I spoke to my friend and the reason this place has 2 stars is because of the previous ownership involved. However, I'm from California and my friends brought me here for hot pot. I was so happy. There are so many options here, it's quite astonishing. All of it for just the simple price of $25. The waitress knew that I was from out of town, and kept asking to see if I enjoyed the food, and I got to say, I did. The meat felt good, the vegetables were just right, and the complimentary side dishes were amazing. It doesn't seem like too many people know what hot pot is out in Indiana, but man, it's like the best meal to have on a cold winter day. JUST GOOGLE WHAT IT IS!!! Like seriously. I know it's 2 stars, but I was so impressed. They also provide several different types of sauces so you can mix and match them to get the nice flavorful meal you always desired. PLEASE, MANAGEMENT HAS CHANGED AND YOU WILL BE DELIGHTFULLY PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE AND THE AMOUNT OF FOOD YOU GET(HOT POT). read more

I don't typically give negative reviews, but this felt like a waste of our money. The chicken was all soggy breading and nothing had any flavor. We tried the crab Rangoons, chicken lo mein, general tso's chicken, and hot & sour soup. read more

Just picked up a hot & sour soup to go. Incredible. The soup is packed with good stuff: tofu, egg, mushrooms, cabbage, scallions, and bits and bobs. Not overly think and gloopy either. Just a nice hearty soup and very flavorful. read more

Never had a bad meal here! The owners are friendly and inviting and your food is prepared quickly and we'll. I had the best orange chicken here that I have ever had! Its mostly takeout with a very small seating area, but the restaurant is clean and well decorated. Good place to pick up takeout after shopping for groceries next door. read more

My Kung Pao chicken was very dry and way overcooked. And, I know a lot of people don't like Fortune Cookies, but I do. They we so stale! So many Chinese food choices in Lafayette. You can skip this one. read more

Best food I had staff was nice and food was out fast and everything was so good will be coming back read more

The best mango smoothies. Great food, great hospitality, overall great dining experience. Generous portions - we were stuffed by the end of the meal. Pork with Chinese vegetables and broccoli beef was delicious. Highly recommend and will be back soon. read more

Fresh with decent portions! The only complaint -- they don't serve Hot Pots anymore even though it is on their dine in menu. They let me order and pay for one Spicy Beef Hot Pot for $17.99 then brought me out a plate of spicy beef that I normally wouldn't have ordered and definitely it what I was expecting. When I asked (because every place at every table in their restaurant is equipped with the Hot Pot burners), she said they don't offer it anymore. :( read more

I love this place !!! It's so yummy and they're really good prices for a decent amount of food ! The lady working the register is so beyond kind and always gives us the best service. The atmosphere is amazing and calming I eat here regularly and have never been disappointed. read more

Great service, and great food. General Tsao's dinner special is my go-to. If I don't get that then, I get the sesame chicken which is my second fave read more

Love the taste and portions Size! I got the dinner special bourbon chicken and it's super good read more

China Dragon - Bourbon Chicken - Chinese Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

It was ok. I stopped by before 1:00pm on a weekday. I was the only one there. The place seemed tidy enough and yet a little rough around the edges. I really wanted pork buns or a similar style dumpling but they said it would be 25 minutes or so. I didn't have that much time so i just ordered beef with garlic sauce from their lunch menu. The beef didn't look or taste like beef to me. It was very lightly colored. I'm guessing it was actually slices of pork. That aside the dish was ok and not much different from other similar Chinese restaurants. read more

Crab Rangoons are amazing and so is the rest of the food. We got the beef fried rice and another noodle dish. It was very fast and the workers were very nice. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered food from here for supper. His was fine but mine tasted awful. It tasted like it was rancid or had cleaning product in it. I had a couple bites and to make sure I wasn't crazy, my boyfriend tried it and he had to rush to the bathroom because he literally almost threw up because of it. We won't be going back. read more

