The Dragon Chinese Cuisine in Swale

Great take away. Nice staff. We drive about 5 miles to this one, although there are closer Chinese shops

My favourite restaurant/takeaway. Amazing food and always pleasant staff

Can only comment on Take away as haven't used restaurant for a long time. Take away is very good but a bit on the pricey side. Our orders which are usually quite large have always been correct.

First class food, first class prompt service. Absolutely delicious food, probably the best Takeaway in the area. 😋

Food tasty lots - what more can you ask for.

Went as a group of 8. Drinks expensive, juice £4 a glass, server walking around with Morrisons juice bottle. An Alcohol drink was not far off the same price, but for someone who doesn’t drink alcohol or like fizzy this is the only option. Every dish that came out only catered for 7 people. Meaning 1 person from our group always missed out, until we ordered another one, which took a while to arrive or to even get someone’s attention. Only allowed to order one thing at a time off the dessert menu, once eaten if you ask for something else its meet with a look of disgust. Some staff very rude didn’t say anything, slammed food on the table & walked off, as if you was an inconvenience. On a positive, one young lady was friendly & polite & food was nice.

Our 3rd visit and fast becoming our favourite takeaway on the island. Can highly recommend the char sui pork chow mein.

Great Chinese for food gald their back missed it

01795660260定台好服务好价格公道吃饱喝足都是一个价，天热有空调。天冷有热气东西又好吃，员工很热情接待对客户嘻嘻哈哈说话总带微笑

Good fresh food, good value. Good service.

LolExcellent meal at a reasonable price. Preferred the buffet .

I have been coming to this Chinese for around 20 years now and it never ceases to impress me. It’s so good that it’s ruined all other Chinese meals for me as I automatically compare them to The Dragon. We have celebrated countless birthdays and taken many people, both locals and visitors here for dinner. Everyone has always been extremely happy with their experience. Even my 80 year old grandparents enjoy it and they’re notoriously anti-takeaways. There is nowhere on this God-forsaken island that is more special than here. I live in London now but The Dragon is somewhere I always return to when visiting my parents. I love you and your food, please never change. I implore everyone to order from here. I cannot see how you could be disappointed. P.S. the mandarin ribs will change your life.

Best Chinese we have tried. Wouldn't go anywhere else now! Always great food! 😊

Take away Food very Poor, lady behind the counter very rude. Threw most of it away. Waste of money. Won't be going there again.

Great restaurant. Really good food. And very fast and very friendly staff.

Just ordered a take away from here for the first time and can honestly say we have tried a few and this is the best one on the island thus far , super quick service, food was piping hot. 5***** from us 💗

So disappointed called up to make a booking for 13 people we was told we would be split on two different tables because they are short staffed well there’s lots of people crying out for weekend work older teenagers begging for cash in hand work but nope they won’t employ anyway they actually was happy for us to cancel our table because they would not let us sit together further more we was the only ones in the restaurant it was completely dead!!!!!! Food was ok they waiter kept getting the hump because asking for more curry sauce because it wasn’t enough overall poor service

My friend and I are here on business and will be in a hotel for 7 weeks here.. got a bit of cabin fever so decided to venture out for tea tonight and it ended up the best decision. Decided on set menu A and it was all incredible. Back home I normally stick with my favourite Chinese takeaway as I end up disappointed by others and end up comparing. All these dishes were to die for. I've never had chicken and sweetcorn soup before but I was pleasantly surprised it's delicious 😋. Will definitely be adding that to my orders in the future. All dishes top notch. Staff really friendly and accommodating. Will be back before we go home

Really the best Chinese we've eaten for years. Really quick when ordering nice people and my 2 little ones liked looking at the fish in reception

Absolutely loved thus restaurant. We had the two sharing menu for £25 each. Fantastic value and basically as much as you can eat, but no doggy bags for leftovers Stops over ordering and much less waste. Brilliant idea. The deep fried coconut cream balls are a revelation absolutely delicious Definitely going back and recommend to anyone who loves Chinese food

Without a doubt the best Chinese takeaway I've tried in both Sheppey and Sittingbourne. Food is always consistent, hot and prepared for collection quickly. Haven't had a bad experience here - won't go any where else!

Two of us for a Meal-rice and noodles were fine ,the crispy shredded chilli beef was Luke warm brittle and tasted burnt Returned the dish and said this really isn’t good and explained why -no offer of a replacement no apology no refund just told will go in bin 😂 Male waiter /manager quite surly and appeared miserable !

