Deceiving reviews in their ads! We came to this place for my son's 19th birthday dinner with my family of 8 and ended up very frustrated.-the wor wonton soup came not HOT and with very little liquid in the soup.-i placed my order at 5:55pm and our order came in at 6:52pm and still have to wait for2 more dishes. (i only ordered 5 different dishes, not a whole lot)-take note-the place is not big, and there still some empty tables and no people standing in lines.-when our food came i'm surprised to see how small their servings, if i had known- i coud have ordered more, but i dont want to dare because i dont want to wait for another hour.-when i told them (2 staffs - caucasian lady, & chinese lady which i believed is the owner)how slow their service were, no apology, said that their very busy and just turn their back on me while im still trying to say something.-no one came to check on us (not even once) or ask if there's anything we need or if everything is ok in our order-VERY POOR SERVICE. The last time we saw our server was when she served us the supposed to be HOT soup.-the foods are NOT "the best" as what their claiming in their ads.-the prices are way too expensive for the serving size they have and the taste is typically the same as the other chinese places their caliber.-will definitely NOT coming back here, a bad dining experienced to an "over rated" Dragon Wok Chinese Restaurant.One good thing, our water were refilled on a timely manner.

Tried this place based on the rave reviews. I do not understand the praise.Hot & Sour soup was the best part of the meal. Unlike most places, it wasn't loaded with corn starch and it had a nice kick. On the other hand, there was barely any vinegar flavor, and it reminded me more of a spicy ramen broth than hot & sour. Had to eat around the overcooked shrimp.There was something on the menu called Twice-Cooked Chicken; I expected it to be chicken that was boiled and then stir-fried (like twice-cooked pork) but it was just the battered chicken chunks from the orange/sesame dishes served in a brown sauce. My fault for not asking. The cuts of chicken were nice, but the coating was mushy and spongy, as other reviewers have said. Sauce was bland.It was hard to pick a vegetarian dish since the restaurant's veggie selection is basically limited to the garnishes that go in the meat dishes. I went with the Kung Pao Tofu; it had a random chunk of pork in it, and the tofu was so soft it was almost like eating pudding. Sauce was bland.Side of fried rice was tasteless.Restaurant had good ambiance and the wait staff was attentive. Entrees were $10 for the tofu and $11 for the chicken, which was a bit high relative to portion size. I feel that Dragon Wok is trying to be an "upscale" Chinese restaurant in the model of PF Chang's. PF Chang's is not one of my favorite restaurants, but at least their menu expands beyond the most basic of carry-out standards and they know how to fry their chicken.

This is a great mom and pop place. Sam and Lola do a great job. Clean, Friendly, Relaxing, Great Soups and over all good food/quality. We come here to get soup when we are sick.. I drive 15 miles to get it! Been eating here about 8 years. Funny to read some of the other reviews... Here is the thing..we have our favorite restaurants, things we like better at one place over another.... my mom and I really enjoy dining here. No ones lettuce wraps beat PF Chang's, but these are nice. I feel they take pride in what they serve...if you like spicy you can ask for spicier. I do not hesitate to send food back... I have never sent anything back here. I have never had cold food here either. **** I am a fan of non-chain places!

EVERY TIME I go here it's delicious! So lite and flavorful. Not so filling like your typical chinese. Def homemade. ... Calamari, potstickers are always a hit. For entrees the generals chicken, twice cooked pork, orange beef, scallops, pineapple shrimp. It's all great. And I like that it's not ever crowded. The staff is always a delight. If I had to give one criticism, it'd be to bump up the spice level on the "spicy" dishes. ... Also, 5 dollars for a large saki bomber at happy hour is pretty nice

Prompt, courteous delivery! Each item was nicely packaged and sealed, no spills or greasy paper bag bottoms.The Salt & Pepper Calamari was just as good as when I had it at the restaurant - light, buttery, and a spicy bite! We also enjoyed the Potstickers, Honey Shrimp & Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, and Teriyaki Chicken. Personally, I love the Pung Wok Three "extra spicy" (it's AWESOME) but this time I was sharing with my mom who likes sweet, fried dishes and my son who is 4 and super picky.The verdict? My son ate the Teriyaki Chicken with no complaints and I inspected the meat before serving to make sure there was no cartilage or fat - all good. He also ate several pieces of the Chinese Chicken Fingers (actually the Calamari - shhh!) before he noticed the spicy peppers.As for Mom, her comment was "It's good and at least it's not greasy! You wouldn't believe the greasy Chinese food my sister served us last week - and she said it was the best! I had indigestion all night.... blah, blah, blah." It may not sound like much, but that is high praise from a woman who believes every compliment should be followed by "constructive" criticism.The prices here are a little higher than your typical Chinese take-out, and I wish the potstickers were fried on all sides instead of just one. BUT, now that Dragon Wok has Mom's approval, there's no way I'm getting delivery elsewhere! It's totally worth a couple more dollars and a semi-limp potsticker to make Mom happy, right? :)

