Some dishes are so ubiquitous and common, that almost every restaurant serves them, but few get it just right. Take beef noodle soup or beef rolls for example. I've had some good ones, and there are ones that are just awful. Mr. Dragon has managed to nail it.
It's located in an oddly shaped strip mall where parking is constantly a challenge. The angles and many amateur drivers who stop and block traffic makes coming here an experience. But once you get the food, it's worth it.
I always order what they're known for:
Popcorn chicken, a generous serving of hot and crispy chicken sprinkled with their seasoning. Even 'mild' packs a bunch of flavor. These should be eaten fresh. Their beef roll is in a perfectly wrapped shell. It's slightly flaky but soft enough to bite through easily and won't fall apart. The light sweet sauce pairs well with the thinly sliced beef.
One of my favorite food is beef noodle soup, and Mr. Dragon makes the perfect bowl. The beef is consistently tender and falls apart by its own weight. The broth is nicely seasoned, has flavor but not too salty.
Mr. Dragon is a great comfort food spot. So far, everything I've tried here has been great. Although you're not likely to get super friendly , personable service, they're efficient and are able to keep up with the constant turnover of the busy dining room.
Tips: Do Yelp waitlist when you're almost there, it'll cut down in the wait time. Better yet, don't come during rush hours.
Look for parking on the streets, outside of the parking lot to cut down in your steer level. Let's be honest, there are a lot of lousy drivers in the SGV.
