Golden Dragon - Wiltshire

I have had 5 orders delivered to Ludgershall in the last month or so. Have known about the Golden Dragon for years but didn't realise they delivered. Despite the bad reviews I thought I would take a chance. I am so glad that I did. Every meal has been piping hot and delicious. Probably the best Chinese food I have eaten since Lee left the Hong Kong in Ludgershall. I think I know where all my Chinese food will be coming from in the future. It seems that people only review when they want to moan about something.

Sadly I have moved on after 3 years with deliveries from this place. I got fed up with cold food and very long wait for delivery (which is charged extra, The food was getting more and more salty. I was also told on one occasion, they had run out of ginger!!!! Not so good when its part of most of you menu! On a high I can say your delivery lady is lovely, But that is it!!!

Really terrible service and mediocre food. Ordered at 6.15pm to be told there would be up to an hour wait for delivery. 7.45pm I rang to get an update on the order to be told it was cooking at the time. The person on the phone was rude and couldn't provide an ETA. 8.10pm order has arrived, no discount/ complimentary dish provided. Order was missing a dish. Phoned again to be told the missing dish would be sent asap. Again, person on the phone accused me of lieing about the lead time and said that no discount etc. Would be provided. Total order arrived at 8.35pm. Food was mediocre and could not enjoy full meal together. Would not use again.

Tatty, Cold and just GRIM The lady serving was very nice, but was really preoccupied by her 3 young children that were behind the counter and in the kitchen. She was serving customers at the counter and taking orders and money, but also assisting in the kitchen (didn’t see her wash her hands) she also didn’t have hat or apron. The cook was wearing an old grubby t-shirt, also no apron and no hat. The whole place is just well past it’s best, and the food was just meh! The food, well, it was all just brown and tasteless. Probably the worst take out I’ve ever had! The sweet and sour chicken in batter tasted and looked like it was bought in frozen and deep fried, tasteless and not even crispy. All 5 dishes I bought were just below average, were brown, uninteresting, tasteless and utterly forgettable. As for having 3 young and uncontrollable 3-5yr olds running around the kitchen, it’s just an accident waiting to happen! The place is grubby, and the waiting area was **** freezing! The fan heater was blowing cold air, in November. It looks like it needs a good and thorough clean and update! I won’t be going back, ever!

Good Chinese takeaway, the food was good and not too greasy, their hong kong style sweet and sour chicken was delish! I would say that their portion sizes are a little stingy when you order chow mien though. Delivery was very quick and I paid over the phone by card which was really helpful as most places seem to be cash only.
