  • City Dragon left a menu on my front door and offers free delivery. The menu is impressive and has a number of unique dishes. Decided to give them a try. The delivery person was excellent, handing order to me. Food was exceptional (I chose Mild spice). Portions were large enough for 2 meals which lessened the impact of the prices (avg. ~$18). I'll be interested to see if the dine in & delivery prices are the same. Will definitely order again!!!

  • This parking plaza is so tiny. The area is also sketchy. Street parking is metered along the side street but free along El Cajon Blvd. We went with the basic standard safe dishes and ordered salt and pepper tofu ($10), salt and pepper chicken wings ($13), and orange chicken with rice ($13.50). The tofu was lightly breaded and deep fried with soft crispy shell and soft interior. Had chili garlic and scallion toppings that gave it a kick. The salt and pepper wings were jumbo and very crispy with all the flavors. Orange chicken was also well made. Had the tangy sauce. I think this is one of the better Chinese restaurants that I’ve been to based on these three dishes. It was hot, made to order and fresh. Clean, had seating, it’s just the parking lot that needs a reserved space for pick up.

  • I ordered through GrubHub but they use their own drivers (which I didn't know) and they were so fast! The food was super fresh and hot. I ordered the chicken with string beans and the spicy fried mushrooms, both are very tasty. Highly recommend!

  • I love city dragon because it’s the only place I know that has veggie eggrolls without mushrooms. Please never change your recipe. These are the best veggie eggrolls in all of San Diego. Everything else is phenomenal too - great to get delivered, very fast and very hot.

  • By far the most great experience, I got a chance to have a tiny talk with Jennifer who is I’m sure the mother owner of the Son that works there together and they’re so personable and so sweet and they will adjust your food to however the liking that you have The atmosphere seems so quaint family at the same time we could be something that you just wanna dive in and have a quick bite after a bar or before you go to the bar or how is that your evenings going is an amazing place. I will give this a 10 out of 10 I’m gluten-free. I haven’t been into my food yet but I can only imagine just from the smell of it and just from the love that you can tell that they put into the food it’s going to be amazing

  • Looks like the portions are a little smaller but, in these times, I can understand. Once again, Menustar the on line ordering screws up by charging my card, telling me it was declined and not sending my order. Save yourself the frustration, go in and order it call your order in.
