The Lucky Dragon in South Lakeland

Tried to call in, and was out on hold for 5mins and then the guy cut the call without warning. Turns out he cut the call because the closest time for collection would be 8pm (2hrs away) and he didn't want to inform us of that. Quite lousy for a collection only 'restaurant'.

Called to order for collection, guy who picked up the phone first hung up on me then said we can only pick up food at 8pm, I called at 6pm! Useless

Very tasteless spent £45 quid cash ! Everything tasted watery no flavours in anything , as for the chicken balls well these was over cooked hard but also not even chicken balls more like some cheap chicken nuggets from a certain store ! I would have expected from such a beautiful area the standards would have been high ! Even Gordon Ramsey would be shocked !

The best chop suey ever very tasty value for money excellent all round great service ate from here 4 nights running was that good highly recommended

Best take away around. Always plenty of veg in dishes. Worth driving to.

Chinese takeaway in Ambleside. We went for the set dinner for 2 which is only £25. (Cash only mind!) Spring rolls were proper size and full, very good. Ribs decent size and meaty. Chicken sweet&sour was pretty good, as was beef in black bean. Both with reasonable amounts of meat. Rice was really good with plenty of shrimp and pork in. Very quick service. There doesn't seem to be any way to order online and as we had no phone signal, we just popped in, ordered then went up the road to the pub for a quick ale before collecting. Takeaway chinese can be very hit and miss as you've paid for your food and taken it, before you get to see what you've been served. This was pretty good. Certainly better than the other Ambleside offering. Good value for money. We ate every single bit of it!

Fantastic food and great service!

Very nice food. Lots of choice on the menu. The food was tasteful with plenty of meat in the dishes. Prawns large in dishes. My only issue is the cash only system they have.

Tues night, 7 pm and it's packed.....the team soon sorted everyone out and we were off home by 7.15. Crispy beef/noodles/rice. All spot on. Will be back.

Hmmmmm.... I came here many years ago and had such an amazing Chicken Curry; alas it’s nothing like that anymore, change of Chef I fear... still... not a bad experience at all. Pretty standard Chinese food (unlike my visit many years ago). Like all take aways it’s “incredibly overpriced”

Had two takeaways so far in my 7 days stay just across the road at the brilliant thorneyfield guest house B+B .Best take away ever. B+B/ Take away combi go well together. Well done both

Food was delicious Very long wait for Take Away

I nipped here for a take a way while I was was staying local and it was a good one. I had veggie spring rolls, stir fried mushroom with garlic and egg fried rice. It was very tasty.

Quick service, food was piping hot and the special curry had a good mix of fresh ingredients. Curry sauce could have been a bit thicker and spicier, but really enjoyed it. Worth a visit.

Our third time in Ambleside and our third takeaway from Lucky Dragon. Superb as always. Placed order by phone, ready on time when I arrived to collect. Delicious food. Reasonable pricing. Strongly recommend stir fry pork with ginger and pineapple. We'll be back.

Bland, watery and tasteless food We complained and were told as we had eaten some they couldn’t refund!? We had to taste so to see how bad it was!

Good tasty food (Singapore noodles and Kung Bo) and decent quantities at reasonable price

Kind and friendly staff, reasonably priced lovely food!!

Phoned in the order to be told it would be a 40 minute wait which was ok, I arrived in 15 minutes only to see people placing orders in house they would be 10 minute wait and all got there orders before mine are phone orders put on a delay Food was ok but far too much spice some of it was in edible I won't be returning

This is not a chow mein. Wet, sludgy, super noodles.

Comida excelente para llevar, los mejores precios de todo el pueblo con raciones grandes y deliciosas, ir es un deber si estás en la región de los lagos y tienes hambre. Hay unos bancos fuera de una iglesia al lado del restaurante para poder sentarse ahí y comer.

I ordered a couple of portions of salt and pepper chips here and they were great. Very generous portions and the chips were nice and crispy with lots of flavor. Will definitely call in here again. Please note that they only accept cash, so come prepared.

Exactly what you’re looking for in a Chinese takeaway- really tasty food, 5* hygiene rating, quick service and good price! We ordered food for 2 people for tea which came to just less than £10pp. Food was ready within 10 minutes of ordering on a busy Saturday night in the middle of summer! Do note there isn’t much space inside to wait so on a rainy day we would recommend preordering or bring an umbrella to wait outside! Also remember it’s cash only!

Best Chinese food ive had in year tried smothing different and it was amazing as always highly recommend the takeaway the best in the lakes.

One of the best chinese takeaways. The food is really good and always piping hot.

Generally tasty and good value. Cash only

Excellent service lovely staff food very nice and tasty good price would recommend

Ordered a big order on the phone to this place after arriving to our staycation location, despite the big order they were very friendly and didn't forget anything, only issue was that we had to pay in cash haha but luckily I had brought quite a few large banknotes with me. Food was as good as you expect and nice servings, also got lots of the fried rice crisps, a nice late night takeaway.

