    We ordered the Prawn & Chicken Special Avurudu Kottu which was Rs.3490. Quantity was okay but the food was terrible. Extremely spicy. Less chicken and prawns. I would think 100 times before ordering again. I would not recommend this to anyone.

    I have being to this Chinese Dragon Cafe many times. It’s located just near the Ratmalana Town. We really enjoyed their freshly made food. The staff were friendly and helpful. Their food is delicious. My favorite dish is the Dragon Wet Rice, It’s so good.🤩

    Good place. Their sweet corn soup with chicken and egg is fantastic. Their service is good. Food delivery takes time. But dinning service is very fast. Food is good. Serves very well. Not bad at all. Good surround for a couple.

    I had the chicken noodles and the sweet & sour chicken. The ambience was clean, hygienic and nice. The waiter was extremely courteous and helpful. The food was fresh and very good to taste. I really enjoyed visiting this restaurant and look forward to another visit very soon.

    If your order also gets postponed pls look into it carefully here is my experience I'm sure this has happened to other's recently i ordered after getting a promotional message and i was told my food will arrive in 45 mins i waited 1 hr and called they said they are on the way then again in 30 mins when i called they say say they are still making my order(read below) FYI my order number was 26 i called at 10 am but to see the person in charge has given my 26 slot to some one they favored and put my order to the bottom of the list to number 59 i had to wait for 4 hours to even find the actual matter no apology was given by anyone and just sent a cold meal this is the worst service i have seen

    Reversing stars 👈 Have been big fans of the Ratmalana branch however we were disappointed on the few orders we did last time (its been so long since we stopped ordering from em) the prices were insanely high which we still wanted the same tasty food we had - yet they made the sea food noodles not worth it few times like there are not much ingredients on em found like 4 🍤 shrimps / the cuttlefish balls they advertised as new and improved were like tiny as they can be you can eat 2 of em at once those were that small (i had a photo of one don’t wanna post it here) we decided to find some other place for our quick lunch or dinner and never went there again for the past few months … The photos i uploaded here were when they made tasty and cool food / not anymore 😞

  • 5/5 Supun G. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited recently and now open again for dine in after the lockdown. There was no crowd at all and had a good calm dining experience. Staff is very helpful and even suggested one portion of a soup would be enough for two. Food was tasty as always and they offered a starter free of charge as a promotion. They follow health guidelines and tables are arranged to keep distance. Parking is available for 3, 4 vehicles.

    Was a sorry excuse for dining out. A second class steward offered third class food. Galle road Mount Lavinia location is definitely a place to avoid, everything was bad to worse. This place used to be descent but the expansion seems to have killed it. NOT WORTH GOING TO.

  • 1/5 mjgur1 2 years ago on Google
    Chinese Dragon was once the go to option when it came to Chinese food for most of us. Their standards and service have now dropped to the worst it has ever been sadly. Ripping customers off with their ridiculous prices for food that is well below mediocre. It is probably the worst chain of restaurants we have in Sri Lanka today. Truly sad as we grew up looking forward to having Chinese Dragon every month. Get your act together please.

  • 5/5 jerome n. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered a nasi serves two, but three ppl can eat. yummy and delicious. 2 bullseye fried cuttlefish and fried prawns

  • 5/5 Sanjeeve G. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, good quantity and quality, maintaining the old standards as per their long standing good reputation, and the customer service is exceptionally good.

  • 1/5 Rajanthie J. 2 years ago on Google
    Mount Lavinia messed up my online orders back to back. Regular and large portions are sent in same regular size box and then apologized for. This is cheating the customer. Please do away with your special instructions column, as our instructions are not read or fulfilled.

  • 1/5 Sajana L. 2 years ago on Google
    Don’t order from these buggers. Day by day the food quality is decreasing and service is absolutely rubbish.

  • 5/5 Ranul R. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an issue with a recent order, Manager Mr.Thilak got it rectified so quickly. Not to mention the great effort by the team. Excellent service 👌

    One day we ordered fried rice devilled butter cuttlefish and it was very tasty and devilled chicken was not even seasoned with salt and pepper Next time also we ordered same and devilled butter cuttlefish was not tasty at all.

  • 5/5 Abinayaa U. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Sarah de S. 2 years ago on Google
    The portion sizes are smaller when they deliver than when we dine in. For the amount of food they give, it is totally overpriced and not worth it at all. Very disappointed.

