I HAVE GIVEN THIS PLACE 5 STAR REVIEWS ON HERE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS BUT NOT ANY MORE! I order a meal for delivery last week it was my partners birthday and we spent almost £30 on a meal for both of us. It had been a long time since we had a delivery as we didn't bother during the lockdowns as carry out places were so busy. We ordered the following:- SPECIAL CURRY/FRIED RICE CHICKEN & MUSHROOM/FRIED RICE SPARE RIBS IN PEKING SAUCE SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN It was midweek but the order still took 40 mins it used to be 15. Food was hot so good there. The "special" curry was all curry sauce and sparse....really sparse...ingredients....a total rip off. The sweet and sour chicken's batter was soggy they really don't know how to make batter. The peking spare ribs were the worst thing I have ever had the misfortune to buy from any chinese resturant in my 45 years of ordering from them. It was just BONES nothing but BONES there was no meat on them at all but even worse was the sauce!!! Anyone who has ever bought this dish will know that what you pay extra for is the luxurious, delicious, peking sauce, which is a rich thick sauce which tastes absolutely DELICIOUS but this was just sour WATER it was absolutely DISGUSTING and was the exact same sauce as the disgusting sweet and sour sauce which was just SOUR SOUR SOUR there was no sweetness to it, no tomato, in it no pineapple in it, just pure GARBAGE....the whole meal was a disaster. Three days later we tried again at the silver star Chinese in Dumbarton East and oh my god what a difference the special curry was full of ingredients and the peking ribs were EXACTLY what they should be that luxurious delicious sauce we all know and love. The ribs themselves were thick with eating and they even made it look visibly good by garnishing it with red and green peppers, onions, etc. Never ever again will I go to "Tastes good" (hah!!!!) not!!!! STAY WELL AWAY FOLKS THE HONEYMOON IS WELL AND TRULY OVER!

Ordered BBQ spare ribs assuming they would come with sauce, this was not the case. Went looking online for the menu afterwards (which is a hassle to fine by the way) and discovered that they charge 30p for sauce. When I phoned and ordered I wasn't asked whether I would like them with sauce or not so what I received was a tray of 5 ribs, 3 of which were extremely small, that was bland-tasting, dry and overcooked. Oh and they also came with a poorly cut slice of lemon...why? Is it to supposed to offset the dryness and blandness? Know what would have done a better job of that? Sauce.

I have been using Red Cap for years and have now moved away from the town but the food is so good that I go back to Dumbarton just for my Chinese once a month. A fabulous wee place!
