Tuve una experiencia profundamente decepcionante en Dragon Castle, y me siento obligado a compartirla. Desde el principio, el servicio fue lento, a pesar de que el restaurante no estaba particularmente ocupado, tardó demasiado tiempo en ofrecerse té. Cuando llegó, se sirvió en una taza que todavía tenía manchas de té visibles, lo que inmediatamente planteó preocupaciones sobre la limpieza. Sin embargo, el verdadero problema surgió cuando nos entregaron la suma siu mai dim. Para nuestro absoluto horror, después de tomar un bocado, descubrimos que el cerdo en su interior estaba completamente crudo. Naturalmente, le llamamos la atención a la camarera, pero parecía que le costaba entender el inglés. Luego me acerqué directamente al gerente, quien simplemente se llevó el plato sin explicación, diciendo que lo reemplazaría. Cuando llegó el reemplazo, la camarera nos informó que sería gratis, aunque francamente, ese era el mínimo. Lo verdaderamente impactante fue la falta de disculpas o reconocimientos por parte del gerente. Nunca volvió a vernos ni a darnos tranquilidad, a pesar de pasar por delante de nuestra mesa varias veces. Su actitud indiferente deja claro que simplemente no le importa, lo que es insultante e inaceptable dada la gravedad de la cuestión. Servir carne cruda de cerdo no es solo un error menor, es un grave peligro para la seguridad alimentaria que podría habernos enfermado. La total falta de preocupación de la dirección es, francamente, asombrosa. No puedo recomendar Dragon Castle a nadie, e insto encarecidamente a otros a pensar dos veces antes de cenar aquí.

El único restaurante chino establecido en kilómetros a la redonda (elefante y castillo) por lo que sé y ha estado funcionando durante décadas. Almuerzo Dim sum en un domingo era todo lo que uno podía desear; tuvimos 11 platos diferentes y ninguno decepcionado. La habitación grande estaba llena a las 12. 45 con mucha gente de origen chino presente. El servicio era servicial y feliz de acomodar las necesidades de un niño pequeño.

Nuestra familia de 4 personas ha tenido grandes cenas en el Castillo del Dragón las varias veces que hemos estado. El servicio y la comida siempre es increíble y siempre lo disfrutamos. Sin embargo, hoy decidimos visitar para almorzar y desafortunadamente no tuvimos una gran experiencia. Nuestro camarero (Nick) fue desafortunadamente muy antipático y grosero y nos respondió un par de veces. Pedimos el Set Menu be pero terminamos con Set Menu D que era una opción vegetariana que no lo somos. Cuando recibimos los artículos equivocados Nick ni siquiera se disculpó y de inmediato dijo que nosotros fuimos los que pedimos el menú de ajuste equivocado. Tenía mucha actitud cuando pedimos cambiar nuestro orden por el que pedimos. Por supuesto, entendemos que es completamente normal cometer errores, pero de ninguna manera esto significa que culpes a los clientes. Además de esto, no era amable en absoluto al hacer el pedido y también parecía muy confundido con todas nuestras consultas. En general, solemos disfrutar de nuestras visitas al Castillo del Dragón, pero desafortunadamente no esta.

Hemos estado viniendo al Dragón durante años y solíamos amarlo. nunca ha sido el mismo desde que reabrió después del confinamiento/covid pero esta última visita fue con diferencia la peor Salieron los aperitivos mixtos que me encantaban sin los condimentos habituales que teníamos que pedir. Cada plato estaba siendo sacado justo cuando estábamos terminando lo que estábamos comiendo y en lugar de quitar las cosas sucias que acaban de mover la siguiente mesa para hacer una mesa más grande y justo menos artículos sucios en allí La comida estaba bien, pero no la calidad que solíamos obtener y uno de los especiales que sonaba muy bien se estropeó por la cantidad de chile que ellos pero con él. ningún cambio de platos en ningún punto y cuando llegaba la red teníamos que pedir cuencos que siempre se sacaban Qué pena.

Ordered a selection of starters, crispy duck, a few mains and rice to share. 10 minutes later the duck came out, seconds later one of the mains came out, then moments later all the starters, then everything else. They left the entire meal sat on the table to go cold. We asked if they had plate warmers to keep the mains warm while we ate the rest, they said no but offered to microwave them instead… Unsurprisingly everything went cold within minutes. Meal for three with a Tsingtao each came to £160 and - other than the sizzling beef, which did not arrive sizzling but was delicious - it was average at best. At this price you expect a restaurant that actually knows how courses work so that food is hot, and if you insist on serving everything at once, buy some plate warmers. Not even like we were there late and there was a need to rush, it was about 8pm on a Saturday and the place was half empty. Bizarre service, we won’t be back.

