"After having some quite dismal experiences around Chinatown, we decided to have a brunch in a more posh area with well reputed Dim Sum. It was pure bliss for a foodie. I have tried Dim Sum many Places outside Hong Kong but this was the closest I have come so far. When we arrived, there was a waiting queue not unexpected on a sunday, but getting a raffle ticket , and told the wait was approx. 20 mins quite agreeable they have a Picture menu , and it looked VERY promising so checking out the Hood for a little while in Londons first snow of the year, was only whetting the appetite. When we came back, it was not a long wait until we were led to a table, seated, and presented with menues When it comes to Dim Sum, I always feel like one of everything please but wisely we settled for doing 2 rounds favourites first, then a exploratory second round just to fill up any suspected crannies in the tummy. We started off with Prawn Chive Duplings deliciously fresh steamed, and crunchy prawns perfectly cooked then Prawn Dumplings also perfect crunch off to Minced Pork Dumpling with Shrimp a staple any Dim Sum cannot do without Honey Roast Pork Puffs, warm crunchy pastry with a tangy filling, then my all time favourite Cheung Fun with Prawns, a dumply chewy roll with a dark soy sauce do dip in and some Pan Fried Gyozas all enjoyed with steaming Jasmine Tea a feast fit for an Chinese Emperor. The tummy was feeling the effort here, but stil too many tempting items on the menu round two was considered and given a go ahead. Scallop Dumplings a tender taste spiced nearly to perfection, a second og at the Cheung Fun this time Honey Roast Pork, some Sesame Prawn Rolls, which was the suprise of the day crunchy, sesame nutty and super crunchy prawns it formerly exploded of taste in the mouth I lack words to describe it. Rounded of with Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf, steamed and tasty. We split a Mango Pudding in the end I dont think either of us would have been able to finish one off alone. Tasty, and definitely something I will try to play around with in the home Kitchen as well. It was`nt cheap but then again if you value whats on your plate by quality and tasty experience I would say this was a good buy! Next time in London, I`ll definitely be back!"

Authentic Chinese cuisine. Really fast service. Food was exceptional. Crispy duck was amazing, thick plum sauce and big portion. Also had spicy prawns and egg friend rice. Recommend visiting this restaurant. View menu

Good quality dim sum. A little expensive and portion sizes for dishes such as fried noodles could be a little more generous. Trying to get the attention of the waiter/waitress on a busy Sunday afternoon can test your patience... as can the queue for a table on a Sunday. Still, the dim sum is worth the wait.

This is arguably one of the better Chinese restaurants in London that do not charge ridiculous prices for the quality of their food especially their dim sum. This place serves excellent dim sum. Their prawn dumplings, cheong fun and egg tarts are to die for! This is a really good place for everyone, be it for family, friends, love or work/business purposes. Advisable to come early, just before opening hours for their weekend dim sum. Please ensure the entire group is there else you’ll be denied entry

Myself and my friend visited Royal China in Bayswater on Friday and had the loveliest meal. The staff were very attentive and helpful when it came to ordering and telling us more about the dishes. Everything that we ordered was delicious especially the crispy duck, lemon chicken and fried chilli beef. We were pleasantly surprised by the dessert. We ordered apple coated in toffee and it was perfectly cooked. Would highly recommend this restaurant whether you're eating with friends, going on a date or having a family meal. View menu

Very good Chinese restaurant. It’s a great pleasure to discover that the greatest Chinese restaurants are not located in china town. The staff is very welcoming and everything we ordered was very good. We had fried soft shell crab and pork dumplings as a starter and seafood udon plus chili chicken as a main ~50£ . The portions were filling. The amazing part was that the dishes were looking exactly as the pictures in the menu!! This really helps your ordering!! We will surely come back to try the dim sum menu available for lunch only. The service was a bit slow. Toilets are inside also disable . Vegan and vegetarian choice available.
