Good quality dim sum. A little expensive and portion sizes for dishes such as fried noodles could be a little more generous. Trying to get the attention of the waiter/waitress on a busy Sunday afternoon can test your patience... as can the queue for a table on a Sunday. Still, the dim sum is worth the wait.

Comfortable and friendly staff. The menus are in English and has many photos.The atmosphere is nice and the staff are attentive. The taste of the food is great and authentic

This is arguably one of the better Chinese restaurants in London that do not charge ridiculous prices for the quality of their food especially their dim sum.This place serves excellent dim sum. Their prawn dumplings, cheong fun and egg tarts are to die for!This is a really good place for everyone, be it for family, friends, love or work/business purposes.Advisable to come early, just before opening hours for their weekend dim sum. Please ensure the entire group is there else you’ll be denied entry 🤣Highly recommended!!

Very good dim sum... authentic... please do not expect wonderful service... the focus is food quality...

Myself and my friend visited Royal China in Bayswater on Friday and had the loveliest meal. The staff were very attentive and helpful when it came to ordering and telling us more about the dishes. Everything that we ordered was delicious - especially the crispy duck, lemon chicken and fried chilli beef. We were pleasantly surprised by the dessert. We ordered apple coated in toffee and it was perfectly cooked. Would highly recommend this restaurant whether youre eating with friends, going on a date or having a family meal.

Very good Chinese restaurant. It’s a great pleasure to discover that the greatest Chinese restaurants are not located in china town. The staff is very welcoming and everything we ordered was very good. We had fried soft shell crab and pork dumplings as a starter and seafood udon plus chili chicken as a main (~50£). The portions were filling. The amazing part was that the dishes were looking exactly as the pictures in the menu!! This really helps your ordering!! We will surely come back to try the dim sum menu available for lunch only.The service was a bit slow.Toilets are inside (also disable).Vegan and vegetarian choice available.

It is true that I spend a lot of time on London, in fact it’s fast becoming my second home, and whilst my knowledge of the Yorkshire Cuisine Scene is just a tad more than the average guy on the street, my knowledge of London eateries is less so, albeit I still know it relatively well.But one thing that has (up until now) escaped me is a decent Chinese Restaurant, whilst Soho is a forest of Chinese eateries with so many which one do you choose?Fresh from an afternoon sat in Green Park in the rare epic sunshine of the capital sipping Rhubarb & Ginger G&T’s I made the quick journey to Queensway Station where the Royal China is located almost adjacent to.On one of the hottest days of the year the welcome cold blast from the air conditioning was a welcome feel, also was the sight of a packed restaurant filled with people who looked like they knew a thing or two about authentic Chinese food, always a very good sign.The decor of the restaurant is, i’m reliably informed, authentic in comparison to the great restaurants you’ll find in China, almost formal in its style, white table cloths, waiters dressed in black, bright white lighting and a lobster tank, you get the idea.Whilst the toilets leave a lot to be desired, not normally something I’d comment on but all of my companions did mention it, the service is impeccable, with a menu this vast in choice we elect to seek advice from the waitress who delivers a blow by blow account of what we should be eating, we take her word for it.As so the dishes start flowing, Peking Duck with Hoisin and Wraps, Crispy Baby Squid, Soft Shell Crab, Honey Roasted Pork, Sweet & Sour King Prawns.Again where the restaurant disappoints in presentation they delight in flavour so much so that we all agree this is one of the finest Chinese Meals I’ve ever encountered.The rice is fluffy and tasty the noodles are seasoned well and accompany the dishes perfectly but what impresses me the most is the pork, it’s juicy, tender, finger licking good.Royal China have a number of restaurants located around the city including the Royal China Club, regarded as the best in London. If you are in need of a Chinese fix and find yourself in the Capital then my strong recommendation is Royal China, authentic awesome Chinese food!!

Delicious dim sum and authentic Chinese dishes, good service and comfortable environment!

Amazing place! Food and stuff are superb. I’m sure it’s an authentic Chinese restaurant because they had many Chinese customers :))

Authentic Chinese Dim Sum. Clean and friendly environment. Reasonable price. Highly recommended.

