We've been ordering from Green Dragon for well over 15 years and it still surprises me that people in the area don't know about it or have tried it, so I thought it was time to write a review! It's consistently good value and great taste, fresh ingredients. We have never been disappointed, our favourites are the tom yum friend rice and calamari. Give it a go!
Green Dragon deliver on taste and freshness everytime I order - which is why I order very often. Portion sizes are generous and a selection of value packs offer excellent value for money. The flavours are are always fresh and lively and there is a lightness of texture in their dishes which sets them apart from the competition. The ‘Classic’ dishes just tastes better when they come from Green Dragon.
My favourite Chinese takeaway in inner south. Recommended!
Reasonable pricing, clean kitchen, flexible portion size and good food, it ticks all the boxes. We got three entrees, prawn crackers, small fried rice, Singapore noodles and mixed veggies for $35 only. The owners are also lovely and honest.
Great local Chinese take away. Excellent value for money and consistent quality. Recommend the fish with vegetables, and they give free prawn crackers. Convenient as you can call up and order.
Been coming to Green Dragon for well over 10 years. Food is always delicious, with generous portions. The honey chicken and mongolian beef are always a highlight.
A great family restaurant that never disappoints. Always has excellent service, and I would travel far for the lemon chicken! A favourite for sure.
Friendly service and amazing food! Green Dragon family get it right all the time. Winter favorites are Kung Pao chicken and the Ma Po Tofu! Big portions too.
We love Green Dragon! It has been a family favourite for years. Great value and service, all the food is delicious, especially the lemon chicken!!
Travelled across town on a friends recommendation and was not disappointed. Some of the best Chinese food I’ve had in Melbourne, the sweet and sour pork was a standout! Great, friendly service, would visit again in a heartbeat. Heaps of variety on the menu too and all at a great price.
Quick service, very fresh and sizzling hot. The picture doesn't do justice as to the portion size, as there are a lot of noodles hidden/buried underneath. All this for $11, including the added mushroom option. Definitely will be coming back many times.
I have been going to Green Dragon for years! Food is always delicious, fresh and really really good value for money. Staff are always friendly as well.
Such great value.I ordered a Beef in Blackbean sauce and a large vegetarian fried rice for around $15 total which is unheard of.The quality was good enough for my selective palate and I am very impressed with the quality and value.Will be trying new dishes soon from this place.
Amazing food, great price and super quick delivery! Was not disappointed with the quality and taste of the food! The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Cannot fault!
Fresh flavours. Ordered a value pack which was great value. Was very busy but food was ready when I arrived to pick it up. Will order again for sure
Delicious. Found this place when I lived in Toorak and got sad that they couldn't deliver to St Kilda when I moved. Lo and behold they now do! Gorged ourselves on the chicken and corn soup, special fried rice and beef and black bean! Came to about $30 for two people! No complaints here!
Quick delivery as well means I get my craving faster!
Amazing Chinese food - true to its rating. Really, really good value. Always friendly customer service. Have eaten here tens of times and never once been disappointed.
We have been waiting for this place to reopen for the last 4 months, after they closed due to a fire and it was worth the wait!!
With a whole new fit-out, new menu and the same awesome taste Green Dragon is back! It's absolutely the best Chinese around! Even with a slight price rise, the food is still high quality and so much cheaper then anything else in the area.
I would highly recommend to anyone in the area who hasn't tried before!
Cheap, cheerful and great value.
This is your local Chinese takeaway, not the fancy flower drum type. Food is always good and super value. Honey Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Beef and Blackbean. All the favorites you had as a kid.
As always you get what you pay for but this place is amazing value. Good prices and good, simple, suburban, Chinese cuisine.
Really surprised. I read the reviews but was a bit taken aback by the shop front, but based on the reviews we thought give it a go.
Ordered their dinner box. Super fast. Super cheap ($8 or8:30 with fried rice) and tasted good. What more could you want. And for the short time were there, the constant stream of people obviously also agree.
Excellent food no matter what we order at very good prices. It's a great little takeaway that we drive to happily years later even though we have moved out of the area.
Our go to for Chinese takeaway! Super cheap and cheerful. We have ordered to pick up and also delivered, both are fast and the food is always great. Favourites include stir fry beef hor fun in black bean sauce and pork ribs in Peking sauce. Also love that they throw in a bag of prawn crackers for orders over $20. Don't let the dingy shopfront put you off, it's a great locally run Chinese joint.
I've lived in Prahran for 10 years + and I've never endeavoured ordering from this place because of the exterior appearance looking a bit shabby. But tonight I took the risk and ordered from them. It came within 20 minutes. The food was piping hot, the portion sizes were great and it was cheap as chips, whilst still retaining quality. The delivery woman was lovely too. Definitely a place worth trying out if you live in the area.
BEST chinese takeaway in the area... PLEASE invest in an online ordering system!! As soo hard to get through when you're busy!! (Make much more $$$$)
New to writing reviews so I thought I will start with my local favourite. This is my go to place when indecisive and extremely hungry. 5 min walk from home and generally my order is ready by the time I chuck on my shoes and walk there. Super fast and cheap! Crispy skin chicken is a definite must everytime! Not fine dining quality but for the price you pay, nothing beats it!
Value for money!!! In an area filled with choices for a price. This place is easy to look past as it is away from the bustle if Chapel St. If your on a budget and live locally this is place to takeaway. I would give a higher score but no real eat in option. They have a large menu and I am not sure if all the dishes are good, but the ones I ordered I have ordered again. The pork chow mein was great. It was crisp and not overcooked which is common. Entrées taste like frozen cooked but what do you expect for the price.
Best cheap Chinese take away! I get this once a week chicken cashew nuts and a chicken and sweet corn soup. I call up, order and then walk down the end of my street to collect and it's ready when I get there, less than 10 mins from ordering! I've been coming here for almost 10 years now.
