Editorial Review for Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant – by Fred Benton

In Short
The small, nicely appointed interior is devoid of the typical Chinese restaurant kitsch. The pot stickers, in contrast, are excellent. The boneless duck entree should be prized by duck-lovers for its crispy skin. The duck's brown sauce is heaven on a plate: slightly sweet, with laudable depth. It's no different here, but with excellent crispy veggies and a tasty sauce.

Insider Tips

Where To Sit

The open interior doesn't lend itself to intimacy. If you want a romantic dinner, reserve the restaurant's corner booth. Reservations are accepted later in the evening (about 8:30pm).

Parking

There is off-street parking exclusively for Red Dragon in a small lot located to the immediate left of the restaurant. On-street parking can be a hassle during peak service hours.

First time going to Red Dragon, we will go back. The food was very well prepared. I had chicken with broccoli. I asked for it spicy, our waiter took the time to explain the two sauces that have that would be spicy. I went with his recommendation, spicy brown sauce. Great time! Place is small, you may have a wait.

I went to this place and had the tofu vegetable dish-- best I have had in Raleigh. The veggies were fresh and the brown sauce was flavorful, the spring roll was good, but the wonton soup was a little on the bland side, but still flavorful, especially after adding a bit of soy sauce. The drawback is that the menu does not have a wide variety or staples I expect at a Chinese place (like Spare Ribs, egg rolls, or noodles other than lo mein) & if you go at night it is incredibly difficult to find because the awning isn't lit. The owner said they have been there 15 years so people just know where they are. I highly recommend it. ...And I'm sorry but I can't resist-- to the woman who thinks the staff was rude for shushing your kids (and those like you)-- I applaud them! Nobody wants to hear your loud and obnoxious kids-- yes I'm sure it was disturbing to others trying to enjoy their meals around you (thereby obnoxious) which caused the staff to shush YOUR kids-- a job YOU should have been taking care of yourself. If you want your kids to behave loudly or run around a restaurant like it's a playground, go to chucky cheese, otherwise be considerate to those around you and keep your kids disciplined in public.

Pros: Great Raleigh Chinese Take-Out

Cons: Small Menu
