I hosted a group of 13 here recently. Exemplary service, no long waits for food, clear bill (not common in London Chinese restaurants!). Food good, except for some soggy beancurd. But I was most impressed with how they handled a large group of people on a typically busy evening and I'd definitely return with a big group in future. more

I fully agree: they serve probably the best dim sum you can eat outside of China. It is also inexpensive (5 dim sum for under 20 pounds) and well worth the wait at lunch time (take a ticket from the hostess and wait to be called). The service looks hectic but in fact is efficient. more

I went twice to the Queensway restaurant on a resent visit to London. I enjoyed it both times, and this was doing the weekdays, at he weekend I went to the Docklands restaurant, and liked that to. Still the best in London for me, it is a must for me whenever I am there. Looking forward to go again. more

All of the Royal Chinas are good. Lovely decor. Nothing innovative but reliable and always there. You know what to expect and no surprises. more

I've eaten in Royal China many times over the last decade. For years, its dim sum was the best I had found in London. Perhaps on the weekend, it is still is. A recent Tuesday lunch visit, however, found the dim sum uninspiring. Perfectly decent, but hardly worth a special trip. The prices are a bit higher than most other... more
