Dragon Inn in Central Bedfordshire

I'm given this place one star and I've never even been here. Why...because you need to be a member before you can book a table 😆 😄 😂 I mean c'mon seriously. I will be dinning somewhere else.

Only Chinese I go to in Leighton Buzzard incredible food keep up the good work 👍

Ordered via Just Eat. Various from King Prawn chow mein, beef in black bean sauce, egg fried rice & duck chef special. Absolutely delicious! Fabulous & quick service. Could not be happier 😀👍

The best Chinese in Leighton buzzard hands down. Unlike the others, these guys have more seafood dishes and their food is delivered so fast. Don’t think I’ve waited beyond half an hour for a delivery from dragon inn. Food is always piping hot and they make the best chicken curry, sesame prawn toast and special chow mein. Essential.

However, the food was lovely. thanks

Always great food, arrived on time and piping hot! Thanks, really enjoyed.

delivery driver was polite and on time

Food okay but not amazing. Chow mein very bland and dry with wrong noodle type.

was OK nothing special, bit pricey

The food was of very poor quality on this occasion, cold and slimy. Given that 2 meat options, 1 noodles, 1 rice and some prawn crackers cost near £40 this was exceptionally bad.

Really good!! The food is perfect

Lovely & hot, generous portions I highly recommend

Best Chinese restaurant I've ever been in, food fantastic, large size portions, very tasty, staff very freindly and helpful

We are visiting family in the area today who are members at this restaurant (you have to be a member to be able to eat here for some reason, maybe the set my expectations to high). They have had a few mixed experiences but we were willing to give it a go. The food was great, although a little pricey compared to others in my own experience. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time, was hot, and tasted great. Unfortunately the staff were exceptionally rude, and not only to our table which was a great shame. It left the atmosphere very uncomfortable. The staff were actually laughing at us after we asked whether the drink delivered to our table was correct as it did not appear or taste as expected. If it was up to myself, I would have paid for the drinks, got up and walked out at this point. However the group wanted to stay and give them the benefit of the doubt. The person who came to our table to collect payment at the end of the meal was so eager to take the money from our hands that I was genuinely left shocked. Im afraid we won’t be returning to this restaurant but hope the staff learn from this review to ensure other members do not have the same experience.

I can’t remember exactly how quick but superman speed 😂 I didn’t order much but still it was warm and tasty. Perfect thank you so much.

Would appreciate a refund. We've placed similar orders many times and enjoyed the food, however, this time the dishes contained a large amount of carrots compared to previous orders.

I want to support local and more-so I want it to be good, but sadly there was no flavour to anything. Salt & pepper squid and chicken has no salt on whatsoever. Chicken was a bit crispy but the squid was soggy as a mermaids cheque book. Duck with ginger & spring onion, chicken fried rice - same issue, no flavour which is a shame as the duck looked very tasty. I know it was a Saturday and they were busy but I was very disappointed. Sadly, I cannot recommend

Best Chinese in Leighton and the front of house team are great lads. Won’t go anywhere else and in fact will go here and not to the Chinese on the same road as me!

Lovely food and speedy delivery

All dishes were delicious, received piping hot, and delivered super super quickly! Excellent

My wife ordered a takeaway. When she got home my prawn curry was a pork dish. They're not cheap and they can't even get a takeaway order correct. Will not be returning for a meal here.

Super quick delivery! Way earlier than estimated. Food was hot and super tasty! Loved it thank you!

Great, nice food, we really enjoyed. We like to use this Chinese a lot but a question could you start doing salt & pepper chips on your menu? Thanks again,

The meal was very nice but far too many onions in the sizzling lamb and not enough lamb.

Disgusting Food. who cuts up ribs into nibbles? fries chips in fat that had needed changing years ago. The rest tasted foul and went in the bin. What a total waste of money. For me not the first time from them. Never again.

