Visited Royal China Restaurant for the first time recently, as my wife love the food and she didnt go there for a while.I may say that it reach expectations with the exception of the Mixed Meat E-Fu noodles and the Wonton Noodle Soup both a bit plain with no flavour.Ambiance was nice and peaceful, I may say I am quite sad that for a such restaurant with quality food it was empty, however we also visited quite early.I will definitely be back especially for the Crispy Baby Calamari!

A bit disappointed. We only had dim sum. The Xiao Long Bao skin is thick and there’s no more soup inside. The beef rice roll has no beef taste. The spicy dumpling is the most disappointing dish. Skin is thick and the sauce is less than moderate. Shrimp Har Gaw is the only dish which has a pass.Other than that, the decor is obviously very nice.

DISCLAIMER: ordered on deliveroo, did not dine in restaurant.Firstly i have to mention how impressive it was that this DIFC restaurant managed to deliver all the way to Marina in time and with all the items kept warm even in cardboard packaging!The food was faultless and I am always looking for some feedback for improvement to suggest. The crispy aromatic duck was crispy and spiced to perfection and delivered perfectly shredded and warm. The pancakes were of the perfect consistency and had sheets placed in between them so that they dont stick together. All the condiments that accompanied were great.The shrimp and duck rice cooked in a lotus leaf was excellent and flavorsome.The beef cooked in pepper sauce was also great, as was the noodle.A star condiment for me was the house made garlic chili oil which i have literally kept as a leftover in my fridge to add to everything because its so good.I have NO COMPLAINTS, except that they forgot to send chopsticks but did send cutlery!I must note it is on the pricier side, however its top quality ingredients as well as generous portions.WILL DEFINITELY ORDER AGAIN. This was great quality overall let alone delivered to my door!

I found this restaurant by mistake I was walking and I got hungry. I went too in the first resturant in front of me. It is the best mistake. I have ordered the duck with pancake, diced veal with Teriyaki sauce and chicken fried rice. The food was delicious and the meat was so tinder which melt in your mouth. I am addicted.

Royal China was recommended to me by a friend as one of the best Chinese in town. So had to try it and heres my take.Parking is available but a little tricky to find the restaurant once parked.Place is clean and decor was good. The service was okey except for the fact that no one was checking if we needed anything or if everything was good.We move on the most important part. The food. The dim sum was really good and I think the popular dish in this restaurant. The noodles was fine but nothing to remember so as the other dishes like the minced beef or spring roll.Price wise it was more than fare.Would I come again. I think Dubai has no shortage of better Chinese restaurants.

One of the best authentic Hong Kong style Chinese restaurants in UAE. Great service with great food. A must for those who love Chinese dim sum. With both outdoor and indoor dinning space.

Very displeased with the restaurant after all the good reviews.Food was mediocre at best.Took 30 min to get half of our mains and rice and then the other half after an hour.Service was extremely slow and too friendly.I’m very disappointed.

Review №12

Terrible experience. I used to come here allThe time when it was under previous management/ now it has changed. The hostess is rude and thinks she is a god. The waiters are slow and do not ever take orders correctly. They take about 20 minutes to give even drinks. They are all so rude and obnoxious terrible experience I hate it here.

Review №13

Starters were really good. Had the spring rolls and hot and sour soup, and ordered the dumplings which were amazing. The main courses were 50/50. The black pepper beef had an odd taste and didn’t taste like genuine Chinese cuisine. Wouldn’t recommend. Tried their spicy shrimp, which was good but had way too much garlic. Their noodles were amazing and so was the fried rice. They’ve got a nice selection of drinks too

Part of a global brand offering authentic Cantonese/Hong Kong cuisine thats not easy to find elsewhere in Dubai. The food quality is excellent and up to the standard and technique of the other global branches.If youre into great Cantonese food, youll see some classic dishes here including dim sum, rice flour rolls (Cheung fun), Cantonese roast duck and mango pudding. The menu is best suited for sharing, although they have a business lunch menu offering a good deal per person.Its definitely a place to find some great tasting food or grab a piece of Hong Kong in Dubai (especially for those who miss the flavours of some classic Hong Kong dishes).

