New Dragon Seafood Restaurant

Great prices & good quality food!
I came here with my family for my gf’s birthday and literally ordered the whole menu! Everything came out great, but a little too greasy, other than that it was amazing! You can’t beat that!

This review is strictly for the #27 Beef Brisket Wonton Noodle Soup.
Ive been on a search for a bowl of this in LA that was decent enough to compare to Mikes Noodle House in Seattle, and I’d have to say this definitely gets the job done.
Broth had some good taste to it, brisket was tender, and noodles were cooked well. I’d come back for this $ 7 bowl of goodness.

LA WEEKLY was correct about the Won Ton soup!
It was delicious, great price!
One of son’s order the Honey Walnut Shrimp and the other one order a Shrimp Fried rice and the we’re both very happy, let me tell you they are very picky eaters too. They said that they give it 4 stars.
We also order their Shrimp with spicy salt and a whole Sole fried fish and it was great with the fish sauce that came with it. It was our first time there and we will be back with more friends and family members.
The customer service was OUTSTANDING!
Both ladies that were there, sweet, big beautiful smiles & very courteous.
I highly recommend this spot!
Great prices too!

This is my go-​to dine alone spot. The wor wonton soup (small) is plenty for one person. Simple and soothing to the soul. Perfect for nights when my mind is all over the place, and I need a chill place to eat, reflect, and process. You can park in the little lot adjacent to the restaurant.

I tell you I love coming to China town. So today is Sunday my aunt has been coming to this restaurant for awhile. She always orders her bitter melon with egg for lunch. And she was extremely excited for me to try this place. Once we arrive it was not busy we got a parking spot right away. Horray right? Well once my aunt and I arrive. We got seated right away. And started looking through the menu. We ordered: house chow mein crispy noodles and sautéed spinach from the regular menu. And steam rice. The spinach was good but the noodles was not the best. My aunt was not happy with our lunch she ordered pork chop with spicy salt. Now that was good. Our service was extremely poor. Very unfriendly. And expensive. We took home everything but the noodles.

For the first months (January-​April) of last year, I came once a week to pick up their Lunch Special of Bitter Melon with Eggs (for my workday lunch). And last week, I came back for the first time after a long break. Everything was good. So this weekend, I excitedly brought my niece so that we can enjoy some delicious Chinatown food with good service. However, our visit was disappointing. The service was not nice unlike the service during weekdays. The waiter did not smile and the waitress had a long face. But I thought, okay. So then, there was an issue with the rice. From the regular menu, we ordered Sauteed Spinach and House Chow Mein (crispy), the latter because it is popular on Unilocal.We also ordered Steamed Rice. When our orders arrived, I didn’t care much for the House Chow Mein so I ordered the Pork Chop with Spicy Salt (from the Lunch Special menu). The Lunch Special Menu includes steamed rice at no extra charge. However, when the waiter brought the pork chop dish he did not include the steamed rice. I later asked him where the steamed rice was (because we needed more for the leftovers that we were taking home). And he pointed at the steamed rice we previously ordered – at an extra charge. (And he pointed at it in a way that said, «There it is! What are you talking about.») I didn’t bother to argue. .. it is Chinatown.
My niece later said that the House Chow Mein was not that good. For all its worth, the pork chop was good. And another good thing, we found parking in their 4-​space parking lot…because the restaurant was empty. I wonder why. ..
Cost of visit: $ 32 for two people including tip. Definitely not worth it. I’ve had $ 25 meals for two here at the Westside that were delicious and included good service to boot.

Wow look at this beef brisket wonton noodle soup (6.90)
Smells delicious, large pieces of fresh seafood wonton (with sweet shrimp inside) Also very generous with their beef, tender and flavorful.
Soup is basic without much MSG taste!
Old school Chinese set up.

I ordered some take-​out noodles from New Dragon after seeing a play Downtown at the Taper. I’m ethnically Chinese, and I was hoping to discover a great new place to visit when I’m Downtown, but I wasn’t blown away by New Dragon. I very seldom put soy sauce or sriracha on my noodles, yet I did add sriracha to get more flavor into my dish. In fairness to New Dragon, I came about 30 minutes before closing, and maybe they didn’t give it their best effort.
The pricing and portion size are not as generous as what you’d find in San Gabriel.

I ate there for the first time tonight (solo) and ordered the seafood chow mein with spaghetti noodles. They had 3 noodle choices and I asked the waitress which was best; this was her choice. The food came out promptly and was decent. Not exceptional, not bad. The service was pleasant-​not superb but certainly acceptable. There was were only two other tables occupied — another single guy and a small family. I arrived at 7:50 pm on a Friday night, so this wasn’t an exceptional showing, but maybe they do more business during the day. There isn’t a lot of foot traffic at this hour in this micro-​neighborhood.
The menu was pretty extensive, mostly a-​la-​cart. There were a few family dinners, but these were probably for 4 or more people as prices were above $ 30 and went to $ 128 or so. I only ordered the entrée, which was more than enough for me without an appetizer. The jasmine tea and fortune cookie were gratis, and the entire tab was $ 9. There isn’t much else to add. I might go back but nothing was compelling.

Walkable from Union Station. Would I recommend it (or ever do it again?). Probably not :)
The food was really good considering this is in official LA Chinatown. While most foodies and critics will say this is old chinatown compared to the Alhambra/​Monterey Park area now, this is one of the remaining restaurants that is still worth visiting. The food is americanized, but surely better than the joint across the street which touts that it was in the rush hour movie, 15+ years ago. ;-)
Get the wonton soup. Won’t disappoint.

