Overview
New Dragon Star, now serving at 670 E 233rd St in the Bronx, is the kind of neighborhood Chinese takeout spot that earns real loyalty over time. I’d describe it as a dependable local favorite with the sort of reputation that comes from consistently satisfying people who keep coming back year after year. One of the things that stands out most is how often the food is described as genuinely delicious, with the kind of freshness that makes even a 45-minute delivery feel worthwhile. In fact, that slightly longer wait can come across as a good sign here, suggesting dishes are being prepared fresh rather than rushed out the door. The restaurant has clearly built a strong connection with the community, including guests who have been ordering from here since moving into the area more than a decade ago. That kind of staying power says a lot in a busy New York neighborhood where takeout options are everywhere and people quickly settle on the places they trust most. New Dragon Star also showed resilience after a fire forced a change, reopening at its current nearby location while the old White Plains Road spot remained closed. That move did not seem to break its bond with longtime customers, which speaks to the strength of its food and neighborhood presence. There was mention of a brief rough patch with phone-order service during 2024, but later experiences suggested that issue had been resolved and things had returned to normal, which is reassuring for anyone planning to call in an order. What comes through most clearly is a restaurant known for flavorful food, reliable appeal, and the kind of local familiarity that makes it part of the routine for many people in the area, whether they are grabbing takeout, placing a delivery order, or sticking with a place they have trusted for years.

The food is delicious.. only issue I have is when you order takeout and the guy delivers to your home he demands a tip outta your money, not even giving yu yur change, not knowing whether your going to give him or not and that's very rude.it says free delivery with a minimum of $8 it says nutn more about tipping.

I ordered delivery, the delivery service took about 45 mins but not complaining that usually means it’s being made fresh. The food was so delicious I had already started eating it before I took the picture lmfaooo!! But definitely recommend 10/10

Been coming here since I moved to the area in 2013. Food is amazing. They had a fire a few months ago but reopened in a different location nearby (670 E 233rd St). The WhitePlains Road location is still closed Edit!: Tried to call in my order for delivery (on July 21st, 2024 / 9pm…a small Broccoli and rice), the lady said $20 , then hung up… I called back, the lady sounded annoyed then gave me another random price. Looks like I’ll have to find another restaurant. Edit: - November 2024. Seems the lady who last took my order doesn’t work there anymore. All is well and back to normal.

Food is good but not the best I've had, the place is a bit small. When the lines are long it look crowded. At time if you want to dine in you might not be able to because of limited space and seating....

I had to write this review because I was shocked by a lot of poor reviews that I saw. I’ve been going to this place for five years, they are extremely friendly, social, and clean. The food is so amazing that even though I moved out of the Bronx I commute just because it’s that good. Definitely the best in the Bronx hands down

Delivery service was less than expected and the rib tips with the pork fried rice was delicious and I will order again! I’m a patient and was able to tip delivery man due I didn’t have enough but I got him next time with extra
