Chasing Dragon

Chinese and Thai under one roof on the South Asian food strip that is Ealing Road in Alperton. Chasing Dragon has been drawing neighbourhood regulars with a menu that spans crispy prawn starters and chicken manchow soup as well as Thai-influenced curry dishes. Portion sizes are generous and the kitchen copes well with the mixed-origin menu, with dim sum-style starters sitting alongside Cantonese staples. The room is compact and the decor functional rather than fussed-over, making it firmly a neighbourhood eat-in and takeaway rather than a destination. Reviews consistently pick out the Alperton location as a reliable late-evening option when other kitchens on Ealing Road have already closed. Expect a broad menu, fair prices and the kind of honest Chinese-Thai cooking that local regulars return to week after week.
