Dragon Castle

Dragon Castle is absolutely not recommended if you travel with the buggy. It appears that the management policy on pushchair is leave it at the entrance. Unattended! Unfortunately none of the waiters know of this particular policy but the head waiter. The options were we can have the buggy with us or the high chair, or both if we are a party of 10! This message were delivered after half an hour of being in the restaurant and in the most rude manner. We left with a very hungry baby. This rudeness, stress and undecided policy is totally unnecessary. I would rather travel the extra distance to Yi Ban or Royal China for better quality food, and be treated like a human.

We have eaten here on many an occasion. I have found the food to be good and service brisk and efficient. I do enjoy eating here.

Over the weekend my girlfriend and I visited Dragon Castle for the second time. We have had dim sum there before which was some of the best we’ve tasted. Certainly better than anywhere in Chinatown and extremely reasonable. The full menu was as equally pleasing, containing traditional Cantonese dishes along with authentic hotpots and stews packed with flavour – a personal favourite. The only minor complaint was that the staff speak little English and we felt rushed as the staff pounced on every empty dish. Overall I would recommend this to anybody and will certainly return.

Came here with the family tonight as I've been here before and thought it was an excellent restaurant but tonight was the totally opposite! The staff was unfriendly, waited ages for food, food was so disappointing and the bill was ludicrous!! Even put a service charge when there was no service!!

I'm never stepping foot back here again and thats for sure!

Once again there are reviews of puzzling hostility on this site.

We went yesterday as a duo and had an excellent lunch. Chinese Tea, Half a roast Duck, Jellyfish and Pork Hock, dim sums - steamed prawn dumplings, prawn cheung fun, Chicken feet in blackbean sauce, bean curd wrapped pork and prawn, glutinous rice in wrappers x 2.

There was no discernible difference from Chinatown. This is a good cantonese restaurant. It is not Xinjiang, that is an entirely different style of Chinese food, like Turkish is from Portuguese.

Service was brisk but attentive. The place was nearly full but we were found a table - it was about 2.30 on a Sunday. The meal came to £43 including service and we took much of the duck and the jellyfish home for dinner.

We have been before, and been pleased on the two previous occasions

We came here when this place first opened, when it had had excellent reviews from The Times, The Guardian, The Observer and it was brilliant. Interesting menu, varied, authentic. We have just been again, around 2 years later, and it was disgusting. THIS IS NOT CHINESE FOOD!

Flavourless, bland menu which you could find in any bog standard chinese. Its not cheap either. It has gone to seed inside and we couldnt want to get out of there. It's sad that it has become like this.

I even told the waitress it was bad, she agreed and said she doesnt eat it! what further proof is needed.

If you want a great chinese in this area there is an excellent one, of the Xinjiang province, its called Silk Road and is on Camberwell Church St.
