The best restaurants serving Chinese food in East of England

Most of the food was inedible, really disappointed as I usually always order from here! The spring rolls smelt rotten, the crispy beef had about four pieces of beef in it, the chicken balls was salty and the squid was even saltire! Poor!

I had a lovely dinner with my family. The food and service are great! Too good, I'll come back soon.

Went with a group of friends birthday celebrations. Brilliant night

very nice man talking to us felt very welcomed

Have been going to Golden Dragon for years now. Have tried multiple chinese restaurants in Felixstowe and Ipswich and none has come close to what Golden Dragon provides. The service is good, the food is always hot and good, in around 10 years I have never been disappointed and will travel to go there. Recommend.

Ordered here a few times never had any problems and always great food until last night.... So we pre ordered our food as it was mother's day expecting to be busy with that in mind we did have an item not turn up/missing but they did send it straight away. Literally 1 minute before the driver returned with our missing item I was enjoying my meal and tucked into my last chicken ball, instantly I knew something was wrong it wasn't chicken it was a king prawn ball. I am allergic to prawns and suffer from anaphylactic allergic reaction. I immediately spat it out and rinsed my mouth I was ok thankfully but dinner was ruined and tainted. We phoned up and explained what happened they offered free food next order but there was no way this was happening. We went to the shop in person to ask why this had happened to be met with conflict and excuses. Passing the blame to a chef who wasn't even there, questioned about the prawn even though we had it in hand to show them. The owners had no remorse to what happened and offered £5 to compensate. What a joke. Until I said do you not care they gave us £20 to walk away. It's clearly obvious they are cooking chicken and prawn together with cross contamination at play. If you suffer from allergies or other dietary requirements be aware ordering food from here.

Food arrived piping hot. absolutely DELICIOUS!! Best Chinese I’ve tried in Dunstable. The service was good as they accommodated our requests. Will definitely be my regular Chinese moving forward. King prawn chow mein 10/10 Sesame prawn toast 10/10 Salt and pepper chips with curry sauce 10/10 Egg fried rice & kung Pao Prawns 9/10 Also the portions are very generous and fast delivery

Great food but could offer bigger portions

After being recommended Tins on the Colchester Vegan page I placed an order. However, there was chicken in my tofu in black bean sauce dish. This is absolutely unacceptable, cross contamination like this can cause serious incidents.

Absolutely disgusting worst chinese iv ever eaten was also charged for a special fried rice but received a plain rice was had to wait for food for over half an hour

Tried this evening for the first time, as my regular Chinese is closed on a Tuesday. I had the salt & pepper munch box and ordered on Foodhub which was really easy & convenient. The lady who greeted me behind the counter was very friendly & efficient When I entered there were lots of cleaning products I could see which filled me with confidence that they keep on top of hygiene here. The food was delicious! Full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Lots of meat on the ribs, tasty bbq sauce and a great amount of food for the price. Cannot fault at all and will definitely return.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. He reminded me of my grandpa! The food was so delicious and well-seasoned. The price was also reasonable since the portion was huge! We got “roasted duck with vegetables and an extra egg” and “braised beef brisket with potato and an extra egg”. Everything was clean and tidy.

Best Chinese Takeaway in Southend City and beyond. They are retiring soon now and will be greatly missed.

Absolutely brilliant Chinese dine-in restaurant, the food is amazing, the staff are great and the prices are as you'd expect. Recommend to all ;-)

Fantastic experience, Cantonese duck is amazing
