Regal Chinese - Wellington

If you want to experience dining out in China, Regal is the place to visit. More and more locals are discovering it, but the restaurant remains committed to authentic Chinese cuisine. I highly recommend giving it a try. If you're not very familiar with Chinese food, I suggest bringing someone along who can assist you with the menu selection.

I visited for yum cha on a Monday, and it was quite peaceful. The staff were very attentive and took the time to explain each dish for the benefit of the non-Asian members in our group. The food was delightful, with a fantastic variety compared to other places I've tried in New Zealand, all at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed all the classics—har gow, siu mai, egg tarts, and rice noodles—plus a special shoutout to the mango pudding, which we inadvertently ordered twice, but we have no regrets! I will definitely be returning!

Have been here a few times now you Yum Char and really have to say every time we have been there it has been an enjoyable experience. <br/ <br/ For those who have not experienced Yum Char it is a traditional Chinese Brunch/Lunch where waiters come to your table at various times throughout your meal with different dishes and you get to choose whether you would like it or not.<br/ <br/ Some of out favourite dishes at Regal have to be the Spring Rolls, all the different types of chinese dumplings (Har Gow, Xiao Long Bao, Sho Mai to name a few), Crispy fried squid and chicken wings.<br/ <br/ If you are feeling really adventurous give the Chickens feet a try. Flavour is really nice but it is really boney.<br/ <br/ Staff are usually quite attentive but on some really busy days if you have not planned well and ordered enough for the table you may be sitting there for a little while with nothing to eat while you are waiting for the waiters to come back around.<br/ <br/ Pricing is also reasonable and you always leave feeling full and ready for a afternoon nap.<br/ <br/ Would highly recommend Regal's Yum Char not just for the food but also for an authentic Chinese experience right in the heart of Wellington.<br/ <br/ Food 8/10<br/ <br/ Staff 7/10<br/ <br/ Ambiance 9/10<br/ <br/ Price 8/10<br/ <br/ Would I Return Definitely

Is my go to place for yum char. Would strongly recommend. I haven’t been for dinner but heard it’s equally as good, ambience is a bit quiet but nice for a change

It has been our go-to restaurant for any family occasion. My children have very fond memories of the place and the food. Apart from the awesome yum cha, yang chow fried rice and rice porridge definitely give the claypot fish a try! Lately, new owners have taken over the place and it seems luke they’re a tad impersonal and the place seems to have lost the family friendly vibe a bit.