2 of us came here on a Sunday late morning. There are usually long queues out the door but we were early so were seated straight away.We ordered:- Prawn & Chive Dumplings £3.95. Portion is much bigger than other places, delicious- Seafood Dumplings (a special that was on that day so I don’t remember the exact name and price)- Sesame Prawn Rolls £3.95- Plain Cheung Fun w/ Peanut Sauce £3.95- Seafood Baked Rice- Crispy Pork Belly. Very good quality, soft but crispy ok top- Tapioca Yam & Coconut £3.65. Portion is much bigger than other places.- Black Sesame Mochi with Peanut. Served warm, not too sweet and absolutely yummyEverything was really delicious. This place is slightly more expensive than other dim sum places but it’s definitely worth it. You can see it in the quality and size of the dishes.The staff were all pleasant and efficient. Highly recommend but beware of long queues during regular meal times.

Great Dim Sum. Highly rated and didnt disappoint. Enjoyed the beef fried ho fun . Service is good.

Authentic Chinese cuisine. Really fast service. Food was exceptional. Crispy duck was amazing, thick plum sauce and big portion. Also had spicy prawns and egg friend rice. Recommend visiting this restaurant.

A very well organised restaurant.Dim Sums are fresh and delicious.The staff and service are excellent.

First time in this restaurant, everything is great good service, good food and very kind staff highly recommend

Dim sum here is great

Busy place. Plentiful food. Doesnt take travelcard visa so remember to bring cash if your not local. Friendly manager, serving staff not so helpful. Price average £7 per dish. We had two mains, rice and tea, under £28.

Top quality- real Chinese food and clientele.Excellent New Year celebrations with “Lion Dance”

Fast service. Dimsum is alright! Should try: shrimp and chives dumpling, lotus rice, shrimp soup dumpling and shrimp in rice paper

After having some quite dismal experiences around Chinatown, we decided to have a brunch in a more posh area with well reputed Dim Sum. It was pure bliss for a foodie.I have tried Dim Sum many Places outside Hong Kong - but this was the closest I have come so far.When we arrived, there was a waiting queue - not unexpected on a sunday, but getting a raffle-ticket, and told the wait was approx. 20 mins - quite agreeable -they have a Picture menu, and it looked VERY promising - so checking out the Hood for a little while in Londons first snow of the year, was only whetting the appetite.When we came back, it was not a long wait until we were led to a table, seated, and presented with menues When it comes to Dim Sum, I always feel like one of everything please - but wisely we settled for doing 2 rounds - favourites first, then a exploratory second round just to fill up any suspected crannies in the tummy.We started off with Prawn & Chive Duplings - deliciously fresh steamed, and crunchy prawns perfectly cooked - then Prawn Dumplings - also perfect crunch - off to Minced Pork Dumpling with Shrimp - a staple any Dim Sum cannot do without - Honey Roast Pork Puffs, warm crunchy pastry with a tangy filling, - then my all time favourite - Cheung Fun with Prawns, a dumply chewy roll with a dark soy sauce do dip in - and some Pan Fried Gyozas - all enjoyed with steaming Jasmine Tea - a feast fit for an Chinese Emperor.The tummy was feeling the effort here, but stil too many tempting items on the menu - round two was considered - and given a go ahead.Scallop Dumplings - a tender taste spiced nearly to perfection, a second og at the Cheung Fun - this time Honey Roast Pork, some Sesame Prawn Rolls, which was the suprise of the day - crunchy, sesame-nutty and super-crunchy prawns - it formerly exploded of taste in the mouth - I lack words to describe it. Rounded of with Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf, steamed and tasty.We split a Mango Pudding in the end - I dont think either of us would have been able to finish one off alone. Tasty, and definitely something I will try to play around with in the home Kitchen as well.It was`nt cheap - but then again - if you value whats on your plate by quality and tasty experience - I would say this was a good buy! Next time in London, I`ll definitely be back!

We come here often for yum cha (dumplings) on the weekend. They do all the Cantonese staples very well - sui mai, har gow, cheung fan etc. When they have the fried baby octopus (not calamari) highly recommend getting that as well as the lava buns. Skip the veggies as they overcharge significantly for these (i.e. Chinese broccoli or gai lan).

