Twin Dragon has the best lemon chicken hands down. The egg rolls are also excellent. Their wontons. Generally I like every dish I've tried. But I love the way they do their lemon chicken. It is the best. read more

I recently ordered takeout lunch from Twin Dragons Mandarin Cuisine and was excited to try a new local spot since I'm new to Auburn. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from the start. The woman helping me at the front was very rude during our interaction. Since it was my first time there, I was simply asking a few questions about the menu, but I felt unwelcome the entire time. Honestly, I considered leaving before ordering, but I still wanted to give the restaurant a chance because I was hoping to find a good new go-to place nearby. I ordered the lunch special Peking pork with fried rice, which also came with an egg roll. The Peking pork had very little actual meat and was mostly thick fried breading. Because of the sauce, the breading became soggy and lacked texture and flavor. The broccoli on the side was bland, and the fried rice also had very little flavor. I also ordered the combination chow mein, which was probably the best part of the meal. The portion size was decent, although the noodles seemed slightly undercooked. For the two dishes, the total came out to around $38, which felt overpriced, especially for lunch specials and the quality of the food. On a positive note, the inside of the restaurant looked clean and had a nice atmosphere. There were several employees working, so I can't speak for everyone there, but the customer service I personally received at the front was not pleasant. Overall, I would not recommend this place based on my experience. The customer service was poor, and the food was below average. read more

Best Chinese Food Ever. I have been dining here for 40 years. This is seriously the only thing I miss about California. You won't find anything like this in Utah so I come back home for real food. Thank you for still being here after all these years! read more

While the restaurant is in a mini strip mall, the inside of the restaurant was very nice - plenty of tables and booths. The Chinese Zodiac paper placemats were fun and nostalgic. First off, if you're coming for dinner, the servings are large and designed for family style sharing of dishes. We went with my mom, my wife and me and the three of us are not huge eaters (but we love our Chinese food). So if you're in a smaller group, be ready for leftovers. The prices reflect the portion sizes so while $19/dish seems a little pricey, you're getting 3-4 servings per dish so reasonable. If you want to try out multiple dishes, bring 4-6 people! Okay, ranking what we had. The potstickers were fantastic - a plate of 6 and each potsticker was HUGE and very flavorful.. Some of the best potstickers we've had. The hot and sour soup was okay - again a small bowl serves 3 people. The BBQ ribs were just okay. The beef and broccoli was very good, well cooked and well seasoned. Finally the honey glazed prawns was enjoyable. The service was a little hit and miss, we could have used a little more hovering once we got our food to get items like knifes to cut the ribs and prawns but they did a very nice job of packaging up our leftovers and were helpful with my mom using her walker. So pretty good, all in. Mom went there for lunch and the lunches were designed for more, single person/portion dishes so if we go back, it would probably be for lunch. read more

Been coming here for years. Super yummy! Beef chow fun and the sliced chicken in sechachawan sauce is our go tos. Yumm.

On our way back from an appointment, my client and I stopped for some delicious food. She has been craving Twin Dragon Mandarin Cuisine and used to live close and walk over.. We pulled in at 11:15 and I walked in to place a to go order so we could take it to her home. I was greeted right away as I walked in and ordered my client and I the same thing. The lunch special Sesame chicken ($17.95) and instead of rice, I upgraded to chowmein ($3.75 upcharge). I was quoted 15 minutes and it was ready a few minutes sooner than that. I asked for some chili oil, soy sauce, and didn't know they put eggrolls and fried wonton in our lunch specials, but they put sweet & sour sauce in our bag to go with those! To go orders do not get to take the soup that normally comes with the lunch special. You need to dine in for that. Twin Dragon Mandarin Cuisine looked stunning on the inside. Their layout inside was tables and a few booths. The booths looked as if they could've been for a romantic setting. It was not too busy yet, thank goodness for me, since they had opened just shortly before arriving. When we got to my clients home in Rocklin, our chicken was still nice and hot, and honestly, we could've shared one lunch special with the amount of food there was. You get very big portions for the lunch special (we could've shared one and still had leftovers). I liked how they gave us sweet & sour sauce for the eggrolls. We ate out of the boxes and as good as the flavor was, the chicken was unfortunately very chewy. The eggrolls were nice and crunchy. The chowmein was ok. It had big thick noodles which aren't my favorite. Another downside - I can tell the chili oil that they gave me had been sitting there for a while. It tasted like the plastic container it was stored in. Almost had zero flavor and not spicy. Their customer service was great. DON'T FORGET TO TIP!! I look forward to trying other options on their menu. I may not go with chicken, though read more

