Dragon Inn — Restaurant in England

Updated:

Thought I’d edit my review since I am unable to review a place twice.

We loved it so much last time so we decided to order from Dragon Inn again. Everything I said below still stands (the visual menu is still the game changer), but the most important thing is - Patrick remembered me when I spoke to him over the phone!! One of my friends is vegetarian and can really fancied eating certain vegetarian foods, and Dragon Inn managed to accommodate us!

Nothing more to add apart from the fact that it’s still the most amazing Chinese takeaway in town. And I’ve taken more pictures this time!

—————————————

The best Chinese takeaway I’ve ordered in Leighton so far. Patrick, who took my order, was very polite and clear on the phone. Right, let’s talk about why it’s the best Chinese takeaway in Leighton, in my opinion.

Firstly, their website has a photo of each dish. It’s brilliant for those who aren’t familiar with Chinese food or would like to try something new! I had a big-ish meal a couple of weeks ago and my friends who aren’t familiar with Chinese food found this feature very helpful.

Second, the food was FRESH. Have you been frustrated because your crispy chilli beef wasn’t crispy? Well, we ordered quite a bit of crispy dishes and they all turned out crispy.

Thirdly, the freebie. Most Chinese takeaways give customers either prawn crackers, fortune cookies or coke as freebies. However, they’ve given us another started (crispy chicken strips) as I think Patrick guessed that we loved chicken and crispy food!

Finally, it’s cheap. Check out the meal; it was only around 80 and it was delivered to ours. Winner.

Highly...

If I could vote 0 then I would. I'm highly disappointed after reading some good reviews.

Overall the Sunday buffet was okay but limited. It was all very cold, when another table asked for the food to be mircowaved the staff member took the plate then made a rude comment to another member of staff.

I wasn't impressed at this point, but the food was edible. On my second plate I cut into raw chicken. I discretely told a member of staff who took the plate to the kitchen as I was hoping they would quickly fix their mistake and remove the uncooked food.

The Chef came out to me and explained that the type of chicken left it pink. I've worked in kitchens cooking many different types of food, never should chicken be pink and juicy like this.. unless it is raw. The staff and Chef refused to take the rest of the chicken away. We left immediately.

It's a highly dangerous situation for raw chicken to be served and after feeling incrediblly ill now myself I would strongly advise against visiting this restaurant.

EDIT ** I would like to comment that the reply from the restaurant isnt true. We was not offered any other food. I said I did not want to argue despite staff constantly coming back to to argue the point and making us feel very uncomfortable as we discretely told them about the raw chicken not wanting th scene that they then...

We are visiting family in the area today who are members at this restaurant (you have to be a member to be able to eat here for some reason, maybe the set my expectations to high). They have had a few mixed experiences but we were willing to give it a go.

The food was great, although a little pricey compared to others in my own experience. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time, was hot, and tasted great. Unfortunately the staff were exceptionally rude, and not only to our table which was a great shame. It left the atmosphere very uncomfortable. The staff were actually laughing at us after we asked whether the drink delivered to our table was correct as it did not appear or taste as expected.

If it was up to myself, I would have paid for the drinks, got up and walked out at this point. However the group wanted to stay and give them the benefit of the doubt. The person who came to our table to collect payment at the end of the meal was so eager to take the money from our hands that I was genuinely left shocked.

Im afraid we won’t be returning to this restaurant but hope the staff learn from this review to ensure other members do not have the...
