Royal Garden in East Dunbartonshire

This is most expensive Chinese around the area, but one of the worst in terms of quality food. The chicken in the curry tasted like cheap frozen bought chicken. The noodles were all dried up with barely any soy sauce on them, clearly microwaved/reheated - no veg in them either as requested. And the chicken balls where all dried up and mostly batter with tiny bits of dried up chicken in them. This was take out we ordered…. And it was ready in less than five minutes so that says it all. Emailed the shop with a written complaint as per the address on the website, but no reply.

Far to grease to much oil not very warm 🤔

Good food. Friendly staff. Very good prices

Horrific. Please read my review on trip advisor

Not quite sure where I should start. Myself and my fiance are always looking for new restaurants to try and we always read the reviews before we book a table. We clearly didn't do our homework before attending the Royal Garden. To begin with I have never been to China ..but I'm pretty sure their royal Garden would not smell as foul as this restaurant did when we first walked in. It resembled something from the 80s, it is smelly dark and dated and pretty prehistoric. We gave it the benefit of the doubt and ordered dinner. We had a choice of menus and I ordered from the pre theatre menu and my partner choose from the al a carte. Barbeque spare ribs I ordered for a starter... these came out dry (no sauce) I asked the waitress where the barbeque was, she explained unless they were ordered from the other menu they came dry. She then offered me some barbecue sauce and this would be an additional charge ! Which I gladly accepted. When they emerged from the kitchen they were the same dry ribs with a touch of tasteless barbeque sauce on them. My partners salt and chilli ribs were not too bad to be fair. The mains.... I choose the sweet n sour chicken which to be fair was edible..if you like microwave sweet n sour. My partners combination chow mein was certainly a combination... a combination of something that resembled slops. Mixed meat which was under cooked on a bed of which looked like super noodles , most of which were half cooked and still crunchy actually that's an insult to bachelor's who make super noodles. The soup (gravy) that should be thick and tasty covering the chow mein was like greasy dish water. We refused the sweet menu and swiftly paid and left. Any one thinking of attending the Royal garden.. maybe consider getting a takeaway and staying in your own garden .it will taste better and certainly smell better. We won't be back😩 how this place is functional I will never know.

We travelled from Australia, to dine here quite a few times, the staff got to know us, took the time to talk to us,excellent service and curries were delicious, can't wait to come back and dine there again.

First visit to Royal Garden, Bishopbriggs The food was outstanding and plenty of it The staff were so pleasant and very helpful Empty tables were cleared and cleaned in no time We usually drive to the Princess Rose in Balloch, but this restaurant will be our new go to place The drinks are very reasonably priced as well We will most certainly be back soon

Food was brilliant , chicken noodle soup amazing my wee granddaughter loved it chicken curry was great me my wife and daughter and grandkids love it

Like the food a lot reasonable price no change bit more expensive but not much and the staff are very friendly. Still a great place to have a meal. Hasn't changed still great food and staff

Great pre-theatre menu with plenty of choice and good value for money

Food excellent lunch just enough and tasty,not expensive,very quick to serve and it's local

Very busy Saturday, phone was nonstop. Could get duster out on screens,,all so need to spend on decor..staff very professional and spare ribs the best,,

Had beef, green pepper & BBS. beef was Very chewey & v disappointing,i had previously used this restaurant frequently. Dim sum lovely. a bit pricey compared to other restaurants within this category.

Good service, good food, friendly service all at a decent price. The sea bass was very very well prepared as was the sizzling Szechuan style steak....could maybe have done with a little more spice to lift the sauce

Order - Chicken with Green Peppers in Black Bean Sauce, salt n chilli chicken balls, Chicken Chow Mein This was a great meal. The restaurant was busy and there was even a birthday celebration. Glad to see everyone enjoying themselves. Time - 10 mins for the starter. I was there for about an hour and a half in total. Presentation - see pics. The Chicken with Green Peppers in Black Bean Sauce even had a white rose in it. (I didn't eat that lol) Quality - 4/5 - The quality was exceptional and very tasty. Everything was cooked perfectly. Compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area this was probably the best experience I've had dining in. Quantity - 3/5 - not too much or too little but there was only 4 chicken balls in the starter. The main courses were very filling and they supplied plenty of rice and noodles in the chow mein. Value for money - Very Good compared to similar places. Worked out less than £20 per person with a drink. Additionally - all in all a great dining experience and the service was second to none very quick and efficient considering how busy they were and doing takeaways at the same time.

