About Golden Dragon
On Haig Ave in Scunthorpe, Golden Dragon serves as a Chinese takeaway with a menu of 138 dishes. Among the offerings are the combination plates, the 4 In 1, 5 In 1 and 6 In 1, giving diners a way to sample several items together. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservation process in place. The shop opens across all seven days of the week except Tuesdays, when it stays closed, and it runs evenings only rather than through the day. This pattern suits those looking for a Chinese meal after work or in the evening hours. The straightforward setup keeps the focus on the food itself, from the numbered combination sets to the wider range of dishes making up the full menu.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly return for the curry sauce, described by one reviewer as packed with flavour and spice, alongside the sweet and sour chicken balls singled out for good portions relative to price. Many describe generous portion sizes overall and staff who are friendly, with several regulars noting they're recognized by name when they order. Most reviews recommend the place outright, some calling it among the best Chinese takeaway in Scunthorpe. Against this, two reviewers push back sharply: one calls the food and owners bad and says they miss the previous staff, and another reports becoming ill along with their husband within hours of eating there on a Sunday evening, needing frequent bathroom stops on the drive home and saying they would not return. These complaints sit alongside a majority who report consistently good-sized portions and friendly service on repeat visits.
