Dragon Palace in Pembrokeshire

We celebrated my husband's birthday this evening at the Dragon Palace. At 6 pm the restaurant was full and there was a great busy, Saturday night vibe. We had a set meal for two, which was generous with a delicious medley of starters. Crispy seaweed, prawn toast, spare ribs, spring rolls and crispy chicken. All were good. The mains were special fried rice, beef in black bean sauce, sweet and sour chicken and mixed vegetables. All good, our favourite was the rice. The service was quick and efficient. It's not the sort of place for a leisurely evening, but if you want a good traditional Chinese it's excellent, and good value. We will return.

Worse chinese in ever had rice all mushy chips not cooked never again

Visited this restaurant Easter weekend. First time for me and a return visit for my partner. It was very busy (especially with takeaway orders). We were served and received our starters promptly but then waited almost an hour for our main course. There were lots of waiting staff working but, it seemed, very little organisation. The portions were quite small (which surprised my partner who’d visited previously and commented on how he felt the portion sizes had shrunk). The food was okay but definitely not outstanding. Sadly this experience has put us off a further visit.

We got a takeaway from here thinking it must be good based on the reviews and the price but we were left disappointed. We thought the food was just average and couldnt believe the size of the sweet and sour sauce provided! it was tiny which made our chips dry with no dipping sauce. Really disappointed and won’t be coming back.

Absolutely fab food and brilliant service. This place is worth the hype and deserves to be as busy as it is! The staff clearly work so hard and the food was outstanding and very quick and efficient service. The place is also well-decorated with a lovely vibe. No faults at all!

Called for a collection, was left on hold for 15 mins before I hung up. Drove to restaurant, staff need to brush up on there customer service skills, guy on till was very miserable. Had crispy shredded chilli beef and crispy shredded chicken, chicken balls, egg rice, plain noodles and chips. Chicken balls were nice, the rest quite bland. Won’t be returning.

What a fantastic takeaway! Best Chinese in a very long time, thank you.

The food was absolutely scrumptious it was the best Chinese I've ever had. I recommend to try.

Bloody hansom food , the best Chinese. I'm full but want more x

Best Chinese I have ever had!! No lie.. highly recommend.

The dragon palace, on arrival I wasn't sure whether we'd be greeted by the king or a dragon. As it happens it was neither, but Bruce lee and Nemo were at reception so that made us feel instantly at home. Almost lost a star because of no real dragons but luckily the food was outstanding so they kept their 5th star...top job 5⭐ 👍🏻

Best Chinese in the area excellent service great food and well priced would highly recommend.

Really good service, a large menu which includes a number of set menu options. The food arrived in good time and tasted great. Very good value for money.

Firstly the food was absolutely abysmal. How they had the ordasity to actually serve it is beyond me . The crispy duck was dry and burnt and the pancakes looked liked they had the life cooked out of them I was so annoyed that I sent my meal back and requested something else . I do not understand why the Cantonese crispy beef now contains lots of sliced jalapeños and roquito chillies why ? Some people do not like alot of heat . I personally think the original standard and quality of this restaurant has certainly gone down hill and lokkys is much more superior in service and food quality. I think the owners really need to invest sometime in Dragon palace to evaluate how to maintain the quality it use to have

Had a gluten free meal with the family and the food was gorgeous. It was light, flavourful and the staff were very happy to cater for dietary requirements. Would thoroughly recommend!

Probably one of the best Chinese takeaways I've had! Sweet and sour ribs were fab!

Beautiful food. Best Chinese I've ever had. Pricier than most but worth it.

An amazing meal ...fantastic service this one never fails. Thank you a great evening and the food and relaxed atmosphere made it extra special

I’ve been a regular customer at dragon palace, but my most recent order was extremely disappointing. The noodles and BBQ ribs were both dry, completely tasteless and didn't look very appetising, lacking any effort or authenticity. It felt like the food was carelessly thrown together rather than prepared with any real attention to quality. Unfortunately, this was the worst meal I’ve had from here, and it’s really disappointing to see such a decline. I hope they take more care in the future, but for now, I won’t be returning.