Always excellent food and friendly customer service ! Would highly recommend.

We found a dead eari wig in our chilli chips, phoned the woman who owns the restaurant, who told us “no refund” “there’s no problems in her kitchen” and “she didn’t care if we never used her restaurant again” …. Disgusting attitude & Disgusting cleanliness.

Came tonight for dinner food was amazing and staff were great will definitely be back xxxx

But over priced tbh no free prawn cracker’s and my takeaway bill was £28, I know that sound’s petty but relevant. Meat on one meal was over cooked that’s twice now but have had better from here in the past .

Food mediocre taste wise. Presentation and service was good. Needed some magic pixie dust I think

I’ve sat in here before and the food was fab. Tonight we were staying in the area and got a large take away for the family £70. Can’t fault the food it was excellent and the noodles they used were the fine one we really like. We also got fried rice with no egg, which some places don’t do. However what we didn’t get were any complementary prawn crackers!! For the amount we purchased I felt a bit cheated in not getting them.

Best Chinese around! Sitting in is always better anywhere. The salt and chillie chips is the best I’ve ever tasted. Satay, curry, roast chicken or European menu it’s all amazing. They do lunches on Fridays too. I can go with family or friends and everyone always enjoys it. Staff are friendly and will bend over backwards for you. It’s a must try in my opinion. Always 10 out of 10 from us.

Didnt even make it to our seats as we were told our clothes werent up to standard to enter the restaraunt. Wont even attempt to go back

Fantastic wee restaurant in Bishopbiggs food amazing and the staff make you feel really welcome

Royal Garden Chinese In Bishopbriggs is by far one of, if not the best Chinese in the city! Yes some may think it is more expensive than other Takeaways however you get what you pay for, their chicken satay should deserve an award it’s that good. I have never had a bad meal from Royal Garden and it is my go to place for my takeaway treat. Would also recommend their shredded crispy chicken & Kung po chicken. Compliment your meal with King Prawn toast and Salt & Pepper chips, you will not be disappointed. They also have a sit in restaurant with competitive prices and great portions.

Food was delicious, service was really good have been a few times will definitely be going again

Chicken Chow Mein ???. Only 1 slice of onion ! Very dry and no beansprouts ?? which other Chinese give you. Over priced and dry.

My partner and I tried here for the 1st time. The food was out of this world. Staff were extremely friendly. Service was outstanding. Great customer service. I will be talking about this food for a while. Mandarin sauce is to die for. It was the best. A hidden gem in Bishopbriggs. Should definitely give it a go.

Good food tasty but slow delivery

Went for dinner tonight and ordered off the pre/theatre menu. Firstly bbq spare ribs £1 extra for bbq sauce (not mentioned on menu). Main course chicken chow main had ham through it and when questioned we were rudely asked if the person was Muslim! The desert was highly questionable after seeing a picture on the web site of the cheese cake we decided to try it. Big mistake a bowl of cheep cream with the tiniest bit of shop bought cheese cake. Again we questioned this and scowled at from the waitress with no explanation. Would not recommend and would not visit again.

Visited the Royal Garden restaurant tonight. The food was very bland the portions were designed for children the staff were dour faced. Was not worth the money and will never go there again.

Chicken in the chicken curry was extremely tough and couldn't eat it. Staff were not friendly unless it was their regular customers. No apology or resolve was offered. Overall, very poor show as this restaurant was highly recommended and I was very disappointed at the quality of food.

First time trying the Royal Garden and it won't be the last. Slightly expensive but the food was really nice.

Prawn Chow Mein pretty tasteless ☹️

Friendly, prompt service. Following Covid protocols. Had the pre theatre menu, which was excellent value for money.

I have only used Royal garden a few times, but on each occasion we have thoroughly enjoyed our meal, will definitely be making the royal garden our preferred takeaway

My favourite Chinese restaurant. Food is great as are the staff. Nice, cosy and friendly atmosphere

The best Chinese takeaway I've had in a long time. The food was delicious! This is definitely my new favourite!

