Chinese Restaurant Royal Garden

My wife and I had dinner in the Royal Garden this evening. It was fantastic. The lady who greeted us was very friendly and guided us through the options with perfect English. All her recommendations were brilliant. The crispy duck and pancakes were to die for, as were the prawns with ginger. I'm sure other choices were equally good. The wine was also excellent. The ambience was great and the service top class. The final piece of good news: the bill was very reasonable!

My husband and I arrived to Portugal today and found ourselves hungry around 10pm (we're 5 hours ahead) only to learn from our hotel that there aren't many restaurants that stay open late. We decided to venture to this area and almost had pizza, then my husband stumbled upon Royal Garden. The service was welcoming (staff speaks English, for those whose Portuguese is rough) and the food was super tasty. We got wonton soup, two different chicken dishes, prawn chow mein and jasmine rice. Everything was delicious and there was enough for us to take leftovers! Good food, good value. So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant.

What a charming restaurant. We came, 6 of us. Showed us a table. Then said choose what you like and I suggested another one. Then he proposed a solo table and even pulled out a chair to make us fully comfortable. We ordered and food was out in a jiffy. Wow, the food was excellent. The lady, Ashley, that served us had smiles all evening and only deserved 5 stars. You can see they serve you their heart on a plate. Cherry on the cake, porto on the house. Fantastic service. Superb

I don’t understand some comments about “this is not typical Chinese food” but as a guest from Taiwan I think I know what is “Chinese Food”. The food here is definitely typical Chinese food. Of course you will not expect the “luxury & fancy” Chinese food here but in my opinion they offer the kind of Chinese food which I eat in my home daily. And I am happy I find this good restaurant in town(I visited here everyday during my stay). The staff here are really helpful to lightly customize the food for my son (he has allergies and picky for food). Anyway, I truly recommend this place for you.

Delicious food, using fresh ingredients, good quality meats & veg and nicely presented. We got takeaway and couldn’t believe how good it was for a Chinese takeaway/Chinese home-cooking and in Portugal. Not oily, couldn’t taste MSG. We wouldn’t normally have Chinese overseas (we regularly eat & cook Chinese at home) but wanted some variety during our travels. Good value for money (€10 per person), egg fried rice only €1.50. Place accepts card as well which is a novelty in Luz.
