What teresatH6372TP doesn't like about Dragon Boat:
I really wanted to try this takeaway but after getting “line busy” for half an hour I gave up and went to the Flaming Wok! Not sure that I’ll try again as first impressions count. View all feedback. What stevebar likes about Dragon Boat:
We moved into St Ives in Feb '19. As you 'd expect, moving day was chaos. What shall we do for tea? Chinese takeaway. Good enough to get another one the next day. And several times since. View all feedback.

The Dragon Boat has been a beloved takeaway spot, but recent reviews show a decline in quality. Customers express disappointment in burnt food, subpar dishes, and bitter flavors. However, some individuals still praise favorites like the Crispy Shredded Beef and Szechuan Prawns. While delivery can be slow due to popularity, the spot receives high recommendations for good service and tasty meals. Prices are fair, delivery is quick, and the food is hot and delicious. Overall, mixed reviews suggest that The Dragon Boat may have lost its touch, but loyal customers still find satisfaction in their classic dishes.
