Staff was friendly and attentive. Straight up white people Chinese food. No flavor no spices. I felt very underwhelmed. Avoid. Even panda express is better. You can find better in Tucson. Great staff. Food was like boiled flavorless mess.

Good service. Decent food. They are usually ready sooner than they say. I really like the sesame chicken. Different than most places.

I was somewhat hesitant about eating here after seeing the 3 star rating on Yelp. But we had been driving around Tucson for sometime and couldn't agree on anything else, so Chinese at Golden Dragon it was.

The restaurant is quite small with about 9 or 10 tables, but a friendly and cozy atmosphere with lots of takeout customers coming and going. Our server tried so hard to balance our initial table that was wobbly, but eventually reseated us at the larger table next to us, the only other available.

We ordered oolong tea to have with our meal, and then their chicken foo young, sesame beef

It tastes ok. Just no love behind the food. Like filling bare bones list on Chinese American food. The waitress was good. Probably won't go again.

Sweet and sour chicken was great! Crunchy breading, juicy chicken, tangy sauce, and great portion. Fried rice was fantastic; lightly fried, savory, comes unsalted.

A restaurant that doesn't offer free refills when it comes from a fountain is not one that I will be going back to. $3 for a watered down soda. Plenty of other places that offer free refills. Not to mention my lunch didn't come as I ordered it. I will NOT be going back!!!

Grabbed some take out from here as a last minute change of plans. We ordered chicken and green beans and chicken and vegetables. We also had the crab wontons.
The food was pretty average. Nothing stood out, but everything was good. I'd def go back and try some other things!

The service was very good but the restaurant didn't look that clean. Dirty window sills, etc. The food was not that great. We didn't even get a to-go box. The restaurant was empty and it was lunch time.

My FAVORITE place to go for Chinese food. Been going for years! Staff is attentive. Food is always hot no matter if it's dine in, take out or delivery. Food is delicious!! Never had a negative experience.

One of our favorite restaurants, however, the last couple of times the beef lo mein was not up to par. I don't know if they changed chef or recipe but it was not what we were accustomed to. Will give them one more try before shopping for a new place. Still pretty good but not as good as it used to be.

I went in for lunch with my wife.
Hot and sour soup was not edible. Some weird tastes going on, that were a mix of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and hot pepper... And maybe it was a few days old. It was not normal tastes for hot and sour soup. We should have left after giving the soups back to the waitress. We still were charged for it.
Kung Pao chicken had a few small pieces of chicken, a lot of peanuts, and a terrible sauce. Not edible
Mongolian beef was primarily under cooked sliced onion, salty with an oily sauce. The quantity of beef on the Kung Pao chicken scale was huge. On a weight scale

There was a line for Take out.
No inside dining yet.
Very nice guy helped me.

Delivery or pickup only.

3* all the way. Easy order and 100% accurate. Thanks for that. Packaged well too. We had sesame beef, northern vegetarian, and mushu chicken. It was all standard fare and taste.

You can do better and you can do worse. It worked in a pinch.

I ordered War Won Ton soup and Pork Fu Young. The War Won Ton soup is great. It has lots of meat and veggies. Will order again. The pork Fu Young was really really bad. The sauce was way too sweet and way too salty. The patty itself was wrong. It was very hard and had no bean sprouts. There was nothing redeemable about this dish.

We love Golden Dragon and it's been our go-to take out for years. The portion sizes are generous and I haven't had something that I didn't like. I love their low-main and lettuce wraps. Sometimes they also offer coupons for free crab puffs.

Good grief. How much change can a few months make. Just did a carry out. Everything was really bad.
Cold. Gluey. Weird taste. Stale oil on egg rolls. Old food.
No rice included with food.
Just awful. Threw it away.
What happened to this nice little local place?

This is the third time they've incorrectly made the take out order. First two times, I did not even bother to call and address. Today when I called after arriving home, I received no apology, refusal for delivery when requested, no refund and "you can bring it back and get new one". I know what I ordered and specified 2x however the person on the phone was defensive and unapologetic. I will order from elsewhere moving forward. Do not recommend.

If you have ever eaten great Chinese food, you should never eat what they call food at this place. The items we ordered ranged from barely edible to terrible. It was a total waste of time and money.
As my son used to say "Yechhhhh!" when having something very unpleasant in his mouth - like foul tasting medicine.

This place is pretty good! You can taste the quality of the ingredients of the food for the price. The service was golden and they are nice for a great conversation. On this side of town, it's probably the better Asian food you'll get. I got carry out for some dumplings and it was delicious and fresh! They give it to you in a cute paper bag. Would come back next time to eat in.
