    First time in SC and was looking for a nice asian place that was near. If you are looking for AUTHENTIC Chinese food with a lot of varieties then this is the place to go! Place is fairly clean, including the restrooms. Would highly recommend General Tso's dish under chef's specialties. You can never go wrong with hot and sour soup. The soup really awakens the taste buds, which is a really good sign! Their serving is also pretty good! The staff are also very friendly! I hope you try this place out! PS. They give HUGE water cups

    Sesame chicken and Fried Rice
    Bianca G.

    Drove through the area and wanted some Chinese, so I stopped by here. It was an interesting spot. It offered a pretty large seating area, but there was no one else there during the lunch hour other than one man sitting alone, and it was dead quiet. No music played out front or in the back kitchen. I found myself humming unconsciously trying to fill the silence. All that being said, once the food was ordered, it took a few minutes to get some hot, fresh food. And it was good. I was ready to taste the bland fried rice I've been disappointed to find everywhere, which tastes of tap water and diced onions, but this rice actually had some flavors cooked in! My sesame chicken was the usual ratio of more dough than chicken, but the sauce was good. And the plain lo mein was a nice surprise, as I've never had one that had warm garlic undertones before. Overall, not bad. I wouldn't mind coming again and maybe trying out some of their sushi.

    The food here is so tasty! We've ordered take out twice now and it has consistently been good. This will be our go to spot for Chinese take out. We ordered the General Tso's, beef lo mein and chicken on a stick with fries.

    This is my second time dining with Dragon Express and I am highly impressed! First time I came I ordered orange chicken and it was good but this time I was craving lo mein and came to check them out. I decided to go with the Szechuan lo mein oh my goodness it was nothing short of delicious!! Oiled perfectly and seasoned well!! Plentiful portion for it to be $6.50 for a small and I tipped her for the great service!! Highly recommend! I also seen their lunch combos and I'll definitely be back

    Bourbon chicken lunch special

    I got the bourbon chicken for lunch the chicken is great but the rice and egg roll were awful! The rice has no flavor and the egg roll is soggy.

    Boneless BBQ Ribs....So delicious!!!

    Not bad for the price. Not true hibachi chicken and steak but it's also significantly less expensive. Wasn't a fan of their shrimp sauce.

    The food was mediocre at best. I got take-out, and ordered sesame chicken with white rice and an…read moreegg roll. I did not get white rice, I got regular rice. What I don't understand about that, I was ONLY person in restaurant, so not sure how they messed up my order that I gave at the counter. The restaurant itself was clean I suppose, dated maybe, but looks like it gets very few sit down customers.

    Despite some of my 5-star reviews in the past, I've noticed some serious inconsistencies in their…read morefoods, as well as jacked up pricing (some with hidden fees). In light of all of these inconsistencies (and unfairness), I deleted all prior reviews. On my past 2 orders of General Tso Chicken, I noticed how they added maybe 3-4 Broccoli to the large order (HUH?!?). To combat their skimpy use of Broccoli, I ordered "EXTRA" Broccoli (with extra charge, of course) this time...and turned out that they managed to add maybe 4 more Broccoli to the order. WOW. On this latest order, the initial charge of this General Tso Chicken was over 16 bucks (restaurant pricing), with the Brown Rice and "Extra" Broccoli. I learned then that they charge you extra for Brown Rice. To me, that qualifies as "hidden fees". I used to think the pricing was really good here, but not anymore! Well, just to bring up this recurring issue of skimpy Broccoli, I called the restaurant...and the rep brought this issue to the kitchen...to which I could literally hear this man (Cook? Manager?) SCREAMING in Chinese in the background. OMFG?!? That was so rude!!! Even he must haven known that the caller could hear all that. I knew I wasn't going to get any money back...I was simply calling to point out their ridiculously stingy use of Broccoli in this dish. I actually got so worked up over this order that I forgot to take any pictures! Well, I had my say...and although I can't understand Chinese, whoever that was screaming bloody nonsense back in the kitchen basically responded in the crudest of manners...by SCREAMING. Again, just WOW. That qualifies as ZERO in customer service LOL! Like I've mentioned in my previous reviews, I've always thought the foods were pretty good at this joint...though honestly, there isn't much of a choice in this town for better Chinese. I've always liked their Singapore Noodle...and even this General Tso Chicken in question is good (I've ordered this several times over the years). However, I remember some seriously disappointing items here as well (really bad Fried Dumplings, for one). It's too bad that they can't stay consistent...and more importantly, fair with their foods (veggie portions?) and pricing standards. Obviously, my opinion of this establishment has changed greatly. Not to say that I'll never order from them again...but I will say that I am now very wary of them. In fact, when able, I plan on checking on the foods and pricing before leaving their premises.

    Since I moved from NYC I have been desperately searching for REAL Chinese food. Lee Cafe came…read morehighly recommended by another NayC transplant so I figured I'd give it a go. I ordered the sesame chicken dinner, wonton soup and an egg roll. The egg roll was soooooo small...super lint and little. I co my s from a place where one egg roll can be shared by two people. Thick and super stuffed. Forget that. It doesn't exist here. The mini egg roll was dry and you couldn't even tell what was in it. The wonton soup broth had a great flavor but the wontons were not fresh. They were gummy in a creepy kinda way. Frozen with freezer burn was my best guess. The sesame chicken was super super super OVERFRIED. Dry as a bone inside. This had clearly been pre fried and then fried again and dipped in a sticky sauce with weird texture. Kind of tasted like sesame chicken but the texture of the sauce and the dry chicken were disgusting. I spit it out. This place is a nicer version of Panda Express. If you like Panda Express .....bless your hearts than you might love this place. Those of us who have been exposed to amazing Chinese food at super cheap prices are not loving the Chinese food offerrings here in the Carolina's. Yuck

We got there early and the place was already packed with folks ordering take out, as well as starting to sit for dinner. The service was not impacted whatsoever. We ordered appetizers of edamame, miso soup, and crab Rangoon which all came out quickly and was delicious. The kids easily split the sweet and sour chicken and chicken lo mein which is their absolute favorite. My husband ordered the super boost roll and said it was incredible. I ordered the rainbow roll and it was also perfectly done. We were all stuffed, and my kids are already begging us to come back again soon. We will certainly be back again soon to try something else since the menu has so many options.
