Royal China Restaurant — Restaurant in Aberdeen City

Appetiser was genuinely inedible. Listed in the menu as "crispy lamb with a pungent soy and garlic dip" but what I found was a single cut of lamb donner that looked like it had been found under the fridge a month after being cooked. It managed to be both rock hard and rubbery at the same time. Quite an achievement I must confess. The dip wasn't a dip either. It was just soy sauce straight from the bottle. Just to be clear, the picture I have added of it to this review is the entire portion straight out of the box (although you may be forgiven for thinking it was leftovers from a kebab from several weeks ago).

The main course was "honey chilli chicken". Chicken was obviously out of the freezer and not freshly prepared and the sauce, while not awful, was very bland. The chips were clearly the cheapest-of-the-cheap frozen chips too. Really not worth anywhere near the £14.60 I was charged.

Won't stop me ordering again, I have faith please come back to the RC we...
