Low Risk NYC Grade: A

China Dragon appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Aug 21, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

Things are looking better: the most recent inspection turned up three violations, compared to four violations previously.

The most common issue across all inspections has been evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food, showing up three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Brooklyn restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
