Royal City Cantonese Restaurant in Kirklees

Enjoyed thoroughly. Fresh good hot food.

Went the other week with my dad and brother .been a few times before . This time it was quiet no atmosphere i had 1 bite of food and felt very ill so had to leave . They still charged me full all you can eat price of £20 . For 1 chicken wing . Ive been a few time but this will be the last very disappointed 😞

Took my mum last night for her 60th, we were a party of 6. The staff were absolutely amazing no request was too big or too small. The food was amazing and we all enjoyed our visit. We definitely will be back

Great service and good value. If you like everyday gloopy Chinese takeaway food then you'll love this all you can eat buffet

Been going to this restaurant for almost 30 years. The food, service have always been great. Staff have treated my family like family at times. Nice chilled relaxed atmosphere. Great value for money.

I’ve been here a number of times over the years. Food is cooked freshly to order. It’s very tasty food.

Lovely food for my brothers birthday 🎂

It is now fifteen years since I have been going to the Royal City,and still rate it the best there is.Other than when abroad,I have never even thought of venturing into the town centre or elsewhere to try another restaurant.There simply is no need to. Food always great and fresh here,all the staff brilliant,happy and efficient. The choice is plenty fold,and is always only cooked to order,so no miserably cold and minimal buffets under metal domes to contend with. I have taken many people there over the years,and all have come back for more. I love it,and so do they!

Was okay not the best portion sizes Hot Fresh But flavour was very bland imo For the price can’t complain Main course was tiny portions

Went to Royal City, all you can eat, with the in- laws, and was very satisfied. We did book a table but I am sure we would have been seated even if we hadn't. We tried a good portion of the starters and even ordered some more won ton. We had king prawn curry, (which I think was shrimp curry) which was very enjoyable, also beef in black bean and chicken in oyster sauce. Fried rice, noodles, garlic mushrooms and vegetables. And everything was very well prepared and tasted very nice. We left very full and happy, will return.

My favourite place as you get a bit of everything! Super fast service Tasty food Can't wait to go again!

The food is absolutely banging can’t fault it there’s always staff around it’s a great place my only problem is one member of staff hoovers up while people are dining I understand Chinese food is messy but common I felt like I was upstairs while my mum hoovered downstairs not a cool vibe

Nice clean restaurant , the food is cooked fresh & soo much variety to choose from. The staff are very helpful expcially the young girl ellie , very chatty and full of smiles! Would definitely recommend x

Great place to eat. Food always brilliant

Fantastic food, brilliant friendly staff 10/10

Food was quite good, big portions and many options. Really enjoyed the chilli beef and the vermicelli Singapore noodles.

The food was really poor, my wife and kids barely touched their food. Nowhere near good enough. Charged £19 for my 11 year old daughter who had one chicken strip and 5 folks of noodles. Asian waiter was rude too. Won’t be going back. £95 for food we barely touched.

It's been 3 years since I were here due to moving out if Huddersfield but the quality of the food hasn't changed one bit. I love the starters, ribs, and chicken, had the crispy beef and rice too. Loved it. Service - couldn't be more helpful or friendly. Roll on my next visit !!

Food great, staff very friendly and approachable, superb value for money.

This place is fantastic if you love Chinese food, the staff can't do enough for you, all you can eat for 20 quid is a bargain and the drinks are a reasonable price too.

Everything you want from a Chinese! Buffet option is great, food comes out hot and delicious.

Always great food and great service. The buffet is perfect for people like me who like to try a bit of everything. Everything is cooked to order so always comes nice and hot. Have visited as a couple or as a big group and had a lovely time on all occasions. Will continue to visit for years to come!

Food is amazing love this place

Amazing Chinese, food freshly cooked even though it's all you can eat.

Lovely food. Staff are super friendly

First and last time coming here, bland food that had no flavour, forgot one of the dishes I ordered, wasn't offered another drink or food, all in all just rubbish

I had my 40th birthday fine Dinning last party at Royal City on 2nd March. It was indeed a splendid experience. The staff were so supportive, friendly, and very approachable. The food tastes great. The atmosphere was top notch, and to crown it all , they decorated my session with my choice colours. Went there with a friends family on Mother's Day, and we had a swell time. You do need to worry about car park as they have a massive parking space right at the restaurant location. I would recommend Royal City any time, any day. Please visit ROYAL CITY and thank me later.

Lovely food, friendly staff and lovely company. X

Had a lovely evening out with friends the staff were excellent food as always 😊 very good would highly recommend going here.

Does anybody know if they do vegan?

Lovely staff and great service. The starters were fantastic but the mains let the experience down a bit. Chicken in satay sauce just tasted like a weak curry, not at all like satay sauce.

