Dragon Inn in Basildon

Very delicious food. Always order from dragon inn. Good customer service.

Allways great food & friendly staff

Really good … food , service and price is reasonable

Just had a delivery, on time as usual and the food tonight was probably the best I've had well done 👏

The vegetables tasted spoilt, ruined my whole mood and day because it was a waste of money. The customer service is also bad because the lady on the phone is rude and inattentive to customers (I cried after), they don’t seem to value having long term customers and the food quality and flavour over the years have gotten worse, whilst the prices got higher. Used to be my top pick, but now it isn’t even on my list, so I’ll stop going here.

This place received a ONE STAR food hygiene rating on 25 May 2023. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT NECESSARY in two of the three categories. https://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/68684/dragon-inn-billericay/online-ratings I used to love this takeaway but will never go back.

Consistently great food, Always welcome to the Brightside

Dragon Inn haven’t changed the prices on their menu for years, do they not By LAW have to update it!?

This is by far the worst Chinese takeaway in Billericay, I’ve had better chicken curry’s out of Tescos it was watery with no taste at all asked for extra fresh chillies and get chilli flakes, the honey chicken was literally dunked in a honey pot before slapping it in the container. The chips I could have used to cement the slabs in my back garden down. I wouldn’t recommend at all!!

Delivered an hour later than stated (so 2 hours in total) with 2 items missing and 3 items incorrect (containing ingredients I had asked not to include!!). Called to ask for partial refund and manager refused, saying I could have 20% off next order (no thank you I will be not giving you my business again) and expecting me to wait over an hour for missing items (what use is that when the rest of the meal will be cold!). Terrible service.

Great service. Friendly and efficient and the food was great. Been using then for over ten years. Never had a bad meal.

Friendly staff. Always smiling. Lovely food.

My absolute go-to chinese! Their fried dumplings are to die for and I've never had a poor meal from here, highly recommend! (They/Them)

One of best Chinese Restaurants you will ever find. Amazing food and staff are all super friendly. Will definitely be back again soon. Yummy.

The restaurant lied about delivery times and when I called after an hour and 10 minutes they hadn’t even made our order, this take away was recommended but after our experience tonight we will never be surfing them again !!!

Just had takeaway from here it was absolutely lovely , hot tasty not greasy really good

Recently started using this takeaway, the food is amazing 👏 best I've had in Billericay so far

First time tonight having takeaway with this Chinese and I must say it was very nice indeed , nice enough that I called and conplimted the chef. (Very rare I do that.) The food was hot ,fresh, tasty,seasoned, not greasy,good size portions and ready in no time . The only thing I can criticize is the lemon sauce was very lemony and I mean very lemony but I guess if you ask for lemon sauce you get LEMON sauce but apart from that I think we have found our new Chinese takeaway . Regards your new customer John

This Chinese takeaway is the best around, i am so lucky to have this place so close to my doorstep. The food is always spot on, super tasty. I've been a chef for more than 20 years and I know good food when I taste it. Joanna who works on the front desk is the most pleasant person, she always has a lovely welcoming smile and is a joy to talk to. I can't stop coming back.Thank you so much Dragon inn,Miles

Ordered a mixture of dishes, really enjoyed the crispy beef and spring rolls. The Lemon Chicken was a bit odd and the vegetarian dishes weren't great. The restaurant didn't mention that we had to pay by card on the phone but luckily had cash.

Great for vegetarians, lovely food, good price.

Chose this take away purely as drove past. Not familiar with take aways in the area as dont live in Billericay and was pleasantly surprised. Lovely food including really tasty chicken satay. Food was hot and promptly delivered. Would recommend.

We use the Dragon Inn in Western Road as they deliver. The quality of food has gone down over the last few months, not sure why.Tonight the delivery took an hour and 20 minutes. When we rang they informed us they had called at the incorrect address, despite being told the correct address twice. So why didn’t they call us to confirm the address?!Needless to say the food was stone cold. The quarter of duck was predominantly fat and was inedible.We will not be using the Dragon Inn again.

It was amazing iv never felt so fat from eating so much in my life I would 100% recommend I hope you enioy your Chinese

Best chinese in billers! Quick sevice, hot food, good quality portions!

Shame I can't give zero stars - apparently they don't cater for allergies . IE can't be bothered to clean their grill.

Ever since Tony left Yau's have been searching for a decent Chinese Takeaway. Finally found one. Dragon Inn is very good. They gave a pretty good estimate of delivery time. The food was very tasty, we had beef in black bean sauce, bbq ribs, prawns in chilli and salt, seaweed, rice. All very nice and would defo recommend.

