    Came to Emory University for orientation with my son and we had lunch here. Great selection, different styles of noodles, and sauces. Had the crispy pork belly, raman, deep fried brussel sprouts, and vietnamese sauce. It was great! My son the ramen soup with grilled chicken and he loved it! Don't miss passing by here when on tour with your kids, you know they're going to be here all the time!

    Food is sub par. They do have options for vegans and vegetarians which is good. But the flavor of the food is flat and the rice is dry. Also, they don't wok fry their noodles so basically they boil noodles and put all the stuff on top and you have to mix it. Both the drinks and the sauces are too sweet. The kale salad is mostly cabbage?? Overpriced bowls that lack flavor imagination, you can make better at home. Customer service is not friendly. $7 for 4 dumplings 🙃.

    I need to break down this 4 star rating, because it's really an average of highs and lows, that I will subrate below; 5 ⭐'s for customer service. Let me highlight Hasaan, the guy working the counter. Real friendly guy, took the time to explain the menu, make suggestions and even brought our food out. We aren't local, so we had a good talk and though we took Hasaan from his job for a bit, he was the best part of the Dragon Bowl experience. 3.5⭐'s on the location as it has outdoor seating, decent parking lot and nice decor. I found the bathrooms dirtier than I stood for in my restaurant and cleanliness in the kitchen was subpar that I could see. 2.8⭐'s on the food. Frankly, the ramen lacked flavor, the sesame chicken lacked sauce, the veggies are cut too big to eat easily and the overall dishes pictured led me to feel I was in for quite the experience. The presentation is good, but the flavors just aren't there. I hope I caught this place on a bad day food wise. 4.2⭐'s on the drink options though. The dragon water and black tea were good and the lemonade was great. In summary, try for yourself. I felt it was priced a tad strong but the location is worth it, as are the seating options. I will return again in the future and amend my review if improvement occurs.

    Excellent food, employees and vibe. Good amount of food for the price. Ordered the ramen with chicken, broccoli and brussel sprouts with cilantro. Teriyaki sauce was great. Highly recommend each part, especially the brussel sprouts.

  • 5/5 Alford Arnold J. 2 years ago on Google
    3.1.22 Decided to check this spot out after a run at Piedmont park. I enjoyed the food here and customer service... Established was clean... The sweet potato and broccoli was cooked very good.. I thought the chicken amount was s little low but I think they just put it all on one side of the dish. I'll go back and try the noodles one day. I thought the portion side of the whole dish was good.

  • 1/5 Steven T. 1 year ago on Google
    This is some of the worst “Asian” food I have had before. We got the ramen and the bibimbap. The Ramen was only a little better than top ramen. The broth was like tasteless with a strong soy sauce flavor. The only options for protein was chicken and tofu which I got. The tofu was only seared on one side and also had little taste. The bibimbap was only slightly better. For $13 and $14.50 I was shocked and urge you to find a different location to have lunch. I think the only way this place stays in business is because it is so close to Emory.

    I got the Panang curry, it was a good amount of food for the price. I thought it could’ve been a little bit spicier and there wasn’t enough rice, but overall very good value for the price.

  • 5/5 Ashley N. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious! The vegetables were so good my pickiest eater was gobbling them up. The portion sizes were fantastic. My husband and I agree that if we lived close by we'd eat here all the time.

  • 5/5 Jan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food. Staff were nice and it was reasonably priced. I'll be back if I return to Atlanta.

  • 2/5 Melody M. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately my boss really likes this place so we'll have to keep coming back here. I ordered for pick-up, but when I go there, no one acknowledged me. I stood in front of the pickup counter for 10 minutes and nothing. The guy acknowledged the girl standing behind me who'd just gotten there, and 3 other people. I sat down, still nothing. The to-go guy and the regular cashier even swapped places and It was like I didn't exist. I stood in line and that's when they finally asked what I was waiting for. When I told them my name, they handed me the already made bags that the to-go person had stuffed under their counter. He never once called my name like he did the many people who came in after and before me. I even saw him putting my bags down beneath the counter 5 minutes before I decided to wait in line. It's ridiculous. They need a better system for pick-up orders. The food was right, so I added 1 more star.

    Dragon bowl is one of our favorite restaurants! The bowls are quick, pretty healthy, and always delicious. They offer generous portions and plenty of seating for dine in. I highly recommend them!

  • 5/5 David J. 1 year ago on Google
    Always excellent dishes and friendly staff. I eat at one of their locations at least once a month since my college days (more that 18 years ago) and never had a bad experience with the food or the staff. PS Sign up with the awards club, it worth it.

  • 4/5 Sherryl L. 1 year ago on Google
    The teriyaki bowl with crispy chicken was delicious. But, I didn't care for the sesame bowl. It had a burnt taste. Even though there were only 2 other customers, the wait was long. The waiter did come by a couple of times apologizing for the wait.

  • 5/5 Raushanah N. B. 1 year ago on Google
    The best restaurant in Emory Village and I'm so sad they are closing on February 3rd. Always consistently great food and customer service.

  • 5/5 Kayla F. 1 year ago on Google
    This has been one of my favorite restaurants for years and I'm sad to see it go!

  • 3/5 Google C. 5 years ago on Google
    Decent food, good location. Free parking and good ambience. There are a handful of options for plates but not many. The food was ok, kind of overpriced for what you get. Sauces were pretty good and there are free fortune cookies. I'd visit again if I read in the area but wouldn't necessarily recommend.

  • 5/5 Cierra S. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place!! Great food! Never disappointed when I come here!

  • 5/5 Miguel M. 6 years ago on Google
    This place is so delicious! Veggie bowls, ramen, salads. Just had the green curry. It was incredible, huge, tasty, and healthy! Options mostly in the $12-18 range. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves Asian cuisine!

    Excellent selection of protein and veggies. Friendly staff, delicious food.

  • 4/5 Triston M. 4 years ago on Google
    It was good food and somewhere different. Would recommend it you're looking for something new to try but it's definitely not your usually Asian cuisine.

  • 5/5 Lisa G. 4 years ago on Google
    First time customer. Cashier was very helpful with helping me put together my bowl. Hubby said he didn't want to try this but ate most of my bowl😊 WE had the Bibimbap and dumplings. Food was delicious!

  • 5/5 Eric S. 3 years ago on Google
    We like this place and order from here regularly. I like the bimibap and curry bowls.

  • 4/5 Brandy S. 6 years ago on Google

    At the first moment you step in this restaurant the waiters give you a great feeling.

Highly recommended.

  • 3/5 Lilshorty 4 years ago on Google
    My daughter and I came all the way from Snellville, it’s our favorite Asian fusion spot. Today I was disappointed with my order. I ordered the grilled chicken bowl with brussel sprouts and zucchini for my vegetables. The Brussel sprouts ended up being completely burnt. The worker shared with me that they’re “always burnt” but, I’ve been here before and that is not true. Also, my noodles weren’t completely cooked through. It was such a disappointment since I came so far and, here is a picture of my Brussel sprouts and noodles.

    Good food. Good customer service.

  • 3/5 JT R. 4 years ago on Google
    The food is alright: a little too bland and inauthentic for me. However, the atmosphere is great and staff are very friendly.

  • 1/5 Avery B. 4 years ago on Google
    I ordered food for me and my family, but Dragon Bowl did not deliver the whole order. When we called to ask where the rest of the food was, they told us that they forgot to pack it and could not give us the food. they did not care at all about the inconvenience. we never got the rest of our food because they were short on delivery cars. quite annoying.
