I've dined at Eastern Dragon multiple times during the last year. Because I'm more of a Japanese food guy, I've never touched the Chinese food. So I'm here for you all with a PSA: The sushi at Eastern Dragon, unlike some Yelpers here argue, isn't anything special. If you like California rolls and shrimp tempura rolls and that weirdo soy paper wrap, maybe you'll like this place. But if you yearn for luscious tuna sashimi, pine for freshly grated wasabi root, or crave real miso soup, move along, samurai. Beyond the flat-tasting fish and the lack of sushi selections, there are a few strange details about this place. *The staff seems to have worked out a bizarre means of communicating orders via intercom. At various moments throughout your meal, the inconspicuous adult contemporary music will be interrupted by the harsh, crackling din of garbled restaurant code. What is this? The Hunt for Red October? *The employees' children ricochet around the restaurant, squealing and squeaking. Sometimes they'll be sitting at the sushi bar furiously scribbling in a coloring book, which is lovely if you enjoy the smell of crayons with your yellowtail nigiri. *Eastern Dragon has one poor sushi chef making all the sushi for the restaurant. Now, granted, because most people are ordering General Tso's Chicken here, he's not burdened with tickets. However, I've been to the restaurant on two instances when the sushi chef had a cold and continued to make rolls, sniffles and all. Find a backup for this guy, please! *Said overworked sushi chef is good at his job, but possesses a limited knowledge of the cuisine he prepares. On one occasion I ordered sweet (raw) shrimp; he served me cooked shrimp. On another, I asked him if they have any quail eggs for the ikura and he shrugged his shoulders. The one time I asked for uni? He giggled. Look, I understand this is a Japanese-Chinese mutant-restaurant IN A STRIP MALL IN QUAKERTOWN. This isn't New York City. This isn't Philly. But you know what? Hachi, a new Japanese fusion restaurant 15 minutes south, has sweet shrimp. They've managed to magically procure quail eggs and uni. Their fish has flavor! Flavor! That said, if you're looking for coloring buddy, you know where to find one. read more

If I never ate at another Sushi bar the rest of my life, I will die a happy man! Here is another jewel in the Fairmont Shopping Center. Service is typically very good and the food is typically excellent. Only on rare occasion do I not ordered sushi or sashimi; I have never been disappointed. Fish is fresh and presentation is well done. The Love Boat for two is highly recommended. Don't forget to try the mochie Ice cream, you won't be disappointed! Careful on drinks, they are billed per glass, no refills. BYOB is nice. read more

Not a bad place. They're not my favorite Chinese food in town, but if you want a sit down place with pretty good food in Qtown, this is the place to go. As far as sushi, it's okay, if I'm craving sushi, this is where I'll go in town, but I don't usually go out of my way to order it. The staff is friendly, the portions are large and the food is good. read more

Extremely slow service for a Tuesday night. Never got water or tea until it was 25 minutes into waiting, Always get same thing Shrimp General Tsaos - tonight sauce was thick and somewhat burnt taste. Had a lobster roll that was delicious. Was not pleased and very surprised because we usually love it there. read more

Food tastes ok but not worth price; example, 2 slices yellowtail sashimi $5.50, 2 slices salmon sashimi $5.50. You could get 10-12 pieces someplace else for $10-14! read more

The food is okay. The General Tso's was not very crispy and a little overly syrupy. The dumplings were good and the wonton soup was also good and had a lot of wontons. The portions were also small for a Chinese Food restaurant and prices were higher than others. Isn't my go to but perfectly acceptable for Chinese food. Also doesn't deliver which is a big downside read more

I had the wonton soup (which is all I ever order from chinese places). I love love love wonton soup. And this place was actually disappointing. The wontons were mushy and falling apart. Normally, Ive seen chinese places store the steamed wontons in a steam table to keep warm and then add them to the broth per order (to prevent mushyness). The broth was also watery. I added soy sauce to make it saltier. Ive never had to do that before. I just figure if something as simple as wonton soup wasnt good then the rest of the food is probably lacking as well. I gave 3 stars giving them the benefit of the doubt. read more

I ordered online for delivery, and requested delivery for an hour and twenty five minutes later. The order never arrived, and when I called an employee told me it was on its way. Another forty five minutes goes by, and I call back. The person I spoke to said they had tried to call because they don't deliver to Perkasie, but got voicemail. I have no missed calls. When I explained that I had called already and been told my order was on its way, and that I had no missed calls, I got the same answer - they don't deliver to Perkasie. Nothing like being lied to after your order never arrives. read more

