Food was awesome. Delivery time was magically fast. It said it would take an hour and 20 minutes but they came within 20 minutes. Impressed and will be ordering again.
Ever since the other competing Chinese restaurants in the area took a nose dive for the worse, I've been hunting for my new go-to spot. D&P showed up on Seamless. Prices are beyond right. Menu looked awesome. I thought, "Why not?!"
I ordered a slew of things (in order to see if they could nail all types of dishes) and made my way through them over the course of a week and a half. This place is the bomb! From Szechuan Dumplings (which were SUPER interesting because the filling is the szechuan…not the usual chili oil or peanut sauce!), to Singapore Mei Fun, Hot & Spicy Duck, Pork Egg Roll…and even the simply fried chicken wings, pork and chicken fried rices, and the single best spare rib tips I've ever had.
AMAZING! And very fast delivery (but not so fast you go, "…hmmmmm…..")!
Oh hells yea this place is bomb… Wanted something quick and delivered to me.. Pork egg fried rice , veggie spring roll, egg drop soup ,ribs! All good.. I've been in this place also, it's clean.. Like 1 or 2 tables in there I wouldn't recommend eating in there unless you're dolo… Amazeballs spring roll, I housed that thing in about 2sec nomnom.. Place is cheap too I mean all Chinese places usually are anyway.. Usually…Next time I'll opt for a full combo plate and get real crazy …
To be honest, it's a dream to live within walking distance of this place. This Chinese takeout well rounds the Astoria Food District.
They have just the right amount of grease on the light up picture menus above the register. The lights have gone out on a few of them but you can still make out the lettering.
With the foot traffic this place receives, I know they can remodel, but I also know the imperfect quality under the tracks, is what brings us Astorians (Ditmarians?) coming back.
They make eye contact with you as soon as you walk in the door so you know they'll be back to take your order when they're done packaging meals or taking phone or internet orders.
The menu is traditional; the way I like it. Extra sauce? No problem.
They cram the rice and chicken in the containers perfectly where you feel like you're getting a deal, and you're also not making a mess when you open it.
The rice may not be hand picked and it wouldn't surprise me if the chicken wasn't free range organic, and by golly, if they use a dash of msg, I'll turn my head… Because isn't that what good Chinese take out is all about?
Dragon and Phoenix is the place that trendy Chinese restaurants in the village model after except they use white table cloths and clean deep fryer oil.
It took many moons to get a fortune cookie in my to-go bag, but tonight I got one.
I can't tell you what the fortune was because it won't come true. But let's just say I'm looking forward to it just as much as my next visit.
If I took all of the money I have spent at Dragon & Phoenix, I probably could own a decent size house in Florida.
My A+, GO TO spot for Chinese food. I have lived in Astoria all of my life, and D&P really do the job right. They are the ONLY place that has Cheese Wontons the way I like them. Im not sure if this is a less popular way of making them, but they are not the triangle shaped sweet cheese won-tons…these are the ACTUAL wonton shaped little bucket of love! (an actual cheesy taste, not sugar)
I love the crunchiness of the General Tso's chicken. The rice is all on point and delivery is SPEEDY….delivery guy always has a huge smile on his face and is always very thankful regardless of tip size.
Try them out, you wont regret it!
Seamless, I mean come on how can you not love it?
Dragon & Phoenix is my default for Chinese delivery. The menu is standard Chinese-American fare, and part & parcel from what we've all come to expect from typical NYC Chinese food. I can't say that I've ever dined in, although I walk by the place daily on my way to the train; I do know that their dining room is pretty tiny. If I were a betting man I'd say that delivery makes up the bulk of their business.
It's great food, the order is always accurate, they're usually on time with delivery, if not a few minutes before. They always follow special instructions, and they usually even toss a free soda in with the order which I think is awfully sweet of them.
You definitely won't here any complaints from me about Dragon & Phoenix.
I don't like making negative reviews. That being said, the only time I've ever had food poisoning was from here. I was sick to my stomach and vomiting for 12 hrs. The only thing I ate that day was the eggplant and white rice entrée and the wonton soup from this restaurant. When I told the staff about my sickness there wasn't much anyone said for my troubles or for food safety prevention in the future.
Please be weary.
So far the best chinese takeout we've been able to find since moving to Astoria. Highly recommend the chicken and broccoli in brown sauce, chicken fried rice, and wonton soup. Everything was delicious!
