Dragon Cafe - La Vista

Still the consistently good Chinese food in the immediate vicinity. The Restuarant has long been there and the dining area is carried. On the day we were there, there was only one server and she did an amazing job considering that she did everything alone. The crab Rangoon was salty. The General Tso Chicken was great, but the broccoli was cold.

The food was good. But definitely pay in cash. I ordered food for execution and got home to see my bank account for $10 clamped over the original amount. The best guess is written by an employee in a tip. Did I mention that we ordered the execution?

$60 for lunch for 2 and they served raw Calamari and undercooked shrimps. Just eat here if you want food poisoning.

HORRIBLE. Had peanut butter chicken and sauce had no peanut butter, essentially a clear corn starch coating and was an inedible $20 meal. The combination of fried rice was good, sweet and acidic sauce was thin as water. This is not the first disappointment of them, but it will be the last. $40 for fried rice, crabs Rangoon and nasty peanut butter less chicken.

Mediocre food, even for a Chinese food craving it?s not worth it. We ordered take-out and the food was ready in about 30min. When we arrived at home half the food was room temp and half was still hot. We had a few different dishes. The fried sesame chicken and General Tso?s chicken weren?t bad, but the batter was soggy and both the sauces were uninspiring and overly sweet. All the stir-fried dishes were drowned in a generic brown sauce that was lacking in flavor. Nothing had a good sear or came out crispy. Everything visually looked and tasted soggy or boiled. We ordered some ?safe? sushi, Philly Roll and California. The wasabi didn?t have much flavor and the fake crab and smoked salmon both didn?t taste the best quality. I really wasn?t a fan of the cream cheese they used, a little too sour. The cucumber didn?t have that snap to it, it had more of a ?chew?. The size of the rolls were perfect for eating in one bite. The rice to filling ratio was also really well done. It?s a shame the quality of ingredients were poor. The crab rangoons weren?t my favorite. They had a bit of a sour taste to them and could have used another 30-60sec in the fryer. They most likely use the same cream cheese for the Philly roll and crab rangoons which explains the sour taste. The egg rolls were the only thing that didn?t have any issues and I would recommend those if you find yourself eating here. Overall the problem is just a lack of quality. The potential is there, but low-quality ingredients and cooking methods really hurt this place. If they decide to improve on that, it would be worth coming back.