Food OK. Some good some not quite so but that could be down to personal taste. S&S chicken wasn't very hot. Really please that my friends could choose from lots of GLUTEN FREE options. Management seemed nice & attentive. Waiting staff 50/50 Set price for whatever you want from the menu. Disappointed that crispy duck wasn't available. This is a Chinese after all. Overall would go back again.

Lovely food, served quick but fresh. Friendly staff.

I hate to put a poor review but I was deeply saddened by the quality of the food at this restaurant. I was looking forward to have some authentic Cantonese food. My family and I did not enjoy it as we thought we would and left the restaurant hungry as a result of this. I do not recommend this restaurant.

We came last night for my sisters birthday. I was very unsure before arriving due to my daughter having a severe peanut allergy. I was very happy with the care and service we received for this and she experienced her first Chinese in over 6 years. Thank you so much for this. I would 100% recommend you.

When we arrived we were seated at a long table. As we were a group of 7 and wanted to have a conversation, we asked if we could be moved to a circular table. We were told no as it was reserved. We couldn't understand why we couldn't sit at the round table and the other party (who didn't arrive until much later) couldn't sit at the long table. A manager then said that we could sit at the round table. After this initial confusion, our food came, and the majority of it was tasty. The ribs were too sweet and sticky for me, and the soup ordered by one of our group was too salty for her. The restaurant was a little noisy but we ate plenty and the manager was friendly and attentive.

Had a lovely time good food and lovely staff., made my birthday special thank you so much XXX Elaine

We arranged a meal here for my mum's birthday. The staff were really lovely and accomodating. The food was excellent. Everybody enjoyed it and we all would definitely call again.

Amazing food, wonderful service and a great atmosphere. We went for an 18th birthday meal. I tend to dislike menus because I find them daunting but due to the all you can eat ordering system, I was able to explore different dishes without having to agonize over my choices. Ultimately, it was all great and I loved everything I ate! The staff were also very good at ensuring that plates were cleared when we were finished with them and no sooner (cause that matters if you go to the loo haha) 🙂.

Excellent chinese food and at this price point is of high quality. Staff are really friendly too and always on hand to assist you. I think this is better than any all you can eat buffet.... having it cooked fresh to order. The absolute winner is the vast GLUTEN FREE menu 😍😍 my wife is coeliac and this to her was absolute heaven for food choice. Its very rare for her to be able to enjoy chinese food and she loved every dish. I think tbe addition of crispy duck would sit this restaurant at the top of my list 🦆 We both had a great meal & we will definately be back very soon ❤️

Got a takeaway Food excellent. Really tasty. Excellent for gluten free. Looking forward to going again.

Take away gave food poisoning Atmosphere inside was nice and was offered beer, unfortunately does not excuse the food poisoning

Really friendly staff, excellent service. Food came quickly, hot and freshly made Thank you :)

Great little restaurante which I visited in September whilst on holiday from Spain. The good was really lovely and plentiful. and the service excelente. Will definitely be visiting again.

You cannot improve on perfection. Food 100%Service 100% price100%

Had a superb experience at the Royal City. The service was excellent. And the choice of food was enough to satisfy all our group. It was a quiet night when we visited so the atmosphere was quite good. We will definitely be returning again in the future.

Went to Royal City with friends as we all fancied Chinese. Food was good and came quick. I know things are going up in price but the buffet is now £19. We didn't over order food when it came to mains either so was quite an expensive evening. Drinks are extortionately priced too, a Soda and Lime was £3!! Will be back...

Over priced now @£19 the food was good but the waiters rude and not knowing what was going on Asked 3 times after we ordered if we wanted to order poor ! Still eating and was asked if we had finished very poor !! Spoke to the manager with not a satisfactory outcome will not be going back soon

Food was very nice and came out hot and quick! The staff were polite and the service was excellent. Would recommend and will be going again. Tip: ask for small portions if you are wanting to try different foods so you aren't leaving much waste (something I was slightly concerned about since reading on the menu that you can be charged for waste)

Really good service and very good food 👌 went at 6.30 on a Friday and the place was already very busy. They do an all you can eat menu but decided to choose off the normal menu. There are some quite steep stairs to get in but my 86 yo dad managed them . Will definitely go back mid week next time when it's not so full.

Food was ok but the staff was very rude , not coming ever again! The host was arrogant and rude ………..

Had a takeout which is a rare treat for my wife as she is Coeliac and Chinese food can be difficult. The food was good and the prices reasonable and she had no issues health wise so a big thumbs upto Royal City. We order Sweet and Sour Chicken and Crispy Chilli Beef. We certainly recommend especially if you’re seeking gluten free Chinese food. We traveled from Halifax and will return.

