“ Very Yummy! Their food has always been very good. Our family enjoys the sesame chicken and vegetable egg foo young the best. They are always fast and get your food to you quickly when you order takeout. The price is on point with other Chinese restaurants in the area - but the amount of food is much more than most other places. They also have family dinner deals that have tons of food with it. It's a tasty choice. ”
“ June 2024 Another 5 Star, 5 Thumbs Up experience at Coal Mine Dragon on Uintah. How can you beat a lunch meal for under 10 that is enough delicious food to feed 2 grown hungry adults. Our favorite for sure! March 2024 Another visit for Take Out and never are we disappointed. How can you do better for under 10 for a meal that is more than you can even eat in one sitting. The The Quck Lunch menu is huge and full of the best chinese food anywhere. 5 Thumbs Up again! This chinese restaurant is amazing. We walked in and did a take-out order at Lunch for Sweet and Sour Chicken. For under 10, it was amazing the amount of food we obtained - fast prep in under 8 minutes, fast delivery to me at the counter, and a delicious big meal at home. Courteous staff, and a clean, sanitary environment for sure. 5 Thumbs Up for Coal Mine Dragon on Uintah. ”
“ We have been going to Coal Mine Dragon since the early 90's. The food never disappoints. The staff are always kind and pleasant. The steamed dumplings and side sauce have changed and they are still delicious but not as good as they used to be. Prices are very reasonable. Best Chinese in Colorado Springs ”
“ Best Chinese food!!! We got food from here at least three or four times now and it's always perfect and delicious! We call for pick up and in 10/15 minutes everything is ready! They give you a box will all the food when you order too much! We always get a meal that comes with rice, chicken, soup, and fried wontons. Favorite soup is the wonton one. The others are ok, very thick consistency for my taste. The fried wontons or egg rolls are delicious! Chicken is always so good and fresh! The sesame chicken is a really spicy! But so good! Dumplings are delicious also! And beef on the stick was so good also, slightly sweet but so so good! Prices are supper affordable for the quantity of food you get! Please come get your food here! You'll never get disappointed! ”
“ I recieved a flyer in the mail & decided to try them out. Finding a good Chinese restaurant since moving here has been tough. Thank you for the mail out of your menu! The delivery service was on time to the quote, the delivery guy was nice & the food was Amazing!! I will be ordering again & again. ”
“ My family ate here 2X already since new management took over. The whole family love Chinese and Japanese foods. This is the right place to go. Their lunch special is only 11. You'll never find a very delicious combination plate of foods with that price. I recommend 101% for every family to dine here. The best!!!! ”
“ A beautiful, family-run restaurant just minutes from downtown and Old Colorado City. I enjoyed the Szechuan beef, egg drop soup, and a Coke. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I enjoyed it all. Excellent job! ”
