Golden Dragon in South Derbyshire

Egg fried rice very bland and dry, curry sauce very spicy

We ordered on New Year’s Eve so sort of expected it to be late but tracking showed it had been delivered on time so phoned up and they said it was on the way and and it was another ten minutes before it arrived.

My food has not even arrived... i have not been contacted and my money has been taken... resterant is now closed no way of contacting. It says delivered but it has not been. This is pathetic now i cant order because no where is open now. Im hungry

took a long time to deliver so cold. multiple drops?

Very good food fast delivery to a difficult holiday address

shredded chicken came in a sweet & sour sauce which wasn't mentioned on the menu so inedible and the food was cold

Food showed up over an hour late & stone cold and then was refused some sort of refund. I understand it’s Christmas Eve and it was busier, but you shouldn’t be telling people it’s on its way for a certain time if it isn’t and then deliver cold food.

Order was overcooked and not as hot as it should be. delivery drivers just banged on the door and left the food on the cold wet floor and drove off. I understand it might be a busy night hence why it was late. But it also seems to have affected the quality of the food. Very disappointed.

all dishes were watery. The crispy beef was swimming in watery bbq sauce with pineapple so think the order was wrong. Chicken sweet and sour Cantonese style was watery and veg hadn't touched a pan. Chicken curry was watery, chicken balls were nice. Disappointed £55 spent.

This is the best Chinese takeaway I've had in years.

Food really dry and overcooked.

£100 of order and one packet of prawn crackers chucked in for free. food was luke warm on arrival am curry was like water. Rude delivery driver too. for such an order I'd have expected my food to be piping hot an a couple more freebies but nope.

Always great! never fail to provide a good meal 💪

just under 30mins late. very nice meals though.

Food arrived thirty minutes late and it was over 25 minutes to come from when it said out for delivery and it was barely warm, Not happy I expect my food to my hot, Not Luke warm

Order missed bottle of coke but overall it was ok

I love the food from here! Only place I order from!!

Excellent food! Above and beyond. Recommend this takeaway.

Lovely food! Delivered on time. No issues, but we didn't know that the service charge was a % and not a fixed price.

Bit pricey for 3 things but good food to enjoy👍🏻

Lovely hot food . Would be nice if there was a little more meat in the curry and sweet and sour

The satay sauce just isn’t very nice. No peanut flavour at all. No spice. Just a sweet pile of mush drowned in msg. All the meat is way too chewy. Credit where it’s due…Prawn toast was fire

Amazing food and great delivery. Always great from here. Thank you

it was cold and the driver rang me to say it left it on the out side chaire and went

I’ve just moved to Swadlincote and got food from here as our first takeaway. We were so impressed by how tasty everything was. Thank you.

No communication to say order was going to be late, on heard from the shop when I made contact. Food was lukewarm, disappointed

The food was 45 minutes late and cold, the delivery driver took £6 off the order but £40 for a cold Chinese isn’t on

Well cooked food delivered hot and on time. Request for no added salt was followed.

Ordered from here for years. This order was awful. Cold, undercooked and inedible. I will not order from here again.

Food is always lovely but unfortunately there was a missing item and a wrong item tonight x such a shame

Really cold food and nasty won’t be using this place again. Seems a dodgy place especially for not accepting card

The driver did not ring the doorbell and left the food outside the front door on the floor by the time we realised it was cold! Appalling service for the prices charged!!!!

Food arrived on time but was very poor quality and cold. I am not one to leave reviews but it was the worst Chinese I’ve had so will not be returning.

Food was old food reheated but still came cold. Absolutely terrible!

Great food and fast delivery as always! Thanks!

food was bland and very over priced for frozen as nothing cooked fresh,prawn toast never seen a prawn in its life, chop suey I've always known it to be beansprouts as main ingredient not water chestnuts and they ain't prawns in the dish but shrimps won't be using this chinese again total rip-off.

