Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant Elland

Golden Dragon at Southgate is Elland's main Chinese restaurant, occupying a first-floor space in a former bank building that seats around seventy diners. Owner Nancy Chen has run the kitchen for fifteen years, and the Visit Calderdale guide lists it among the area's recommended Chinese restaurants. The menu is extensive — over twenty soups and starters, and more than a hundred main dishes covering chicken, duck, king prawn, beef, pork, seafood and lamb in Cantonese preparations including sizzling hot-plate dishes, bird's-nest presentations and a full foo-young range. Parties and business dinners are a house speciality, and the spacious dining room makes it well suited for group bookings. Delivery runs within a three-mile radius for those who prefer to stay home. A proper sit-down Chinese restaurant in a town where most competitors offer takeaway only, and one of the more characterful dining rooms in Calderdale.
