We ordered two curries and egg fried rice for takeaway. The curries were extremely sweet and tasted as if they had lots of sugar in them or were sweet and sour dishes. The meat was in tiny pieces and seemed like it was reconstituted. The rice was quite hard and didn't seem fried, just plain rice with a very small amount of egg in. They were such unpleasant meals, we were unable to finish them only eating a few mouthfuls. Unfortunately, when we contacted the restaurant to discuss this with them, they were unhelpful, dismissive and refused to give a full refund, only agreeing to refund the curries. We made the point that we were unable to eat plain rice as a meal and as the rice was covered in the sugary 'curry' but they refused to refund the full amount. A disapointing experience, would not recommend this restaurant and will certainly not return.

Staying locally, we saw a recommendation for this Chinese restaurant, so ordered a takeaway. I'm a bit of a Chinese restaurant snob, as I have family there, so I'm probably over-picky. Anyway, barbecued pork, a bit odd, very watery. Chicken chow mein ok, Kung po prawns basically sweet and sour, sickly and not great, absolutely no heat, chicken satay a bit dry. Egg fried rice very plain. Not recommended, but they were efficient and friendly.

It was our first time to the Happy Dragon Inn and was not disappointed. The service was really good as was the food it was just under ÂŁ120 for 3 of us and that was with us all having quite a few drinks each the meal is ÂŁ20.90 per person for all you can eat.

While I understand the price increase its a shame the quality of food has declined. Singapore noodle dish was so salty we could not eat it , the Thai curry was bland with the beef having a bit of a slimy texture. Rice and noodles good but not we will be going back .

Came as a group of 6 and had a nice meal, it's your usual Chinese fare but all came out quickly and hot. Only downside was the table we were put on was rather small, especially when all the dishes came out! Literally filled the table. (Feel sorry for the dishwasher) And the fact that each dish was small, basically starter sizes. So if 4 of you ordered chow mein each you had 2 small dishes to share. Not 1 each which was a bit odd.! But overall it sorted out our Chinese fix for the time being and would return.

Our takeaway food was delivered quickly and was hot. On the plus side we got prawn crackers thrown in for free and the beans sprouts and noodles were nice. We had a Malaysian chicken curry 
Kapitan..which wasn’t really to our taste. Too sweet really and pretty small pieces of tasteless chicken. On balance I think if we were to try this place again we’d probably try something that was a bit more standard and something that we know. Not my favourite but perhaps I just chose the wrong thing.

I would not recommend anyone with an allergy, intolerance or food preference eats here. I’m a vegetarian and politely informed the waitress that due to this I’d like my veggie spring rolls brought out separately. She brought me a plate which she said was vegetarian, but I’ve learned not to trust this. I pulled apart one of the rolls which was definitely vegetarian, so you’d think the rest on the plate were. The second one contained meat and I didn’t realise until I’d eaten a bite. I’m not usually one to make a fuss out of being vegetarian but the fact that I had politely informed them of my dietary needs beforehand made me angry. I haven’t eaten meat for 24 years and now thanks to this place I have. It just makes me think that they do not take requests like this seriously. I ended up throwing up in the toilet. They offered me my meal for free - very kind as I didn’t eat anything . They also spent the rest of the meal passing plates of meat for the rest of my party right under my nose which I thought was pretty inconsiderate. The service was also poor, the portions were ridiculously small and they bring everything out on one plate even if people are sitting at different ends of the table. 100% avoid this place as they don’t seem to take food safety and cross contamination seriously.

We came here for our friends birthday because she loves it here and were pleasantly surprised. We'd had take away from here before which had been lovely but eating in is a whole new experience. There is a set price for the menu but that encouraged us to get whatever we wanted and share. The portions aren't a rediculous size either they are small which means you can have lots of different dishes or you can just ask for more. It was the perfect size for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the deep fried ice cream for dessert and it was amazing!! It was so much better than getting a take away. The price didn't put us off because if we order a chinese take away for anywhere is can cost up to ÂŁ40 and even then we don't get to have everything we want. The smaller portions are also good because it means you're more likely to try new things for next time you go.

Only 1 waitress was on service so we had to wait half an hour between finishing starters and ordering our main meals. The owners were busy doing takeaway orders for most of our stay, and it seems they really didn't care about how long we were waiting for. The starters were the best part of the evening, which is disappointing. When we did finally get our mains they were mediocre at best - noodles were boring and rice was okay but nothing special. Didn't bother waiting another 20-30 minutes for ordering our desserts so we left. Our stay was 2 hours for starters, an in-between and main meals - which is not acceptable for a table service restaurant. Would not recommend anyone comes here unless you're getting a takeaway and/or enjoy overpriced oriental cuisine.

I was in party of four dining on Saturday evening. We've dined here on numerous occasions. In general the food is good value and the staff pleasant. This evening the restaurant was full. The service was extremely slow and the staff were not very attentive. The 'first course' dishes did not arrive together and the pancakes for the duck were cold and hard. Two of the main course dishes were forgotten and had to be re-ordered. We would have complained had we been asked how the meal was. As the service was so so slow we decided against complaining and just wanted to finish our meal and leave.. The main problem appeared to be that the staff were concentrating on the 'take-away' side of the business almost ignoring the diners. We were all extremely disappointed. We may give this restaurant a 'miss' for a while and wait for an improvement.

Lovely food, great service, very reasonable. Always friendly and helpful. We always get our takeaway from here and have never bee disappointed. We have eaten in and the service is always very good.

