The restaurant is VERY small so expect a wait but you can walk around Chinatown while you wait for your table. People were complaining about a 60 to 90 minute wait so people did pull out of line. They do charge you a $10 deposit that will be deducted from your bill. Definitely coming back when I am back in Chicago to try different dishes.

We ordered like the PERFECT amount of food and best variety. Roast duck: I honestly don't know if I've ever had duck before, but I'm a duck believer now. The skin on theirs was the perfect crispy shatter texture and the duck was sooooo juicy! I don't know why I was always so worried about it being gamey. They give you fluffy steamed bao buns, a sauce, and scallions on the side as well as duck fried rice! Turnip cake: Obviously a must any time I come to dim sum. I've never seen turnip in any other form than this. Japanese salt & pepper tofu: My FAVORITE dish ever. Any fried salt & pepper tofu always makes me happy. They use a creamy egg-like tofu and the outside is lightly crispy with amazing aromatics stir fried in. Steamed white rice on the side is perfect with this. Loved everything else my dinner buds picked and we were super full by the end! Service was good and food came out fast and scorching hot! ***Parking in the area is treacherous (not the restaurants fault, but reconsider driving if possible bc cell signal can be zero to none around the garages if you get lucky) ***Their website allows you to request a reservation as long as it's 3 hours before your desired time.

Potstickers: Nice thin skins, good crunchy pan fry on the bottom, slightly underseasoned filling. Sautéed bok choy: Crispy and light with a hint of garlic, easy and healthy. Biang Biang noodles: Interesting mix of strong flavors, which weren't quite my favorite. I found it to be a touch too salty, and I was surprised by the tomato. Trialing the thin noodles was probably the wrong move; the thick hand pulled ones would've stood up to the savorineas much better. Large portion. Beef noodle soup: The thick hand pulled noodles were homey and delicious, just the right texture with some alternating thin and thick chewiness that reminded me of home. The beef noodle soup was quite light without any real beef flavor, though comforting nonetheless. Some pieces of beef were chewier and not completely cooked through while others were tender and melt in your mouth. I'd return when in the mood for a bowl of thick hand pulled noodles and maybe some healthy sauteed vegetables.

I am going to be honest. I have lived a few blocks from China Dragon for 2 years and have never been brave enough to go in. Tonight we were desperate for some quick Chinese food so figured we would give it a shot and ordered delivery. It was AWESOME! We ordered: large Crab Rangoon - HUGE order and delicious Pot Stickers - really big compared to most and stuffed to the brim small chicken Almond Ding - really good. Small orders are big! small General Tso Chicken - really really good small Szechuan Chicken (extra spicey) - great We have enough food here to feed 2 of us for at least 3 meals. No joke. Everything got here steamy hot and very quickly. We did not get the 2 free egg rolls that everyone talked about it on yelp, however, on the menu there is a coupon for 6 free crab rangoon with the purchase of $20 or 10 free crab rangoon with the purchase of $30. Great Chinese Food! read more

This is seriously the worst Chinese food I've EVER had. I've lived all over he country, LA/New York/Houston/Denver and have never experienced this kind of food. I thought I'd give them a second try, as the first time was a huge disappointment. I simply got the orange tofu with sauce on side. This is what I got. The tofu was so dry it seems like they fry it and then fry it again for each order. See pics below. They put the sauce and broccoli in a rice container and was spilling/oozing everywhere. Nothing tastes clean or fresh, I can't imagine what their kitchen looks like. Never coming here again. Waste of money. read more

I order in from here all the time and it is your standard Chinese take out. It usually hits the spot, comes quickly, and is relatively affordable. Everytime I call and order I always think something will get messed up with my order/payment, etc...but it always works out. I'll continue to order from here on nights where I work late. The crab Rangoon is a little too crabby if you can believe that. I like it to be very creamy, but that is just my preference. I recommend this place for Chinese take out and delivery. read more

UPDATED Daniel-- I…read moredo love a good pizza!! But yes, I also love Chinese food. If I were to rank this kind of thing, it's probably my fourth favorite, after Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese. I'd place pizza in about 5th place. Having said that, two of my top 10 favorite restaurants in Chicago are Chinese restaurants - one right around the corner from you! Moon Palace Express used to be in my top 20 for sure, and possibly in my top 10 for a good stretch of time post-Covid. I was eating there at least twice a week, and loved almost everything I tried on the menu. My two favorites were probably the General Tso's and the Kung Pao chicken. So spicy and flavorful! That's what made today's bland lunch so disappointing. Thanks for the response to my initial review. I haven't had ice cream in about a year but you've just made me crave some!! This used to be one of my top three Chinatown spots. I've had several things off the menu, and they've all gone downhill. Today I ate there for the last time. I hadn't been for a year because the last few times things were not great, but today I was craving it. I thought maybe things had bounced back. If I were to close my eyes and take a hit of this Kung Pao chicken, I would guess that it was rice in a bowl of lukewarm warm water, with some old, soggy, tasteless chunks of an indistinguishable vegetable. Quite possibly the worst kung pao chicken I've ever had, and one of the worst meals in general in months. I will never go back here.
