Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant in North West Leicestershire

Really friendly staff with helpful explanations when ordering. Food is always amazing, cooked fresh and ready on time. Best Chinese in the area by far!

Great place. My mate and I popped in to grab a takeaway and the place was really busy- always a good sign. The kitchen had run out of takeaway cutlery but they kindly let us eat at a table instead. Great customer service, really tasty food!

Highly recommended because, If the presentation of your food is very good then it does not matter even if it gets 7 marks out of 10 and similarly if your welcome is not good due to which you feel uncomfortable all the time then it does not matter even if the food is good.

OK we only dine here once a year to meet up with a local friend but have been doing this for the past 10 years and there are quite a few of us sometimes 6 sometimes 10/12. Sadly like many restaurants since delivery food has been introduced the sit in customers get less service and less attention it took forever to take our order the food came quickly and was ok but expensive for the quality received After our meal our table was left that long we ended stacking the pots ourselves to give a hint to the staff yet still they remained there until we instructed the staff to clear the table we weren't asked if we would like dessert so asked for the bill which came directly ? We ended up else where for dessert and further drinks very sad indeed we won't be going again.

Good food, really friendly staff, recommend.

Amazing food, not badly priced. Amazing choice. Speedy service. Lovely, familiar staff who have been there for years. Good drink selection. Plenty of parking. Love meal out with the family!

Food was good but thought it wasn't clear when asking what was what. There was alot of food items but some not so good, garlic vegetables not good. Thought lot of peppers to fill meals out not much meat. Pork and crispy beef good. I thought it was expensive overall and more than likely go too all you can eat in future. Was nice thought and generally nice time just staff bit chaotic did no what meals were what. Rang up and queried cost they over charged by 14.00 won't return in a rush.

1st time we went they forgot about our table and ignored us for nearly an hour. The second, and last time, they denied our reservation despite being shown our email confirmation so we hurriedly had to book a table elsewhere. If you want a night of disappointment, this is the place to go.

This was an excellent find for a stop between Alton Towers back to London. They couldn't be more accommodating for our party of 15 with children and adults. They took our order over the phone and the food arrived almost immidiately. Hot, fresh and delicious. The manager who took the order over the phone was lovely and so patient and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Brilliant food. Tasty bbq spare ribs. Sizzling beef nice and tender. Crispy pork chops were excellent. Great retaurant close to M1 and East midlands airport

A lively atmosphere with excellent service. Food is top quality, make sure you book your table.

The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our visit was nothing short of fantastic. I highly recommend trying their duck, chow mein and dessert toffee banana, these are a definite must-visit for anyone craving authentic Chinese cuisine in Derby!

Had to ask about part of our order missing but, apart from that, it was an amazing meal

Always great service, amazing food and friendly staff. Best Chinese in the area

Brilliant Chinese food highly recommended

Enjoyed my food but in the middle of the night the m.s.g. had dried me out - I couldn't spit! it will be a long time before I return here.

service slow, but they were very busy

Food service and atmosphere were all excellent. Haven't been for years but will most certainly be visiting again. A most enjoyable experience.

Excellent food and fast delivery for takeaway

Seemed cheerful enough and our starter was very nice, then they seemed to forget about us. On prompting, food arrived in a rush, my pork was balls mostly semi rocks. Some food was undercooked and some overcooked and all tasteless. The mains were an unpleasant experience I'll not be repeating. It was all very busy but that's no excuse. Fifty quid wasted. Go somewhere/anywhere else.

My brother and his wife ordered a set meal, the starters were excellent, my wife and myself ordered special noodle dishes which were due to arrive with their main meal, these took 45 minutes to arrive and were very poor compared to the starters

had the set meal A, the spare rib was great, sadly it all went downhill from there, culminating in some weird chicken the like of which I have never seen before, and hope never to see again

Very nice. Short wait between courses. Recommended!

Absolutely lovely staff and wonderful food.

Good food, service was quite slow and the order got mixed up a few times but was good when it arrived.

Excellent. We have never had a bad meal. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is plentiful.

I've visited this restaurant on many occasions and had some fantastic meals here in the past, but not visited for the last 10 years, the food was very nice but the service let it down a little tonight but overall I would recommend it.

Fantastic food and service. Too much rice

We ordered a takeaway and it was fantastic!! They have gluten free options and were very patient with my questions about what was gluten free! Would definitely recommend!!

Salt chilli chips are fantastic! Food all round is really tasty and there's a great atmosphere. Felt really authentic

Lovely.been here lots of times.

