Quick info
About Royal Garden Chinese Restaurant
Royal Garden Chinese Restaurant serves Chinese food at Point House in Attleborough, in a large older building with tables set beneath lanterns hung from the ceiling, alongside a laisee tree and a lion's head on display. Dining options span an a la carte menu, a set menu that pairs a starter platter with duck and pancakes, and an eat-as-much-as-you-like buffet. Telephone and takeaway orders run alongside dine-in service, and the restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations. It opens Monday to Sunday except Tuesdays, when it is closed. For Chinese New Year, the restaurant can host a lion dance event, arranged through advance booking. The premises will be temporarily closed from 20 July to 22 August 2025.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the Chinese food itself, with several calling it the best in the region and one saying it is always fresh and spot on. The set menu's starter platter and the duck with pancakes get specific praise for generous portions, and the eat-as-much-as-you-like buffet is described as good quality at a reasonable price. Staff manner is the recurring complaint. A few describe servers who rarely smile, gather at the bar and seem to be watching for diners to finish, while others find them friendly. One says it was hard to get a server's attention, and another waited a long gap between courses with several tables still waiting. Takeaway reviews split sharply. One reports dry noodles and rice and burnt chicken balls, another found the Ma-Po Tofu westernized and sweet with tiny, hollow vegetable spring rolls, and one who ordered four individual meal B sets received only enough for two.

“Won’t visit again - spent a lot of money on a takeaway and the food was terrible. Noodles were dry, rice was dry, no flavour, chicken balls were burnt. Worst food. Staff also need to cheer up a little. Don’t work in a hospitality if you cant smile.”
- Karen Nolan
“Food was good, it was hard to get servers attention at times, nice place. Enjoyed the food”
- James Thompson
“Ordered 4 separately meal B but unfortunately it became a free for all as only enough food for 2 people. We ordered individual meals an d feel ripped off for the value for money. However what we had was very nice .”
- Bijan Beigi
“We have always enjoyed eating there. Most Probably the best Chinese cuisine in this region. Reasonable price for what you get.”
- John
“Consistently the best Chinese food in Norfolk for all the years that I've lived here, having previously lived in a big metropolis. Nothing in norwich comes close. I occasionally had a drink that could have been colder, but that's all the complaints I have.”
