Quick info
About Dragon Chinese Kitchen
Dragon Chinese Kitchen is a takeaway at 3 MacNeish Way in Glasgow, set in a modern shop with plenty of parking. The menu runs from noodle dishes to chicken mains and starters, with chow mein, sweet and sour chicken and chilli and salt spare ribs among the dishes on offer. Sides such as prawn crackers sit alongside the mains, so an order can draw on several parts of the menu at once. Chicken curry and lemon chicken round out the range of chicken dishes.

Customer Review Summary
The caveat is inconsistency. One regular says dishes differ each time, sometimes really good and sometimes below average, and notes that nuts and other allergens have turned up in dishes without being listed on the menu. Others describe the lemon sauce on the lemon chicken as disgusting, chewy beef, dry chicken balls, a very dry chow mein, and a tasteless gravy sauce. One reviewer found chicken satay full of fat with a gravy in place of satay sauce, and the promised replacement meal did not win them back. Another received chilli and salt spare ribs that were not very meaty and looked different from the website photo, with one sliver of yellow pepper and no spring onion.

“Service was quick and friendly. Shop was modern with plenty of parking. Chow mein was slightly better than average mainly due to the quality of meat but was very dry. Would not rush back but fine.”

“Ordered, for 1st time my husband meal was nice, my chicken satay was full of fat, and it was never satay sauce, it was more like a gravy, girl did say on phone she would send another meal, but it put me off, not be ordering agen, sorry...”

“Gravy Sauce is absolutely tasteless. Not a chance anyone tasted it before serving. Absolute waste of money”
- David Kelly
“Since the Jasmin Inn closed its doors, Friday nights in East Kilbride haven't quite been the same. It’s always a bit of a gamble trying to find a new "regular," but after giving The Dragon a go, the search is officially over. 🥢 Finally, a Worthy Successor! I’ll be honest, I had high standards to meet, but The Dragon absolutely nailed it on the first try. Sweet and Sour Chicken: This was the highlight. The chicken stayed perfectly crispy despite the journey home, and the sauce had that ideal balance of tang and sweetness without being overly syrupy. Chicken Curry: It’s a classic done right. The sauce was rich, aromatic, and had that authentic "proper" Chinese curry flavor that many places miss. Plenty of tender chicken and just the right amount of heat. Service: The order was ready exactly when they said it would be, and the staff were incredibly friendly—which goes a long way when you're a "newbie" in the shop. It’s never easy moving on from a local favorite, but The Dragon has definitely earned its spot as my new go-to. If you’re looking for a fresh, hot, and reliable Chinese in EK, this is the one.”
