This is another chinese restaurant my family frequents, we order the authentic chinese dishes and they are always prepared very well. They also offer peking duck which most Chinese restaurants in London don't. They prepare lobster, crab and fish very well. Pretty good value for the money. The seafood won't break your bank either. The service is a bit iffy, when they are busy, you won't be seeing much of your server. Service is usually fast and friendly when the owner is tending to you. The younger staff there don't seem too friendly.
Contonese Chinese food comes from Hong Kong and, thus, is modified for a European taste - the food here has been, again, modified for a Canadian taste. Additionally, much of the food here is prepared beforehand, except the vegetables that, thus, is undercooked (not too bad), but the batter-covered shrimps were reheated. We orded a spring roll as an appetizer that had spent some time in a micro-wave oven (outside warm, inside scalding hot!). Then, it didn't arrive until ten minutes following the main dish. The lone waitress, sitting low behind the counter, had no interactivity with customers unless it was essential. It seems to be standard practice to advertise 'Sichuan & Cantonese Cuisine' but, having lived in Sichuan for many years, it isn't served here. There are many Chinese living in London - I wonder how many come here ... few, probably because they know where to find a 'Chinese' restaurant.
Great food, fantastic presentation. Despite the outside the inside isn't bad at all. Only place I go for Chinese in London (the food is great and I live 30 seconds away).
We have been eating at Golden Dragon for over 5 years, every 2 months or so. Always fresh, plenty (they don't skimp on the shrimp, scallops, crab), great service - but - pick up is the best way to get it fast! If you're in a hurry for delivery like some of the comments here - order a pizza!
Fantastic food, a little slow to come out, they deliver and it is very good.
