About Katie's Sam's Dragon
On Lightburn Rd in Glasgow, Katie's Sam's Dragon is a Chinese takeaway serving the evening trade from Tuesday to Sunday, closed Mondays. The kitchen covers dishes such as crispy Szechuan beef, chicken curry, and salt and pepper shredded chicken chow mein, alongside options like ham fried rice, happy four, and special chicken. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis rather than by reservation, suiting anyone stopping by without planning ahead. Collection is the common way to order, letting customers take their meal home or elsewhere to eat. Turnaround on collection orders tends to be quick, making it a practical stop for those short on time. The format keeps things straightforward, with the focus on getting food out the door for people eating off site rather than dining in.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise tasty, hot food from a busy takeaway, with the salt and pepper shredded chicken chow mein singled out by one diner who has not found its match elsewhere. The happy four and the special chicken also earn praise, and one reviewer called the chicken curry good. Staff come up almost as often as the food, described as polite, welcoming and lovely, and several say they return regularly for collection. One family reports fresh food and clean plates all round, even from the kids. The main criticism comes from a single dissatisfied reviewer, who found the crispy Szechuan beef jelly like, neither crispy nor spicy, and had to bin it. The same reviewer called the ham in the ham fried rice extremely questionable. Others describe the food as always tasty, and one notes that collection orders are ready very quickly.
