Happy Dragon

Happy Dragon is a long-standing Chinese takeaway and eat-in spot serving the seaside community of Pevensey Bay on the East Sussex coast. The menu is reassuringly broad, running from Cantonese and Hong Kong-style favourites to crispy starters and rice and noodle boxes built for sharing. Locals point to the speedy service and the sheer choice on offer, with helpings that are easy to split between two and plenty of options for vegetarians among the stir-fries and chow mein.

Feedback is mixed but mostly warm: the place holds a 3.7/5 rating across well over 500 reviews, with fans praising the friendly counter staff and large, freshly cooked portions, while a few find the sauces on the sweet side. It is a dependable neighbourhood choice for a fuss-free Chinese supper, and a plate of Sweet And Sour Chicken with egg fried rice remains one of the most popular orders for families collecting on their way home.
