The New Dragon in Dumfries & Galloway

Food was rotten not one thing was nice ordered sweet and sour chicken balls arrived like popcorn chicken 6 small bits mini spring rolls were like sausages no sweet and sour sauce can assure you I won't be back then the wait time over an hour paid 25 quid and the delivery driver had the cheek to think he was getting a tip I had to phone this place as I thought they needed directions or a map given I stay quarter of a mile if that from the front door if there was an option for half a star I do that appauling

Got the crispy beef with rice and chips Full of flavour Good amount of heat from the curry Rice cooked perfectly Chips are beautiful Will definitely be back again

Sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice, crispy shredded chicken in Peking sauce with chips, BBQ spare ribs and prawn crackers. All dishes were 5 star, roasting hot, delivered in under half an hour and for less than £30. Can't fault it in any way. Brilliant!

One of the worst chinese meals I have ever tasted. Btw I have eaten many throughout the uk and further afield so know my nosh. Dumfries is pretty good for Indian cuisine, but Chinise..???

Absolutely first class! Service fantastic,very pleasant professional attentive staff. Restaurant warm, beautiful decorated and very comfortable. Food...TOP NOTCH! My husband had a mixed grill and chips, I had the chicken chow mein (standard one)...Wow, the food was cooked to perfection. My chow mein and chips was the BEST I had ever tasted! My husband was delighted with his meal too. Fresh ingredients, large portions made to order, piping hot with a Ice Cold bottle of Peroni and prawn crackers! We will definitely return when back in Dumfries... 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food is always good. Never had anything I didn't like. Definitely worth a visit.

Always great food here and they do "businessman's lunch" type menus for fixed prices. Great value, brilliant food and exceptional service. One of our favourite lunch venues.

Food was great but had to wait ages as they forgot about my order.

Very nice Asian food and served super quick! We had dinner there two times during our stay in Dumfries. We would definitely go back next time

Second best Chinese in Dumfries, great food

Will not order again soz it was hard prawn cocktail was good main meal no salt and pepper chicken hard

Awful....! One of the worst Chinese meals I've ever had. I ordered a sizzling prawn and squid in a szechuan sauce....bland, chewy, inedible squid....don't bother as I wish I hadn't and plagued with flies the whole time e..!

Ordered a takeaway food was ready in 5 mins which we found strange,, food wasnt nice very bland went in the bin

Got a mild chicken currie fried rice food was excellent

Gave it a try on a whim. Only sit down Chinese in Dumfries. Pleasantly surprised. Food good, service decent. Don't let the decor put you off, real traditional Chinese.

Family sit in evening meal when on holiday in Dumfries.... Was like stepping back in time - in a good way. Food was fresh, clean and tasty. Restaurant reminded me of the odd time we got treated to a sit down meal of Chinese food when I was wee... - yip, 70's. Fortunately the food and recipes have been updated... no gloopy gravy here. Visited with my friend and our two twelve year olds on the recommendation of the owner of the Hotel we were staying at so hadn't read any of the Reviews. She did say "looks a bit dodgy from the outside, but the food is good".... good call. We ordered two main courses to share, a sharing platter, portion of rice and drinks. Came to £50 with tip. The girls loved the "authentic and traditional" experience..... their words! We all enjoyed very much. Oh, and the fish in the tank made the evening!

Excellent food and staff are very friendly to big portions.

Good food and not expensive. Great service.

Very bland ,started with wonton soup ,it's was tasteless,a hint of Spring onion.....nice place but both meals were just ok.....4 out of 10 ....

This place is a lovely hidden gem great food and friendly staff and very nice surroundings I liked it as did my wife

Chicken fried rice, and a side portion of stir fried vegetables was lovely, tasty, and well pticed. 10/10, will go order again and recommended. Thanx

(Ignore the account user - little one uses this account) Wouldn’t even bother with this restaurant. We ordered salt and chilli ribs - only ate one, was so dry. Crispy duck - was battered, never I’m my life have I heard the likes of battered duck but for what it was worth it was edible. Sizzling beef and black bean - beef wasn’t even cooked properly completely still pale and wasn’t worth touching. Sizzling Chicken satay - sauce was exactly what you’d expect if you watered down satay sauce. Noodles were atleast flavourful and soft same goes for the rice. The price for this was £59. It wasn’t worth it.

Very delicious, kung pao chicken was especially good. 10/10, nice spot for a place to eat. Was very quiet which ruined the atmosphere but not much can be done. Would visit agian sometime in the future

From the outside it’s not an attractive looking place and would not know it had a restaurant in the inside if you don’t go in the door. Inside the restaurant it’s quite dull and the furniture is cheap and tired. The giant fish tank with goldfish is a great feature that entertains the kids for hours. Not sure if the fish were mesmerised by the kids or the other way around. Now in stark contrast to the seating area, the food was surprisingly good, tasty and decent portions. The waiters where efficient and friendly. Prices are fairly reasonable for the portions. Will be back for more.