I won’t be going to this restaurant for a take away again I’ve had 4 takeaways in ten years and not one nice one!

Whole experience was abysmal. Long wait for prebooked table, Wrong drink arrived while waiting 75 minutes fore food arrive. which when it arrived was missing one item and another item was the wrong King prawn dish.

We have come to this restaurant many times previously, always pay a visit whilst in Saundersfoot and have also drove the two hours from our home town just for food of an evening as my daughter loves it there, but tonight was extremely disappointing the food and the service was poor and I for one will not be returning for some time At the start we gave our order etc and after 50 minutes no signs of it coming and others around us who came in after us where having theirs so I asked and to be fair they were open and honest and said the order hadn’t been put through and the ticket has been lost , so okay the young boy apologised to be fair , food eventually came but was quite cold and just poor in comparison to previous visits Our mains was not much better when that eventually came The final straw / there was a bucket of valentine flowers in the bucket right at the side of us and when we paid our bill and was going I could see that every other table had a valentine’s flower , now not for me I’m not bothered but my daughter ( who has a disability) would have loved one , so I said to the man can we purchase a flower please? He said oh haven’t had one have u ? I said no we haven’t so he proceeded and said what colour and my daughter had her flower but honestly very very disappointed overall tonight and I’m a big fan of the place but not after tonight plus it’s only a 3 rating another disappointing aspect , I think they so busy with take aways as well they are not looking after their in-house customers like they should be,

Service was great really nice staff food came quickly over all five stars

Ordered a take away online for delivery. With a planned delivery time. Arrived ninety minutes early. Not great as waiting for the other diners. Rejected the delivery. Rang up to be told don't worry will cook fresh for delivery time. Next delivery arrived thirty minutes early. Most of the dishes were good, one dish looked warmed up to being not good. A few fresher bits looked added. I did not eat that dish, my wife did and was not great the following day. Previous meals have been amazing, this not so good.

My go to Chinese, quick and easy and always lovely food

Lovely food, good size portions

I've got to say 3 years ago I would never imagine leaving this review. This Chinese became our favourite. Always our go to take away and we would always recommend it to others. However especially after the revamp of the place it's gone completely down hill. The price for one has just gone up and up (with cost of living we tried to understand and felt it was still worth it) but the quality of food went down with the price rise. I'm a local and I live 5. 3 miles down the road. And the amount they charge for delivery is insane so we've always collected. But on 3 (only 1 they let us pick up instead of losing the order) occasions we've been told we couldn't pick up we HAD to have delivery which was a stupid amount added to our already expensive order so we had to cancel our order. And the final straw is being told that it's going to take 2 hours for a small order. Bet if I had asked for a delivery it would have been about 30 mins wait. The food like I said is OK, but it's no where as good as it used to be, most of the staff are ok one or two have been rude as anything though. Especially the woman who told me I couldnt order a pick up only a delivery but wouldn't actually say why that was the case and then the manager came on the phone apologised and put us down for a pick up. I understand being busy and having alot to cook and do but it feels like they have lost what made this Chinese so great. Edit: just thought I'd add for reference regarding the delivery price. They wanted to charge £7 and like I said we are 5.3miles away. Our orders are between £30-£40 and then £7 on top for someone to drop it off when we were more then happy to pick up.

Way below usual standard. Emailed to complain but was ignored!!

6 of us dropped in tonight for a meal with no booking and the restaurant was able to fit us in and we are glad that they could. We are in the area for a holiday and looked up Trip Advisor for recommendations near Folly Farm for a sit in Chinese meal and this close and had decent reviews.The food was delicious, served promptly and the portion sizes were decent. I personally would recommend the Hot & Sour soup, Crispy Shredded Beef on a Golden Nest but I also had some Chicken Fried Rice, Salt n Chilli Chips and Chicken Chow Mein to try and these were also lovely. We would deffo visit if in the area again

Lovely food, excellent service, helpful and friendly staff, fair price. See you soon on our next visit from Birmingham

Always a pleasure coming here always friendly staff amazing food one of our favourites, Win, "Ryan" and Alex go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. Keep up the good work !

