Royal China - Baker Street in City of London, Westminster

Mixed feelings about this place. First time I went it was one of my favorite meals in London. I didn't remember what I ordered and next time I went, was appalled by the taste of the food. It was just BLAND like it was pub food or something. The crab sauce tofu was terrible and had no salt or flavor and also looked like a failure. The dry chili garlic chicken was also tasteless and pointless. I would be vegetarian if that was what chicken normally tastes like. Again, it was really good the last time I went so it's not all terrible, just very unsure if I would try it again, especially for the price.

Very nice Chinese restaurant. Went there for lunch and had dim sum. The dumplings are just great.

I used to go to the Bayeswater branch, before it closed. I still like the food, but I think it was better there. Either way: my place for dim sum when I’m in London.

Best dim sums I've ever had Beats any other London restaurant by far Honest prices and fast service

The food was oaky. Nothing exceptional. The service was very average. I informed the lady taking orders that I am ready to order but she came to our table after 5mins. She was busy taking to the waiter next to her. No apology for making us wait! I informed her that I wanted my starters first then my 2nd course (Crispy Duck) but it all came together. Before we had finished the Duck, came the main course. When I was ready to pay the Bill, the I asked the lady for some wipes. I should not have to ask for it, it should have not had to ask for it, it should have come with the bill. When it came to pay the bill, the lady gave me the card machine and asked me if I wanted to tip. I informed her that the bill already had the 13.5% service charge on it. Her response was "But its more money". The audacity of the staff! This really was the last straw. I am afraid I will never go there again. I had been there a few times. I think they taught I was a tourist in London!

Cantonese food and it was good! Sorry no photo as all food photos had my friends in them.

Consistent quality and taste over the years, no surprise

I had a lovely dinner last night, mostly seafood which was superfresh. We brought our own wine and were pleasantly surprised that the corkage was only £10 a bottle

Very good Chinese restaurant at surprisingly reasonable prices. The Dim Sum was first class and for Central London the prices are reasonable. There is plenty of staff, but they seem to try and avoid eye contact when possible. Other than that, I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I would go here in a heartbeat for the food. Delicious morsels, so well presented.

Best dim sum in town in my opinion.

The steamed pork ribs cannot be chewed. After charging a service fee, the service was extremely poor. When I asked for an extra serving of chili sauce, I was told that there would be an additional charge. What the hell kind of restaurant, especially one waitress with a very bad service attitude, very bad. I’m not here to spend money to see how you look. It’s a rubbish restaurant, avoid lightning! ! ! ! !

Recuerdo La China Real como era cuando abrió por primera vez, y vivir en Marylebone era mi lugar. Verduras bellamente talladas adornaron platos de comida maravillosamente cocinada y servida. No he visitado por unos años y pensé en volver para una visita, ya que un amigo era de los Estados Unidos que también solía amar ir allí con nosotros cuando vivían en el Reino Unido, soñando con sus increíbles chuletas de cerdo envueltas en papel Lo que encontramos anoche fue una pobre imitación de lo que estábamos acostumbrados. El servicio fue brusco y grosero. El lugar había perdido su licencia de licor para que pueda traer el suyo propio por una tarifa de descorche. Optamos por el té para que no nos molestara. El menú ha sido severamente despojado de nuevo al igual que la decoración. Los entrantes eran pasables. Peor no más chuletas de cerdo envueltas en papel. Sin embargo, la red eléctrica no era comestible. Los fideos de Singapur llegaron fríos como piedras. Nos quejamos amablemente y se lo llevaron y estalló en un microondas. ¿Cerdo recalentado y gambas? No lo creo. Mencionamos esto y nos encogimos de hombros y el plato volvió a la mesa de todos modos. Crujiente carne de res desmenuzada llegó seca y demasiado dulce con un sabor sintético desagradable. Pollo en salsa de frijoles negros era insípido el arroz al vapor tibia y robusta. Ni una vez nadie vino a comprobar si las cosas estaban bien. A 180 libras por 3 nos fuimos sabiendo que sería nuestra última visita y el triste final de una relación de 30 años.

