The original Royal China Club on Baker Street is a restaurant that many people get a little misty-eyed about. It’s an institution where the chili oil or hoisin-stained white tablecloths can bring back all kinds of memories, and the lengthy dim sum menu is legendary for good reason. It ranges from the familiar (prawn cheung fun) to the fancy (crispy rolls with scallops and foie gras), and it can easily add up to West London club prices. That said, this is a club where everyone’s welcome and has a good time. You won’t find the extensive dim sum list past 4:30 p.m., but there’s a page-long evening dim sum list including a steamed seafood platter and some deep-fried options.
