This is my family's favourite place to catch up for lunch. The staff are so lovely, they have a great sense of humour and provide wonderful service. The food is always outstanding, the lunch menu is such good value and the food is always amazing. Best place to eat in Ammanford!

We were visiting friends but first night we ate out. The food was fit for a king. The service was fast and hot on serving. Lots of food as a serving, certainly enough to fill you. I tried some Cantonese language but failed, although one of the staff encouraged me using Google translate. Just love trying different languages and these people were a lot of fun, up for a laugh. Very accommodating people, really welcoming and friendly. The prices were so reasonable too, so going again.

`we have been for a meal on several occasions with family and friends but after our last recent experience we will not go again. The meal was ok,by take away standards. The bill was shocking to say the least.£7O for 3 people. don't bother to check the prices on line, they are at least a year out of date. Take away price £51.54..Dine in price £70.05..

A sad disappointment. I absolutely love the food from this restaurant but last night I went along with friends to a birthday party, one of whom has an emotional support dog in training. Despite the fact that due to her difficulties I had made the party booking on her behalf over the phone, and cleared with the restaurant that she would be bringing her assistance dog along with her, and then for her to have cleared this with them herself last week, when she took the required large group booking cash deposits in. After all this effort of checking and rechecking, my friend had serious issues getting into the restaurant with her dog! First of all she was refused entry. We explained that it is illegal to refuse an assistance dog. She was told "guide dogs only". This is no longer the case and has been for a good number of years, as there are now number of charities who train, or offer owner trained programs, to help people with difficulties live a normal a life as possible. I too have a Medical Alert Dog, who has full public access, and who has attended many restaurants, pubs, inns, hotels, shops, doctors visits, hospital visits without any bother from anyone what so ever. I left him at home last night, to allow my friend as much leeway as possible, in case there might be any issues with one fully trained public access dog, and my friends, who's young dog is still in the training process (just about to take her 2nd level public access test). It's a good job I did leave mine at home, having witnessed what my friend had to endure, including being told to sit in a corner "so that the dog doesn't annoy other customers", all of us on that table know her, and the effort she is making to train her dog to the absolute highest standards required of an assistance dog. It was also mentioned that "assistance dogs are usually Labradors or German Shepherds". With emotional support dogs, medical alert dogs, and other support charities, this is very often not the case at all. My dog is a Setter, whilst others may be spaniels, or even a West Highland White terrier I know of. All who are trained to exacting standards for their job This episode has left a nasty taste to end what otherwise would have been a lovely evening. As a consequence, I shall no longer be going to this restaurant, or making any party reservations in the future.

The food here is amazing. However I feel that the staff and management need more education on the disability and equality act 2010. I am disabled. I telephoned to book a table for 10 for my birthday party. At the time I told them that I had an assistance dog in training that would be accompanying me. I was told that would be fine. I called in last week to drop off the deposit and once again double checked that they were aware that I was bringing my assistance dog with me. Fast forward to tonight. The second I walked through the door I was told that they did not allow dogs inside. I explained that my dog was an assistance dog in training and that I had checked twice before paying the deposit that they were aware and that it was okay. They refused to acknowledge this and said they would telephone the owner. I was asked for a certificate and proof that she was an assistance dog- something that is not required by law and is actually illegal to demand from a disabled person. I was then passed the phone and told to speak to the owner. I explained that my dog was an assistance dog in training and that as she already mitigates my disability, that by law she is considered as a disability aid. The owner then said that they allow guide dogs. I explained that an assistance dog is considered as equal to a guide dog in terms of the law. I was then told “well assistance dogs are usually big.” I then had to explain that the law doesn’t say that only a Labrador or an Alsatian can be an assistance dog- and that any dog can be an assistance dog as long as it is trained to mitigate a person’s disability and is highly trained and well behaved. I was asked to “guarantee that the dog would not be a nuisance to other customers.” My dog has been into supermarkets and pharmacies and accompanies me to gp appointments and my psychotherapy appointments. I would struggle to leave the house without her. She is incredibly well behaved. She had begun to whine as I was speaking to the owner, and I explained that she was detecting my anxiety and a potential panic attack, which she is trained to alert me to. I was then told that I could come in “this once.” I was then shown to my table and told to sit in the corner so that she wouldn’t be able to annoy any other customers. This was meant to be a birthday treat for me. I have not had a birthday meal out since before covid, and to have checked not once, but twice and told it was okay, I am extremely disappointed about having been treated as less of a person due to my disability. I love the food from here, but will be unlikely to come again until the staff have taken the effort to educate themselves on disability rights. There is an entire spectrum of assistance dogs and guide dogs are a vital but not sole part of it.

