Legit the food is amazing and the owners are down to earth and awesome people. Unfortunate that it is in a gas station, but I promise you it is worth trying. I have been several times and have never been disappointed. I will continue to eat here and at their taco stand, tacos, VIP as long as they are around
Where Gas Station Gourmet Takes the Stage! If you're like me and consider your taste buds adrenaline junkies, welcome to the gastronomic rollercoaster that is Dragon Bowl. I think it's it Puerto Rican/Asian Fusion? Well, it's like a culinary party where plantains, egg rolls, and wontons mingle, and they all RSVP "delicious." The main entrees? Chicken, steak, pork – it's a protein fiesta with a side of tough decisions. And don't even get me started on the white rice, fried rice, or low mein showdown – it's the carb Olympics of your dreams.
Now, I get it – it's in a gas station. Skepticism might tap you on the shoulder, but trust me, Dragon Bowl is the gourmet oasis you didn't know your gas station pit stop needed. It's like finding a foodie treasure amidst fuel pumps. So, buckle up, roll down your window, and let Dragon Bowl take your taste buds on a wild, unexpected ride. Worth it? Absolutely. Try it at least once – your palate will thank you for the adventure! My favorite so far is the pepper steak and white rice.
Update: Wanted to give Dragon Bowl a second chance after having visited over half a year ago as posted below. Party of two. From time order to food ready was less than 10 minutes. Food portions were large enough for two meals and the price continues to be reasonable. This time we decided to add the Crab Rangoon (it is still listed as 'crab meat' even though it is imitation...this needs to be fixed on the menu). All three menu items ordered had more flavor than before, so our experience showed improvement. Kudos to the owener/staff.
Showed up as the only customers at counter. Staff was friendly and helpful. From time of order to food ready was 18 minutes. Beverages not available (not even cup of water) since this is inside a gas station. If you want drinks, you'll have to buy from the station or go home and get your own. Large portions of rice, but nothing extraordinary about the food itself. Chicarron de Pollo had almost no flavor of the advertised garlic and lime. Eggroll was large, but average tasting at best. Dragon tacos were rated as good. Crab Rangoon advertised as crab meat, but it is not real crab, it is imitation...they need to say this on the menu. Nice idea for a place to eat and we will probably try them one more time and I wish them well, but there are much better Asian places in the area.
The food is good. Unique, for sure. The only thing would be great if the staff would be able to interact with us. The food is unique, and not one person asked if we needed help with the menu. You would want to help your customers with the menu... but the food was made quickly. At least we tried it!
This place opened right near us recently, and I have been wanting to try it since a google review posted a pic of the menu inside showing, “Try our vegan bowl.” The vegan bowl is nowhere on the online menu, so we had to go inside to order. The vegan bowl is no longer on the inside menu board, but the staff were happy to make it for me still. Everyone was very nice and professional and offered to bring our food outside to us so we could wait in the car. My vegan bowl was a HUGE bowl of yummy veggies and some noodles in a yummy sauce. Everything was so hot and fresh. It would be nice to be able to choose steamed rice or noodles, and I might ask to do that next time. The plantains were absolutely lovely. My meat eater other half got a 2 meet entree with orange and chicharrón chicken with fried rice and fries. He is used to traditional fried rice (not fusion) and it had pieces of meat in it. He really liked the chicarrón chicken and fries. Overall huge portions, friendly service, and good food.
