Double Dragon Cantonese Restaurant in Blaby

The new prices are far too expensive for us to order from here on a regular basis. It's a shame as we were regular customers but the recent price increase will see us seek an alternative.

Order placed at 17:55 we were told it would be within the hour, which was fine as busy usually means popular for a reason... Just before the 2 hour point, we called to chase up our order. The word "sorry" was very briefly mentioned, just... but without any shred of sincerity or empathya and with no explanation as to why - not good customer service. 2 hours and 20 minutes after the order was placed , the food did arrive but was barely warm, the chicken in particular was cold. I can forgive an unexpected busy night but not lack of value to customers. Business must be good to be so flippant about customers waiting over 2 hours for food promised within the hour. It's a shame because the food seemed like it could have been really good.

Fantastic take away food, and at a reasonable price. Always very friendly and quick.

5 star food hygiene rating and always use this takeaway.

Ordered a takeaway. Told 1hr for collection. Got there another 20mins. Went back another 10mins which turned into 20mins. Another takeaway taking more orders than they can handle. Shoddy.

A bit chilly inside and very basic but the food was delicious

Never had a bad meal yet, couldn’t recommend them enough

The chilli in the Salt and chilly chips is hot 🔥 🥵

Food was at best warm completely tasteless will never go back avoid like the plague only drove five minutes around the corner and cold

First visit to this restaurant, small little place, looks like someone's front room. Staff very nice, food was lovely, lovely and hot, definitely would recommend

Nice staff, but the food was very average at best. Woke up dehydrated they food had far to much salt in it Very over priced for what you get

This Chinese is brilliant but the crispy chips that are too crispy are such a let down, they are so over fried my son can’t eat them, this is every-time I order they are the same. I will be taking my business elsewhere

Ordered a take away on Sunday 3rd July 2022. Ordered at 17.30 meal arrived 19.00hrs, the meal was cold the crispy chicken was not crispy, a total let down Would think twice before we order again Dissapointing as it used to be a good place to order a take away from.

Had our first Takeaway from Double Dragon tonight. I can fully recommend giving them a try. Food was Amazing, piping hot and very very Tasty.

Tried this place for the very first time last week Best Chinese food we've had in a long time. Keep up the good work.

Another delicious meal piping hot and very tasty. Would definitely recommend.

This is my go to place for Chinese food and is easily the best in the area. All food is fresh and tasty and the staff are lovely. I honestly can't recommend this place enough!

Was nice , good faatservice and food was lovely

Decided to eat in the restaurant to save washing up, at which point they doubled the price!! What a dump, doesn’t even look like a restaurant, crap service, £81 for 2 adults one teenager. Awful.

Best Chinese in our area in my opinion. Yes sometimes you might need to wait a bit for delivery but it's so busy because it's so good.

Having ordered a Sweet and sour Cantonese style takeaway. I had to knock on the door and wait for some one to answer. A couple of minutes later asked for my name and door closed in front of me. No access to customers here. Another five minutes later, out in the cold , handed my meal. This obviously had been made on the hop, as the sweet and sour sauce certainly wasn't the Cantonese sauce. The peppers and onions had been dropped in at the last minute and were still raw. I subsequently found out about their 1 in 5 hygiene standard. I won't be going back there

Had a meal delivered was very disappointed the meal was cold on arrival & we had to warm it up so we could eat it there was no apology at all.

Stay clear! Listen to the 1star reviews! They are here for a reason! Delivery arrive wrong order, called to notify lady was completely unsympathetic told next it will be right. Also rice was mushy and cold chips refried!

Best Chinese place, love the food and always have really good services.

Nice place, delicious food, dine in experience is lacking though.

Top notch Chinese food the best in the area

They always take their customers feedback seriously and make their best to deliver their best. Atleast that's what I have experienced from past 4 years. Lovely staff.

Nice food can't fault it every time I've had it.

Hands down one of the best Chinese takeaways I have had

Great food the best restaurant in Leicester- all the food is so fresh and all the staff are so friendly

Love the staff, their knowledge about each and every dish helps a lot to a person who has allergies. Love their service as a take away customer. Always friendly. Their in house dining prices are expensive when compared to the same dish that we usually take away

Had a nice meal last night but chilli salted spare ribs were disappointing only 3 and half ribs in total 😔 feel a bit short changed tbh foods lovely though

The home delivery service is very good from the team at double dragon they keep there distance & deliver quality food well done to them.

Been one of my favourite Chinese restaurants for years. Never anything less than superb, in my experience.

For a place with such low food hygiene I didn't die & it all tasted quite good!

Always quality food here and our takeaway of choice when eating Chinese. Always plenty and extensive menu.

Had a great meal here with family and friends for our sons 40th birthday

Fabulous food, plenty of it and the very attentive staff coped with our large party amazing well. Thank you.

