Royal China Club

Royal China has always been famous for its traditional Dim Sum. These delicately handmade little parcels of tasty delights originated from Canton in China. It is now recognized worldwide as a major Chinese Cuisine.

Lost emperor? Royal China Club | The Independent

The answer, as the thousands of people who regularly throng one of the Royal China's several restaurants around London will attest, is pretty damned good.

The Royal China group is widely considered to serve the best dim sum in London, and they don't take bookings for weekend lunchtimes; cue these scenes of fanatical dumpling-based devotion.

Just up Baker Street from the more famous branch, there's the Royal China Club, launched a couple of years ago as a more luxurious sister restaurant to the already upscale group.

34 Princess Street, Chinatown, Manchester 1 (0161 236 2200) Happy Gathering Cardiff's finest Chinese restaurant is consistently crowded with diners from as far away as Bristol queueing for the fresh seafood and excellent dim sum.

311-313 Hope Street, Glasgow (0141 332 7728) China Garden Vast Brighton restaurant on the seafront serving impressive dim sum during the day (make sure you try the scallop dumplings); during the evening the atmosphere gets smarter – and pricier.

Royal China Baker Street restaurant review 2012 August London ...

Sister to The Royal China in Queensway, the Baker Street branch is a touch larger, seating 200 at a time, yet has the identical black and gold lacquer decoration.

This branch is just down the road from Royal China Club, at 44 Baker Street, a somewhat posher take on the same food but with higher prices.

Gai lan, though, was a notch lower in standard than at the Queensway branch, the broccoli a little undercooked and with less garlic flavuor, though still very good (14/20).

One area where Baker Street outshines Queensway is in the service, which was efficient and quite friendly.

I felt that, overall, the Queensway branch had a slight edge on the food, the Baker Street one by contrast won on the service.

Royal China Queensway restaurant review 2016 March London ...

The décor of the Royal China in Queensway had been an unchanging fixture for many years, its distinctive gold and black lacquer room featuring in a scene in the excellent 2000 movie Sexy Beast.

The garnish for the prawns with cashew nut dish was a little different, but the dish was of the same standard.

Go either at lunch for dim sum (for which you cannot book) or for the evening meal (where booking is wise, as this is seriously popular with the Chinese community).

There are lots of great dishes, such as the divine steamed prawn dumpling with coriander, and you can supplement the dim sum choices with dishes from the evening menu.

From the vast evening menu, my favourites are the baby bak choi (if only most top French restaurants could cook vegetables this well), ultra tender steamed gai lan (Chinese broccoli), the Singapore noodles and the belly pork with stewed vegetables, which may sound odd but has remarkably tender meat.

Royal China Club - London Restaurant Reviews | Hardens

The Royal China group's first venture on this Marylebone site was a luxuriously minimalist Japanese restaurant called Michiaki.

Now they've turned it - essentially unchanged - into a sort of club-class Royal China.

Many readers will know that Royal China is widely regarded as the capital's leading Chinese chain, so you might have thought this would be a winning formula: superior cooking served, for once, minus the group's love-it-or-hate-it '70s-disco decor.

Results from the former seemed marginally superior, with seafood dishes (we ate next to a fair sized tank of lobsters) turning out to be the best bets.

In the time-honoured tradition of disastrous Chinese meals, we couldn't help wondering if results might have been better if we spoke the lingo: the large tables full of oriental folk seemed to be having a much better time than we were.

Royal China Club, review: A must-do for dumpling debonaires ...

If you’re one for indulging your dim sum addiction with a refined touch once in a while, then Royal China does dumplings with dedication, serving up a slick white-tableclothed version of Cantonese fare that is the most popular form of Chinese cooking in the UK.

From decadently deep fried to crystal clear and delicate, Royal China’s dim sum menu is a cornucopia of treats, dutifully wrapped in all shapes and sizes.

You can keep it classic with pan-fried gyozas and spring rolls or venture outside the box with honey roast pork puffs and turnip cake, or fans of London’s bao craze can get a bitesize hit with Royal China’s fluffy chicken and mushroom buns.

If you’re dead set on dim sum, then remember that Royal China only serve their dumpling menu at lunch, as is traditional – asking for a dim sum in the evening is a bit like requesting a ham sandwich for dinner.

Be prepared to get there before you’re actually hungry and wait – Royal China’s dumplings attracted quite a crowd.

Matthew Norman reviews Royal China Club, London W1 | Travel ...

Royal China, an upmarket and gaudy London chain, recently opened a branch in Shanghai - quite a surprise for a company based in Neasden.

Budgetary constraints being the dispiriting dullards they are, any request to review it seemed unworthy of the breath needed to voice it, so instead I have been to the newest domestic venture, which is so close to an existing branch that you wonder whether, not content with taking spring rolls to Shanghai, the owners hope to rival Sherlock Holmes and Gerry Rafferty as the word-association game auto-response to the question "Baker Street?"

Since no membership is even available, this styling is evidently a cunning ruse to imply a level of exclusivity beyond even that offered by the flagship in nearby Bayswater, long regarded by many as the best dim sum joint in town.

Here the staff were so sweet, attentive and eager to advise about food, wine and the dozens of different teas (an idea nicked from Yauatcha), it seemed there was nothing they wouldn't have done for us.

After we'd kicked off with two portions of the familiar - fabulous crispy roast duck and sweet, succulent pork belly - things took a turn for the recherché, albeit not in the traditionally gruesome dim sum manner (those dishes at the back of the menu they never bother translating for non-Chinese customers: crow's feet braised in radioactive rainwater, gizzard of syphilitic mountain yak, that sort of thing).

The poshest branch of this high-end mini-chain, Royal China Club puts a premium spin on even the humblest of dim sum, making you feel like royalty.

The ‘club’ in the name makes RCC sound like a members-only section of the Royal China Group, which isn’t far from the truth.

At lunchtime, dim sum includes the signature cheung fun, which here comes filled with velvety dover sole and smooth pieces of scallop – all sitting in a puddle of sweet, smoky sauce.

Even simple noodle dishes are elevated to premium status: our steak ho fun noodles were smothered in a dark, soy-laced sauce full of umami savouriness, heaped with expertly judged slices of medium-rare sirloin, and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
