Dragon Chinese Kitchen in South Lanarkshire

The food was made fast and the portion sizes were really decent and it was best the Chinese food ever.

It was lovely to have a meal from here I really enjoyed it 😀

Ordered through just eat, waited over two hours, contacted restaurant after time due had elapsed… to be put on hold for 7 mins, while counter girl served other people, then to be told the printer didn’t have the order.

I ordered a delivery meal it was delicious and great value for money it was also lovely to receive the prawn crackers and fortune cookies as a little extra, the delivery driver was very nice and friendly, I would definitely order from this restaurant again.

Nice Chinese first time trying only downside was cash only, don’t think 10% discount was taken off as advertised on the menu

Just had best Chinese curry I’ve ever eaten. I asked for my chicken curry to be Spicy and was not disappointed. Chips were lovely too.

So have ordered from here a few times and I honestly can’t make my mind up as some times the food is really good and other times it’s below average. I’m unsure if they have changed their kitchen staff a few times or if it’s the same people but the dishes you order are so different ever time that you never really get the same dish even if ordering the same thing. I would also so to anyone who has allergies to be very careful. A few times we’ve ordered dishes they have turned up with nuts or other allergens in them that don’t show on their menu

One of the best Chinese in ek and theres tough competition for the title so thats not a throw away comment, salt and chilli chips are amazing, usually get a variety of classic stuff and it's always great quality, not too greasy and nice flavour, the gravy is the best iv ever had from a Chinese. Ribs are good, never fatty. Chow mein and chicken fried rice very good as is the sweet and sour. Always very fast with delivery as well, highly reccomend

I thought I would try this takeaway for the first time. I ordered the chilli and salt spare ribs and prawn crackers. I used just eat. The food arrived quickly and was nice and hot. Please do not be fooled by the pictures on the website. The picture showed ribs with onions, peppers and spring onion. I received ribs with one very small sliver of yellow pepper, lots of onions and no spring onion at all. The ribs were tasty enough but not very meaty. The prawn crackers were crispy and very tasty. I do not like to leave poor reviews on food sites as taste is a matter of opinion but I would like to get something that at least resembles the photos of the dish being sold. Unfortunately I will not use this takeaway again based on my first experience.

Really tasty food. Had chicken balls, beef chow mein and salt and pepper chips. It was really good and will definitely be back

By far the best in east kilbride.

Ordered take away… found when home order was totally wrong ! Very disappointed… won’t use ever again! NOT recommend. Surely you shouldn’t need to check/open take away bags that correct food has been given! ☹️👎Never to use again!!! Your getting a pot luck if you get a take away from here!!!

Great place nice people and amazing food amazing price it great

THIS SHOP IS INSANE . I LOVE IT SO MUCHH💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️PLEASE READ THISS💕💕 I LOVE YOUR SHOP I HOPE YOU BLOW UP! !!!!!!!!!! 我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！我太喜欢了！！！

We ordered from this takeaway propably around 15 times now as all other arent good at all. We order exact same food all the time we never change it. It's a shame to say the food has been good but no consistency what so ever, the food tastes diferent every single time, dishes have diferent vegetables, diferent spices, sometimes they have sauce sometimes they dont, we even get a peanuts in dishes they've not suppose to be there (not great for someone with alergy as not marked on the menu). The other week we got peanuts in chilli chips.. not sure why. As I said the food its not bad - although I couldn't eat it today how disappointed I was as I wanted my favourite dish and yet again... it tasted totally different and had a different ingredients as it suppose to have. It feels like they have diferent chefs all the time or chef Is cooking the way Scottish weather is changing - we all know we can get snow, sun, and rain within 1 hour. I dont like really to leave negative review but I've tried to contact the restaurant multiple times but left without any answer.

Young male after being to to send an order demands to say please before doing so my order sat 15 mins before he clicked and asked what I ordered waited 25 mins for a basic chips fried rice and sauce wont be back

Ordered shredded crispy chicken which was inedible & was put straight in the bin. Chips were basic. Definitely better chineses in EK.

Food was delicious and so fresh!! We waited a long time for the delivery but it was so worth it and a good sign that they were very busy!!

Our local go to for our Chinese takeaway.

Order some food from here the chicken balls looked and tasted like they had been reheated 3 times the worst I have tasted they also delivered our food 20 minutes late my wife enjoyed here might try again if its as bad as it was we won't be back.

Best salt and chili chicken ever!

Ordered a takeaway tonight. Egg fried rice had no egg in it! The chicken chow mein was bland and the spicy chicken dish was also bland with no spice. Really disappointed. Won't order from here again.

