“ I moved away from Calexico 30 years ago. I always missed the Imperial Valley/Mexicali chinese food. It leans towards Cantonese, but it's influenced by the area. Golden Dragon when it opened was one of many great chinese food restaurants in Calexico. It lost its way once the original owner passed away and had some dismal years, BUT I'm glad to say the flavor is back. The new owners are true to Mexicali/Imperial Valley Chinese food flavor! I loved it, and it brought back great memories! It's the last Chinese food restaurant in Calexico and it doesn't disappoint! Everything was good today!!!! Thanks Golden Dragon!!! By the way, they got 40s too!!! ”
“ This Chinese restaurant is for me an unexpected treat. I found myself in Calexico on a quick trip and stopped in here for lunch. The walnut shrimp are a fine entree, it is a yummy dish that is quite large, I did take some home. I also had a side of appetizer dumplings. They were OK, but I think my wife makes better ones. The garlic vinegar sauce would improve these. Service was good and I was in fairly early and the jasmine tea was good. Today was probably the hottest day I have EVER had hot tea. I think it was 115 when I left. I will eat here again, this food is good. ”
“ The food was really good. Everyone loved it. The portions were plentiful. We even had to pack about half. We bought the #2 for four people and everyone was stuffed. I liked that they have attentive service. I would definitely come here again. ”
“ I visited with three other folks who love Chinese food (and Asian fusion). We are from San Diego, where there are a lot of Chinese restaurants, and we felt it was equal to or better than any place we have been to. The place is easy to find and comfortable, with great service. The people with me enjoyed chop suey, a tofu dish, and chow mien. I personally had the fish and vegetables dish :) ”
“ Desde que volvio abrir sus puertas. La Comida ha estado muy rica. Es verdad que si parece como la De mexicali. Ojala sigan asi. Servicio es rapido, porciones muy buenas y la Comida muy buena ”
“ While in Calexico for work I decided to go to golden dragon for dinner. There was only one other person inside when I first arrived but folks started coming in after awhile, there were several takeout orders placed though. Service was quick and the server was friendly. I ordered the ginger beef, picked up my book to read for awhile and before I knew it the food was ready, only a couple of pages later. It came out piping hot, with white rice and was the perfect portion size. The meal was great, the only reason for taking off a star is because while I love ginger, some bites were just a bit too much. The ginger didn't seem to be cooked into the meal, but more so just fresh slices sprinkled in and when you get a big slice it can be a kicker. Overall, I would certainly come back and try their other dishes. Good service, food was quickly prepared, hot and tasty. ”
“ I came here on a road trip. My daughter was hungry! We decided to venture out past Viejas. We were in El Centro. I didn't realize how close we were to the Mexican border. Anyway, we were greeted Hello by a nice lady. We sat at the corner table. I got a Diet Coke to drink. I got the lunch special E which included fried rice, noodles and beef broccoli. Every thing was tasty. It reminded me of a Chinese restaurant in the South Bay. I definitely enjoyed the noodles and fried rice. Plenty of seating inside and the restaurant was clean. The lady serving us was very nice and refilled our drinks right away. The restroom was clean which was nice. That shows they keep their restaurant clean. It wasn't too busy. Parking can get full. I managed to find a stall at the end. I would definitely come back to try other items. ”
