Review from Jonny P.
3/29/2011
I saw a lot of Asian-Canadian families coming in and out of their cars while pulling into the parking. As soon as we walked in there were a lot of large tables also filled by larger families w/ babies... (great first impression)
Dragon Court Restaurant was one of my last stops on my London trip, recommend by some "MMA types who like to eat a lot" my partner in crime and I made the trip on a Sunday afternoon. After she switched tables (Twice! Seriously!?!?) one of the older ladies came over to explain the specials and how ordering worked.
Not much different that Phoenix in Chicago you just made marks on the sheet (pic to come). There was only one menu (no 'Americanized' oooops I meant 'Canadiaized') gringo friendly versions.
The food came out in waves, everything was staggered nicely. Our pot green tea was filled up once and then had the leaves changed and re-filled.
We ordered waaaay two much food for two people and it ran us under $30 Cad. (I will update this profile with profile with pics & dish descriptions)
Ended up with a lot left over, some dishes rocked others well not so much. But the staff was very good & attentive, if you're in the area I would definitely consider this as a Sunday option...Listed in: London Town (The other one)

The food is average, the service is somewhat average and business is not the greatest... But in terms of real Chinese food in London, this is one of the few places you can go to...(that is you don't order off the "Canadian-Chinese" menu). The food is generally quite oily and with lots of MSG (unfortunately, that is also typical of Chinese restaurant food...can't complain there...)
The owner takes over the waitress position as well as others...On a side note, one thing I found rather rude is the last time I was there, I was with an uncle that was white (me being Chinese), and so the owner kept pushing the Canadian-Chinese menu towards us and brought us forks and knives... I found that a bit insulting, but hilarious at the same time.
But overall the restaurant is decent if you want more or less authentic Chinese food.
