We want to love Royal China. Who doesn't want a great dim sum place on their doorstep for Sunday lunches? And though the food here is decent, it's not worth enduring the eye-wateringly bad service – totally absent one minute, then a whirlwind of plate clattering the next, and always rude and/or unhelpful. The room has no atmosphere, but by some strange acoustic trick, you can hear all conversations apart from your own. We won't be back.
