Castle Chinese Take-Away in Moray

I have been there before and has been brilliant, I always order the same. The fried rice normally is a white /light brown, On this occasion the rice was dark brown, maybe burnt if it wasn't meant to be like that

Love freshly cooked food! Portion size was excellent. Enjoyed the special curry, although a lot of onions ( which I like) but not everyone’s taste. Prawn toast was lovely too. Good customer service.

My takeaway was cold. Astonishingly fast service....literally in the place 2 minutes! Let's hope it's properly cooked 🤞

The food is decent, however it's not great advert when the son who sometimes works here is often seen in dufftown and hanging out of his bedroom window with his mates shouting abuse at people and throwing litter around the square.

The young boy operating the phone is exceptionally rude with absolutely no manners. Terrible. To avoid insult there is an excellent Indian restaurant next door!

Fast service and it was very tasty. Thin noodles were so good. All 4 in our party loved it. Great portions!

The food was great, the phone order was checked back to us, pick up was quick, we got some free Spring Rolls. All in all it was a successful take away for us. Plenty of left overs for lunch the next day.

Quick, tasty, good portion sizes. We placed a phone order, which was checked back to us. Collection in 25 minutes. Not the cheapest ever, but good portion sizes. Quite happy with what we got (as were the kids)

we placed an order this evening which I asked for her to repeat the order just to make sure it was correct. We collected 20 mins later bought it home only to find the whole order wss wrong i phoned up and spoke to a 13 year old boy who was very rude and made me wait 15 minutes on the phone while he carried on taking orders when he eventually picked up the phone I was told they were to busy to deal with my complaint towhich I replied we have just spent 30 pound with you for not what we ordered this was now 6.30 pm.He then said wete busy sorry and put the phone down but my husband had left to go see them he also had taken back with him the mistaken part order which they took back in covid 19 times to me which is a big no no.My husband didn't arrive back until 7.10 pm by this time the rest of the order had gone cold the chicken fried rice had no peas in it we ordered spring rolls and was charged 3.50 but never go them .I will be thinking twice about using this place again they have no customer loyalty. We have been using this place for years..Our order should of been cooked from fresh again its something I would of done when running my own business..Castle Chinese Dont have child taking orders its only going to end q way...

在Dufftown这个以whisky出名的小镇，吃到了一顿美味的家乡菜，是我们旅途中值得回忆的一站，让我们在寒冷的苏格兰，感受到了温暖和可口的饭菜。菜品味道很好，水煮牛肉很棒！老板和老板娘很热情超级nice! 强烈推荐！

Just moved up from the Midlands (so we know what we like in a Chinese). When we saw the prices it was a bit more than we normally paid, but wow the portions were worth the money & the meal was delicious. We are very impressed and will definitely be going back.

Terrible Chinese. Food disgusting, greasy and cold. Very poor service and there is bad smell from the place. Do not recommend at all.

Have used this place on numerous occasions so we are well aware of what to expectHad friends staying so opted for a selection of dishes - varied and plentifulPlaced order with 'front desk' manned by the owners son who is clearly learning the ropes !Food is prepared efficiently and always tasty - leftovers eaten the following dayNo complaints whatsoever - we are regular users and enjoy the food - always too much to choose fromPlenty crackers and rolls thrown inGreat value for money and good hearty food!

While my friends went to a Scottish restaurant, I went to this takeout place solo as I was in the mood for some Chinese noodles. The prices were reasonable, the 12 year old kid who was handling the cash register tried to charge me 1 pound extra for making it more spicy. I found this funny. They have a small table for 3-4 to sit there and eat. The noodles were quite tasty and flavorful.

We get the same thing everytime, each time cooked to perfection . Recommend the Singapore chow mein it's delicious

This place might be tiny but the food was excellent. Hot, good portions and we really enjoyed it. This is take away only.

We have popped in for a takeaway several times now, although it looks a little rough on the outside the food is really very nice.