Some of the best food I've had in a while, highly recommend the sushi, dumplings and noodles. A lot is given for the price, it's a steal! The service was phenomenal too, great girls working up front. read more

Top notch food, fresh and fast, as well as reasonably priced. My daughter and I will only eat from here, whenever we're craving yummy and healthy Chinese food. Atmosphere is peaceful, relaxed and friendly. Very clean and workers are friendly and knowledgeable, and are happy to answer any questions you may have read more

Our favorite place for take out, never disappointed. Great food and service. They can accommodate gluten free. We always order house lo mein and special sushi rolls. Try the New Ware or Pink Lady. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in a few weeks for dinner. Food was excellent. Highly recommended!

This Chinese/ Japanese hybrid restaurant is good. The food is consistent and its a good place to get Chinese food and sushi. They also have brown rice for the health conscious. I usually get the lunch sushi special (spicy rolls, and salmon rolls). Good taste and tasty salads too (kane salad, Ginger dressed salads). Chinese food wise I get the orange chicken and the general tsos chicken. Both tasted good. read more

It was an ok meal. First time visiting was for lunch. My friend and I both got a bento box and shared the tuna tataki (sp). That was like a big spicy tuna meatball, and it was very tasty! Best part of the meal! The bento boxes were fine, but nothing special or otherwise noteworthy. If I go back I think I'll try sushi rather than bento boxes. read more

My husband and I ordered from here for the first time and it was AMAZING! Food was great and the restaurant was great, what I wish they would do though is be able to order and have it delivered but use a credit card, delivery is cash only. read more

We have never had a bad meal here. The service is excellent, and the food is always good. The have excellent Chef's specialty rolls. The Chinese dishes are not too greasy or salty. read more

We always get delivery, Drivers always friendly. Food is a hit and a miss. Sushi is very good and reasonably priced. I will only order certain dishes that they cook very well. Most of the food all taste the same. So I stick to what they cook good. As a Chef myself , I know the differences. I do definitely recommend this establishment. read more

We eat here at least once a week and we don't plan on stopping! We usually do delivery and it's always fast and hot! This is my favorite place to eat in Quakertown! read more

Will definitely rethink ordering on the weekends from here. The restaurant really needs better management with handling carry out orders. I arrived to pick up my order I placed online and their procedure I definitely lacking . You wait outside in a long line before you can enter to pick up your order. The person at the front charged me for my order and disappeared for over 10 minutes . The customers waiting behind me were very frustrated at how long it was taking. The woman answering the phone at the counter did not acknowledge anyone which I find completely rude. I would suggest having someone Checking out people and another person running the orders from the kitchen . The true lack of customer service was apparent . read more

The avocado roll I ordered had a huge chunk of avocado in it...delicious! The staff was very courteous and kid friendly.

It makes me so sad to write this. ED used to be my favorite Chinese/Japanese Restaurant! I have been going for years and always raved to my friends about it. This past year or so, we have noticed the quality of some of our favorites declining. The Singapore Mai Fun used to be packed with good veggies and seafood, several pieces of shrimp, noodles were moist and tasty, little peppers were added. Now, the noodles are dry, flavorless and the shrimp is 2 if your fortunate. I even had a piece of yellow squash in mine this time, which was different, along with green pepper; no little spicy peppers as before. It's like anything in the kitchen is being thrown in for bulk. The last time I got it, I chocked it up to COVID and availability of items, but it seems like more things are bad. I always went here for egg drop soup, the flavor was rich and had some chopped green onion. Today, it was hot water with egg mixed in, now the worst I've ever had. I've noticed from other reviews that ownership appears to have changed, and it looks like many of us are experiencing the same issues with quality, flavor, botched orders, and service. Guess I'm finding a new favorite. Won't go back. read more

