Excellent Chinese food and great service. Amy and her family are the best. I've been going here since I was a little kid. If you're in Evergreen, don't miss this restaurant!
I have been eating at The Coalmine Dragon for many years, it is definitely worth the money...always delicious and constantly good. Some people think that the staff is rude, but I see it as being efficient and quick, they are all about the business of feeding us. Sometimes they just get very busy and may seem to have very short answers....don't let that stop you from going there to enjoy some great food.
Amazing food! Friendly service and traveling from Denver to there well worth the drive. My family and I will definitely be back!
We usually get take out and the food quality has been consistent for us! Compliments to the chef! The fried Cantonese noodles are wonderful as well as many other fried dishes!
I will start this review by saying that I've read some of the other reviews and there are some that say they was treated rudely. That definitely wasn't the case with me. The owner lady remembered us, and our names, even though we haven't been there for quite some time. She is very friendly and funny. The food was excellent and more than enough portion wise. I would definitely give them a thumbs up and recommend anyone to go there. Go there and tell her joe and sebastian said hello. Haha.
Super kind host late on a Monday night. Thank you for my order! The food was amazing, look forward to coming back soon My husband loved the fried rice with chicken, I had the beef lo mein.