Ordered the shrimp with walnuts and mayonnaise. Awful
Also ordered the beef with green onions and ginger. They used dry ginger. Not good.
And this place is not cheap. $$$

I’m always here for the one dish, which is the Wonton Noodle Soup. I have been here more than 10 times in the past year because of the noodle soup craves. So my review is not reflecting any other dish, other than the Wonton Noodle Soup ($ 5.50) (I will put it this way, I have tried many other dishes about 4 – 5 years back, but won’t bother ordering anything else any more)
The Honk Kong style noodles soup is a scarce in the great city of angels. This place is the only place I found that resembles very closely to the authentic noodle soup of the similar type I’ve had in Asia. You eat it with Chilli oil and pour in the red vinegar to give an extra kick.
Service, however, has always been a missed. Normally, when I frequent this type of establishment, I never expect there service to be anything memorable. But this place has consistently ranked among the worse in my book. I don’t understand why we rarely get seated, taken order, nor checks in the first-​come-​first-​serve basis. Regardless of the situation, busy, or non-​busy hours. Majority of the time, I just don’t bother and walk up to the counter to request check and pay there.
I have a really weak stomach and always able to gauge the cleanliness of the establishment by timing my tummy’s movement after the meal. This method has been working for me even when I have McDonald’s. This place has not been giving me any loo time ever.
Despite the bad rating I’m giving, I will still come back and bring more people with me just for the Wonton Noodle Soup.

Edible but not something I’ll come back to. Overall the 52 dollar course was alright at best, seafood cove beat this place by a long shot.
–The beef stir was plain and essentially had no flavor.
–Shrimp was good along with the chicken. The chicken was really dry but the skin made it great. The other three were not worth mentioning because it wasn’t good enough to leave an impression.
–Also the lobster was 58 dollars for one and I’m pretty sure they are trying to rip you off since those little crustacean look 20 dollars at best.
If anything try some different ma and pop restaurant down the street called cbs Chinese restaurant. This place needs to kick the bucket.

Went to this place for the first time and oh boy was it awful. Horrible service ever. I ordered dishes that were on the recommendation list which is house chow mien, orange chicken, and black sauce clams. The noodles tasted extra oily not to mention how burnt the pork meat looked. Orange chicken came out and there were NO CHICKEN MEAT what so ever I was biting into all batter and sauce. (FYI I literally cut the pieces in half hoping there would be meat) clams were ok.
Overall, This is the last time I’ll ever eat there.

I was grossly overcharged (per images) for my wonton noodle soup. I politely inquired about it with the waiter said it was $ 2.00 extra for the noodles. No where in the menu it says this. On top of this the wonton noodle soup is listed at $ 5.50, and they charged me $ 5.75. A man from the kitchen came out and got upset with me as was the waiter and kept saying $ 2.00 extra for noodle and the cost difference was just tax (face palm) I wasn’t upset, but they seemed very upset and refused too look at the menu price. But when the waiter started to demanding I give him more money after I payed $ 8.45 that’s when I got upset and sadly will never come back.
I support small businesses. But being opening dishonest to your customers is really beyond rude and I asking for more money after I payed more than I already needed to crosses the line.
Extremely dishonest with the price.

Pretty average Chinese food. We originally wanted to go to full house, but they were closed for repairs. We ordered the chow mein, beef chow fun and string beans.
I didn’t try the chow mein, but it looked good. The chow fun was good and not overly salty. I thought the chow fun seemed a little too oily for some reason. The green beans were good, I think it’s pretty hard to mess up on that.
Service is fast. We waited awhile since it happened to be Chinatown Summer Nights that night.

This is a tiny hole in the wall place in Chinatown. You can’t really expect too much in terms of service here since it’s located in this area.
Their food was decent and it tastes pretty authentic. Kind of reminds me a bit of China. But comparing it to other places in the 626, it’s a whole different feel.

Ok, good to go. Not fantastic, but there is a constant flow of customers so it must be good. There is a private lot for parking your car. This is great as the parking on Hill Street is via meters.
Order the tilapia in clay pot and beef on a hot plate.
After your meal, walk around Chinatown to soak in the feel.

The New Dragon Chinese Restaurant is located near the Los Angeles Chinatown. The restaurant has a private lot in front of Lee’s Travel Services with a few spots. For Drinks, they have beer, thai iced tea, and soda. For dinner, we ordered the following:
(1) West Lake Style Beef Soup with tofu, egg, beef, bamboo, corn, and parsley, (2) Honey Walnut Shrimp, (3) Steamed Chicken served with ginger scallion oil, (4) Salty Fish and Tofu in Clay Pot, (5) Sautéed Fish Filets with Assorted Vegetables (celery, mushroom, carrot), and (6) Sautéed Snow Peas with Garlic. The taste was about average. Unlike most restaurants, this shrimp dish didn’t come with any broccoli crowns. The chicken was over cooked– not smooth or tender. The fish filets were quite fishy.

I dig New Dragon Seafood a lot. I have been here twice, came the second time round for their lunch special. They had a variety of dishes costing from $ 5.76 — $ 7.75.
We ordered the BBQ cha siu pork with egg. It was delicious! Definitely a little on the greasy oily side but the eggs were fluffy, soft and creamy. Even though the cha siu is on the smaller portion side, it was only $ 6 for a large dish. The beef stew curry was amazing. I love tendons, brisket and stew, it had crunch celery, green peppers in it. Each table comes with a large tub of steamed rice, and a broth based soup. CHEAP + AFFORDABLE.