Haven't been in years but as our usual Chinese was closed we decided to give this a try. Unfortunately not as expected. 6 people out of the 8 who ate this all felt the same not great meal and some of us had a bad belly after it which is unfortunate. Won't be going back. Front house Staff are great and work really hard.

I went in at lunchtime to book for the evening and check vegan options. When I went back in the evening they remembered my name and welcomed me, remembered my dietary needs and ensured I had something delicious. Both of us felt at ease and enjoyed our meal.

Went here recently with the wife, very disappointed with the meal and service, sent my chicken and black bean back as was disgusting, woman was very rude about changing the dish, then shocked when I wanted fresh rice with it, wanted me to keep the rice off the black bean plate. Not a nice place overall, very dated and smells damp. Will not return!

Friday night and it has to be a Chinese take away. As a HK resident my standards were high. Royal Kitchen did not disappoint. Good portions, well cooked and warm. A full menu of almost 200 dishes, including dishes not on your normal takeaway menu. All at a reasonable price. Good friendly service. Well done!

We have been to the restaurant for a couple of meals many years ago, and had a fine meal, and the place is well established in Ammanford, but our takeaway tonight was quite poor The special fried rice was stodgy and lacked flavour, the pancake rolls were like something from Iceland, the duck in plum sauce and lemon chicken were ok ish, but both quite chewy. All in all, a very underwhelming meal, unfortunately.

Had a great lunch here on Sunday. Although the menu is limited there is still plenty to choose from. Staff are friendly and service is quick. We also had take away twice during our stay in Ammanford. Choice on this menu is unlimited. The order was ready when we went to pick them so no waiting and the food was hot. Defiantly one of the best Chinese restaurants we have visit. Recommend a visit if you are in Ammanford and want a great place to eat.

I was encouraged to see how busy this restaurant is and looked forward to really nice takeaway chinese. Sadly not so good. Although the portions are very generous and the quality of the ingredients seems good the food was disappointingly bland. We ordered the baked bean curd with salt, chilli and garlic. The bean curd was obviously good quality but oh! where had the flavour gone? No discernible chilli at all and not much salt and garlic either. The mixed vegetables with cashews in a yellow bean sauce was the same, lovely selection of vegetables but what had happened to the "oriental" accents that prevent it from just being stewed vegetables? The days when British people were afraid of a bit of an exotic "kick" are passed, lets have some zap in our food!

Service was polite and food arrived quickly. Very tasty and authentic Cantonese, hot and generous portions. I had hot and sour soup, followed by pork chow mien Szechuan-yum! My wife had ribs with a sticky, spicy sauce then chicken, ginger and spring onion with rice, again it was good. The restaurant was clean, has a “5” hygiene rating and now, two new regular customers.

Have enjoyed the food from Royal Kitchen for some time and were happy to see if re-open. The food is generally very nice, though some of the more recent meals have been a little bit of a let down. Last take away had a curry that tasted of nothing but curry powder and a chow-mein full of veg, which is how it normally comes but we’d specifically asked for no veg. Have also had some hit and miss service in the restaurant itself, with the wrong food being delivered and drinks not turning up. However, so long as the recent mistakes are not a sign of ongoing declining standards, would wholeheartedly recommend.

