Golden Dragon

Since the last review this place has changed hands. It used to be excellent, now the food is well below average.
In the day they only accept payment with card if you order from the main menu, If you opt for the buffet they refuse cards and demand «cash only».

The best Chinese in St. Helens — oh yes — by a country mile. The place is not the most highly decorated in the town but what it suffers from being sometimes barren it more than makes up for by providing absolutely quality food. They have an offer on every Sunday where between 1−8pm you can go and pay just under 6 quid for all you can eat.
The drinks are ridiculously priced but since you are eating your own bodyweight in food for next to nothing I dont really think you can complain.
The owners have recently purchased the property next to the original Golden Dragon and have ‘knocked through’ so that the place has doubled in size. This is perfect because it is now possible to sit away from the screaming kids and their disinterested parents who sometimes frequent the place when it gets busy.
There is also a downstairs section for when the main eating rooms are full.
The staff are always very friendly, the service is excellent and I could not recommend the place highly enough to anyone looking for a nice Chinese in St. Helens