  • 5/5 Emali De S. 2 years ago on Google
    Came for lunch at Chinese Dragon after so many years. We ordered crispy noodles mixed soup(beef,seafood n pork) Last but not least hot butter cuttlefish fish. It was a great experience of flavours. Beverly Jansz serviced us his service was exceptional.

  • 4/5 Layan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Not crowded because of covid. Service and the food better than most of the other places.

  • 4/5 Yehan Jude K. 6 years ago on Google
    Your typical Sri Lanka - Chinese fusion restaurant. Been here a few times and the service has been good. Food also good, if you know what you're looking for. Good variety of dishes. Nice atmosphere, but that usually depends on how crowded the place is..

  • 5/5 Tattoo H. 11 months ago on Google

  • 2/5 Shiran de M. 5 months ago on Google
    prices have increased but the quantities have decreased. The dot of Chillies paste sent as per our rice order was disgraceful. Very disappointed.

  • 2/5 Thushari R. 4 months ago on Google
    Today I ordered 2 packets of so called " luxary pack" from mount lavinia branch. Utterly dry tasteless food. It was simply disgusting.

  • 1/5 D V N. 3 months ago on Google New
    Ordered a fried rice. Its not the quality i expected. Very law quality basmati rice like naadu rice. Quantity was ok for 2 but they send only a tea spoonful of chili paste. Overall fried rice was not up to the standard of such a famous restaurant. Really disappointed.

  • 3/5 Krishan de A. 6 months ago on Google
    Please be more generous with the quantity of Chili Paste. The amount we received was even less than 1 tea spoon even after spending about 12000 LKR. See photo for reference.

  • 4/5 Roshan N. 8 months ago on Google
    Can't satisfy about the car parking facility. If you go by a car with a low ground clearance be careful. Customer service is good and staff is friendly.

  • 5/5 Ranjini Ranjini P. 10 months ago on Google
    Food is always fresh. We love the Authentic chinese taste. Generous portions of seafood and meat is always imxrd in rice and noodles, in dishes too. Fast delivery always food comes in hot.Thank you. Pl consider good price to make everything perfect.

  • 1/5 hus s. 9 months ago on Google
    got food poisoning for the 4th time from the restaurant, though it was years apart but every time I have ordered. 2 days 2 nights, still not recovered, pain and fever, this has happened to me from pelawatte outlet in the past and now from ratmalana.

  • 1/5 Randika G. 9 months ago on Google
    Bought seafood banana fried rice in banana leaf. Its worst and not tasty at all. So much pepper and not good like before. Burger is good, vegetarian set menu is good and other food I tried I cannot recommend.

  • 5/5 tharindu w. 9 months ago on Google
    I recently dined at a Chinese Dragon Cafe - Rathmalana and was blown away by the exquisite flavors and impeccable service. The menu offered a diverse selection of authentic dishes that were beautifully presented. The staff was friendly but bit slow and attentive, ensuring a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful culinary journey.

  • 2/5 NIROSHAN u. 2 years ago on Google
    Most of the favorite items in menu not available (Tom yum soup, kangun) . Poor customer service compare with bambalapitiya

  • 4/5 Suie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food and excellent service. I have ordered from them a few times and the customer service staff and delivery staff are very helpful. Food is made to suit the Sri Lankan palette and they deliver right on time without delay.

  • 1/5 Tharini C. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered a beef with kankun for dinner tonight. With the 2500/- plus price tag I was very disappointed to see only 10 small pieces of beef. I don’t know how they priced this. Absolutely shocking. You guys need to justify the price tag with your food quality and portion sizes. You guys should rename this dish as “kankun with a few pieces of beef”.

  • 4/5 cssuntherrao 1 year ago on Google
    The vegetarian delivery smelt and tasted so good. Delivery did not take too long. Highly recommend. Hope they keep up the standard.

  • 1/5 Devin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be a regular customer but this place has gone down to dustbin level as of recently. Food taste horrible too. I ordered some chicken dish for about Lkr 1950 supposed to be enough for 3 people and this would've had about 8 small tiny pieces of chicken. Additionally this chicken was supposed to have cashew and guess what, the cashew was still probably on the trees when they cooked it for me. Terrible value for money. Will never go back to dragon again. Disgusting.

