Dragon court

   
                                                                DRAGON COURT

This my friends will not be easy to blog about so brace yo selves. So uhh where do I begin, okay so this picture is from google (because I couldn't find one picture for the dragon food court that wasn't just their menu), but that's okay. Dragon Court, alrighty so this restaurant has been uptown for as long as I can remember and it doesn't like a day over ancient. It's not my first choice for Chinese but hey I promised the good the bad and the ugly. When you come on in you can admire some cute chinese decor that's really nice but just looks really outdated. Another thing is that when you come in, it appears to be that absolutely no one is there but don't worry, there was or else I wouldn't have much to say. Looks are almost everything these days and although the Dragon court does not look as inviting as it could it has a very cute family that runs it. There's more to come, nothing to fear though, it's not a food fiasco.

                                                                    CHOW:  
Shrimp Lo Mein: Stir fried shrimp with thin noodles, broccoli, carrots and alfalfa sprouts
Pork Dumplings: Pork, onions and pastry
Vegetarian Spring rolls: alfalfa sprouts, mushrooms, carrots
Beed Lo Mein: Stir fried beef with thin noodles, broccoli, carrots and alfalfa sprouts
 Green Tea: Traditional herbal tea

                                                                   REVIEW:
Considering how much of a picky eater I am, this order was a success. Oh and I was ordering for two, my exchange student ya crazy. She had never had chinese food and It was uptown so I just thought hey what the heck let's go. I am in love with shrimp, I would marry it trust me so I had to order shrimp. The veggies were good too but I wasn't a fan of the carrots, they were big, not tasty and awkward and oh no me gusta. My exchange student really liked her Beef Lo Mein and we split both the dishes, they were quite delicious. I found it a tad bit greasy though, that's one thing I would definitely change for sure. Healthy changes where they can be made are really important so I would change that for sure.

I also really love dumplings and I have had them so many times in different places. At the Dragon court, they were supposed to be steamed and I thought they were really poorly done. I felt like I needed to wrap it up in a napkin and then eat it because it was really oily and greasy. On the other hand, I really liked the spring rolls, they were really tasty and my exchange student loved it, so it obviously had to be great.

#RANT okay, so I have one beef and no no no it's not about the beef lo mein, it my friends is about the tea. I didn't like the system they had set up for tea, there's the tea pot (Where is she going with this) and then there's the itty bitty cup that could probably hold, I don't know an EGG. When you drink tea at the dragon court they charge you per cup (Yes the cup that could hold the equivalent of an egg) and I just thought that was ridiculous. Okay #Rantsover .

                                             After all that, it was $18, not too shabby.

                                                              LOW DOWN:
 Okay friends, so not my favourite place in the whole wide world but we had a great time. Oh and I forgot to mention they had a lazy susan so they won my heard with their wit. The food needs to be less greasy and prepared a bit better. My biggest beef is with the customer service and this folks is a whole other story.

Before I began to blog about the Dragon Court, I chose to google and provide some history about the restaurant but as you can see I found nothing, nein, zip, nada. BUT (wait for it) I found other reviews on the restaurant, I would say see for yourself but it's not that pretty. Basically, everyone said that they would never go back there, that it looked abandoned and that it was really bad. I honestly think the biggest problem with the restaurant is the customer service and this can be fixed, no worries. the presentation needs to be brought up to date, a positive energy is needed and staff that are ready to change it up. I don't think I need to call Gordon Ramsay just yet to fix this place, the coast is clear.

                                                          RATE THE DATE:
                                                     3 AND A HALF FORKS
It was a great meal, great price but they need to get their butts in gear with the customer service. The Dragon Court used to be at its prime and it can be again if they change it up a bit.
