Fat Dragon Chinese Kitchen And Bar

I loved the atmosphere and the food. The appetizers were great. The only reason I am giving a 4 on the food is because I didn't like the fried rice. It was more like brown rice with peas and carrots in it. I'm used to fresh made fried rice with the pork in it, onions, etc. I'd visit again and would recommend to friends.

My wife and I grew up in LA and NYC respectively and with traveling the better part of the world, we have experienced some of the best Chinese food available. Fat Dragon, in Richmond, VA fits in our high upper tier of Chinese restaurants that we have thoroughly enjoyed. The quality and flavor and unbelievably creative recipes/ingredients and unpretentious atmosphere added together to make a unique and joyous meal … but the service wrapped it all together with a bow. Austin, who was our server, was so engaging that we relaxed in a full house of patrons, guided us with excellent food profiles of plates that really interested us, joked with us and delivered the different plates timed perfectly….our comment to the restaurant was “keep him no matter what .. he is a true find”

We stopped by between our Barbenheimer double-feature and enjoyed a few fun beverages alongside a phenomenal fusion feast, all within a cool, contemporary setting that we're lucky to have so close to the cinema to hit before or after a movie. Everything we ordered was remarkable, from the apps to the entrees, which had that take-home-for-later kind of immensity they were so big. Or should I say...FAT! We didn't need any popcorn for the next flick, that's for sure. I'd suggest making reservations, as even on this Wednesday night we had to wait a bit for a table. Plus, those looking for dragons more on the magic side will be pleased with CBD options on the cocktail menu. FORTUNE: "Normal is nothing more than a cycle on a washing machine."

Great experience with friendly and accommodating hostesses. When we arrived, the only available seating was a long table directly at the entrance. Asked a hostess if we could move to a more private area and she very quickly looked for a table that had people about to leave and cleaned it up for us. Really appreciate it! Ordered the beer battered mushrooms, Chef's stir fry ramen, and ancient secret BBQ pork fried rice (great menu item name). Portions were large, my photos don't do it justice. The mushrooms were great, the stir fry ramen's flavor was a bit underwhelming, and the BBQ pork fried rice had an incredible aromatic smokiness that made it my favorite of the 3.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is absolutely fantastic. The server named Kat was attentive and kind throughout the entire experience. The dish basil beef amazing it's a delight. The bang bang shrimp is filling and delectable. The atmosphere of the restaurant is amazing and the shareable rum cocktail is great.

While visiting Richmond we tried Fat Dragon Chinese Kitchen. The service was great. My teens loved their mocktails. Everyone loved their dish. I ordered the beef basil and wonton soup. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice with kimchi and the garlic chicken. The portions were generous sized. Our food came out incredibly quick. I was able to snag one of the 1 hour parking spots nearby. You should definitely check them out.

Nice environment. Food options as well as alcohol and beer options are great. Nice crowd. Try hot n sour soup, Thai fish fillet entree, they are delicious. Only thing I didn't like is the special beer menu doesn't have price noted down, and I found out they were way too expensive compared to other beer places in Richmond. It's ok to be expensive but they could have declared the price. Otherwise all great.

This place was on the restaurant week list so we gave them a try but when we got there we were told that they were not participating. Since we were already there we decided to try them anyway. Service was fast and we had our orders quickly. Food was hot and tasty. They are worth a try and definitely worth a return trip to try out some of the other menu items. The calamari was crisp and tender, the dumplings in chilli sauce were very tasty and a little spicy, and my wife had the Ramen noodle bowl and I had enter the dragon for our entrées. A lot of food and worth the money. I would recommend going to anyone.
