About The Golden Dragon
The Golden Dragon is a Chinese takeaway in Glasgow, found at 5 Crookston Rd. Its menu is the Chinese takeaway kind, with king prawn curry and spicy wings both cooked in the wok. Chicken fried rice is also on the menu, and a curry order can come with rice. Payment is cash only, which means customers should bring cash with them instead of a card, and that applies to every order.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken curry and curry sauce draw the most praise, with long-time regulars calling the chicken curry the best they know and the curry sauce the best they have had. Fried rice is described as flavoursome and pancake rolls as fresh. One reviewer praises spicy wings cooked in the wok with fresh onions and chilli, plus a king prawn curry ordered extra hot, and another describes generous portions and a bag of chicken balls that came with a family order. Opinion splits sharply beyond that. Two reviewers call the ribs hard, chewy and full of fat. Others report fried rice drowned in grease, a chicken curry with more onion than chicken, rubbery chicken, and a chicken satay that did not seem to be chicken. One diner found the black bean mussels small and defrosted, and another received an order missing two items. One mixed review sums up the divide, finding the chicken curry lovely while the ribs were hard and chewy.

“I haven't used any take away for years. This place holds a very special place in my heart ❤️ as we used it most weekends. I took a chance and ordered my favourites despite some of the reviews being old and very sketchy... I ordered my my favourite spicy wings which are not the usual frozen crap they are cooked in the wok with fresh onions and chilli. I asked for them extra crispy as I always did for me. They did not disappoint very fresh and full of flavour most important not nobbly bits but actual proper wings. Delicious 😋 and I will be back. I also got my king prawn curry extra hot and again fabulous. I see negative posts about not using delivery sites I think this is a massive plus point to support local businesses and not getting delivered the same old frozen crap again and again. So thanks 🙏 I will be back .....”

“avoiding paying tax by being cash only. I pay my tax for you know hospitals and roads. So should you. The food was also very mid.”

“Yeah not the best place to be fair, dropped in as was driving by thought why not…. Food was just edible, chicken fried rice (if you could call it that) was drowned in grease, chicken curry (more curry and onion than actual chicken) and the price… you expect more for your money. Also they (like a lot of Chinese takeaways) they insist on cash only…..”
