Established in 1986. May Dragon Festival is one of the most spectacular events in China. On the 5th day of each lunar May, families are reunited, feasts are served, dragon-boat are oared along the rivers, riddle contests are held and lantern parades are marched in the streets all over the country. The festivities are to commemorate the great patriotic poet, Chu Yuan, who served the Choo Dynasty and sacrificed himself for the commoners in 290 B.C. At May Dragon, we especially love the FEASTS. We have selected only the best chefs from China, who have mastered not only Mandarin, Hunan, Canton and Szechuan cuisine, but also many other regional delicacies. Over the years, our gourmet chefs have developed a blend of Chinese culinary art to please the eye, the nose and the palate.

I have been to May Dragon many times, but primarily for lunch and the quality has gone downhill over time. Tonight anyway, this was the worst Chinese food I can ever recall. We ordered takeout this time.
The crispy duck was completely dried out (almost beef jerky like) and inedible. No flavor for $24. I can't believe anyone would serve this to a customer. They should be ashamed. The shrimp in the shrimp and lobster sauce was overcooked and mushy - terrible. The spring rolls and fortune cookies were ok. I doubt I will ever return.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Mar 28, 2015Previous reviewThis place has been very good in previous "dine ins", but what we got for dinner tonight wasn't even good. Duck was dry and not sure fresh, shrimp w lobster sauce smelled very fishy (different than before), and crab ragoons didn't taste fresh. Also the brown rice we paid extra for was very dry. On the positive, the egg drop soup was excellent. Also the sesame chicken was very good. That's not enough to justify $70 plus tip for 3. Debating on whether worth another try. Probably will at least once since has been good before.

I joined a group of friends for lunch today. Friends said they love the restaurant but the food was just so-so.
There were 8 of us and we were seated at a round table with a lazy susan in a private enclave! It was nice to be able to see and talk to everyone during the meal.
Service was good. Drink & food orders promptly taken. Food arrived as ordered!
I ordered Szechwan Eggplant. My dish was just mediocre, lacking flavor, and texture. I've had better. The consensus of the table was that food taste and quality was lacking except for one person who ordered Sesame Chicken - she loved her dish.
It is doubtful that I will return to the restaurant. The $16 lunch special was expensive and there are much better options elsewhere.
I will say that our waiter did a great job! He was friendly, very courteous and was rewarded with a nice tip!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nov 28, 2023
I got delivery from here one weeknight with my roommate. I got the Crab Rangoon $10.00 for 4 pcs. This was meh, mostly just cream cheese inside and the breading was chewy not crispy. I also got a Hot & Sour Soup $4.00 which was pretty good and a good size. The crispy wontons that come with it are large and there are plenty in the bag unlike some other places. For my entrée I got the Sesame Chicken $20.00 which was just okay. The breading was not crispy at all, it was soggy due to the soup like sauce that filled the container. Their steamed rice was better than some places but the entrée was a real letdown. Not bad for a Chinese fix but very expensive for what you get.

I love this place. It's just about the only restaurant in town that serves real peking duck. It has other terrific dishes as well. Huge menu, and a well-seasoned waitstaff that knows their stuff.
They've been in this location forever, but apparently they are planning to move in a few months so that might be a little sad.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Blake Z.Addison, TX33648Jul 26, 2023
May Dragon's sesame chicken is a delight! The dish boasts crispy and tender chicken glazed in a flavorful sesame sauce, leaving a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a satisfying Chinese cuisine experience. A culinary gem that should not be missed!

Let me start by saying I have been a customer of May Dragon since 1990. This place is great! I can honestly say MD has the best Kung Pao Chicken I have ever had. Egg Rolls, Soup and just about every entree I have had have been great! Nice dinning rooms with comfortable ambience. Service is good, too. Come check it out!

My family just arrived from San Antonio 10/28/23 and we were really hungry. My sister in law viewed the reviews and it was enough for us to have our dinner here. Everyone was very friendly and owner friendly and our waiter was so nice. They took time to talk with my family and were engaged in our dinner conversation which was very nice. I ordered the shrimp and broccoli with steamed rice and dumplings. Wow the food was on point very, very delicious. I highly recommend this place, if you want fresh good food. Thank you for making our experience a very nice one.

I'm very particular when it comes to my Chinese food. I visited May Dragon today and had my favorite Chinese dish Teriyaki Chicken. I rarely describe a dish as perfect but from the juiciness of the chicken to the amazing sweetness of the teriyaki sauce I couldn't describe my meal any other way. I also believe the staff in any restaurant goes a long way when it comes to the success of any meal and I have to be honest these guys were 5 star, from their knowledge of the menu to their politeness.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Maydragon to anyone who is craving Chinese food, both for the food and the service.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 4, 2021
I can't believe how many times I've been in the area, and never thought to try this place out. I feel personally obligated to try ALL (well, most) Asian restaurants because I'm a Shrimp Fried rice head and I love the cuisine. So I'm baffled I missed this place for years.
Overall reviews are a 3 star and that's enough for me to go in. I'd actually gone to Jasmine down the street but they're only doing to go orders at the time...boo..
Food was solid; I ordered a combo fried rice, spring rolls and wonton soup. When I questioned which meats come in the rice, I was told shrimp, pork and chicken...but note, it comes with beef and not pork (which is what I wanted) so it was a little disappointing. Overall the rice was good although I had to add soy sauce. I wouldn't order the wonton soup again because its $3.00 and only comes with 1 small wonton and nothing else (shallots, etc in broth), although the broth has great potential.
I entertained being greedy and getting another entree to eat another day, but the prices of most chicken dishes I wanted were $14.00; yikes! I couldn't do it.
Overall its a good place with good service and nice owners so its a 3.5 stars for me. Ill try other items when I want to break that bread in the future to see if it warrants a 4 star.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
