⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Sum-yu C
The food was delicious & the vibe of the place was chill. The inside looks very beautiful and decorated with a long dragon lantern on the ceiling. Great time to sit, eat, and yap with friends! Plus they open until 2am. My friends and I ate all of food we ordered happily and ended up stuffed.

To start - don’t forget to join the membership! It’s free and you get rewards monthly with their changing menu :) Amazing food with amazing service :) while it’s really good, it’s really spicy, so my husband and I enjoy it more than our kiddo lol. Everything is really good but I recommend the Chong Qing noodles (sorry for any misspelling), Mediterranean chicken, and cucumber salad. Their desserts are by far some of the most fun I’ve ever had the pleasure to encounter too! We got the dragon’s breath for our kiddo and a rabbit coconut milk cake for us to share. The owner also has two cute little puppies. I really have nothing but great things to say about this place!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Emarie Velez
We really enjoyed the fried rice and pork—the flavors were great! The dessert was fun to try, though it wasn’t my favorite taste-wise. Overall, I had a unique experience here that you probably won’t find anywhere else, and the service was kind and welcoming. The only downsides were the limited parking (only about three spots in front, so we had to park in the garage across the intersection) and the tables could have been a bit cleaner. It is a college-town spot though, so maybe I’m being a little tough with my review.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Stephanie Gilstrap
Excellent experience every time we go. Some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Better quality ingredients than most places and doesn’t make you feel awful when you leave. No msg! Huge fan of the dumplings, beef skewers and orange chicken. Highly recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Adilene Victoria
Pretty delicious food, we came in around 3pm and it was empty so service was swift and the sever was super sweet. I didn’t take any pictures besides the dessert but trust me you will not regret coming here. Beef Skewers, Pineapple Chicken, Seafood Dumplings & Hot Beef Wonton Soup is all we got. Good sized portions, like huge honestly. Cant wait to come again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Jennifer DiPietro
I understand the hype surrounding Dragon Flame. The food is good not great (we ordered the lemon chicken 8/10, drumsticks 7/10 and dumplings 9/10) but the whole dining experience is just fun and unique. I’m very excited to try again in the future and order based on previous reviews.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Chazz Pratt
This is a cool little spot located on the outskirts of ASU! It’s tucked in nicely on a small street (E. Lemon St.) off of S. Rural which is just South of University Ave. You can’t indoors or outdoors. The menu includes several ancient recipes and the dishes are flavorful. We had Emperor Bone Broth Fried Rice, Orange Chicken, they even made a kid-friendly dish with no spices. Our Server was excellent! She made sure our meal and dining experience was top notch. We’ve eaten here at least 2 other times and Dragon Flame Chinese Grill never disappoints!
