The Lucky Dragon - South Lakeland

Chinese takeaway in Ambleside. We went for the set dinner for 2 which is only £25. (Cash only mind! Spring rolls were proper size and full, very good. Ribs decent size and meaty. Chicken sweet&sour was pretty good, as was beef in black bean. Both with reasonable amounts of meat. Rice was really good with plenty of shrimp and pork in. Very quick service. There doesn't seem to be any way to order online and as we had no phone signal, we just popped in, ordered then went up the road to the pub for a quick ale before collecting. Takeaway chinese can be very hit and miss as you've paid for your food and taken it, before you get to see what you've been served. This was pretty good. Certainly better than the other Ambleside offering. Good value for money. We ate every single bit of it!

The food at this restaurant is excellent with a wide variety of options on the menu. The dishes are flavorful and have generous portions of meat. The prawns in particular are large and delicious. The only drawback is that they only accept cash as payment.

Quick service, food was piping hot and the special curry had a good mix of fresh ingredients. Curry sauce could have been a bit thicker and spicier, but really enjoyed it. Worth a visit.

The food was bland, watery, and tasteless. When we complained, we were informed that because we had eaten some of it, they could not refund us. We had to try it in order to understand just how bad it was.

Ordered a big order on the phone to this place after arriving to our staycation location, despite the big order they were very friendly and didn't forget anything, only issue was that we had to pay in cash haha but luckily I had brought quite a few large banknotes with me. Food was as good as you expect and nice servings, also got lots of the fried rice crisps, a nice late night takeaway.
