About Fat Dragon
Fat Dragon is a Chinese takeaway in Maidstone, based at Unit 4. Its set menu lets customers swap items on request, so a group can adjust the spread to suit what each person wants. The kitchen covers the familiar takeaway range, with chicken balls served with sweet and sour sauce or curry sauce for dipping, egg fried rice and beef chop suey. A mixed hors d'oeuvres platter works as a starter to share before the mains. Orders are placed by phone. Chilli oil is sold as an extra pot for anyone who wants more heat at home.

“Used to be good last 2 times of ordering the food has been very poor bland no taste no flavor at all and I mean everything the only item from the whole meal that had any flavor was the hoisin sauce which probably comes from a bottle also comparing prices to other local Chinese takeouts they are more expensive so will no longer be ordering from here”

“I bought four dishes and a rice and noodles. All the sauces tasted the same and on top. I tried to get a pot of chilli oil. They charged me £3 because they had closed the till already, something that would usually be 50p and then he didn’t even fill it up to the top I had to ask them to fill it up to the top but the food was not good. It was overly salted. I would not recommend.”

“Just moved into the area so asked a friend for a Chinese recommendation. Maybe he isn’t really our friend sending us here lol £70 of bland, tasteless rubbish. King prawns with chilli oil, was watery, no flavour whatsoever, and no chilli oil! If your advertising prawns with chilli oil then prawns and chilli oil show be the star of the show! Soups were tasteless, egg fried rice and special rice aren’t fried rices! Not an ounce of flavour and it’s like a Chinese that’s never heard of a bit of soya sauce. The rice is just boiled with a tiny bit of pale egg in it. Pork balls, small little pellets of dry pork in a greasy hard ball. Crispy chilli beef had no chilli, lacking in flavour, the beef and black bean was inedible, the beef was like old rubber, couldn’t even chew it. The only thing that was ok ish were the ribs, roasted nicely, good flavour. 4 cans of warm coke, couldn’t drink it with our meal, who wants warm coke! I thought I won’t throw it, I will revamp it for lunch today, fry it up and add stuff, I’m a good cook and there is no saving this disastrous food. The lot had to be thrown. How this place is open is beyond me.”