Most Amazing restaurant in the world. Grew up going here every week and is my first stop whenever I’m in London. This restaurant is a gem, I never could dream of having anything bad to say, It’s that incredible! My favourite restaurant without a doubt.

Excellent Chinese food, it is a bit more pricey but excellent food and service. Go here for the best Chinese food in Bayswater.

Good quality

Fast service + authentic dim sum. The charcoal salted egg lava buns are delicious - must try!

One of the best Cantonese restaurant in London, the stir-fry soya beef noodle HK style, is sooooo good! Dim sums are good too, superb services and fair price!

✓ Vegetarian & Vegan OptionsThis place was recommended to me by a friend and with good reason. Good authentic dim sum at reasonable prices. We had 4 dim sums, 1 wonton noodle soup and a dessert that totalled to about £50+ (2 pax). The service was speedy and attentive. Although the restaurant is quite big, I definitely recommend booking ahead of time especially on weekends (and if you’re with a big group).

Just had a takeaway from china royal bognor regis. Half way into eating my chicken chowmein, I bit into a used cigarette filter! Absolutely disgusting!! Someone needs to tell the chef not to smoke whilst cooking! Will never use this resteraunt ever again! I would obviously give no stars but it wont allow me to post a review without giving at least one star!!

Pwking duck was very good. Dim Sum were a little disappointing. Service is very good

Excellent dishes - loved it when I first went there for Chinese New Year!

Happy dining experience 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😋😋😋😄😄😄

At the first moment you come to that restaurant they give you a great feeling. Very courteous waiters, it is a kind place to enjoy with your friends or with your date. tasty food, skillful chief cook and stuff, good cost and excellent service. Highly recommended.

Food was excellent if a little pricey.Service very slow. Not enough staff, making it difficult to get any service. It was a busy evening, but the main problem is there are too many tables squeezed into the restaurant.Navigating to the bathroom was like a Crystal Maze puzzle, there so many times you can say excuse me, sorry as you weave your way around the labyrinth of diners!Could be superb if they reduced the covers.

The picture in the menu is misleading. I order a soup, and the menus picture shows a big bowl of soup, but it turned out to be just a small cup of soup. I asked for clarification from the manager. The manage is rude and insulting, he said Are you unhappy with it? This is how it is. if you are not happy with it, you can cancel and leave. As a tourist from the US, i have never seen this kind of bad service and attitude. I was very disappointed and angry with what the manager said and how he handled the situation. I will also report this instance to the consumer right authority of London to complaint this bad service behaviors. Dont go to this place, it has the worst attitude you would ever see.

I needed someone to recommend this place to actually go here but Im glad I did. The big news item here is the food is great tasting and presented very well. They are very popular and there was a queue outside, quite a substantial one. Theres a ticketing system to get a table. Inside the fittings are fresh and modern. The atmosphere of the restaurant is high energy, lots of friends and families talking and laughing and eating. Good vibes. The business is so successful they kinda push and hurry you along so if you arent eating, youre paying the bill so they can free the table for the next group. You arent forced to move but they are very fast and efficient with the service to the table. I really enjoyed this and will add it to my list of Chinese restaurants that I trust.

For 2 of us, we ordered veg spring rolls, beef with black bean sauce, and soft noodles. No beverages. Tab was GBP 45, which we thought was bit too high. 10% service charge was included automatically.Service was good, but the food was a bit oily. Beef was delicious.

Eating Chinese food in London for the 1st time.Overall appearance is not bad but needs some renovations since it looks a bit dirty in here.The food was pretty good but portions are a bit on the small side. I would not order plain rice ..since fried rice is about the same price with the same amount...Waiter were courteous and speaks mandarin and Cantonese from my experience.

DONT go to this restaurant, just go to Royal China Baker Street instead.I went here three times: two with my colleague and one by myself. I sincerely think I deserve better service. The female receptionist is simply impatient especially when you talk to her in Chinese. What on earth that that you treat people who has the same ethnicity less than others? I felt ridiculous and started talking to them in English. However, once the waiter noticed that I talked to one of my colleagues in Chinese, he become more impatient and replied my English with Chinese and rude manner.I felt sorry if its because they got too much work to do. However, I dont think it justifies that some of you could perform so badly.Also, the food is too salty and tastes worse than the one in Royal China Baker Street, where I went up to 8 times. Just go there. That is my favorite restaurant in London.

