Customer reviews for Dragon Fried Fish present varied opinions. One reviewer, who frequents many "hole in the wall" Chinese restaurants, suggested that this might be one to avoid. They found the food to be bland, specifically mentioning a "hot and spicy beef" dish that lacked spice, and a lunch special fried rice that consisted mainly of rice with a few vegetables. While they noted the portion size was acceptable, the overall quality was not to their satisfaction.

Conversely, another reviewer decided to try Dragon Fried Fish after hearing it was considered one of the worst-reviewed Chinese spots in Albany and documented their experience in a YouTube review. They found the interior of the restaurant to be reasonably clean, giving it a 4 out of 5 for cleanliness, with the exception of the door and the outside of the garbage. This reviewer ordered shrimp fried rice and an egg roll. The food was served quickly, was piping hot, and fresh. The reviewer gave the food a 10 out of 10, praising the generous amount of shrimp in the large, non-greasy, and crispy egg rolls. While their daughter found the rice to lack flavor (rating it 7 out of 10), the reviewer was overall very pleased with the food. They did note that the server was not particularly friendly, placing their bag on another table and asking them to retrieve it. Despite this, the reviewer's positive food experience led them to give the restaurant a solid 4-star rating, suggesting it could easily be 5 stars with improved cleanliness of the entrance area and a friendlier server.

In conclusion, Dragon Fried Fish appears to offer quick and freshly prepared food, with the shrimp fried rice and egg rolls receiving high praise from one reviewer. However, another customer found the food to be bland. Potential customers may want to consider these differing experiences, as well as the comments on cleanliness and service, when deciding whether to order from Dragon Fried Fish.
