Square Meal Review of Royal China ?

The stone lions guarding the entrance to Royal China Canary Wharf clearly stopped anything untoward happening during a period of refurbishment. With its new gold-leaf ceiling, a fabulous mural, glassed-off private dining room & tree-lined, heated terrace, it looks as regally exotic as ever. ‘Brilliant food in a lovely setting’ is bolstered by refreshingly low bills & a wine list with plenty under £25 – so this really is glamour on a shoestring. The ‘wonderful’ dim sum attracts its share of bankers & Chinese diners, while ‘the sound of people enjoying themselves’ makes for a delightful atmosphere – even if service is ‘brisk’ & ‘functional’. In the evening, a colourful, illustrated Cantonese menu harbours other treats such as sautéed oysters with ginger & spring onion, Dover sole specials & fiery pork dumplings.

    I love dimsum and the Royal China chain is pretty much the best of the best in London. Their Canary Wharf site is probably my favourite just because of the views and the fact you can sit outside on a sunny day. The dimsum itself is wonderful, perfectly steamed fat parcels of prawns and scallops. The charsiu buns were fantastic with plenty of filling and a light dough and the fried noodles are always lovely in flavour and not overly greasy.

    This is the perfect lunch spot for a group of girls having a catch up. The atmosphere is buzzy and noisy with the sound of people enjoying themselves without any pretentiousness. Service is typically Chinese, in that it is brisk and functional without any subtlety or refinement. It isn't Hakkasan in style nor does it pretend to be. Instead Royal China just serves brilliant food in a lovely setting and it does this well.
