Good portions. Old school Chinese takeout at an affordable price. Orange chicken is particularly good.

This is my family's go to for quick chinese food for the past 20 years. I recommend ordering off the menu for items not on the steam table. Recently I ordered catering for church lunch and it was a hit. We ordered chow mein, fried rice, orange chicken, kung pao chicken, & broccoli beef. Food was fresh and flavorful without being salty. They pack it in so keep that in mind when ordering. Fair price, great quantity, great taste, and everyone enjoyed it. Support local family business!

My boyfriend & I were in town & decided to give Dragon Express a try. Very well kept, clean & organized restaurant staff is very friendly. My boyfriend ordered the fried chicken, kung pao, teriyaki chicken with the chow mean & fried rice. I ordered the cashew chicken ( didn't notice they had mushrooms in it I don't like mushrooms so I decided to order a side of the kung pao instead ). Everything tasted very delicious & I love that they give a decent amount of food portion. Will definitely be back if we're in this area. Thank you

If you're looking for good food at a reasonable price and fast, Dragon Express is the place for you. Usually fast food places sacrifice quality for price and speed, but not here. The steam table options are fresh and taste great. The a la carte options are quite good, particularly the sesame chicken, as well and rival many other close-by sit-down places like Chin's or Chef K. Best part is they give a ton of food so you get about 25% more value as compared to the higher priced sit-down places. And, I suppose, if you still want to sit down, you can always do it at Dragon Express as they have a fairly spacious dining area. You'll just have to deal with the takeout line that's usually out the door.

Actually shocked I am giving a 5 star review to a Chinese fast food restaurant. We came to Temecula for my son's game and it was late by the time we were done. We wanted something quick and my son always loves Chinese food. We were greeted as we walked in and didn't expected it to be a hard choice but they pretty much had fully loaded trays and everything looked good with generous amounts of protein in it. We got 2 item combos. I got sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken. My son got sweet and sour chicken and mandarin chicken. We both got mix chow mein and fried rice as well. Every item had great not overly sweet or greasy flavor. The chow mein and orange chicken were pretty much the best we've had. Most importantly the sweet and sour chicken and orange chicken was not all batter! The prices here are fair and the portion is generous. I'll be back for sure!

Wanted to try a locally owned business and found Dragon Express through Yelp. The portions are very good to say the least. I had the half & half fried rice & noodles which were pretty good. I opted for the 3 choices with beef & broccoli, black pepper beef and kung pao chicken. Everything was fresh but because everything is piled on top there is only slight variations of taste. I would have preferred a stronger flavor profile in the beef dishes. The kung pao chicken had very good spicy to it. The beef used in both dishes were tender. I would definitely go back because the food was good and the restaurant was clean. Even though the food is on a serving line none of the food looked old. I appreciated the customer service as well. Looking forward to trying other spicy dishes.

Surprisingly I really liked this place. The chicken with the sweet sauce on the side was good. The chow mein was good and the beef broccoli was decent. My only one thing is they used too much carrots in stir fry. For me, carrots should never be stir fried but most people stir fry them. The price is reasonable at about 12$. Everything is do expensive nowadays. 12$ isn't too bad. The inside is fairly clean, but just a bit hot in there. That seems common for Chinese fast food places.
