Food has always been good & warm for pickup. Always ready within 15 minutes. The man who answers the phone realized that only one of us ordering was vegetarian and made sure to pack our orders completely separate without me even asking. I really appreciated that consideration. We also got a free order of spring rolls. Generous portions & white rice included.

Excellent food and service. We were able to be seated without a reservation on a Monday night. I ordered Sweet and Sour Pork. My husband ordered Mongolian Beef and Pork Pot Stickers. The food was so good that we ordered two more dishes to go! If we lived here instead of Las Vegas, we would become regulars.

Yelp brought me here and we were grateful. The portions are huge and the service the best in the area. Knowledgeable waiter that knows authentic Asian cuisine and attends to every detail even the packaging of leftovers with a flair for even folding the take home bag with an Origami flair . The best ambiance of Asian food in the area. So many places are take out only because they don't have waitstaff Only thing that kept one star off was the fact that the butterfly shrimp appetizer had no cocktail sauce because that would not be authentic?! Flavor of everything was great because of all the fresh made to order dishes with fresh ingredients. Price seems high but you get what you pay for! Sorry forgot the pictures. We were hungry!

The food is delicious here it's very old school, Asian, the cook is in his 70's and he takes pride in his dishes, it shows when you taste his creations, the prices are very reasonable, you will not be disappointed here.

A pretty decent place for some cheap ass Chinese. Dragon Light is one of the best restaurants in Crest Hill. It has the basic stuff. Big portions. The prices are pretty cheap for how much you get in these. I have only came here to get something for a carryout. It doesn't seem like a place you should want to dine in. This place looks like it could probably be sticky. As for the food itself it's not bad. Prices are pretty good for the big portions. General Tso's Tofu is a great option that's plant based. It's $11.25 for the only portion. This is one of the few that has the same sizes with lunch and dinner so it's all big ones for these. Full of vegetables like broccoli. This tastes pretty fresh and not like it's been reheated like at some Asian places around here. A lot of customers get carryout. If you look inside you may find out why and take it back home. They also have delivery so check if you're close enough to bring something.
