Customer Review Summary
Spring rolls are the item reviewers raise most, and they split sharply. Happy customers describe them as crispy outside and soft inside, and two mention complimentary ones arriving with the order, alongside delicious, tasty dishes, generous portions that arrived hot, and a friendly, polite driver. Others describe the opposite: spring rolls that were stale and burnt, or soggy and cold, with chips that were cold and hard. Delivery is the other recurring complaint. Orders arrived far later than the quoted time, one never arrived while the phone went straight to voicemail, and one driver would not come to the door. Individual dishes drew criticism too. Salt and pepper chicken was called tasteless and served with frozen chips, and an order of chips and gravy turned out to be a few chips in a big tub of gravy. One customer who asked for a refund after receiving a burnt tasting curry sauce was handed back an open, half-full can of drink.

“Usually, the food is great and served with care whilst having fast delivery. In this case, we ordered our food in which contained chicken balls, spring rolls and fries. The first order we received was missing these items which led us to calling Golden Dragon. We then called golden dragon in which they gave us our food, but this is where the problem starts. The spring rolls we received were clearly left out and was not made freshly, hence to why they were stale whilst also being burnt. Not only that, but the fries that we received in our first order was cold and hard when it arrived. I was highly disappointed to receive this order as we have ordered from this place multiple times in the past and never had problems like this – making it seem like this order was made with not their usual care.”

“I ordered from here for the first time and had a really good experience! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and everything arrived hot. The spring rolls were crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the other dishes were also really tasty and authentic. The packaging was good and nothing was spilled. The prices are reasonable too. I’ll definitely order from here again. Highly recommended!”

“Disgusting experience! Delivery was over an hour late. Driver refused to come to the door, I had to go out to his across the car park 30 yards away! Food was cold and tasteless! They shut the deliveroo system down before i had chance to give a bad review. Refunded £2.36. Ruined my appetite and my friday night! Avoid at all costs. I never give bad reviews but the attitude was terrible from staff and driver. This will be going on every review app possible too.”

“Edited to add. Order number was 6074400 and we did order direct from your website. Having been regular customers here, or last order has been incredibly disappointing to the point where we won't return. The food took 1.5 hours to be delivered, having stated 50 mins delivery. I called after 70 mins to check in and they simply stated it will be there soon the driver is out, without asking which order I was asking about. When it arrived, spring rolls and chips were soggy and cold and the sausages were shrivelled up and unappetising. I will no longer be recommending.”
