Description

Once a treasured dining spot for many, Royal Dragon has recently seen a dip in customer satisfaction. While some diners rave about the exceptional flavors, like delicious chicken balls and sweet and acidic pork, others describe unfortunate experiences with overcooked dishes, bland flavors, and unprofessional service. Complaints about long wait times and incorrect orders have left patrons frustrated. Despite a few loyal customers vowing to return, the overall sentiment leans towards disappointment. As Royal Dragon strives to reclaim its former glory, diners remain divided on whether it can live up to its reputation as a top choice for Chinese cuisine.

Not tried this takeaway for a while and I know they have changed ownership fairly recently, previous experiences were very good. I ordered 2 Thai curries (Beef red and Pork Green) and egg fried rice. Can't really say they were in any way authentic Thai,maybe I was expecting too much. Very bland and very little heat. Will not be so lazy next time and make my own !!

I have been ordering from Royal Dragon for many years for takeout, as I have always found their food exceptional. However, my experience this weekend was disappointing. The food was bland, very salty, and not as fresh as it used to be. I ended up throwing it away, and this has deterred me from returning to the restaurant.

We have been patronizing this Chinese restaurant for several years now, but we were disappointed to find that our recent orders have not been up to the standards we were used to. Our takeaway last Friday was particularly bland, and sadly, this is not the first time we have noticed a decline in their quality.

Put an order in for food, told 45 minutes wait. 1hour later still nothing so rang to be told it 's on its way. 15 minutes later, nothing. Ring again to be told 'oh it should be there '. Well obviously it 's not. Told to wait another 10 minutes to see if food turns up. Still nothing. Call back, they hadn 't even attempted to call the driver to check. Turns out the woman who took the order never put it through to the kitchen so an hour and a half wait for absolutely nothing. Complete joke! Don 't waste your time.

I made a phone call for a takeaway service. I was extremely disappointed with the customer service skills with the person on the other end of the phone being extremely rude, everything seemed too much hassle despite there being no alterations with any of my meals that I had ordered. This is not the first time I have been spoken to in this manner but after a year of not returning I though I would give it another go. However, I was extremely disappointed and this will without a doubt be the last time I will be returning. There are 2 other perfectly good Chinese takeaways in the same town both of which are very welcoming and are extremely polite with amazing food.
