We have been ordering from here since before the current owners and while the food has been consistently good with nice portions and hot when we get it from both owners, the new owners and their online ordering system is so flawed that it makes you want to go somewhere else. The last 3 or 4 times we have ordered online when we show up to pick up our order it is the same story " we just got your order" and when you show them proof you ordered it more than 30 minutes ago she always has some excuse, finds a way to blame others. Why bother to offer online order ahead service if it does not work?!? If the owners bother to read this review please try to get it together, your food is too good to be losing customers over something as simple as placing an order. Thanks read more

The food is terrible and not fresh! It was definitely frozen and microwaved. I was trying this spot for the first time so I ordered a few dishes... they were all so disgusting we threw all of the food out! I've never done that before but I honestly felt like the food was old and we could get sick. Shame on the owners for serving awful food and calling it Chinese. I wouldn't serve anything from here to my dog. read more

MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR ASIAN. i love the food, it's sooooo goood. I usually get a plain lo mein with chili oil. i've been eating here for years, since i was about 5. my entire family loves it. the fried rice is really good, along with their other menu options. read more

Hands down the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I didn't know that food could be this disgusting. I had the "fresh" scallops with Shrimp and Garlic Sauce labeled under *Chefs Specialties*. The menu stated this was a spicy dish. I got nothing that was fresh, spicy or special. It tasted like dirty seafood candy. My husband got Orange Chicken which unfortunately was much much worse. They were gelatinous lumps of soggy fried mush. He couldn't even find the chicken! Last but not least, our egg rolls were burnt to a crisp and flattened bc they piled all of our food on top of them in the bag. If you're craving Chinese food...do not go here. If this is your last resort and you decide to forgo the reviews and give it a chance like we did, go without. read more

20 years ago found this restaurant, relo in/out tried tonight and it was ready on time and really delicious! Great tasting food! Thank you Ken, thank you Kat! read more

This is my favorite place for Asian!!! The food is smazing snd price is right. Especially love that they drliver!!!

Quick and easy. Menu is normal takeout. Fried rice was not really good. Will likely try somewhere else before going back.

I knew the food was mediocre. I didn't expect anything fantastic, just quick and edible but this was hands down the most horrific dining experience I've ever had. I found a CHEWED piece of gum in my lo mein! It turns my stomach to even think about it. I've never been so disgusted over food. read more

Life saver - gotta love good options - great Chinese food and good service - guys were super friendly, food taste really good a the egg rolls are awesome read more

Dragon Express - Front door - Chinese Near Me - Huntersville, North Carolina

They've redone the whole place and it's so gorgeous! Everything is more modern and the customer service is amazing. The food is amazing, I love the egg drop soup. Every time I order it, it's always steaming hot and so are the chicken wings. They're awesome and I never have any complications with my order. There's always a smile on their face and everyone's just so nice. read more

I was very impressed! Food was great. Great price. Loved the Egg Rolls and Dumplings.

Have ordered online 3 times and each delivery was on time and delicious. Kids enjoy the fried rice. I enjoy the mei fun & egg rolls. read more

This place is under new ownership and the food quality is amazing. I would highly recommend this place

The food was mediocre at best, the bathroom was gross, and I got ridiculed for asking if they had pizza rolls. 'Um...this is a Chinese restaurant'. That's equivalent to calling me dumb. I'd give the food 2/5 and the rest 1/5. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

We are pleased to promote this restaurant for good food and delivery service. We have ordered several times and items are tasty, hot and plentiful. We are very happy to be able to order for delivery when so many others do not offer this service. Thank you Dragon Express. read more

The food isn't the issue. Being exhausted and too tired to drive I opted to order delivery. After an hour and a half I called the restaurant to ask about my order and was told it was out for delivery. I said something about the length of time and was told the driver has allot of delivery orders and then quickly said good bye and hung up. The food arrived 15 minutes after my call do 1 hr 45minutes for my order seems excessive to me. Needless to say the food was slightly warm not hot but Luckily I don't mind room temperature food. The most annoying thing was my order was not correct and I was missing my egg rolls which I really wanted more than the rest of the food. This happened once before so I'm done here.... moving on to a new Chinese restaurant. read more

This is good, AMERICAN Chinese food. Exactly like what you would get from a buffet style Chinese restaurant. If your a yuppie looking for chinese food, cooked in china with organic chinese produce, then go somewhere else. I've ordered delivery for my family twice from here. Both times the food arrived hot and fresh. Our dishes were crammed full of food, almost to the bursting point. Sweet and sour chicken dinner entree, Sesame chicken dinner entree, Orange chicken dinner entree and egg drop soup, everything was DELICIOUS!!! All the chicken was fully cooked, and not dry at all like others have said. The delivery time was 45 min, but its because we are pretty far from the restaurant, so its reasonable for us. Our dinners usually run $30 for 3 people, including delivery and tip. read more

