Royal China in Middlesbrough

Worst Chinese I have ever ordered, the only take away I’ve put straight in the bin. Salt and pepper chicken wasn’t sealed it was in a half opened paper/card container, and was actually cold, it was just plain cold chicken and black onions. No hot bag from the driver, wrong can delivered, hard cold rice. Never again.

Beef Mushroom & Rice were very nice, Wings were tasty too! Chicken balls unfortunately were not really edible, Extremely hard to take a bite out of them. Never had hard chicken before (Chicken itself, not the batter)

arrived late then was no pancakes for the duck so they sent lettuce leaves. did phone up lady told me they had run out of pancake wraps . what's is the purpose of duck rolls with out the rolls. meal was spoilt.

All I can say is it was worth it 💯💯💯

Sent wrong sauce asked for curry for sweet and sour which I’m allergic too so full meal basically gone to waste cos who would eat curry sauce dry. Food freezing

delivery time came and went then they added another 30 minutes to delivery. two hours it took to come. request refund but got a poxy £3 credit!.... customer lost.

Delivery took 2 hours 50 minutes. Food arrived cold and curry sauce burnt and taste of smoke. Meal was not edible

order didn't arrive, estimated delivery time came and went, tried to call the restaurant and was met with an answerphone message saying their restaurant is closed until Thursday and they will see us Friday, then when clicking on them via Just-Eat they were "not taking orders" even though the shop shows open 1600-2230. . . DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT

But it didn’t matter that it was 20 late as the food was great, no complaints at all….YUM

Curry sauce was inedible as it was 2 thick was like jelly and the spare rips barely had any meat in them and when the did it was really dry

Excellent food Excellent quality and quantity aplenty.

He special chow mei had no taste at all

I ordered chicken with cashew nuts and got peanuts instead

extremely greasy chips thay wjere deffo not salt and pepper ones as ordered. ribs dry and meatless. beef was far too chewy. 40 odd pounds spent on wasted food. never again

10/10 they have never let me down they cook nice hot tasty food with loads of flavour !it’s deffo become my go to place for a Chinese takeaway tried years to find a decent one nothing even comes close

Food is absolutely dire: salt and pepper chicken more like they've flung it into the box with no salt and pepper on dryer than the sahara desert

Terrible food they didn’t even give me what I ordered

Late delivery, food arrived almost 1.5hours after ordering and was mostly cold. Wrong orders received, wrong sauces received meaning the food was dry as the sauces provided were not to our taste. Submitted info and received nothing back

Special chow main had 2 pieces of chicken in it !!! Would never order again

If you want plain chips and bland chicken nuggets, order the salt and pepper chicken because there was no salt and pepper seasoning on them at all. Rubbish.

Chop suey tasted like it had been rinsed in a sieve before serving. The duck rolls were nothing like duck, the chips & egg fried rice were dry, as for the noodles & sweet & sour sauce, they were OK at best. Will not be ordering from here again.

10/10 unbelievable, apart from the duck.

Always beautiful food, really nice

really disappointing this time, noodles were dry very bland and cold, pancake rolls were not the same as usual and didn't taste good at all. very small portion of seaweed. £56 order and not even a bag of prawn crackers thrown in.

Chips taste like they’ve just been warmed up, curry tastes like perfume.

Food did not come and restaurant didn’t answer the phone

Order arrived late . Ordered beef chow mien and spare ribs was cold and the beef was a challenge on your jaw and the ribs lived up to the name ‘spare’ last time I order from here .

