    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

    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.

We made a visit on the 1st day and arrived right when they opened at 11:30 AM. Parking is available but it is in a lot with other businesses. However, it was busy at the time. I was lucky to grab one of the last few spots. It was even busier by noon. There are seating both inside and a little patio on the side of the store. We sat inside because it was hot that day and they were blasting the A/C. Restroom is available but will need a key. We took a look at the menu beforehand so I ordered right away. It only took a few minutes for it to be ready. There is a little water station available near their counter. Despite having a lot of sweet options, we came here for the savory options. The spicy tuna salad avocado and avocado egg salad croffles were our orders. The tuna one was honestly not that spicy but definitely hits the savory craving. The egg one leans on the sweeter side. Both of these were really good and were a good balance of flavor profiles together. Highly recommend both! Sweet Mong is easily a store I'd come back to try other dishes.

We chose the mango bingsu which had a bit of sweet cream, mango chunks & mango popping boba. Delicious & sweet but not overly so. The black sesame/red bean paste bingsu was more muted and apropos for Asian tastes. The large size runs about $4 more than the regular but is definitely more shareable. Service is counter serve and friendly. Basic modern decor with seating for about 40.

We ordered the Mango & Coconut with Sago, and wow... it was really good. Not overly sweet, which I appreciate because it lets the natural mango flavor shine. I honestly didn't want to share and ended up sipping it slowly just to make it last longer. One of those desserts you wish had unlimited refills. The mango pancake is an absolute must-order. The soft crepe wrapped around that light cream filling was perfectly balanced -- refreshing, creamy, and dangerously easy to finish in minutes. Service stood out too. The staff was friendly, patient, and helpful when explaining menu options, which is always appreciated if it's your first visit. Bonus points for packaging -- everything came in a really nice hot-and-cold reusable bag that felt thoughtful and premium. Now...the only real downside: parking. The plaza can get crowded fast, so expect to circle a bit or plan ahead during peak hours. Overall, Hui Lau Shan delivers fresh, mango-forward desserts that feel lighter, modern, and incredibly satisfying. Come for the mango drinks, stay for the pancakes -- and maybe allow a few extra minutes to hunt for parking.

My favorite drink is the Iced Butterfly Latte, a delicious banana-flavored latte that's both unique and refreshing. I've also ordered the Berry Ricotta Brioche several times, and it's always amazing. The menu offers a great variety of pastries, sandwiches, desserts, and specialty drinks, so there's something for everyone. Pro tip: Find a table before ordering!

Restrooms were really clean and had the same style decor too, so I appreciated that attention to detail. However, I docked 2 stars since I couldn't order anything. I arrived at 939pm, looked at the menu and decided on a slice of the Ube Crepe cake and one of the Apple Cinnamon macarons. They don't close until 10pm and people were still coming in, and there were still plenty of people sitting in the restaurant, but the staff didn't let me order anything at 945pm saying that she doesn't take any more orders after 930pm. What?!?! What the hell? You're open for a whole 30 more minutes and don't want to take my money - am I hearing that right? My friend had cash on him, and he was willing to pay cash if that's less of a hassle, and still no. It's not even to-go only, it was a flat-out no, before their 10pm closing time. THAT IS CALLED CRAP SERVICE. However, the 3 stars instead of 1 or 2 stars is because one anonymous employee who witnessed that go down changed my perspective of this spot. This person asked me not to reveal their identity on my Yelp review out of fear of getting in trouble. They overheard me trying to order but got turned away, then pointed to the macaron in a box in the fridge on display right there to my friend. So as I was walking towards the bathroom, this person (different than the girl who rudely turned me away) apologized for what happened and gave me the apple cinnamon macaron as a gift. That was so sweet of them. The macaron was absolutely perfect too, it was delicious - the perfect texture of the macarons, apple filling, in the center between the cream, with the crunch from I think they were dried apple bits on the side of the cream - amazing!!! But still insanely Vegas tourist trap rip off overpriced with the macaron that person gave me worth $8.35/piece. Honey & Butter Macarons in Irvine, CA or Durian Macarons at Sweet Mood in Westminster, CA, still keep their also delicious macarons under $5 each while having cute decor/ambiance (I'll admit they're not as impressive and unique as this spot though). But they're essentially banking on tourists not knowing any better and what things should actually be worth/gouging tourists as much as they can. Essentially, you're paying for the ambiance. Definitely not paying for the crap service. Food is good, but not astronomically priced good - you're kidding yourselves. You may be able to get away with stuff like that if you're inside one of the luxurious casinos on the Strip, like Venetian, Caesars, Bellagio, etc. But especially being off-strip, get a reality check. I may come back (thanks to your anonymous employee's kind gesture giving me that macaron), but it's more just to show my parents the cool ambiance.
