I was born and raised in Taiwan, so I have to give Dragon Tea an unreserved thumbs up Many dishes are completely authentic to the hometown taste -- esp the dumplings, noodles, and the fried chicken. They may not be showstoppers, but they are definitely comfort food! Top recommendations: Popcorn Chicken (with essential basil), Sesame Noodles (includes peanut paste), and any Dumplings (boiled or fried, they are super juicy) My only complaint: DT needs proper soup spoons!! I can't believe we were served beef noodles with a regular tea spoon.

I ordered the rice noodle soup. It taste So good. I was surprised by this amazing taste. There are some fish balls in the soup too. Great taste. The rice noodle is always my favourite. Very good experience. Will come and try more good next time. The place is clean and well protected for COVID. Very safety.

Dang this is some fire drinks and snacks. Park in the spring lot for the apartment complex behind this building. The tea is hella good (I rarely review boba shops but I am for this one). You can tell they use real fruits! The popcorn chicken and the chicken cutlets are fireeeeee. They come out so hot and juicy and also crispy. Wow. We ordered a bunch of snacks cause couldn't resist the allure of this Taiwanese store. Thank you!

Found them based on Google review (and thank you Google) Was surprised to find an authentic homey Taiwanese restaurant in Honolulu. Dumplings were freshly made (not the frozen kind). Minced Pork Rice was delicious and my husband also enjoyed the beef noodle soup as well. Owner is super friendly and attentive.

Tasty brown sugar milk tea with BROWN SUGAR JELLY! Never had this type of jelly before! Also highly recommend the popcorn chicken. Very close to the airport, decided to get a mini snack before we headed to our hotel!

We are definitely OBSESSED with Dragon tea's grape green tea with aloe. And then we found out about recently updated original Taiwanese snacks/food, such as the egg pancakes, fried chicken with basil leaves, and beef noodles. We have been their fan since it was at the previous locations for years. The new location is very convenient to access with massive parking spots. The grape green is a must try. It's blended with fresh grapes which is healthier than others, and aloe is a must add to the tea. It's a nice place to chill or enjoy some food. Service is great!