Use this chinese quite a bit, usually have the satay which is always excellent. Food always delivered on time , would highly recommend

Good food nice staff spotless clean

Lovely food. Great service and nice lady working at the desk.

Have used Dragon quite a few times & have never had a problem meals have always be top marks but tonight's one has disappointed me my meal was that greasy you could see the grease on the bottom of the box parts of my chicken was still pink & the sweet & sour sauce had way to much vinegar it totally ruined my meal couldn't eat it

Good quality food but get my order wrong from Just Eat every time. I select “honey chilli” for my choice of sauce and always get peking. Portion size a little small.

Always order from here. Favourite Chinese in EK and I have tried most of them. Love the curry sauce.

The only Chinese takeaway I go to now. As a vegetarian the options are vast. The food is tasty and delivery is always on time, if going to be late well kept up to date. Picture attached is half a portion. Tomorrow nights dinner as portions are huge

Ribs were dry, BBQ sauce tasteless. WonTon soup bad taste no veg and sloppy ingredients. Overall meal poor tasting and not what I had before from here. Wont be back

Amazing Food! Fast, Friendly service! Would definitely recommend 👌

Ordered from Dragon Kitchen for my daughter's birthday takeaway. Order was delivered quickly. Food was very tasty. Christmas card and extra fortune cookies were a nice touch as was the free box of salt and chilli chips, spring rolls and curried veg parcels. Will definitely order again.

We use this place quite a bit now. I always get Dry Spare Ribs (meaty, good portion) and Beef Satay on skewers which is tasty.

Best Chinese carry out in East Kilbride. 👍😋

I don't normally take the time to leave a review but I felt like I had to this time. First off I was very impressed by the amount of food you actually get for your money.... Second the food tastes amazing. So full of flavour. Also this is not the first time I have ordered. They are consistently good. Would 100% recommend this place.

Must be under new management. The food is outstanding and the staff super efficient. My go to chinese .

Disgusting fillet pecking is not fillet just been confirmed by owner says the chef can’t read English ffs

I have been ordering here every Saturday since March 2020 and I have never been disappointed. I used to order from The Lantern which is 2 minutes from my house not any more would rather wait for the Dragon delivery as it's different class. They also put a wee extra to try free of charge. Go on give them a try. 😋

Have just recently started using this takeaway and I have no complaints everything we have had has been delicious, we normally use The Lantern but this is now our go to Chinese takeaway.

Crispy chicken soup is delicious.

Thought we'd give this one a try for a change. Ordered at 6.35 and they stated the delivery would be around 19.30. At 19.33 I got a notification that the delivery was out for delivery. At 19.53 I called the shop to be told that it was out for delivery and would be about 10/15 mins (it's an 8 minutes drive from the shop to the house) and the driver has been busy. It eventually arrived at 8.20. Almost 50 minutes from the notification that it was on its way. The driver was apologetic for the time taken and when I got the good it was hot and tasty (that's something good). Whilst chatting to customer service at just eat they had said they shop has delayed the order by 50 minutes. I wouldn't have minded, I'd rather be told there's a delay than sit waiting wondering why an 8 minute drive is taking nearly an hour. Looking at other reviews, it looks like I'm not the only one who has experienced late deliveries. This needs to change. Food was good. Service and delivery not so much. Will give them a second chance though.

Excellent food. Abysmal delivery times. Third order and third time over half an hour late.

Excellent food, delivery and service

Appreciate weather conditions don't help

Unfortunately we were missing 3 items out of order, phoned up the person on the phone was understanding and got it too us as soon as they could

Ordered food, was told it would be delivered at 19.05. Waiting 15 minutes after delivery time and asked for an update was told delivery time are estimated to be 1.30 hrs due to snow. Wished I had been updated about this when ordering and I would have cancelled. Food has now been delivered and it's cold. Poor service, I understand about the snow today. But to be expected to pay for warm food and get it cold. Wont be ordering again

Over an hour late, three calls to the restaurant then eventually food arrived cold, driver was pleasant which was the only plus point

The first few weeks the food was very good, but the last two weeks the food has been poor. Salty and chilli ribs over cooked, rice like one big lump of stodge, and salt and chilli chips soggy. As this is one of the more expensive Chinese take outs we would have expected the standard of food to be more consistent.

waited an hour and a half for delivery

This was the most embarrassing delivery I have ever received. The food was freezing cold took 2 hours from ording to delivery. The box my food came in collapsed when I picked it up. I will never order again, Staff were rude and never tried to apologise or rectify the situation once.

The food is excellent however delivering it an hour late lets the restaurant down.