This place had been recommended by a couple of friends in Hawkshead so we gave it a try. First class Chinese takeaway. The noodle dishes are highly recommended.

トムヤンクンと炒飯は不味い。しかし、酢豚と野菜炒めはとても美味い。中華料理を注文するのがおすすめ

Everytime we go to the lake District, we come here guaranteed. One of the best Chinese takeaways about. On the one way street in Windermere, guy on counter dead friendly and welcoming. Been here today. Was bang on👍 special fried rice is up there.

Excellent takeaway - probably one of the best Chinese we’ve had. Good flavours, freshly cooked, lots of veg and piping hot. Only takes cash but didn’t put us off or the many other customers. Totally recommend if staying in Ambleside.

Good food, speedy service and good value with generous portions. Worth knowing that it only takes cash.

Good quality food, very tasty at very reasonable price and good size portions 👍

Really nice Chinese . Sweet and chicken Cantonese style . Was good different vegetables compared to back home

The best Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had! Staff are always friendly, we order to collect and it’s always ready on time. Piping hot and great prices!

Good food and friendly staff. Just remember this is cash only.

Wow. The food is great. Crispy chilli beef is my favourite. But honestly all the food I have tried is great. Don't get a greasy kebab. Get food from here

Takeaway Thai Red curry ...better than a proper Thai..steak in garlic sauce, also stunning...thankyou, you have bought back my faith in Chinese Takeaway food!

Salt and pepper chicken was just breadcrumbs with no chicken in, sad times for me when I got home to eat my take away and there was deep-fried bread crumbs and soggy veggies only :( won't be coming back ever!

Very disappointed, the chicken curry was so watery , chow mein far too wet and more like a chop suey. A new take on Kung Po , too much pepper in Singapore chow mein ....Spicy Ribs were good though

Lovely food, the Chow Mein was awesome,actual vegatables in with it & not just noodles to make it look like you are getting a lot as most Chinese Take Aways do in South Cumbria, The Spare Ribs are the best value for money & are loaded with meat.,no gristle or fat on them & realy tasty. Very friendly staff too, especially the young local lad on the counter. My Favourite local Chinese Take Away now & i drive all the way from Millom as i would rather by quality food.

A tasty takeaway, served on time. Thank you!

Best Chinese food I av eaten in a long time wood highly recommended

Got some nice food from here. Prices were reasonable. Only problem is with parking which is a problem across the town.

Fast speedy service and delicious food. Will be returning again soon.

Went in and ordered takeaway, was ready within 10 mins on a Saturday night. Food was really good. We had the crispy chicken in sweet chilli sauce. Would definitely order again if in the area. Takeaway is cash only and collection only.

Quick service, excellent food with crisp fresh vegetables. Huge portions, would recommend. We had the set meal for two and the takeaway kindly allowed us to swap the ribs for chicken satay as not to fussed on ribs.

We popped in for a takeaway in our first night on holiday - were not expecting a lot from the exterior, but the food was really surprisingly good. All the standard dishes, reasonable portions for the price, and the salt and pepper beef was delicious...

Good food, balanced out but prices are Pretty steep. The food tastes good with a balance of flavours. I will visit again but the prices are my main concern, we bought 2 mains with 2 egg fried rice and it was £18. Anyway it’s good food and I recommend having dinner from here.

Solo efectivo. Cash only! Good food

Lucky Dragon gives a great service and great food. Cash only. Call and grab a menu then order by phone, usually ready for pick in 20 mins.

We have used this a couple of times and food has been great Good value for money and speedy service. Unsure if they deliver but nice and central for picking up

Significantly improved since last year. Happy to have given it another chance. Very nice soups and tasty chow mein. Would recommend now.

Eaten here 3 times in the last week. Service excellent & some of the best Chinese food I have eaten Highly recommended.

Moved from Ambleside to Windermere but the food from LD is well worth the short drive. First class with great service, highly recommended

Not be going again that's for sure, bland, prawn crackers & chips were like days old.

It was shut on a Saturday night at 6pm even though it was supposed to open from 5 . No reason why on door. Went to the one by the BP garage which nice

This used to be the best Chinese Takeaway ever. Now its absolutely shocking. Had over an hours wait to eat the worst food ever. We spent over £70 on cheap nasty ingredients but atleast we got to play spot the meat. Mixed Special Kung Po...

Great food! Came here on a recent weekend break and was not disappointed! One of the best (if not the best) Chinese takeaways I've had

Food stinks. We wanted vegetarian food. It was late, so most restaurants had closed. So we picked this Chinese takeaway. And it was the worst Chinese food we have ever had. They accept only cash, which is really stupid in the post COVID era.

Great Chinese, our new local, got takeaway from here twice. Both times food was delicious- thanks!

Very poor Chinese, tasteless food that has been re heated…. Even the RICE!! The only thing decent was the prawn crackers, everything else was shocking!! Don’t waste your money

top quality food, cheap by tourist prices and quick as the fast jet trainers flying around these tranquil, peaceful valleys that makes a visit to the Lakes such a delight !