Yesterday was the first time we came to that fine restaurant. But It is obviously not the last time. We had great time with the excellent service, with the magnificent cooking and fine drinks and with the honest pay. We will surely visit there soon.

My husband and I had lunch dimsum,all the food we ordered were served quite quick,we didnt wait for long time, came very hot and tasty.The stuff were all helpful and polite, they explained certain food with a good knowledge. We enjoyed ourselves, it was not too crowded for weekdays, but when is at the weekend,is expected to be crowded.So we prefer to come during the week.Keep it up with a good service and the quality of the food. The only criticism is the toilet,the time when I use it,it wasnt clean.

New menu dim sum

Some of the best Dim Sum I have found in London. Great service and it is always busy which is a good sign. This is now one of my must go to places in London when I am there. I recommend the steamed pork buns and the really nice cuttlefish fish-cakes (I forgot what they were on the menu). All in all a great place to eat.

A huge place with zero atmosphere. Feels more like a food hall rather than a proper restaurant. The floor was dirty, one of the chairs was wet and the staff wasnt in the mood to service us. They limited the interaction with us to the minimum, and when we asked for an explanation about the dishes on our table (one of us was vegetarian so it was quite important to know) they got it all wrong mixing between the scallop and vegetarian dim sum.The general vibe is - eat as fast as you can and go because there are other in line waiting for your place.The food was OK, not a lot of vegetarian options but I guess thats typical to this cuisine type.

Have been a regular for many years now. Every Sunday with a large group of family.we’ve tried many throughout London and settled with joy on Queensway Royal China. Food has consistently been of the highest quality, we’ve enjoyed the chef changes and adjustments over the years and the staff are magnificent. Unsurpassable. We love them .

I have eaten at the Royal Garden many times with my Chinese friends. The food is always first-class, and there is plenty of variety. I especially enjoy coming here for Dim Sum. The staff are always polite and helpful.

Always a favourite. Always good food Ive been going for over 35 years. Dim sum also excellent at lunch time only. Evening is a la cart menu.

This place is terrible. Hair in the food, bad service, warm drinks, dirty bathrooms, poor quality food.

Best Chinese food in the area. Fresh and great quality. Even looks like a real Chinese restaurant!!!! Been here many times and tried most of the menu and its all above par!!! The only negative is if you get there close to closing time (they close early) you will be rushed and politely made feel not welcome any more!!!!

Great food. Slow service. 10 min after being seated before order was taken. Had to ask twice for supplemental drink order to be delivered. Way too long between dishes brought to table. This contributes to long wait times for tables.

Really authentic Chinese restaurant for dim sum! Price is on the higher side but you definitely get what it’s worth! The service is fast. Would advise to go early cos there’s sometimes quite a queue!

Best dimsum in London

Very popular but pretty boring? Food was okay. Service was great. Just nothing to write home about unfortunately.

Not that authentic and limited menu choices, don’t go if you’re looking for authentic Chinese food.

Great chinese Dim Sum

Most amazing high standards Chinese food in London. Not greasey. Very tasty. Pleasant atmosphere. Remarkable service and speed.

Very good Dim Sum. Enjoy by my whole family...3 generations every time we are in Queensway. Prepared to wait during Sunday lunch. Worth it.

Very nice Chinese food and quality has been kept consistent over the years. Good and friendly service too. Reservations recommended.

Bad service but food was okay.The other branch at Baker Street is so much better even the service there!Plus the food there is so much better too

Delicious food for quite a reasonable price. Great for groups and not too busy for lunch. The waiter was very friendly and helpful with everything. Definitely recommend.