So amazingly quick and tasty. We called at 4pm despite the place opening at 5 and they were so accommodating, taking our order and having it all ready by 4:15! The whole meal came to under $30 for 2 people with plenty of leftovers. Food was tasty and can't emphasize enough how great the value for money is.
You need to completely ignore the two whiny ass-wipes in the list of reviews. By their own admission, they've bought take-away from Green Dragon ONE time, and then rushed to post negative reviews. Pathetic.
I've been buying take-away Chinese here since the late 1980's.
I defy anyone to find a better ratio of low-price to quality level anywhere in the inner eastern suburbs.
It's family owned and run, and they are very nice people. Excellent quality food, relative to the low prices that they charge.
And there's no damn MSG (despite what the two aforementioned ass-wipes have written). I have an allergy to MSG, so I would certainly know if they'd been using it.
Order from Green Dragon regularly and have found some of the dishes aren't so great however the ones that I do enjoy are as good as any other Chinese takeaway for a much cheaper price. Orders have always been correct and the service is very fast, definitely recommend.
Had our Friday night dinner delivered and as per usual very happy with the service. Quick delivery and delicious food. We recommend this eatery to our friends and have never been disappointed thanks again for the great meal. Only suggestion I'd make is get deep fried ice cream on the menu.
My new regular. The food is great and the value is phenomenal!
We wanted great Chinese that offered delivery. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and quick, and the price was awesome. We now have found our local takeaway. Hats off to Green Dragon.
Always fresh, high quality ingredients. Fast, low cost and healthy. Great range, vege/vegan options- seafood too. Great alternative to greasy takeout for the health concious tired/time poor person!
Great service, quick, reasonably priced and decent food.
Never fail. I have been going to Green Dragon for 15years, and they've never failed. The satay chicken skewers, lemon chicken, and chicken and corn soup are exceptional.
This is genuinely a hidden gem in Prahran. My family have been ordering from here for more than 20 years and it literally never disappoints.
The green dragon delivers on all levels for flavour, freshness, quality and value. Could not speak higher of this place- stand out dishes include- veg mini spring rolls, salt and pepper calamari, lemon chicken, beef and blackbean, fried rice, mongolian chicken and as always- prawn crackers.
Flavour- 4.5/5
Decor- n/a (its just a take-away and looks like a 70s laundromat)
Service- 5/5 (big order of 6+ mains wouldn't take over 15 mins pick up)
Value-4/5
OVERALL- 4/5
Very quick delivery. Very quick, friendly delivery. Have had a couple of dishes that I would not reorder, salt and pepper pork entree being one but overall the food is very good value for money.
Best Chinese around. This has to be the nicest Chinese around, place looks a bit dodgy but the food is to die for. We get takeaway from here every weekend. And it's so cheap. Can not fault it at all.
By far the BEST Chinese food I've had in Melbourne — EVER. Everything was fresh, expertly seasoned and never greasy. The food far exceeded my expectations.
Best Chinese takeaway! Don't let the frontage deceive you, this is Prahran's hidden jewel. We order from Green Dragon at least twice a week & the entire menu is excellent (yes there are healthier options - seafood salad, meat & vegetable stir fries aren't oily or fatty). Amazing value for money, super friendly staff & our favourite takeaway.
Best Chinese. Excellent little take away restaurant very good chinese flavours and the ammount you get for your money is very good value
Wow this is a hidden gem in Prahran, food was amazing and well priced, highly recommended. I never write reviews but I'm going out of my way for this amazing place :)
Quick, cheap, yum. This is our favorite go-to local takeout place in Prahran. Quick and easy, it's a winner. Hot and Sour soup is awesome.
Yum! We had the Lemon Chicken (crispy with a delicious sauce), Mongolian Beef (with brocolli - delicious) and special fried rice. Would give the spring rolls a miss - they had no filling really. Great prices too. Will def come back.
We come here at least once a week. Lemon chicken is divine, crispy and lovely lemon sauce. Their mixed veggies with fried tofu is also a winner...everything we have tried on the menu so far has been fresh, tasty, and never greasy or too salty. And they don't use MSG which is a bonus! Did I mention how cheap the food is? You couldn't make it yourself for the price you pay here! 10/10!
YUM. Brilliant takeaway - all-time favourite is lemon chicken which is absolutely delicious, but noodle options are also reliably tasty. Service is always very friendly. Can't recommend it enough!
I've been going to Green Dragon for years too. Whilst the front of the shop looks like a train wreck the food is generally very good. If you can close your eyes and ignore the dirty floors and the raw meat left out in the kitchen behind the counter being chopped up then you'll have a good feed. Always a consistent tasty meal from this family eatery.
Cheap & Quick. No flower drum obviously - possibly same amount of msg tho.
Food was nice and substantial enough for what i paid. Ordered chick ribs in pepper salt, beef and vegetable in oyster sauce and mixed vegies with tofu.
delivered within 20 mins. a big plus on a winter night.
Trusty. Great quality ingredients in the Hor Fun, BEST HOT AND SOUR SOUP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's the cure for when you're feeling a little stuffy. The home made steamed dim sims are awesome too. I've been frequenting this place for, I kid you not, 15 years. They have never let me down. I hope they never change, I woudn't know what to do without the Green Dragon.
Local favorite! Never disappointed. Always crunch & fresh-try sweet & sour pork and you can see why. No wonder they have been around so many years.
Cheap and quality.. Don't be put off by the decour, this is a great little cheap place that offers quality decent sized take away.
Value plus. Don't be fooled by the tacky decor! This take away only establishment offers all the Chinese usuals. The homemade Dim sim is the only item I would fault for being dry other then that ticks every box. Delivery is also very fast too.
