    some kinda fish
    Robbie R.

    I was staying with a friend in Sacramento this last weekend and she invited me to a dinner with some of her relatives and friends. It was at Spicy Dragon ... just the name sounds spicy! This restaurant is located right next to the big 99 Ranch Asian store on Florin Rd. It's just off the 99, go west on Florin and you can't miss it. My friend who's Chinese told me the dinner was gonna be more "authentic" meaning there wasn't gonna be any egg rolls or General's chicken. I did notice I was the only one at the table that didn't have black hair! Some of her friends as well as her don't really speak any Chinese cause they were born and raised here, so there was enough English spoken, I wasn't lost or anything. Service was fast and efficient, but not super friendly. The menu dishes were all ordered in advance. The food just started coming out and placed on the round rotating thingy in the middle of the table. Soup was first and was served into bowls for each person. It was a veggie kinda soup, tasted decent. Next was mapo tofu. I had this one before. My friend said it's really called mapo "DAU'FU" in Chinese. Tofu is for Japanese food. Learn something new everyday! Then there were some green veggies, roast duck, braised pork belly with those steamed white buns that look like lips .. well, to me they do! There were other dishes I don't know what they were, but I do remember there were some spicy fried wings, I did like those! Mostly I like most of the dishes, one seemed a little weird, but I didn't have to resort to a fork at all! I'm glad I was invited and had a good time. I'd come back here, but I think I'd order stuff I was more familiar with.

    This is the second time we've been here. This time we ordered the numbing fish fillet with an order of rice- the portion is HUGE. It's enough for the two of us with leftovers. we also got the tan tan noodles, which was decent but not amazing. the noodles at Tasty dumplings is better. this one was not as chewy as I wanted and the flavors were solid but not special. We were both sweating eating this, it definite lived up to its name! The last time we were here, we ordered the Salt and Pepper Fried Chicken which was so good! I think that was my favorite dish from this place. it was surprisingly spicy despite not having a chili sign next to it. The first time, we had very bad service so I'm so glad to see that service has greatly improved. This time, our servers was friendly, polite and actually paid attention. Definitely come here if you are craving Szechuan or spicy food!

    Forgot to take pictures before start eating! This is the second time we are here within a week! Good service!

    Took my parents to this place and they were very impressed, especially compared to the places they've had in San Francisco. We are from Hunan and we approve of this place! The flavors and dishes here are authentic and taste really good. They have so many items on the menu and we wanted to order so much more. The only thing is, I wish the deep-fried/crispy dishes were crunchier! We ordered: G9. Pork Intestine With Season Chilies - $19.99 (Wish this was crispier) P20. Pork Kidney With Hunan Spicy Sauce - $18.99 (slightly too much oil for me) C2. Chicken Wings With Explosive Chili Peppers - $19.99 (My favorite!! I loved the numbing spice and the crazy flavors) B14. Spicy Crispy Beef Strips With Sauteed Chillies - $21.99 (Wish this was crispier, all the beef pieces were soggy) R19. Steamed Rice x 4 - $6.00 A7. Salt & Pepper Fried Calamari - $10.99

    Our family was looking for sone authentic Chinese cuisine and stumbled upon this place. The flavors are extremely present with the perfect amount of spice! My in-laws (who are Chinese) especially appreciated the quality and taste of our dishes. The portions were good and the staff were very friendly as well. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for an authentic Chinese experience!

    Amazing
    Yuna Y.

    Absolutely loved this dish. The fish was fresh, tender, and soaked perfectly in the rich spicy broth. The balance of heat, numbing pepper, and sour pickled vegetables made every bite super flavorful without being overwhelming. The portion was generous, and the aroma alone was enough to make the whole table hungry. If you enjoy authentic Sichuan-style flavors, this is definitely worth trying. Great comfort food with a strong kick.

    Food: 5/5 - the food here was really good, everything is a flavor blast full of spice and vinegary goodness I got their lamb noodles and although the noodles weren't my favorite kind (texture wise), I knew this going in the flavor was really delicious... I also got some lamb skewers on the side and damn those were so good- nice smoky flavor, well seasoned, tender and juicy from the fat Service - 4.5/5 the restaurant wasnt too busy we were seated immediately and although they forgot the ride we ordered but it was immediately taken care of when I raised my hand to mention it missing Ambiance - 5/5 the decor is nice and the restaurant is clean, it's dimly lit making for a nice environment to take a date.

    Very good food as always, a little pricey, but feels worth it. I was pretty much very enjoyed it!

    General Tso's Chicken
    Jude A.

    For my beverage, I enjoyed a pot of hot tea. For my entrées, I had the General Tso chicken and the chicken chow mein; both of which were incredible in flavor and seasoning. The chow mein had the perfect texture of noodles, and the chicken had fantabulous flavor. The General Tso chicken was pretty decent in flavor, and the portion was pretty substantial. All in all, a great dining experience if you're in the mood for some good Chinese food.

    Spicy Szechuan Boiled Sliced Fish in Ball Pepper Oil
    Mathew M.

