    General Tso's chicken
    U M.

    Actual rating is 3 1/2 stars. We read quite a few reviews in advance and I'm convinced that a lot of people just haven't had good Chinese food before. The restaurant is small and primarily for takeout (bare bones). There are some booths but it's tight in there and they didn't have the heat on. They stay busy. A lot of people come from far away and I'm still not sure why. It tastes like typical mall food court. I ordered General Tso's chicken. The portion size was good. The flavor was fine, but we waited 15 minutes for what was to be fresh food. We got home a few minutes later and the sauce had almost gelled to a jelly type consistency. My husband had Hunan beef which he said was fine but not the best he'd ever had. The spring rolls were very crispy and very tasty. The shrimp egg rolls were good but the shrimp were almost nonexistent. If we're over that way and desperate for Chinese, I might buy again but it's not a place on our "must revisit" list. The search continues for good Chinese on this side of Cobb.

    Princess chicken lunch special, sauce on the side - forgot the peas, carrots and mushrooms
    Denise G.

    I haven't been here in years but saw several positive Nextdoor recommendations & folks encouraging people to stop in now that the doors have reopened. (They were closed after major damage to their front entrance last year.) I called to see if they still offered 'in-house' delivery (versus Grubhub, DoorDash or UberEats). Cashier said Yes, based on delivery address. Over 4 miles = $40 minimum, less than = $20 minimum order. I told her I was about 2.5 miles away. Once I recited my address, she told me I was 4.7 miles away. I asked, politely, if she could confirm address. She giggled & said, 'Hold let me check again.' and then she said, 'Oh. Ok. It's 2.7 miles. Minimum $20.' Interior / Exterior Used delivery at first. When I did go inside (later) only made it to the counter. Parking lot entrance is a little steep. Smallish, but I don't think it gets crowded - primarily carryout. Unsure about cleanliness. Food We ordered: Thai Pineapple Fried Rice Stir fried with chicken, shrimp, basil, onions, peas, carrots, pineapple & eggs Asked if they could omit shrimp and add cashews. They said they could omit the shrimp and add more chicken. But they could not add cashews during the stir fry, they could only sprinkle uncooked cashews on top, so I declined the cashews. We asked that they make it spicy. Princess (Lunch) Battered and sauteed szechuan style with peas, carrots & mushrooms I asked if they could put the sauce on the side & the cashier said 'it comes that way.' Chicken 'nuggets' kids meal Tempura battered chicken tenders with regular french fries. We had to ask about kids meals. They are not listed on the paper menu or website, but it's fried shrimp OR chicken with a side of fries or fried rice. The chicken kids meal is $5.99 - can't remember cost of shrimp version. We asked if the fries were 'regular' & the cashier said, 'yes, regular fries.' The Thai Pineapple Fried Rice was not spicy at all. It was very oily though. You could actually see oil pooling in the bottom of the styrofoam container. There was also VERY little chicken. If this was double chicken I would hate to see what the regular portion of chicken looked like. There was also very little pineapple. We divided this and organically ate several bites before realizing that we'd run out of chicken. See second pic to see how much rice was left after running out of chicken. The Princess Lunch was disappointing. The peas, carrots & mushrooms I expected to be scattered among my chicken were missing entirely. I don't typically eat eggrolls (spring roll girl here) but I tried it since I was still hungry. It was tough & chewy. I called the restaurant because I thought they sent the wrong order & cashier said she thought I didn't want the vegetables because I said szechuan sauce. I explained that I got that from THEIR menu description & when I said I wanted the szechuan sauce on the side, I still wanted my veggies. I explained to her that the veggies were missing entirely. She said she was new & put the owner on the phone. I explained the situation. The owner told me to bring the food back and she would remake it. I told her I'd bring it back the next day. The Chicken nuggets kids meal was a strange portion. Too much for a toddler, but not enough for 7 or 8 year old. The fries are not 'regular.' They are the seasoned, battered fries - so the kid wouldn't eat them. This is why we asked if the fries were regular to begin with. Value / Price The lunch specials seem to be a good value. Customer Service The driver called from the driveway instead of ringing the doorbell which I found odd. I was sitting downstairs by door awaiting their arrival / phone was upstairs charging. When I called to notify them of the error, the cashier nor manager bothered to offer a simple apology. When I went to pickup the do-over meal, I was not offered an apology nor a complimentary beverage or eggroll, etc for the inconvenience of driving up there. I would have declined since I stopped drinking tea / don't eat eggrolls (lol) but the offer would have been nice. The new meal had the veggies in the sauce & the owner said it comes this way unless you dine in, because previous customers complained that it got soggy when they don't serve sauce separately (for delivery). I explained that I understood that - but it was missing the veggies before. Ultimately, the amount of vegetables in the sauce was so minimal, it was a waste of time (one tiny sliver of mushroom and very little else). Another misstep - when I had them omit the shrimp from the Thai Fried Rice, I told them I was allergic to shrimp. When I ordered the Princess Lunch they didn't mention that there were shrimp in the eggrolls. I get that they may not have realized that we were splitting both entrees but historically, when I mention a shellfish allergy, order-takers tend to go out of their way to warn me about any shellfish throughout the order or being packaged with the other meals.

