Golden Dragon is a Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh that offers friendly service and clean facilities. However, multiple reviews mention high prices and disappointing portion sizes. The food quality seems inconsistent, with some dishes receiving praise while others fall short. Despite the historic and charming ambiance of the restaurant, the overall experience seems to be marred by pricing issues and underwhelming servings. While some diners appreciate the helpful staff and tasty dishes, others feel the restaurant does not live up to expectations. Consider visiting Golden Dragon for its ambiance and select menu items, but be cautious of potential disappointments in terms of value and portion sizes.
