Royal China
Chinese restaurant · St Paul's Bay, Malta
Tucked away at 12 Triq Gorg Borg Olivier in St Paul’s Bay, Royal China has earned a loyal following among discerning diners with its authentic Chinese cuisine. The restaurant offers both à la carte and buffet options, with the latter priced at €17.50 per person, ensuring something for every palate. Diners consistently praise the freshness and flavour of dishes like sweet and sour chicken, which stands out as a particular favourite.
As Laura put it, "Easily the nicest sweet and sour chicken I’ve had. We were the only ones there when we ate, therefore they cooked just what we wanted rather than having the usual buffet."
The warm and inviting atmosphere is complemented by efficient service, making it a convenient choice for lunch or dinner throughout the week. With dine-in, takeaway, and delivery available, alongside reservations accepted and a well-curated wine and beer list, Royal China caters to a variety of dining needs. Its proximity to Il-Mitħna, just 97 metres away, also makes it a convenient stop for a culinary tour of the area.