We have been going to Royal China at Queensway for more than 20 years. The food and service had always been very good. We went there to celebrate new year and was very disappointed. This busy restaurant does not take reservations. After waiting for 45 minutes for a table for 6, we had to wait another 30 minutes just to get a cup of tea. The food was really poor. The Peking duck was a complete rip off, not Peking duck at all. It was a common roast duck serve on a bed of cheap prawn cracker which you get free of charge from Chinese takeaways. The crispy aromatic duck was dry and stale, no better than what you can get from any local takeaway; and they charged £55 plus service charge for these awful dishes. The dim sum was the worst we have eaten, and we had to pay over £250, without alcohol, for this great disappointment, We will not go back again,

Centrally located in Bayswater. Service excellent, food of good quality and not greasy at all. Ambience of restaurant is perfect, cant fault anything. Keep up the good work

Great food, superb dim sum, fantastic service, old fashioned atmosphere but I enjoyed nonetheless. A good sign are the dozens of Chinese living in London who choose to eat there. Id go again.

The staff can be a little stiff and unfriendly but the food is exquisite. My preference is to eat in the daytime when a mouth watering array of truly delicious dumplings are on offer.Even after gorging myself on the delights of Royal China I have a fresh feeling that is totally unfamiliar when eating more down at heal Chinese laced with grease and MSG.A real delight.

Overpriced average food, no offence to them Im aware they need to pay the rent for that central location but they could improve on food. Ive had better street food than that for a fiver. Staff was alright tho.

Been there many times over year but this time they must have changed chef, 3 dish we ordered all not same quality as previous, super oily or literally layer of oil on dish… the scallop with vegetables not fresh… next time better go to opposite Mandarin kitchen

A queue of people was waiting in front of the restaurant. We were afraid to not be able to have a table, despite a small entrance, we found a very large room with larges tables. The service was very quick and polite and the meals were excellent. They do have another restaurant in Fulham I believe and do some deliveries (I saw the van)

Awesome food and great, friendly service. The dumplings are really excellent.

Nice place, service was good, staff pleasant and food excellent.

I was skeptical when looking at the reviews about this place. Im glad I did not listen to them and followed my instincts. We ordered the Peking duck,sweet and sour pork and a prawn dish. All thr dishes were amazing. Definitely will be coming back before flying out.

Tasty dim sum, but expensive. Poor customer service. Fresh apple juice is £4.80. This should be clearly explained or shown on the menu.

This branch of Royal China is the best, but the one in Baker Street is excellent too. My kids insist on coming here each time we visit London. You MUST go for Dim Sum! (Unsure whether dim sum is served in the evening?) If you have kids, skip dessert and instead finish off the meal with an ice cream in the park, and let the kids have a run-around the nearby Diana Princess of Wales playground.

Please dim the room and get new carpet or go without. Food very good. Service very good. Just, no vibe.

A perennial favourite and local institution for yum cha. Service is brisk, the food is of consistent great quality. Go for classics like siu mai, prawn toast and Singapore noodles. Very reasonable prices and always a good mixed crowd. You get the sense that people come here as a tradition, and that is a good thing.

Bad service and food doesn’t taste well either.Not recommended!

Have been going to this place for many years. When its good, its great. Id actually rate it 4.5 stars. Ive just had one really disappointing experience when the Peking duck was dried out. Otherwise it is super juicy and the skin is crispy and flavorful. The dim sum has always been fresh and top notch. I have not found a restaurant in Chinatown that is better than this place on a good day.

Fantastic dumplings.Ive been on a mission to find good dumplings in London. And I definitely found them here.Royal China has a great menu, and well worth the wait. I went for lunch on Saturday and there is roughly a 20 min wait on a table due to popularity.On Sundays theres a queue on the street. Im so happy to have enjoyed some really good quality dumplings here. And glimpsing the kitchen through the occasional open door with wait staff entering or exiting revealed a formidable hive of activity within.Service there is good, though a couple of the waiters were... Not great. Generally though that seems to be the norm in these kinds of establishments so dont take it to heart.Ill definitely be going back there, as there are few places Ive found that serve this high standard of Chinese cuisine in London.Really... I was so happy to find it.

One of my favourite restaurant for Dim sum when I am in London. And is so centrally located with easy access via Queensway and Bayswater underground

Perfect dim sum at very good prices. Fast service and the best tea I ever had

Excellent Chinese authentic food, but the restaurant lacks nice ambiance, and a personal feeling. Better for a weekday dinner or dinner with family. Not a recommendation for a romantic date for two.

