Golden Dragon - West Dorset

On holiday and staying at Eype. Phoned and placed order for collection at They do not deliver. Called there at all ready for me. Food was still hot after the short drive back. Thoroughly enjoyable meal (crispy duck, S S chicken balls, shrimp chow mein, spare ribs and egg fried rice). Very tasty- highly recommended. only thing I would not do again is egg fried rice nothing wrong just too much food!!

After being disappointed over the last year with our regular Chinese take away, we decided to try the Golden Dragon. Sweet sour pork balls are my favourite. Our old take away have substituted pork meat chunks for pork mince, which I found that both the taste and texture were horrible.Prior to ordering, I phoned the Golden Dragon to ask about the meat used. Spoke with a very pleasant, helpful lady and was reassured that they use whole pieces of pork not mince. We ordered a selection of dishes and told our order would be ready in mins. Arrived and food ready on time.The pork balls were up there with the best I've ever had. Chunky, really tender pork meat with the lightest of batter and lovely sweet sour sauce. The Oriental combo was delicious too, as was everything else we ordered. The last time I enjoyed a Chinese meal this much was in a restaurant in Chinatown, London. Thank you

Ordered a wide variety of dishes for a group of 6 people, every dish was poor. The crispy chilli beef was nigh on inedible, the 1/2 peking duck came as a container of crumbled rubbery duck skin, no meat to be found. I could continue to list every dish, but to sum it up… I won’t be ordering again, a waste of £130!!

Blander than bland! I’ve never in my life experienced such a terrible plate of food…I would say, chef taste your food before serving, but this is no chef! Awful, sorry but you need to sort it out, waste of my “cash only” money.

Tasteless but friendly staff. As said by many others this place is declining with every visit. Its my new local, I would usually go to the other Chinese but I often simply can't be bothered to walk up there when this is opposite my house. However, I will be doing the walk from now on as the other Chinese is just so so good.
