This was the worse curry I’ve had!! It was like a jelly like consistency and didn’t have a curry taste! The rice was gorgeous!!! The chicken balls were not greasy but were over cooked and the salt & pepper chips were overcooked and BLAND!! Will not return!

Don’t quite understand refusing orders less than £10 on card? I understand there are charges for card payments, but we are in 2024, and surely you lose more by turning customers to your nearest competitors 2 minutes up the road?

An update. It is true that good things don't last forever. Sorry Hong Kitchen, but bye, bye. I'm sure you'll be absolutely devastated to lose my custom after 10 years. It's a shame that your steadily increasing prices don't match the food, which has taken a nose dive. On 2 consecutive orders, food has been, at best, unpleasant and at worst, inedible. Crispy seaweed, not the most expensive item, I'll grant you, however when you buy something, you at least expect to be able to eat it. For some inexplicable reason it appeared you emptied half your sugar bowl into it. That headed straight for the bin. Next offender. Noodles. Now come on, this is a basic plain chow mein. It stank. It stank my entire kitchen out in fact. God knows what you managed to do, but whatever it was, I don't think I want to know. Another straight to the bin job.

This place has gone to the dogs. Crispy seaweed, for some inexplicable reason, had half the contents of a sugar pot mixed into it 🤮 They couldn't even get plain 'chow mein' noodles right. They had a weird smell about them, so they went straight into the bin. Pork balls in batter, chewy and tasteless. Fried rice, unpleasant. I mean if a Chinese takeaway are unable to cook even rice and noodles, that pretty much says it all. AVOID.

Worst chinese I have had, and we have ordered lots! Gone downhill so much since last time, spent £31 for this which was a waste. Chicken chow mein had no beansprouts wnas was dry, Prawn chow mein had them but was full of a sauce that was not mentioned when ordering. Chicken and blackbean sauce tasted horrible, pancake roll was full of oil and greese. Lemon chicken had hardly and sauce and was tough as anything i had to be careful didnt break any teeth. Will stick to The Willows who by far do the best in all of Torquay.

This take-away is truly the worst, just step inside and see the delipidated décor, broken and missing tiles, filthy walls and random stickers with various messages scrawled across. What is a concern is the new owner has left the same hygiene certificate up with the old owners name, go figure! The standard of food is rock bottom. By law under the trade description act a Chop Suey should contain the following, the meat of choice, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, beansprouts, Chinese lettuce or greens such as broccoli and or spring onions and mushrooms if you're lucky. This is a traditional dish with lots of different vegetables, here they serve some kind of mush. 3 ingredients, the beef or lack of it and beansprouts with some slimy sauce. Please I am warning you avoid this awful take-away and pay a little extra for a real Chinese meal.

DISGUSTING!!! Ordered 1/4 duck but had hardly any meat mostly skin. For one of the most expensive meals on the menu we were extremely disappointed. Spoke to the owner who clearly didn’t care and told us that’s how he received it. Appalling attitude towards what was a regular customer. I will never use this Chinese again.

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)

Don’t let any negative reviews sway or influence your decision to go to or use Alan’s restaurant and takeaway. The food is excellent. If you have lived in average market towns in central England over the last 25 year or so years and tried to find a good Chinese takeaway you will know exactly what I am talking about. We ordered a range of dishes and they were fresh, light, well cooked, with lovely flavours. You would have to go a long way to find better.