Possibly the best overall place for dim sum in London. It has a lot to offer and a great selection of traditional Canton-style dishes. The dim sum are as fresh as it gets and prepared on-site. Worth the detour and after a delicious meal I always love to sit and chat for hours sipping on some delicious Jasmine tea. Though Royal China have multiple locations across London, none come close to this one. Make sure to get there by 4pm if you want dim sum.

Very courteous staff in the front. Waitstaff were a bit overwhelmed as it was extremely busy. Dimsums were AWESOME. Had some Vegetarian options but would have liked more.

Food is great. Hospitality is amazing. All staff is very good, specially Andy and Alen.

Very nice place, great food and affordable price. Nice environment

Spent over £300 only for a waitress to keep Coming over and saying you only have 90 mins and it was booked for my son’s 10th Birthday. I would strongly not recommend this place for any special occasions. The chicken satay came out deep fried and all you could taste is oil same as the crispy shredded beef. Overall the attitude was terrible.

If you are looking for a Hong Kong style or Chinese style restaurant, this is a good choice. It is located in the city center so it is very convenient. In addition to selling dim sum, they also sell a lot of Chinese food, such as fried rice or noodles, sweet and sour pork, roast chicken and other different foods. I saw on the Internet that their opening time is 12 noon, but when we called to make a reservation, they said they didn't have a reservation and had to queue up on site. The store will open at 11 o'clock and you can queue up, so maybe their business hours are a bit different. Change. Speaking of queuing, if you really want to come to this restaurant to dine, you really have to come very early during holidays, because there are so many people for some reason. If you don’t come early to wait for a seat, you may have to queue for more than an hour. In addition, they also provide restrooms in the basement, and the restrooms are very clean.

It was completely scam! We booked a table from 7pm to 830pm and arrived on time. The restaurant was so busy that we waited until 730 for a staff to serve us for ordering the food. We ordered around 350pounds for 8 people. The food arrived at 8pm and we started eating. At 830pm sharp, the staff started to collect our dish even we had not finished the food and asked us to pay the bill. When we asked the staff whether we could finish our food because they served us so late and the food arrived so late then that staff was rude and said "Do you forget the time you should return the table?". How could we finish so much food in 30mins? We would never come to this restaurant again.

lovely place nice food , but when we went 28/01/25 we found that they had lost their drinking license , as apparently they forgot to renew it 🙄- what you call efficiency - - So we brought a bottle and were charged £ 10.00 corkage !! you would think they wouldn’t ! as they add a 13% service charge & what you would name this good PR !!

¡Fue una estafa! Reservamos una mesa de 7 pm a 8:30 pm y llegamos a tiempo. El restaurante estaba tan ocupado que esperamos hasta las 730 para que un personal nos atienda para pedir la comida. Pedimos alrededor de 350 libras para 8 personas. La comida llegó a las 8 pm y comenzamos a comer. A las 8:30 pm en punto, el personal comenzó a recoger nuestro plato, incluso no habíamos terminado la comida y nos pidió que pagar la cuenta. Cuando le preguntamos al personal si podíamos terminar nuestra comida porque nos sirvieron tan tarde y la comida llegó tan tarde que el personal fue grosero y dijo "¿Olvidas la hora a la que debes devolver la mesa?". ¿Cómo podríamos terminar tanta comida en 30 minutos? Nunca volveríamos a este restaurante de nuevo.

Have been coming here for years but somehow didn't write a review for it. This review was prompted by a recent wedding dinner when I took a few photos of many banquet dishes. The restaurant is a London institution for Chinese foodies, offering outstanding dimsums and has a good la carte menu with dishes always using the highest quality ingredients. Friendly service, but the staff can sometimes get overwhelmed by the workload.

Fuimos a la China Real en Chinatown. El servicio fue probablemente el peor que he tenido en un tiempo. Rudo, nos apuraste. Esperamos 15 minutos por el arroz. Todos los demás alimentos fueron servidos. Luego nos quejamos de que la comida estaba fría ya que esperamos tanto tiempo. Lo hicieron. Se disculpa. Sólo tomó los platos para calentarlos. Mientras tanto el arroz estaba frío. No ofrece menú de postres. Nos apresuraron. Estábamos muy por debajo de las 2 horas asignadas. Nunca volvería a ir allí. La comida era 4/10 en sabor. Muy aceitoso también.