The sweet and sour chicken is amazing, perfect ratio of batter to meat. The Hot Pots are the specialty! Lots of dishes here and very quick service. I appreciate this place and especially the lady who always takes my order, She is very Nice. read more

I usually find there food to be very good, we order from there 3-4 times a month, they are so polite, but the last two times the food was over cooked and so hard could not eat. I think I am going to try some place else for a while. read more

Excellent Service, food and furnish is great too! Both American and traditional Menu are worth to try~ Recommend: General Tso's Chicken. All kinds Noodle Soup. BBQ probably the thing u must try! read more

I would give this place 3 stars for food and 1 star for service and ambience. On the positive side, they have both a Chinese menu and an American-Chinese menu (e.g., beef with broccoli). Both menus are written in English. My Szechuan fish strips arrived quickly and they were tasty and spicy. On the negative side, we ordered 2 entrées (Szechuan fish strips and Moo Shu Chicken) and one milk tea and our bill was almost $33. We ordered at the counter and the guy who took our order acted as if he were doing us a favor. He was like a parody of hostile wait staff you would see on Saturday Night Live. When they brought the food to our table, the woman refilled my husband's water and that was the extent of the service. The decor was okay but the TV was blasting some Chinese movie which made conversation difficult. This place would probably be okay for takeout or if you like watching Chinese movies. read more

The best Chinese restaurant I have ever been to! The owner becomes familiar with her customers and knows orders when you call. The food is always top notch and everyone I have brought here raves about the flavor! The food is densely packaged so you get a lot of food for what you pay for. I'm so sad to be graduating because I will have to leave China Dragon behind when I move away! read more

In terms of Chinese food takeout, this place is fine. I think the older Yelp reviews don't capture the rating level today. Food tastes like any other take out place. I can't say I've never had better, but it's far from poor. Looks like interior has been updated compared to some of the comments in the poorer reviews. read more

Ordered fried rice, and we received "Al dente" cooked rice mixed with possibly the least flavorful soy sauce ever made.

i have eaten here lots of time. Food quality is quite good. recently they add more new food which i like it very much. I enjoy eating here because I could always feel like home. read more

Our first time getting it, and we weren't happy. It tastes like someone cooked a bunch of food, left it out for hours, then re-heated it. We got the usual stuff we get from Chinese places, but this was probably the worst we've ever had. Wouldn't recommend. read more

First, phone number: 765.743.7770 since I had a hard time finding it when I first ordered. Second,this place is great, and easily some of the best Chinese takeout I've had since moving to Indiana. All these "poor service" reviews are straight up racist, and just plain wrong. True, some of the staff doesn't speak or understand English super well, but they've all been nice and appreciative to me. The food is good, and their crab rangoons are particularly good in my opinion. I've already been a few times and will definitely be coming back. I haven't tried the noodle soups but they look good. Don't believe the haters, this place is worth it. read more

This place is terrible and have a very bad attitude. I went with my boyfriend first time and we got mad with their horrible attitude. Second time I ask if they do delivery, they told me no; then they called me again said they are not busy so yes deliver. I told them what I want, and I said I want to pay with credit card, then they whispering a long time, told me they don't want to deliver! Seriously, you don't lie and treat ur customer like this. read more

Just had dinner at this place for the first time. I think this will be my last time here. Really bad attitude of the waiter. We ordered the rib pot and szechuan chicken, which suppose to be something authebtic. Oh hell, they are far from there! foods are overpriced. I will NOT recommend this restaurant for u. If you happen to be wondering im this area for food, I suggest you go to the Little Ceasars next door!!! read more

Best Chinese food in Lafayette area. People who claim the food is not good or service is rude are likely expecting the more common white western Panda Express type of Chinese. If mass produced us style Chinese food is what you are looking for this is not the place for you. read more

love spicy fish fillet pot, also add beef and tofu. it tastes great. want to try lunch special next time. read more