Ordered via just eat to save waiting, but on arrival at the allotted time for pick up, it was not ready. Had to wait 25 mins !! Then they missed out part of the order and I had to return. Absolutely hopeless

Pricey Watery curry Watery satay Didn’t tickle the taste buds as we had hoped having spent over £34 for three dinners

Always get a lovely meal here. Normally our order is early however at the weekend it’s busier.

Food arrived earlier than estimated and was hot on arrival. Ordered salt and chilli chips and they weren’t what I expected, they were definitely salt and chilli chips just not what i’d had from other places if that makes sense. Takes a bit...maybe...fresher? Or something than other Chinese’s so if you’re looking for a greasy MSG old fashioned Chinese this might not be the one for you. Almost like they don’t use oil when cooking? Not sure. Good flavour, fresh ingredients.

Food was lovely but missing part of the order, then waiting over 2 hours for it to be delivered.

Left a note due for just onion in the sweet and sour and yet I get all the veg.

Waited for two hours for order never arrived...delivery driver delivered to wrong address and wouldn't except he was in the wrong.Shocking customer service...no meal or refund given!

Food is lovely only thing is my curry sauce had either been sat on or had another order placed on top of it so it had spilled nearly all of it all over the inside of the bag, only a very small amount left in tub, waste of money as never actually got any of it but other than that everything else was spot on.

Chicken fried rice had gravy through it, not too my taste.

If i could give this place ‘half’ instead of ‘1’ it would be for the pleasant delivery driver. Although, the food was all over the inside of the bag as the cheap overstuffed packaging had burst open. Everything tasted the exact same, which was unpleasant at best. We are still not convinced that the salt and chilly chicken was actually chicken and not fish - the texture of meat in the chicken sate was just wrong to the extent is was inedible. Veg had perhaps seen heat for about 5 seconds. Beef was vile and the noodle dish was like slime. Everything of the £40 meal, but the chips, went in the bin! This is without doubt the worst Chinese meal i have ever had and definitely one of the most terrible meals ever. This is not a cheap place - about average and a total disgrace. Who ever cooked and prepared this has no pride in what they do. Shocking.

Shortly following the arrival and consumption of the generous portioned meal.i ordered from you, I constructed a dump of alarmingly large proportions which in truth, frieghtened me! However I take from this meal a very positive experience. A+++++ highly recommended (and the free chicken wings were awesomely tasty by the way! thanks!!

Not up to the usual standard .... chilli salt chicken not much m flavour and very dry and crunchy

Excellent food ,great service & quick delivery

Great food. Piping hot on delivery.

Handy for a quick Chinese takeaway. Food good and reasonably priced

Food ok but there’s nothing telling you that your curry doesn’t come with rice, when I bought this to their attention I was told I should have known and no other takeaway supplied rice with a curry, staff attitude wasn’t what you’d expect from a customer based business I had to buy fried rice on top of the £7 for the curry, total cost £9.20 Going to Wok Wong’s next time rice comes with dish and 20p for fried rice so total of £7.50 and they’re quality of food is as good if not better

Always get great food from them

Very good and quick service. Had food three nights. Two nights chicken was melting in you mouth other night it was dry and like cardboard

This place should be ashamed of them selfs, worst i have ever had. Kids sausage and chips £7.50 a portion of chips and 2 separate sausages in a bag. No gravy onions nothing to complement meal absolutely chuffing terrible. Stay away guys. Best advise i could give

Enjoyed the food.Warm and tasty.Pleasant staff.

picked up my chinese from here last night as recently moved to the area. I actually thought there must have been a mistake with the curry sauce as it was very dark, it was so sweet I thought it must have been bbq. After a few seconds a ting of spice came about so it must be curry? Salt and chilli chips were again so so sweet!! I have never tasted anything like it. If anything Chinese are usually really salty! Can now see from previous reviews this is an ongoing theme. It’s all well and good saying hardly anyone complains, that doesn’t mean they enjoy it it just means it’s too much hassle to complain. As I can see the manager doesn’t take feedback constructively ... I imagine not very many people would want to tackle this. Also ... £5 for salt and chilli chips, get a grip 🙉.