  • 4/5 chamike i. 1 year ago on Google
    We took chicken fried rice hot battered cuttlefish and chicken gravy. Very delicious food. Reasonably good environment. Pretty good service. Their regular rice is enough for two men. Overall service is good

  • 1/5 Thilini A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really disappointed on there potions . I ordered kankun with beef (large) and there were only 10 small pieces in that and it cost 3k and the Manchurian chicken (large) had the same potion . Waste of money. We actually accept something good for the value we pay. This is really bad what u do with ur clients.

  • 5/5 Erani S. 1 year ago on Google

    I posted this rating few months ago. But today (2022/6/23 ) I placed an order at 5.21 pm. Now the time is 7.45pm. still no any update. This is the first time it happened. Please make necessary arrangements to keep your service up.

  • 3/5 Praveen De S. 1 year ago on Google

    This place is timeworthy to enjoy. Please visit to this place and get the experience about real sri lanakn version chinese mealtime.

  • 1/5 Sasanka C. 3 years ago on Google
    Placed an order at 7pm (6.57pm) and only dispatched it at 8.21pm and that's also after calling and complaining about the delay. This is not Pickme or Uber Eats. Its their own delivery system. At the time of this review food has not come yet and it's almost 1 and a half hours. Order delivery at your own risk and make sure you have a lot of time to kill. Edit - Food came at 9.05pm and was barely warm to the touch. 2.hrs and 7 mins to deliver the food. I suggest you avoid Chinese Dragon if you are ordering for delivery and look elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Thushara J. 3 years ago on Google
    At CDC I find that the food is tasty and they maintain good standards. Also they are reasonably priced so that many people can afford to dine at least once a month. Orders over the phone are delivered at the time promised and is well packed. I have been a customer of CDC since over 35 years and afterwards used to bring the kids every month after Scouting for lunch as a treat. The standards are still maintained and the pricing is affordable as always.

    THE NUMBER ONE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE ===============================/ Chinese Dragon has been my favourite since childhood. I am a regular customer of Chinese dragon wattala , where The Staff is always pleasant and food ofcause is unquestionable , super and very safe and hygienic. But I would like to share the best experience I had at their branch in Mt.lavania , The food was awsome ; and The staff were amazing , Their sincere warm attitude and customer service from Manager to waiters made me feel extremelt happy and took way back to 70's Sri Lanka Customer Service , I have not seen such sevice which is very Sri lankan since 2007 todate . The Mt.lavania Chinese dragon Staff were the best , I also believe the Manager incharge deserves extra credit , he is extremely attentive.

  • 4/5 Omal K. 2 years ago on Google
    The order was placed half an hour before I arrived at the place but it was not ready. when inquired as to why it was so, they said that it was because they had not received the order from the call center until 3 minutes before I had arrived there. The call center agent said that there was no cuttlefish available at the outlet on that day but my food had cuttlefish in it which was a good thing. Though the call center agent made a mistake, he was very courteous and professional. Everyone makes mistakes and for all it would have been worth, it can be a technological failure. However, all of the above apart, the food was as usual excellent. The restaurant remains one of my family favorites and we will continue to patronize them for their unique food that they serve.

  • 2/5 Dineth M. 2 years ago on Google
    Made a takeaway hot butter cuttlefish order today and the order came like within few minutes. When touching the container it was not hot at all. I realized that they have given me an old portion and I asked them to make me a new portion. Was so dissapointed !!!

  • 5/5 Charith F. 3 years ago on Google
    The food we ordered this time was good in quality, even though it was bit over priced. They took about 20-25 minutes to prepare. Items in the munch box were really yummy. Thai special seafood rice too was good.

  • 1/5 Ahamed S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 St. W. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was ok so far. But cold. Main problem. We ordered online at 10am, delivery for 11:30 We received the food more then 2 (two) hours later. When calling the call center, lady could only tell us, that the outlet will call. never happened. Anyway....

  • 2/5 CREDO M. 3 years ago on Google
    Good taste but for the price food quantity is less. Also very expensive food compare to the other restaurants.

  • 1/5 Rohan P. 3 years ago on Google
    Very dissappointed with the food that was given. The meat dish that I ordered tasted as if it has been reheated many a time. Although I made an immediate complain to the call centre, the promised call back from the Manager never received . Order number 126. This is not the first time I have ordered food from here, although pricey we still order since we love the taste. Please do not serve Re Heated food, there should be some valuve of your services. Definitely will not recommend this location to anyone . Beaware.
