I was really pleasantly surprised at how good the food was at Dragon Villa. I've passed it for years, but after a wake nearby, my brother and I grabbed some dinner there. The waitstaff was attention and sat us soon after entering. It was pretty busy. I ended up getting the combination plate, since I'm vegetarian- I got the vegetable lo mein and asked for meatless fried rice instead of the pork one that normally comes on the combination plate. I also was able to substitute a spring roll in place of the egg roll. I'm so glad I got the combination plate because WoW the fried rice was awesome. I'd definitely go back just to get the rice. The spring rolls and lo mein wasn't bad either but I don't like water chestnuts so next time I will ask to omit them! read more

Dragon Villa - Vegetable Lo Mein Combination plate with meatless fried rice and a spring roll. Very tasty! Especially the rice! - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

Starting off with what we got; first the bread is not bad just plain old bread. Then the egg drop soup, it was like a weird goop and I would not recommend. Then we got our other sides, and they gave us the wrong side.Then our main course: not bad, got the shrimp lomein, big portions.P.S.never got my drink i ordered a Shirley Temple read more

Dragon Villa is super yummy and consistent! Since discovering the restaurant I can say that they have some of the best Chinese food in RI. Drinks are super yummy and cheap (can be on the stronger side but who's complaining)? Servers can be okay. read more

Dragon Villa - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

See all

Walked in at 8:20 and was told we couldn't sit down that they were closing in 45 minutes. Bad way to run a Business. No wonder they're not busy like they use to be. read more

I love this place ! Always the best food, best prices and the best/friendliest staff. If you want the best food come here you won't regret it. read more

Delicious food. Always fresh. Bar needs a little help. Overall good experience. Nice place to sit and eat with all your friends.

This is a go to location. Well personally, don't care to eat in there, (I feel it's too dark) the food is good and the prices are as well. If you ask for some things specific, they are good to accommodate. Good prices and portions. read more

This location is pretty close to the apartment. I just moved into so I figured I'd give it a try. There are 1 million Asian restaurants around town. It's hard to find a good one. This one definitely does not make the cut although their general sales sauce is very tasty. There was like no chicken. It was all breadingvery unfortunate will not be back. read more

Our favorite Chinese restaurant in N Providence closed so we were looking for a new one We chose Dragon villa because they have been open for years. We ordered a lot of food. The chicago chow mein and the pork strips were good. However the chicken wings, the shrimp and the lo mein were really dry . Big disappointment. Haven't tried the egg rolls yet so I can't comment on them. We threw the to go menu away and will not be returning. Especially because on top of everything else it was expensive. read more

Although this restaurant has been around awhile, my wife and I have never been there and decided to try it out on the advice of a friend. Glad we listened! I had what I consider to be the best general tso chicken I've ever had. My wife had the Chicago chow mein combo plate and thought it was average but flavor seemed authentic. Won ton soup was excellent and full of pork. Cabbage , and won tons. 1 complaint,: extra charge for crispy noodles. Not a big deal as it wasn't an unreasonable price. I guess I was just surprised. One of the only Chinese that still serves rolls before dinner. Another disappointment was duck was not on the menu. We will dine here again! read more

To dine in is amazing the food is awesome the best Chinese food ha da down i eat there all the time but had a bad experience tonight in order online and had it delivered they use the app beyond menu to deliver it was a terrible experience will never order from a restaurant that's use beyond menu for delivery .. but I will continue to eat there in person the food is amazing and so yummy and the customer service at the restaurant is excellent but the delivery service they use is terrible.. read more

Food is always consistent, bar vibe is really cool on a Friday night. The place could definitely use an update, but great spot for meeting up with friends and having food and drinks. Half priced apps at the bar are great too! read more

We had to send the wonton soup back because it was barely warm. When the combination plates arrived at the table, the crab Rangoon's were not hot. The rest of the food was in the same condition. This used to be our go to place, but not anymore. This was the second time that we were disappointed there and it will be the last. read more

Excellent food, excellent service and a great ol'timey lounge. I highly recommend this restaurant especially if you want a late drink/appetizer delicious, delicious it also delicious. read more

Dragon Villa - Clean hospitable, waiting area - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

I honestly think this is the best Chinese food in Rhode Island. Everything is absolutely delicious.

True Score: 3 Stars What can I say about this gnarly Pawtucket "Lincoln" institution? First it's a great value for food prices with big portions. Food is a 5 out of 10, but it is Chinese-so it's always a subjective opinion. Now is the place a bit on the ghetto fabulous side absolutely. The bar area is trip. Loud, karaoke, vulgarity, and definitely interesting. This place is made for the locals crowd that it draws. I can't recommend it, because I think some people would be intimidated. However, I can't tell you not to go because it is quite spectacle especially on karaoke night. Be prepared to meet some interesting possibly shady characters. Thanks read more

Not the freshest beef and the dumplings were barely steamed and very doughy. They are quick and very nice.