Food was shocking contacting local council in the morning shouldn’t be allowed to trade horrible food

Fantastic , I took my family here last night and the service was amazing. Thanks 🙏🏼

Brilliant food, lovely lady serving food. Nothing is any bother. As the servings are too big, she Always puts the remaining food in a carry out tub. Brilliant

Won tons had nothing in them and were burnt, chow mein bland and burnt. Staff nice and friendly. Shame, usually good. Probably a bad day for the chef heh?

Please watch your money with this place they add on and add-on and add on completely different prices from the menu . definitely wouldn't recommend this place conmen.stay well clear.

I've been going here since I was 2 days old. Always eat the same thing too. Pancake roll, lemon chicken and fried rice, egg toast. Still delicious almost 3 decades later!

Lovely authentic Szechuan dishes

Best peaking chicken in the toon, chicken chow mein banging, definitely one of the best in toon 👌🏼

Lovely meal as allways friendly service

If I could give this place 0 I would. Absolutely awful, service was great but food was bland and flavourless. I asked for half of a roast duck with pancakes etc.. This is what we got it smelt of peanuts which I can't eat 🤬 and was served with carrots cucumber and spring onion ( instead of leak) ive never heard of peanut duck in my life. We also got salt n pepper chicken pieces came with no flavour and too pale not even fried properly and was straps not pieces. Bbq ribs were so dry definitely frozen. Crispy shredded chilli beef. No chilli and wasn't crispy again bland. The only thing that had flavour was the rice and prawn crackers.. not happy £56 straight in the bin even my 8 year old refused to eat it 😷🤮🤬

Had a lovely meal, all the ingredients were fresh and prepared very well indeed. Small but good selection of wines. All round great experience

Ordered our food by phone. Itcwasxready for collection at the time stated. Food was plentiful and delicious. Well recommended. Thank you

Good food at reasonable prices. 👍

Food was made in a timely manner, tasted great and plenty for your money. The cheese and chicken triangles were tasty. Best peking we've had in a while too.

Good service good food Best of both

Just received my order 20 minutes ago and half way threw eating it my partner found a long hair wrapped in a clump of rice very disgusted and disappointed won’t be back.

Best Chinese in town never had a bad one yet and I’ve had a LOT 🤣

Excellent service and portions are reasonable

we are well chuffed with the service tonight we phoned 5 mins after they opened and a good 10mins after that we received our order well happy.

Good service from the lovely ladies at the new dragon food was good too.

Food was lovely restaurant staff very friendly also pricing was good also

So good to be back having Chinese lunch great food would definitely recommend going

Brilliant service lovely food 👌

Great food and staff were really nice.

Last minute stop for some food and this place is amazing. The food tasted so good. If we're in the area again would definitely return. Eat in or take out options.

Popped in for a tin of fried rice to have with my own dish at home. They are fast and good value at £2-50. Very polite excellent service

Good restaurant, excellent food and great service. Also good value for money.

Food OK but not the best I've had

Best Chinese a have had in ages

Nice place quick with order and good food

Beef was very chewy . Meal and drinks overpriced

Great food and pleasant staff made a great evening. Highly recommended

Phoned 20 minutes before google and trip advisor said they close to order, didn’t even manage to say hello before I got told last order is quarter past ten we close at half 10 with a really horrible attitude then was hung up on before I could even apologise and explain! Won’t be going back. You don’t treat paying customers like that... and as a side note maybe update your opening times on google/trip advisor and you won’t get a phone call when your shut for the evening... no need for the attitude at all! Only given one star because I can’t give 0

Always good food and service with a smile 😃

Love food from New Dragon,Best Chinese in town in my opinion,miss being able to have a sit in meal,any idea when you will be open for sitting meal?Xx

Very good food i always go there for my takeaway 😋

Awful chinese food. Is it possible to care less about the food you serve? Should have walked out the minute I saw the carpets but we had travelled all day so desperate. But really.

Visited tonight for a takeaway. Chicken fillet Cantonese was basically a tub of liquid with very little chicken, accompanied by a pitiful portion of rice and chips. Dry and tasteless spare ribs and the smallest portion of prawn crackers I've ever been sold! Complete waste of £25. Only visited because Sun Man Chinese was closed. Won't be back again.

Chicken fillet Cantonese had very little chicken, basically a tub of liquid. Tiny amount of chips and rice, dry and tasteless spare ribs and the smallest portion of prawn crackers I've ever seen. Worst chinese takeaway I've had in a long time. Complete waste of £25.

Glad we ignored the negative views and gave the restaurant a shot, we ate from the lunch time menu, my partner had beef satay and friend rice, which he said was the best he'd in Dumfries for a while, I had spring roll and vegatable curry, both were delicious, staff were very friendly and attentive, will definitely be back :)

Food great service is good and friendly

It was horrible tried it years ago it was lovely tried it 'recently it was nasty felt like money down the drain

Just had our first meal since moving here we all loved it friends as well said it was one of the best Chinese meals ever 5 Star

Been going here for years now. The best there is! Always consistent, great authentic Chinese food. 5 star from us 👍

Always excellent service and high quality food with friendly helpful staff. Great for a business lunch. Good value for money 😁

1986 called and they want their shop back

Excellent value great food and service . Lunch time special menu.