No es bueno. Pedí una selección de entrantes, pato crujiente, unos cuantos platos principales y arroz para compartir. 10 minutos después salió el pato, segundos después salió uno de los principales, luego momentos después todos los entrantes, luego todo lo demás. Dejaron toda la comida sentada en la mesa para pasar frío. Preguntamos si tenían calentadores de platos para mantener la red caliente mientras nos comíamos el resto, dijeron que no, pero se ofrecieron a microondas en su lugar... Como era de esperar, todo se enfrió en cuestión de minutos. Comida para tres con un Tsingtao cada uno llegó a £ 160 y - aparte de la carne de res chispeante, que no llegó chisporroteando pero estaba delicioso - era bang promedio. A este precio esperas un restaurante que realmente sepa cómo funcionan los platos para que la comida esté caliente, y si insistes en servir todo a la vez compra unos calentadores de platos. Ni siquiera como si estuviéramos allí tarde y hubiera necesidad de apresurarse, eran alrededor de las 8 de la tarde de un sábado y el lugar estaba medio vacío. Servicio extraño. Nunca más.

Awful. Been coming here for more than 20 years but it's gone downhill badly. Cold room, no vibe. Brought me chicken when I'd ordered a vegetarian dish, then presented me with the full bill plus the 'discretionary' service charge on top - £60 for two, with no alcohol. Never going there again!

After so many years, I came back to this restaurant. The level is really very poor, completely lackluster. Maybe do local business. Ginger Kale - Shuibo Kailan, add a gravy with ginger. Stir-fried Yi Noodles with XO Sauce - There is no wok gas and the freshness and spiciness of XO Sauce. Chongqing spicy chicken - called the best. The chicken was fried well and stir-fried with different kinds of peppers. Encore at the same venue: Separate two stations: one waited for an hour for the food to be served first; the other kept serving the wrong dishes. I'm so lucky that the wrong dishes were not served at my place, and the dishes were served quickly. I probably won't be able to help with dinner. Or maybe have some snacks later.

The restaurant was very cold, (admittedly it was a very cold day), but the food all went onto cold dishes which means it got cold very quickly. It was pretty expensive, but it was tasty. Staff were friendly, but too keen to clear up our table and plates while we were still eating. (It was 3pm-ish on a Saturday afternoon, so it's not like we were stopping staff from going home, and the restaurant was basically empty, so they didn't need the table for another group, and we hadn't actually taken that long.)

We found two thick black hairs in our sweet & sour chicken. They replaced it when we asked but still charged us for it. Ambiance felt quite cheap and outdated but the food was still quite pricey and not great. The cutlery we were provided was very sticky and left our hands sticky after touching it. We asked for a jug of tap water for the table but were only brought one single glass of water. We asked again for a jug and they finally brought one with a second glass, except there were three of us at the table, so one person didn’t have any water. The restaurant was mostly empty, staff weren’t very welcoming, and seemed very annoyed when we asked to take off the 12.5% service charge (included on the bill) due to the hairs in the food. Would not recommend

My usual go to restaurant whether for a quick dim sum or a nice dinner , has always been a good experience. Main food is quite nice and not too costly, dim sum a little expensive but thats just London. Left my wallet there a week ago and they kept it sadly the money inside was missing but I'm pretty sure it wasn't them that took it. Overall a nice place to go.

Had just ordered our meal and then had to cancel almost immediately due to an emergency and leave. They insisted on making us pay £70 for a full meal. They said the chef had already cooked it having not checked with the kitchen. As we were leaving one of the waiting staff then made a racist comment that I shan't repeat here Would not recommend.

The staff were very accommodating considering we were a large table with a child which can be a bit chaotic. Dim Sum was great as per usual, we’ve been coming to Dragon Castle for a few years for a family meal and it never disappoints. A great selection of Cantonese breakfast classics. 10/10 would visit again.

I've lived in the area for 16 years and dragon castle has been my regular dim sum and Cantonese restaurant that used to rival anything found in Chinatown. Top quality dim sum and roast duck. Being Cantonese I know good quality dim sum. Unfortunately in the last year there must have been a change in management as all the regular staff disappeared, they introduced some odd promotions like fancy cocktails and bubble tea (didn't last long), all while the food quality has steadily plummeted. I've been here about 6 times in the last year (giving them plenty of chances to improve) and the quality has never recovered. The dim sum portions have gotten much smaller in size, less fresh and the roast duck is much more dry with a miserly amount of sauce and generally less authentic overall. The clientele has also changed where previously it would be full on weekends with Chinese students and locals, nowadays it's rarely half that busy. Now I would rate the quality at marginally better than a bog standard Chinese takeaway. A real fall from greatness and a loss to the area. They also spilled tea on my leg and decided to use napkins to wipe the table rather than offer them to me to dry off. I had to pretty much ask for napkins for my obviously drenched lap. Hence the 1 star for service.