An award-winning fine dining Chinese restaurant located in the heart of Dubai, Royal China has an atmosphere and menu perfect for any classy occasion. With a traditional red interior and a prime location within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the surroundings are grand and food is equally impressive.You’ll feel like you’ve entered into a restaurant in Hong Kong, as steaming plates of flavoursome signature dishes are promptly delivered to your table. You can choose from a set menu featuring a variety of delightful recipes. Try the dim sum and duck pancakes for starters.The renowned crispy aromatic duck has a reputation for being among the best in the city. The special dim sum specialities include long buns, coconut milk and pumpkin balls. Move on to hearty meals with seafood, meat and vegetable dishes for mains. Finish the night with one of the delectable dessert choices. Royal China also allows private dining for personal occasions.

Highly recommended to visit this restaurant if you’re craving from Dim Sum cuisine . The dim sum is well prepared fresh daily by very experienced Head Chef Chen from China 🇨🇳 Guangdong province and his team. Chef Chen humbly hospitality service giving me the experiences of comfortably enjoy my meal in the restaurant. Big thumb up to him . Nevertheless , thanks to the extremely friendly and welcomed Miss Pattra for her services today . I am looking forward to visit there again with friends .

Delicious food and beautiful ambience. They also have green (artificial though) outdoor sitting area. Located in DIFC close to the metro. The prices are quite high though and you can consider it as a luxury dining venue. It is red and royal indoor so go smart/elegant before visiting this restaurant 👔👗👠I do rate is 5 ⭐️ as regardless of the prices the food is delicious and I love their lotus roots and dumplings 🥟 So whatever you pay it is worth it ;)P.S. They do serve 🍷

My worst restaurant’s experience in Dubai! The food is decent but the service is horrible. They couldn’t careless about your feedback, There was a mistake on our bill which we seek a clarification from the restaurant, they insisted how the bill was right till it proved from the menu that it was their own fault, didn’t hear an apology.

Review №34

Have been a big fan of the food at this chain from London...the difference being that while the food is just as good, the service in Dubai is exponentially better than functional service at either Baker Street or Canary Wharf.

Review №35

Quite possibly my favorite restaurant in or out of the UAE. Excellent food. Their dim sum is brilliant. My family loves their har gao and I favor the siu mai. My husband is positively obsessed with the prawn toast/cigars. The location is a little out of the way but its definitely worth it. Also I highly recommend going on Yum Cha (offer) days that are held on Friday and Saturday. Also definitely call beforehand if you intend on going because it gets full fast. Weve been going a couple of times a year and today the waiter remembered us! It blew my mind he remembered us because how many new faces does he see on a daily basis? Anyway I already want to go back.

Pleasant restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Front desk staff were unaware of our booking despite reconfirming it and when we arrived we were seated inside and our friends outside until we messaged one another and became aware we were both there.Besides this hiccup, the service was good with attentive staff. The food was reasonable and the dumplings were the best thing on the menu. Ok for a quiet night out.

Ordered because I love authentic Chinese food. The food was very good but... Hadnt had chickens feet with black bean and chili in years and their appetizer of 2 1/2 feet was kind of insulting...there was only one slice of chili and the dish was no where around the representative photo.

Very good food. But the service was not good.We ordered on the same time and our food didnt come on time. We had finished all our food and some of it still hadnt come for others. Waiter was also a bit disrespectful not even checking on us if everything is okay or not, if our food is here or not.

First, you need to know this restaurant is not cheap, but rather on the high end price wise.Order was placed for dinner through a delivery platform at 6:40 and was supposed to be delivered within 45min.Restaurant changed delivery time to 8pm without any notice or informing us.I called the restaurant at 8:15 and didnt get any form or apology from the hostess who bluntly said the order was already picked up by the delivery app driver and I should contact them if I had any issue as they were not responsible (when the app indicated it was delivered by the restaurant itself...).Food finally arrived at 8:35pm by the restaurants driver (so the hostess did indeed lie to me) so almost 2hs after ordering. Cherry on top of the cake: the food was cold and tasteless.Definitely wont ever order again.Most overrated Asian restaurant in Dubai.

The Cantonese style duck was good. The steamed king prawn was tasty. However, their stir-fry mixed vegetables was not very good. It did not taste stir fried, rather looks more steamed than anything. Plain. The egg plant and minced chicken casserole was horrible. All i taste was vinegar and spicy. Would come back, but just for the Cantonese duck. Nothing else.
