That's where Carol and I had dinner last night, it's right off the Castro St, Mountain View, serves northern Chinese cuisine. I never been there before... since I don't usually eat Chinese. Translate literately, Yulong means "jade dragon".
We ordered stir fried lamb - yep, I love lamb. This one came lightly stir fried, with a dash of black pepper, and very tender. Carol doesn't like lamb normally, but she said this one doesn't smell lamb at all, she liked it too. We also got the house made noodles - "Dan Dan Noodle"(? forgot the English name), came in a bowl(dry noodle, no soup), with finely chopped strips of cucumbers and bits of water chestnuts, and topped with tasty light and mild peanut source - you will need to mix them up a bit. We also got dumplings - Chinese cabbage and pork stuffing. Carol initially wanted shrimp dumplings, but I pointed out that northern China doesn't have a lot of seafood, Chinese cabbage and pork is more authentic - at least that's what my mom used to make anyway. It tasted much better than the ones we had in the Cupertino Village. One slight critic though, the dumplings are slightly over cooked - the dumplings skin are no longer smooth instead a lil sticky like over cooked pasta - I'm just being picky, it doesn't change the taste though. Use the dumpling sauce provided - light vinegar with chili, but it doesn't taste very hot - even I can handle it.
This place deserves a 2nd visit.
