Square Meal review of Royal China:

Enormously popular for its dim sum, which is comparable to the best in Hong Kong, this flagship branch of the glossy black-&-gold mini chain is renowned for long queues at weekend lunchtimes. The wide-ranging dim sum menu encompasses classic steamed varieties such as prawn har gau & fried delicacies like turnip cake with dried meat, interspersed with speciality dumplings including abalone & chicken, & Shanghai pork with crabmeat: all delicate & expertly made. Soups, noodles, rice, imaginative contemporary desserts & a good choice of tea are on hand should dumpling fatigue set in. Evenings offer the same high standards of Cantonese cooking in the likes of oyster omelette with chives, honey roast pork &, especially, seafood, with a pricy range of abalone dishes marking out Royal China as a favoured venue for Chinese family celebrations. The smart service typifies that found in many Chinese restaurants – ‘not much humour, but efficient’.