Usually I patronize greasy spoon take-out Chinese places with smeared windows, but it was a real treat to find Dragon Wok. It feels nice to go in feeling clean and come out full and still feeling clean, unlike some other establishments I've been in.We always do lunch because I don't like paying nighttime Chinese food prices. Seems like they double at night and then I spend way more on booze and end up $100 poorer, only to end up hungry again a half hour later.The food at Dragon Wok is always fresh. I feel like they may have just made those potstickers I was served from scratch. And they make Mongolian Beef just the way I like it: nice brown sauce, tender beef, lots of green onions, and a few fresh mushrooms. Perfect. The service is always friendly and fast, but not too fast. I've never felt rushed here, unlike some other places where they drop the check with the food and say, "No hurry, I'll be your cashier when you're ready", which really means "Throw your cash on the table and gtfo so I can turn this baby and get more tip." I like that the owners are walking around making sure everyone is happy and they will help a server when they need to. I hear a lot of laughter here too which means happy customers. Always a pleasure dining at Dragon Wok.

I am from the east coast and it has taken me 3+ years to find a good chinese restaurant in Arizona. Excited that they deliver. Highly recommend.

I so wanted to love this place. It is located directly across the street from my house. We live in the Dobson Place subdivision and this is the closest Chinese place to our house. After reading an article in the paper about this place, we decided to give it a try. WOW, what a huge disappointment. Everywhere you look in this restaurant is a trophy or an award or some sort of proclamation about how great the food is. I am telling you the truth when I say this, the food is bland, tasteless, and just not prepared very well. The ingredients however were fresh they were just not prepared properly. Zero flavor! The beef was fatty and chewey and the chicken was tasteless. I will give a positive score to the egg rolls, they were pretty good. WonTon Soup was bland. So sad, hopefully they can get it together.

Very good, not the best I ever had , but Good. Very friendly staff and so clean . The only down side its in the spendy side for us, but not crazy. We go a lot. Our absolute fav place to go is the Jade Palace in Scottsdale, the owner here said they were good friends which I like :)

I have to state that I'm hard on Chinese food because I've had plenty of delicious gourmet, authentic Chinese food in the bay area, LA, and China.Let me set the stage with a couple words: No chopsticks.This restaurant caters to non Asians, which is fine for some people but not my style. How can a Chinese restaurant not have chopsticks in their place settings? If you're looking for delicious and authentic, this is not the place. If you're looking for a Panda Express equivalent in a nicer restaurant setting that serves alcohol, then this is it.The decor is fun in a stereotypical Chinese decor way.Service is pretty good in the sense that the waiters/waitresses are very polite and nice, but I was waiting for long periods of time multiple times during my one dining experience.Arrived at 6:30pm, 15-20 min wait for a table, 20 min wait for food, 10 min wait for my food to be packaged up. Ok...wait for table is normal for a busy place like this, wait for food was a little too long, wait for the packaging of my left overs was plain ridiculous. I'm guessing they were too busy for their own good and that's why it took so long.Why is this place so busy and why does it get so much press? NO IDEA. It boggles my mind. There are better take out places and sit down restaurants in the world of Chinese food in the Phoenix/Mesa area.

