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.

Dragon Castle was great for years but no longer. Food and service are currently nowhere near previous standards.

Delicious food served promptly. We visited for dim sum and the variety of dishes was impressive. There are most allergens mentioned on the dim sum menu and some on the main menu.

We ordered out favourites, and it was a very good idea - they were delicious! The service was congenial and the restaurant was full, which was well deserved. It was, to me, a good sign that so many Chinese/Asian people were there having a meal.

Have been going to this restaurant for 12 years and it’s definitely not as good lately and the prices are much higher - £100 for lunch dim sum was steep. Most of the dishes came out cold or at best tepid when ordinarily they would be steaming hot. Just a very lacklustre experience.
Dragon CastleResponded on October 3, 2024
