Golden Dragon in Torbay

First time we’ve used Golden Dragon for probably decades, decided to try after getting a menu through the door. Amongst other things we ordered Ribs with BBQ sauce and fried rice and chips & curry sauce from snack menu, the ribs and fried rice were dry NO BBQ sauce, we got a large bag, but a tiny tub of curry sauce, the ratio between chips and sauce was ridiculous, so we basically paid £4.50 for Chips! We also ordered Chicken and pork with Garlic and BBQ sauce from specials menu, this was also DRY with NO SAUCE. In addition to the tiny tub of curry sauce there we were 2 other tiny tubs of sauce (the same sauce in both tubs) but we didn’t know what sauce it was as there were no labels and the flavour was unidentifiable. Beef in the chow mein was a bit sparse and for me was a little on the dry side. Sauce is an integral element of Chinese food and all the food we ordered was DRY which spoiled which would otherwise have been an ok Chinese takeaway.(NB I would have sent my comments the Golden Dragon for their response but there is no email address on their website)

Great food, our favourite Chinese in the area. Food is delicious, always amazing service.

Food is normally good here I use them more than others but tonight the chips were over cooked and dry and the chicken was burnt and chew. Think they are having an off day

lovely Chinese.. lovely fresh order

lack in flavour in all dishes. there was white bits in the BBQ sauce. Curry sauce &fried rice had a weird aftertaste. Salt and pepper box isn't worth getting no flavour at all. will not be ordering from here again.

delicious food will definitely use again

big portions well cooked will be using a lot more

food was lovely and hot and very tasty.

Ribs all bone and chewy meat.prawns very rubbery

Food was excellent as always. There was a delay in delivery which was fine as I asked for ASAP, so it is what it is. The weak link is Just Eat who didn't update the delivery time and then reported it as delivered when we hadn't had it, resulting in us wasting the restaurants time chasing.

I would never eat from here again it was disgusting

Order never turned up, said out for delivery and then put as delivered and still nothing turned up, ridiculous as there food is great but probably wont be ordering again.

great service ..food lovely and hot

delivery driver a lovely person

food was really good and very hot

Best Chinese I’ve had for a long time. Nice and hot and plentiful. Added some rice and easily enough for 2 meals

worst food I have eaten in my life and I'm a foody I eat at a lot of places and this place well there food was vile couldn't taste anything it was all completely bland over cooked and dry and tbh I am convinced they sold me food from the night before and still 3 days later no refund

As always, absolutely flawless, easy saturday night in dinner, i've been enjoying golden dragon's excellent food for almost two decades to my memory now, and when i'm low on energy and craving food that makes me feel happy and satisfied, this is my place to go, i can never get enough of the chicken balls and the egg fried rice, and absolutely love the special chow mein with sauce, just fantastic.

Food was late, and chicken served in the vegetarian soup. Quality was ok but had better. Overall £36+ not well spent considering a vegetarian was served meat

Food overall good the meal for 1 was very disappointing though apart form that enjoyable

over cooked. Not really sure why you would put rice in a polystyrene floding container and not rap it up. so that all the rice fell out in a big mess into the bag

Have ordered food from the Golden Dragon many times and it is always very good. I would always recommend them .

food was over cooked and cold when delivered. no satay sauce on the chicken satay starter, lucky I ordered an extra pop

Food quality wasn’t good, won’t be ordering from here again, only ordered since no other place was open

Totally dissapointed. Ribs were bone dry and inedible, chicken satay was the same. Chicken chowmein was soggy and had no chicken in it. I reported to just eat and nothing has been done to rectify it. I was poorly on Mother's day so thought i would treat myself and having never had a bad meal from here befor i decided to order from here.. they are usually VERY good..i just got unlucky ..i personally won't use again.

excellent quality food, arrived hot. polite delivery person. I recommend, fully this chinese takeaway restaurant.

Food was cold and over cooked worst experience of Chinese food I don't recommend anyone buying from them.

Great food & great service! Food was delivered piping hot & was delicious

The food was tasty, and notes actioned. The order was delivered on time, and portion sizes were good.👍

Best Chinese the food is hot and tasty wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Old dried reheated chips, easily worst chips ever had, had to drain lots water from both omelettes . Won’t use them again unfortunately

Came early and unexpected. The food was filling and was quite delicious! So happy with what I ate. Definitely ordering from here again :)

Food was Luke warm, greasy and with little taste. Was supposed to be my birthday treat. Very disappointed Delivery lady was lovely though

The food was excellent and the delivery was great thanks 😊

Food was delicious est delivery time 19:50 to 20:10 arrived at 20:50

Do not use awful quality with sauce missing and cold. Requested a refund but have been ignored

Excellent service and good quality

Great food, tasty, hot and on time.

Excellent food, quick and very friendly atmosphere, value for money, highly recommend 😃

The food was excellent and the delivery was amazing. Thank you.

