We loved it! This was our first time at Soaring Dragon. As we entered, the small entryway was jammed with people waiting to be seated. We were told 'about 10 minutes'. About 10 minutes later, we were seated and our drink order was being taken. A few minutes later and we had placed our lunch order. My wife got the Mushoo Pork and I got the Thai Basil Chicken and Shrimp. Both meals were great. These weren't from the lunch menu, so the portions were large. We're taking over half of each home for later. Service was super fast and very pleasant. We'd love to eat here again.
Great food! Good servers and absolutely consistently delicious. It's our go to restaurant for a good meal with ample portions.
Location is a little hidden, the service is great and selection. My seasem chicken with brown rice was delicious. Chicken tender and tasty. Noodles was good and a generous serving. Thai chili beef so yummy. Will return
Stopped here on the way back to San Antonio and had the general tso's chicken dinner special. It was delicious! I also enjoyed the crab rangoons. I appreciated the polite server who quickly gave us what we needed and was very hospitable. The restaurant has a great vibe with an upscale look perfect for a casual dinner or date night! Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone looking for Chinese food in Kerrville!
This review popped up because of a recent take out order - that said - I'm a local and have ordered out many times from this place- it's always good. Staff are usually friendly. The few times I've eaten it - it's your typical Chinese restaurant.. little dark little simple not a lively restaurant. Small space but always full. So if the parking lot says anything on the average it brings a crowd which says a lot. Just my thoughts.. nothing exciting just consistently good.
Unexpected gem. Great prices and specials and food is really good. Has close parking. Restaurant not fancy, but food is good and service is quick. Regular stream of customers while I was there.
I have eaten here now twice and enjoyed both experiences. The overall size of the restaurant is small and it didn't looked packed on either visit. This made me wonder immediately if it was an indicator that the food was bad. It wasn't. It would turn out to be an indicator that the service was fast. They simply are too attentive to let this place fill up. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and seated. The over all decor is decorated simply, so outwardly it's atmosphere won't blow you away. But if that's how you judge the food, you're wrong. They had a pretty great dinner and lunch special on both visits to include a buy one, get one beer free deal. We ordered some sichuan dumplings as an appetizer and a Japanese beer. I find it funny that a Chinese place 没有中国的啤酒 (didn't have Chinese beer). Both the dinner and lunch specials come with an entree, a soup, and a side of an egg role or crab Rangoon. As soon as we ordered the entree the soup arrived at the table. It was a mere few seconds after that the dumplings arrived. Both were solid in terms of flavor. And the soup came with crunchy noodles, which some Chinese places fail to have. We had barely finished our soup and we're halfway through the dumplings with our entrees arrived. I ordered the Taiwanese Chili beef. It was great and actually somewhat Spicy. Having 正在中国了 (lived in China), the flavor profile reminded me of Xinjiang. It had all the earthy and spicy flavors to put me back on 羊肠路 ordering food from the street vendor. The portions were a good size and combined with the soup and appetizer, I was quite full and unable to finish my meal. So I took it home and had ready made lunch the next day. The service in addition to being speedy was attentive, drinks never went empty. As we finished the bottom of the beers we ordered, they were prompt to prompt us for a second. To go box was also quickly delivered after asking. When the bill came: two entrees, an appetizer and two beers plus tip was under 50. From seating to departing, eating at a normal pace, we were out the door in 30 minutes. It is also important to note that they managed this while doing a steady to go order business. I'd say no fewer than 20 people came in while we dined. No one stood around waiting for their order, they picked up, paid and left. It's a solid place to get a meal. It's also what I would call decent 中国菜 (Chinese food). Especially for a town like Kerville whose "fine dining" options routinely fall flat in my eyes in terms of both flavor and price per value of meal. I would say this establishment and Sake are the best Asian-American food options in town. I will be dining here again.
This is a great place to get Chinese food in Kerrville! They have affordable prices and it's always busy. I love the sweet and sour chicken with the egg drop soup. Always fresh, crispy, and tasty!