Ordered appetizer combo platter, hot and sour soup, and crispy duck for takeout on Christmas eve. Hot and sour soup was terrible. Most disturbing was the soup had peas and carrots in it, see photo, first ever! It was way too sweet and had no hot or sour flavor!! Our appetizer platter was missing a spring roll, chicken wrapped in foil was good, otherwise whole plate was meh. Crispy duck was tasty but no sauce or pancakes. We ordered here because Chang Bros has closed. I think we need to find a different place... read more

Don't waste your money here! I'm fair with my reviews but I have to say my piece. I'm an American Chinese in Auburn. I ate here with friends about 8 years ago and I thought it was bad back then- had ordered Chinese broccoli, another name is gi lan, they served some strange green instead trying to pass off as gi lan, terrible. Well, just the other day my husband and I gave this restaurant another chance. Order an appetizer combo and a dinner combo dish, broccoli beef, and combo fried rice. I've eaten at A lot of different Chinese restaurants- well, how to I say it kindly... this is the worse Chinese food I ever had!! All the dishes were bland, flavorless and horrible from the over cooked broccoli, tiny slivers of chicken and beef! Shrimp were old and mealy... never have I ever passed up for seconds but this time, I couldn't eat another bite! Paid $98 for this kind of garbage! I can't see why people were eating in the restaurant. I know this isn't the Bay Area so expectations are lowered but really? The food is not good quality at all. I'm never returning to eat there again. If you're a regular, you don't know what you're getting into. read more

Our group of 8 arrived about noon and were seated as we arrived. Our drink orders were taken and served professionally. On a previous visit we did a family style order with 8 entrees. We decided that option was too much food so we did the lunch specials today. It was still a large amount of food. All the specials are very good. The restaurant is well decorated with good spacing of tables. Service was professional. We will return. read more

My party of 4 stopped in for lunch after hiking Lake Clementine and sat immediately! We ordered the sizzling rice soup (plenty of veggies and chicken throughout), honey walnut prawns (very juicy and plump!), garlic sauce bok choy, Szechuan beef, and chicken fried rice (lots of large chicken pieces). All the food came out quickly, tasted delicious, and portions were perfectly sized for our group to share. Service was quick and attentive. If you're in the area, this is a great shop to get your Mandarin cuisine fix! read more

My wife, a friend, and, I had the lunch specials today: I had General's chicken, steamed rice, hot &sour soup, egg roll, and a BBQ pork bun. The soup was slightly sweet which I didn't care for, the pork bun was excellent, the egg roll was ok, and the chicken was uninspiring. My wife had Kung Pao chicken and seemed to enjoy it. Our friend had Sweet and Sour pork but found it over sauced. The portions are large. The service was outstanding and the dining area was clean. On balance Twin Dragon's is perfectly acceptable if you are looking for cooking that offers no surprises but will satisfy your cravings for Chinese food. We will return. read more