So my family and I went to this restaurant tonight due to an article that was written in our local paper about it. Raved as one of the top 100 chinese restaurants in the nation. I am not sure what nation they are talking about but I get better food at my neighborhood PF Chang's.Atmosphere is nice but the kitchen is too open, you can hear all the noise. They play constant whistle/flute music, which would be calming, however they play it at too loud of volume so it comes across as more annoying than calming.The soda machine is right by the tables so they were filling the ice while we were eating and it was very loud.We were seated right away but then proceeded to wait about 10 mins before being approached by anyone. Not only were we ready with our drink order by the time the server arrived, we had read the menu and decided on our food as well.The food took quite a while to come out of the kitchen despite only having a few diners there. The appetizer of lettuce wraps was boring and non flavorful, served with only 4, non appetizing almost all white iceberg lettuce leaves, the non green part I usually throw out and the price of $9.99 was ridiculous.We ordered 3 entrees, all tasted the same, which was like nothing. I have never had such bland food which surprised me considering the article we read focused so much on their spices and flavor.I will say a couple of good points were the beef, chicken and seafood they used were of good quality. The scallops were very large, beef tender with no fat or toughness and the chicken was the same. However it was hard to enjoy due to none of it having any flavor. I was hoping the reviews I read about the food being bland on the way to the restaurant were wrong but they were right on point.Dinner was about $65.00 with tip for 3 of us, that was only 3 entrees and 1 sad appetizer...I paid less taking my daughter and a friend to BJ's, got a ton more food and it was much more delicious.One last note, tables are too close together. I enjoy a dining experience without having people right next to me, which is how some of the tables are here. One long bench against one wall but with tables and chairs lined up. I will take a private booth any day!This is the first review I have ever written for a restaurant so for me to take the time, you know I am speaking the truth! Save your money people, I will be spending mine somewhere else.

Went in n a Valpak coupon. Had dinner there. It was super slow, but thought maybe because nothing else is open around them.The Super market was closed down. The service was friendly, that's a Pro. the Cons, where do I start. Food was hot on one side, colder on the other or in the core of the meat. Wierd.Food took a lil longer, but that was ok, if it was busy.It was a lil $$$ for the quality of the food. I will not leave Pei Wei again, I swear.My last thought, we should of ate next door at Los Fav taco shop.

we love to order take out. the food is very tasty, and plentiful.

We ordered two large soups (wor wonton & egg drop) and a small appetizer. Not a good value for the $25.00 take out! Well over priced!

The first time I visited was when they first opened up, and the food was just ok. The next time I went, it was a great experience. The owners had changed the menu and upgraded the quality of their ingrediants. What I mean by that is, ...?

My brother and his roommates have been going here for years so on our visit to Phoenix we made a stop here. We had a party of 6 and ordered their meal that feeds 4 and then added to that so we had more appetizers and soups for all of us. ...?

The restaurant is clean, spacious, well-decorated. Our server was excellent. She even packed free hot steamed rice for us in our left overs box. The pepper calamari appetizer was excellent. Kung-pao chicken was great. Chicken fried rice was a bit on the oily side, but tasted great. Shrimp low-mein was a bit dry and so-so. Overall food was really good and service was prompt! Our 7 month old could sit in a booster seat (provided) for the first time and enjoyed the dinner with us. Would love to visit again and recommend our friends do the same! Thank you!?

My boyfriend and I found this restaurant by accident, and we haven't stopped going back! The restaurant is beatifully decorated, it's very clean, and the food is delicous! The owner is a wonderful lady and she knows us by name and always makes a point to talk to us personally. The food is consistantly great, and I will be a loyal customer for life!

Best restaurant in all categories! The General spicy chicken that I die for cannot be found anywhere else around this universe. Even I travel around the world in business a lot, I always come back here for my special treat.

Always a treat at Dragon Wok. I enjoy all the hot spice dishes and they will flavor to your request. Great home made hot mustard is a don't miss item. Some of the best Hot Sour soup around. Lunch deals are good variety and a lot to eat. Every one here is open and friendly. Always have had good service whether it is just two of us or a large party (14 of us on a New Year's eve). One of our best finds in Arizona.

I always get the lo mein and crab puffs!

Wonderful food and great people as well. My very favorite resturant in all of Phoenix. I love there Hot and Sour soup :)

The food is always good, even when we have ordered take-out and delivery. The people are friendly and the restaurant is clean. It has a nice ambient feel.

This is not just another Chinese restaurant. They provide very good service and the see-through kitchen seems well organized. I personally like their Lettuce Wrap (appetizer) and Wonton Soup. I also recommend the Kung Pao Beef and Pung Wok Beef if you like spicy, I don’t find the same quality and taste in other places. I have to mention their restrooms which are clean and smell-less every time we use them; this means a lot to me when it’s considered a high quality restaurant.
