Square Meal review of Dragon Castle:

If this superb, hangar-sized restaurant were based in Chinatown, customers would be falling over themselves in an effort to book a table. But the improbable location, at one extreme of Walworth Road in Elephant & Castle, guarantees open space for dim sum that eclipses most of Soho’s offerings by far. The kitchen turns out impeccable dishes with delicate flavours in the best tradition of Cantonese. A hotpot of belly pork & mushrooms, for example, is rich & hearty, while wilted mustard greens are studded with roasted cloves of garlic. Shanghai specialities & Szechuan flavours add another string to the kitchen’s bow, albeit with noteworthy restraint: a dish of prawns with pickled Szechuan chillis is gently spiced. Yet despite these & many other enticements, the only long wait you can expect around here is for the regeneration of the Elephant & Castle to kick in.
