Halton Dragon Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Oakville

Been coming here since 2007 and now this place is a dump.

Ordered through Uber eats a combination platter (they all come with fried rice)

However when trying to check out you are FORCED to upsell and buy noodles (see attachment). Fine, why not.

When food arrived there was no rice. I called the store and the store owner told me and talked to me as if I don’t know how to use the Uber Eats app and rudely goes off and explains if you ‘choose’ (forced) noodles this substitutes noodles instead of rice. See screenshot, no option to place the order UNLESS you pay EXTRA for noodles and it does not say anywhere you do not get the fried rice when you are forced to choose noodles for an upcharge.

Store owner argued with me and told me it’s working for “everyone else”. I emailed Uber and got my whole meal for free but Uber has still not taken action on this. Avoid shady tactics. At least if you are going to FORCE people to buy noodles the least you can do is give them $1 worth of rice as well.

Not to mention the food tasted very oily and fishy (did not order fish), quality has gone beyond down hill and they have...

Initially I came on here to give them a 1 star as this was one of the saddest Chinese food I've ever had. But I'm giving this place a star back for their food seeing that they are MSG free. I get what they are doing. Props to them for keeping it healthier, but real Chinese food has MSG in everything. If you're looking for that traditional Cantonese fast food taste? You won't get it here.

I would say this is the HOSPITAL food version of Chinese food around. At best. Probably appropriate for the hospital guests and elderly crowd of the area. The sweet and sour sauce has barely any flavor or color. The "popcorn" fried style of sweet and style of sweet and sour pork was missing. It just felt like they use the same piece of random meat for everything. You could have told me that it was a piece of the beef from a beef and broccoli dish that was covered in sweet and sour sauce and I would have agreed with you. The portions are also quite small. The takeout container is about the size of my outstretched palm width. $15. Not worth the price. Customer service was...

Let's be honest with each other here. This place is most likely the worst Chinese food in the GTA and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. We all knew this when we ordered.

So how is it still around? If you're on lunch, hung over or just need a quick China food fix this was always that place with their cheap combo meals. I just ordered one and it was absolutely terrible, but I knew that before I ordered.

The problem herein lies now that they raised their prices. They are now more expensive than actual Chinese food spots with actually decent food. They lost their identity as the cheap quick China food dump and are now pretending to be premium.

If they do not lower their prices back to match the quality of the food I imagine they won't be around much longer which is a shame BC it's always good to have a cheap Chinese...
