I have eaten in many of what are described as London's finest Chinese restaurants and the Royal Inn is at least as good as anything I have eaten in London. Although "hidden" from the main shops on the high street in Longport it is in fact only a five minute walk from the high street and I would personally rate this as one if not the best restaurants in Canterbury.

Recently tried dinning in this local restaurant as review seems not bad…read more Ordered a Sweet and Sour fried chicken ball and Seafood Udan. When dishes arrived, portion not big, smaller then usual takeaway portion. Chicken ball size normal, however, I could only find a little tiny tiny probably a chicken meat inside this so called Chicken Ball. Seafood Udan was really unbelievable. Only few little cube of vegetarian crab stick in this so called Seafood dish. No prawn, no shrimp, no any kind of real seafood. Extremely disappointed. Absolutely not worth and never go again

Lovely place. It's quite a large restaurant, and often busy…read more I used to live just up the street, and often ordered food from here. The staff usually let me have Tsing Tao beer to take away too, which was ideal. All you can eat is offered when you're eating in, but I found the portions generous enough that I only ordered one meal anyway.

I have to say that my one experience with cafe de China was most unpleasant. I like oriental food…read moreat its best (or even when mediocre) but the food we experienced here was not merely tasteless, it was positively GRIM! The service was obliging but rushed and food was 'slapped down' as if there were an Olympic medal in line for the fastest waitress. I like prompt service but I'm not keen on having the plate snatched away as I am still chewing the last mouthful! As you will have gleaned, I ate the food - I'm a hungry chap - but that doesn't mean that I enjoyed it! Having said that, I guess it is a good place to take hungry and non-discriminatory teenagers. It should keep them quiet for a few minutes and recahrge their energy cells for a couple of hours. Just don't expect to enjoy it yourself if you like good food.

I went to express lunch and tastes pretty good. Most of Chinese restaurants are not that stylish, but this one has really good sence of decor. If you want to have a bit more fashionable chinese meal, this place is good for you!

This Chinese is really yummy, but i think its actually quite expensive. Chinese food i usually find…read morequite a decent price but this one i find a bit over the top. Don't get me wrong, it is really yummy..just expensive yummy! The wine is nice and the atmosphere is ok and the service is good. Average Chinese but £££ to be taken.

My partner, son and I had a lovely all you can eat buffet at lunchtime and thoroughly enjoyed it…read more Although the choice is limited at lunchtime for the buffet, all the usual favourites are included, sweet and sour pork, chicken chowmein, pancake rolls, chop suey, egg fried rice. The white wine we chose was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean, white tablecloths and flowers. The waitress was very friendly and food good quality.

DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE NOT GOOD WITH SICK…read moreSTORIES.......................................................................I was SO ill after visiting this establishment. I ate some duck which to be honest at the time of eating i thought was somewhat greasy. Later on my partner at the time took me home and i told him i felt unwell. We put it down to wine and too much to eat. We went to bed, and after a few hours of sleeping i woke up in cold sweats. I felt terrible. Pure Agony as i sat on the side of the bed with stomach cramps. I laid back down and must have fallen back to sleep becasue the next thing i knew i was being sick all over my pillow and partner. Needless to say he was less than impressed and changed the bed for us. I was unable to work and was taken to the doctor. My doctor put it down to food poisening. In reality i should have done something about it but i didn't. I will NOT be returning there and it has put me of duck for a while. While this was not a good experience, the staff were efficient and very welcoming. Shame, as it could've been a one off.I won't be returning to find out however!
