Royal China (harrow-on-the-hill)

One of the better Chinese restaurant. Great food and good selection of dishes. Lobster noodle is mmmmm delicious. Highly recommend.

The manager accommodated us on a busy Saturday evening despite having limited tables. The food and service were excellent as usual with my childhood favourite crispy noodles with chicken hitting the spot. Surprisingly it wasn't particularly expensive either. They serve all the traditional Cantonese foods but also cater for those who aren't used to certain foods. The restaurant and toilets probably need a slight freshening up but I still enjoy coming here.

I am a regular take away customer and have been using them at least once a month for many years. Unfortunately, since the turn of the year, portions are now significantly smaller and now most dishes (apart from rice dishes) barely half fill a small Chinese container. Worse still, the Char-Sui pork, an old family favourite is now repeatedly over-cooked and getting smaller with each delivery. With the meal this evening the Char-Sui pork has been mainly untouched and is being left for our dog who, thankfully still seems very keen on it. Unfortunately, neither our dog nor us really touched the beef Ho-Fun noodles, as the beef was completely over-cooked and the dish had large clumps of white (unmixed) flat noodles, very poor. One clump of white noodles took up half the Chinese container and really should have been spotted and rectified by the chef. With dishes costing between £12-15 each, Royal China still charge a premium compared to the regular Chinese takeaways in our area; but with standards falling and portion sizes halving I suspect that better value and tastier dishes can now be found pretty much anywhere else. It is a shame when a long standing restaurant comprises on its food quality and I hope Royal China read this review and address issues of food quality especially with the evening chefs, as frankly some of dishes I received today should never have been sent.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Golden Chinese in Harrow, and I must say it was a delightful experience. The chef at this restaurant has truly mastered the art of creating mouthwatering dim sums that are simply finger-licking good, especially their supreme vegetarian option. The flavors were exquisite, and each bite was a delightful blend of textures and spices. During my visit, our group was lucky to have the assistance of a waiter named Wendy, who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Her attentive and friendly nature made us feel welcome, and she was particularly helpful to one of our members who spoke Chinese. Wendy's ability to bridge the language barrier and provide excellent service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. Moving on to dessert, I must admit that the mango dish was just alright. While it was satisfying, it didn't quite reach the same level of excellence as the dim sums. Nonetheless, it provided a refreshing end to the meal. Overall, Golden Chinese in Harrow is a restaurant that truly stands out for its outstanding dim sums and the remarkable skills of its chef. The presence of Wendy as our waiter, with her exceptional assistance, further enhanced our dining experience. If you're a fan of flavorful dim sums, this restaurant should definitely be on your list of places to visit.

I bought a whole duck is not really good, skin separated from the flesh, and some parts of the duck look very strange seem like put them together. last week I bought a half and think it was so delicious, today I came to the restaurant again by train spent half hour, but disappointed…
