Golden Dragon - Kannapolis

We ordered take out and the portions were huge, the service was friendly, the prices are reasonable, and we also got a surprise egg drop soup with our order. The flavors were good (not over salted like other places). I recommend asking for the homemade Chinese mustard.

This was definitely an unexpected gem. Its appearance from the outside is most certainly deceiving. I have passed this place countless times and was almost amused by the thought of actually going in. The inside matches the outside. It seemed very clean but dated. Decor was minimal and there is no music blaring in the background. The menu contains all the staples of Chinese food you see at almost any Chinese restaurant. The biggest difference is that almost all if not all of the food is homemade. None of this stuff looked like it was coming a refrigerated truck from a giant food distributor. The quality really shows. The egg rolls were some of the best I've had outside of more well known food areas. Certainly the best in Concord/Kannapolis. Everything we had that had been fried made it evident they were using very clean oil and cooking things for proper amounts of time. The egg rolls like everything else was crisp and perfectly golden. There was absolutely no discoloration or burned food particles from the fryer. All of the veggies and produce were brightly colored and fresh. I had the sesame chicken and it was fantastic. My wife tried egg foo young for the first time. Though it wasn't necessarily her thing we could tell the quality was on par with everything else we had. The fried rice was obviously made scratch as it was not your typical bright yellow rice with mixed veggies. It was colored by the soy sauce used in it instead. The prices were very reasonable, and the service was fantastic. Everyone was super friendly. I cannot say enough good. If you're in the area and are looking for Chinese head over. You won't be disappointed.

Why is the sesame chicken sweet? Is that zeppole or a donut dough they're using? No flavor, just sweet and bland bland bland. It's weird honestly. Way overpriced. 2 stars because it's hot and it looks like chicken but that's as high as I'll go.

I thought the food was very good. I have not eaten there since the mid 1980's when I was a teenager. I ordered a large assortment and took it home for a Friday movie night. We were all pleased. I will be back again.

No complaints, pretty good chinese take out. Best scallion chicken I've had around town. Free soup if you order online
