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

Usually great, food is 5/5 but lacking on the service side. Recently took 2 and a half hours to…read moredeliver my order, have emailed complaining and asked for a refund but they haven't replied.

Chop Chop has the best Chinese food I've tasted in a long time. I tried the mini vegetarian spring…read morerolls, the sweet and sour chicken balls, and the mixed vegetable chow mein. My friend got the prawn fried rice and another order of the mixed vegetable chow mein. The spring rolls were crispy and delicious. The sweet and sour chicken was absolutely lovely-the pieces were big, and the quality of the white meat was incredible, far better than anything I'd ever gotten from a Chinese restaurant before. I haven't eaten much of the chow mein, but the couple bites I've managed before I found myself too full tasted yummy. There's free delivery after 5pm with orders over £13, and even though they gave us a delivery estimate of 44 minutes, the food was at our door within 25 minutes. They also gave us a bag of free prawn crackers (because we spent over £15), which my friend loved. She also said that the prawn fried rice was absolutely filled with prawns; at least one for every bite. Would definitely order food from Chop Chop again-but be sure to ask for soy sauce and chopsticks if you want them, because they didn't give us any!

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.

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!
