The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

I am continuing my trip around Helensburgh's restaurants and takeaways. I think I need my own food critique job! 😁 Have always avoided Magic Wok as it doesn't have great ķèrb appeal. However, I saw the other reviews and most seemed positive. I always judge a Chinese by it's chicken and sweetcorn soup, just to keep a consistent order. Was very nice. Chicken cashew nuts were a little salty but perfectly edible. Honey chicken was a little dry but my fault as I didn't realise it didn't come with a sauce. Rice lovely and complimentary prawn crackers. Would definitely order again.

We recently moved to Helensburgh and have been to Bintang Emas several times since we moved here, always left happy, really recommend - the menu is huge loads of choice with dishes from China, Malaysia, Thailand and more…the thing which stands out most is the flavours in the dishes we ordered, delicious and strong, and also how fresh the ingredients are and the quality of the meat and seafood - the beef and prawns especially - we love the Malaysian Curry Laksa King Prawn dish and the Malaysian Penang King Prawn Noodle, the prawns are HUGE! The soup is delicious, loads of veg, and the prawns are massive and fresh and lots of them in the soup and also a boiled egg. Also love the beef satay skewers, we always order those for starter, the beef is so tender inside and crispy outside and satay sauce delicious. The food is really good value for money, portions are big. The lady at front of house is so lovely - friendly and fun, really welcoming and chatty, always keen to chat to us and also tell us all about the restaurant and the dishes :) she always brings out lots of prawn crackers for the table and then fortune cookies at the end!

Food was very nice and was ready quickly, only thing that let it down was the sweet and sour sauce tasted more like tomato ketchup

Absolutely delicious take away tonight. We had Chicken Tikka Balti Rogan and chicken tikka masala with rice and garlic naan. The chicken was so well cooked, proper tikka recipe. Everything was so good - highly recommended.

Just finished a fantastic meal delivered to the Anchor Tavern. Great food huge portions great value. Well done Sea Dragon.

Very poor munchie box. Dry chips with the occasional shred of onion. Two small chicken balls and some very dry wings. Very disappointed as I had a much nicer one on a previous visit a year ago.

Food was delicious 😋 very polite and friendly staff also very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.

I went in and the people were very nice and the food came really quickly but it was quite expensive and it smelt quite bad inside

I expect to be a regular here in the coming weeks and months due to my work. So far I have visited twice and not been disappointed on either occasion. It’s nice to have a varied menu to keep the interest up.

Over 30 minutes of waiting on order after I got told it was ready to collect at 5pm. took order home and the chicken satay was missing. Both main meals were tasteless and the chilli chips were almost uncooked my daughter couldn't eat them. not happy with the this order at all!

The restaurant is currently closed and doesn’t look like it will be opening anytime soon

Nice food .quick service.gets buisy quickly after 4pm

To summarise this experience, one would say it’s not my finest hour. The order contained chicken balls which were slightly below mums cooking tbf but I’d recommend the prawn crackers if u got covid or smt cause they taste like the bag they come in. 5 Stars for the atmosphere, I didn’t collect but i’m sure it was aight. 5 stars

Top food and well priced unlike some of the rip of restaurants on Islay and I would highly recommend Oh and no service charge lol 💚💚💚

Sadly seems to have closed down. Very much miss the owner and his lovely handmade food. The best indian restaurant and takeway. Traditional classic dishes plus extra new exciting treats always on offer.