80th birthday party, 20 people. Wonderful night,staff brilliant, really looked after us,food excellent, will return 😀

Very good local Chinese restaurant. More like London Chinatown food rather than takeaway food. Try the soft shell crab starter.

Ooh yum Had the set menu but not the deluxe. Food crisp tasty and fresh, everything a good Chinese meal should be Recommend eat in

Authentic good quality food with a friendly efficient service.

The food was lovely, slightly overpriced compared to others. Staff were pleasant but weren't eager to move very quickly. Had no clean cutlery but the table at the side had three sets waiting to be cleared and washed 🤣

This is one of the best restaurants around for quality of food whether you are picking up for take away or eating inside the restaurant. I recommend booking early for eating in as it can get quite busy. Every single meal I have ordered here (and there have been many) has been absolutely fantastic with zero faults. I recommend the sizzling steak and XO sauce if you are eating in. Very very tasty and a joy to eat. Be warned, it's pretty spicy! They can also cater for quite large parties and food does not take long to get out to your table. Beer on tap is good quality and very tasty. Take away is available if you come to pick up.

We were visiting Donnington Race Circuit and decided to have a chinese. We ate in here, and it was amazing! The food was delicious, and lots of it, we loved the spinny circle in the middle of the table, allowing us all to share and try new meals. The service was great and we loved the pink glitter sink in the ladies 🚺 ✨️ 😜 I've saved it for next time we visit 😍

Hello everyone, I like the decoration of this restaurant, which includes art dragon eggs,big vases, mirrors, and more. Some of the tables had extenders, good idea specially when you have a big order. Parking is available for free charge,but probably they need extra space as too many people are visiting it. I advise you to book a table if it is possible or come on the opening time to avoid any disappointment. We arrived at the opening time, and in 30 minutes, it was getting full. The food was good, but make sure to ask if you don't like spicy food or certain ingredients.The staff is very friendly and is knowledgeable of all the dishes they provide. It was great that they provide a little tray with candles underneath to keep the food warm. I really recommend this restaurant!

Excellent restaurant, serving, what I term as, real authentic Cantonese cuisine. Everything is cooked fresh to order and delivered to the table piping hot. There is a good selection of dishes along with the same of wine and beer. The cost of the meal is reflected in the quality of the food.

Easily the best Chinese food in the area. 10/10

Tried to call for 30 minutes, constantly. Never responded.

Good food and service. Highly recommended.

Beautiful food but be careful to check your bill.We had extra drinks added to ours.

Visiting from North Yorkshire was watching my brother race at Donington race circuit probably one of the best Chinese I have had in a long time

Celebrated our young sons birthday here with family at his request. He loves the set menu with duck pancakes. Wide selection of tasty dishes and great portion sizes. Been here numerous times and it never disappoints.

First visit this evening, May 20th. Here for a birthday celebration. The food was excellent and served by very friendly staff

I asked for a main course portion of salt and pepper squid......OMG.......man down. Even I struggled with that mountain of food.

I have been here a couple of times and I went this evening and I have to say I was very disappointed. The food was lovely but we were there 3 hours. Other tables were left with dirty plates and in the end I got so fed up of waiting to be served I gad to go to the bar to order pudding. The tall waitress with glasses just stood folding napkins as everyone else struggled she really didn't want to be there. Such a shame.

We went here tonight and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. We had the deluxe set meal for 2 and was more than enough. It was fresh, hot and the service was amazing. The young waiter..I didn't get his name...was so polite and a credit to the resteraunt Would highly recommend here and will deffinately be visiting again.

Had some of my favourite dishes tonight, but they werent my favourite here!

Freshly ingredients !Love the food here👍🏻 and Definitely recommended❤️Very exquisite Very respectful staff members 😊Peaceful atmosphere 😗Consider coming to this very delicious restaurant😋

The most gorgeous Chinese food!! Staff always lovely and open late for takeaway. Highly recommended the Aubergine in Black Bean Sauce.

Staff are stressed. Managers are like slave drivers and it shows in the service

Extremly busy place, due to that it was very noisy (some tables very loud) .service was touch slow but that was only down to so many tables arriving at the same time and wanting food but the staff all worked well to keep everyone happy, Food was excellent . The chefs must work extremely hard, getting so much food out as the place was so busy, Well done to both kitchen staff and front of house.

Fantastic restaurant, great food and helpful staff. Went for an anniversary dinner, and would absolutely go again.

Good quality food and staff look after you

I can't fault this place for anything which is so rare in a restaurant. Amazing food, good portions, great service and ambiance. It's a 40 min drive for me but I go here regularly because it's always bang on. One of my fav resto's! Worth booking as usually busy.