I wouldn't even give this food to my dog. That's all you need to know. It's horrible and you will get sick and have diarrhea for days. Goodbye read more

this place is awesome i dont understand all the hate. been eating here for years ive never had an issue with wait time on delivery and im not even that close to them. food is always hot and delicious. seriously...i for the life of me cant figure out the bad reviews. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would without hesitation. The food was beyond disgusting. We didn't touch 3/4 of it after opening it on the table. We both feel ill after trying just a few pieces of chicken. So 50$ on Chinese food isn't too awful bit 50$ for disgusting Chinese food is not ok. Please please heed my advice and under no circumstances try to eat a single thing from this place. Oh and on top of that the service was horrific as well! read more

Will never go there again because of the rude lady who took my order named Neptune! I left Katie, the owner, a message to call me back and she never did! Also, found out the sanitation grade is C! read more

It's okay for a dirty hole. But, if you are looking for a good dining experience - this isn't the place. The food is cheap and cheaply made - the service is okay and they give you a free drink if you eat in. Although eating in in a dump like this? They'd have to give me more than a free drink... read more

Not gourmet eat in Chinese food. However ALWAYS an amazing delivery option. Great portions, fast friendly drivers. Food always as promised and hot. Really enjoy Pork fried rice it's enough for meal and leftovers. read more

If you like flavor with your food, avoid this place. I'm just letting the world know if I'm not at work tomorrow, I'm probably dead from food poisoning. Tell my mother I love her. Hard to continue by saying all jokes aside, because this place is the joke. No but seriously though, the absolute worst Chinese food I've ever had in my life. As much as I loath yelp, and how much I do not care about anyone else's opinion of food, AT ALL, this time I so wish I did take a look. read more

If you want cheap, enjoyable, American Chinese food, this place is perfect. Dragon Express is one of the only Chinese restaurants in the area that offers delivery, making it a great choice for the lazy. I eat there frequently, and the rice, the lo-mein, and the sweet and sour chicken dishes are fantastic. I definitely recommend this place for those with the desire to get a quick and delicious meal. read more

Food is decent, but customer service is terrible. I ordered online at 3:30pm to be delivered at 5:30pm for a scheduled family dinner, the food was an hour late. When I called to find out where my food was and complain, they would not even apologize, just made lame excuses and basically told me they didn't need my business. Not sure why anyone still orders from here, if anyone else in Huntersville started delivering they would put this place out of business. read more

When we want Chinese - this is where we go! We use the online ordering and we always have it delivered - it has never been delayed (even on the weekends). Great delivery service. The food has always been fantastic! We typically get multiple dishes including seafood, beef and pork. All delicious! Very confused about all of the bad reviews (?). read more

The most disgusting Chinese food I have ever had! Don't go here. I rarely give reviews but have to on this one

I would suggest you guys change your recipe for chow mein or at least state clearly that your chow mein contains 0 noodles, even though chow mein directly translates to "fried noodles" read more

This is Chinese takeout people and this restaurant is very good for it's class. It isn't gourmet and they aren't trying to be...we are talking about budget Chinese food here (you can get a lunch for a little over $5.00). If you are looking for good food, good portions and a great price with very friendly service then Dragon Express is your place. I would suggest the Hot & Sour soup, Sa Cha Chicken with Shrimp, House Lo Mein and Mu Shu Chicken. All of the food here is good - again it's not gourmet Chinese, it is - Budget Chinese Takeout. I recommend this place. read more

NEVER AGAIN,my wife went yesterday to pickup some dinner for us,the egg rolls were burned ,the mongilian beef was with lots of onions and no beef,the only good thing was the white rice.no more chines fast food. read more

This company is a joke. I ordered online for delivery. An hour and a half later I called to see where my order was at. Evidently, they didn't have it and it would be another half an hour.....Will never order from them again!!!! read more

I ordered here for the first time bc I heard they deliver quickly so I put in an order for chicken lo mein. An hour later I call and ask if they received my order. Turns out the delivery girl got on 77 to find me when I live about 3 mins down the road. So she finally shows up 1.5 hr after I put in the order and it wasn't what I ordered. What I received was a bland mixture of boiled chicken onion and cabbage in a pool of water. Absolutely disgusting. I have never reviewed a restaurant before but I felt a responsibility to steer people away from this disaster. read more