Just looking for a meal ( tea ). I had the chow mien which was fine. Very friendly young lady on the counter ( not Chinese, most front of house staff aren’t these days ). Nothing fancy but a good helpful at a reasonable price. What more could you wish for. My take away was still hot when I got home 7 miles later.

Our family drove a few miles for our take-away, which when it got home was still hot thankfully. A most enjoyable meal and hit the spot.

We were delighted to discover that this Chinese takeaway offers vegetarian "chicken" and "duck" - as veggies visiting Dufftown, choices had been a bit thin on the ground. The food was delicious and was prepared incredibly quickly - really impressed.

I had a beef chow mein as lovely. My partner had a special curry said its one of the best he has ever tasted. The young local man that served me was so polite and well mannered.

First time we've tried this Chinese carry out, didn't have menu so went in to order. Ordered what we usually have and expected to wait at least five minutes for it to be cooked. The woman behind the counter started chatting and was saying she wouldn't eat here and she brings her own food! Thought that very strange and didn't give me much confidence in what I was about to eat! Our order came out from the kitchen in a couple of minutes from ordering which again I was a bit wary of. Meals were basically sauce with some bits of chicken, hardly any vegetables. Fried rice was very greasy. Think the woman behind the counter was right in not eating here!

Very tasty Chicken tea lovely and too saucy more healthy, than normal fare. nice friendly assistant.

I had the salt & pepper squid and the Malaysian Chow Mein, both were good, the squid was tasty, there was plenty of it. The Malaysian Chow Mein was similar to Singapore Rice Vermicelli Noodle dishes I've had from other establishments, so a dry curryied noodle dish with finely chopped mixed meats and veg, mostly onions and peppers with some chilli's. Overall it was what I was hoping for and what I wanted : ) Friends had the Salt & Pepper Munchie box which was a sight to behold and would have probably fed three to four adults and consisted of a 12" pizza box FULL of chips, spare ribs, chicken strips, mini spring rolls, chicken balls and possibly one or two other things all covered in slivers of red & green peppers , onions and finely chopped garlic.......one for the very hungry !!

Geschmacklich wie auch preislich im Grenzbereich!

We ordered the two person menu....it is a huge amount of food. Meals are good, except the chicken soup. The personnel (old woman) was very unfriendly. Didn't help us in anything.

Always delicious food from here, very large menu that must have something for everyone on it, recently changed ownership so many of the less favourable reviews on here no longer relevant, eat here with confidence.

Food is very good, price is beyond reasonable. Hygiene is good and the woman behind the counter is very friendly.

Estaba usando una vez a la semana para llevar esta bastante fácilmente. . Hasta recibí una comida completa con un gancho grande de metal! ! Regresar rápidamente y estaba impactada al escuchar que estaban más preocupados que el gancho para colgar bolsas de carrier" en "fue devuelto! En vez de ofrecer ninguna recompensa. No debe utilizar de nuevo!

Nunca he tenido una comida decepcionante, pero siempre muy sabrosa y el personal ha sido siempre amable cuando nos hemos ido. Estaban listo para cerrar una noche y nunca nos dimos cuenta, pero aun así nos sirvió la comida, la misma calidad que estamos acostumbrados para que agradecidos

Firstly the food, very average Chinese, omnipresent smell of oil in all dishes and left the house smelling badly for two days - lots of oil in containers. Secondly, lady at front would not even look up at me and kept shouting 'numba, numba' when I was ordering - she did not seem to understand what I was saying nd when we got our order is was wrong. Will not rush back

Asked for fresh made prawn crackers, lady said couldn't do that, only ready packed available. Behind scenes man mouthing of when lady told him my request, heard him speak about crackers then he got louder and louder, repeating crackers so I knew he was shouting about my request, the place wasn't even busy. I won't go back there and I certainly won't recommend this place even though it's only a take away, I'll go to the Indian take away/ restaurant next door. Told the lady that customers shouldn't have to listen to staff rants.