Pedido para llevar y gastado 90 libras para encontrar que teníamos cosas que faltan en el pedido, entonces cuando llamamos para decirles que no pueden hacer nada al respecto y no van a enviar lo que habíamos pagado para entonces simplemente colgó el teléfono tan frustrante y grosero después de gastar bastante dinero. Nuestra comida se arruinó y quedó muy insatisfecho por el miembro del personal que no vamos a volver después de esto. Es un servicio terrible.

My first time visiting dragon castle for my stepdaughters birthday, food is average for the price, they brought a beef dish and left my husband waiting for over 20min for the rice, by this time his meat was cold so he had to cancel the rice and I shared my noddles with him. There are many other Chinese restaurants that cost less and food and service are on point. I guess they think they can charge a lot just because the place is nice to the eye and it’s in elephant & castle. Honestly not coming back again

Allergy sufferers please beware. My wife is allergic to alium and capsicum families of food - airbourne as well. We ordered our food and explained our situation. All good so far. Food comes out and placed in front of my wife. On top are lots of capsicums. Food taken away again to be remade. That would seem to be ok, mistakes happen, get over it. However, a similar thing happened on our previous trip to the same place. Owner was there on that occasion and took our complaint to heart and said he would look into it. This tme we went no manager or owner. There is no set procedures at this place to ensure that the kitchen follow through on allergy information. There is going to be a serious incident that will happen here. Most places we go to there seems to be a system in place where a senior member of staff takes the order and check through until the food arrives at the guest. Here the order is placed with allergy information provided and then all responsibility is dismissed, yet the same people bring out the food. No checking that the order is correct. They even went onto taking a service charge on our bill even though the food was delivered piecemeal and was getting cold while food was being remade Not happy at all. Nobody interested in resolving issues - no manager present at this, the busy period. I have no confidence that this place will take you seriously as long as they get paid!!! BEWARE.

I had dinner in this place with my girlfriend a few days ago. Not a great experience to be honest with you. Although the atmosphere is nice and the service is efficient, the food was not that great. We had stir-fried rice ( which did not seem to be stir-fried and had a funny smell ). We also ordered a mixed grill with pork and duck. The pork was good but the duck was not at all. It was full of bones which made the edible part very small and it just did not taste good. I would not go there again. I should give 2 stars but want to give 3 only for the service and atmosphere. We also had another dish based on pork belly which was good. We didn't take anything to drink apart from tap water and we paid a total of 35ish each.

Local to work, it does have more choices of authentic dishes and would recommend the beef brisket with mooli, but portion size seemed to have shrinked overtime (sometimes saturated with too much oil!). Prices are above average, not the cheapest. Nice decoration, which i recalled it was closed for a long time for refurb. Sometimes you get staff are trained, and sometimes you get amateurs, but hey, gotta start somewhere. General vibes, this is the fancier higher end chinese restaurant compared to the others, but there's food/taste competition nearby.

Last night, I dined with friends at Dragon Castle in London and had a wonderful experience. I want to particularly highlight the service provided by "Ming", who was exceptional throughout the evening. From the moment we arrived, Ming made us feel welcome and comfortable. His attention to detail and kindness made a difference. The food, as always, was excellent and served promptly. Everything was delicious, from the starters to the main courses. To top off the evening, Ming surprised us with some complimentary small desserts, a much-appreciated gesture and the perfect ending to a great dinner. I highly recommend Dragon Castle, not only for its excellent food but also for its first-class service. Thanks again to Ming for making our night so special. We will be back soon!

Edit: It's been a couple of visits now and progressively getting bad. This probably will be our last visit here. The double cooked pork was oily and tasteless. The egg fried rice was also not so nice. The braised beef claypot was very good. But if 2 out of 4 of our dishes were poor then I wouldn't want to be playing food roulette with the menu trying to guess what might be good. Very disappointed. Service is still amazing! ‐--------------------------------------------------------------------- Lovely lovely lovely is an understatement. Sizzling beef in black bean sauce Special fried rice Bbq pork in puff pastry Taro laced pork and shrimp. We chanced upon this place and it was an amazing surprise. Food was excellent. Service was lovely. Can't wait to come here more regularly. Sad that we don't live close by. Went there again. Other than the mix-up in menus, we had no issues. Beef in pepper sauce was yum. Scallops with asparagus were ok. They say XO sauce, but it really isn't. Mango pudding was so so so good!

