    Royal China is still the place in London to get high-quality, authentic dim sum at a reasonable price. The original branch in Queensway does a roaring trade on a Sunday. Read more

    Just the same as the other ones world wide. Go a little earlier to avoid long wait time and ask for password for the wifi! Staff as usual dim sum style people! I always enjoy the rice flour rolls

    The best Chinese restaurant in London. It is very popular especially at lunch time on weekends as that's when they serve Dim Sums. You should usually wait for 15 minutes but it is totally worth it!!😋

    Something I learned recently: dim sum is made only for lunch/brunch. So don't expect to find dim sum for dinner. 😬 Service is good, food is delicious. A bit on the expensive side though.

    In my opinion the best dim sum in London. Try all of the specials menu, full of things you won't find elsewhere and delicious. Come early on weekends as there is always a long queue.

    Great food, but there is always a queue on the weekends, right from opening at 11.30am- get there early and expect to wait. Don't get there starving!

    Arguably the nicest Chinese restaurant in Bayswater, with very reasonable prices and authentic Hong Kong style cuisine. Highly Recommend.

    Queues can be lengthy on Sunday mornings therefore buy a drink at the bar by the till and you won't get shoved around by the crowds ... Always worth the wait

    Do NOT come here with larger groups of people there are limited large tables and it means that at time like lunch or dinner you will have to wait over an hour to be sat at a table.

    So I asked them to put no mushrooms in my veggie noodles. They thoroughly wrote it down, and what I got was a plate of noodles with a triple portion of mushrooms covering it all...

    Food here used to be really good but has really really gone down hill. I recommend you find somewhere else for your meal. Presentation and food quality is poor.

    They charged us 5.60 each for rice with our dinner and never mentioned that... 11 pounds for two people to eat white rice???? Shouldn't that be mentioned or is it because I'm a tourist??
