Ok. So first of all, the food is really good. If someone is complaining that food is fatty, its because chinese food is fatty. C'mon. I had really tasty and good priced food. Staff its not very nice but i understand its more cultural think than just being rude. If you want go on a romantic date i think its not the best place :p but dinner with familly or friends here seems good idea. Its cheap as for chinatown.
Not a bad candidate for a quick lunch if you are craving Cantonese food and happen to be in this neighbourhood. We ordered wonton noodle soup, roast duck with rice and beef ho fen. They delivered food very quickly and the flavour of food is okay. The roast duck is bit sweet and will suit people with sweet tooth better. The price is fair for the items we got as well. All in all, I will call it a safe choice if you cannot come up with other lunch ideas.
The service was great from the team ( young man and the lady which took our order down stairs , the place is very clean and the food was testy and delicious 😋, my kids and I and even my sister family which they were my guest at this place enjoyed their food , we orde different dishes but I love the King Prawn with Cashew Nuts (order number 103), I recommend this place and we will come again , thanks 🙏
I went here after seeing some other low value ratings on restaurants I've been to.
I did get this mixed up with Royal Court which Google proclaimed to be at the same location... So lucky for Ruyi.
Honestly, the second best prawn toast I've ever had. The best curry sauce in London and pretty damn good rice and salt & pepper chicken.
The staff were accommodating and while there was no table immediately, it was a pleasant wait where my order was even sent to the kitchen so I didn't have to wait long.
The food was fresh and hot.
I did see some frozen stuff going on, but I didn't get that.
I believe some other reviews could be for other properties or people with an axe to grind.
I was very happy with my experience.
Best roast duck I've ever had! 😍💪
I had a half duck just for 17 pounds! It was delicious!
Love this restaurant in the heart of Chinatown. I was shocked to see the rating because I come here often and the food quality is fantastic every time. Ordered crispy fried noodles with prawn - exactly like the Hong Kong dish it's taken from.
Salt & pepper squid is a large portion definitely for sharing, fresh and delicious.
Singapore style vermicelli noodles - fantastic and large portion
Steamed lotus buns - served steaming hot, soft and fresh.
Chicken with ginger & onion - good portion and very tasty.
Overall the food was great and the price was fair.
Maybe staff aren't as friendly as you'd like but our waiter did his job and had a little chat with us. We were happy with the service though I wouldn't rave about it.
Food is rave worthy though!
In contrast with a lot of reviews, I had a very good experience here. We ordered the set menu for two and were served very quickly. Our food was lovely and we felt that it was good value for money, as there was heaps of it! The atmosphere left something to be desired, but we enjoyed our meal nonetheless.
Went for lunch with children, thoroughly enjoyed by all. We usually visit the Golden Dragon but the queue was very long so opted for Ruyi instead and we wasn't disappointed all the dishes were tasty, hot and plentyful! The crispy duck and crispy chilli beef were our favourites, probably the best we've ever had from anywhere. Will definitely visit again😀
Was looking for a place to eat in Chinatown last week and came across Ruyi. It was incredibly priced for set menus and had space to sit outside so despite the reviews thought we'd give it a go! Can honestly say - incredible! The food was delicious, came out quickly, was hot off the grill and had excellent portion sizes. The team were also very accommodating and always checked on us to make sure everything was OK. Would recommend Ruyi to anyone who wants excellent food for a good price in Chinatown. We'll definitely be back!
Amazing food. We were in a hurry before the theater show and couldn't eat everything that was served. And even if we had enough time, I think we still couldn't have eaten it all because it was too much.
