"Whilst in the capital for the fringe, my friend i decided on having some chinese food for lunch..Wish we hadnt!! Came across The Golden Dragon, looked lovely from the outside, very dated inside...Not a great selection on the menu the daily specials board, seems to have been the same daily specials for quite some time, going by some of the photos posted by previous diners... we decided on chicken satay fried rice, sweet n sour chicken boiled rice, portion of prawn crackers, we didnt have any starters, 1 diet coke 1 small glass of water... the food wasnt that great to be honest for the extortionate cost, the satay was tasteless chicken was quite rubbery.. The rice arrived in small silver dishes, was actually very stodgy, like it had been over boiled... we ate what we ate asked for the bill.... £53!!!! the rice wasnt included in the cost of the chicken dishes, seriously must be the dearest rice in scotland, there was literally 3 spoonfuls in each silver pot!! 3 young lads at next table all had rice dishes, no starters a portion of curry sauce chips, also a beer each, they're bill was over £90!!! Certainly wont be rushing back to Golden Dragon next time i'm in Edinburgh!!"

The food was incredible and service very friendly. They were very helpful with my allergies and were happy to cater for me. We had the sweet and sour pork and it was amazing. Highly recommend

beautiful place to eat a Chinese (hongkong) in edinburgh city. this place is quiet and clean. the workers are helpful and recommend which food is better. I find a bit pricier, but enjoyed overall.

Food was OK. Only had two dishes plus prawn crackers with two small bottles of beer. Bill came to over £50 which include 10% service charge which we consider a rip off. Will certainly not be going there again.

We visited this lovely restaurant last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The place was very clean and spacious, service was super friendly and efficient and the food was fantastic. I'll definitely go back!

The only positive thing I can say about this restaurant is the 2 lovely girls who served the food had amazing customer service skills. The food was very poor, I don't think I have ever eaten such poor food in a Chinese.

I love my Chinese food but unfortunately this place for the price you pay isn’t worth the taste . Travellers beware very expensive place to eat For example in ireland I’d get 2 starters 2 mains for about 25€ But here for one shared spring rolls and 2 mains was 64£ so covert talking about 70€ so be aware when going in this place

the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been! I go there all the time for meals and travel from glasedgow- because it is better than any other for miles. my friend, who never ate Chinese food was taken from me here and he, how the food is delicious! never had a bad eating here, christine (the owner) and the rest of the staff are the nicest people they will ever meet, and I am honestly so happy that it is open again.

I had dinner with a friend in golden drachen and it was great! I said with a wonderful disgusting suppe, then she had praised much deep roast chili bark, one of my favorite meals and undoubtedly one of the most delicious portions I ever had. the service was relaxed and took some time until the meal arrived, but that was good of me, since it was obvious that every meal was freshly prepared the staff was very pleasant and helpful. my only complaint was that they automatically pay 10% service fee in the bill, but the predominant majority of the city center restaurants do this in these days. I'm looking forward to my next visit.