Rice and noodles were lovely the chilli beef was warm at best and rock hard and tasted burnt -told the waitress who showed no interest at all no apology or an of a solution or alternative

Food was nice however waited over an hour for my collection as place was packed with people due to it being new years eve, will try on another day to get a more realistic idea on waiting times

Recently bought a takeaway,and the food was okay.

Excellent buffet menu, lots of tasty options and great value. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Food was delicious and drinks were not overpriced. Staff were polite and friendly.

Visited many times over the years , high standard of service and food always well presented and delicious .

Excellent meal here for a Birthday celebration, huge portions and served hot. The beef in my oyster sauce dish was flavoursome and tender, delicious chow mien with that distinctive soy wok taste. Excellent meal

Great meal as always...celebrating pre 60th with family

Was really looking forward to coming here to meet up with family and for a birthday. We had 3 children 1 nearly 3 years old and at the start the staff were lovely but after a while they became anxious and overbearing and the level of hospitality dropped considerably. Disappointed with the attitude of the OLDER staff and at the end I asked for fortune cookies and was told NO and I also asked about shots and was also told NO by an older gentleman member of staff. We spent nearly £250 here and expect more from staff especially when most of the tables were empty but maybe that explains why tables were so empty. Choose better staff and people will feel more welcome and want to return!

Best Chinese on the island and the takeaway is very fast. Always professional and food is guaranteed to be delicious every time

Visited Dragon Palace on Saturday 11th June 22. Disappointed is an understatement, haven’t been here in a long while but my god it’s really gone down hill. A party of 7 we weren’t allowed to have a lazy Susan in the middle of the table as there was only 7 of us & not 8 ! Come on the place wasn’t even busy , this meant we all had to reach over each other for food . Had the £23 per person menu this has now been restricted to how many dishes you can order according to the amount of people eating. Decor is drab & needs a complete overhaul, I think the fact that apart from our table the place was empty by 9.30 says it all . Such a shame this place used to be heaving .

Only an average Chinese restuarant quality was missing

Best Chinese on the island I think it's the most expensive Chinese too but its the best so I don't mind

Good food but no online menu?, it isn't 1985.

Food is great, they have a very fast service. Can't fault them.

Really like this Chinese, we only order from here. Food always taste good, hot and it's cooked quickly.

Had an excellent meal here last night, £23pp you get roasted duck n pancakes, mix starters, soup and a choice of 4 main dishes, you can order more if you finish a dish. Great portions, from wok to table so nice n hot, full of flavour. This is the only sit down Chinese cooked to order on the island and may it continue as so many Chinese restaurants are buffet and don’t compare to this. They also offer A al carte. Superb!

Lovely sit down meal my only recommendation would to be prawn toast separate we had someone with an allergy and they then couldn't eat from the plate. Pretty much a bad mum moment not saying but luckily enough it was split between two plates and she ate from the other.

Ten out of ten fantastic food 😋 great service highly recommend 👌

Food was HOT and cooked to order. We when for À la cart, good choice of food for the price. When for the duck and starter then full on for the many dishes for main meal. Good selection of drinks too

Food is ok but attitude is not. Very rude woman telling me off as I was picking my take away up and had my dog with me. Told me I should I left my dog in the pub. The place was empty and I was the only customer. It took 30 seconds to pick up my food but she said I should have waited outside! There is no sign saying dogs are not allowed and if it’s a food & hygiene issue then she might want to revise the basics and tell the staff to stop eating food with their fingers in the kitchen. You have just lost a customer because of your stinking attitude which was totally unnecessary.

I wish I could give them a -10 on a review. 1. This is the worst Chinese food I've ever tried in my life. 2. Staff was quite unpleasant. 3. Service was revolting. 4. There is a service interruption. 5. The employees don't even comprehend the instructions. (We stated clearly that we do not eat meat, but were served meat and were changed after another complaint.) 6. The menu is misleading, and when we requested the staff to correct it, they had no idea what we were talking about. And we ended up paying twice as much. 7. Food was insipid, and we felt sick after eating the soup. 8. When we expressed our experience, the staff was quite disrespectful, and one of them even told my wife to shut up while pointing a finger at us, and kept telling us to pay and leave. 9. The lady at the cash register was yelling at us until the owner arrived and intervened. 10. We discovered a flaw in the pledges. We travelled all the way to Kent in the hopes of enjoying a pleasant journey and a good evening meal, but we ended up destroying it with an event we will never forget. I don't normally post negative reviews, but I couldn't help myself because I want customers to know what they'll get if they visit this dreadful establishment. If you're hoping for a relaxing evening, stay away from this restaurant since you'll wind up wasting money on the worst night of your life.