Very good food freshly cooked, excellent service. Party of 6 Monday night

Solo visit (on business) to this, ‘off the beaten track’ restaurant. Pleasant and accommodating staff in a quaint, but friendly, setting. An abundance of tables with ‘spinney’ things in their centre which is great if there are many of you sharing your choices. Crab & sweetcorn soup for starters was both plentiful and good, but piping hot which made it initially hard to eat. King Prawns (8 off)with garlic and black beans on a sizzling platter with crunchy red and green peppers and fried rice were very good. Small forks, small plates (you’ll see what I mean if you visit here) with big taste is a winning combination. Well worth finding if you can!

1.This place seriously needs decorating cobwebs & dust everywhere. 2. Overpriced for the basic food you receive. 3. They have a vent that blows cold all over you and your food. 4. Cutlery was dirty. Wont be returning. 5. Staff was friendly enough.

Quite in the week.. food was lovely.. we ordered the banquet.. far too much for us.. the food was really hot.. makes a change to wait for it to cool before you can eat it

Taken by my daughter who lives nearby. What a hidden gem. Beautiful food, massive portions and excellent service. Will be back very soon!

I have never eaten in house but always use for takeaway despite it being a 5 mile round drive. There is a local takeaway within walking distance but Double Dragon is much better.

Recommended by a friend. Good customer service and really good food.

Love it here, always great food and great service.

Excellent value for money. Very friendly staff

Nice meal except for price of chips £3.90 a portion well approx 24 chips On a t.plate some weren't edible scratchings.food was nice very expensive and the decor leaces a lot to be desired .

Great food one of the best Chinese cuisines in the area and great customer service. Great flavour

Great food best Chinese in Leicestershire usually comes really hot occasionally comes warm

Staff are excellent, and the food is delicious! If you're looking for a place to go with a quiet, cosy atmosphere then this is the place for you.

Best Chinese place I've ever been to. As a veggie I find there's not a lot of choice or the flavour isn't there but this place never fail. I love it and would 100% recommend.

Since they stopped Sunday night buffet it is very expensive. Very quiet atmosphere

A little bit pricier than the takeaways in South Wigston, standard is good though. House special curry very tasty, sauce not too hot but plenty of flavour. Chips are good, and popular with my kids, as is the chicken fried rice with my wife.

Nice food and nice atmosphere... beer isnt the best but all in all good place to eat

Average place with average food. The food is hit and miss. Nothing special. The place needs updating. It’s been like this for years and years. There’s no atmosphere.

RESTAURANT QUALITY TAKE AWAY FOOD

Lovely hidden treasure in the middle of blaby with beautiful food

Really good food again. A group of7 of us again trying another wide selection of dishes for a change. We effectively ordered meals for 5 but it was still way too much for us all to eat, but we did as it was so tasty. Nice wine too and service good too. It is becoming a regular haunt for birthday meals out.

Went to this restaurant this evening service absolutely appalling went for special family occasion. It took an hour for starters to arrive and when it did was missing pancakes for duck. Asked waitress if we could have a main dish for our kids who were starving at this point plate of noodles arrived and that was it. No apologies just an explanation a chef was off sick carry out service was ringing all night whilst we were there and cleArly taking priority over restaurant clients this place needs to decide if it is restaurant or take away and stick to one. We left after one course as waiting too long they were still taking poor unsuspecting clients into restaurant!!!! Greedy ridiculous state of affairs highly unrecommended!!!! Worst Chinese restaurant we have ever been too!!!!

Only use the Resturant a handful of times a year but are never disappointed. We had the the diamond banquet for 4 people and everything was brilliant and plentiful. The highlight being the duck pancakes as always. Staff are always friendly and helpful.

Lovely food and great service. Very polite and helpful staff.

Not sure what's going on here? Where is the consistency? Some times you get a take away and it's amazing. Other times it's gross. I've not eaten in the restaurant for a while, but I like to get a takeaway or a delivery about once every six weeks. The latest takeaway made me write this review. Food was late. It wasn't even delivered, I went and picked it up, and it was late! Parts of the meal were red hot, and others were barely warm. Makes for an unpleasant eating experience. They do tofu on the menu, but don't do a tofu chow mein, because "they don't mix them things". What a weird thing to say to a customer that wants to give you money. I'll be back because I'm a degenerate, but I really should try somewhere new.

I have been frequenting this establishment for a good number of years now, and it pains me to say that on my last couple of visits here it seems to be on a decline.

Great meal friendly helpful staff.

We had a lovely evening and food was great.

Don't understand the negative reviews , we were a party of 9 and everyone enjoyed the wide variety that we all tucked into. Service was faultless and quality was superb.

Fantastic chimese restaurant have been several times in the evenings grat to take people to good for special occasions would definitely reccomend

Been using Double Dragon Chinese for some time now and sometimes the food is really good and sometimes it is ok but tonight, it was vile. Not only did it take time to get through to them but when we were eating it, the chicken was cold and the chips smelt like s**t!! Not good at all

4 of us went for a meal Monday evening....only ones in the restaurant! Food was nice but everything seems a little dated in there from the tatty menus to the plastic tablecloths. The restaurant was cold....no radiators on. Seemed to be only one person taking the orders, serving the food and answering the phone for take-away. Waitress was slow to notice we had finished eating and never came back to offer desserts (however i'm unsure if the Cantonese are big on desserts) and didn't return to ask us at any point if the food was ok. After half an hour we eventually had to ask for the bill. Probably best as a take-away service although reading some of the other reviews this may take a while!

