I recently visited Little Dragon Cafe for lunch with my fiancé. While the food was tasty and the prices were reasonable, a few aspects of the experience were less enjoyable.
First, the ambiance: although the atmosphere is cozy, we left the cafe with our clothes and hair smelling strongly of fried food, which was quite unpleasant. Better ventilation would make a big difference.
Second, I found their service charge policy problematic. An 18% service charge is automatically added to the bill, but it’s not clearly disclosed beforehand. On top of that, they still ask for additional tips, which feels a bit misleading. Transparency about pricing is important, and this policy left a bad impression.

Read moreHorrible! Horrible! Horrible! Called they told me to order by website. Did that and it said food ready in 25 minutes. Went there to pick up and waited 80 minutes!!! Others waiting longer. Total chaos. Bad management. All fixable if manager or owner cares. But they only care to give excuses. I will not list the excuses here. Owner must be horribly incapable. Thousand of websites in the world have auto adjusting to long order completion times when there are too many orders. No excuse is acceptable. I miss old owners (Henrys). I have ordered here twenty times over 10 years. This is my LAST...