5 minutes outside of Ammanford town centre is The Royal Kitchen and it is well worth the effort. The interior is not your classic Chinese restaurant (I suspect it was a pub in a previous life but my hosts weren't sure). The service is attentive, polite and very efficient (including the charming younger staff). Despite our huge order, the food was served promptly and piping hot and it was absolutely delicious. Unsurprisingly for a Saturday night it got very busy and I hope this continues for it as it deserves all the success it can get.

For years the people of Ammanford have always raved that the Royal Kitchen was amazing with the original team so when we heard they had reopened again we HAD to try it. I tried for almost an hour to get through but it was constantly engaged so we went down to order. The queue was out of the door to order takeaway so I wasn't holding out much hope of our food tasting nice as the restaurant was full and the takeaways were very busy too. We told it would be an hour, which I fully expected. On pick up it was still extremely busy so I didn't think the food would be up to scratch, but I was very wrong! We had the mixed hor d'oeuvres, pork fried rice, chips, chicken curry and prawn crackers. It was all divine!!! Definitely found a new takeaway fave in Ammanford! We've had it a few times since then and it's consistently scrummy!!!

We were frequent customers at this take away for years, and were disappointed when it closed. We tried a takeaway last night. Had beef satay, deep fried prawns with sweet and sour sauce with egg fried rice and prawn crackers. It was delicious, apart from the prawn crackers, which were thick and hard, they were not to our taste. The quality of the beef and prawns was superb and cooked to perfection. Would have given it a 5 star, but the portions were much smaller than we had prior to its closure. The price was however, comparable to what we paid a couple of years ago. We would have preferred a rise in the price, thus enabling the portion sizes to remain the same. This is just our opinion, and we still enjoyed the excellent food. Next time would order and extra dish. Would recommend it for its quality and flavour.

I am a regular customer and have been for years, the food here is always lovely weither we eat in or take out! The only thing that lets it down is the service! Although I do have to point out that the more 'not very good english' speaking staff are very polite and always happy rather than the more fluent english speaking staff who are quite frankly rude!. I am not sure if she is the bar/restaurant manager but she always dresses in black.... she can be most rude to customers aswell as her staff! I have overheard her many times speaking to the staff appallingly! And can get quite 'huffy' with the customers if they proving to be asking for her help a lot! The owners are always very welcoming but most of the staff do tend to hang around and watch you eating (especially if its a quiet time and you're the only ones in there - like lunchtimes..)So on a whole I do most definitely recomend The Royal Kitchen for food, if only 'the manager' would perhaps attend a customer relations course and all staff could stop watching the customers to finish their food. This is the only reason it gets a 4* from me...

Two course meal at lunchtime is great.. Go on give it a try, open till 2pmThe ribs melt, the Hot and Spicy soup is exactly that, fab. Chilli chicken is also brill. Evening meals are also great but may need to book in advance.Easy to find, and parking outside the door

I was very pleasantly surprised. Very warm welcome, nice atmosphere and good service, always staff around when needed. Food was very nice but rather large portions, maybe to large.over all I was very pleased and would defenetly go there again for a good quality Chinese.

Dishes are top quality, exc service. Nice atmosphere. Book for new yr,, the staff made it great fun supplying fun items, sparkly wigs, poppers etc, i find the family very friendly, accommodating and supportive of local schools and clubs. Have taken my netball girls here and they have enjoyed alot. Never had bad meal! Not cheap, but u get what u pay for! I rate it very highly.

Good choice for a sit down menu but a bit pricey. Has a wide variety of dishes well cooked but not the cheapest place to eat. service a bit abrupt

Poor staff interaction with everything seeming a difficulty. We had the carvery. Frozen vegetables dry turkey and aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings we will never return. This place has deteriorated as it has always been our place for lunch in Carmarthen not anymore

Visited last week and decided to have a change. There was my gf and I both wanted a curry, but portions are so generous we couldn't eat two, so we ordered one curry, and a special fried rice with curry sauce not BBQ. It was superb, full of flavour and hot. Couldn't ask for more tbh, and will definitely be returning.