Fairly decent spare ribs, although £8.60 for four, thin ribs is a bit of a rip off. The Pancake Roll had one single tiny prawn and a few miniscule pieces of char sui. The prawn crackers were super soft and just stuck to your teeth. No evidence of any prawn in the toast. We won’t order from here again. Just shy of £36 wasted.

Food is always very tasty & hot

Beautiful chicken with cashews. Piping hot and delicious.

pleased with delivery but this was the first time I've ordered from this Chinese and it will be the last. The food was awful.

Fantastic food, quick and friendly service as always, looking forward to next time!

You could tell it had been reheated. Rice was one big lump. Veg rolls so tiny . Too many onions in main meal.

Wasn’t as nice as usual and delivery was very late and food was cold

Normally my go to Chinese but after tonight not again, beef curry went in the bin meat was just fat and grizzle the sauce had no flavour total waste of money.

Restaurant had wrong postcode and food arrived Luke warm. Prawn crackers were stale. For £3.30 I’d expect perfect but they were not. A shame really as never had a problem with this restaurant before

Best Chinese restaurant in the area hands down

I ordered chicken foo young, egg fried rice and house special fried rice, i order from here regularly and they gave me my regular order of 2 foo youngs and fried rice and a house special rice, these guys are 10/10 the best around

worst food ever so greasy no taste at all and very expensive

Lovely food….very highly appreciated

Really good but a seems to be a little more expensive than before.

This used to be a fantastic Chinese food always used to be cooked with pride and taste fresh an hot lately its been Luke warm bland curry sauce watery an not thick like it used to be. If you complain they say next time ... sorry golden dragon no next time food is awful..

This is our go to chinese. We have tried a few around Swad but this is by far the best we've tried. Our order consists of duck pancakes, salt and chilli chicken wings, beef in black bean sauce. Everything is always super tasty.

Much of the meal was lovely, just a couple of items a bit of a let down, namely, the batter on the sweet and sour chicken was very thick and not crispy. The other slight disappointment was the very dry chips.

Chewy prawn crackers, pancakes for the duck we're stuck together and the sauce for the chicken and cashew was gloopy.

I’ve never had a chicken curry that colour before. Luminous yellow. Strange. Prawn crackers missing.

Wrong dish delivered, sheedded deep fried chicken we got sweet and sour crispy chicken. Some food was luke warm, prawn crackers were like paper and stale. Only good thing was the service.

Arrived cold, crispy beef was soggy, black bean sauce was salty, went straight in the bin

Great tasting food, delivered early. No updates from the restaurant though. I thought £5 for the 2 pineapple fritters was a bit pricey.

The egg fried rice was bland, the crispy chilli beef sauce was watery, the bag of prawn crackers was smaller than normal & it was barely warm. I know food costs have gone up, but having increased prices & decreased quality/quantity is a bit rubbish.

Beef in black bean was ok but lacked flavour. Beef chow mein was the best meal. The chicken balls were nice too. However, the three curries were not good. There was no flavour in the curry sauce what so ever. Just tasted like water. Added salt but that didn’t do much unfortunately. Sadly, this was the worst curry sauce we have ever had. Sorry.

it was ok... was out for delivery over half an hour before being delivered. so food was alright but not great.

Worst Chinese I’ve ever tasted the sauce was like water and didn’t taste of anything couldn’t even eat it ended up throwing it away it was that bad and the chicken was dry aswell!

Ordered set meal for 2 people, turned up cold and an hour late for how much we paid I’d expect the food to at least be fresh - chicken balls tasted like they had been hot held, noodles cold, rice cold and prawn crackers stale.

This has to be the best Chinese food my partner and I have ever had. The food was on time, lovely and hot, and tasted gorgeous. Plenty of meat in the rice and noodle dishes, sauces nice and thick, couldn't complain about anything at all.

Order arrived but was wrong , food was also cold ! Drinks were warm ….waited another hour for replacement Very disappointed to say the least very poor service and quality , will not use this takeaway again and am in two minds as to using Just Eat again after being charged £5 for delivery when spending over £20 for sub standard food

Best Chinese meal in a long while.