Worst Chinese takeaway, so expensive food was very bland!!! Ribs were the worst I’ve had anywhere. Spent £80 on takeaway never again. Go somewhere else in Pembrokeshire, there are plenty more around half the cost.

First time visiting today, one young boy stood out to us! He was serving our food and drinks, for a very young boy he had loads of confidence and was polite throughout our visit outstanding food and service 😊😊

Excellent food and well priced. Friendly staff and good service. Recommended

Some of the nicest Chinese food I’ve had the pleasure of eating.

Just had the egg fried rice with peppered beef from Dragon Palace, and it was absolutely delicious! The rice was perfectly cooked, fluffy and flavorful, while the beef had just the right amount of spice and tenderness. A great combination that left me craving more! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tasty Chinese meal in Tenby

Lovely food - will definitely eat here again

Fantastic menu. Fantastic food. Food was piping hot. Service was brilliant and staff very friendly. It's a must to eat here.

Had a takeaway tonight food was absolutely amazing everything was so perfect and tasted lovely service was great and order was done very quick thoroughly enjoyed would definitely recommend

On holiday and didn't want to drive, opted for a delivery takeaway. Only £5.50 for delivery to Tenby, very reasonable, and the food arrived hot and within the delivery time we were given. Food was delicious 😋 great service, thank you x

Ordered takeaway, was ready in 10mins - food was ok but a little bland and expensive compared to our local Chinese. Portion sizes good.

Excellent food and service, Well worth a visit

Take away from here. Ordered by phone, long wait before it would be ready and then 10mins late at collection. Parking on site but was full. Food was tasty but more expensive than we normally pay in east sussex. Would suggest you need to book to eat in. Nice food and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant.

Best Chinese restaurant around. Never fails Food always very good. Staff very pleasant and efficient It’s always a good experience

The best spare ribs I’ve had in a long time! We ordered one of the set meals for two, option B. There was plenty of food and the quality was spot on. The beef in black bean was so tender and the sauce was nice and thick, coating the meat. If anything service was a little quick but a tiny criticism for an overall excellent evening

Love coming here when in the area. The food is delicious, and the staff are so friendly. There is a good variety of dishes to choose from. Each dish is cooked perfectly. You won't be disappointed. The staff are always so friendly and approachable. They cannot do enough for us and are happy to cater for wheelchairs.

Absolutely beautiful meal friendly staff and fantastic service

I travel form Swansea to Pembroke every day for work and on Friday Evenings we have a takeway meal, Having seen the revue's I tried this place I can honestly say that the food does not match the revue's the food is totally bland and by far the worst I have had. And at a much higher cost buyer beware.

Hadn't had a Chinese in years due to the varied quality in our local, but our holiday takeaway from here was absolutely lovely- freshly cooked, lovely ingredients & generous portions! We will definitely visit again

UPDATE SINCE LAST TIME; Gluten free still not a problem here, above and beyond, offer a great gluten free menu now too! Was amazing and helpful with gluten free even made me a rice noodle chow mein! Chicken and ham fried rice was amazing, I wasn't a big fan of the chicken and bean sprouts but customer service and the speed of service was outstanding. I really struggle finding places to eat and this place was really reassuring and great with opting to gluten free.

Had a wonderful meal in Dragon Palace on Sunday, although very busy there was no long wait for food, the meal we had was excellent and there was plenty of it. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Had not been prior to Sunday night but will definitely return, thank you for a lovely experience.

Very enjoyable night. Lots of food, all very tasty 🙂

Weighted on the phone for 15 minutes when to start my order they put the phone down ring the other line answered in 10 minutes to get told I have to go back into another queue never heard so much rubbish will never go there again

Here in holiday Fantastic find , food amazing , great service , very friendly staff ! Thank you

Last time we sat in but this time we decided on a take out for the whole party of 14. Very patient with our large order which was ready very quickly. They do deliver but we decided to collect. Food was very good and enjoyed by everyone from 2 years to old.