What a shame. My wife and I order food from here at least once a week for the last 4 years. Over the he past few months, the quality of food and service has declined significantly. I have spent a lot of time driving back having orders fixed and modified. This was our "go to" spot until last night. We orderd our usual friday night takeout, got home and started eating. I bit into something hard that was in my fried rice. I pulled it out and found it was a piece of metal. It looked like a piece of screen. I was absolutly livid so my wife calmly called and asked for the owner. My wife was very reserved, let her know what happened, and kindly asked for our next meal to be on the house. The owner flat out said no. I was so mad I wanted to drive in and preach to all the patrons in the restaurant what happened; but I didnt. The next afternoon, my wife drove there with the piece of metal and asked to talk to the owner. The owner pretty much said "what do you want me to do about this?" My wife said she wanted our next order to be free and the owner sternly said no again. One of the managers examined the piece of screen and when my wife asked for it back, he kept asking why and seemed worried and resilient. I can't believe the horrible customer service. We would have forgotten about this incident if they just acted like they cared. Especially for customers who have spent thousands of dollars there over the years. Safe to say we are done with them but I wanted to share my story. Thank god I didn't cut myself when chewing on it or this situation would be much worse for them. read more

Eastern Dragon - Found this in fried rice - Japanese Near Me - Quakertown, Pennsylvania

Place has gone downhill. Use to be much better. Ate there with my wife a few weeks ago and we left 75% of the food at the table. They are ok with staples (like take out food) but don't get too fancy here...you will be extremely disappointed. Word of advice, skip the dumplings. Possibly the worst thing I have been served in my entire life. No joke. read more

Best Chinese and Japanese food in Quakertown. The owners are really honestly nice. This family owned business is quite a great relief with all of Quakertown's franchise eateries makes this place a gem. Try the chef's sushi creations! read more

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I ordered online, and their online site took my order. Then I had to call in to give them my credit card information...no problem. So, I'm talking to this IDIOT on the phone and he says they don't deliver to my address. Here's the punchline....I live 7 minutes from their shop! It was a $70 order and I typically tip 20% on delivery. They might actually have the best food on the planet, but I'll never know because their service is so bad UPDATE 9/9/2016: My wife called last week (not an online order) for delivery and they delivered. Either they changed their policy, they have communication problems, or the are just very inconsistent. The food was good. So we'll try this exercise again. read more

As we were walking into the restaurant a father and daughter came walking out. We stopped and asked for their opinion of the restaurant. They raved about how wonderful the food was! They did not lie!!! It was flavorful presentation beautiful and our meal was fantastic!!!! To top it off as we were talking with our waitress she was shocked we were from Michigan and when she said she lived there about 10 years ago in Jackson.... that is where we live and it was like a mini reunion!!! read more

Decent prices and quality. Delivery took a while, but st least the food was still hot when I got it.

This is our favorite Chinese/Japanese restaurant in our area, you can't find better service, quality and price for this type of food in the area. I tend to get sushi and my family usually orders Chinese dishes. A favorite for the kids is the sesame chicken. I go with the maki combo most of the time. The sesame chicken is deep fried with a light batter and covered in a sweet sauce with sesame seeds. The maki combo has a cucumber roll, California roll & tuna (all maki style). The proportions are large and the combo comes with soup and salad. The usual quick service, family atmosphere and well prepared food always end in a satisfying meal. If you like this kind food you have to give this place a try. Enjoy. read more

This restaurant has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. We Ordered General Tso's Chicken and Aromatic Roast Duck. The duck was dry, chewy and all bone. The Chicken was over cooked and dry. When I called the restaurant to complain, the owner Jeff, insisted I bring it back, and argued with me over the phone that he cooked it right himself. Not willing to listen what I had to say. When I returned with it the next day, as we do not live close by, he instantly started yelling and arguing with me. Extremely unprofessional business owner, refused to compensate me in any way and not apologetic. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, due to extreme lack of respect for a paying customer. Jeff needs to listen and stop being so defensive when there is positive/negative feedback and learn from it. read more

I have gotten sushi from the Eastern Dragon many times, quite frequently due to it's convenience to my house which is 6 miles from the restaurant. Typically, quite great food, but this is not about the food. I usually place orders for pick up, however, I have had delivery service 3 times by them, in which I have always tipped over 30% each time. I attempted to place a large order today (over $70) but was cut short and told that they don't deliver to my address. As others have stated on here, inconsistency in customer service. I could drive the 10 minutes to get my food, but I would rather drive 30 minutes to Hachi in Chalfont after that. I'll try again another day. read more

Excellent food with plenty of variety. I'm vegetarian and they have a great number of dishes for me to choose from. Their sushi is also very good and they'll specialize stuff fo you if needed. Excellent servers every time my wife and I have been there. Their online ordering system is also super convenient and I actually recommend delivery or take-out because the portions are quite a bit bigger that way (you can get almost 2 meals out of most dishes) for the same price. Their Bento box lunch deal is outstanding. read more