Twin Dragon is the traditional hole in the wall, strip mall Chinese restaurant and I am 100% here for these small town old school vibes. The minute we drove by it we had to stop. The inside is what you would expect. Super 90s vibes but also really clean and welcoming. The staff here are so friendly and really appreciate your business. The service and kindness alone ensured I couldn't give this spot less then 4 stars. Our waitress checked up on us often and engaged us in conversation, she was invested in us being newbies to her restaurant and wanted to ensure we were happy. The prices are also super reasonable. For a sit down restaurant with some good classic Chinese food the price was A-OK. You won't break the bank and you'll leave full. The food was relatively good, some items were lackluster but other items were perfect. Surprisingly the simpler items were just "okay" such as the starter egg drop soup and their fried rice was meh. However, the main dishes made up for it and we were both super happy with our choices. The beef chow fun with extra sauce was delicious! The best dish of the night, super filling and great flavors. Also their shrimp with lobster sauce was good, not the best I've ever had, but I was impressed with the freshness of the shrimp in that dish and it did hit the spot. The vibes are right here and while this isn't a super unique or trendy spot to try, if you're just t trying to keep it casual and are craving some good Chinese food then you'll definitely want to stop here. read more

Service for a togo order was fast at 4:30.. guess it should have been. Ordered Chinese Chicken salad, a dish of cashew chicken and steamed rice. Close to forty dollars. Got home. The chicken salad was literally chunks of lettuce, chunks of tomato, a bit of chicken and some kind of hard noodle loaded on top with a dressing.. Lettuce tasted moldy. Cashew chicken was ok. The rice was a small serving.. I was very bummed. We had good dinners here.. did they sell the place? New manager? New cook? I don't know but it went from being my favorite to my least favorite. read more

Food was ok Servers were rude Felt rushed in a half empty restaurant We enjoy sampling different dishes when visiting a restaurant for the first time We asked to be seated at a larger table It was denied Our appetizers were quickly packaged in order for other dishes to fit our table The larger table remained empty the entire time we were dining Unfortunate Dining experience We visit Auburn from SoCal monthly read more

Arrived at opening time first in. Last served ! Another guest came after us and many to go oders called and pu and served before we got ours. Ordered 2 lunch specials and a plate of chow mein. Chow mein came after we were almost done with lunch and it wasnt that good. Nothing special about this food at all. Belair makes better food. Jade Fountain in Sac wouldnt even serve this food to anyone. Jade Fountain makes real good Chinese food take the drive and see youll gwet my point. The person that came in after us finished his food before we even got all ours. Servers were nice but it didnt outweigh the late food and no apologies offered. read more

Mongolian Beef. The only restaurant where the Mongolian beef was actually Mongolian onions, spicy peppers and a side of beef. The waitress told me to order less onions in the future. Lol. Szechuan chicken lunch special. Tasted like hot and spicy soup. A little sweet. Not terrible but the guy that ate doesn't know what it's supposed to taste like. Orange Chicken Name says it all. Taste did not disappoint or leave me wanting more Sesame Chicken Sweeter than I expected but my friend enjoyed it, with ketchup. Vegetable chow mein. Delicious. Taste met expectations. read more

The absolute worse experience weve ever had !!! So we went to Twin Scam on Mandarin cuisine. We got a couple entrees, a couple appetizers and they charged us $86 ! I told my wife its too much, and she said no we ordered it,so we have to pay for it. They are very lucky it wasn't just me coming to pick up their slop... cause I would have said heck no and left ! So we get the food home , had one of the appetizers and part of a entree, and I started to get a stomach ache and the craps... So if you've gotten this far in this review , you should realize NOT to come to Twin Scam-on Mandarin Cuisine ! They are the absolute worse Chinese "food" we've ever had !!! I looked at some of their not recommended reviews ... It's clear their employees are reviewing this crap hole ! Stay far away !!! read more

Disappointing, we hadn't had Chinese for a long time and ordered enough for 6 meals between the 2 of us. The veges were tired, broccoli overcooked and bok choy was chewy. Noodles were lifeless. So we were hungry and ate a meal each, tossed the rest except for the brown rice which fine. Never again thanks! read more