Great food reasonable prices would definitely recommend

Arrived last night and decided on a takeaway, walked in loud English guy behind the counter,mmmmmm I wonder I thought, and I was right,got back to house opened food,burnt smell,salt and pepper king prawns visibly black and burned, chop suet tasteless and watery,special Cantonese watery...

Amazing Chinese take away, always busy and great service 👍

We've been visiting this take away for years it always makes our Christmas, the foods exceptional very tasty great service and value for money, Thanks for fab customer service from Wayne, Chung Hey Fat Choy

Food was very tasty however what wrecked the whole experience was the teenager who was bagging up the food,was very sharp when he was serving us and heard him swearing when he was walking into the kitchen.

Took my order. but closed the shop before time, so i could not collect. I lost 40 pounds here..

Let me know when the big mouth kid who was bagging up the food has left.Then I will come back and spend my money.

we had a large range of their dishes all pretty good and flavoursome. we definitely eat from there again.

Possibly the best Chinese I've had. I ordered special green pepper with black bean and chips rice and curry. Great quality food and service to match. Would definitely order again.

Highly recommend this place, well cooked, good quality food. I ordered special green pepper and black bean sauce, and chips rice and curry. Very tasty, would order again. Totally agree with the review that said 'could be the best Chinese I've had'!

No complaints about this meal from us, friendly service - ready when said it would be and tasted good

Everything was watery, tasteless but spicy at the same time. One of the worst ones I have experienced. They messed up the order and we ended up with missing items. Really disappointed as it was fairly pricey for a chinese

Was blown away by the authenticity of this take-away, took me straight back to my time studying in Beijing back in the 70's. Absolute class

Nice Chinese food. Good local takeaway

Prawns hard and rubbery over cooked. Fried rice not fried. Small portion of salt and pepper chicken.would not return. Rude customer service

Finger licking. Definitely will go back if in area again.

Great value, great tasting and quick service. Thoroughly recommend for an easy takeaway night in.

Standard. Fairly decent food and service.

By far the best Chinese takeaway in the area, has been consistently good for many years. Tried several others within a reasonable distance and they didn't match up.

Tried this place as staying round the corner and thought I would get an average Chinese takeaway. Boy was I wrong! The food was delicious!! Had a bit of a wait to order and collect but definitely worth the wait. Chicken King Bo was amazing. Staff friendly. Would definitely go back. Possibly one of nicest Chinese take aways I have ever had.

Great food, friendly service.Really bust at the take away and little or no chance of getting through on the phone to order in advance.Mind you, queues normally mean that the place is popular and that you have chosen correctly.Enjoyed our take away - prices slightly higher than we are used to.Would go here again (and probably will this week).

Nice Chinese (and Thai) food 👍 Can get busy early evening so best if you book ahead early. I also really like that the when they're busy, the Collection time they give you when you place your order is accurate 👍

We had a starter of duck pancakes which were very tender and perfectly cooked. The mains were great and the hoisin sauce which came with the food is now one of my go tos.

Staff brill quick cooking food pending how busy they are food really nice

Great food. Good price. Note this is cash only.

Just ordered my first meal from them. Superb. Quick service. Good sized portion and very tasty.

With almost all restaurants in Ambleside taking bookings only, and others have a waiting list of more than an hour. Getting a fine Chinese well portioned family meal for almost half the restaurant prices, is an like an oasis in Ambleside!

Superquick & fab food, thank you 👍

Well priced and tasty food. Cash only so take cash with you.

Have ordered from here before on previous trips to Ambleside and on Sunday, after a day in the sun and an early start we just fancied a takeaway. There was an hour wait but it’s worth the wait. The food is fresh and tasty.

Food absolutely amazing very friendly owners. 👍it's a brilliant idea helping adults with severe learning disabilities adapt to life back in to the community after some testing and positive times throughout lockdown.Jack groves and little brender they're a little prawn crackers but armless bless them!! They will chopstick anyone for a chicken oriental I remember when Jack was busking he was Singafor special pride rights my n*gg#r 👍👍👍👁️❤️ ewe long thyme

It's expensive as you'd expect from a venue in the lakes. Sadly the food doesn't quite live up to what I'd hoped. Portion sizes are decent, but you'll find better quality further away from the lakes

Special and King prawn curry was far too watery. Too many onions and not enough substance. Egg fried rice was pretty low on egg and bland also. It was OK, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Ordered sweet and sour prawns. Stated as being fried in a light batter but once opened they were just plain prawns with no batter. The prawns had no taste and the carrots weren't cooked and tasted raw. Won't use again.

Food was good, and fast, but forgot to put the prawn crackers in the bag as too busy with some other bloke they were chatting to. So not great service wise.

Perfectly acceptable takeaway, reasonably priced and reasonable quality. Timing could be an issue as gets busy but worth the wait. May not be the best gourmet quality Oriental food in the world but let’s be realistic… we’re in the middle of the Lakes not Chinatown. Nothing much wrong here… tasty food at a price for people who want wholesome filling and tasty food at a reasonable price.
