Rui Chinese Cuisine Bath

Avoid!! Food was terrible, cold and over priced and don’t answer the phone. Was delivered 2 hours late. See photo of the £24.50 crispy duck. Just Eats didn’t provide a refund

Ordered a delivery from Rui Chinese Cuisine for family gathering costing over £200 it was terrible especially the lemon chicken. We binned most of it, definitely one to avoid.

A group of came to the place at weekend. The food was good excellent. The service is friendly and fast. Very impressive. Will go there again. 5 stars definitely. Highly recommended.

This was not good. We were the only people in the restaurant. The quarter crispy duck starter which cost about £14 looked as if the duck had been put through the mincer and microwaved. We didn’t finish it, just paid for what we’d had and left to find another restaurant.

Truely authentic Chinese, excellent and a rare find. They offer two menus, one is chinglish dishes, more like cheap takeaway style; this probaby explains the poor reviews. The other is really authentic and delicious chinese food. For some reason they are reticent to offer the real food to non-chinese.

Rui is a traditional Szechuan Chinese restaurant catering for Chinese market in Bath… that said order from the Chinese menu… best dumplings, stir fried beef is absolutely delicious, steamed soy Bass amazing … egg fried rice lovely. Obviously from reviews duck is not their strong point, Great staff and always friendly. Family portions so seems expensive, but actually very reasonable. Check it!

My partner and I came to Rui for an anniversary dinner after a wonderful takeaway a few months ago, and we were equally as delighted by the delicious in-house meals and the friendly member of staff who served us. The choice of meals was enormous and everything on the menu looked incredible, we had such a hard time deciding what to eat — and what we did order was delivered in a very reasonable time, tasted amazing and came with very generous portions. The lotus root in particular was divine. Additionally, the server on staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We very much hope to return.

It is difficult to understand why this restaurant has had such poor reviews. We had a delicious meal of exactly the type of food you would find in Shanghai or North-east China. It was spicy and oily, which is probably not to English taste, but is completely authentic. Three us paid £27 each for 4 dishes, rice and Qingdao beer, which seems (to me at least) excellent value. The service was friendly and helpful. This is a different dining experience to sweet and sour and other Anglicised favourites one finds in most Chinese restaurants in Britain and should be celebrated and enjoyed rather than criticised.

Quite simply the worst Chinese meal I have ever eaten. Someone else commented on the “crispy” duck and I should have heeded the reviews first it was indeed like boiled minced unrecognisable fowl of some sort and cost about £25 for a supposedly “half “ duck. The other dishes were little better. Even the “fried” rice was boiled with some congealed egg mixed through. I just do not understand how such a restaurant can exist. The only bright note was a very good value bottle of Oyster Bay Sauvignon blanc. I have never written a review like this but would sincerely advise anyone to give this restaurant a miss.
