    I've been seeing this place all over Tik Tok so I was excited to finally try. I went around 10:45 am on a Monday and luckily there was no line. I was greeted upon walking in, and I noticed the inside of the establishment isn't the cleanest nor is there much room to dine in. Now for the food, everything looked delicious and fresh. I got the two meat plate with orange chicken and the beef with onions/peppers, half chow mein half fried rice. Everything was soooo tasty it sas some of the best Chinese food I've tried in Las Vegas, no lie. Definitely worth the try

    Being an LA native, I've been on the hunt for a "ghetto Chinese food" spot. Basically meaning, a place that isn't panda, authentic, greasy, flavorful and big portions... Dragon Express is all that and a bag of chips! The flavors here are so different and delicious! They're so hearty and everything I was looking for! The orange chicken was crunchy and juicy. The beef was even better. Some of the best chewy chow mein noods! The cheese wontons were so fresh and so were the egg rolls. The women there are so sweet. I love the service. They HOOK IT UP! I like how clean it was in there as well. The area isn't the most popular but this is a diamond in the rough and I dream about the day I go back.

    Mongolian Beef

    November 5th Visit around 7pm. Yelp Review #39 of 2025 This business was highly recommended to us, based on generous servings and taste. I will say that this is a place that is definitely going to give you a bang for your buck. They do not mess around when it comes to your servings of chow mein, or fried rice. We tried the Mongolian beef, the Beijing beef, sweet-and-sour pork, walnut shrimp, orange chicken, teriyaki chicken, and salted pork chop. Although I don't eat much pork like I used to, I really enjoyed the sweet-and-sour pork and the pork chop. When I arrived, there was maybe six people ahead of me, but it took me nearly 20 minutes just to get to the front of the line, order my food, and then pay. [I passed by this location about a month ago, we decided to walk out because the line was about 45 minutes long.] Overall, it is slightly loud, but it's more because of the amount of people waiting in line and it is people being unruly. We would definitely go back and try this business again. Although we may not do the sweet-and-sour pork as it was too bready, same with the walnut shrimp.

    What a busy, fast paced environment! The staff seemed a but inattentive, but they might not me accustomed to the fast pace yet. I believe that Dragon Express blew up because of all the influencers that have been posting on social media. Food was okay, chow mein needed some seasoning in my opinion and was a but salty, bbq pork and orange chicken were both saucy, yet flavorful. Beijing beef had subtle heat, but no crunch, and the honey walnut shrimp were big and juicy, but lacking in flavors of sweetness and I also did not get any Walnuts? Pricing seemed fair until most of the side items are an up-charge. It was a nice pleasant day to check this place out, I left full and satisfied.

    Checking out the hype that everyone was raging about. I have to say its overrated. Can't believe everything you see on social media. The chowmein was salty, the mushroom chicken was salty, the orange chicken was more batter than chicken. The flavor is there, just too salty for my palate. My favorite would have to be the honey walnut shrimp, but they're stingy on that bc I had to pay extra for that side. Because they just open, I might give them another chance to settle in and improve their routine and recipe.

    today i came into the restaurant as soon as they opened because i heard it gets busy quickly. i ordered a (Plate C) 3 choice proteins of sesame chicken, teriyaki chicken, and beef broccoli with rice and chowmein. my total was $14. the fried sesame chicken had like subtle honey garlic flavor which it not bad i just wish there was some spice and the sauce did make the breading soggy. the teriyaki chicken had good flavor and grilled to perfection i personally don't like the amount of cartilage or bones i kept biting into. no complaints about the beef broccoli and i really like how the broccoli had crunch to it. staff was kind, patient, as worked really fast. i'd came back here to try more items and their desserts

    Went to Dragon Express for the very first time today and boy, I was shocked -- in a good way. It's a corner suite in a strip mall type of location in East Las Vegas. If you're looking for a big sign that says "Dragon Express", you're gonna miss it. Just look for the words "Chinese Fast Food". As you go in, it's like you're transported to a less branded Panda Express. Same lay out and food vessels and all. I went there right before lunch time so it wasn't as crowded as I thought. I was picking up a few plates and as soon as the gentleman plopped the chow mein in the to-go box, my eyes widened due to the sheer amount of food he placed. I even stopped him midway to let him know that I'm getting a combo plate and not just a plate of chow mein. He smiled and said "I know". I felt like such a noob at that point that I apologized to him and told him that it was my first time there. With three combo plates completed and as I head out of the restaurant, I realized the bag felt like it was about 10lbs (it probably was!). Came home and opened the containers and my assumptions were correct. Each plate was about 3lbs of food! Chow mein covered more than half the container, teriyaki chicken filled the rest and then some, then salt and pepper shrimp atop that. Personally, I requested for all veggies instead of the chow mein and fried rice. They had to cook it to order which was nice and much better option if you're trying to cut down on carbs. Overall, this place is great if you have a large family or just really hungry and prefer to spend on low-budget meals. For two entrees with chow mein and fried rice (Plate B) it's only $10.29!! I knocked down 1 star since some of the dishes were a bit oily and some lacking in flavor/salt. It's not a deal breaker, but it didn't wow me enough to give 5 stars. Would definitely go back again!