The restaurant was crowded with Chinese people. Passable Cantonese food, but too clean. The spices were low, the aroma was low and the food lacked a Chinese flavour. The apricot pudding was also good, but there was hardly any apricot flavour, it was more like milk pudding.

The exquisite Chinese Dim sum is probably the best store in the same district

Best Chinese food in London. Make sure to go for lunch so that you don’t miss out on the dim sum.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in London. Very authentic, lots of Dim Sum. There is now also a new menu, with more expensive dishes (not tested, but it seemed sophisticated to me). Warning: no more alcoholic drinks. Reservation essential at meal time. Otherwise, we have to wait (a few seats). The chain also has a very pleasant restaurant in Canary Wharf, on the banks of the Thames, very close to the boat landing stage.

I love this restaurant. The food is very good and it is very spacious.

Great restaurant everything was great

Royal China has been known as one of the best Chinese restaurant around the area. We have visited their harrow branch many times. Tried the Baker Street restaurant for New year’s Eve. I booked and glad I did. It was busy but not too busy. Service was attentive but relaxed. We didn’t feel rushed. The food was lovely. Really enjoyed the crispy duck, dumplings and soft shell crab for starters. Had prawns, chicken and beef for main. The meal was lovely and I would highly recommend the restaurant to others.

Food came rather quickly yet the meat in the main was cold and I couldn’t eat it. We’ve looked around to ask for the bill for a long time, we had to get up to go look for somebody to pay. When we asked for the service charge to be taken off the bill we were told by the waitress that “this is our salary” and the cold meat “is not a big problem” and we can pay £4 service charge instead of £10…will never come back again.

We went yesterday and ordered take food. The sweet and sour chicken was absolutely rotten. It felt it has been over cooked in a microwave. The egg fried rice had a bad smell. The prawns had this horrible watery sauce. I’m sorry we have been coming to this restaurant over 15 years and this was shockingly bad!! Improvement your standards and do not sell substandard food.

Service was absurd no one would come over to order any drinks the food was rubbish last time I was in it was a lot better I will be avoiding paid the whole bill can’t be bothered to complain I asked them to take off service charge and there was taken aback don’t think there know how ignorant and un organised there are

Best dim sum in London. Don’t expect super friendly service, but the staff is efficient. Lots of Cantonese folk every weekend, and menu doesn’t cater too much to local taste. Definitely expect a queue on Saturdays and Sundays, but it’s worth the wait :) Har gau, siu mai, char siu bao, and the other classics are very well done. Soup dumplings are not as delicate as Din Tai Fung , but are more flavourful! Mains are as great, we like to take a combination of some meat and vegetables. I adore the charcoal salted egg yolk buns, best in London. Can’t visit and not get them!

Absolutamente me encanta el dim sum en este restaurante - el mejor que he tenido en Londres. Fantástica diversión cheung, har gau, siu mai, xiaolong bao. Podría continuar. Nunca me decepcionó. Desafortunadamente no se puede reservar los fines de semana para el almuerzo, pero vale la pena esperar si te gusta dim sum.

Old fashion place with great food, we ate and enjoyed everything we ordered!! Nice and helpful staff too Highly recommend trying the place

I've been coming here for over 10 years and will continue to do so. Food is always fresh and outstanding, quality on top-level and service 10/10. Their dumplings are the best in London, and always spot on-there wasn't a day that they lacked seasonings or else, same quality every time. Highly recommended.

Authentic HK Tim Sum in London.

Por favor, evite. La atención al cliente era deficiente y luego cuando llegó la hora del cierre nos presionaban para que termináramos nuestras bebidas y nos aconsejaban que nos lleváramos nuestra comida cuando solo eran las 22 : 15 . Fue una mala experiencia, sí la comida es buena pero sería maravilloso tener el servicio al mismo nivel.

