The Imperial Dragon is a Chinese Restaurant situated on London Road in Carlisle.
A large building, the bottom floor is the restaurant and above it some private dwellings.
There is plenty of parking, a few places on the front and more around the back. It is accessible by bus, or would take around 45 minutes to walk, from the City Centre.
You enter via the door on the front, walking into a bar area where people sit while waiting for their take-aways. After asking for a table you are directed into the restaurant.
The restaurant is functional, not hugely atmospheric, but clean & tidy.
They do a great deal, eat-as-much-as-you-like for £13.50. The best bit about this deal is it is all cooked to order, no helping yourself out of luke-warm buffet trays.
Four of us went on a Sunday evening, we had the whole place to ourselves, only to be joined by one other couple later on into the evening.
We ordered a huge selection of starters, opting to choose main courses (should we need them) after we had finished the starters, and we are glad we did - they certainly were not shy with the portions, which were all served in this fabulous "lazy susan" style serving dish.
One slight issue is that the Veggie Spring Rolls were just chucked in with the prawn and chicken dishes, there was enough space for them to be kept separately really.
We could barely manage a main course so we opted to order just half portions. I got a Mushroom Egg Fu Yung, with curry sauce - we shared rice & noodles.
My friend got Orange Chicken.
All the food was delicious, we have been a few times before and it is consistantly good. They seem to be very busy with take-away orders, which probably keeps them going as the restaurant is often quite empty.
The waiter was really good, helpful and happy.
The bill, not including a tip, for four people was £70.60, for 4 buffets, a carafe of wine, beer and soft drink.
The only real downside of this restaurant is the state of the bathroom, the Ladies anyway, it is really quite tatty, smells of damp and in urgent need of a real good overhaul.