Lovely food, friendly staff and all very reasonably priced. Looking forward to visiting again!

Not bad at all and even better that we hadn't booked but they found us a table at short notice. Great food and we will be back.

To dine was very close to another table not much space! the food was delicious! Expensive per head especially f child under 12yrs, also t stayn no longer than 1hr 30mins not long.

Fast service great food really good 👌

Excellent. 5 star. You won't be Dissopointed. Fully recommend.

Great takeaway, didn't have to wait long for it.

Brilliant friendly people me and my family love coming here for special occasions

Great dinner, very many options to choose from! Staff very nice and helpful, will come back 👌

As a group of friends and family, we came to this restaurant for dinner, and it was amazing! The foods were so tasty, we just can't resist re-ordering. This restaurant is having a 'buffet' menu so we can keep re-ordering the dishes and they were cooked freshly for you, provided we don't waste the food - and we didn't obviously! You can tell the dishes were just out from the wok. I love this concept. It is far better than eating the cold or soggy foods sitting on the serving plates of ordinary buffet restaurants. The 'plus' to the food is the service. One mature waiter was very friendly and polite, guided us to the table, told us how to order, recommended many tasty dishes, and was also very efficient in serving food and drinks! In the end, he also made some jokes with us! Another mature waitress was also very professional and efficient. They really gave us a pleasuring visit. The only 'downside' is that we can always see two or three waiters/waitresses doing hard work around but when they were too busy, we found it difficult to get other waiters/waitress attention as most of the time they seems to stay in a corner and chatting between. But they are lovely and polite though when they come to serve. I will come back again surely.

Been a few times and gave the waiter a second chance Each time u have been he is so rude….. The looks he flashes just ignorant and arrogant Want be returning

Had a meal for wedding anniversary. Managed to get a table without booking as we went early. We were well greeted and served by friendly staff.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. When we arrived we were shown to our table straight away. It was an eat all you want menus costing £17 a head. It's not a buffet, it's more like Tapas. You order your food, and they cook it fresh to order. Theres plenty to choose from on the menu. sharing between we sampled most of the dishes available befor we were too full to eat any more. All the dishes we had were well cooked and tasted very good. All the dishes were served in good time, the serving staff being polite and attentive. It was a Saturday evening and the place was full and quite noisy there being being a couple of large birthday parties taking place. The dacor is a bit basic but clean. Would we go back. Yes but probably a night during the week when it might be less noisy.

Great portion sizes food was great staff was friendly. Enjoys will definitely come back had the all you can eat buffet.

Service excellent , order from the menu as much as you want for £17 per person over 1.5 hours . April 2023

Food is amazing, always fresh and piping hot. Staff are all really nice and friendly. Drink prices are reasonable. The eat-in price has crept up since covid and it’s quite expensive now so can’t visit as often.

We hadn’t been for a long time, but thought to give our local restaurant another go. £17 for all you can eat, starters & mains. Food is cooked fresh to order & as much as you like. Enjoyed all our choices. Wines etc reasonably priced. Service very good also Well worth a visit, will definitely go again

Great service, love the decor, great buffet fast food

We love this restaurant, it is a long time favourite of my family. The staff and owners work so very hard, to provide excellent service and superb quality food too. The BBQ spare ribs are legend in our family, we simply love them. The all you can eat menu is brilliant good value for money, sometimes we add something specific off menu and the staff efficiently and quickly serve it. The food is consistent and all good quality. It is not good for people with mobility problems as it is on the first floor - but well worth trying to get there.

Its deffo gone down hill, staff members can be a bit stand offish. Dont know if its a language barrier

Having recently moved to the area we set about trying the local Chinese restaurants & takeaways to find one that we really enjoy and most recently tried Royal City. The food is superb, the meat is good quality, the sauces are lovely, when you eat in the restaurant the food comes out fast and is very fresh. The service is very good. We have definitely found our regular Chinese restaurant & takeaway.

Visited this restaurant for the first time with my 2 children. The food and service was excellent and good value for money. Highly recommend.

Great! One price, great food! Brilliant for groups as you know what you're paying!!!! Food was great, service great, thanks 😊 👍

I've been going to Royal City for years... haven't done a review for a long time. This place is fantastic. A family run place ... incredibly lovely staff..fab food..very clean and tidy. Always have a great evening when I go...have gone with small and large parties of people and staff are just so good and helpful. Thanks #teamroyalcity ☺️

Perfect small hidden gem of a Chinese all you can eat good portions too . High quality food at a fair price be aware that its a finish your plate fully or we don't continue to serve you place but that been said it's so nice you will fantastic place highly recommended

All you can eat menu for £17 is excellent value. All food freshly cooked as ordered and served hot till you finish and wish to order another dish. All food served quickly and bar. Also A la Carte if you don’t want the £17 all you can eat.

