Not quite sure where I should start. Myself and my fiance are always looking for new restaurants to try and we always read the reviews before we book a table. We clearly didn't do our homework before attending the Royal Garden. To begin with I have never been to China ..but I'm pretty sure their royal Garden would not smell as foul as this restaurant did when we first walked in. It resembled something from the 80s, it is smelly dark and dated and pretty prehistoric. We gave it the benefit of the doubt and ordered dinner. We had a choice of menus and I ordered from the pre theatre menu and my partner choose from the al a carte. Barbeque spare ribs I ordered for a starter... these came out dry (no sauce) I asked the waitress where the barbeque was, she explained unless they were ordered from the other menu they came dry. She then offered me some barbecue sauce and this would be an additional charge ! Which I gladly accepted. When they emerged from the kitchen they were the same dry ribs with a touch of tasteless barbeque sauce on them. My partners salt and chilli ribs were not too bad to be fair. The mains.... I choose the sweet n sour chicken which to be fair was edible..if you like microwave sweet n sour. My partners combination chow mein was certainly a combination... a combination of something that resembled slops. Mixed meat which was under cooked on a bed of which looked like super noodles , most of which were half cooked and still crunchy actually that's an insult to bachelor's who make super noodles. The soup (gravy) that should be thick and tasty covering the chow mein was like greasy dish water. We refused the sweet menu and swiftly paid and left. Any one thinking of attending the Royal garden.. maybe consider getting a takeaway and staying in your own garden .it will taste better and certainly smell better. We won't be back how this place is functional I will never know. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
