Review Richmond House Chinese Takeaway - Fort Augustus

As far as Chinese food goes, this was pretty good. We were slightly cautious given the prior poor reviews but our orders (which we mainly confined to noodle and rice dishes) were served fast and fragrant. At the beginning we did have our menus thrown onto the table by the wait staff which did raise some eyebrows, and accordingly knocking off a star. Lastly, the prices on the window menu did not reflect the actual prices in the restaurant - each item was around £3 more and the menu should be updated.

I don't understand why this restaurant got such bad reviews. If you are like me, I would read all reviews and decide who I am going to believe. We are Chinese from Australia and missed Chinese foods after embarking on a Great Britain and Ireland tour. However, we know how back home, we will never go to Chinese restaurants in country towns as they cater for the Caucasian palates. So, here we are in Fort Augustus after doing the Loch Ness cruise when we found out that almost every eating place is closed. Even the fish & chips restaurant which was highly recommended by our tour guide. Then, we saw this restaurant. We saw some other Chinese travellers from our tour dining in. We checked to see if the food is edible and they assured us that the food is good. We took away the hot & sour soup and beef chow mein. After days of pies & sandwiches, the lunch on the coach was the best meal! The hot & sour soup was very tasty & generous with ingredients. The beef chow mein had excellent 'wok hei' (fragrance of the wok). Give it go!

If you are looking for perfect Chinese flavor not the strange mix flavor. Then here is the right place for you. Never mind those 1 Star comments , cuze they don't know what is good .

Chinese restaurant with staff being able to speak Mandarin, Cantonese and English. The price is reasonably high given that it is next to The Loch (it is around 13 pounds for a dish of fried rice) Food quality is unexpectedly great which is comparable to those in HK. The spicy sour soup (7 pounds) is splendid, the spiciness and sourness is on the point. The fried rice well mix the sauce with the rice and the rice used is perfect for frying (soft one), yet the texture of the chicken might be a bit too dry. The vegetable (10 pounds) is average but still serve to soothe your mouth after tasting the tasty and spicy food, but I would say it is too pricey for an easy food.

Brilliant chiense big helpings tasty Salt pepper ribs Orange chicken King prawns and broccoli Chips and portion of egg fried rice.

I was initially hesitant because of some of the reviews but I'm glad I went ahead with it as I enjoyed the food a lot! Granted, I just had the fried rice but it was delicious! If I had a bit more time, I would've ordered more. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a terrific restaurant! Try this if you want Asian food in Fort Augustus! Been very worried about all the negative reviews about this place, but my Chinese food craving has overcome my fear - and that was my best decision for the day! I was looking for mapo tofu, my fav, but couldn't find it on the menu; however, they said they could cook it for us, yeay! We have unlocked a hidden gem indeed because it was delicious. Overall great experience! Do not expect a Michelin star experience, you won’t find it here; expect good Chinese food instead, and you’ll be surprised 🤩

This is good Chinese restaurant. Good atmosphere and polite and helpful staff. Portions are so big, we were stuffed and food was nice. Advice I would give to owners put food on bigger plates because food is falling of the present ones. We had good meal here.

As a Chinese I really think it's not bad at all. Be it the food or service, both are satisfying. They deserve better review.

Very traditional Chinese style restaurant, we have ordered four dishes and cost £50+, no service charge in this place, I have read some low reviews and I few some of them are not true, that's why I would like to left some comment for them.

Amazing food. Ordered a diner for 3 people end after 5 minutes I had my food on the table. On second day order for takeaway and it was ready in 5 minutes. Love this place

Just got back from a 4 night at Richmond house, staff very polite, esp the lady owner, sorry dont know her name, she helped with everything from cleaning to cooking to serving etc, place was very clean, room 7 was a tad small but extremely clean & fit for purpose, wasn't noisy either as was situated at the back of the property, had a bath & shower & a little mini fridge, couldn't fault the room as such, only let down was carpet in our room could do to be replaced with new flooring & although the price of room was cheaper than some others it would of been nice to of had the option of a breakfast at extra cost or added a small charge to the overall price for the room at time of booking but overall my partner & I loved it so much were talking bout going back next year, it's in a great little spot aswell, 😀 👍

Delicious food.. quick service, good outdoor seating. Tried vegetable chowmin, lemon chicken and mixed vegetable with garlic sauce. Everything was amazing.
