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!

Awesome food yet again. We always come here when we are home. The food is awesome and the service is excellent either pickup or delivery 👍

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.

Prawn Kung po Sweet and sour chicken hong kong style were both tasty

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.

Visted in the night. Were quite rudely greeted by the staff. Told us in a condescending manner that “we need to order one main dish per person” even though restaurant wasn’t busy. We wanted to order multiple sides and try out different dishes as we read good reviews. I was quite surprised when they asked us to leave if we didn’t want to order main dishes for everyone at the table.

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

Thanks to the waiter everything we needed was provided for and we didn't wait at all and the food was good and the prices were affordable. The place was really calm and peaceful I would recommand 100% thank you

Chicken balls are poor, beef meal was good. Expensive in comparison with others and prices increased again. Shall be trying the other Chinese carry out shop next time.

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.
