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.

A nice venue. We had a late booking on Sunday so it was very quiet. A nice location. The food was nice but the quesadillas could have had a bit more flavouring or excitement to them. Nice cocktails and very friendly staff.

Ideal for pre theatre dinner if going to Southwark Playhouse. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Only drawback was that washrooms were upstairs.
