Restaurant Chinois Golden Dragon : Rte de Moudon 1, 1072 Forel (Lavaux)

Disappointing experience. I have been to this restaurant multiple times during the last two years and each time it was absolutely great. However this time our experience was 90% negative. 1. For starters we have ordered different dumplings, soups and spring rolls. Dumplings didn’t taste great, especially the shrimp ones, crab soup was nice, but Tom yum tasted like there was vinegar inside. Our friends that ordered spring rolls didn’t eat more than a bite as they were dripping oil. 2. For main course we took duck, crispy beef, shrimp noodles, and beef with basil sauce. Apart from the duck, everything else was worse than we remembered from our last visit. As an example, noodles were super thin and they didn’t absorb the sauce. Previously they were different and tasted much better. Same goes for the rice, it seemed they changed the rice or went for a pre-cooked option which doesn’t taste good at all. We were quite surprised by this experience and at the end of the dinner asked the staff if they changed their chef or if the owner changed but the gentleman said that he was the owner and nothing changed since ages. We told him that the food tasted different but he insisted that everything was the same. Hope they will read the comments and react, cause it was a truly great place that we liked to visit from time to time.

Really amazing food and excellent service by the owners. We really felt looked-after and enjoyed everything we ate. We’re looking forward to going back in the future.

I ordered a lemon chicken that actually had pieces of plastic mixed into the chicken, so it was cooked in the plastic. I'm disgusted. I don't recommend it at all. Very disappointed.
