“Me, my partner and our friend really fancied a chinese a wee while back! We hadn’t tried this place out yet, so we thought we’d give it a go. Ordered for collection and it was ready in half an hour, decent time! Order was £32 for 3 people which i thought was a good price. No parking aside from the pub next door which was difficult to get into, and the whole road was double yellows! Took us a while to be served, charged and get our food as only one staff member on, but she was really nice! I got chicken balls&chips (autism friendly) which i thought was so yummy! Apparently the chicken in black bean sauce was very sweet and not a lot of other flavour, and the sauce on the duck was not as thick as expected. Still, I enjoyed the food! I’d definitely come back… To update this review: it gave my partner the runs! Rather unfortunate… not sure if it was the food or just his biological make-up? x”

“Our go-to Chinese is Golden Dragon, and it never disappoints! The food is always delicious, the portion sizes are generous, and the staff are genuinely lovely. Our usual order includes: • Salt & chili chips • Chicken balls • Chicken chow mein • Salt & chili chicken • Smoked shredded chicken Everything is great, but I have to say the smoked shredded chicken is an absolute must-try — it’s the best we’ve ever had! Highly recommend.”