This is one of my go to places and best for tasty quality Chinese, but sadly the chef must have changed. The dim sum still tasted ok, but were very garish coloured (bright pink and bright green, using unnatural food colouring). The rest of what I ordered tasted bland. For example the egg fried rice was stodgy and stuck together. The bean curd mapo tofu lacked any flavour and I could have made it better using packet sauce. Really disappointing as I loved this place before. Fingers crossed it returns to it former glory.

I have been going the Dragon Castle on and off over the past 8 years. The food just isn't good enough. In my opinion, the restaurant has all the ingredients to be super successful, but for the ingredients they use in the food. Chicken satay, its not complicated, but the texture of the meat had us query if it actually was chicken, and the peanut sauce...was just bitter. 1/2 a CRISPY aromatic duck (not cheap) was a bag of bones in wet fatty meat...and a dribble of hoisin sauce. They a 2 mins from my door but I will never go again unless they change suppliers and get back to real cooking, authentic dishes. This all seemed microwaved.

My 60th birthday was supposed to be memorable. My family had booked ahead and all came as a surprise for me and the restaurant set aside 2 big tables for us. However, the service was horrendous and ruined what should and could have been a great night. Waited over an hour for any food. It seems they had drafted in staff who had never set foot in the place before and knew nothing about the menu. This used to be a lovely Chinese restaurant with great food. However with all the Uber eats and other couriers in and out of there, it’s just a takeaway with some tables that will be served when they can be bothered.

My friends and I went there for lunch on 2024-04-21. We ordered 10 dishes and sadly none of them tasted good. It is unusual for me to leave food on the table at the end of a meal but the food generally tasted not fresh, the fried dim sums were oily and dry, everything just seemed they were cooked a long time ago. We felt rather thirsty all day after the lunch which is the tell tale sign of heavy handed MSG. The only good thing about the restaurant was that it was quiet so you wouldn’t need to shout to hear your friends talk. Overall I’d not recommend.

It used to be one of my go-to Dim sum places but I was disappointed with the quality of food (many things came cold/lukewarm, shaolongbao had holes already or broke easily which suggests frozen and served without vinegar/ginger etc etc) and the general experience wasn’t pleasant this time….perhaps the chef or the management changed??

I’ve visited Dragon Castle perhaps a dozen times over the past 15 years and today was by far the most disappointing. Most dim sum dishes generally lacked freshness (the shui mai even tasted a bit off) with most of our order pretty average - the fried rice was almost devoid of flavour, tasted like a novice cook’s version. Nice service and relaxing atmosphere - although the latter is perhaps a function of the restaurant being less busy now due to a fall in standards maybe. Sadly a disappointing experience today and unlikely to be back for a while until standards improve

We have been going here for about 7 years and it has always been great and by far the best Chinese around. Sadly on our last visit things were very different. We ordered the crispy duck and the cucumber that came with it was clearly off. They went to replace it and said this one is from the fridge which shocked us as they should all be kept in the fridge. The other food was also really below standard. Something has changed here, maybe the chef but unfortunately we will not be going back again after this experience.

Shocking service and appalling food! This visit was very, very poor, mainly because our expectations were higher perhaps? There wasn’t any welcome of any sort and the restaurant was cold. The older lady, who appeared to be in charge, was rude and non responsive as she marched through the trading areas. We paid £147 on the evening which was a waste of money and we will definitely not return. This was so disappointing as we are local people, enjoy Chinese food and this restaurant used to have a good reputation! Clearly I would not recommend this place! Disappointed to say the least!

I have been here before the place was renovated. Reserved a table for 4 @2pm for Sunday lunch. The drinks arrived but for 40mins nothing came to the table. at 2.45pm we inquired what was happening. Seems like there was no communication between the waitress and the kitchen. Several people came to inquire, nothing happened until the manager came at about 3.20pm to ask what was happening. We were just about to get up and walk out. Finally, the starters and the food etc all came together at about 3.45pm, at that time we were not hungry any more and the dumplings we were so looking forward to having were cold and left. While they can be busy, they have to look after all their customers, not a selected few. Awful experience and our Sunday was completely spoilt. Will not be going there again.

The shrimp fried rice is plentiful and delicious. I don't know the name of the menu, but the beef stir-fried noodles were also delicious. However, the wonton noodles were not tasty, so I only ate the wontons, and the dim sum basket I ordered instead was not very good, starting with the fluorescent green dumpling skin. If you want to eat it, just eat the shrimp fried rice.

good dim sum. Well frequented. Book at wends. Usual service and same vibe as most Chinese restaurants. Elephant And Castle local place avoids West End Chinatown which is good.