As the local Chinese takeaway that i have used for 20 years had recently changed owners that caused a cliff edge drop in food quality, I decided to try some food from the Dragon Chinese Kitchen as an alternative. I really wished i had read the reviews about this place first as the quality was quite appalling. My partner and I ordered BBQ spare ribs in sauce, sweet and sour chicken and a portion fried rice. The ribs were dry as a bone despite having a light coating of thick, glutinous sickly sweet sauce. I can only imagine that the ribs are deep fried then kept warm in an oven until some hapless individual like me buys them. They were so bad, they went straight into the bin. The sweet and sour chicken didn't fair much better. No flavour to speak of apart from yet another sickly sweet sauce with some bits of pineapple, soggy overcooked onions and chicken pieces that i think were dried out in the same oven as the ribs. Guess what? This went straight in the bin as well. As we were only left with a tub of fried rice as we had dumped everything else, we expected the rice to be appalling as well. You guessed it, it was dry, disgusting, clumped together and completely inedible. I have no intention of ever buying from this place again. What a complete waste of money. My partner commented later that we would have been better buying a cheap microwave Chinese meal deal from Morrison's next door as would have easily been much better than the disgusting overpriced, tasteless sickly sweet dried out slop that is sold by the Dragon Chinese Kitchen

Take away order. I have to be truthful. This was the most disappointing Chinese I have ever had in 40 years. I had Chicken Udon (awful). My wife had prawns and ginger. It was 6 prawns and huge chunks of thick ginger and two full onions. ( awful) So disappointing but we will not be back. There is no excuse for poor food. If tempted to go ( think will Morrisons cafe be better).

Ordered £30 worth of food from here tonite and all was minging. The chicken chow main was bland and noodles were way over cooked and chicken in it was disgusting. Shredded chicken was OK, not the best. On top of having bad quality food we waited nearly 2 hours and it was cold on arrival. Definitely won't b bk..

Absolutely shocking takeaway, bought a munchie box this evening and the quality was very poor. Mostly onion, chicken was mainly batter, and the chips were awful. We are frequent customers of Dragon so we phone back to explain that we weren’t happy, and spoke to the manager who was extremely rude and hung up on my partner. We will never be back, avoid this Chinese takeaway!!!

Visited this place today and ordered “Chicken Fried Rice” and a tub of “Curry Sauce.” Food tasted good, however, could have done with being a lot warmer. Waited almost 20 minutes for the food so for that reason I have knocked another star off.

Good food. Would order from here again.

great food, great service Overall im very happy with this Chinese

Scran was amazing.....as always. Usually collect but was pure heavy MWI so got a delivery and was here pronto. Salt and Chilli king prawn is my new favourite btw!!

Order came within the estimated delivery time which was more then reasonable for a Friday night! When the food came it was warm and smelled amazing! The portion size was great so we now even have some for a snack today which is always nice! We had the Salt and Chilli Munchie box with some additional Salt and Chilli chips and chicken! This meant they sent us some prawn crackers AND a side of Salt and Chilli wings! Which should not be given for free because they were delicious! On top of all the greatness we were then given fortune cookies! Amazing! Thank You 😁

Food was good but spent to much time separating onions etc from salt and chilli dishes which i stated on the notes to restaurant that i would like no veg on either salt and chilli dishes good food and delivery time would have been better if staff read my note👍🏻

Bland food! Salt and chilli chips looked barely cooked and had hardly any taste. Same with chicken in oyster sauce, flavourless! Won't be ordering again.

disappointed as I did not receive prawn crackers which I ordered and paid for

SHRIMP CURRY WAS LOVELY HOWEVER THE CHICKEN SZECHUAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED VEGETABLE SZECHUAN STRUGGLED TO FIND THE CHICKEN.

Took an hour to be delivered. Food had clearly been sitting out for ages & had been reheated & was absolutely disgusting. Chucked out after the 1st bite 😷

order put in at 9.53 driver at my door 10.10 fastest delivery ever wow

I've never had a bad meal from here however tonight my chicken was undercooked and very pink in the middle so couldn't eat it. Disappointed

Not used for a while and unlikely to use again anytime soon. Food was mostly nice enough but one of the bits of chicken had a bone and the rice was cold. The delivery time was also quite slow.

I ordered a chicken satay (stir fried) it was very watery and had to be put in the bin... waste of money

One of the best Chinese takeaway I've had

Order ham omelette, lovely and light not to heavy normal delivery time

Salt & pepper chilli chips were chips with salt and pepper with a few sprinkles of onion and 4 chilli flakes come on for the price it's a disgrace never order again no value for the money.

Excellent quality of food and service. Unfortunately the delivery driver is the most rude individual we have come across; did not utter a word, was clearly not in a good mood then slammed our gate before going back to close it.

From when i put order in took 1 hour 10 mins. Would have been faster going to get it.

Waited over an hour to then not even receive my order. Wont use again.

Thanks for changing my main to a Veggie option - greatly appreciated and delicious :-)

Lovely food and not long to wait for delivery

Thanks for changing the Foo Yung to a vegetarian option - Delicious!
