Dragon Fort Abbotsford
🐉 Dragon Fort is one of those old-school Abbotsford restaurants that generations of locals simply know.
Tucked just outside Historic Downtown on Pauline Street, the longtime Chinese restaurant has built its following on an enormous menu, generous portions and the kind of family-style meals made for covering the table with dishes and sharing everything. Alongside familiar favourites like Ginger Beef, Beef & Broccoli, curry chicken and overflowing combination plates, the menu ventures much deeper into Cantonese cooking with Peking duck, seafood, hot pots, sizzling platters and dim sum. Some customers have been returning for well over a decade, while others still make Dragon Fort a regular stop whenever they pass through Abbotsford. It’s big, traditional and unapologetically old-school; the kind of Chinese restaurant where ordering too much and leaving with containers of leftovers is practically part of the experience.