We went with our normal practice of each person ordering their favourite dish, with the obligatory doubling up of rice and noodles. I asked that the order is enough for the party. When the food arrived the portions were barely more than a couple of mouthfuls, for example the prawn satay dish consisted of 3 prawns. When questioned the waitress said you can order as much as you want. The food was of mixed quality, average at best and did not warrant the price paid. For example the aromatic duck looked like it had been put through a blender and the satay source was poor quality. The other dishes were on a par with other Chinese restaurants, chilli beef, lemon chicken etc were all ok. Service was Ok but when I asked for a repeat of our first order due to the miniscule servings items were left off. I get the concept of eat as much as you can but when you are given a saucer as a mains plate and have to reorder everything it becomes quite a tedious experience

We went to the Happy Dragon after visiting the Eastbourne airshow with our friends and family and were happy to find friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

PensĂ© que iba a dar a este lugar donde ir. La Ășltima vez que me llegĂł la comida era horrible! Esta vez la comida estaba bien, pero la camarera era tan maldita grosero! ! Ella mal mi pedido, pero insistiĂł en que era mi culpa! ! Fue su falta de comprensiĂłn de inglĂ©s! ! No puedo creer que me trataron como eso! !

Just returned from the happy dragon,the food was ok if every other Chinese in the country was closed,the restaurant had 3tables eating so not busy so was flabbergasted when told on 3 separate occasions by the waitress to hurry up and order because it was busy,absolute rubbish service,if you don't like people don't work as a waitress,also had to send the cheap coke back as it was flat,I don't usually listen to reviews and like to judge for myself,,,well I have to admit,,all the negative reviews are true,,save your money and buy yourself a microwave meal for one,,it will have more flavour and your microwave will give better service...

For a set price,you are given a very comprehensive menu to choose from and the dishes are brought to you in the normal way. You can have as much as you want as long as you eat what you order. We have spent several evenings at this restaurant and the whole family has had a great time.

Won't be returning, was not satisfied :-(

Went in for dinner with a couple of friends. Had starters which were sub standard & the mains were awful ! Noodles were not properly cooked & was served in a puddle of grease!Crispy beef , well , where was the beef ??!!Sweet & sour dishes were full of sugar & nothing much else !Black bean tasted entirely of something else & was as thick as glue!Rice was all lumpy !Complained to staff who didn't understand what we were saying , the lady just kept repeating what we were saying as she just didn't have a clue due to her lack of English , asked to speak to someone else who could understand but no one could !! The lady was very loud & very rude !Unbelievable, they really need to get staff who can speak & understand English for a start, especially at front of house !!Will not be returning as the whole evening was ruined!

I have never reviewed anything before, in fact I have joined trip advisor just to warn people about this place. The food was that bad. The hoisin and sweet chilli sauce were obviously watered down. Then there were the 'crispy prawns with creamy sauce' this turned out to be battered prawns with mayonnaise squirted on top - they were disgusting even without the weird mayo. The prawn toast was rotten, actually gone off, it tasted like sour milk. The seaweed was tasteless. The crispy beef was mostly hollow. Everything was covered in cheap batter. The satay sauce was completely artificial, who knows how it was made or what was in it but I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't any actual peanuts involved at all. I finally tried my luck with a Tom Yum soup, again disappointing, it was way too concentrated and hasn't been made properly. I've never tasted one like this before. You could taste that everything was made with the cheapest ingredients possible. And the batter was like chip shop batter. The price for this quality was ludicrous and the service was mediocre to bad. I wouldn't go here again if someone paid me to.

Freshly cooked great food, ordered many starters, all arrived well presented and tasted great. The kids then ordered more starters! We moved onto Peking duck and pancakes, we waited quite a while for the duck and pancakes- veg and sauce dipped and eaten by the time the duck arrived- staff noticed and bought out more. Onto mains, unless we stated, the dishes came out for individuals and not for sharing. A great idea to save on food waste. The kids then ordered more starters! All bought out with no problems. Then puddings! Yup the kids had 2 of everything. The drinks were a bit steep. ÂŁ2.80 for a pint of 'coke' definitely not a known brand....All round great food, just ask for water.

Great food a big selection. Never had a bad meal. Good for eating in and take away. Nice size portions well cooked and prepared. We use this place regularly. Take Aways always punctually delivered.

Bought a takeaway, arrived quickly and the driver was very friendly, this is where it ends though I'm afraid. Very disappointing food, the sweet and sour sauce was really sour. The chicken balls batter was really soft, the spare ribs were very fatty. The food just wasn't very good. We have had food from here before and we thought it was ok then, but today the food just seemed really poor quality. We used this takeaway because we were at my mums in Pevensey, but to be honest our takeaway in Hampden Park is far superior. I wish I had brought a take away from ours and brought it over.Sorry Happy Dragon

We've been here many times as live locally but haven't been for a few months. It was a Thursday evening and not especially busy, approximately 5 tables. The food was pretty good as always but is served in fits & starts, we'd almost finished one starter before another arrived. The portions are small but that suits us as you can order several, so that's the sweet part. The sour was the service. The waiter (shaved hair with black rimmed glasses) was abrupt to the point of rude, no smiles, no interaction, unwelcoming, just take order and put food on the table. There was a girl working with the takeaway delivery lad and bar who helped with the waiting on and off, she was lovely. They would have been better keeping the guy behind the bar and dealing with deliveries and leaving the girl to wait the restaurant. I think when you pay to visit a restaurant, the food obviously has to be good but the service and way you are treated is just as important.
