About Golden Dragon
On Oxford Road, Golden Dragon is a restaurant serving a menu of 106 dishes, with spring rolls among them alongside chow mein, king prawns, chicken balls and the house special in black bean sauce. The kitchen operates in view of the dining room, so the cooking is visible from the tables. Payment is cash only, and the room takes walk-ins rather than reservations.

Customer Review Summary
Portion size and consistent value come up again and again, with several describing generous, piping hot meals and one calling a fourteen pound order enough to last two days. Close behind, specific dishes draw repeat praise: the house special with black bean sauce is singled out as the best a reviewer has tasted, while the chow mein and king prawns are named as standout flavors by others. Staff are frequently described as friendly and polite at the counter. Payment comes up as a snag for at least one visitor, who was surprised to find it cash only. The complaints are sharper: one reviewer says their entire order arrived soaked through with grease, with spring rolls and prawn toast gone soggy and had to be thrown out, and another reports a two hour wait for food with undercooked chicken balls and rice, followed by a rude response when they called to complain. A separate order was criticized for skimpy special fried rice and chips that tasted reheated.

“My daughter has just ordered from you, it has taken 2 hours for the food to come & the rice wasn’t cooked properly and the chicken balls we’re under cooked & had to go in the bin, she phoned them to let them know & got a rude woman who told …”

“Ordered special egg fried rice, curry and chips, Gravy and chips. There was nothing special about the rice unless you like peas, there was 4 king prawns, 2 chunks of chicken, 2 bits of pork 2 bits of beef. They chips were just about coated in sauce and tasted old, like they’re been reheated. I can’t comment on service or atmosphere as I just paid on collection.”