Haven’t been in a while so it was a nice treat and wowww the food is getting better by the week I will be back again for sure,friendly staff and amazing service 10/10

Delicious food for a reasonable price !!

It's the first time we tried. The food was good, tasty. We (2 persons ) ordered Buffet - starters, soup were so good. Main meal with varieties. Suggestions; for Buffet, it would be good if meal with small/medium portion that will allow customers to try other meal menus as well. Because the main dish portion was big for one person, it could not be finished, end up with food waste. We ordered 3 main + noodles + fried rice, it's full already. For healthy eating, please reduce the amount of salt. It's a lovely meal, we will come back again!

I will say I have always gone for the all you can eat and it as never disappointed me. The staff are alway accommodating and friendly, but be warned it gets busy.

Nice place, friendly staff, food very salty and could definitely be better

Brilliant food, great prices and very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

We visited tonight service good but food was very poor no taste to any dishes and oily We have been many times before we will nether go again very expensive for very poor quality £17.00 each

Had high hopes due to the reviews. Unfortunately we had a bad experience. The food was very bog standard i.e. anglo-Chinese, not genuine. The price very high, at £17 per head, for a buffet of boring food. Minimal choices, just different meats with the same sauce, plus a small choice of veggie options. Sorry to say, I'll skip this place in future.

Decent place to eat, would recommend

Great find and returned not long after. Consistently nice food and good value all you can eat menu. Will be back when we are next in the area

Really good food, nice place for food and the staff are lovely and friendly

Enjoyed a lovely fresh tasty Chinese meal with my family, I would recommend 👌

Really Enjoyed our Sunday lunch here the staff were really friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome the food also was really lovely and we liked every dish they served us we definitely will be coming back.

Do not come to this Chinese , unless you want the week off work, I went yesterday had 3 plates and started to feel funny, didn’t take much notice until I got home and threw up all over my carpets , and all day today ( Sunday 29th may ) I haven’t left the bathroom , been stuck on the toilet ? & I will never ever go back here again! This place needs to be shut down, I have food poisoning from either the chicken or the prawns! avoid this restaurant at all costs

Lovely evening nice food friendly staff

This is our family restaurant for all social occasions. Definitely cheap and cheerful NOT cheap and nasty..Child friendly with a casual dress code I can't recommend it highly enough.

Starter very nice i ordered house special chow mein it was awful it looked like it was covered in a jellylike substance totally unappealing and their prices have gone up quite a bit sorry but i wont be patronising again.

A fantastic buffet Chinese, but cooked fresh and brought to your table

Royal City - A cosy restaurant Royal city is located above two commercial shops, the venue isn't wheelchair friendly. Upstairs is a quaint "traditional" chinese restaurant feel, whereby it feels like it was last decorated in the 90's (personally i like that style, its refreshing) The restaurant however was fairly cold, we had to keep our coats on. There are small radiators dotted about but its not sufficient to heat the whole open plan upstairs. If the restaurant was full perhaps the collective body heat would suffice. The service was good, the staff are nice and attentive, however the restaurant wasn't too busy The food was okay, it feels worthy of 3 star but nothing more. Ingredients wise i've had more succulent ribs with more meat in the bone elsewhere. The crispy beef was just crisp The mushroom dish could be prepared better with button or chestnut mushrooms as the garlic sauce was good, but a basic cheap mushroom was used and sort of sloped together. Neither of us like the prawns that used, they just had a very very cheap taste and we couldn't finish those dishes. I wouldnt order any prawn dish again The savoury was okay, but also thin on the fillness level. Ive had more filled spring rolls from iceland! It would be good if they did their own large/medium sized spring rolls with varied fillings to stand out from the rest If you're after a standard chinese buffet this place wont let you down, it'll be what you want and expect

Very disappointed. After hearing so many good reviews we thought we would give it ago, Food was very dry and tasteless. Very over priced Staff just stand there leaning on the wall talking to each other and not paying attention to customers. They do not have a desert menu. And there food menu is very limited Definitely not worth it

Went last night for mothers day . One rude waiter . Food was vile unless u like it served in some kind of jelly s..t .The chicken and sweetcorn soup was so think u could hang wallpaper with it all the corn and chicken seemed to be blended in to it.. the chicken chow main had a wobble too it. Lol honestly wtf is the jelly ’s…t? Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean u can serve us s..t. BRING BACK THE MANDERIN…….

Brilliant food always cooked perfectly. Always enjoyable.

The menu was £17per head eat what you want. Not a buffet, you order the food and it is cooked and brought out to you, and it was all very tasty. Friendly and attentive staff too.
