Coal Mine Dragon (1720 W. Uintah St.) is my favorite Chinese restaurant in Colorado Springs. And it's cheap! Tonight we had dinner for three and it came to a little over $24. That's a good deal! I'm pretty sure that every town in every country in the world has got their version of Coal Mine Dragon. I saw something on TV about that not too long ago -- there are Chinese restaurants in every country on Planet Earth. I hope they all serve that weird hot pink gooey "sweet and sour" sauce that looks like it comes in 50 gallon vats and has a half-life of 26 trillion years.
I love Coal Mine Dragon and my favorite lunchtime dish there is curried chicken. From the dinner menu it's always chicken with cashew nuts. In fact, I don't even have to tell the waiter what I want, they already know. Pat and I have been going there regularly for over a decade.
I took this picture of Coal Mine Dragon's plastic golden carp because, well, they may have great food but their decor leaves a little bit to be desired! This is the most photogenic thing in the place!

I like the fish. Too bad he's enclosed in that case. It would be fun to pet him everytime you visited the restaurant!
Lets hear it for inexpensive! I agree. Love the fish.
Well now I'm craving Chinese food.
My teeny tiny home town in W. Ks had a Chinese restaurant for awhile. Nobody thought it would do any business, because the people there had never had Chinese food before, and small town folks are notoriously averse to change.
Turns out, the food was very plentiful and very cheap, and they quickly learned to like it. A value that easily crosses cultures! haha