So it was my first time there. Applause ? Thanks but no need because it was trash where I'm from. I took out the General Tso's Chicken served in a portion controlled takeout container. Placing it in my car it carried no aroma. The amount of food for $10.75 didn't match up at all. Would've been nice to include a fork so because I was out and about and was forced to eat with my hands. The chicken wasn't tender. The egg roll ? Miniature and overcooked. One tree of broccoli in the corner and a torn off piece of bread. Pork and onions were incredibly scarce in the fried rice therefore tasted bland. Only thing good was that the sauce was hot. No return to this joint. It's not for me. read more

Dragon Villa - General Tso's Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

Food is always good and made to order! Service is excellent too. Best wings and chow menu around

I've only gotten take out food from the Dragon Villa, but it has always been great. The dining area looks a little plain inside, but the service inside (getting orders to go) seems decent in my opinion. I've gotten food from here quite often and the quality, portion size and value is very good. I've only had a couple of issues when some food items were not in the order, but we called and they made good for it. The parking lot is a little tight and hard to get out of if you park close to the building. I recommend parking a little farther from the building, or at least on the outer side of the parking spaces. This is one of the few decent Chinese restaurants in the area, so I would recommend it. read more

The food is really good. But it took way too long for them to make my food. I've never had to wait almost a hour to get Chinese food. Then they blamed it on the fried chicken wings needing to be cooked that long. read more

Went last night to dine in with my boyfriend. Met him in the bar and based off the music... We felt like we were in 1992. But don't blame it on the rain, blame it on the other patrons who were in there choosing the tunes! Great for people watching for sure! We moved into the restaurant area. So... we caught a case of the giggles when we first sat down and our waitress was having a really good time with us. But by the end she had lost her laughter and just wanted us out! Very hot and cold. I had to go meatless due to Lent so I ended up with a combo plate of lo mein and friend rice. Nothing too exciting but cooked just fine and the rice is even better with their delicious sweet and sour sauce! He had the chicken wing combo. He said the wings were small and needed just a little bit of seasoning but fried just right! We also got down with the 'funk.' A drink identified on the menu as a few delicious liquors ladies love combined. It was strong! And in a tiki cup- bonus points there. But there was a garnishment of fruit on a long toothpick across the top of the cup. Here's where things get blurry and not from the drink... There was a slice of lemon or orange that was really dry and the peel had blueish green ground into it. I say lemon or orange because we are just unsure! Let's just say it wasn't fresh and leave it at that. read more

Food taste like it's been out all day, not refrigerated. Very dated interior, dark and gloomy. Bathroom was very dirty, floors were sticky, gross. read more

Only one good waitress in the restaurant and she wasn't working. We walked out after we asked for waitress and we were waiting and owner replied she came to our table many times. The repeat trips was she was forgetting everything. After 15 minutes of waiting and 3-4 tables occupied we walked out. Never again and bad attitude from management. It's a matter of time....it will close with that poor business model. read more

Okay so don't expect anything. This place is a straight up dive. I also wouldn't use the bathroom but you be the judge. I placed an over the phone order because this place doesn't have a website or an online menu which doesn't really make sense considering what they charge. I ordered a PuPu for 2 and an order of chicken teriyaki; shouldn't break the bank, right? Welp, I was never told a total over the phone so I had no idea what to expect. I never thought it could be over 30 dollars because as of 4 years ago, the PuPu for 2 was around 16 dollars. I walk in and it's just drab. No life no hope. So I find the door to the seating area and I'm met with this really irritated looking woman behind the counter. She asks my name and grabs my food and says 42 dollars and blah. I'm like what? No way, and she's explaining to me how the establishment and the owners don't claim anything online and if people get prices wrong it's not their fault etc... I'm saying well the owner should at least check yelp or update some of the things online so that customers can make informed decisions. She was talking over me at this point and saying the owner wants nothing to do with any of the internet. Avoid here. They're rude and don't care. The bit of overcharging in previous reviews ARE TRUE. I didn't even get an itemized receipt so trust me they're tipping themselves which is gross. Also, the food was put in the bag like this. Food was hot but their oil is old. Eventually, old oil will kill you. Do with that what you will. Hmu when you find a good Chinese place around here. read more

Dragon Villa - Chicken Teriyaki with sauce everywhere. Owner doesn't care though. - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

My family has been coming to this place for years, visited from out of town yesterday, ordered egg foo young rice and sticky wings. As I was enjoying my egg foo young I noticed something black, I cut a little more only to realize there was a dead roach in my food. I thought about going to get my money back but honestly I don't want to be anywhere near that place. Wouldn't recommend. Zero stars. Disgusting ! I threw up all night! read more

