One of the only chinese food places in NKY that I actually like. I love the pad thai. The place is not the most up to date but we usually just get take-out. Friday nights chinese take-out and a movie are great with Double Dragon. Not very expensive at all.

I love to support local businesses and business owners, but Double Dragon makes it hard. The food is good, no doubt. The last three times I visited this place, I've had a bad experience with the same older woman that works there. I'm not sure if she's the owner, manager, or just an employee but she is very rude. One time we walked in a full half-hour before close and she refused to let us dine in.

Two words: cheap chinese! I'd wanted to try this place for a while and finally went out one day for lunch. It's a good place for lunch - quick and cheap. I got shrimp pad thai (with no vegetables) - it was made fresh and out within 5 or 10 minutes. Hot and sour soup came with the lunch and it was good. The lunch combo was only $5-6. The furniture is probably from the late 70s, but it worked. The service depends on who you get... I agree with another review - the older woman is not the friendliest, but the younger staff seems nice and all are quick. It passes health inspections... so it must be safe to eat, but don't go here for a date, unless your date requested a chinese dive.

If there was a barfing emoji I would use it right now. Order delivery because if you pick it up you'll walk in and walk right out without getting food once you realize how old and dirty the environment is. At lease the lady that works the register is nice.

Most people wouldn't be so foolhardy as to eat in a restaurant this dilapidated. If this hadn't been my grandmother's recommendation, I wouldn't have ventured here for lunch either, but I kept an open mind. See, several years ago, Double Dragon was part of our family's weekly after-church ritual. The food was good and the decor charming. However, by the looks of the exterior, the owners haven't invested a dime in maintenance since my last visit over five years ago. Inside, things only got worse. The once endearing wall paper was peeling, the salt and pepper shakers grimy, high chair cracked, light fixtures tacky, and bathroom mildewy. All I could think was "If this is what they allow the customers to see, I can't image what the kitchen is like." I held my tongue, knowing that this had always been one of Grandma's favorite Chinese restaurants. I ordered Hong Kong Chicken because it was deep-fried and less likely to cause serious health problems. For a meager $5.50, the entree came with soup and eggroll. The egg-drop soup was inedible, but the egg roll wasn't half bad. My Hong Kong Chicken was decent, but I just couldn't enjoy my meal in such depressing surroundings. Next time, when it comes to dining at a shady establishment, I'll listen to my gut rather than have it grumble at me later.

While the atmosphere is not the highlight, the food is decent as far as cheap lunches go. The recommended garlic/pepper spicy dish was very nice.

The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.
