    Dragon Court is kind of hidden at the end of a shopping plaza near the University of Central Florida on the corner of McCulloch Road and Alafaya Trail. I was in the mood for Chinese food and whole consulting Yelp for restaurant options, I realize that I had never tried this place before and as an added bonus, they were offering a free appetizer with the purchase of an entree. This honestly was one of the deciding factors for me, especially considering that their lo meins were about two or three dollars more than the average price of lo mein at Chinese restaurants on the eastside of Orlando. Anyway, when placing the order, the lady on the phone said that that was for dine-in only and if I read the fine print I would see that. I went to my phone, opened up the offer and there was nothing about this offer being only for dining in. Anyway, she said she would look at it when I got there. So, I ordered the broccoli lo mein and a Thai pork lo mein (I requested that the Thai pork lo mein be extremely hot and spicy). Both lo meins were about ten dollars each. For the appetizer, I went with the pork and ginger dumplings (normal price was about nine dollars). When I got to the restaurant, it was a bit shocking to see the place was relatively empty. In fact, only one table had people and this was on a Saturday night, prime time for dinner (about 6:30 at night). I mentioned that I had a takeout order and she mentioned both the lo meins, but omitted the free appetizer. I reminded here and brought it up on my phone. With a sigh, the woman at the counter went and brought out an order of the pork and ginger dumplings. Oh, if it matters to you. The woman at the counter was not wearing a mask. For me, it is not an issue, but I know that some are concerned with this so I wanted to mention it. When I got home, I tore into the bags. It has been awhile since I had Chinese food, but the takeout containers looked a bit small. While definitely not pint sized, I don't think that they were quart sized, either. I have to say that they certainly did not seem to be priced appropriately, especially at about ten dollars each. So, how was the food? Well, if you noticed the one star rating, this is where the experience really crumbled. The pork and ginger dumplings were cold for starters. It is obvious that they just threw some of the pre-made dumplings in a box. They also tasted like something that I woukd get from the frozen section of a supermarket. My Thai pork lo mein was also kind of skimpy on the pork and had little flavor. It definitely could have been hotter, but I don't begrudge that part because rarely do they make it hot enough. I asked how the broccoli lo mein was and they were not overly enthusiastic about it either, though they said that they had a decent amount of broccoli. I cannot see returning here. The whole experience was pretty dismal.

    Supposed to be fried orange pork.  I think it came from a dead human corpse with maggots.

    I honestly have to save that this is one of the worse meals that has ever been served to me and my wife. This is scary bad. It's supposed to be orange fried pork but it wasn't fried at all and most certainly not orange. We took one small bite and 2 hours later we still feel like we're going to puke. It literally looks like it came from a dead human corpse covered with maggots. Check the picture. Ladies and gentleman, good luck with survival if you go there. Yuk!!!!

    They use egg noodles instead of chow mein for Hong Kong Pan Fried noodles. Huge mistake.

    If your palate appreciates Panda Express, this is your spot. If you're in a frat or sorority, this is your spot. If you fancy the Chinese section in Golden Corral, this is your spot. Otherwise stick to Little Saigon for anything Asian.

    Was really in the mood for Chinese Buffett and this spot was marketed as a buffet on Yelp. Sadly, wrong. No Buffett. But we said hey, let's stay. They start off with crispy wontons (I believe that's what they were) as complimentary. It arrives with a duck sauce and a wasabi mustard. No flavor at all. Lunch specials were decently priced. We ordered dumplings to start ($6.50). Again, mediocre. I ordered the General TSO chicken meal which came with a wonton soup. Wonton soup was tasteless. The chicken dish came with fried rice, lightly breaded chicken, an egg roll and broccoli. Rice was nothing to rave about at all... and on top of that.. my chicken was undercooked.. yes, parts of my chicken were raw. Server took my meal off the bill as compensation, and it's not that any of this was her fault, it's just.. the quality of food was no good at all. I personally won't be back but hey, other people have had better experiences so to each their own :)

    I had a decent experience dining at Dragon Court. The food is average but the service is quick and convenient, the portions are plentiful (enough for most people to take home leftovers and have a second meal), the prices are decent, and the food is better than typical Chinese take out. I received a free appetizer checking in with the Yelp App. I chose the Dumplings which were soft and filled with ground pork. The appetizer was enjoyable but the ground pork could have had more flavor. The Cashew Chicken was a mountain of chicken pieces mixed with mushrooms, peas, carrots, water chestnuts, and cashews. The flavors were ok but didn't pop out as much as I expected them to. Most of the vegetables tasted as if they were previously frozen or canned.

    Yao’s - Shanghai Sticky Ribs

    Yao’s

    I've had Yao's on my list to try ever since the big Yelp party earlier this year (they had one of…read morethe best bites of the night), and I finally made it in for Magical Dining this past month. I took my friend to dinner for her birthday and it was the perfect chance to try a wide variety of their menu. They have a 4 course menu for Magical Dining, so it's definitely a great value for $40 per person. We both started with the chili wontons (pork) as our starter and we're glad we did because they were amazing and we did not want to share, haha. For the second appetizer, we did share the Shanghai sticky ribs and the tuna crudo. Again, both hits -- especially the ribs! I'm not usually a big rib fan, but these were perfectly cooked, tender, and fell right off the bone. The sweet chili soy sauce they're coated in with fried garlic is so tasty. For our mains, she got the Teres Major Steak (asian chimichurri, umami butter, gai lan, smoked salt) and I got the General Yao's Chicken (tempura battered served with rice). We enjoyed a few bites of each before we were absolutely stuffed. They were both huge, generous portions and we took home enough for leftovers the next day. Of course, we saved just enough stomach space for dessert -- I went with the black sesame soft serve (black tahini, brown sugar crumble) and she got the fried sesame balls. I think we both enjoyed the soft serve the most. I'm a sucker for anything black sesame. Overall, I was really impressed with Yao's and the service was very welcoming and friendly, despite being quite busy during Magical Dining. I'm looking forward to returning with my husband soon because I know he'll love it, too!

    Since the Magical Dining list came out I saw Yao's was on the list and I knew I had to go. You…read moredefinitely need to make a reservation if you want a guaranteed seat we saw many people get turned away without one. When you walk in it's nicely decorated and the bar has a lighted bar too which was nice. We were seated at a high top table that we shared with several other people, I would've preferred a table but no big deal. My husband and I ordered off the Magical Dining Menu and for the price you get an abundance of food, it's worth every penny. All of the food was amazing, we loved each dish. Everything tasted fresh, well seasoned, and all the meat was tender. As for desserts you definitely have to order the black sesame soft serve. Ambiance is cool & sexy a great spot for a date and the food is beyond any expectations you may have.