Desserts are very suitable for the elderly Yes, that's right, it's an old man. Because the taste is very bland 🙂 I had to order three times before someone saw me, and finally my order was taken. Then my friend felt that it was not enough and wanted to order another meal, but also ordered three times 🙂 He asked us to wait twice, and we also waited. At least you two waiters should inform the person who can order, right? In the end, the ordering staff from another section came over to help us place our order. I don't understand why your service can be so bad. When the meal was first served, I asked the delivery boy to bring me an extra napkin. When it came time for dessert, there was still no napkin in sight. In the end, I couldn't help but scream one more time, "Damn it!" It turns out that the napkin is outside next door (blocked by the wall). If I know that I applied for it myself and got it, why couldn't you, the first waiter, give it to me? ? If my friend hadn't asked me to come over for dim sum, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet a restaurant that would allow me to write so many words. Keep up the good work👍

Nice food and atmosphere but the service was not the best

Higher end white cloth Chinese restaurant that was able to accommodate our group last minute on a Saturday without reservation. Good food quality and competent table service. Starter soup portion could have been a bit bigger.

This is our go to chinese restaurant whenever whe’re London. We always have the deep-fried babysquid with spicy salt and the lemon chicken. Its a Big restaurant and the sound level is quite High, but its the sound of happy people have a nice time out.

Great food, service and made a great work lunch.

Food was amazing, loved the round tables with the revolving plate to make sharing easier. Staff were attentive and the food came out fresh and delicious

Authentic and delicious dim sum in town. We were so satisfied with the food quality. However, it took around 30 minutes to wait for a table in Sunday lunch time.

Lovely food. Courteous and helpful Staffs. Will definitely return for more delicious cuisine.

Wow the last time I was here was like 25 years ago and the food is still fantastic. I enjoyed it just as I use to back in the days. I can’t believe their are still keep high standard.

Tuve que salir al final. Terrible servicio grosero, sin cuidado ni atención. Demasiados restaurantes para elegir. No creo que les importe. ¡De todos modos uno a evitar!

Wonderful food and atmosphere, if you are thinking of coming out to eat or having an event like a wedding reception here, I'd highly encourage you. Our couple chose this to have their reception and tea ceremony, it was amazing!

No puedo disuadirte lo suficiente de ir a esta broma de un establecimiento. Por favor, no vayas a este restaurante. Fueron cerrados por un corto tiempo (les dejaré que busquen en google por qué) y perdieron su licencia de alcohol después de lo cual abrieron de nuevo y permitieron una "política de traer su propia botella". En primer lugar, no dejan claro cuánto es su comisión por descorche, pero es muy superior a £ 15-20 . No pedimos tanta comida y ciertamente no pedimos ninguna langosta o artículos caros! Pedí una sopa para empezar y estaba caliente y muy fría en algunos bocados. Pedí muy amablemente que se calentara, ya que evidentemente estaba en el microondas y me lo quitaron enojado y dijeron que lo recalentarían. En este punto quería cancelar el pedido pero no pude llamar la atención de nadie para hacerlo. La sopa llegó de nuevo y todavía estaba fría. No quería parecer un cliente quejoso, así que permití el beneficio o la duda en este caso y lo dejé ir. Adelante, pasando los platos principales que también eran descuidados y en microondas, fui a usar el baño y aprovecharon esta oportunidad para empujar muy hábil y rápidamente una máquina de tarjetas frente a la cara de mi pareja. Seguía diciendo que por favor, déjame revisar la cuenta, por favor, déjame ver la cuenta, pero se enfrentó a un camarero impaciente mostrando la máquina de tarjetas en las inmediaciones de su cara diciendo "paga paga". La factura era de 145 libras. 00 Para lo que consumimos, excluyendo el alcohol este precio fue una burla absoluta. Realmente creo que lo obligaron a pagar esta cuenta mientras yo no estaba allí, ya que saben que los habría levantado. Hicieron que mi pareja se sintiera estresada y vulnerable y abusaron de esta situación obligándolo a pagar una cantidad que ni siquiera se le permitió consultar mientras yo no estaba presente. Después de salir, mi compañero estaba muy molesto y dijo que se sentía intimidado y desearía que hubiera estado allí para ayudar con la situación, ya que ciertamente habría dicho algo. Voy a solicitar este dinero a través de la compañía de tarjetas de crédito y plantear una disputa. No vayas aquí.

FOR THE PRICES THE FOOD WAS MID SORRY. THE STAFF WERE NOT VERY NICE TO ME. THE CHICKEN WAS GOOD BUT THE PRICES ARE BAD.

Amazing dim sum - great quality and tasty. We ordered the hot and sour soup, duck pancakes, dumplings and Cheung fen.