I'm with reviewer Ali F., I was skeptical at first. "Sushi? In Quakertown?". My words exactly and my answer too was a resounding "YES!" The restaurant is in an unassuming strip mall (where the old movie theater was a million years ago) that sits right off of West End Blvd aka Route 309. The inside isn't expansive but it's not tiny or cramped either, it is sincerely cozy, though the mirror on the one wall gives a total optical illusion of a much larger space and they should kiss their brilliant interior designer for that bit of genius. I was very surprised at the lack of hibachi as that gimmick seems to be a "must" for any remotely asian themed restaurant in the area. Don't get me wrong, I like chefs chucking food at me and juggling knives as much as the next gal but they're a dime a dozen in this area. So I was there to try the Sushi or more accurately Maki and had my reservations about any Japanese restaurant that would try to break into the steadfast meat and potatoes community that is Quakertown. To my absolute delieght the fish is fresh and delicious and their "standard rolls" while not breaking any new ground are exactly what "staple foods" should be, reliable and satisfying. I am absolutely addicted to their Under Control Roll and Montauk Roll and look forward to trying some of the other treats on their special roll menu. The seaweed salad is a definite win! Their chinese menu is standard but the food is fantastic and occasionally surprising (try a vegetable spring roll with an unexpected hint of ginger and cinnamon inside). My litmus test for Chinese Food is Pan-fried Dumplings and Crab Fried Wontons(Rangoon) and both are beyond delectable at Eastern Dragon. It is hard not to find something to please everyone, the portions are generousand the price is very reasonable, though maybe a bit more expensive compared to other restaurants in the immediate area. The only aspect holding me back from awarding 5 stars is the limited number of Japanese entrees other than fish based ones (Sushi, Sashimi, Chirashi and so on). I would love to see some Ton Katsu or even Japanese hot pots (other than tofu which I am looking forward to trying next). Though they advertise as serving Udon there is really no selection apart from whatever is in the "Noodle" section of the menu which carries typical Lo Mein and Mein Fun. Their Japanese Appetizers are limited as well, I would love to get some good Age Dashi close to home. So go for the food and the quiet ambiance, enjoy your meal, tell all of your friends about it, yelp your little heart out here and lets get this place noticed and patronized so it doesn't go the way of Thai Show (which was good but not even closed to on this level). read more

Just finished lunch and what a meal it was! I had their lunch special "in a box" that I chose slamon w/black bean sauce, brown rice, shrimp & avocado salad and sushi vegetable rolls. The hot and sour soup was a perfect blend! All the staff are very friendy and anxious to make your experience pleasant. If you want outstanding quality Japanese/Chinese food with atmosphere to match you must stop in to Eastern Dragon! Bon apetit! read more

Wonderful sushi creations and pretty good Chinese and Japanese food. Definitely the best Chinese food in the quakertown area! Wonderful place to go for dinner, and they have really good lunch specials. read more

Great food and service. They food is always delicious and the price is comparable to most restaurants. Their sushi is really good also.

Boo! These people are the worst when it comes to customer service. The last three orders I've had delivered from ED have been wrong. Calling back - you get attitude and yes, the second delivery does arrive but not without additional cost, time and frustration. Fortunately for ED, and unfortunately for the rest of us die hard sushi lovers, they are the only gig in town. When you order speak clearly, ask them to read the order back, check the delivery when it arrives and pray another good soul opens a sushi restaurant so we can enjoy the sushi experience with owners who care about the care of their clients. read more

Came here with some family on Sunday and we all ordered different dishes so one of the kids don't eat veggies so the dish only had like 4 pieces of chicken and we told them about it and he said it is all because no veggies . very disappointed read more

came here on the recommendation of a friend eastern dragon slaps itself in the asian fusion category because it doesnt do japanese or chinese food all that well...it was ok the servers were super nice and helpful and attentive id rather pay more for really great sushi than mid-level prices for crap probs wouldnt go back read more

This is the absolute worst sushi I have ever had!!! You know a place is awful when you go into sit down at dinner time and nobody is there.

What happened to this place? It used to be our go-to restaurant. We loved it. Fresh and good and full of flavor. It's been going downhill for a while now, though, and now every time we eat there the food is bland, sometimes even off-tasting. Their basics are still okay -- lo Mein tastes like lo Mein, but even their General Tso's is lacking. Disappointing. read more