Delivery was on time and driver was polite. However, the food was cold, the prawn crackers were stale and the chips looked like they were from yesterday. The rice was cooked well but the curry and beef wasn’t very nice. Our first time ordering, wont be ordering again.

it was on time however took an hour to come

Excellent delivery. On time and quite a distance to go but the food wasn't good. The rice was overcooked and soggy and the rest tasted old. If I was to guess I would say left over and heated up again.

Lovely as always but the order came much sooner than my estimated time so I had ti rush back home. Otherwise thank you so much!

This is my regular as it’s normally so good. Not tonight unfortunately. The duck was soggy and fatty and the prawn crackers stale. Disappointing

Was all cold and missing satay sauce

Food came 2 hours late and stone cold send it bak and was refused a full refund as they sead I received my order I didn’t staff were rude on phone and no respect I will not use this place no more as I was a loyal customer for years

Just Eat driver was a no-show so the owner delivered it in person. Really excellent chili honey beef and perfect hot & sour soup. Yummy dinner.

Place order at 7pm, eta 8.15pm - 8.35pm. rang them up and was told it was being bagged up now. 2 more phone calls and it finally turned up at 9.54pm food was cold. I had one very hungry upset wife needing to leave for a night shift at 10.30pm. Bad experience this time round.

Really good food, had a bit of a wait but food was still delivered within the time they allocated.

The meal was cold. The chips inedible. The coconut rice was banging and the prawn Crackers were lush but everything else was really poor. Won't order from here again

Food was hot and great quality!

Food was excellent lots of it very tasty will order again

half order missing buy the time we got the rest the rest was cold

Delivered hot and on time. Delicious!!

Again great food. Highly recommended

Great service and great food for price

Fairly good. Mixed balls were delicious. The set dinners for one were huge but mostly rice. All tasty despite being a bit too salty. Would order again.

BBQ Spareribs had limited meat on them, Tofu was in a flavourless sauce. Chips, Rice & chicken chowmein were ok. Took 1 hr 30 to arrive.

Delicious food.great service.thank you.

Had food many times before This order was off poor quality Won't order again from here

Excellent as always thank you 😊

Food nice and hot, cooked to high quality! Wouldn’t order from anywhere else.

The food was amazing and the hot soup was to die for, thank you

Lemon chicken wasn’t hot and the sauce served separate which just tasted like lemon squash warmed up. Rice was tasteless and so over cooked. The rest was ok, not worth the money we paid at all.

Excellent Chinese food, good service

They said 40 minutes it just under , good service , food was nice , nice delivery chap ,

Arrived right on time and it was still warm. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Absolutely fantastic food. Very friendly and prompt service.

Not very nice at all portions were not great either

Much better than some of the 5 star review Chinese takeaways! Great food, service and value for money. Have had many take aways from here over the past few years, this is always our go to for Chinese.

Food was ok sauces very watery and food was cold

Food was two hours late, because the driver delivered it to the wrong address, by the time I'd finally received my food it was all dry, chewy and tasteless, probably one of the worst things I've ordered and i wreckon I would have had a better night eating a leather jacket ngl, highly recommend you don't eat here and go somewhere else instead. Only good thing was the curry sauce and chips and nickys is 10x better if that's what you want

Best Chinese takeaway in Paignton. Never disappointed

Regularly order our Chinese Food here. Always very good.

Golden dragonhave never disappointed yet

Excellent.Always Enjoy the Food .

I've always ordered from here extremely lovely food, But tonight I ordered my usual, chips were hard and sweet and sour chicken balls both tasted like they had been reheated! Very disappointed tonight 😠

Amazing food as always and great service. Can’t fault them. We always look forward to this when we order.

Great food lovely and hot and fast delivery

Pancake rolls lovely but the egg fried rice had a very strange taste.

All noodles and not much else. also very salty. Not up to the usual standards rd.

Lovely food as usual Would love a freebie after all these reviews of mine lol 😆

Lovely food as always, delivered early , restaurant phoned me to ask if I wanted it early, great service

Great tasting food delivered hot and early. Also great value

The food was warm, tasty and we all loved it. It was much better than any other takeaways in the area, including KFC and McDonald's. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Chinese food. The service was also exceptional, with the phone service responding quickly and being very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Food excellent, a tad more expensive than my usual, but you get what you pay for and it was all absolutely delicious.

Everything arrived cold. The bbq sauce does not taste like bbq at all

Food was good and plentiful will definitely use again

Food was great, and the portions were decent. Will definitely order from here again!

Best Chinese restaurant around

Excellent, and delivery really quick. Thanks

This is our main place we order from - always great food and always on time

Regularly eat from here x food is always lovey x staff always friendly

Order was left at wrong address, didn't wait for an answer at the door just knocked & left! Thankfully the people was honest & called me with my number on the reciept as I had already paid by card! I couldn't leave my home as I have young children home! No compensation for the cold food I eventually got, terrible service!

Very enjoyable. Highly recommended

The salt and pepper box was amazing!! Really did enjoy it first time trying . Was little late and fairly warm when arrived but think delivery driver got lost

Good was good until I found a fly in my food. Me and my daughter wasn't happy as had to through food away.
