FAIRFIELD — Restaurant connoisseur Rocky Gregoire didn’t have to go far to experience a good, wholesome meal.

The Golden Dragon, Lindenwald Ledger’s second part of its restaurant review series, brought sweet and sour chicken to him.

“We’re one of the only Chinese restaurants (in the area) that actually delivers,” said Lisa Bonavita, the Dragon’s delivery girl and phone receptionist.

The Golden Dragon, located on Winton Road in Fairfield, serves up nothing but its own stuff. Everything is made by hand — from its rice to wantons to dumplings. Bonavita said the owner begins preparing the fixings at 8 a.m. every morning.

“This is good stuff,” Gregoire said after taking a bite of fried rice. “It even has broccoli in it. You don’t see that very often.”

After gaining new ownership this past July, the Golden Dragon is known more for its carry-out service. However, there are a few tables available for those who choose to dine in.

The busiest hours are the same as any other restaurant — during lunchtime. Some weekend nights bring in some business as well.

“We get a lot of calls during the weekends because of partiers,” Bonavita said. “That’s why we stay open so late compared to other Chinese restaurants.”

Hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m.