Food was tasty. I felt that we could have been given complimentary prawn crackers when spending over £85 on an order

I had better Chinese. the food was bland and everything tasted the same. the fried rice was very dry, the prawn rolls had weird smell and taste...like fried in bad, old oil. I wouldn't buy again from them

By far the best Chinese/Cantonese food in LB. Delicious Lemon chicken, the lemon sauce is fresh and has a great tang.

Eight of us went to The Dragon Inn to celebrate my husband's 60th Birthday. The food and service was exceptional. Sammy was a wonderful host. Highly recommend a visit (be aware, portions are huge, you'll come out feeling stuffed but happy). Thank you Guys

My usual Chinese is closed so, I thought I’d give Dragon’s Inn a try. I spoke to the restaurant over the phone and they were very polite and accommodating. Unfortunately the food just wasn’t very nice, it was confusingly very bland. I say confusingly as the special fried rice just taste like boiled rice and the strongest flavour in it was the garden peas! The Satay Chicken was slightly bizarre it was very gloopy I’m not sure if that was because the garnishes had gone soft and again no strong flavour, I could barely taste any peanut, really oily too. The prawns were crispy but the garnish didn’t taste like anything! The chicken balls were good a nice portion, crisp on the outside really meaty chicken piece in the middle but the sauces were not they smelled like vinegar. Chowmein very bland again. It was really unfortunate as the customer service was great. Even the delivery man was really lovely.

delicious food, very fresh and hot.

Wonderful place to eat and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Re fried chicken, bland, no taste at all

not happy i rang say they’re on way but nothing past the time then it gets updated in app says it’s been delivered but there’s been nothing not even a phone call

Delivery was quick. But asked for no prawn and they didn't take notice of the written instructions. This place is expensive and I would have expected better quality food for the price. It was average.

excellent service and excellent food

just eat very easy to use and choice of takeaways is brilliant, especially our favourite Chinese, The Dragon In

I had satay chicken which I normally love, but the chicken had a funny taste and the sauce was a tasteless (no hint of peanut) jelly-like substance which had split, half fat, half jelly. I couldn’t eat it. My partner had chow mien and said he was disappointed. One of our clients had recommended you so we were keen to give you a try. The high price tag brought with it a certain expectation. Bitterly disappointed and a waste of money.

Fantastic delivery driver and lovely food!

Always excellent food and quick delivery

always hot, tasty and good portions

used before, will definitely use this restaurant again😋

Great as always! Food arrived piping hot, faster than the estimated time and was fresh and tasty.

Always good quality and most of the time delivered early. Best Chinese in The Buzz that we have tried.

Didn’t arrive and they don’t answer the phone

Always great quality. Thanks very much

Food was not hot enough.Chips were not fresh and they were hard. Beef tough. Would not order again, very disappointed.

Such a shame items were missing. I know it’s busy but……

Considering it's NYE I was very surprised that our ordered turned up exactly on time. This is by far the best Chinese in Leighton Buzzard!

This was the first place in LB we ordered food from and it's excellent, food is great, arrives very quickly every time and is hot when it arrives. ✨ Highly recommended! ✨

The site is easy to navigate, huge menu, lots of delicious options, The food was well packed, no spillage, piping hot and tasted really lovely.

Lovely food very fast delivery many thanks.

Very disappointed with the food. It was cold and the grease was dropping off the chicken balls. The chips were tasteless. The prawns were rock hard and had no flavour. Extremely unsatisfying. I definitely would not recommend this.

Unbelievable says there open till 10:30 and ignoring my calls maybe change your time👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent service and excellent food as ever can't fault it

Not the standard we normally get from this takeaway well below par on taste tonight bland

Average quality and taste,nothing exceptional, good portions

Food was amazing. Still hot when delivered. Couldn't fault anything. Would highly recommend.

Unpleasant texture to the chicken. Special fried rice was just boiled rice and a few peas and bits of meat on top.