Loved it. As good as Kings Cuisine in Godalming but this place also takes Card which is very rare even though the Chinese probably invented card payments lol

Been to this restaurant many times over last 5 years but now restaurant has had complete makeover which was desperately needed.... wow what a transformation dragon palace is now 5 star dining experience, food fantastic service second to none ( Betty was brilliant) and great value so will we be going back.... most definitely

Excellent food recommend booking in advance though

Wow. The food is really excellent. Nice place, greeted at the door promptly. Staff all very friendly. Reasonably priced but very good food. You'll need to book, but definitely go for dinner. (Big shout out to Alex, who personally asked me to include his name in this review.)

Seriously excellent Chinese food. We ordered a takeaway while on vacation, it was busy but food was ready for collection within 30 minutes of ordering. The food really was faultless, will 100 percent be using again when next back in Amroth.

Excellent food and good service. Only issue for me was that the spare ribs were too salty otherwise I couldn't see any issues. Restaurant had a lovely spacious area.

Absolutely tasty everyone enjoyed , the service was fantastic but the only let down was one of our party of 6 had to wait a very long time for her meal which came after we nearly finished ours, just glad the portions were big so that she could share ours.

What a fantastic experience. The restaurant was very busy but great attentive service. The staff were so so friendly Now to the food it was incredible, the best we have ever had anywhere. Piping hot, wonderful flavours and the chicken and beef were tender and beautiful. There is a 10% service charge on the bill (you can ask for it to be removed) we also gave an additional 10%. Credit when Credit is due. Well done we will be back.

Forgot our seaweed in the order

From start to finish the food and service was impeccable. The flavours, the smells, the tastes. Simply WOW! From first sight to last bite the food was outstanding. Service was secured to none. Regular checks. but not intrusive. Asking how the service was as well as the food. Some 5* hotels should take note. On what seemed like a very busy service, the food came out quickly, fresh and as I've said flavourful and could not be faulted. Whether you want a beautiful meal or stunning takeaway, this is where to go in Pembrokeshire.

Purchased take away , staff were lovely and friendly, food was amazing

What a great find. From the minute you you walk in the ambience is great. Friendly staff. Amazing food. There were 5 of us and we each had something different to eat so lots of different dishes for us to try. The best Chinese restaurant I have ever tried. Will definitely be back.

Amazing food and service, you do have to book as it was so busy with takeaways and restaurant customers This was the third time we tried to get in and we weren’t disappointed,

Really cool place, decor is great. Lots of Bruce Lee memorabilia. Food was decent too. And staff were nice

We visited on a particularly busy night which meant a little wait to pick up our takeaway. However, the food was worth the wait as it was delicious

I have a severe onion allergy and specifically told the person taking the order, I saw them input this into the till. When I received my food, I said it didn't taste right and felt funny, then in the middle was just 1 piece of onion. I was very ill with my lips swelling and had to take antihistamines straight away. When I complained about this and what it caused, assuming they do not clean their pans or care. They ignored me. They are lucky I didn't eat the onion just the contamination. Or I could have ended up in hospital. People with allergies need to AVOID!!!

Great food, friendly staff. A little slow getting courses out this time, but all previous times they've been quick. Update 2023: Excellent as always, the gold standard by which we compare all other Chinese restaurants. The chicken satay skewers and crispy shredded beef are perfect. Update 2024: Still excellent. Had a redecoration inside now and it looks really good.

Excellent food, good portions and price, excellent staff. We had duck quarter, wontons, HK ss chicken, Kung po special, rice and noodles. Was delicious.

Lovely food , we booked using the app on their website.

Probably the nicest Chinese takeaway I have ever had! So fresh/non greasy like many takeaways, and so tasty.

Great food. Friendly staff. Busy so book to avoid disappointment

Really nice food and came out fast too. Service was the best, especially from Jerico and Jess.

