"This flashback to a 1970s kung fu academy serves traditional HK food with a kick! Or is it a chop? Probably more of a slurp. The MO is playful—in presentation, kung fu–inspired decor ( nunchuck door handles), and the wordplay of the name (in Cantonese, the character for dragon can also mean lobster ). But the food is seriously good. Hong Kong classics with a fresh spin include lobster soup noodles—hand-pulled Lanzhou noodles in broth slow-cooked for five hours with chunks of Boston rock lobster. The barbecue char siu is popular, as arethe lobster dim sum and thePeking duck, a young bird roasted with applewood chips and served three different ways: crispy skin with raw sugarcane; meat with fresh garlic sauce; and meat and skin with pancakes."