    I used to work in austell and come here all the time .. then they closed up BUT they closed to remodel !!! I came today and grabbed some lunch specials! Food was on point like always!! And even though I did not eat inside, when I put in my order the inside was looking spacious, clean & real nice! I have to come back to dine inside! Y'all go check them out.. THEY ARE BACK OPEN!!

    We're new to the area and have tried a few Chinese places before Lucky Dragon and were very disappointed. Lucky Dragon broke the cycle! We orders delivery and it arrived quickly! The Miso & egg drop soup were still hot hot and full of authentic flavor. The apps are where I rly start to judge.. crab Rangoon and pot stickers. Delicious!!! Creamy fresh and crispy Rangoons and FRESH FRESH pot stickers and a delicious sauce! I will definitely order again!!

    Singapore stir fry..... Good, but missing the curry powder.
    Karo R.

    My son & I were doing some shopping in Austell, Ga and decided to dine in for dinner one Friday evening. My first concern was that there was not a soul in sight. We walked in and stood at the front entrance and no one came, so I proceeded to the back of the restaurant and located 2 gentleman talking, and asked were they open. The younger gentleman apologized then seated us near the front of the restaurant. I was a little surprised to see that we were the only ones there which should have been my que to get out of there-lol, but I decided to order a $1.50 domestic beer instead ($1.50 domestic beer on Friday & Saturday). I ended up ordering the Singapore house stir fry, which was prepared without the curry and surprisingly good. My son ordered hot wings and fried rice ( no suprise, the kid is going through a hot wing phase ). The food was really good, but it seemed hard to get the attention of the waiter for refills ( reminder: we were the only ones there ). They had a few take out orders, but no major traffic. I'm giving them only 3 stars and not 4 based on service only... Because the food was excellent and the price was right, our tab was around $25.00 w/o tip. I'm sure we will be dining in again :)

    Lucky Dragon is always on point. The food is never greasy. We recently discovered the lemon pepper chicken. It is now one of our favorites.

    This restaurant is really the best kept secret in Atlanta!…read more My family visited here this week for the first time since around 2014 and, despite our fears that it wouldn't live up to the great experience we had then, they EXCEEDED our expectations. We ordered so much and everything was delicious - nothing below an 8/10 in my opinion. We ordered the seafood spring rolls (8/10), crab benigets (8/10 with a special note of originality), and the shrimp appetizer (10/10). Spring rolls- very crispy and flaky, had the "sea floor" variety of seafood inside, flavorful 3 sauces to go with it Crab beignets- a slightly cheesy and airy beignet with a genius crab dip blend. The whole table was surprised on how good it was. Shrimp appetizer- the best "bang bang" shrimp I've had. Shrimps are very large and has a nice fruit salsa to go with. Everyone at the table loved their entrees but I can only truly speak for the ones I tried. Seafood Curry- I will NEVER eat curry anywhere else! I LOVEEEEE THIS CURRY! All the seafood is so fresh, the curry is so flavorful that I literally slurped the rest off my plate. There was also such a variety of veggies in there that were also very fresh and firm (not soggy). For the price especially, you get sooooo much and with such a thoughtful recipe. According to our waitress, it's the only recipe that hasn't changed since the restaurant opened in 2012! Fried chicken - I didn't try the chicken itself, but I did try the Mac and cheese and greens that came with it. Let me tell you, I am very picky about Mac and cheese and this rivals the best Mac and cheese I've had in Atlanta (toast on Lenox)! The greens were also fantastic and flavorful, but a little on the sweet side if that's what your preference is. For dessert, all 4 of us shared one slice of the suspension cake and couldn't even finish it! It was ginormous (literally the size of your head). I won't even go into details- just order it! The ambiance is so intimate and unique- not feeling like an "uptight" boujie restaurant, but curated and thoughtful. They have very nice seating outdoor that is enclosed as well as a beautiful bar area. Lastly, the service is fantastic. I genuinely can't recall my waitresses name, but they speak so highly of the head chef (Calvin) and most have worked there 8+ years, so it really feels like home. I write this review with hesitance because I want this place to remain a secret, but how could I not brag! Book the reservation!

Unfortunately, the lamb was a major disappointment. While it was cooked properly, it had very little flavor and lacked the distinctive taste that makes lamb unique. If I had closed my eyes, I would not have known I was eating lamb. Overall, we had a very enjoyable dining experience thanks to the exceptional service, beautiful setting, and outstanding appetizers. I would happily return, but I would choose a different entrée next time.
