About Red Dragon
Red Dragon is a Chinese takeaway in Glossop, on Victoria St at number 9, open daily and only in the evenings. The menu pairs classic Chinese takeaway dishes with a Beef Massaman curry, so one order can cover two directions. Salt and pepper prawns and shredded crispy chicken also appear among the dishes, and chips and seaweed are available alongside them. Veggie and vegan options are on the menu for anyone avoiding meat.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews lean critical, and the beef Massaman curry is the dish raised most. Two diners call it gloopy, bland and inedible, one noting a taste of washing up liquid. That reviewer says a refund came only after the owner at first refused, and was then told not to come back. Cold or reheated food recurs close behind: vermicelli cold in the middle as if microwaved as a lump, rubbery reheated dishes, warm drinks, and a delivery that arrived barely warm. Others fault the shredded crispy chicken as soggy and leathery, salt and pepper prawn batter that nearly broke a tooth, inedible chips, and dishes heavy on onion with little meat. One customer says they were treated as a liar when a beef item was missing, and another was refused delivery despite living within the stated range. Positives are fewer: a few praise the friendly owners, the veggie and vegan options and delicious food, with one wishing the spicy dishes were spicier. Two customers of many years say they will not order again.

“no complains, great veggie / vegan options and amazing service”
- Tamsen Berry
“I have eaten the food from here and it was lovely however, their website says that they deliver up to 4.5 miles away, and they charge you for it, yet they won't deliver to me because I live 1.5 miles away, and were really abrupt when they called me to cancel my order. Not impressed.”

“Ordered Chinese food from here many times over the years and it’s always been decent. Decided to try something different, the beef Massaman curry. What I received was inedible slop that didn’t resemble a Massaman curry in any way shape or form. I didn’t realise until after that there’s another review on here saying the same thing. Don’t offer things on your menu that you don’t know how to make. It was diabolical and went straight in the bin.”

“Always delicious and the owners are very friendly. Only small gripe is I wish their spicy options were spicier but otherwise a great Chinese”

“Food was reheated and tasted reheated. Rubbery and cold . £36 for awful food .”