Lovely restaurant for group settings. Food is plentiful, tasty and made fresh. we were here for team Christmas meal and had a satisfying experience. The service was attentive and polite. Lots of options to choose from. Loved their dimsums.

Their food is excellent, particularly their hot soup, which is exceptionally tasty. They offer lobsters, but the price might come as a surprise since it's based on the current market price. I highly recommend trying their spicy fish pot; it has a rich gravy and robust flavors.

The dim sum was really good. They offer a great variety of styles, and all of them are tasty. I highly recommend the cheese and prawn shrimp rolls and deep fried custard bun. Their dim sum offer stops at 5pm so make sure you go before!

Lovely food and really good portion for the price!! 💯 Some of the dishes look really spicy but they’re definitely manageable for someone like me whose spice tolerance isn’t super high 😆 Also the interior is super cool, there’s even a koi pond at the entrance

前几天去象堡的金龙堡吃饭,距离地铁步行5分钟,店面超级大,装修也很中式。就在kiki&miumiu中超对面,地理位置超棒。有两广地区的小伙伴来这里吃过早茶,说还不错,目前还有£1 小笼包一笼,吃到赚到。 . 看到他们的冒菜和麻辣香锅很诱人就冲了,而且人均:£15。冒菜,我们加了鱿鱼、豆腐、鸡胗,越吃越辣,越吃越香,很下饭!而且豆腐吸收了辣椒的香气,咬下去一口,香味在舌尖绽放!鱿鱼很细心的切了纹路,方便食材吸收配料的味道,很入味。 . 水煮牛肉,牛肉分量超级大,加上黄芽菜等装点,香中带辣,食材也很新鲜,很下饭! . 胡椒猪肚鸡汤,超出我预想的一道菜,鸡肉非常嫩滑,猪肚处理的也很干净,白胡椒和红枣的味道浸入在汤汁内,喝一口都是温暖!两个人吃小份就可以,人多的可以点大份猪肚鸡。寒冷的冬日喝一杯暖暖的猪肚鸡汤才是真的暖心。 . 香焗黄金虾,采用咸蛋黄的做法,一端上来就是咸蛋黄的香味扑鼻而来,表层咸咸的口感加上新鲜的虾肉,超级好吃!两个人都没吃完这一盘大虾,太实在

What has happened to Dragon Castle? We've been coming here for years. This time the place was dirty and tired looking. The waiters were completely uninterested in serving us drinks. We ordered our usual starters. They came very quickly and were terrible. We didn't stay for main course. Very sad.

Excellent dimsum and warm service! We found the dimsum to be of high quality with some subtle differences to most of the dimsum we’ve had in Chinatown which we thought perhaps that meant this was made by the restaurant kitchen themselves. All really tasty. The service was very warm and sweet, felt just like at home being fed and taken care of by nice aunties :). No issue with card payments. Would definitely come again! Contrary to another review, didn’t see any separation of ‘authentic’ and ‘foreigners’…!

Can only comment on the dim sum menu, but everything we tried was very good. Service was attentive but not overbearing and prices were fair considering the quality.

Very good service but questionable value for money. 2 starters, 2 main, 2 desserts, 3 small beers for 84£ does not sound super interesting for a "normal" Chinese restaurant.

We waited 30 minutes for a table and the family behind us were seated before us and we asked for chilli oil 5 times and there was raw shrimp in the Hak Gao

Very fresh ingredients and a lovely waitress who said it was her third day but was super helpful. We had the dim sum basket and chilli prawns followed by pork belly and tofu, with jasmine rice and beers. Very nice.

We left with no service at all!A lot of the things ordered didn’t come, some forgotten others not taken. I felt like I was in a canteen. Food is ok. First time and most likely the last.

Great selection of Dim Sum for Sunday lunch and you can see they are home made vs Chinese restaurants in Soho.

Just been to the New Hing Loong Chinese restaurant in Brampton Road, Bexleyheath, good portions, good food, service good. Long may it continue.

I made the mistake of ordering grilled fish. Apparently I was supposed to have told the waiter when ordering that I did not want the fish too dry. The grilled fish was hard and dry. It was a waste of money and response from the guy who served us was very unprofessional even though he was a likeable character. Won't be going back here.

Amazing experience, the food was perfect and the window table made everything even more special. A big thank you to Razuan for looking after us, one of the best services we’ve ever received. The whole team was great and the whole experience was excellent! Would definitely recommend!

Nos alojamos en el hotel de al lado, así que el restaurante hermanas de graduación fue muy conveniente después de un largo día.
