Royal China Docklands

The location is great with good view of river view, food is not up to expectation that I had for royal China, mediocre at best. Will not come back

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!!!!!

Very rude person making the reservations. Highly strung and very rude. Overall this place has missed the bus. Some of the older staff are the saving grace. Definitely the management should get rid of the harridan at the door. View menu

Made a booking via their website only to find out that they don’t send confirmations and therefore no booking. Family dinner ruined. The rude staff didn’t help at all, offering us multiple tables for us but only for 90 minutes. A disgrace…..

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.

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. View menu

The food quality has gone downhill. Really sad for what was before a great restaurant. Also prepare to pay 13% more on what the menu says since the service charge is mandatory. The service was so rude we had to ask for them to remove but they refused to and caused a huge scene. Which is absolutely illegal ofcourse since it’s not subject to VAT only if it’s optional.

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 be...

I had relatives coming down from the North who are quite partial to Chinese cuisine. How about a walk along the Thames followed by a riverside meal? They have a dog so I made a point of checking if they were dog friendly. No. However they have tables and chairs outside. Unfortunately it was a wet day when we arrived and my very diplomatic brother in law went in to see what was possible. Answer: we are not serving outside. We were a bit hungry at this point so my sister offered to stay outside with the dog and have a take away whilst the 3 of us went inside. Not a great option, but my BiL went back in to make arrangements. Response: No. You can 't sit outside and have a takeaway. You have to... View menu