Excellent food Excellent service as ever

Disgusting, wouldn't feed to a dog,and the prices u charge are ridiculous

Staff excellent, friendly, kind and helpful. Informative. Service brilliant. Fairly quiet when we went so they had time for us. Love their new decoration. Takeaways are always good too. As a bit expensive we always use them for special occasions. Worth it.

Having set our expectation for delivery to take one hour we were pleasantly surprised when our delicious food arrived after only 30 minutes.

Hot fresh and very tasty , great food . Fast service .

Really nice food, flavours are great and always delivered in good time

Good food and a friendly atmosphere but the price was high. We ordered one of the set meals with slight amendments which we were told were fine. I asked if the price was going to change and was told they would check. It was only at the end when the bill was presented we found it had been unexpectedly increased, significantly. I asked the manager about it and was told that that was the final figure. So, not such good value for money as it might have been. Disappointing and left us thinking we will not be returning.

A lovely relaxed 200 perfect service and exceptional food .we will return thank you

Food was cold. Didn’t seem fresh. I think probably left over from lunchtime. Such a lot of money to go in the bin. Really disappointed as a takeaway is a treat for us.

Excellent food, came very fast (selected asap), loads left for dinner tomorrow.

Ordered the crispy lamb. Pancakes were missing and only lettuce delivered with the meat.sweet and sour chicken balls were greasy. The rest was ok

I ate there last night with my brother and sister in law, the food was first class the best Chinese meal I have had for a long time, the food was hot the service was excellent very friendly and not in your face, they even give your time between courses. Excellent well done to everyone.

Always delicious and still hot

Top quality food, with good portion sizes. Would recommend.

This is an updated review for 2023 (the last time I'd eaten from here it was 2017 😳) The 2017 review was 2 star, it was a very poor experience, my missus decided to order from here, well things have changed a lot, the food was excellent, prompt delivery. Its a little pricier than the local competition, however it seens to be the best available in Leighton Buzzard. The restaurant has had a major renovation and looks fantastic.

Tasty and hot food delivered quickly. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be ordering from Dragon Inn again.

Poor quality, so much onion in both main courses, at the price we feel ripped off.....won't use again

Great food and great service as usual.

Great food and really fast delivery

If you like Dragon Inn's takeaway service you need to try their newly refurbished restaurant. The food is incredible, such flavour. The service is second to none, homely and friendly without being in your face. The decor is beautiful and tasteful. p.s. their deep fried ice cream is amazing

Popped in to get a takeaway. We noticed the restaurant was members only and when we enquired the lady offered to show us around the restaurant and helped us to sign up. Food was cooked quickly, it was hot and tasty 😋

Absolutely delicious meal, thank you

Very good food, hot and tasty. Prompt delivery.

Lovely food and prompt delivery.

Amazing food. Will be ordering from here again!

Excellent food as always. Thank you!

Great kebabs. Best in town. Cous cous rice is amazing. 👍

Delivered on time, great food every time.

I asked for delivery at 8pm - came just after 6pm

Brilliant Chinese takeaway definitely a favourite

What a fabulous experience. This restaurant has recently re-opened after closure for over 3 years due to pandemic in first instance. It has been beautifully re-decorated, the staff are so good and we were treated to a 'tea ceremony' on arrival which was such a lovely experience. The food was really good, very generous portions and altogether a really great time. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great quality and good portion sizes

Just been to the new dragon inn, what a fantastic place, great food and very friendly service, 10 out of 10

Really enjoyed meal. Would order from them again. Food was still hot and delivery was very quick.

Fantastic food and very swift delivery

First time ordering from Dragon very disappointed food was cold and asked for no veg in one of the dishes came with veg. Won’t be returning

Prompt delivery but my duck Catonese style came without sauce so was very dry meal

Chicken balls were cold and didn’t taste fresh same with the rice. Very disappointed.

Ordered, arrived earlier than expected (not an issue at all) and it was delicious 🤗

Lovely food. Decent portion sizes.

Delicious. Delivered fresh and hot with extra packaging to ensure the same.