The foods nice however the delivery is always significantly later than promised the final straw was an order taking 2:30 mins to arrive. I rang and didn’t even receive an apology!

First time I've been tonight for my daughters birthday... Definite A*service ..food was good..advice to anyone having the set meals a meal for 2 could actually feed 3/4 people. 😊..i'd definitely go again 👍

We booked a table for a Saturday evening. The restaurant was quite quiet and we were seated quickly. The staff were pleasant - sticky plastic table cloths were not. We ordered the platinum set menu and I have to say that the starters and Peking duck were lovely. However our main course did not appear before we finally gave up and left. They are obviously so busy on a Saturday with takeaway orders that the restaurant is way down the bottom of the list. They need to decide their priorities but the restaurant is definitely second fiddle both in service and ambience.

shocking I Mean shocking telephone communication , she was so abrupt .I wont use these again .

I must say the take out we had at home was first class it was just like being in the restaurant it's self.

Ordered some food for delivery in a quiet Sunday evening. Told will be an hour to start with which was pushing it. No sign of any food so called. Didn't understand what the lady was talking about but said will be another half hour.

Poor food very expensive not a place to go

I tend to get takeaway from here, though the resturant is just a good. Great food and nice friendly staff. Always happy to change a dish is you don't like certain meat or veg or offer a different sauce. They have a small bar area so you can have a drink while you wait for your food to be cooked. There is a large carpark located right next to the restaurant so parking isn't a problem either.

Take-away and restaurant. Good food and friendly staff.

Nice food, low on grease, staff informed about allergens, lovely clean loo too.

Well went to the restaurant for a meal & at first were a little put back as the restaurant was a little low key with plastic table clothes on the tables & wot look like school chairs however the staff were great friendly & funney + great service but the main excitement was the food great test & plenty of it . Well delivered as well.

Food is gross no taset what's so ever. I'm never eating from there again

The food is amazing and fairly priced considering the quality. The crunch is fantastic!

always good food and friendly staff

A very enjoyable evening. Food was amazing & very good portions. Service was good & staff very polite

Best takeaway and restaurant in Blaby love there food good value for money and very friendly alway created with a smile and nothing is to much trouble for the staff

Disfrutamos de un banquete en el restaurante el sábado 27 de mayo de 2017, ya que el hotel nos alojamos en no tener un restaurante operativo el sábado por la noche. Nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos de entrar por la puerta. Opción de menú era bueno...

Fantastic food always, not cheap but not expensive. My favourite Chinese in Leicester

Decent but not amazing or anything

Comimos aquí sobre una base regular, no para la suspensión del lugar, es cutre y necesita una redecoración completa! Pero la comida es de buena calidad, pero ten cuidado si su tener un plato para dos? Tratan de servir una porción para compartir, que no...

We ordered beef chow mein, chicken sweet and sour balls, lemon chicken and 1/4 crispy duck. Not one complaint there was more than enough food and and although it was affordable it was the best Cantonese we have ever had. Well worth the money! They also said it would be ready for 7.30 and it was. We have dined in and had takeaway and the quality of the food is the same no matter what.

Me enteré de este lugar y estaba emocionado de visitar porque no hay muchos restaurantes chinos (un montón de comida para llevar) alrededor de Leicestershire. El lugar es pequeño y muy bien decorado, así es acogedora. Fuimos a la comida para dos que incluía pan...

we eat here on a regular basis, only for the food which is always good, but the service could be better, one lady who always seems to serve us? has no personality bordering on rude, the restaurant needs updating it looks very dowdy and worn out, also when ordering as a foursome they seem to try and cut back on quantity, as they are not a cheap place to eat, thats not on.......its a shame because the food is always good ,could easily be 4/5 star

The food here is a really good standard. I tend to use it as a takeaway however as the resturant could do with a decorate. However as the food is excellent tuck in and dont look at the wallpaper. You won't be disappointed with the food I promise.

Not been for a while, only went because DBA was full, should have waited.The food is ok, just, it's a little bland and heaped with vegetables. When you look at what you actually get it's not worth the money.The service is ok but the place is tatty and dull.I had to ask for chopsticks and soy sauce, they should be on the table, the prawn crackers were a bit stale.Sorry guys but for the money and surroundings it's too much.Will go to DBA next time.

Beautiful food but i suggest going on a sunday for the all u can eat..its £12.99 and everything is cooked and bought to your table, can get expensive throughout the week

Yum yum yum. Love all the food we ever get from here. Its absolutely delicious. We are always welcomed if we collect. Highly recommend.

This place is pretending to be something it is not. Poorly frequented, so it gives you an idea of what the locals think. Poor access, as well. Overpriced and not recommended.