This restaurant serves good quality food with a relaxing atmosphere. Service is good. You will have full confidence that your guests will feel delighted if you invited them to there.

The food was very average, the prawn dish had so much chilli that it was almost inedible. The beef with spring onion and ginger had a thick gravy like texture. Overall I have had much better takeaway meals at quarter the price

My Favorite Restaurant since i use to work for the Branch in Bandra waterfield Road and the Branch near in CST Station amazing food learnt a lot from here Thanks to Mr Nevil 😊

What can I say?!! One of the best Chinese restaurants in London! Love it. Comfortable atmosphere, gr8 service and super food and their dim sum are a must. Some of my favourite dishes are shredded smoked chicken (the best I've tasted), shredded crispy duck, sweetcorn chicken soup, fried garlic and pepper squid, sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style, vegetarian fried string beans, Szechuan prawns or prawns in black bean sauce, veg/mixed fried rice, singapore noodles, and mango pudding amongst many, many others. No lunch bookings taken - first come first served. Bookings only for dinner - book in advance as it does get booked out v quickly. Expect to wait in a queue at weekend lunchtimes - so go well in time. Highly recommended! Prices increased quite a bit.

Food is excellent, service not so. Asked four separate staff if we could order and each time they responded with I will get someone. 30min wait to order, when the starters did arrive we were given about 10min before staff tried to clear them as our mains had arrived.

No dedicated waiter, have to raise your hand and any available waiter will serve and take order, no alcohol served, take your own.

As usual the restaurant is very busy on Sunday. As we come around 1:30 so waiting about 15 minutes to be seated. Barbecued Pork Crispy is delicious. Other foods we ordered are also on the standard.

Gran restaurante con tantas mesas y ruido tranquilo. El arroz frito era muy bueno, pero la tostada de gambas era horrible. Sinceramente sentimientos encontrados, pero una cosa que realmente no me gustó es que los camareros NO son amables no servicial en absoluto.

My wife and I visited this well-known establishment to celebrate our anniversary. However, the overall atmosphere was disappointing, with staff appearing disinterested in their work. They repeatedly placed dishes awkwardly at the edge of the table. Once or twice, I could understand , but it became a consistent issue. The food seemed pre-prepared and merely reheated, which left us feeling greatly disappointed. The taste was underwhelming, and the service was far from friendly, making me question how this place earned its Michelin recognition. At one point, a spoon was dropped from a tray being cleared, and dishes were handled with excessive noise and carelessness. Frustrated, I eventually asked to speak with a member of staff and inquired about her name. She told me her name was “Amanda.” After that, perhaps feeling self-conscious, she began to clear the table more cautiously. This was supposed to be a restaurant representing Chinese cuisine and culture, but the staff's discriminatory and unfriendly behavior would discourage anyone from returning. It was my first experience at an authentic Chinese restaurant, and sadly, it will also be my last. The staff should remember that such rudeness reflects poorly not just on the establishment but on their country. I hope they will strive to perform their duties with professionalism moving forward. To anyone considering visiting this place, I urge you to save your time and money. It is, without a doubt, a disappointment. This version keeps the tone firm yet respectful, with a gentlemanly approach to expressing dissatisfaction. My wife and I went to this famous restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. However, the overall experience was disappointing and the staff didn't seem happy to work. They placed the dishes on the edge of the table multiple times. It's understandable once or twice, but it keeps happening. The food looked like it had been cooked in advance and then reheated, which was very disappointing. The taste was terrible and the service was so unfriendly that it made me wonder how this restaurant got Michelin recognition. One time the waiter dropped a spoon while clearing the plates and the plates were cleared very rudely and loudly. Unable to bear it any longer, I called a waiter and asked her name. She told me her name was "Amanda". After that, maybe she felt a little guilty and started to carefully clear the table. As a restaurant that represents China, the staff displayed such unfriendly and discriminatory behavior that such an attitude will make anyone never patronize this restaurant again. This was my first real Chinese restaurant experience, and sadly, will be my last. Employees should remember that such disrespect not only brings shame to the restaurant, but also affects the reputation of the country. I hope they will treat their work more professionally in the future. I advise anyone planning to visit here to save your time and money. This is definitely a let down. This expresses strong dissatisfaction while maintaining a polite tone.

