Dragon Valley Napa

I’ve eaten here a few times since moving to Napa. Unless I want to really spring for Empress M which is very over priced, but top quality. Dragon Valley is my go-to. They offer vegan options. You can modify things to come without egg etc. We generally get vegetable mei fun, this time I would say it was at least 60%veg, 40% or less noodle. Good or bad depending on what you like. I was wanting a noodle dish tonight so a little disappointed. I tried their vegetable moo Shu and it was the 1st time it wasn’t served with the pancakes. Not sure if it was a mistake or they don’t do that. Also got the sweet & sour tofu which was very good. I picked up the food late so the pictures don’t look as fresh but i will be back again.

I'm waiting for my bil at dr. I'm hungry. Its lunch. Let's do chinese. Google map... Dragon Valley- YAY! Szechuan style chinese food is my favorite. I like hot oil! They don't have hot oil wontons/dumplings though.. I was kinda sad. But I got the Mongolian beef lunch plate with Chow Mein. Roughly 13$. The lobby is nice. Large. I walked Into place my order and not even ten minutes later it was done. I took pictures- FIRST SIGHT IMPRESSION- Its beautiful food. When I opened the box, I was disappointed at the light color of my chow mein. I loved seeing the red peppers, chunks of garlic and green onions. The color of the beef is caramelized perfectly. It smelled amazing. FIRST BITE IMPRESSION- I thought the beef was a bit salty .. but honestly.. it paired perfectly with the chow mein. Which was not as bland or plain as it first looked. It has bean sprouts, cabbage & green onion in abundance. The beef had at least 5 fire roast red peppers, green and white onions, large chunks of garlic compliment the tender sliced marinated beef. A better cut is used here than most chinese restaurants in the same price range- or, the chef can marinate the hell out of a bad cut... but I don't think so. It's got SPICE & HEAT! But- its tolerable. Little red pepper flakes enhance the experience. LASTING IMPRESSION- I like it a lot! I might suggest either the water not judge on a look.. or to the chef- spruce up the chow mein in appearance. Pepper flakes... a purple cabbage instead of green.. either way- the food by taste is amazing. Whenever I'm hanging out here in the City of Napa- I his is where I'll be stopping for lunch! Can't wait to try other dishes!
