We had a great dining experience here on a Saturday night. I thought the chili dumplings, the stir fried noodles, the hot and sour soup, and the Fay Lo beef were excellent. The firecracker shrimp and the calamari were a little over breaded, actually they tasted more like tempura-battered, which was...

This place is 10 stars. Never have had a bad experience here and my husband and I visit regularly. The prices are reasonable and portions are huge. If you want great Chinese food and great drinks, you have to eat a Fat Dragon. I recommend the Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer

Good Chinese food by Richmonds standards. I have yet to find a really amazing place but so far this one takes the cake. They also have a pretty solid beer menu given that they're located in Scott's addition and have access to all the excellent breweries.

After reading other reviews I thought the food here would be spectacular. It was good but nothing out of this world. Also I envisioned it being much bigger based on the pictures I had seen but I found the restaurant to be very small with limited seating (not sure about the private rooms). I'll proba...

It is a lively place combining a large list of beers with fusion dishes based on Chinese flavors with hot spices. This is a fun place with a young friendly crowd, friendly service and loud contemporary, fast paced music. If you are looking for a fun and different kind of place you will probably love...

I m very disappointed in all the reviews I read. I got the tofu lunch box and 90 % of the tofu was so over cooked it was very similar to what I imagine chewing on a balloon would be.. the egg roll that was thrown in, was not even up to frozen quality. The one star is for the soup. I don t like kimch...

This is probably the best Chinese food that I ever had. (I am a very picky eater). The first time me and my boyfriend visit here was April 6,2019 and the second time was August 6,2019. Both times I can honestly say we had the best experience. The service was very friendly both

The good, good atmosphere, decent beer selection for the food genre. The bad, just ok service, rather aloof waitress, but attentive manager. The main reason I am giving negative review is this. I ordered bourbon chicken, not traditionally a spicy one. It was super spicy and I can usually take the he...

We have been to Fat Dragon a bunch of times and it never disapoints. The fried mushrooms are soooooo good and spicy! We had the Fei Lon Beef (my favorite), Beef basil, and Mui Mui Chicken. All of it was delicious. I brought my parents and my aunt. They don t live in Richmond and they were very plea...

meh. This place used to be awesome. On my recent visit, food was way too sweet. The sauce was thick, syrupy, and ruined the meal. The vegetables were not cut well so they were gigantic and difficult to eat. Service was friendly but very busy so not very attentive.

Fat Dragon is a restaurant I thought I wouldn't like but it's really grown on me. I haven't tried much of the menu but their appetizers are great and I LOVE their kimchi fried rice. Their happy hour is fairly typical and their bar section is tight, but it's a fun place to grab some food and drinks!

Food is perfect every time!! Highly recommended the Crispy Chicken Rolls, Chilli Dumplings, Ancient Secret BBQ Pork Fried Rice Bowl and the Asian Rib Rack. Service is always amazing, but Kat is possibly the best server in all of RVA!!! Seriously one Richmonds top restaurants!

This is a great restaurant. While not authentic Chinese food, it is good. The service was excellent and the food came out very fast. On weekends, they don t accept reservations for small parties (less than 5). Additionally, they have a good drinks menu as well.

Sorry, friends, the food here is not good. I tried on two occasions for dinner and was disappointed both times. It's a great location, the facility is nice and the service good, but much more suited for cocktails than for dinner.

One of the best happy hours in RVA. Amazing draft beer selection, couple of draft wines and great cocktail drink. We always sitting at the bar because the bartenders are always so friendly.

We got the Szechuan chicken wings and firecracker shrimp for starters. These are simply amazing. The dr...

First visit, I got the Chef Zhao's Chicken (I think that was the name), girlfriend got Numb Numb Pepper Steak. Both were good but hers was awesome!

Second visit, we both got the Pepper Steak, it was soooo good! We talked very little that night because we were just enjoying the heck out of it! ...
