Royal China Club

Me and my partner eat out a lot in London, and we visited this place by accident when passing by. Tempted by nice high end interiors we expected the best chinese in town. Basically the rest is just disappointment. I ate better chinese in a takeaway shop. Some items were disgusting. Service poor, the mains where served separately, so i had to wait 10 minutes before my partner got her dish. The same with starters. We spent 100 pounds, and felt like we basically trew the money away. Will never visit and make all friend vary of this place. P.S fish dish worth 30 pounds - you would expect somthing tasty?No in there! This place is a rip off.

Great place for a group celebration dinner. I can only comment on a big group experience. We were a large group of people here for Chinese New Year so we booked the private room as the restaurant was sure to be crowded. The set menu was on line so no price surprises. The food was really excellent, comparable to Hong Kong and Guangzhou with fresh ingredients and both delicate and savoury dishes. Presentation was simple and straightforward ( some might gripe at that being too simple for the price). Dessert, while traditional, could have been a bit more elaborate in presentation in my opinion but did taste great. Service was fast and attentive. The manager passed by a couple of times to check things were going ok. The wine list was a real surpris ... really excellent French wines at prices that did not reek of extortion. This is not a cheap place so have no illusions about going there for any kind of bargain. Your credit card needs to be be in good health. For a large group, a special occasion, several memorable hours of good food, wine, conversation and then leave to face a snowy cold London with smile and warm stomach..it is hard to beat. If you have an excuse for a splurgefor a very large group, I highly recommend. Would rate it 8.5-9/10 and I would say prices are high but pretty fair considering the amount of work that went into preparing some of the dishes.

Three times been at this restaurant,three times the same quality and hospitality!real Chinese tastes in a very modern "black" lighted place

Royal China Club is bloody great, excellent dim sum and tea, quiet a few comments about arrive on here which I have never really had a major problem with. Maybe more of a lunch venue rather than dinner.

How come my negative review yesterday has not been published yet. I went there for dinner yesterday, based on your star review and took the rouble to write my feedback which was unfortunately that the service was atrocious. The reaturant doesnt deserve your star rating. I hope Timeout is not like the BBC - avoiding their mistakes by not publishing my negative feedback.

The food was pretty acceptable not excellent to deserve 5 stars. But let downbadly by atrocious service tonight 23 October. The staff were surly, inattentive and unnecessarily brusque. We ordered a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine. They left both on a side table with other guests wine. It was not easy to ask the waiters to refill our glasses. In spite of this enforced slow drinking, we ran out of wine surprisngly quickly. I am pretty sure the wines were mixed up leaving us with an empty bottle very quickly.

Perfectly cooked delicious food. The menu offers a nice selection of seafood, meet and veg. A good place for dinner.

excellent food service poor Raised this with management and they just smiled

Food is always excellent service leaves a lot to be desired Raised this with management and they just smiled

I've been a regular visitor for the last 3 years, and this is still my favorite dim sum in London with Yauatcha, just in front of Pearl Liang and Hakkasan. I've always been especially impressed by the diligent service and the tea menu.