Four of us first time clients great service food was great will go back soon

Having had a nice meal here recently we decided to treat ourselves again. The restaurant was very busy which in the times we are in was great to see. We once again opted for the £20pp set meal, prawn crackers, duck n pancakes, mix starters, soup and choice of 4 main dishes. All were excellent. We washed this down with a bottle of house white. The food was excellent as was the service and the restaurant had a real buzz about it. Excellent

Nice meal, shame the table turntables have gone. They made it much easier with the buffet

Had steak and chips take away and it was perfect thank you

Really lovely food....... Albeit a tad overpriced.

No been here for many years, was a regular under the ownership/management of Charlie Lamb. Here’d mixed reviews but decided to give the place another visit, the restaurant was quiet busy on our visit which was good to see, we were greeted and seated promptly, given paper menus, one was all you can eat (with limits I must add) the other Ala carte, now as I said at the start under the management of Mr Lamb the menus were encased in proper menu covers not just printed on A4! The restaurant is obviously going for a much more seat,Order, eat, leave route. We opted for “all you can eat” and a bottle of wine, food came promptly duck with pancakes then mix starters then soup and then our 4 main dishes. The food I have to say was of very good quality, hot, reasonable sized portions and very flavoursome and for what you pay good value. To sum up, this restaurant may not be aiming for the more high end diner as once did but for a plateful of Chinese of good quality at a reasonable price you can’t go wrong.

We had a lovely takeaway last night …..the food was amazing …fresh and beautifully cooked …we couldn’t fault it ….just amazing beautifully tasting Chinese food….really loving friendly nice professional staff too..we will only ever use you.

Good food reasonably priced, nice and friendly staff. Nothing to fault really.

Quick takeaway on way home ,very nice 👍

Best Chinese on the island. Food always hot and tasty. Take Away service very quick and always receive a good service from the staff .

Excellent food and lovely services will keep going back 😘

Fantastic service great value for money food was really good highly recommend you try this restaurant

Quickest and best Chinese takeaway in the area

Noodles in the chow mein were burnt so the whole dish tasted of bonfire. I think expensive considering a whole dish was inedible.

Food always good. Friendly staff. 👍

Since Moving to Minster on sea I have had Many take aways From The Dragon absolutely the Best Cantonese Food I have tasted on a friday and Saturday evening there is a Long line of people Down Minster Road Try there crispy pancake Rolls Wow Fabulous. Beef chow mein Melts in your mouth. Thanks to the Team From Jim

Got a takeaway. Service good and food quality as good as usual.

Would the name Robinson be engraved? Drowned at sea as they were fishermen. Father and son were in a lifeboat.

Great food reasonably priced friendly staff

The food was not good... Will never go again.

The best Chinese takeaway i know food is always top quality .

Always lovely food and nice friendly welcoming hosts highly recommend

As a person who loves Chinese I can not recommend not getting a takeaway from here. Me abs my partner stayed in leysdown having a relaxed weekend that was well needed. After drinks on the Friday night, I love nothing better on a Saturday with a minor hangover, ordering a Chinese it is my ritual. Having had this Chinese when we spent the weekend just before COVID I was really looking forward to it and didn’t mind the 20 minute drive to sheerness to get it. Got home, dished up all ready for Britain’s got talent, tucked in. And threw it in the bin. Never have I ever even having a rare few bad Chinese’s threw one away. The watery taste, the off smell and sloppy mess we had was not worth the 35 pound I had spent. And like I said I have had a fair few bad ones. Ended up driving back that way and had a burger kings instead. Absolutely livid!

Good choice of food on the buffet menu. Friendly staff.

Well firstly menus was not very well laid out. Staff ok but have to say there is no atmosphere. The chillie salt pork ribs, prawn balls, mini spring rolls nice, but beef curry was tasteless no hotness at all. Beef was chewy, noodles were tasteless and starchy I worked at at noodle factory and now about noodles

Really enjoyed my meal. My friend is wheat intolerant and they made every effort to ensure he was given the right type of food.

Managed to get a table on a Friday night just as we had arrived in sheerness for a week's holiday. It was booked for 8.30 but they rang at 7.45 to say they had a table free. Staff very attentive and extremely friendly. We ordered the wrong bottle of wine but they were quick to replace it without charging for it. Food was delicious. Loved the atmosphere. Well worth a visit!