The food quality is average, but the service is even worse. The lion dance performance during Chinese New Year was very festive at the beginning, until the extreme loud noise lasted for over 25 minutes. When we nicely suggested to lower the music, the staff simply just didnt care and mock back at our hearing. The original quote was we are used to it, you should wear your ear plug. I just dont think we deserve the service. Happy New Year.

Still delicious! Remember to go early to avoid long wait times.. Also, full party needs to be there b4 theyll seat you.

Tad pricey than the others but an excellent dim sum service, great crispy duck. Reserved but friendly service esp when they realize you are a regular. A highlight when in London.

Exceptional food here. Sunday afternoon dim sum is a must. The paper wrap prawns are to dies for.

The food here is probably nicer than any of the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown that I have tasted. But staff can be slightly brusque, owing in part to the extremely brisk business. Went for lunch, arrived at 1215 and there was already a queue with a 30 minute wait. Dim sum was detectable and well with the wait. That is if you have the time.

Firstly, the decor and food is mediocre compared to numerous Central London restaurants/bars having dined. The major flaw with this establishment is that it lacks in customer service, focus and interaction. No emphasis on communication, understanding and listening to their customers needs/requirements. Management should not make excuses for their staff and themselves and that if a service charge has been told to be removed it is a demand not a request; as it has failed to achieve a great experience and that it is NOT compulsory.Recommendations:Customers: AVOIDBusiness: Review your staff to understand the basic key customer service skills and policy that the customer is always right

Very very good good indeed. I would recommend this restaurant anytime.

I love Chinese food and I have tried quite a lot of restaurants and Chinese fast foods, but this restaurant was one of the best and for me they made the most delicious Sweet and sour chicken which is my favourite Chinese meal.Prices are good, affordable and portions are big.I would highly recommend for those who likes a good quality chinese dish.

Decent large Chinese restaurant that serves popular dim sum at the weekends. This used to be the best dim sum in London, having frequented this place over 20 years. However having visited recently after a gap of a few years I found that the prices have increased significantly, whilst the portion sizes have reduced and the quality has fallen. The place is large, if you dont visit on Sundays for dim sum then you shouldnt need to queue. Otherwise the queues can be biblical, when I visited the queue wasnt so big, perhaps a sign that its no longer the best place? The Chinese restaurant scene has changed a lot in London and Id say its worse than before, standards have dropped whilst prices have increased disproportionately. Depressing really.

Love it here been a few times when visiting london food is excellent highly recommended

Food as usual was great and service typical of any Chinese restaurant. Fortunately the timing worked out great and we didnt really have to wait for table otherwise generally there is a bit of a wait to get a table over the weekends.

This is a good place place for more authentic Cantonese style dim sum and dinner. Family friendly. Very busy on weekends. A bit pricey. As someone with Chinese background I would still recommend this restaurant.

Expensive (a small bowl of rice 7.70£), 10% service cost automatically included, very hectic, food ok

Food is good, service is bad. We used to come here quite often, until last time we ordered a bottle of water, the waiter just gave it to us and walked away.

What happened Royal China? From offering amazing dimsum and Chinese dishes and surly serving staff youve gone to offering terrible, bland dimsum and awful Chinese dishes and still very surly staff. What a disappointment.

Great for takeaways. Brunch queue is too long. Staff are rude. But great taste and consistent quality - been ordering for delivery for years

Food excellent. Service not very good, polite but felt rushed. Wcs in the ladies was disgusting.

Authentic Chinese cuisine with an atmosphere of a HK based establishment. Worth travelling to.

Food taste good. Variety is available. Also extra compared to restaurant in China town. However portions are smaller. Genuine chinese food for uk style.

The food is a touch more expensive than the other edtablishments along this street but comes served in a nicer presentation and better quality than most. Most reasonably priced are their dim sum lunch menus, though expect a queue at their doors 10 minutes before they open for business.

Simply the best! better than all the rest! The staff work flat out, the food is beyond great, the wait is ALWAYS worth it! Our favourite favourite Chinese....IN THE WORLD!