Beautiful food, and service. Really good portions. Our server Ollie, was fabulous and very professional.

Takeaway.a bland unsalted chicken sweet and sour and rice.tasted metallic with no flavour.very dissapointing after previous nice meals.

Had take out, considering the hype of this place their potion sizes for their food was ridiculous, basic food with barely any flavour

Loved this place food yummy staff lovely really enjoyed it 😋

Always busy. Need to book for eating in. Excellent food.

Food was lovely & staff was very helpful! 😊

Good! Tasty! Delicious! We recommend! Very nice service, parking available. We got a table without a reservation (Friday) - an hour to eat, there was no problem, quick order, quick delivery. We will definitely come back🙃

I was so pleasantly surprised with our recent take away from here. It is unlike almost all other take aways i have tried (and we really like Chinese food). It is really fresh, and light and just so awesome. Many places use lots of oil or excess spice to cover up aging veg, but this place, not a hint of that. We had, beancurd sweet and sour, black bean and mixed vegetables, a portion of chips and fried rice no egg.

Enjoyed a wonderful evening, couldn't fault it well done 👍

Received the wrong food, asked three times for a refund,

Fantastic restaurant, friendly and accommodating staff, great food and service, a great menu to cater for every taste.

Best Chinese had in Tenby area would recommend

We had a delicious takeaway whilst staying in the area.Very impressive. On collection met by a lovely young lady who was very attentive. Food delicious. Would recommend.

Very delicious food with fantastic environment. This is the best food I have had in whole of Tenby. Very polite staffs with swift service. Perfect place to visit for refreshing your mind with beautiful and kind people with good food and music. Please keep up the good work.

Sweet and sour chicken balls and egg fried rice. Poor quality throughout. Chicken batter under cooked and insipid. Rice had no sign of egg whatsover and tasteless. Overall a disappointment and would avoid.

Last night we had a lovely meal at Dragon Palace, we had set menu B for two. Everything was so tasty and plenty of it. The young staff were so polite, friendly and efficient. They worked hard and never looked flustered. I definitely advise booking in advance.

If I could give 0 for this restaurant I would. Food is bland, small portions, rushed and over rated. We had set menu D, mixed starter, crispy duck, Prawns, crispy beef, lemon chicken, fried rice. Mixed starter was only warm, we just ate a prawn toast and duck came as well. No meat on ribs, chicken like cardboard, and disappointing. The duck was not crispy and had a strange taste. Main courses were very small, which in our case wasn’t a bad thing. This restaurant also ads 10% service charge but you can take that off. The set menu was £30 each plus drinks definitely not worth the money. I would not return.

Food, not pleasant, although portion size was good, the food itself was not great, smoked chicken was cold and hard, largely inedible. The satay sauce should have a little lick to it but this satay was too spicy to eat. The food was somewhat overpriced too. Service initially got off to a great start, but then we had 3 or 4 different people serving us which made the whole thing hard work and confusing but not any quicker. Service was very slow. The atmosphere was odd, we were sat segregated from the rest of the restaurant possibly due us having a rather large party but you couldn't help feeling like you had been put in the furthest corner and forgotten about... We pass this restraunt often abd always say let's book, now we have and we can say, let's not book !!!!

First time ordering. Quick delivery and the best Chinese I've ever had. Best in pembrokeshire by far.

Expensive for the quality and quantity you get. House special was £8.50 and didn't include rice. The house special had no prawns and no mushrooms which is what I get back home for a cheaper price including boiled rice(fried rice 0.20p extra).

Absolutely spot on. Attentive staff without being pushy. Drinks arrived quickly and soon followed by our food. Excellent quality, tasty and all the plates cleared. Shame we miles away or we would definitely be back. Well done.

Just had the most amazing meal at Dragon Palace. Staff were friendly and very attentive and the food was delicious. Portions were huge and the meal was great value. Would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

Ordered food to go from here, simply the best quality Chinese takeaway I've ever had. The duck meat was perfect, the portion size left nothing to complain about, and the sauce was delicious.