Thanks again for a lovely meal at the Royal Garden I’ve been eating the food for 25 years and never a bad meal thank you Alan and Ada and all the family .

We have been using this restaurant for many years and have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh and tasty and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Lovely food but a tad expensive

Lovely meal a little more expensive than some other takeaways but well worth the extra Pity it's only open for takeaways due to current restrictions

I ordered from here tonight and I ordered the duck chow-mien dry style. Instead I got a chicken drowning in ‘soy gravy’. Fair enough mistakes are made. I phoned back and said I had been given the wrong order. I did not receive an apology instead they insisted that I had been given duck. Look at the picture, does that look like duck to you?

Tried the salt and pepper munchie box, inedible covered with salt to an unbeatable state

Well normally use new wok cuisine Auchinairn and just fancied a change bad choice £4.50for chips salt n pepper please dont insult me frozen chips with salt seasoning joke and no prawn crackers added unless you buy ,won't be back.

Food delicious excellent service staff very friendly

Staff really nice friendly food lovely will go back again prices good

Best example of Chinese food in the area and really nice owners and staff

I ordered a meal tonight all meals were correct except mine called to get it rectified but girl in the phone wasn’t interested I have bought meals from them for years but this will be the last there loss

Chicken curry, fried rice, salt and pepper chips, small salt and pepper chicken, £20! Asked if I get crackers with that and was told no the reason it’s so dear is down to the quality of the products, other than the chicken the rest are all very standard, peppers, frozen chips, eggs and rice. Over priced. Then £2.50 for a bag of crackers, joke

The food is fresh thoroughly enjoyed it

1st visit couldn't fault a thing food and service amazing

Food was lovely curry sauce was good although a pet hate is charging £2 for a MULTI PACK can of irn bru that to me is day light robbery.

Beautiful food and great service 👍

8 of us had a lovely meal here the other night..

Never had a bad meal. Curry sauce is the best. Lovely hot prawn crackers. Decent sized portion, 3 courses 12.95 cannot complain! Chicken noodle soup is always full of flavour. And staff are amazing their always happy and pleasant and always give a personal touch

need a mortgage to eat in this place and the head waitress is just annoying with that yappy voice carry out is nearly as expensive as sitting in

Has to be one of the best places in Glasgow to enjoy Chinese food, Little bit expensive, portion's could be bigger especially the chicken on the skewers for the satay, chicken bit skimpy, But if you haven't tried it yet, it's a must...

Was there tonight and their was 9 of us. Everyone of us thought the meals were lovely and the female waitress was very good. We were out for a birthday meal and she came out singing happy birthday carrying the birthday cake. She was a lovely lady and gave brilliant service. I can't fault this place and this was my first time at the place. I certainly would reccomend here 👏👏👏👏

We have been going to this restaurant for years unfortunately last night was disappointing as the service totally let them down. My husband has Alzheimers so we need a quick turn over on waiting times as he gets agitated. They know he has this. Well seemingly you get better treatment /service if you order a la carte as it was mentioned several times. We ordered from the special menu and felt like 2nd class citizens. 3 tables that arrived well after us got served their meals before us. Their meals were complete and we were still eating our main meal. I'm really disappointed on this.

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food but agreed to go with my friend. Lovely starters but my main course (Shredded beef in Bird's Nest) to be really glutinous and heavy. Possibly my fault for choosing the wrong dish. Noodles were nice though. Won't be back but take into consideration that I'm not a fan of this style of food.

As usual a great meal only Chinese we go to staff so nice especially the wee blonde haired lady I must get her name next time we go I highly recommend this resteraunt.

I visited with family. We ate from the special menu, which offers a good range of choices for £12.95 (if I remember correctly) and three courses. The services was excellent and pitched at the right level for the venue, friendly, prompt & polite. The restaurant is a small place but it didn’t feel cramped and squashed in. The food was served quickly and as a nice touches they asked if we were ready for the main course, meaning we didn’t feel rushed, despite it being quite busy. Food was tasty, hot and well presented but probably not exceptional. I was neither disappointed or overly impressed which is a key reason for giving a three. As you might expect deserts were the least impressive party of the menu. I was also a little disappointed that my lime and soda was on the flat side and coke came in a can. Overall it was a pleasant experience and enjoyable food but nothing out of the ordinary.