Food was really tasty. Loved the salt and pepper chips in the sauce. All hot and fresh. Really really nice!

Really enjoyed our food……..very tasty and plenty of it Will be our regular from now on!

Chips were dry and cold prawn crackers were stale soggy. The prawn toast was over cooked, bbq ribs were dry and no meat just fat and drenched in sauce. And rice was cold.

Beautiful hot tasty food! Thank you

40 minutes and then a 40 minute delivery window, which was missed. Food was good though.

Beautiful food delivered quickly definitely recommend

Little disappointment with the food tonight. Luke warm and the chicken chow main was lacking chicken and the noddles were overcooked .

Great tasting hot food great service

Always great service hot food and tastes awesome

Food amazing, just delivered a bit late but still hot enough.

Food was amazing as it usually is, took a bit longer than advertised and the order wasn't everything I asked for but still tasted great.

Says it’s been delivered but hasn’t. A driver said it was for number 8 but as you can clearly see it’s for number 6. Very poor, already waited over an hour, now having to spend more money on food.

Delivery and service was good but food was awful

the food arrived cold the hottest thing was the coke, 27 pound for cold food not happy

The food was awful. It all tasted old and had a funny taste to it. The spring rolls were the worst of the meal, I couldn't even tell you what was in them🤢 Wasn't overly hot when it came either. Such shame since weve never had any problems here before and usually enjoy it.

Food stone cold!! Everything soggy not edible.

Absolutely splendid. Thank you.

Order arrived on time but the joy was short-lived. Hot and sour soup had the taste and consistency of sweet chilli sauce straight out the bottle: thick, viscous and overpowering when eaten alone. The curry was thin enough to make me think it was soup - the chicken and as tasteless and the ham mushy. To top it off, three of the four dishes were cold. This was my first order from Golden Dragon (my usual delivery Chinese was affected by a kitchen fire) and will, without a doubt, be my last.

After arriving nearly an hour late (and some ridiculous excuse given when I called), the food was very average indeed. The pork sweet and sour balls were awful. Full of gristle and really overcooked. I wouldn’t feed them to a dog

Duck in pineapple sauce, very fatty & chicken chow mein, wasn’t much chicken

The food was lovely when it finally arrived alot later than advised

Food was great…. Driver was too busy chatting on his phone to even speak……. Great food…. But not a good delivery experience…

Ordered at 7:30pm and when placing the order it was estimated to be a 40 min delivery time (so 8:10 was the original estimated time). This was extended before the time arrived to around 9pm and they still failed to deliver within the timeframe. Finally arrived around 9:20pm, nearly 2 hours after ordering, and the food was cold and the drink was warm. Refused a request for a discount for the delay.

Food cold tastes like its been reheated really bad took over one and a half hours had to fetch it in end

Quite possibly the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Everything stone cold and congealed. The salt n pepper chips have no salt or pepper on them, it is just chips drowned in sweet chili sauce. My son ordered fried chicken with satay sauce and received clearly frozen chicken pieces in a beige jelly with undercooked peppers. my chop suey had no vegetables in it except for beansprouts and my partners shredded beef was basically deep fried dust. The side of sauce I ordered was curdled too, awful!

arrived far too early was not ready for it as was in middle of a job

The food could have been warmer. We still enjoyed it. Thank you.

was here ahead of time tasted really good. bit disappointed on the delivery payment even though I qualified for free delivery. but will order again if I'm in the area.

I accidentally asked for collection when I wanted a delivery, so I’m unable to receive it, sorry

it said on app 1920 to 1940 arrived at 2000 cold.

Always very good food no worries it’s always tasty and really hot

asked for curry sauce instead of sweet and sour. was sent gravy. I was left with just a couple of Battered chicken balls.

not as good as used to be. chicken fried rice very bland and also same with chow mein.

Another fabulous feast … these guys never let us down!
