Fat Dragon Review

Reservation system should be fixed. Using Resy or Opentable would drastically help! Otherwise, our server, Cat, was amazing and the food was fast and tasted great!

Good lunch for a good price. Dinner is a bit over priced.

Loved it. Cozy yuppie type environment. Clean, quick service. Nicely prepared portions. Seating is a bit snug, but one can manage. Most importantly food was delicious.

Great food, especially like the chili dumplings and numb numb pepper steak. Wish they would find an alternative packaging to single use plastic for takeaway orders.

Food was great with huge servings! The atmosphere was very comfortable and the service was incredibly attentive. I ordered the tangerine chicken. It was super hot, fresh out of the kitchen and included lots of vegetables and mushrooms that were cooked perfectly. The sauce had a great kick too.

We just had appetizers and drinks but were treated very well. The food was great.

We had a celebration for Alex who graduated from RN school. Congrats !!! The food was AMAZING!!!

Recently went for the first time with a bunch of family. Will definitely be returning. Everything was so yummy. And the service was great considering we had a party of about 20.

The waitress was amazing. Ask for a description of the dish before you order. I didn't and what was labled as an Asian BBQ rice dish (Ancient Recipe) was simply Pork Fried Rice. Felt mislead. Didn't ask for a description 1st. Good taste, but I'd have ordered differently if I would have known. Bar staff was prompt. They were selling Kickback Mules that helped support SCAN of Greater Richmond.

You will not be disappointed by the service, food, or management at Fat Dragon. We recently held a birthday celebration in their back room and the waitress was able to handle 20 people with ease. Management was flexible with my requests, the atmosphere was energetic, and the drinks were spot-on. They made the birthday smooth and memorable.

Food was great, good beer selection. Device seemed a bit slow. Would deffinetly return.

Food was amazing, service was friendly and attentive. It's on the expensive side but the food is worth it. It was really loud, though. Not the place to go if you want to talk to the person next to you, even on a weekday afternoon.

I work close by and this restaurant consistently provides a great place to grab a meal. The beef and jalapeno fried rice is amazing. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, great beer, and wonderful craft cocktails. I've got nothing but love for this place!

My boyfriend and I went there tonight for our anniversary and when we ordered I had asked for no mushrooms in my meal and our waitress (I think it was megan I forgot) had wrote it down. When we received our meals there was mushrooms in my dish the manager immediately took it back and had them remade it. They were very nice about it an very apologetic about the messed up and gave us the meal on the house. This is my 2nd time comming there and I love it. I would recommend it to everyone.

Probably good but 30 minute wait turned into an hour wait which then turned into an hour and a half and wasn't stopping there. I understand if they're busy, but transparency is key and to just have hostesses shrug their shoulders and look powerless is not reassuring as to the overall quality of the establishment.

First time trying lunch. Definitely not as good as my dinner experiences. It's new Years Eve so maybe that's it. Service was good but the main course was a bit over cooked and a bit dry. The "box" lunc came with some type of sour artichoke dish. None who had it at our table liked it. I'll give them another chance sometime just in case this was a fluke.

Very nice atmosphere, employees, and food. overall I had a great experience.

Pretty good dinner had the numb numb beef, similar to me to Pho. Good spice and dish size. Price was reasonable. Good music. Decent drink prices. I will return.

Delicious array of mouth watering fare. Veggies cooked perfectly (read, not mushy!), tender meats, lip-numbing spiciness (if you want lol), and nothing too salty. David did a great job as our server and was just the right amount of attentive. Great measures in place for appropriate social distancing. We even managed to snag a parking spot directly out front can't wait to go back

Mehhh..might as well been carry out. Nothing special... king pow chicken in a watery sauce. 17.00 for lunch for 1. They need to up their lunch game....I should have gone with my first instinct and eaten at buzz and neds across the street.

Love the food and drinks here. One of my favorite spots. The numb numb pepper steak is so yummy. I got the calamari one time and it was delicious but the next time I got it, it wasn't nearly as good. So I guess that's hit or miss.

I love the atmosphere of this place and they have great cocktails. The food is not healthy at all, but tastes good.

Hot and sour soup seems homemade. The Huge Chinese Soup for lunch is awesome! Lunch specials are cheap and delicious! Easy walk to Movieland for dinner and a Movie!

I've only had good experiences here. The two times I didn't, I found them to be very solution based. Another time they made my order wrong, so they remade with a double order. Can be very crowded so be ready to wait.

Fantastic happy hour specials, great food and awesome staff!

Celebrated our granddaughter's 18th birthday on Sunday, food was AWESOME, server was so personable and attentive. This was our 1st time here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back.

Easily one of my favorite places to eat in Richmond. I have been here around 20 times and have never had a bad dish.

We went during happy hour. The cocktails were delicious! The chili dumplings and Mui Mui Bourbon Chicken were amazing! I hope to visit again soon!

