Royal China - HARROW

Visited Royal China, Harrow 14th July, apart from no table linen, food was really tasty and was happy to return which we did 22nd August, did we walk into a different restaurant? The service was awful, i have never been a Chinese restaurant where you do not get complimentary prawn crackers, even when ordering a take away you always get prawn crackers on the house. Sad to say that Royal China have dispensed with that tradition, we got charged for prawn crackers. The food this time round was dreadful, luke warm, bland, the shredded crispy beef was shredded chewy beef, no birds nest as advertised. What a public display of penny-pinching, it was truly pitiful, charge for prawn crackers, no table linen, not even a napkin, only a small paper thing. One has to ask, if they are penny-pinching in public, what penny-pinching are we not seeing? one can only speculate, could explain only being awarded a 4 on the green sticker???? We shall give this place a wide berth.

They charged us almost 8£ for that : we ordered via uber : was cold and without taste, I do not recommend.

They managed to find the smallest plates on market to buy so they can serve the mains. We paid 75 pounds for white rice and tea and for that reason- its hard to justify to ever plan to have our dinner there ever again.

Ordered a takeaway on New Year's Eve. Lousy service. It took about an extra hour on top of the allocated time. Kept extending the time by 10mins and 10 mins and 10mins........When finally collected the order, half was warm and another half hottish The prices were extortionist and the portion size was reduced to less than two-thirds full. Not impressed and would never go there again, Very Disappointed.

Excellent Chinese food, especially the dim sum. This place has been consistently excellent over the years, great to see it hasn’t changed!
