Customer Review Summary

Complaints recur nearly as often, though. Several describe long delivery waits, one left over an hour with a meal short after staff simply decided not to send it, another reporting a two-hour-plus wait and food arriving cold despite being told it was "on its way." Others found their chicken and chips burnt, sauces bland, or orders mixed up. One reviewer reports finding a hair and a piece of wood in a munchies box ordered for a pregnant family member. A few also mention an unfriendly phone manner and frustration that only cash is accepted.

    “The salt and chilli chicken here was an absolute dream, so big and filled with chicken. I tried canton house twice as they had higher rating and everything was horrible the salt and chilli chicken wasn’t even chicken it was just the crispy outer shell and chips were basically dipped in the sea 🤢red dragon will deffo be my new go to !! …”

    “Food was good enough, but service was very poor. An hour after ordering, I called to find out how long we would have to wait and the meal was sent out then. Despite nothing being said either by the server or the driver, we were a meal short. When I called up to ask why, I was told they had run out so decided to send nothing. I was also told they had tried to call me, but I had my phone in my pocket and there were no missed calls. Very disappointing and spoiled a nice evening.”

    “Ordered for 5 adults april 2026, food here was terrible, sauces are all almost the same and very flavourless, they also got our order wrong. Cash payment only is inconvenient. Would not order here again”
