    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!
    Mike W.

    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.

    Really solid Chinese spot. They have Asian fusion but I love their beef and broccoli. The hibachi isn't bad either but didn't really shine

    I went out to dinner with my mom and some family friends this past Wed. There used to be a really…read moregood Chinese restaurant in Knoxville...honestly i don't remember its name or location but it doesn't exist anymore. My mom said Asia Kitchen is the best Chinese in the city now. Unfortunately if that is correct, then it makes me very sad. I have eaten at "Real" Chinese restaurants before and this is not close imo. I got Szechuan Beef...this is supposed to be a very spicy dish. My order was not spicy at all...not saying it was bland, but it didn't have the "kick" I was expecting. My mom shared a whole steamed fish with her friends. They did enjoy it, but it wasn't for me. I have decided to bump my rating up to four stars because of the wonton/egg drop soup. I didn't even realize this was a thing. We got one large serving and it was plenty for the table. Finally the reason i didn't give 5 stars was because of the table service. The others brought wine , but i ordered a Diet Coke when we were seated. Unfortunately it never arrived...our server acknowledged my order, but I guess she forgot during the dinner rush. I did have water so I didn't complain. Overall dinner was ok...it was very nice that we were allowed to take our time.

    A robust menu with a lot to choose from. All of the standards plus more traditional dishes…read more Food was great and service was personable. We will return next time in the area.

    It was time for my family to venture from our normal Chinese food place and try a new place. We…read moreheard good things about the food and pricing so we were excited to try! We ordered a LOT so we could sample things- it was about $74 and around $84 after tax's and fees. Ordered was (also note combos include egg roll and either a type of rice Pelli mein): -Beef and broccoli combo white rice -Chicken lomein combo chicken fried rice -Egg drop soup -Extra egg rolls -Pork egg foo young -And moo goo with no mushrooms The eggs rolls are AMAZING! Would totally eat 10. Egg foo young was good and the sauce was interesting. It didn't taste like traditional brown sauce and had more of an almost sweet flavor but very slight, and the color was like chicken gravy and not even brown. Lo mein was good and had decent flavor, but border line bland. The white rice was nice and fluffy and not hard. As for the chicken fried rice it was very bland and very dry-super disappointed in that. Beef and broccoli combo with white rice was good and had good flavor. Food portions are small. The combination platters are not shareable so just a heads up. I would say overall the food flavor was decent but my normal Chinese place, there is a lot more flavor so I don't think we will be back as it wasn't quite worth the almost 40 minute drive to and then 50+ back home with traffic. But if you're close and want some decent inexpensive Chinese food-this is your spot to try! Oh and note if you're doing take out- you have to order and pay $1 for sauces. We got no sauces with our egg rolls and I noticed after you have to purchase them in packs. UPDATE: I have never in my life experienced such bad bloating! My brother and I both got sick after eating! We both look 8 months pregnant and have never experienced anything like it! Changed my rating to 2 stars!