I think it's the best Chinese food I've had and they have both Chinese and Chinese-American food. The decor is lacking, admittedly, but it makes more sense when you realize the sheer number of hours the owner (I think) is there with her kid. Contrary to the other posts, the staff is not rude but quite friendly although the curtness may come off as rude. I interpret it as a cultural difference and not as disdain or apathy. Excellent food and friendly staff keep me coming back. Oh, credit is accepted but cash is greatly preferred like many places in town. read more

I just don't understand why they automatically add tips to my bill. We ordered @ the counter. No one ever came back and ask if the food is good. It is rude to enforce the amount of tips they preferred. read more

Mandatory Tip, holy god. Went in as a group of five for the hot pot, said the only table for six is not functional so we took the table for four. Shared a stove with a friend, taking the whole meal in reduced space. We refilled the drink (water) and the soup base ourselves and we took the menu ourselves and of course, returned it to order by ourselves. The service is really bad, let alone the food. The sauces are awful too. Later the wrong soup bases were served. In the end the waitress firmly required a 12% tip when I intended 10%. Why does this kind of place even exist :/ read more

Poor service. Cashier is a young man and extremely rude. My dish was about 8 dollars and somehow the total magically totaled to 11:45. Automatically added tips, I think. Food is average. I am extremely disappointed and will not be visiting again. read more

Save the time. Happy china has order online, and the food you expect. This place seems more like a Day care than a restaurant; usually there are more kids than adults there, and it seems more like a babysitting service. This place is a little less refined than w. Lafayette businesses and deserves the poor rating. I'll happily drive 5x the distance for slightly better food. read more

Do you ever have those times when you read a reviews for a restaurant and you think- well I"ll try it anyway? Wait til you see this place. I couldn't possibly describe it adequately- Its like a garage sale and a basement of a day care collided...seriously there are puzzles and stickers all over the walls- filthy menus, piled up junk in the corners the chairs were nice though.... smh. On to the food-Spoiler alert- it is worse than the decor. Ordered 3 dishes and an appetizer (chicken lo-mein, 2 Gen.Tso's and crab rangoon) $34.00. Everyone took 1-2 bites and we got up and left it all...grossest chinese food ever. Oil dripping out of the sugary sweet crab rangoon. The Gen Tsos tasted like ketchup. so sick. No argument -no bs, we all just got up and left. The lady chased us out the door and said "what wong?" My Husband politely told her we did not like it and she said "we been here 14 years - you first to complain food is no good." I highly doubt that. So if you read this- and you go there- You've been warned. read more

They open at 11 on Sunday. I called at 11:30, and someone answered. All could hear was someone talking quietly, and no one would answer me. I hung up and then tried again. I kept getting a message that the line was busy every time I tried to call back. The last time I tried calling it rang continuously but nobody answer. Doesn't look like I'll ever be ordering food here since it seems like you can't. China Dragon? More like China I wouldn't even bother. read more

I have been there several times. The food there are not bad.American people may not afford Chinese food there, because it is a little spicy than other Chinese restaurant in Lafayette. And it is not close to go for people who live on campus. The BBQ there is my favorite, I eat a lot every time I go there. And noddle bowl there are also really good. read more

Worst ever! Food is even not as good as what I cooked. What's worse, that's a shameless restaurant. They added tips on my bill, but they did not let me know. Then they showed me a tablet, letting me choose how much tips I will give them with the least being 12%. That's to say, they charged me tips twice! I wonder why they have the courage to ask for tips again when they have already added that in the bill! So shameless! The waiting will kill you, trust me. Will never be there again. read more

Worst restaurant in West Lafayette. Tastes bad but expensive, with a rude service, dirty place.

This place is a complete an absolute joke. Their sign on the door says they are open from 12pm-2am on Mondays but I am currently sitting in the parking lot at 12:21 with not a single person there. The door is still locked. At least 3 cars have pulled into the parking lot and left frustrated. Also, their "lunch special" menu says it is from 11am-3pm but that doesn't make sense because it doesn't even "open" until 12. Don't go here read more

The food here is absolutely disgusting, almost as if it was spoiled. The lady that works there does not speak English so I couldn't complain to her about it. read more
