Royal China is known both in Shanghai and London for its dim sum. It's a gawdy affair, with gold-colored pizza shapes stuck to the walls on the eight floor of a mall, but is consistently and fully packed for its roast pork and goose, steamed shrimp dumplings, coconut "snow buns", crispy duck with flour wraps, egg tarts, fried radish cake... Expect at least a 15-minute wait, and longer for parties of 4 or more. At dinner, it's a good Cantonese restaurant but decidedly less crowded.
