Little Dragons Chinese Restaurant

I used to live over by this place and would go 3+ times/week. Moved from there a few years ago, but was nearby, so I dropped in. Prices, as everywhere, have gone way up, but the food is still really good. I got my favorites (general tso's chicken, bean curd pork, and pork fried rice) and asked for it all extra, extra spicy. The pork fried rice was at that level of spice. There's a good amount of vegetables and meat in there as well. The general tso's was less spicy, but since I dined in, the breading was still good and not soggy. The bean curd pork was probably in between the other two in spice level. It was good, but I wish it'd been spicier. I did get white rice with those two dishes, and water and hot tea to drink. There's sugar and sweet n low on the table to use. Service was ok, they were getting busier as I sat there, so they didn't check on me too much. But they did bring me extra white rice with the boxes for leftovers. I spent almost $50 with tip, but I did get a good amount of food. I'll definitely be back, this is one of my favorites in Columbus.

The walnut shrimp was delicious but odd... Shrimp cooked perfectly with lots of walnuts, but instead of either a sweet white sauce or savory brown sauce, it had mayonnaise drizzled all over the top. I have a hard time with super sweet, so it was fine, but it did strike me as a bit lazy and lacking in authenticity or flavor. The broccoli was undercooked for my taste, but the shrimp made up for it. My husband got sweet and sour chicken, and he really liked it. Both came with white rice. The crab Rangoon tasted great even though it was folded in the triangle fashion I detest. The waiter was great, and I loved the koi fish tank in the entrance.

Love this place! The lunch special is a fantastic value, and just tasty Americanized chinese if you're in the mood for a good sesame chicken. However, it doesn't end there. Judging from the elderly chinese patrons, the traditional dishes also slap. I had their crispy spicy fish, and it was so deep in flavor and spice, had large bits of yummy garlic, a wonderful light crispy crunch, and it was spicy but not overpowering. Though I'm partially chinese myself, I'm much more Vietnamese so I cant speak to the authenticity of the food. But I can say it was delicious! Service is always nice and the restaurant is cozy. Fish tank is always a win.

I am impressed. While Little Dragons menu included several classic "Americanized" Chinese dishes, they also have a multitude of authentic Asian dishes that I had never seen before, just waiting Tobe explored. I chose the Mongolian lamb and it was excellent. The staff was appropriately polite and attentive. And the few unused tables were clean. Over half of the diners tonight were speaking Asian languages, that is always a sign of quality in every ethnic qusine. Amazingly the food appeared almost magically moments after we ordered. I have to say Little Dragons you are my new favorite spot. Because you are a BIG value and exceeded all of my other expectations; I recognize you with MAX stars! Cheers! You deserve it.
