Reviews for Dragon Cafe in La Vista, NE
$60 for lunch for 2 and they served raw calamari and undercooked shrimp. Only eat here if you want food poisoning.
Still the most consistently good Chinese food in the immediate area. The restuarant has been there for a long while and the... dining area is becoming worn. The day we were there, there was only one server and she was doing an amazing job considering thatshe was doing everything by herself. The crab Rangoon were salty. The General Tso Chicken was great, but the broccoli was cold. Read more
HORRIBLE. Had peanut butter chicken and the sauce was lacking any peanut butter, essentially a clear cornstarch coating and was... an inedible $20 meal. The combination fried rice was good, sweet and sour sauce was thin as water. This isn’t the firstdisappointment from them but it will be the last. $40 for fried rice, crab Rangoon and nasty peanut butter- less chicken. Read more
Mediocre food, even for a Chinese food craving it’s not worth it. We ordered take-out and the food was ready in about 30min.... When we arrived at home half the food was room temp and half was still hot. We had a few different dishes. The fried sesamechicken and General Tso’s chicken weren’t bad, but the batter was soggy and both the sauces were uninspiring and overlysweet. All the stir-fried dishes were drowned in a generic brown sauce that was lacking in flavor. Nothing had a good sear orcame out crispy. Everything visually looked and tasted soggy or boiled. We ordered some “safe” sushi, Philly Roll andCalifornia. The wasabi didn’t have much flavor and the fake crab and smoked salmon both didn’t taste the best quality. Ireally wasn’t a fan of the cream cheese they used, a little too sour. The cucumber didn’t have that snap to it, it had moreof a “chew”. The size of the rolls were perfect for eating in one bite. The rice to filling ratio was also really well done.It’s a shame the quality of ingredients were poor. The crab rangoons weren’t my favorite. They had a bit of a sour taste tothem and could have used another 30-60sec in the fryer. They most likely use the same cream cheese for the Philly roll and crabrangoons which explains the sour taste. The egg rolls were the only thing that didn’t have any issues and I would recommendthose if you find yourself eating here. Overall the problem is just a lack of quality. The potential is there, but low-qualityingredients and cooking methods really hurt this place. If they decide to improve on that, it would be worth coming back. Read more
The crab rangoons and sweet potato roll were amazing but the garlic chicken and combo lo mein were not. All of the meat... especially the chicken tasted old and reheated which is very disappointing I did not want to waste it but it was not good. Pluswe got a combo meal and they forgot the soup. And the egg roll was greasy and not crunchy. Read more
$47 for 6 dumplings, spider and shrimp tempura rolls, cup of egg drop soup, and chicken lo mein with a side of fried rice. The... food was very bland and okay, it cannot be described better. Dough of the dumplings was slimy. The fried rice can hardly becalled fried, it was just steamed rice tossed in soy sauce and a piece of scrambled egg put on top. Rolls were bothunappetizing, but at least they looked pretty. Lo mein and egg drop soup both tasted extremely bland and old. I don't imaginemyself visiting here again. Read more
I ordered take-out using the Beyond Menu app. Staff at the restaurant was very nice. I have ordered from Dragon Cafe before and... I think this might have been an off night for them. The chicken Lo Mein was just OK and the hot & sour soup tasted off - likesomething was missing. On the other hand the pan fried dumplings were quite tasty and easily the largest dumplings I've ever hadin Omaha. Read more
Food was good. But definitely pay in cash. I ordered food for carry out and got home to see my bank account pinged for $10 over... the original amount. Best guess is an employee wrote in a tip. Did I mention we ordered carry out? Read more