We normally have excellent service whenever we go there. It was substandard this time around. We had to ask for water, soy sauce multiple times and still not served. The food was average, some dishes had little or no salt. I am hoping this was just a bad day for them

Good oriental cuisine. Easy parking and friendly staff. I recommend it

Endroit très agréable, bonne cuisine mais un peu cher… Comptez 50 euros par personne pour un repas normal !!! Mais le service était top.

Excellent place to have perfect Chinese dishes served in an elegant setting. The service is perfect and each dish is cooked to perfection. I like everything in this restaurant so I am biased, but try to be objective. I will of course return as soon as possible.

Sooooo yummy food🥰🥰🥰 best roast duck I've ever had in London🌟🌟🌟

I do like the consistency between the canary wharf branch and Baker Street branch for service and atmosphere. After shopping and finishing earlier I wasn't sure were to go for asian food in the area and was glad to see a recognised name. Food quality and variety slightly differs from what is offered on the canary wharf branch but the main selections are the same. The Dover sole used for their fish dishes I felt were great and tasted great. Overall large enough venue for big group and parties and also still intimate enough for a couple to simply walk in and have a rich Chinese cuisine experience.

Excellent food, service staff temperaments vary— some verges on rude and didn’t get order right— but the food is worth the visit!

Food not as good as the last time, no drinks licence and service a bit slow.

My favourite place in London to go for dim sum

This is a nice and popular restaurant in a convenient location. We didn't book the table and was told that could have the table for an hour and a half. We ordered a lot of food and luckily wasn't asked to leave before we could finish. It offered positive dining experience. Hoever, a word of warning - don't order Lotus Leaf Wrapped Rice or Monk Veggie Pot. I had never had such bad dishes before while these two were common and never going wrong Chinese dishes.

It's an institution, and delivered like one. Great food, pretty good service (functional, don't expect any emotional), and a fun enough atmosphere. This was for Sunday dim sum.

The downward spiral of RC in terms of service and food quality has been phenomenal. My husband and I went there yesterday for a midweek dinner and could not have been more disappointed, especially as I have fond memories of lunches and dinners at RC ( at other branches too) over the last 20 odd years . First as we waited to be seated, we saw a shabby printout at the reception area notifying that they do not serve alcohol and guests can get their own! We were then seated at the table and handed the menus. Whilst I selected from the menu, my husband traipsed to the neaby CoOp to buy a bottle of wine. After waiting for ages, the waiter came over to take our order and was surprised when I asked for certain items. He then informed us that we were given the wrong menus and none of the items were available.His tone was curt , short, almost irritated .The starters arrived without any serving spoons. There was another very long wait before we had to ask someone to take our mains order . This was followed by yet another long wait and a reminder before the order came out. The chicken dish was not fresh and the chicken meat so tough that you probably needed a saw to cut it. The mocktail that I ordered was underwhelming at best.The scant staff were non attentive, there was no eye contact ( all moving around looking at the floors ) and disconnected. We also saw customers walking up to the staff with their payment cards to pay the bill, after having waited for ages. I gave my feedback at the time of payment but the disinterested staff member muttered something about tight immigration rules and difficulty in finding staff and the restaurant staff being students. Overall a really poor experience and we think this was our last visit to RC.

Avoid if you want a pleasant atmosphere that includes good wait staff and timely service. My family and I chose this restaurant as my daughter craved dim sum. We waited a long time for someone to even greet us and seat us, despite the fact that there were plenty of empty tables. Once we were seated and decided on our order, no one came over for another 15-20 minutes. I tried to flag some of the servers but they couldn't be bothered. I finally decided we were going to walk out, which is when someone finally came over. Once we gave our order, the older female server literally yanked the menus out of our hands. The food - when it finally arrived- was just ok. Portions were small for the price. Definitely not worth the unpleasant experience.

Great dim sum and I make it a MUST visit whenever I am in London. Unfortunately they have stopped selling alcohol so I can’t have my glass of wine with my meal.

Good location, affordable price, good taste

Best Chinese in Town, the Peking Duck, wonton soup , salt & pepper, sweet & sour pork are some of the yummiest dishes.

A London classic - sour faced staff serving excellent food

Was greeted with the amazing receptionist Vivianne she was very helpful, a warm environment and very friendly staff definitely the place to go too. Best dim sum!!