Valentines meal.. I'd always wanted to visit here. Sadly, I personally found the food bland. It was very busy, so obviously popular, but just not to my taste.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Mouth watering food with great customer service, and the prices are totally reasonable for what you get. Proper authentic Chinese dishes.

Good choice of food in a pleasant atmosphere.

We went for my sisters 60th birthday beautiful food

Went for the Chinese New Year festivities. Food was excellent, not all to my taste (set menu), but excellent as always. Service was its usual A+ with the staff very helpful and polite. The atmosphere was good with fireworks, the traditional Dragon dance, and live entertainment laid on. Excellent night out, thanks to Alan and the staff, and looking forward to next years Chinese New Year.

Wonderful friendly staff, delicious food and reasonable prices

Best Chinese in the area, the food is awesome and so are the staff.

100% better than my visit was 6 months ago, THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT AGAIN 👍👍👍

Very nice place and really good food, If you go to Mr Manns, then try this place ....

Amazing food, never ever disappointed. There is nothing bad to say about this restaurant. Always top quality.

Fantastic food, amazing service and very local!! Definitely come back soon!!

Used to be excellent, long waits. Poor service kept having to ask when food would be ready and ask where the missing food was. Food rushed and not as nice as usual. Shame as was lovely

Food is lovely but is quite expensive. I wouldn’t pay these prices for a takeaway, but the restaurant experience is probably worth it and the quality is what you’d expect for a sit down meal.

Superb restaurant that we have used for years, never disappoints! Best Chinese in the area IMHO. 11/6/22 update, still the same!!! 18/11/22 another update, still the same excellent food, best Chinese around here IMHO. 😋

The food from here is always amazing. Was walk in for takeaway, advised 45 min wait, happy with this as would have a drink whilst waiting. Ordered food and drink, food arrived 35 mins later, and it was perfection as usual 👌

Last minute decision to go - rang & booked a table (Saturday evening) and glad as it was full when we arrived. Food was excellent and reasonably priced considering the size of portions. Starters and Mains with rice - glass of wine & a lager + table water £71 all in for 3 adults. Happy with that, these days! Free car parking but can be tight/limited when restaurant full.

Collected a takeaway from here last week. Really enjoyed it. Served with a lovely smile. Will be back again.

Fantastic food and service. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a Chinese meal.

Been few times last year and was very good but prices have gone up costing 100 quid for a set meal for 2 and it tasted bland very average food for way to much money it will be my last time very unfortunate as this place use to be very good

Beautiful meal would really recommend

Very busy and full, but managed to provide a reasonable service and quality of food. High price restaurant for a special occasion only.

Excellent service the food was delicious but the staff went out of there way for us

We go regularly and never ever disappointed. Fabulous food fantasticchoice, great customer service and value for money. Ambience very pleasant

Poor service all round, overpriced, bowl of veg soup like water costing a fiver, been before but last night was poor, new waiter and food for four not coming together.

Our go to Chinese in the area. We really enjoyed our birthday meal here. The Yuk Sung was really tasty and the crispy duck perfect.

The food is superb, the host went of his way to be friendly and helpful. Will be going back in the very near future and for a long time to come. Still the best place for miles.

Fantastic service and delicious authentic food. Just wonderful.

Brilliant, good service and good quality food.

Table of 7 with a set menu for 6. They were very helpful with the different order for the 7th person, making sure they didn't feel left out. The food was good (as always) and we were able to just sit and talk afterwards, with no hurry to pay and go.

Expensive for a local restaurant, food portions good, waiter really helpful, but some of the staff need to realign with the fact thier role is to serve, so a smile now and again wouldn't hurt

Absolutely love it here. Food delicious 😋

Fantastic food, friendly hosts, wonderful evening.

Lovely evening great food plenty of choice. Staff & service great.

Very friendly staff. Food was delicious and nicely presented.

Fantastic food and great service!

Great food, excellent staff and service

Food was nice but I've had much better from here. The service was terribly slow and the food in my opinion was average.

Best Chinese around this area by along way

Excellent service and food with a relaxed friendly atmosphere whilst being extremely helpful and professional did I mention Excellent food thoroughly reccomend this restaurant many thanks to all x

Poor service poor food used to be very good not now will not be back no worth the money 😢

We had one of the set meals and it was absolutely delicious. We had to ask to take the rest home there was so much food!! Best ribs I've ever had from a Chinese and the service was excellent.

Need to come back soon delicious
