Quick info
About Dragon Inn
Dragon Inn is a Chinese takeaway on Blackpool Road in Preston, set up for collection and delivery rather than sit-down meals. The kitchen covers the familiar Chinese takeaway range, with Singapore chow mein, salt and pepper chips, and barbecue spare ribs on the menu alongside curry and chips and special chow mein. Orders go through the counter, and payment is by cash for smaller orders, with cards accepted on orders over £15. A wait is common at peak times, and there is no on-site parking, though a free cash machine sits across the road. Delivery reaches the surrounding streets.

Customer Review Summary
The negatives are specific. One reviewer found the chicken overcooked and rubbery after a long wait. Another says the quality and quantity of ingredients has dropped over the past year or two. A gluten-free customer reports that the batter was left on the salt and pepper chicken despite being flagged twice by phone. One diner also says they had to go up and remind staff, who were on their phones, about two drinks they had ordered and paid for.

“Quality and quantity of ingredient has lowered over the past year or two. Used to be my regular. Have now changed.”

“Great food there last night, our regular Chinese was shut, I won't say which one but new dragon was better by a fair bit, singapore chow mein was spot on, the salt and pepper chips were like nothing I'd had from a chinese, very garlicky but lovely, and my son couldn't fault his barbecue spare ribs, tons of sauce and really meaty, definitely be trying there again”
- Matt Prescott

- Emily Knight
“Really enjoy my food from here - special chow mein is tasty, generous and the veg is nice and crunchy. Prawn toast is what you would want from it - customer service really lovely too. Cash machine across the road which is free. I remember coming here as a teenager 20 years ago, and after returning to preston after a long time I am glad it is still here!”