Food pretty good - but not cheap

Always beautiful food and the most friendly, helpful staff

Excellent Chinese restaurant. Alan and his staff are brilliant

Once again forgot how bad their takeaway food is. Chicken Fried Rice had 2 peas and 2 bits of ham. Chicken was very dry and tasteless. Chicken chow mein with gravy was just as bad. Same chicken - hard and dry- and noodles were very thin and swimming in gravy. For £16.00 plus delivery was a complete rip off. Think the frozen food stores are doing well. Never again.

My name is Destiny and I loved this restaurant . Zoe is my fav staff. please go here . Nicole really wants a new fidget spinner

Very nice as usual. Staff very helpfull.

La primera vez aquí, el personal amable, la decoración, el menú grande agradable, el gerente / propietario posible, el servicio fue rápido llegó aquí para la comida de San Valentín Los entrantes eran buenas costillas eran sabrosas. Bistec un poco masticable pero tengo mis propios dientes y llegué al final, tres bebidas 2 entrantes 2 principales 1 café 58. 00 Pensé que estaba bien en el precio volvería eeee tal vez

Great food, great service at pre-theatre prices before 7pm.

Absolutely brilliant I only got a takaway but the curry sauce is delicious

Lovely food, had the Szechuan Chicken. Was hot and delicious.

Enjoyed a lovely pre theatre meal.

Very busy place , and for a good reason. Nice food and excellent service.

Best Chinese food in Glasgow and bishopbriggs

Brilliant service and brilliant food great value for money

Really great place. Food is awesome and staff are lovely. Highly recommend

Fabulous Restaurant, Food delicious & the staff very reliable 👌

Lady (blonde hair) that served us was so nice and made us feel really welcome .. food was great too!

For years my family and I have been going to the Royal Garden and we have never had a bad experience. We live outside their delivery range but still would make trips to collect take away from them rather than order from places that could deliver. The cost is a bit higher than other places however the quality more than makes up for it and the staff are excellent.

Visited the Royal Garden and had their 3 course lunch.Being our first visit we weren't expecting the best but were pleasantly surprised at how good it was.The food, service and price were all first class, would definitely recommend and will return whenever we're in the area.

Lovely lunchtime set menu. Very tasty.

Average Chinese not bad not incredible but not bad

Great food, service and atmosphere.

La primera vez que probé este restaurante y no me decepcionó. Un poco de espera para los principiantes pero no les importó porque estaban recién cocidos al vapor. Pato de Szechuan realmente sabroso y buenas porciones de tamaño. El personal es excepcional, buena recepción, buen conocimiento del menú y un servicio muy agradable. 50 para dos entrantes, 2 platos principales, 2 lados y tres bebidas

Excellent food and value for money. Would have put 5 stars but "coming through" shouting waitress was the only negative.

Great food, been a customer here for many years. Staff are friendly and welcoming

Great meal as always and staff very friendly will be back soon

Booked a table for 4 for 6;30 and enjoyed the 3 course pre theatre menu. Great choices across the menu and excellent value. Staff were great and very good food.

Visitamos el martes por la noche, viviendo localmente. Me sorprende que nunca hayamos estado antes.

Acabo de recibir mi primer regalo de esta noche. El pollo chow mein fue sin duda uno de los mejores que hemos probado. También pedimos una porción de sus chips de sal y chili en una recomendación de amigos y una bañera de salsa. Tengo que decir que no decepcionaron. Un poco más caro que mi lugar habitual para llevar, pero sentí que valió la pena. Mi única crítica leve sería que tuvimos que esperar casi una hora para la entrega.

Very nice takeaway. The chicken fried rice and shredded chicken was lovely, worth the wee bit extra in price.

Always enjoy the food, portion sizes aren't the biggest. The set meal is good value, deserts are a bit poor. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Suits our family of 5 with some fussy eaters.

Really nice staff and top notch food

Freindly attentive staff and lovely, varied menu.

Always great food and service, but pricey.

Bishopbriggs lamentablemente no tiene una buena comida china y después de un buen almuerzo de negocios aquí pensé que probaría esto.

Very poor food and had to wait a long time. Beef in Beef satay was extremely chewy and fatty. Chicken fried rice had no taste neither had chicken chow mein. Would not go back. Not recommended.
