For the Tasty Crab Special (1/2 lb shrimp, 1 snow crab cluster, lobster tail, 2 ears of corn, 2 potatoes, 2 eggs) and added 1/2 lb of sausage. It was too much food for me, and I knew it would be but I always want to try everything at these places. I had it Cajun sliced to mild. Food came out fast and service was friendly. The seafood was nicely cooked, even the lobster tail which is often overcooked at these places. The potatoes and corn were overcooked but I don't care too much about that Cajun spice was good. I'm still not the biggest fan of seafood boil, I really prefer steamed, but that is a personal preference. As far as boil goes, this is one of the better ones I have had. Inside it isn't much, but there's some real personality from all of the writing on the walls. But let's be honest you come to one of these places to chow down on seafood while wearing a plastic bin and vinyl gloves, it isn't a place you come to in your Sunday best.

I then asked her if she would personally pay $12 for what was in front of us. Her solution was to bring out another thin pork chop, which did not resolve the problem at all. This place used to be amazing when the original owner was running it- the food was always fast and fabulous. Unfortunately, that quality is clearly gone. The difference is night and day, and they desperately need the original owner back.

This is most definitely the worst Chinese food experience I have ever had. Ordered at 8:30, took an hour. Fine. Open the bag no fork. Call and ask for fork (everything is in storage and I just didn't have silverware). They say it will take 30 minutes and it takes an hour. By that time I had thrown the food away and asked for a refund. Driver refused. Food tasted like trash. Sauce was gelatinous and imitation crab was rubbery. Save your money and have a can of tuna. You'll be better off. read more

There wasn't much seating but it's enough for this who wish to eat there food. I liked how they engage with the customers and the location of the establishment.

There are times in my life where I'm so totally wrong, I want to kick myself. I've seen Dragon…read moreExpress many times as I jog by it during my workout. So, when I got one of those Chinese food cravings, I googled and yelped to see what others thought with google not being very kind, so I opted for trying other places. Well, very recently I flew out to Kansas City to see my daughter graduate and we went to a Chinese buffet and it stunk so bad it inflamed my food itch. I scratched that itch and now I'm here to give my detailed and glowing review of Dragon Express as they're one of the best I've had in Summerville! First off, I don't think anyone would seriously consider eating in here as it doesn't appear that they've made an effort to be a sit-down restaurant post the bug craze of 2020. But that's fine as it allows them to focus on the food! But to be fair I will say that I like the little Chinese accents like the waving cat, posters and décor. Moreover, seeing through the kitchen with a screen door open to let fresh air in while the chefs bang away brings home the authenticity for me. The staff here is very nice and fast to fill your order. Please note that if you need anything like soy sauce, hot mustard, fortune cookies and so on, they're to the left. However, for the life of me I couldn't find any chop stix! That's about my largest complaint. Now, lets get onto the star of the show, the food! Again I was really craving Chinese after recently having "crap-knees" in Missouri. So, I ordered a few popular items to satisfy my cravings. As a side note I really wish more Chinese would carry Beef Chow Fun which is Cantonese but I've only found one place in town that offers it. First up for some reason I was craving fried chicken with imo is more American than anything. WOW - they nailed it. While I still don't know why they left the tip on the wing b/c no one eats it, the drumette and flat which are connected were so darn crispy but juicy right below the fried crust. I'm a former chef and I'm dumbfounded how they do it! As for the egg roll, I was happy it had more ingredient texture and diversity than most eggrolls you get at a Chinese takeout, it wasn't very flavorful. This was my least favorite item that I sampled. Next up the pancit or as it's also known: house noodle, mei fun, or Singapore noodle (although Singapore is made with curry). First the dish was rocket hot so I had to give it a minute to rest, then I noticed it had a perfect meat and veggie to noodle ration. Of course, restaurants want to use a lot of pasta/rice b/c it's cheap. But it had a good balance of carrots, bok choy and egg however I would have liked a little more green onion; that's just me being picky. As for the chicken it was pretty bland and, in all honesty, everywhere I've had the dish that seems to be the case, so I'm fine with that. Overall, this was about as close to perfection as I could have hoped. Finally I got the fried rice. I'm not sure how the buffet I was last at screwed this up but I needed some good fried rice and I'm happy to report mission accomplished. The rice was firm which indicates it sat overnight (a much needed trick to quality fried rice), had a nice sheen, in the back had some hints of soy but I couldn't find that smoke from a well-seasoned wok. No problem as it was studded with onions, the delicious char siu (pork) and a few green onion tops. Another slam dunk. Overall, Dragon Express is an extremely underrated Chinese restaurant with great people that work there. Moreover, their potion sizes are huge for the price, which gave a lot more value than say a fast-food hamburger meal and probably healthier. While I said it before it warrants restating, their food is the most accurate that I've had in town. I rather like authentic Chinese food and when I crave it, I don't want some "reinvited" or worse lacking experience, I want to comfort food. I highly recommend giving these people a try as my experience was one of the best I've had in ages.

We hear routinely that it's hard to get good Chinese food in this part of the country. So far that appears to be true. My wife had the cashew chicken combination plate. The egg roll was good. The pork flavored rice was also good. Vegetables and meat were a bit bland. We counted 3 cashews, so that was a bit disappointing. I had the kung po gee din. Everything was there in terms of vegetables and meat. But hot/spicey it was not. I do some Asian cooking and there are 2 things that make a difference: freshness and sauce. Vegetables in neither dish were terribly fresh. The sauces lacked the strong flavor profile that should be there. In particular there seemed to be no vinegar or other acid flavors. Not strongly soy sauce flavored, which is sometimes done to fool the palate into thinking it's more umami than it is. Just a bit generic in taste. They're obviously trying hard, but they don't quite have it.