I have eaten here many times. Every time I received high quality service and the food was amazing. When I have gone there the receptionist Vivianne was very nice and accommodating. She ensured that my friends and I had a great experience.

i recently visited royal china and i can say the food and atmosphere was amazing , however what stood out to me the most , above all, was the wonderful experience vivianne provided , she made us feel very welcomed and comfortable, and was extremely well mannered so 10/10 experience would come again .

I’ve been here many times and have always been greeted happily by the receptionist. Staff members are nice and patient. The food is always made to high quality I would highly recommend

Excellent from the dim sum to service. The prawn spring rolls in particular were awesome. Really fumed with juicy prawns

We love dimsum and Peking Duck here.

Very nice food, service was appalling and non existent. Not what I'd expect when a service charge/gratuity is automatically applied to the bill. Must improve.

Very busy, service took a while but worth the wait!

What on earth with the service. Poured remaining soy sauce from a cheung fun onto a bag I had on a seat. Then have to search around and put hand up for any service. Staff look totally lethargic and want to be elsewhere. Pricing suggests the service should be at a higher level. That they still get decent business is testament to the food but they should do better. Should be the institution that it is.

Goulanzi Restaurant, the food is served very slowly, the waiter has a bad attitude, two dishes are put on the same plate without telling me in advance, the dishes are small and tasteless, highly not recommended. Why didn't your mother explain all kinds of things in advance before serving the food? She waited for an hour before telling us that the two dishes were put on the same plate. Dog egg restaurant, the food is served very slowly, the service attitude is poor, two dishes are placed on the same plate without telling in advance, the dishes are small and unpalatable, I don't recommend it at all. Why didn't you tell us everything in advance before serving the dishes? We waited for an hour before they told us that the two dishes were placed on the same plate.

Déconseillé, car service ne correspond pas au prix demandé. On commande 4 potages et 4 plats. On reçoit d'abord 1 seul plat et pas les potages. Je remballe le plat et demande les potages. On reçoit 3 potages, le dernier arrive quand les 3 autres sont finis. Pour les plats, la serveuse ne prend même pas la peine de descendre les 3 marches à côté de notre table pour demander si elle peut servir les plats. Bref, on serait mieux servi dans un café du coin. 136 € pour 4, c'est inacceptable et même pas un mot d'excuses. Quand à la qualité des mets, on peut dire qu'elle est bonne pour un chinois, sans plus.

Don't believe the hype, the food is distinctly average compared to Hong Kong. It is perfectly adequate but don't expect Hong Hong levels of tastiness. Pork belly and egg tarts were very good. Most others were meh.

The best Chinese restaurant in London It’s my first choice every time I come London

Had gone with colleagues to entertain a client guest. Ambience is good and very spacious restaurant, surprisingly not noisy. We tried Prawn and veg dumplings, were freshly made and very soft. For main course we opted for Fried rice with fish and chicken and Veg fried rice, would say they were fine. But you should not miss the mango pudding, very yummy.

My favorite Chinese in all of London that I've been consistently going to for years. Still the best. Recommend the dimsum especially on a Sunday afternoon. You will have to take a number and queue but so worth it.

Dim sum is amazing! The Crispy duck exceeded our expectations. Pork fried rice was extraordinary

The food was beautifully presented, very good quality and delicious. The chefs obviously can cook brilliantly, very much appreciated and enjoyed. The serving staff do their bit but there is no friendly chat or craic, very austere. The assistants try to chat but their English is poor, they try so hard - other staff should take note. It’s a real shame, after paying short of £200 and regular visitors we most likely won’t be back.

Service is great and staff very friendly and professional. Atmosphere is good and authentic. Tea is good.... food is OK

Very Slow Service Food is excellent

Came here many years ago and this restaurant remained as popular as ever. Glad to know that they have maintained a high standard by serving good quality dim sums and desserts! I was particularly impressed by their zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) during my visit close to the Dragon Boat Festival. They were delicious and tasted better than most I have had in Hong Kong, I dare to say. A minor suggestion would be to turn the lights up so the restaurant’s atmosphere wouldn’t feel so “dim”, given the wallpapers were all black. Other than that, this restaurant deserves a thumbs up for every aspect.
