Excellent Chinese food! So many other restaurants serve bland, flavorless Chinese food. Not here, every dish was plentiful and very tasty. Each dish is big so plan accordingly and bring friends since these dishes are meant to be shared.

So when my son suggested we dine at Dragonwell, I asked "Is it buffet style? " Absolutely not! This is the best Chinese food I've had since leaving NYC! We ordered shared plates, like dumplings, pot stickers and rice chips. Yummy! Then I had the Sesame Chicken dinner. Crispy, a tiny bit of spice and gooey.the best! Others in our party had General Tso's chicken, Flower Soup, Dragonwell Ribs.all delicious! The service was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was comfortable. Very much worth a try!

Super nice waitress, can make much of the menu gf gluten free on request, even breaded dishes like sweet and sour. The sweet and sour chicken was great.

The food was amazing. The hot tea was perfect.
My three yr old grandson kept eating alot of sweet and sour chicken.
Well worth the price.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. This is my third time in 2 days and I must say I’ve never been this impressed. The food is amazing, the drinks are great and the service is outstanding. If you’re in Portland, you’ve got to try it out!

Been going for years, recently went about a month ago and the food was TERRIBLE. Pale mushy potstickers and bland soda (soda ALWAYS seems to be an issue here) among other things. Disappointed, won't be back until they get it together. Service is friendly but really really needs to speed things up for people on their lunch breaks.

Nice site for quality Chinese food. It was so appetizing. There was quick and friendly service. This place has a cool atmosphere. I can see why they have a lot of positive reviews.

A little old school Chinese.but still really good. Broad traditional menu to order from. Cooked to order food that comes out hot with appropriate seasoning. Mix up your order and share with your group. Cocktails are yummy too. Pricing is reasonable
I will be back soon

Great option for Chinese food! Gluten free soy sauce, able to accommodate gluten allergies. Good food and decent prices!

They automatically added tips to our bill as a party of 4 people. The menu clearly says the tips will be added if you got 6 or more people. American chinese fast food. No better than panda express.

Everything I ate was delicious. Crab Rangoon and egg flour soup especially good. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

I have heard mixed reviews about this place, lunch however is your basic greasy American Chinese food. Maybe dinner is more authentic? With all the real Chinese restaurants on the other side of river I have never had the urge to take the chance here for dinner.

I'm surprised not to see Dragonwell on the list of best happy hours in the area. The service, food and prices are great. It's in a rather obscure location so it's usually easy to get a seat. Definitely a repeat.