Nearly 40 minutes late and items missing from order…. Usually good but rethinking using them again

1st time we ordered it was amazing but this this time wasn’t the best the black bean was more spice then any other flavour and the sweet and sour sauce just tasted like vinegar

Beautiful food, delivered on time hot, perfect

Friendly service and lots of tasty food, cooked in just 10 minutes for collection. A large selection of 193 dishes (at the time of writing the review), even when discounting the Main Course meals. Main Course further adds to the amount of choice, with 26 sauces/recipes/cooking styles to be made with a choice of 12 meat options (312 possible Main Course combinations at the time of writing this review). Unlike most chinese stores of this type, Main Course dishes can also come with rice or noodles for 30p to £1.50 extra. Quantity was large too. One noodle tub was enough to fill 2 plates. Main Course sauce and meat fills a similar sized tub. Definitely pleased with good: +Phone to counter service +Menu choice +Food flavour and texture (Crispy meat menu items in sauce is sticky on the outside, but this reviewer enjoyed theirs) +Quantity of food in each menu item +Cooking speed for collection (Can't vouch for delivery) It's not on the resturant filled Linthorpe road, but you can be assured wih the quality of food. (2 delivery options: Direct from them, or by Just Eat. Direct delivery is in fact £1.50)

Food lovely and hot on time didn’t wait long at all driver polite am a very happy customer

Excellent quality and quantity, keep up the good work 👏

Top class food, bang on time and piping hot too. Special thanks to a driver that delivered while it was still too hot to eat.

Good food hot and tasty as always

Food was unreal and food came quick

Says open on times.. walked to the building. No lights on. Nobody there.

Food was lovely , hot and tasty

delicious food only issue was it was slightly cold

1st class food will certainly use again

Took too long to come then driver didn’t know where my house was so easy to find too took hour half to deliver

best chinese! literally piping hot everytime and the salt and pepper chicken and chips are unreal! won’t go anywhere else but here 10/10

Good quality and lots of quantity. Keep up the good work and will use again.

Initial delivery time was 6.10pm, rang at 6.25pm and they said "5 minutes" food finally turned up at 6.40pm. Food was almost stone cold. Very disappointed as we usually love this place. Don't think we will order from here again

Food was gorgeous but it did take a while to come. However, the restaurant did take the delivery free off due to the delay which is a good touch.

Over 60 mins late. Was ok food though but wouldn’t order again with it being so late

Unbelievable. Arrived on time and hot even though we are far from the restaurant !

It was late and we live close to the shop but it was only 10 minutes which is understandable and it was so good best Chinese I’ve had

Food was just over half an hour late, chicken balls were hard and not editable. Noodles burnt and had black bits in. Would never order again. £30 gone to waste

Amazing food and delivery like always

lovely food, the combo box was great

How hard is it to have curry sauce and chips as a dish?

Totally delighted with the food, will order again from here!

Contacted restaurant numerous times just said it's on way

Food was ok but the prawns weren’t de-vained (yuck) and the curry whilst spicy hotish was quite flavourless (probably personal taste) The rest of the meal was nice. The delivery guy was friendly and polite.

never came. Disappointed and waste of my money and time.

only 1 can of coke came with order

Ordered 3 drinks and recieved none when told driver he just said that's all I have and walked off, p hi oned shop to be told would be sent out and received nothing, and to top it off food was terrible flavourless, chips where like cardboard will definatley not use again

Cold, missing meals and tasteless. I’d avoid ordering from here.

the plum sauce had verry little taste and everything just tasted of grease

The food is usually good and reasonably priced compared to other Chinese takeaways, but this time the food came quite late and I found hair in my udon, quite disappointed, probably won't get food from here anymore.

Ordered the combo box and it absolutely superb, totally hit the stop!! 🤤 it was even good reheated the next day. Also the staff and driver were lovely too.

I ordered egg foo yung,chips,sweet/sour sauce, chicken chow mein it was beautiful and tasty, will be ordering again later

Missing the beef & mushrooms along with cutlery as requested... along with being late.

Paid £26 for 2 combo box A and it was just full of chips barly anything els

Order arrived on time but had items missing, contacted restaurant and they said we could have the amount of item credited. Eventually was able to get the item delivered 2 hours after initial delivery arrived

Food was cold, salt and pepper beef had sooooo much salt on, couldn’t eat! Chicken balls came…. No sauce so dry!!

