Quick info
About Imperial Dragon Chinese Take Away
On Maud Rd in Dorchester, Imperial Dragon Chinese Take Away serves Chinese food for collection, with no seating on site. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. The takeaway runs evenings only, opening every day of the week except Wednesdays, when it stays closed. That pattern makes it a fixed evening option for anyone in the area after dark. Customers collect their food directly from the counter rather than being served at a table, keeping the format simple and geared toward quick pickup rather than dining in.

Customer Review Summary
The negatives are sharper and recent. Several describe bland, soggy food: a set meal with watery beef and onion, a thin sweet and sour and egg fried rice that tasted of nothing, plus burnt ribs and soggy chilli beef. One delivery arrived cold and very late, and another reviewer got a meal that was cold and dried up, with a complaint about how it was handled. Others criticise high prices, including a charge for chips. One notes chicken balls made from mixed battered meats.

“Shocking food…… spent £120 on a delivery, delivered 90 mins later and food stone cold. No flavour, very bland and not fresh. Very soggy so can tell it’s all been microwaved. Save your money 💩”

“Was Best in town. Absolutely foul for the money. Worst ribs and worst chilli beef I've ever had. What happened to this place? No online menu, high prices. Soggy wet beef and burnt, tasteless few ribs. Very disappointed.”
- Jay Wilson (DJ Operationz)
“First time I have eaten food from here in a while. Food in the past was excellent. Sadly it seems standards have dropped. Hair in my chow mein, and chicken balls had a mixture of various battered meats. Wont be going back”