Allough a tad chaotic as in only one person taking the orders for the 4 tables in the restaurant, the food was delicious , I would definitely eat there again, we booked at 7.00 pm & the poor fella waiting was rushed off his feet, so I'm not sure whether more staff come on later into the evening , but as for the food we had every dish was lovely

Very good meal tonight. Fab service and excellent value

I have to say,this has to be the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever visited and eaten in! Come on guys! It’s your livelihood,it’s so drab,not very welcoming at all. We were seated,then along came a few prawn crackers,you know most restaurants give a basket! No! Just a small plate with a very on. We ordered. Service was quick,I ordered barbecued ribs, what came was ribs with this red sauce? I take it was sweet and sour? I thought Ok,they were Ok. Then this chicken satee came,which I thought would come on skewers,but didn’t,that looked Ok. Then next came chicken chop suey now this looked so animic and also arrived was the stir-fried mixed vegetables which looked like the chop suey! Now the only good dish that came we’re the Singapore noodles,but other from that,visually it’s was awful,I like Chinese food for its taste and it’s colour! This had neither,I don’t think much pride was put into these dishes, and the Chinese roast pork! It was slice pork with this red liquid poured over it. Now if this is the best Chinese on sheppy,then don’t go!

Not good hairs in dinner. Manager was nice enough but didnt want to take responsibility and staff were miserable

Since I was a child we have been getting takeaways and having meals at The Dragon, the service and quality of the food has never faltered. Their deep fried icecream is fantastic and they perfectly accommodate large families/functions. The staff are polite and courteous.

Good food and excellent service.

We always enjoy our meals here , be it celebratory or just an evening out . Wonderful meals , and friendly service . We always book in advance to avoid disappointment .

Queuing and order colection is badly organised but food is good as always

Great food that is always reliable. A regular treat for my household. Friendly efficient staff

My family have been using this takeaway and restaurant for years. It's the best chinese on the island and no other Chinese comes close to it

Lovely food and excellent service

Good food, attentive staff but gets too noisy for me

Food lacked flavour and very bland since changing staff and cooks they have in my opinion gone from best to worst takeaway on sheppey, which is a shame as you could always rely on their dishes

I had the misfortune of visiting the Dragon Palace recently for a family take away (ordered over the phone). Paid for and picked up the food. When we got home we soon discovered around 25% of our ordered and paid for food wasn't present in the bag. I checked the rest and found most of the meat dishes to be raw. I called up to see if they'd resolve the issues, and was barked at down the phone in an agressive gibberish. I then turned up with my bags of overpriced rubbish and was told that I hadnt ordered the missing items... I asked the woman to check her records as id paid over £60 for this displeasure so far. She agreed they had messed up. Then told her I'd rather get my money back and go somewhere I'd have less chance of contracting the corona the woman on desk went mad! I ended up threatening to call the police over the fact of her effectivly stealing from me! I then after lots of swearing got my food all remade. I won't be returning to eat here, ever. I hope others don't either!

Had only been once before and wasnt that impressed, however this time was lovely, its a relaxed atmosphere which is lovely. Good food, plenty of it and lots of choice, will be going back

First time having a meal at the Dragon Palace, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious so I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who fancies a Chinese meal on Sheppey.

Great food good service .and Lovely to see mr lamb .

I have been there for quit some time now, wonder if they change something as it doesn't seem as good as it was before...

Got a takeaway & it was delicious... wide menu variety, which was always appreciated

Not impressive. To be honest I was expecting more. Food is very much average, no much soul in it, no "message" from the chef, no personality. And the atmosphere not much chinese or engaging in any way. I hope they put a bit more effort as they seam to be otherwise nice people and kind with customers.

Review submitted - I was not impressed!

Took the Mrs and daughter last weekend, busy but not too busy to give the same excellent table service and keep the food and drink flowing!

Good authentic food. Very friendly and polite staff.

Good quality, friendly service. We went there with other members of the family and had a great meal. We shared a whole range of dishes. There was plenty to go around and the price is reasonable.

Back at our favourite Chinese Restaurant this evening with the family. We live in Norwich and this is our 15th visit in 20 months!!!Staff are friendly, prices are reasonable and the quality of the food is always consistently very good. We love the ‘buffet’ menu (food is served to the table so not a buffet in its usual sense’). Duck pancakes, soup, then a whole range of more delicious starters. Mains is a choice of dishes to share. You even get dessert as part of the price, though we are usually very full by then. Charlie, Ray and the team are fantastic.See you again soon

Good food in the restaurant and takeaway always busy and some prices are a bit steep

Always the best Chinese on the Island.

Vegetarians not really catered for very well

The set meal is great ! Always spot on 👌