    Honey Walnut Shrimp
    Brianna M.

    The portions are HUGE. This food was SO yummy. Very flavorful. We loved it! The chowmein was honestly perfect. The orange chicken taste like 'authentic' orange chicken. The teriyaki chicken is so good, a little dry. The sesame chicken was also good, and so was the BBQ pork! I would definitely recommend this place. We were literally in awe at how yummy and affordable this food is.

    2 Plate C : (2) Orange Chicken , Teriyaki Chicken , Beef Broccoli , chowmein Noodle , Fried Rice Honey Walnut Shrimp
    Lei G.

    Ordered through Grub Hub, packed nicely and delivered quickly. The plates were both fully packed with generous portions and amazing flavors! The Mongolian beef was smoky and spicy but very flavorful. The honey walnut shrimp and orange chicken was crispy and crunchy. The amazing seasonings of the beef and broccoli paired well with the fried rice and chow mein noodles. The noodles were cooked and I could taste the lack of msg seasonings compared to other similar restaurants. This is definitely our new favorite spot! The churros and sugar donuts are deep fried and melt in your mouth. Thank you for the great service, ambiance and amazing food! And for being so close to our apartment!

    Panda Express can't tough this spot, took my mom here for lunch and we both loved it, huge portions, quality food and lovely people. The honey walnut shrimp was the absolute best and I asked for a bed of broccoli instead of noodles or rice and the vegetables were cooked perfectly with lots of garlic. I will for sure be back

    BBQ Pork, Fried Rice, chow mein, Mongolian Beef
    Irma F.

    Really excited about this place. Great food, even better price. They overfill the container. Definitely good to share. I had half fried rice/half chow mien with pepper shrimp, bbq pork and some steak and potato dish that was sooooo good. No wonder the place with super packed.

The dining area is long and narrow with vaulted ceilings, very high end Chinese decor mixed with a modern contemporary vibe in the lighting and the furnishings. You turn down the lights and it's definitely a date night type of place. The service was phenomenal from beginning to end. Alex took care of us from walking in all the way to dessert He was witty, funny and took the extra time to explain the intricacies of the dishes we inquired about. The experience was phenomenal lead by him and backed up by the kitchen and the rest of the team. He talked us into the duck special which came with duck soup, salt-n-pepper duck and whole duck carved at the table by Alex. Duck Soup - Delicious and savory broth. The cuts were tender and delicious. The best I've had in a long time. Salt N Pepper Duck - A crispy duck dish I've never had before. Good times. Guo Bao Pork - Creative, delicious and I understand why this is a feature dish. Green Beans - Perfect veggie pairing for all this food. The portions were so generous and I had 3 containers of food to take home for dinner. I appreciated the birthday dessert at lunch to finish off the experience. Well, that was a fantastic first visit. It definitely won't be the last as I see a dinner visit in the near future. Cheers!

Our favorite dishes were the Sizzling Beef in Black Pepper Sauce, Braised Sea Bass Clay Pot, Chili Fish Soup, and Green Beans. The duck was decent, but a but gamier and less oily and juicy than most of us were used to. We had higher expectations for the Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in chili sauce. This is a cold appetizer which was fine, but did not have the depth of spice or aromatics that we were hoping for. Unfortunately the crispy beef wasn't great in our opinion and reminded me personally of the meat quality at Panda Express. Maybe this dish was meant to cater more to the Western palate. Service was relatively quick, including our duck being sliced up. The interior is elaborately decorated which surprised me as the building appears to be quite simple from the outside. I would consider visiting again next time I'm in the Vegas area.

Our server was pleasant and amicable. He attended to us frequently throughout our dining. Other lady servers brought us our food timely. Thank you All! Menu offers quite a variety... reg dim sum, delicious dim sum, chef specialties, house specialties, super dim sum, vegan no-meat dim sum, congee, noodles, rice dishes, appetizers, entrees, lunch specials, and more. Prices of the dim sum vary from $5.98 and up. We chose a handful of dim sum and one Shrimp & Pork Wonton Egg Noodles. Overall, dim sum was decent. A few of them could have been better in preparation, flavor, and taste. Wonton noodles were tasty. *Bean Sauce Chicken Feet - skin was on the tougher side, could have been more tender, sauce was too thick, flavor was okay *Crispy Taro Pancake - top layer was crispy, but taro fell apart when picked up by chopsticks *Egg Tarts - light and flaky crust with soft, smooth & jiggly egg custard filling, amazingly good, definitely would get again, wished it came with 3 instead of 2, they are bigger than normal egg tarts, but still *Fried Pork Ball - just okay, nothing special *Golden Sand Lava - huge baked bun with lots of oozing sandy egg yolk, must get! *Shrimp Dumpling - full of shrimps in thin skin, tasty filling, good size, worth the price! *Shrimp & Pork Chives Dumpling - more chives than shrimp and pork, flavor was mediocre *Shrimp & Pork Shumai - surprisingly flavorful, but wished there was more shrimp than pork Glad we got a chance to try this place.

Food was all very delicious. Dim sum was on the pricier side, but totally worth it. Great dining experience here overall! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're around Chinatown in Las Vegas! And I'll definitely be back to the Tustin, CA location - and recommend that spot as well for people in the Southern California area!
