    Dragon Den Roll.  Spicy crab, shrimp tempura, cucumbers, ......delicious!!
    Bryan E.

    Surpassed my expectations. Love good Chinese food but despise mediocre places. This was an absolute pleasure. The staff was very attentive and while listening could tell they love their customers and knew all the regulars well. Food was hot fresh and very tasteful.

    Tai Qing Chicken (general Tso's with veggies)
    Lindsay H.

    We had been searching high and low for Chinese restaurants near our home. Turned to trusty Yelp ad were lead to Dragon Den for tasty goodness. This was definitely a Gen. Tso's kinda night...we each ordered a different variety and really appreciated that they even HAD options to choose from. I got a chef's special general tso's with veggies, Tai Qing Chicken, and my husband got the Dragon and Phoenix (general tso' s chicken and shrimp and veggies in a brown sauce). I really liked mine and though the meat wass pretty tender and sauce flavorful. Hubby felt the same, but thought it was strange that his mixed in veggies were in a different sauce than gen tso's. It made for a strange flavor combo. I must add that I LOVED the wonton soup that also came with crispy wonton strips. It was awesome. After seeing rave reviews about sushi, we were puzzled and bummed that they said they were not serving sushi when we called during dinner time. Staffing, perhaps?

    Spicy tuna toll..always served at the right temperature and not overly spicy for most. I always add a good dollop of wasabi!

    Our go to for the basics. Tea is always hot, portions are generous. Can't go wrong with cashew chicken or the house special fried rice. My favorite is the spicy tuna roll. They do not have a large sushi menu. But I'd put that roll up with any fancy restaurant. 2nd go to is the Singapore Mei Fun. 9 of 10 times richly spiced and served HOT! The egg foo young is GENEROUS sized. Service has been excellent 4.5 out of 5 times. But always with a smile and quick service or explanation.

    Chicken Pad Thai / Drunken Noodle
    Jennifer T.

    The pros: food comes out super fast, like Jimmy John's-fast. Granted I was one of maybe 2 customers on a Monday night so it probably did not take long to make my meal. However, it felt like everything came out within 5-6 minutes and it was steaming hot which is nice. I had only ordered Hot & Sour soup (quart $3.50) and a Chicken Pad Thai / Drunken Noodle dish ($9.50). The price point was decent for the portions and doesn't feel like it would break the bank. The Hot & Sour soup was a bit more on the sour side but some people might like that. I like mine a little sweeter as well but overall, I enjoyed it. It was decent, not the best I've had but good enough. The cons: depending how you look at it, the food was a bit bland. But that's maybe a good thing if you are not looking for a lot of sodium in the typical Chinese cooking. But because of this, the taste of both dishes don't seem to quite reach the bar. The Pad Thai/Drunken Noodle combo dish wasn't quite of either dishes. It has the noodles of the Pad Thai but contained mushrooms and green bell peppers which is different and I suppose can be used for the Drunken Noodle but they did not enhanced the flavors. It did not had the sweetness of a Pad Thai nor the spice kick of Drunken Noodles so for me this dish was a miss. Overall, the place was well kept and neat, and the service was nice and courteous so I give it 3 stars. It needed to hit the bar on food taste a bit more for me to get more stars. I am likely try other places before I go back here for another visit.

    In this is the jalapeño roll, dragons den roll with the prettiest set up

    They have the freshest tasting ingredients for their sushi. You can taste it with every bite. We were greeted immediately& instantly attended to. It was 2pm beginning of lunch rush, we got there first it was quiet with the tv on we really enjoyed our time. Love going there 10/10 crab ragoons 10/10 sushi chef - don't forget to tip

    I am vegan and they can make good vegan options! The server was very nice and accommodating! Honestly amazing food for the price.

    Chili oil, gotta have it!

    Ok, came here with the wife and was impressed by the huge menu. She got a couple sushi rolls, which she says for Knoxville, were ok. Probably three stars on the sushi. Looked great, but for the price, were just average. I had one of their signature plates, which was a concoction of all sorts of meats and seafood. Not bad. Came with a little rice and I opted for the soup over an egg roll. The hot and sour soup was pedestrian. Service is pleasant, knowledgeable and quick.

I can't explain how happy I was to find there's a location in Knoxville! I have had poke at other places and it just wasn't the same. I love the variety of topping choices! My bowl was delicious and service was very friendly. My preferred bowl is-- mostly greens with some rice, tuna, salmon, spicy tuna with extra soy marinade, edamame, pineapple, crispy garlic, onion, wontons, wasabi peas, some sesame seeds, a bit of sea salt, and both the avocado and wasabi dressings. Everything tasted so fresh. The bowls are filling and so enjoyable. If you've never tried poke, it's like a sushi salad or sushi bowl. The place has cute decor and was very clean. Bonus-- they have Dole Whip!

Ambiance 2/4: Cleanliness of the dining, restroom, and overall is lacking. Noticeable stained curtains and carpet, which is probably why they keep the lighting low. Restroom was a scary sight. Avoid. Service 3/5: not a traditional asian buffet in any sense. No open self serve buffet area. You order from a paper menu that the hostess provides at the beginning. You have to wait for a waitress to come take the order. Can't preview the food before you order, so you risk over ordering and wasting food. Would probably not come again.

What i iss the most though is the ability to self serve. Pre-pandemic, this place was more like a buffet, where you went and filled your plate with the food you wanted. now everything is ordered through the server and they bring you the items on individual plates. i much preferred to load the plat myself because i could decide how much or little of items i wanted, but now the portion sizes are set on the menu so for example, if i order crab rangoons, i get 5 pieces, when i might have only taken one or two pieces if i were serving myself on the buffet. Hoping one day they return to a traditional buffet, but otherwise this place has great food.