A must try restaurant! This place won't disappoint!! I visited Fat Dragon with a girlfriend from D.C. - we were recommended by our mutual friend from RVA. We first walked in and the wait was going to be an hour but after grabbing a drink, More

Still solid food and drinks with a satisfying crowd

Food was fine, but nothing special. Some combinations of different styles didn't make sense and weren't as good as actual only Chinese food would have been.

Great restaurant
My favorite of the entire night was the calamari.... soooo gooood

Good food, great service, always a pleasant experience.

Awful I ordered enter the dragon it was raw vegetables in what look like chicken broth very bland and not worth $5 I can be reached at 982-9256 if management would like to reach me to rectify this awful experience !!!!!!!!

So i have mixed feelings about this place. The first night i went it was with two of my buddies and I tried chili dumplings for my first time. I kept going back after that so safe to say it was good-...enough. Or so i thought. On several repeat occasions the food made me sick. I could chalk that up to my own bowel problems but I have a feeling somethings up with their food every once in a while. Service is average, nothing special and the decor is honestly pretty dull. If you're looking for a place to bring a date or grab a beer and some slightly over-priced but decent Chinese food this is the place for you.

Really amazing food but the wait is out of control in the evening.

Pancit AMAZING
Fried rice SO FRESH
Spicy dumplings DELICIOUSLY MEATY
Ginger Salad has actually SPRING MIX and not cheap brown lettuce

Will be back for sure

Awesome food, awesome atmosphere, and a great place for good beer. If you love them, pop over to their sister spot, Foo Dog, for some of the best Malaysian-style coconut curry noodles you've ever had.

I love the amount of delicious food your able to receive and share in quantity! Super delicious food flavors and quality service. Always have leftovers to take home. Suggest coming at happy hour for discounts. Only issue I ve had is the noise level is so high that it s hard to speak to people.

Love this spot. Unfortunately so does everyone else. Good food, really good. Terrific cocktails mostly in the $9 range. Kids enjoy the fried rice, soups and firecracker shrimp. Mama loves the beer. Has a small side room that can comfortably hold 15. Nice for a birthday. Happy hour deals til 7 weekdays.

Great food and not too extremely priced. Gets WAY too busy on evenings later in the week or weekend but still a great spot for a drink or bite to eat.

How I've missed this place since I've been back in Richmond is beyond me. I thought I left all the good Chinese in New York but I am delighted to see I was wrong. I'm here weekly now.

Appetizers and food were awesome. Restaurant atmosphere was nice with modern look. We will definitely be back.

Awesome food and atmosphere!! Had the pepper steak, was amazing!

Amazinggggg food amazinggg staff! Especially one of the mangers Caitlin! She s is awesome! If you haven t been here it is a must! Great atmosphere! Will deff be back!!!

Food is always great, good draft choice and prices are fantastic for the amount of food you get.

Although I enjoyed the food I arrived at 940... this place closes at 11 but the kitchen closes at 10? No where is this fun fact posted and it's a pain to be rushed to order food and have all the food thrown in front of you at one time.
They should have the kitchen closing time posted like most restaurants

Get the rack of ribs if you have friends to share with, you won't regret it!

It's near my office, so I eat lunch here regularly. The food and service are consistently good, even though it's a bit crowded during the popular times (which isn't necessarily bad). Or, try grabbing some dinner here before catching a movie at the cinema that's only a block away!

The staff was super friendly and I don't think I've ever gotten my food so fast!! Keep up the great work!

Fabulous beer selection, champagne on tap, awesome menu and service. Enough said! My only complaint is sometimes finding a parking spot in the area but it's worth it once you do.

Came in and was seated immediately and not soon after I got my order take. Food was out in 5 minutes and couldn't be hapoier.

Always a good time, helps to be in the company of good friends. Drinks were pretty on point and service was quick.

Fast ,friendly ,amazing food ,and great beer selection!

No complaints. Wouldn't call this "authentic" whatever that means, but it's good food.

My parents only had one comment: "Kimchi isn't Chinese. Why is there kimchi?' haha

Great service, great food, and both times ive been , the bartenders that had to deal with how particular i am, did it with a smile... i only wish they had a place like this where i live. Make sure the kithchen isnt closed before tho, that food is on point.

I have ordered take out twice so far and there is a reason I chose the same dish and appetizer again--it's fantastic!! Love the flavors and the prices are so reasonable.

My favorite in Scott's Addition. CHEAP, big portions, and so good! Drinks are amazing as well.

Great fresh to order food. Excellent lunch specials.

Abnormal wait time when it was not busy at the time. Once seated, server was attentive and Bartender was curating the music that was playing that provided the entertainment. Had the firecracker shrimp that was good. Overall good experience.

I love this place and the staff Kat, n Justin are my favs

Food was great service was great nice place to visit.

Great food and drinks. Servers were excellent. Many choices of beers for beer lovers.

They sucked!! Not even open wth a line forming outside
