem. My husband found this place after searching for places to eat in Pearland. Here's what we had and the ratings on each: 1) Spring Rolls: 9/10. Hot, crisp and the Thai chilli sauce was divine. 2) The 4 Baos that they offered: A. The pork belly Bao: 7/10. It was too sweet for me. B. The softshell crab Bao: 9/10. It was delicious C. The fried chicken Bao: 10000/10. Delicious piece of perfectly fried chicken, crisp, with a fresh piece of cucumber. D. The shrimp Bao: 5/10. This was our least favorite. The breading was too much. Not a fan. 3. Snow Crabs: 8/10. $30/3 clusters. It was flavorful and the spicy sauce they provided was adequate. 4. The seafood fried rice: 10/10. My husband loooved this. It was hot, fresh and flavorful. A definite go-to in the Pearland area. read more

We also got the dragon bowl and that was AMAZING with $23 piled up with fried catfish, Alfredo with crawfish tails , Brussels, and their creamy fried shrimp. We will definitely come back for that bowl!!! Varsen was a great server and attentive to everyone! read more

I've always gotten take out and the boiled seafood is usually great. The garlic butter flavor is excellent! Every once in a while, I get disappointed by quality of the crab or crawfish, but this might just be the nature of seafood in general. The fried food and their other staples are always good and fresh. I've tried the fried shrimp, oysters, catfish and chicken. The hush puppies are good too! I am a regular customer and keep going back :-) read more

The hunger was real on a Tuesday, and I had no idea what I wanted so I took to The Yelps. Low and behold, a new contender in the Pearland seafood race appeared before me. I needed to have it. They have a social distance setup on the inside. There was one couple eating, but otherwise empty. My kinda restaurants these days. I ordered to go. The clam chowder fries were aight. I'm from Boston, we don't put bacon in the chowdah, because it turns into baked potato soup with clams. Next time I will order it without the bacon. With bacon, not a fan, will review again next I get it without bacon My roommate and I both got oyster baskets. I liked it a lot. Their batter was very good, which is usually a deciding factor when I have fried seafood. Not bad for the price! I ordered mine with garlic fries, very good. And they reheat well in an airfryer. I also ordered the crab Daddy Bao, and the Peking Chicken. Both wee very good. Excellent blend of flavors. Next go around I'll try the fried mushrooms, the other baos the shrimp, and the boiled basket An excellent new addition to the hood. read more

Been meaning to try this place as we love all things seafood. It was surprisingly a lot smaller inside than I thought. The decor is conducive to "social distancing." Staff wears a mask & gloves. Payment is contactless. We ordered the campechana, fried mushrooms, fried okra, crab wontons, clam chowder & the catfish basket with garlic fries. Campechana was okay, but they only give you a table spoon full of avocado and it's very watery. Fried mushrooms were horrible. Fried okra was tasty. My husband said the clam chowder was great. The crab wonton filling was good, seems as if they use a tempura batter. Yet they merely fry one roll and cut it into multiple pieces with the filling spilling out on both sides. My husband said the catfish was seasoned well, but opted not to eat the super greasy garlic fries. Attention Owner: Please stop placing greens as garnish under all of your fried foods Togo as this only makes them soggy when patrons get them home. When anyone buys something fried they want crunch, not soggy breading. If you want to add something to preserve the texture, please add a slice of bread. This helps to reduce excess moisture from condensation. I have mixed emotions about this place so I can't completely write them off. Idk if my husband will allow us to try it again because it took 30mins to get our food. Sooooo, let me know what you guys think when you go. Make sure to order ahead if you do t want to wait. read more

Boiling dragon for take out is always a good call. The Asian fusion restaurant serves seafood, boa, noodles and rice dishes full of flavor! The fried fish is seasoned well and just the right amount of crispness. Portions are generous so there's plenty to share or eat later! I have tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed. read more

The food here is beyond delicious. The rice and vegetables in the shrimp Saigon are coated with this lovely sauce, it was so good. The sauce even made me truly enjoy the carrots (a vegetable I am not a fan of). The shrimp and egg rolls are very well seasoned, every bite was heaven. The fried rice was definitely a huge portion, we barely ate half before becoming full. It is very well cooked as well. The chef or owner came to our table to ask how everything was and was overall a nice man. This place is definitely a hidden gem, I can't believe how many times I've passed up this place. Eat here you won't regret it. read more

