Food was ok good service but the lonely atmosphere is a bit difficult, lack of deserts and absence of coffee disappointing , seems like its being run down.

The food here was the best we’ve eaten in a long while. Staff friendly and efficient and the bill was very reasonable.

I have been eating here for probably around 25 years, and I have got to say, it is one of the best chinese ive had world wide, Ben is great, never to much trouble, took all my staff out for dinner here a couple of weeks ago 18 of us, and everyone loved it, couldn't recomend the place more.

Such a disappointment. We fancied Chinese during our stay in Exmouth and the reviews seemed promising. First impressions weren't great but we decided to give it a go anyway.The food was mediocre at best. For starters- the prawn crackers had absolutely no flavour, the won tons were filled with 1 tiny prawn each, and the chicken on the Satay sticks had a horrible texture. The spring rolls and the sweet & sour sauce for the won tons however were delicious. For mains we had the chili chicken (which didn't taste of chili at all), and the beef in broccoli, which was reasonably tasty, but the portions were very small. Oh, and my Coca-Cola was flat having come from a large bottle.Service was reasonable, but the maitre d'/manager was then sat behind the bar on his phone when not serving, in full view! The waitress was much more professional. The atmosphere was dreary and there just seemed no life in the restaurant, despite most tables being occupied.All in all, not a good experience sadly.

The Golden Dragon is undoubtedly the best in Exmouth. The Crispy is duck is in fact, Crispy. The seaweed is always light and delicious. The chicken is never greasy, and I've never woken up feeling heavy and rubbish like most takeaways/ Chinese. The place has its quirks. The service is questionable, the restaurant can often be awkward and you have to go with the flow. BUT I love that and I hope it never changes because it all just makes it a part of the Golden Dragon. Sometimes to get authentic incredible food, you don't also get the classic service that some people may like (according to TripAdvisor). All in all, it's an absolute winner if you're looking for a quality Chinese.

On entry there was an odd smell of stagnant water, we sat at our squashed table for 12 people that was pushed into a corner of a very large and empty restaurant. Ordered drinks, cokes were from a liter bottle that was flat and warm that had stored on the counter. We ordered food. Asked for prawn crackers and they brought out TWO SAUCERS of crackers that didn’t even enough for one each. When questioned they said if we want more we have to pay. Not a problem but not even one cracker each. We had a dead crane fly in one of the menus. We paid for our drinks then left. Really bad.

My family's gone here for special occasions for the past 20+ years. We've always had brilliant service , the food has been incredible. I'd very strongly recommend!
Had a lovely meal here to celebrate my son's 40th birthday

Been coming here for the past 30 years and it is always excellent. Salt baked chilli squid is to die for. House wines are excellence value.