Worst Chinese thought we'd give it a try, so disappointed, won't be back , ordered crispy beef, it was like soup.

ordered sweetcorn soup( watery) wife ordered barbecue ribs (dry) obviously been thrown in fryer frozen,ordered beef with ginger /spring onion , i dont know what it was , meat grey ,tasteless , to be fair did not charge for this meal, fried rice had obviosly warmed in microwave in a bowl as was this shape when presented. overall a terrible meal

Very unhelpful after myself and family was at at a family funeral all day yesterday ordered small meal at 8.15 couldn't deliver till after 10.15 I cancelled so tried today and wont deliver because I cancelled yesterday being to late terrible attitude and service from staff other better take aways no empathy at all

Enjoyed our lovely meal. Staff friendly. Have been a few times now. Enjoyed what we'd eaten each time!

Lovely meal and very helpful friendly people can catering for large groups

Great prices, and customer service. Best Chinese food I've had in ages. Big portions too. Happy to recommend. Fabulous.

We walked into this restaurant on Sat. 20th April and first impressions were, can we just leave please. We were told by someone who lives in Dumfries that this was probably the best one in town, but as the two of us walked in the number of diners increased by 100%.The carpet is taped together, the wallpaper is peeling in parts and it is generally quite dingy with the obligatory 1970's fish tank taking up one complete wall. The menu I was handed was covered in food, for which the waiter apologised and they did not have the starter that we ordered for which they also apologised.The food when it arrived was generally OK, but the taster plate of Chinese strarters was grossly overpriced for what it contained.Overall, average and would we recommend or return, probably not.

Brilliant place for a meal & nice friendly staff

Food is good and friendly staff

Great food, good service and friendly staff

Presently surprised by how good the food was in this local Chinese. Excellent value for money.

Just been in with partner got salt and pepper chicken was very bland and chewy also ordered 2 bannanna friters thet were black in the middle both portions wast of money stay clear

Food is really nice but decor and dust need addressing, no hard to clean

Very popular very good carry out make this a popular Chinese...I find as I have done for years Parking can be a problem at times especially if your sitting in but worth the effort

As far as I'm concerned the New Dragon is on of the best Chinese restaurants in the area the food is authentic with great taste and good portions plus great service with willing staff. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our experience of the new dragon. The food was delicious and the staff were superb and very helpful. I would happily go there again. The chicken chow mein was the best meal my wife has had in ages. When I was unsure to have chicken or beef the staff member said why don't we make you both! Loved it. Thanks a lot.

My hubby and i had a take away it was nice and flavourful good price friendly staff definatley use again

Been a loyal since I was a nipper 😛 can't beat this place and never been let down or wrong order 👌👍 highly recommend by my mates as well 💥

I live just outside of terregles and have ordered multiple times from this Chinese. Just tried ordering from here to be told "naw I'll no deliver out there" yous have delivered here on multiple occasions in the past. No need for the abruptness. All good though won't be back

Amazing spices and prices ha lovely ribs 😍

Was a bit worried when we walked in here on a Monday night - the 2 of us doubled the number of dinners! Relieved when a few more arrived.Restaurant is a bit tired but the staff were very friendly and the food was nice and reasonably priced

Went today 06/06/18 as I,ve tried to go few times but always to late . So today we went for lunch before we went next door for haircut. Place lovely and clean . Staff friendly enough . I had chicken noodle soup it was ok cud do with more seasoning, wife had prawn cocktail lovely big prawns but lettuce looked a bit past it. Sweet and sour chicken best I,ve tasted in ages . Proper batter round the chicken (hate going to Chinese/fish and chip shops as they use same batter for both and it's quite different batter shud be used) 5 huge pieces lovely fat chips and loads of egg fried rice. Wife had chicken curry smelt lovely she had egg fried rice to and she enjoyed it very much. Banana fritters very good and it's so cheap £6 for a three course lunch can't complain definitely be back.

Can never go wrong with the food here. Staff are always helpful

A well established Chinese restaurant with achoice of either sitting or telephone deliveries. Great choice on the menu and I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal from here. Delivery is normally pretty quick but, more importantly, still warm!!! Staff are very friendly as well.

One of the best Chinese in Town I've never been disappointed. I love their wonderful sauce and salt and chili chips

Lovely staff. Good food. Excellent value

Nice setting at a reasonable price. Was with a group of 8 which they catered for with ease.

Inexpensive but very tasty. Good size portions too. Definitely would recommend and be back

Might be the best in Dumfries but will NEVER use it again. Shame really as have used this restaurant for over 30 years.Ordered over the phone was told 40 mins, called 1 hour after order to be told my food wasn’t cooked yet and was told another 15-20 mins. Only a simple sorry was given as it was no problem.Called back cancelled order and was told thanks.As I said it is the best in town but a small/tiny matter like this will make me never use it again.
