When the food is this consistently good, the extra time in the car is absolutely worth it. My go-to order is the General Tso's chicken with fried rice and an extra order of crab rangoon. The chicken is always fresh, crispy, and coated in just the right amount of sauce. Nothing tastes like it sat under a heat lamp. Every meal has tasted like it was made to order. The staff is another reason I keep coming back. They're always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of your business, which makes every visit a great experience. I've eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurants around Omaha, and Dragon Wok has easily earned a spot in my top three. If you're looking for fresh food, generous portions, and consistently great service, this place is well worth going out of your way for.

Very little crab flavor, and its texture was damn near close to ricotta cheese but they were DELISH! Anyone else save the corners for a little texture in their next dish? No? Just me? Yall, I am telling you... their Peanut Butter Chicken was PHENOMENAL, and definitely have some real peanut on board. MUCH appreciated that. Their breading to chicken was by far, near perfection. More protein than breading is always a win-win in my book... it was like little puffs of breading, versus cakey/battery. Comes with your choice of steamed or fried rice, egg drop soup or hot and sour soup. Their Hot and Sour was SO good, with just the right amount of tofu. Highly recommended either honestly. Now the Sesame Chicken? Dare say I should've gotten that dish? It too, was AMAZING. Especially with those warm green peppers, onion, rich brown sauce that has just the right amount of garlic that made me ask kindly, with doey eyes, for a second piece off my husbands plate. SO good! We brought home a good amount for left overs tomorrow; assuming they last till midnight... We must've gotten in at the right time, because she was BUSYYYY with maybe 3 of the 15 (I could be completely off!) tables. Staff didn't just stick to one table, they were definitely tag teaming and that was neat to watch them work so well. We got checked on a few times and they're attentive as heck! We will DEFINITELY be back to try some of that Garlic Chicken and Cashew Chicken, extra cashews.

Both entrees were delicious. Authentic Kung Pao Chicken is the same as Chinese American Kung Pao Chicken except they use dark meat. That dark meat was so tender and moist! You must have their hot & sour soup. I think it's better than I've had in SFO or LA Chinatown. Go!

All she had to say was you had five orders and we divided them up evenly into two bags. She proceeded to record me with her phone when I was speaking to the cook and asking for clarity. I asked her to not record me without my permission and she continued to do so. This escalated so fast and I just wanted clarity. Throughout this whole process she continued to make nasty and rude comments and I couldn't believe it. The cook was very nice.

I ordered the General Chicken and the Awesome Chicken -- and honestly, the taste? Fantastic. Like, "I suddenly understand why this chicken is awesome" fantastic. But here's where the plot thickens -- unlike the chicken servings: * Price: Over $13 a dish and that's without fried rice. Want fried rice? 99 more cents. Ninety-nine. The psychological stress of that alone is worth a star deduction. * Delivery: Came fast in a super-cool bright orange bag. 10/10 on bag design. Most stylish part of the meal. * Egg rolls: They were fine. They existed. That's the nicest thing I can say. * The Bowl Situation: It's a large bowl. A promising bowl. Then you open it and... it's like 75-80% plain white rice with a little island of chicken in the corner going, "Help, there's too much rice!!" When I paid $45 on DoorDash for two bowls (and enough rice to cater a wedding), I expected more star of the show and less background actor. Final Verdict: The flavor is a superstar. The portioning is a conspiracy. Amazing chicken + Mount Everest of rice = (2 stars) I'll order again if I'm ever starving... or need to refill the world's rice reserves.