Noodles didn’t come on the order

great food, tasty and hot and great value for the share box

Food hasn't even arrived, been updated on justeat telling me to enjoy my food! How can I when it's not even here!

Food arrived delivery driver was kind and greeting but the food was freezing cold and I had to re hear it in the air fryer

Waste of money stay away from them ...

food terrible. sesame prawn on toast burnt, terrible portion, ribs no meat all gristle

Had to ring twice to check on delivery - very disappointed. The food was good but by the time it got here it was warm, not hot.. shouldn't take 2 hours to come when I'm a 12 minute drive away. Driver didn't even apologise

Food was OK. Small portions. Crispy beef nice. Chips cold and not great quality. Chow mein was nice. Chicken soup big lumps of chicken but also big gloopy bits (where the starch clumped together I assume) Got a million questions from the driver when he arrived though... confused as to why..ended up having to show proof we ordered and proof of our address...weird

Order arrived 20 mins late, not a problem but curry sauce missing with our food which to eat is dry, told 1 hour for delivery of sauce which now we have to re heat our rice/food. Not happy at all!!

Chips rock hard, no flavour to the egg fried rice and curry was too sweet

Absolutely trash, garlic all over the chicken in massive chunks, chips soggy and not cooked properly, payed for drinks and never came with the food. Honestly ridiculous not ordering from here again

Noodles all stuck together and not crispy like I ordered absolutely awful !

Food was ‘out for delivery’ for an hour. Was assured it wouldn’t be cold but it was. Salt n pepper chips were soggy.

Curry very runny and cold when arrived so tasteless

Could not eat the beef. Hardly edible. Disgusting!

I made a preorder and was suprised when it came 20 mins early. The staff are very helpful staff and the food was delicious I would highly recommend

Driver hasn't delivered my order

Didn’t get my drink with order

I understand about the delivery time, it was a really bad night with relentless rain and bad driving conditions, but to then receive our meal which was barely warm and inedible. We couldn't warm the chicken and the sliced vegetables were wilted and like rubber, the egg fried rice was just a massive lump and wouldn't break down it just went into smaller lumps, the soup is usually beautiful, it was cold and like jelly. We ended up £27.00 out of pocket and nothing to eat.

I didn’t receive the drink I paid for

Would have been even better but for the prawn crackers missing.

Food was actually inedible. Tasted like it was warmed up from the day before. Strange tasting curry sauce and eating the beef was like doing a hours workout. Will not return.

Wrong sauce again... I know mistakes happen but it was the same last time. They offered to send out the right one but it would take half an hour... cold chips doesn't appeal.

Scrumptious!! Quantity and quality are excellent as always

Chips & chicken soggy.. noodles burnt. Tasted gross:(

Fantastic delicious duck in plum sauce... really recommend! Lots of delicious duck. Egg fried rice was very nice too. Delivery was on time.

Missing the chips to the order. All the various meats were tough from each dishes.

Food took an hour and a half to arrive and then the squid and ribs where missing. The man on the phone was rude like he dodnt belive us.. but agreed to send the missing items eventually. The delivery driver who returned with the missing food was absolutely lovely and apologised when it wasn't even his mistake. The food its self was not good. Meats in the curry, the squid and sweet and sour where all overcooked, dry but fatty and extremely chewy somehow.. Chips rock-hard and it was all cold. Absolutely do not reccommend and not worth the price.

Never turned up order was cancelled after waiting

Tried it because it cost less than where I normally go and was very happy. Couldn’t fault it. Tasted great, food quality was good, arrived on time

That worst Chinese food we got a takeaway delivery which was an hour later than stated that wasn’t the best but the staff where helpful when I rang every dish that came was terrible special fried rice was the only thing eatable at £25 for the order as well CHOOSE ANOTHER AVOID THIS PLACE !

Other than being late it was great as always

Food was lovely! Will definitely 100% order again, cheap for how much is given in those combo boxes and the starter boxes also
