Have to agree with the last review - this place has gone down hill rapidly but the prices remain high. We were regular visitors here as we live locally but have become more and more disappointed of late. The food is now average, but the staff (are they new?) and the service are poor. Made us feel like they were... More

Until recently, we were regular visitors to the golden dragon and the food has always Been exceptional. We've been twice in the last month and its gone downhill drastically with poor service and average food. Where you once were greeted with a smile and a chat, now the service is surley and poor. We've been tonight and felt like we... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2012

The general standard of the food was good and delivered promptly. Having travelled to china and Hong Kong regularly I would have expected the staff to be a little more attentive and friendly. The restaurant could benefit by having the music turned up a little louder as often you can hear and be overheard by others. The dishes are a... More

Have eaten here several times evenings and Sunday lunch. The Sunday lunch is eat all you want buffet, the selection is extensive and kept fresh. Interestingly as one item is finished the replacement is often something different so it is always worthwhile popping back to check out what is available. The flavours of the dishes are brilliant

I went to the Golden Dragon tonight for a meal to celebrate my birthday. I have been here before but it is always worth a mention. The exterior of the restaurant looks good with the appropriate decor. When you step inside you are greeted by friendly staff and if needs be you can wait in a reception area if other... More

My wife and I have eaten here three times now. The draw is the food, which is fabulous. The dining space is also very pleasant. The initial service is great - quickly shown to the table, friendly waiters, orders taken quickly and efficiently, food appears as quickly as one can expect for freshly cooked food. However, there it stops! Three... More

We love the Sunday Buffet lunch here. Have been many times and food quality is excellent with a good choice of dishes. Staff friendly. Good value for money. We will continue to eat here.

Including take aways, I've probably eaten here around 15 times and have never been disappointed. This really is quality food, the portions are just right and they don't seem to scrimp on the quality ingredients as some Chinese restaurants do. Staff are friendly and attentive.
