Mandarin Chinese Restaurant

I’ve eaten here a few times since moving to Napa. Unless I want to really spring for Empress M which is very over priced, but top quality. Dragon Valley is my go-to. They offer vegan options. You can modify things to come without egg etc. We generally get vegetable mei fun, this time I would say it was at least 60%veg, 40% or less noodle. Good or bad depending on what you like. I was wanting a noodle dish tonight so a little disappointed. I tried their vegetable moo Shu and it was the 1st time it wasn’t served with the pancakes. Not sure if it was a mistake or they don’t do that. Also got the sweet & sour tofu which was very good. I picked up the food late so the pictures don’t look as fresh but i will be back again.

I'm waiting for my bil at dr. I'm hungry. Its lunch. Let's do chinese. Google map... Dragon Valley- YAY! Szechuan style chinese food is my favorite. I like hot oil! They don't have hot oil wontons/dumplings though.. I was kinda sad. But I got the Mongolian beef lunch plate with Chow Mein. Roughly 13$. The lobby is nice. Large. I walked Into place my order and not even ten minutes later it was done. I took pictures- FIRST SIGHT IMPRESSION- Its beautiful food. When I opened the box, I was disappointed at the light color of my chow mein. I loved seeing the red peppers, chunks of garlic and green onions. The color of the beef is caramelized perfectly. It smelled amazing. FIRST BITE IMPRESSION- I thought the beef was a bit salty .. but honestly.. it paired perfectly with the chow mein. Which was not as bland or plain as it first looked. It has bean sprouts, cabbage & green onion in abundance. The beef had at least 5 fire roast red peppers, green and white onions, large chunks of garlic compliment the tender sliced marinated beef. A better cut is used here than most chinese restaurants in the same price range- or, the chef can marinate the hell out of a bad cut... but I don't think so. It's got SPICE & HEAT! But- its tolerable. Little red pepper flakes enhance the experience. LASTING IMPRESSION- I like it a lot! I might suggest either the water not judge on a look.. or to the chef- spruce up the chow mein in appearance. Pepper flakes... a purple cabbage instead of green.. either way- the food by taste is amazing. Whenever I'm hanging out here in the City of Napa- I his is where I'll be stopping for lunch! Can't wait to try other dishes!

Gave me mixed veggies without mushrooms as I requested. A little oily, but the veggies were fresh, and all was better than I expected, given some of the other reviews. Then we realized we were possibly going to miss our SFO flight. So all it took was a few words and gestures, small smiles all around, the server brought me boxes to pack, and the cashier got me out the door. They clearly do more takeout business than done in so that explains the so-so atmosphere, but the room and tables appeared clean and there were plenty of seasonal holiday decorations.

First time ordering. I had it delivered from Uber Eats. They missed one item but when I called they apologized and added extra food to our order. Really good sweet and sour chicken. Good Chicken and vegetables.

This was our (family) first time to eat here and we enjoyed the food and had big portions!