The WORST seafood boil I have ever had. My seafood was swimming in a mixture of the water it was boiled in, butter and garlic. This is clearly not the place to get a seafood boil at. Maybe the other food is good, but the boil - terrible. It was so awful that I didn't finish it. If y'all want a good Seafood Boil, head over to the happy crab in Missouri City. read more

My Pearland friends and I were craving some crawfish so we decided to check out something local. Usually we would make the drive to Chinatown since we do prefer the Asian/Viet style crawfish, but we saw good reviews here and decided to try it. We came on a random weekday and it was not packed at all. It is counter service so we browsed the menu and ordered a few different things. The guy at the counter was friendly but after ordering and receiving your food, you won't see much of the staff. The food came out at all different times. The tables are tiny so if you order like we did, scoot two tables together because we barely had room. The first thing to come out was the wings. We got the 8 wing combo and got two flavors, Korean Glaze and Lemon Pepper. These wings were very good. They were meaty and packed with flavor. The fries they came with were seasoned perfectly and was piled up high. I would come back just for the wing combo. The Dragon Seafood Rice came out next. This was a massive plate of delicious fried rice, packed full of seafood. Highly recommend. The shrimp and crawfish we ordered came out shortly after. We went with garlic butter on one and Thai Basil on the other. We got the higher level spice level on both. The shrimp picked up the flavors great and was easy to peel. The crawfish was hit and miss. Sizes were inconsistent and some were mushy. Overall they were enjoyable. Overall, this was a good spot and I will probably be back. A couple of pointers for the restaurant. Get paper towel rolls for the table. The tiny bit of napkins without wet wipes is not enough for eating shellfish. A sink outside of the bathrooms would come in clutch as well. Just my humble opinion! read more

Amazing!!! The chef/owner(?) was super welcoming. I know that this place has been open for a few years now, and I just now got to try it this year and I regret not trying it earlier, but better late than never am I right? I tried the baos and little ms piggy bao was ‍'s KISS!! Not sugar coating it, but honestly one of the best baos I've ever had and I didn't even expect it- literaly caught me off guard I can't stop thinking about it. I also tried their truffle fries and bulgogi fries and no words. Amazing. I can't even articulate the words to describe how good it was. I absolutely need to try more of their food because, where have I BEEN?!?! I'm not lying pls it's so good I recommend it to everyone. Thank you for listening in on my Ted talk read more

If you haven't been to the Boiling Dragon, then you need to GO! OMG!!! The portions are plenty and the food is off the chart!!! First, we had to try the Brussels Sprouts for an appetizer. I'm still licking my fingers! Moving on to the Saigon Shrimp and Dragon bowls for our lunch. Let me tell you! Can someone tell me where have I been since this place opened? All I can say, we're heading back for the crawfish babyeee!!! Everything deserves a five star! The parking lot needs to be packed!!! Stop playing! Don't sleep on Boiling Dragon! Hands down for flavor packing, large portions and a great owner with his staff. Bye! read more

Harold is a high level chef who opened his own place and is working hard to bring the local community top quality food that is very flavorful and delicious. I actually found the place because I raise cattle locally and Harold reached out looking to source ingredients locally. That is what told me right away that he is different and cares about his craft. Show support to local chefs who care about their craft as Harold does. I would have posted pictures but we devoured everything as soon as we saw it. read more

THIS FOOD IS SOOOO GOOD! Tried them on a whim when I received a notification of my Door Dash coupon expiring. Searched the restaurants and stumbled upon this one. I remembered their unique name and passing them once. After looking them up and seeing their Door Dash reviews were consistent with Google and Yelp I decided to try them. My new fav spot! I plan to try them in person. I ordered the following: CATFISH FILET one piece Very good. Well seasoned. Simple cornmeal coating. Garnish of parsley and side of lemon wedge. DRAGON FRIED RICE They give you a TON of food. They overfill your container. And plenty of shrimp and crab meat that you can see. Delicious but I turned it up a notch by adding the juice/sauce from my shrimp boil. SHRIMP BOIL SPICY Added corn and hard boiled egg. I am typically not a fan of shrimp boils or any boils in a bag because they are messy and usually take a lot of effort to eat (peeling shrimp or cracking crab legs etc). But this is worth it and next time I'm ordering extra hard boiled eggs. The sauce is so flavorful. I think I ordered the Thai Basil one. You get two options though that or garlic butter. BEEF GARLIC NOODLE SPICY Also flavorful and a HEAPING amount. The beef is plentiful. Spicy factor is there. read more