    What a hidden gem! This place might look like a hole in the wall, but the authentic flavors and quick service speak for themselves. I loved every dish. The Szechuan pepper fish and the eggplant tofu in garlic sauce were absolutely incredible. While Spicy Dragon itself isn't fancy, the food is to die for. The dark ambiance adds to the cozy, no frills vibe. A must try for anyone craving real, flavorful Chinese cuisine!

    Salt and Pepper Fried Chicken
    Ariana W.

    Food was great! 5/5 The shrimp fried rice tasted very fresh and came out pretty quick. The chow mein had good amount of crunchy veggies and a flavorful sauce. The salt and pepper chicken was fried to perfection in a light and airy batter that resembled tempura. We were so hungry we forgot to take a pic before eating so the pictures are after we had our fill and the aftermath. Service 2/5 for the initial treatment as we walked in. We arrived an hour before closing and told to wait at the front while the server said he will go ask the chef if it were okay. He came back a short while later and said the chef gave the okay for us order. About 20 minutes later, a party of 3 arrived and they were immediately seated without the server having to ask the chef if they could order. The only difference between us and them is that they were Asian and we are African-American. Edit:// As I was about to post this, a different server came up and said "I know it was edgy when you guys first walked in. It's just that our regular menu closes at 9:30pm and our skewer menu is open until 10:30pm". My thought to that is this: the original server who asked the chef if it were okay for us to order had no idea if we were ordering the regular menu or skewers. He saw us walk in and immediately said he had to go ask if it were okay. Overall, I had a great dinner with my husband as we were celebrating our anniversary and in a cheery mood.

    I'm extremely disappointed. I found a piece of metal wire in my food. This is a serious safety hazard and could have caused injury. I lost my appetite immediately and had to throw the meal away.

    sizzling eggplant and tofu with garlic sauce
    Nancy L.

    Been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile but was too afraid that I was not able to tolerate the spice. Thankfully, their menu indicates the spiciness level of each dish. For appetizers, we ordered some of their vegetarian skewers - tofu skin with cilantro and oyster mushroom. They were very flavorful and seasoned well with minimal spice. For entrees, we ordered their vegetable chow mein and sizzling eggplant and tofu with garlic sauce. Both were good and delicious but too greasy for our liking. Neither were spicy at all. Our non-vegetarian friend ordered stir fried beef with pickled chillies which according to him, was quite spicy as expected. Food was good and portions were generous. Love that they clearly indicate vegetarian options on their menu!

It's good, but the flavors are not true to authentic Chinese cuisine. While some of the dishes (Veggie Fried Rice) have that authentic flavor, the others (Fried Chicken) are just not good or done right. In fact, don't get the Fried Chicken. As for the pies, the Banana Cream Pie was awesome. Actually, it was borderline Epic. The Chocolate Cream Pie was a miss. Too much cream and the chocolate didn't go well with the crust, which was too salty. While the banana pie hide the bad crust, the chocolate wasn't able to. The service was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and done well. The restaurant itself mimicked a very narrow club/ bar with some tables and dining behind. Felt like a darker and more expensive P.F. Chang's. I'd only go back for a slice of the Banana Cream Pie ($10), to go.

The good - my order was prepared quickly, and the amount of fish was very generous. The fish was tasty and spicy. The house chow mein that I also ordered had decent (read below) flavor. The bad - the salt and pepper fish had a great batter, but I feel they're battered too much, and the actual fish piece inside is tiny. My house chow mein didn't have a single shrimp in it. Lots of beef, which was good, but the char smell from the beef was the only thing you could taste on the noodles. It's almost like the chef cooked the noodles on whatever the beef was cooked on. The noodles we had ordered from here a month ago had very good flavor, but not a one note beef flavor. There was a lot of beef and chicken in the house chow mein, but zero shrimp means the cook either forgot or they didn't have them and thought it would be ok to add more beef. Either way, I paid extra for my selection, and didn't get it. Am I Pissy? Yes. Am I honest? Also a Yes. 3 stars this trip, probably my last.

Its been so bad the past decade that we decided to give it another chance. Different management, different chefs, different everything basically. The fried flounder was so fried that I could not separate the bones, not only that, you could barely get any meat out of it. Our table had nine people and they only provided 6 buns with our peking duck. I thought they didn't have enough steamer space and was going to bring more but nope. The shrimp in their salted egg pumpkin and shrimp dishes was overcooked and their deep fried pig intestines were extremely stinky. Their portion sizes downsized like crazy and it's so bad that we didn't even finish any of the dishes. The best dish was a stir fry cauliflower dish that I could make at home. It was supposed to come with pork, but I only saw itty bitty pieces of meat. The service was also super bad and slow. I was eating their fried rice and bit on a piece of broken yellow plastic with multiple sharp points. Prior to that, I was feeding my toddler the rice so THANKFULLY it didn't go to him. When we told the server, which was an older lady with glasses and bangs, she's like oh... then she took it to the kitchen and pretended that nothing had ever happened when she came back out. Shes been there for years, and I remember seeing her when we were regulars. I wasn't expecting anything, except for some accountability. I used to love this place so it's pretty sad to see how much it went downhill.... This business needs to be scrapped. The current 3 stars is giving them too much credit and it must have been due to when they used to be good, in the past.