La señora detrás del mostrador era muy amable y servicial. La comida llegó rápidamente y estaba delicioso. Probablemente la mejor salsa dulce y amarga que he probado! No dudaré en volver a usar de nuevo.

Chino muy bueno llevar. La señora chino en el teléfono ha hecho mal mi pedido en dos ocasiones, así que ir en orden en persona y ahora sin problemas. La comida es muy buena. Probarlo y ver lo que piensa 🍴

China tenía su ya que estaban abiertas hasta tarde. Fue muy agradable y para una buena y barata comida para llevar.

Eaten from here several time meals are always good. Really tasty with so much choice, and very good price

We were there after visiting Glenfidich distillery in Dufftown and after our tour everything was shut down (in the middle of the day!!! ) So it was our only choice and it was THE BEST! The food was absolutelly delicious, I cannot remember having a better fast food... The service was so fast, you cannot imagine! I wish we can visit again!

a good chinese takeaway with too much chooises. their food was few times a lifesafer on late nights, when everything was closed. My only problem is, that the spicey/hot is not enough sipcey/hot :)

They do a decent duck, but I've preferred noodle dishes. Dishes vary in quality from average to quite excellent. A good place to eat when hungry and in need of a quick meal.

The Castle Chinese Take-Away is the one of only two fast food places in Dufftown. It serves all the usual Chinese fayre. Last time I visited I had placed a order over the phone, I ordered chips and curry sauce with plain chow mien, the food was hot and tasty with a good size portion. The curry sauce was the usual take-away variety with just the right amount of spice. The food was ready roughly when they said it would be and its good value.

Sehr nette älter Dame am Tresen,stets freundlich und für ein nettes Gespräch zu haben!!! Wir waren 2xdort und es war stets lecker!!!

This is a particularly good for delivering consistency every meal. We have enjoyed every meal bought from here and unless very busy the waiting time was minimal.

God mat men vi fick gå tillbaka 2 gånger pga att det missat delar av beställningen. Mitt tips är alltså att kolla av påsen innan ni lämnar butiken.På plus kan nämnas att de inte tagit betalt för de glömda delarna!

This was the only place open for food after 2100 hours. Take out was standard Chinese food, nothing special but convenient that it was open.

Very disappointing. Cannot recommend anything about the food. Meat was over cooked, sauces all thick with MSG including the Thai options. Unfortunately there are not many food options in Dufftown, which explains why they are still open. They even charge for chopsticks. Rip off.

We were in town for 1 night with a baby and didn't want to deal with a restaurant, so got Chinese take out. Very good spring rolls, salt and pepper prawns, and prawn crackers. Decent fried rice, spare ribs, and beef with broccoli. Good choice if you're in the mood for Chinese.

we were told the food was not good and to avoid but decided to take a chance. the menu is extensive with so much choice it took as a while to decide. I had butterfly prawns, chicken and pineapple with fried rice and have to say all tasted delicious. The portions were so big that I was able to have 2 meals and even then there was left over rice. I'm not sure what people expect but the service was friendly and quick and we certainly enjoyed our food.

Sometimes it can be very good....sometimes its not so good! The portion sizes are very generous. We've tried a number of different dishes on the menu and they've somehow managed to be in the same sauce! I would, however, recommend the Satay Chicken on Skewers. It comes as a starter but could easily be a main course.

Living locally we have had a takeaway regularly from here for the last 5 years without complaintGood food always,reccomend the chow mein and their salt and pepper squid.

The food varies from beeing good to very good. The staffs english could have been better.Great selection of food varieties

Good take-away. Cooks everything there & then - open kitchen so if you want you can watch your food being cooked in front of you.

The meals are very tasty and there is plenty of choice. Quite surprised as I am not aware of any competition in the local area so it was nice to see that they did not take advantage of this situation.

We really enjoyed the food from this Chinese take-away. We liked the fact that there was a large window in the wall so we could see all the cooking going on.It was clear that everything was cooked really fresh. The food was full of flavour.There was plenty of vegetarian choice.The price worked out at about £6 per head.
