This visit I ordered the special pork belly bao and red curry, neither of which was exceptional. The bao is covered in thick, cloying Hoisin and the belly was more like bacon than luscious pork belly. The curry came with rice and was loaded with veggies, but the spice level and creaminess I've come to expect over the years was missing. On the bright side the service was quick and friendly!

We came between rushes so of course there were only a few tables filled.

Good, not great. Very good service. Nice place, wide open and feeling more like a sports bar with a Chinese restaurant attached on the edges. Lots of booths. You can see where the buffet used to be. The typical Chinese American menu options. Plus, bar and grille type items. I got my standard tester, Mongolian beef and crab Rangoons. Both have fairly subtle flavors, but places can put their own spins on them. The crab Rangoons here were clearly frozen, filled almost entirely with cheese. Just OK. And sadly, the Mongolian beef was only a little better than just OK. A few pieces of tender beef in a mild sauce, onions, good amount of green onions (which I prefer.) And some bamboo shoots, a little unusual in this dish. All over some of the crispy rice noodles, whichsadly aren't used everywhere. I ate most of it, and the pretty average fried rice beside it. But I don't think I'd come back. Nothing stands out. Prices were decent. Easy access across from the mall. Plenty of parking.

Ambiance/Atmosphere: it's small and clean on the inside. When really busy it can feel pretty crowded. Food: The food here is really good. I don't eat Chinese food all that often, but when I do this is definitely the go to. Orange chicken: excellent tang with the subtle orange flavor and always fresh and vibrant. Crispy, juicy, and every bite full of flavor. Best orange chicken I've had. General Tso: A delicious rendition of this classic American Chinese dish. Crispy, flavorful, spicy, but still a slight sweetness. This is a must order every time. Honey chicken: The crispy honey chicken is really good. The crispy salty sweet chicken is a perfect subtle sweet pallet cleanse from the other more savory items. Chicken and broccoli: An excellent pairing with fried or white rice, plenty of chicken and broccoli in the portion. Flavor is good and not oily, but really just your average chicken and broccoli. Cream cheese wontons/crab Rangoon: Crab Rangoons are my mom's favorite and so whenever they're on a menu it's a must grab and Dragon Village executes these perfectly. Great pairing with the sweet and sour sauce. A delicious balance between a slight sweet and savoriness of the cream cheese filling with the crispy shell. Egg rolls: The egg rolls are delicious. Crispy, flavorful, and packed they truly are a fantastic pairing.
