Just had a dinner and was excellent. Beside River and outdoor space. The food are amazing and envoirment remind me the busy stadium football match half time Moment when we used to stand on the line for food.
Good place to visit with friend or family also just out side canary wharf Uber Water bus stop.

The food was okay I would say is normal Chinese restaurant standards not bad but is not Royal China standards. Other royal China in central London is much better for the same price. Please try this Baker Street one if you can. Service is …

The food was delicious and we enjoyed it. However, the service was absolutely horrible. We waited for 1.5 hours to be seated and were being chased away whilst finishing the final bits of our food just because there are people waiting on the …

One of my go-to dimsum places. They now service both their indoor and outdoor dining spaces - absolutely love their outdoor patio space as it's wide and spacious (particularly good given covid), with river views to boot and large umbrellas …

This place never faults, regardless of which branch you go to in London. Perfect place for a Sunday brunch. It's good to see they are observing social distancing rules, with hand sanitizers available on every table, staff wearing face masks …

One of my favourite place for dim sum. Sure the staff may not be overly warm, but the food is unbeatable. Top quality dim sum, riverside view, nice deco and hand sanitiser for each table. I think you would find it hard to find more …

Worst experience ever! My boyfriend and I reserved a table and arrived on time - the first two soups took 40 minutes to arrive. And when we kindly ask to switch to a better place under the umbrella with lights on, and they told us it’s …

Very delicious dim sum. Shrimp noodle in soy sauce are highly recommended. Jasmin tea is very good smell, it brew from tea leaf not instant tea bag. Clean Cutlery set. Staffs are very active. Crowded, better to reserve the seat for lunch and dinner time. Lobster also fresh.

Reliably good dim sum and à la carte. Make sure you get there early on weekends to avoid queuing.

Quite a decent night out at Royal China. Detailed notes below -
- Good selection of dishes across noodles, rice, tofu, chicken, pork, beef and seafood
- Good portion sizes - 2 mains and a starter is more than enough for 2 people at about 35 …

Having been to the Royal China at Baker Street I was expecting the standard to be just as high and I'm happy to report that it's just as good, if not better due to the surroundings.
We had all my usual dim sum favourites along with one …

One of the best dim sum in London! Cannot complement it enough!
The dim sums are between 4-8 pounds. Dishes are around 14-18 pounds.
There are ALWAYS waiting times between 20min to 1h but you are given a number with your order and a …

I have been meaning to go this this restaurant for a couple of months and finally had a chance to try their delicious dishes yesterday evening. Food is divine - everything tastes amazing. This is trully the best chineese restsutant I have ever been to. Meals are priced reasonably so you can easily afford to buy few different dishes ;)

Food has been it's best selling point for sure.
The place itself is nice, lots of seats for groups or couples.

We stopped here while walking on the river bank in Canary Wharf. They sat us outside. Quickly took our order. The food came fast and it was delicious with a generous portion. Unfortunately they don’t serve dim sum for dinner. We will go back on a lunch to try them because they looked very appealing from the pictures

Maybe just me but every time I go here I have to wait 30 minutes plus to get a table. Today (Sunday 6-Sep-2020) we arrived at 12.30 and was told waiting time 45 minutes to an hour and given a ticket number 250. 5 minutes into the wait …

The seafood dim sum is delicious, also the deep fried crispy sesame prawn rolls. For wasabi fans, don't miss the stuffed tomatoes.
I wouldn't define the service as friendly, but really helpful with babies and children, which is great.

Read reviews, said generally ok to bad service, great food. I got ok "you're kind of annoying us" service, and great food ???? Dim Sum was nice and the price was good. If the staff were friendly and welcoming it would be 5/5. I felt like I was an annoyance rather than a welcome guest.

£21 for 1/2 chicken and rice take away. Chicken is tiny and not spring onion nor ginger flavoured. Not one leg or any breast pieces, just odd necks and wings in here. Its definitely too small and too few pieces to be half chicken. Not one pit of egg in my so called egg fried rice. Awfully expensive and not worth it.

I called up to ask a few questions about the menu. The gentleman on the phone was so rude and impatient with my questions. He hung up the phone on me in the end and I will never go back there again.

Fantastic location, pier unfortunately in the way of the view. Food is quite good, and setting is great. Only huge let down was the awful service, and unfortunately I can't even blame it on one member of staff, they were rude, rushed, and didn't bother to respond to complaints. Waited over 20 mins just to order a drink. Real shame
