    Best Chinese I've ever eaten

    The food is so good we went there twice in our short stay in Arusha. Get a variety of dishes and share, they are all so good. Honey chicken and Lemon Soy Shrimp were fantastic. Only downside is that it is cash only.

    Excellent Chinese Food

    The Chinese Dragon Restaurant is situated in a lush area of Arusha next to the Gymkana golf club. The Chinese owners produce excellent Chinese food. The service is friendly and fast. Some writers on this forum seem to think that the food is microwaved because...More

    Shredded pork with chili and basil

    Had a decent Chinese meal here. The best dish by far was the shredded pork with fresh chili and basil (although the basil seemed more like cilantro to me but I like both so can't complain). The fried shrimp appetizer was also quite good. The...More

    Great Food - A bit pricey

    Had a wonderful dinner here, every plate tasted completely different! Large portions and tasty, but the prices are quite high for Arusha, some local food options are much much cheaper.

    Good food, generous portions

    The restaurant has great Chinese food at affordable prices. It is well off the beaten path - right next to the Arusha Gymkhana; not easily accessible by public transport. International guests should know that they don't take any credit cards; only cash. International currencies e.g....More

    Worst dinner ever - AVOID

    Microwaved food, greasy prawn crackers and waiters who stand and stare at you made for the worst dinner I've had. The food arrived before the drinks and so there is no way it was fresh as meat couldn't have been cooked so quickly. The owner...More
