Royal China Docklands - Tower Hamlets

Great venue sitting out by the river and the the dummy sum was equally of the highest quality and variety.

Spent £30 and didnt enjoy the food atall it tasted terrible! the chicken chow mein had a burnt horrible taste and the bbq sauce tasted nothing like bbq sauce it was a disaster and a waste of money will never order again!!!!!

Ate here a few times recently for dim sum. Steamed items decent. Some items not cooked freshly/not delivered to table hot so quality suffered, esp fried items. Service is pretty standard, but coupled with some lukewarm items, we did raise an eyebrow when 13% was automatically added. We are not in a hurry to return.

It has been a few years since we had dinner in RC in canary wharf. We came to celebrate my brother's birthday as we wanted some decent Chinese food. However, the portions were small and prices were overpriced. For example, their famous lotus rice was £16.80 but portion size was for 2 people at best. Also they didn't have crispy roast pork on a Saturday night! Service was not food, no one offered us tea for at least 10 to 15mins. We had to flag someone down. Same for ordering our dishes, no one seemed to care whether we ordered or not. They added service charge to the bill and was still asking for tip when we paid by credit card. They certainly do not deserve any extra tips. I had recently been to the Baker Street branch and had better food and experience. Shame to see the CW branch so badly run. I don't mind paying more if the service and food had better value. Don't think I will go there again.

We used to live close to this Chinese restaurant and went back for a visit yesterday evening. I’m pleased to say it was as good as ever, the food was amazing. The crispy duck as a starter was wonderful. We also especially enjoyed the beef in ginger and spring onions. Contrary to some recent reviews we found the service efficient and friendly.