Dragon Villa - A roach in egg foo young. Had I known the recipe called for roaches I would've have never ordered!!! - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

Honestly Dragon Villa has ruined other Chinese food places for me. From there orange chicken to the crab rangoons, everything is so good! Me and my boyfriend were seated at 8:25 and our food came out by 8:40! It was hot an delicious. The music is great and the decor. I highly recommend. read more

It's usually moderately good but I went tonight for dinner because it was my pregnancy craving and my dumplings were raw in the middle completely and the lo mein tasted earthy like the dirt on the ground . Never will get my money again . So bad read more

Food was mid, it could have had more salt and the orange chicken was too sweet. The service was not that good. Found and old shrimp under my table,,, read more

I ordered Boneless Chicken with brown gravy and drove 15 minutes to pick it up, 15 minutes to drive home. And guess what, no brown gravy. How do you forget brown gravy when it's right in the description? That is what makes the whole meal. Called them, they wanted to know if I wanted to come back. Waste another half hour and come home to cold chicken. No thanks. So I got a sorry. Thanks loads. Not even a come back another time for a free meal in place of the one I ruined for you. The meal went in the trash. Poor customer service. read more

Decor is literally going on like 20 years now lol. The food is mediocre typical Asian American junk food and what makes this place unique is they bring you a bread roll to start the meal off and it literally seems like they have maybe a big ol pile of them out in the back and they throw um on a plate and bring um to you. The place just gives me the wonder what that kitchens like vibes. read more

Excellent food of the type you would expect in an American Chinese-Polynesian restaurant. One of the best around. Food quality is good, drinks are good, wait staff are friendly, and prices are reasonable. read more

I was perusing the internet for a Chinese restaurant in Rhode Island, and stumbled upon Dragon Villa in Lincoln, RI. It's a stand alone restaurant in a strip mall, (not a strip mall Chinese restaurant) and this place is about as real deal as you can get. I base worthiness of a visit to a Chinese restaurant on whether or not they have flat noodle Lo Mein, or buffet style round noodle Lo Mein. I find the restaurants that offer flat noodle Lo Mein are of higher quality than those of round noodle Lo Mein. I looked at photos of Dragon Villa's food and found them to have the flat noodle Lo Mein. Dragon Villa serves rolls and tea when you sit down. The wife and I ordered a scorpion bowl for two, it came out in a heavily used bowl that showed decades of use, and it packed a punch. We ordered scallion pancakes, and they came out blazing hot and perfectly cooked. This is also a test to see how hot they keep the fryolators, because some places cut back on the heat to save money on energy at the cost of poorly cooked food, and if they're cutting back on the fry temps, they're cutting back on the heat of the woks. I ordered a small order of vegetable Lo Mein, and it was very good with plenty of garlic, and a rich sauce that coated the flat noodles, and the Lo Mein was loaded with crisp fresh veggies. It's a 'must get'. Dragon Villa offers lunch and dinner combos, so I got the shrimp egg foo dinner, and subbed with shrimp fried rice, and a spring roll. The spring roll was cooked just as good as the scallion pancakes, and the rice was plentiful, piping hot, and had that old school million dollar flame kissed taste. The egg foo was perfectly done. The egg foo are large, but thinner than others, and were loaded with all the goodies. The egg foo gravy there is the perfect flour based gravy, and it smothered the egg foo in perfect gravy goodness. My wife got general's chicken, which she said was "absolutely the best!" It was "tender, unsus chicken", that appeared to me to have a perfect coating, and a delightfully rich sauce. Dragon Villa knocked it out of the park. The only issues we had was that the restrooms are not very accessible, and they served hot mustard in a vinegar base, instead of a simple water base, so it don't have that sinus clearing zippiness I've come to love. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. The dining room was neat and tidy. The owner took the time to chat with us a bit, and we took home the extras. Great place! read more

Stopped in for some apps and a scorpion bowl to split. Everything was fresh and delicious. I especially liked the sticky wings. Good prices and friendly service. Will definitely be back! read more

Dragon Villa - Chinese Near Me - Lincoln, Rhode Island

First off let me say that I've been ordering food from here for years now....it always good....well I don't know who you guys had in the kitchen tonight, but the food was terrible....worst I've ever had it....and I order from here often....had to be the worst General Tso chicken I've ever had....and the house fried rice, that I ALWAYS get.....was awful, never tasted it so bad since I've been getting it there....extremely bland, even put soy sauce on it and it didn't make it better... It looked like you guys had a party going on in the back....but if you can't do party's and keep up with the level quality in your food, then maybe you shouldn't do party's on a Saturday night considering it's one of the busier nights of the week......I don't think I'll be returning for a while after tonight....big disappointment read more