Best Chinese in billericay, and probably further afield. Highly recommended, excellent vegetarian options too

We decided to have a chinese takeaway on Saturday, the first in a long time since we stopped eating at Yau's.The food was very nice indeed, we had Sweet & Sour Chicken, Pork Foo Yung with Chicken Rice & crispy Seaweed. It was sold in nice containers which kept the food hot & the meal was delicious. Well worth the money, will do this again next month.Highly recommend.

Since Tony left From Yao’s in unexplained circumstances by chance we ordered from the Dragon Inn (DI) and were not disappointed. Apart from the ridiculous over ordering from our lady host the food was exceptional. Crispy moist duck, perfectly cooked rice and noodles as well as a quality curry sauce (chilli hot).. Now the DI have introduced a delivery service (free) it’s perfect for getting hammered and not worrying and arguing who is going to collect the food or who is most capable at the time. Will reach another level when website and online ordering is introduced with PayPal to be truly Omni channel.

Great food, had chicken chowmien with fresh chillies.. Delicious

Ordered a takeaway from Dragon Inn (DI) the other weekend with our extended family from Dubai. (Whenever they’re home DI is a must-have). We over-ordered by a factor of 5 dishes but that was our fault not theirs. Everything was first class, as it always is. Surprisingly they don’t have any online presence and admitted they don’t check their trip advisor reviews so any web developers out there might want to have a conversation with them.

I’m not a massive fan of Chinese, it’s generally way down the list of takeaway options, but the kids chose this time, so happy to go with it for a change. We chose Dragon Inn on a friend’s recommendation and I was pleasantly surprised. It arrived hot, and on time, and everything was really good. Especially liked the chilli and salt chicken and the vermicelli noodles. Large portions too, so enough for lunch the next day. It worked out around £8 per head, so very good value. I will order from there again.

Dragon Inn Billericay Essex .is a Chinese take away, the food is very good fresh and tasty, and a bonus the food you order is checked out to make sure it is correct.. We have for a long time been buying from another Chinese takeaway, However with there being many mistakes with both orders and delivery / pick up times and staff which have been quite rude , we decided to give Dragon Inn a try , and we were Not disappointed The food was Hot and very tasty and most important no mistakes , would we use Dragon Inn again . of cause we will so looks like our previous takeaway has lost yet another customer, Just remember Dragon Inn seems to know how to look after its customer ,with Good Food Friendly staff and as I said the orders so far have all been correct , oh sometimes you even get a little extra Freeby

We were loyal patrons of Yaos mainly due to the front of house manager Tony who has now moved on, not sure if it’s forever but it’s a disaster.On Saturday we attempted to order a delivery but were constantly thwarted by an engaged tone and on visiting found it had been taken off the hook, then informed it would take between an hour and a half and two hours, this has never happened in the history of Tony/Yaos.For the first time I ordered from dragon inn around the corner and was not disappointed..from the special fried rice to the curry sauce (chili hot ) all the dishes were fresh hot and tasty, duck, beef, chicken all excellent.Sorry Yao’s but I have had my head turned by the dragon inn and if takeaway life could be more perfect Tony would return as front of house director of the DI greeting me like a long lost brother and passing me a cold bottle of Tsing Tao.

Having been long-term clients/friends of Tony Yau it came as a great shock when he called time on his career at Yau’s to embark upon his well-deserved retirement. The new management have got off to a poor start and after being told it was a 2hr wait for food we ventured into uncharted waters and tried Dragon Inn....... If only we’d have made this leap of faith earlier. What a find. The food is as fresh as we’ve ever had from a takeaway and not one single dish was a let-down. So often at Yau’s the food was a lottery but you forgave that for the entertainment that Tony provided. Absent of his wit, Yau’s is now of our list and Dragon Inn has rightfully claimed the crown. The king is dead, long live the king.

Great takeaway food, kids loved it to!! Friendly staff.

nice ribs, I've tried them all, I prefer the mandarin ribs delicious.. chow mein and chop suey also v good, would like their Chinese curry to be a little more spicy and less sweet.... but mustn't grumble, I always enjoy my meals from them.

Good food, probably best Chinese in bill town. Quick delivery for a sat evening

We have used Dragon Inn for takeways for many years and have never had a bad one. Always hot, tasty and on time

Recommended by friend. Convenient to park. Delicious food!

I find this is one of the better Chinese Takeaways in Billericay, even though you can get a variation in quality. The food is never bad, but seems to be of a higher quality during busier periods when the food is cooked and appears to taste fresher. Certainly better than Yau's which everyone seems to rave about which is average, poor service and all the food appears to be pink and full of MSG,

I find the food good and good service
