Been coming for all our special occasion. Lovely food and we had a last minute guest and the staff was still able to accommodate.... thank you!
Poor service, average food and no ambiance. Staff worked hard and were pleasant.
A very enjoyable evening, and reasonably priced. We were impressed by the attentive and friendly service and the quality of the food. Recommended!
Great restaurant and great service. No faults as always. Thank you
Worst Chinese restaurant in east london - will never go back there again - one word. -useless staff and food
Excellent service. They didn’t mind that a couple of people on our table were going to be late. Food was excellent except for the bbq sauce which was thick and lumpy but as I said to my guest ‘who orders bbq sauce in a Chinese restaurant?’
Very nice night excellent service with good food we would recommend this restaurant . Child friendly I would advise booking as always very busy prices very reasonable.
Lovely food been many of times and always had great food and service. Have recommended to lots of people Who also would recommend. Can not fault the place In any way
The food was something really special. We had a whole variety and the Peking duck and pancake was honestly the best I have had. The waiters were on point and timely perhaps because we arrived @ 8:45 pm on Sunday and they weren’t to busy.. Only thing they could perhaps work on is their toiletry facilities because there wasn’t a changing table or facility to change my one year old son.
We went for CNY dinner and the restaurant was rather empty. Food was great and service was excellent. The view of the river was also amazing.
The Riverview is a great restaurant, built upon great food, and great views of London. We have been going to the restaurant for years, and never had a bad experience. The staff are friendly, and for a restaurant with the quality of food that this place has, would thoroughly recommend.
Great little restaurant in central London location. The food is nicely prepared and really tickles your taste buds. Recommended to all!
Superb food in a wonderful setting on the Thames. Excellent service and a first class menu. Highly recommended. We have been coming here for 25 years.
The food and service are both amazing!! We go their all the time for family meals and can cater very well to bigger parties! Highly recommended!
Great food. Friendly welcoming staff with a great view of the Thames. Definitely would recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Set menu was delicious.
We have a lovely meal, the food was very good and good value, the staff were polite friendly and helpful. We will be returning soon.
Make you feel very welcome and I feel like you’re friends with them Always friendly and lovely staff Food is great and very clean place
This place is great, food is always amazing. Even when they are busy, service is great. Best Chinese restaurant in London. Thanks again, see you soon

Great atmosphere. Good service. Delicious food decent portions . Good drink top ups and no delays with bringing the courses. Would recommend to anyone. Great for family or couples.
Very good food and service,roast duck as starter was delicious followed by king prawn Po special fried rice, noodles, capital ribs and chicken with mushroom complimented by a very nice Rose wine, we will definitely rebook again !! GP
Riverside Restaurant in Wapping is in a superb riverside location, a relaxed, informal, but high quality family -run restaurant with attentive and personal service. Oh, and the food is superb!
Very friendly service and excellent food! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Great food and service as always wouldn’t go anywhere else
Expensive, but lovely food. Really enjoyed the evening, would highly recommend this place. We ordered 4 rice, which came in 1 bowl, and that was about £18, which is lumpy for rice! But all in all enjoyed it a lot.
Lovely location, good service. Food was pretty standard, and would have benefitted for a touch more salt, or an addictive such as soy sauce for dumplings.
Food and service great as usual. Anybody looking for a Chinese in London should go here, food always spot on (been going for over ten years now). Great value when comparing to others in the area.
Been to River View a number of times and never disappointed the food is excellent the service and staff are excellent. In the summer you can sit outside over looking the Thames that’s why I keep going back.
We were disappointed with the service from the kitchen. It was a busy evening with a large number of waiters and waitresses serving many tables. Not every able was in use though. The time interval between courses was too long. After two hours we were only just being served part of our main course. Very disappointing as we have been going to this restaurant for over 25 years. It was all blamed on it being Chinese New Year. Not exactly a surprise given the date.
This is not my first time at river view I always have a great time and love the food always delicious and great portions sizes big thumbs up. 👍🏻
We go there once a month. The food is first class every time. Very fresh and not at all greasy. Always very busy but service is always good.
The food & the service was very good. In terms of pricing, it is affordable. I would recommend the Restaurant definitely for anyone, who would like to enjoy a nice quiet comfortable evening.
The service was really good, fast and discreet. Quality seafood and not too expensive, it made an average evening into a very memorable experience. Recommended!
Staff very helpful food really good would recommend this restaurant to friends and family definitely will be going back to this restaurant very soon top marks
Very good, staff attentive without being obsequious, food very good, flavorsome and delicious, surrounding comfortable and interesting, with lovely sunset views over the Thames, and all at a reasonable cost.
Excellent food, superb location and views and first class service. It is always a pleasurable experience dining at Riverview with the experience starting with a friendly and warm welcome
Great food, great location and ambience, very friendly and helpful staff. I recommend the 'early bird' menu from 6-8pm, get there early and enjoy the same great food at reduced prices. Highly recommended.
Great food, service good and lovely view. The only downside was it was rather full of young children on a Monday evening but that's not the restaurants fault.
Great location, staff really friendly, was busy and food excellent, second time going here and won't leave it so long until our next visit worth a try
What a little gem! Amazing food and service in the nice quiet area of Wapping. Just get the train to Shadwell or walk along Thames river from Tower Bridge station. We'll be back!
Excellent service and very good choice of food. Will visit this restaurant again soon. Lovely view of the River Thames and easily accessible by public transport.
Restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the waiting staff are very attentive. The food was very good. I will go back to this restaurant in the summer months to sit outside by the river.
Having not been to the restaurant for some years was very pleased that the whole experience was as good as ever It's great that a restaurant maintains such a high standard.
Had a lovely evening with my partner at this restaurant ,nice and relaxed with great views of the river ,food was faultless with polite & attentive staff,will be returning again
perfect location easy to get to from Tower Pier. The staff were very attentive and polite. The food was lovely, order a set menu but were able to change some of the items. Lovely bottle of White House wine.
Another great evening at the riverview Chinese restaurant wapping, food and service was brilliant. Looking forward to the next time that we dine there cannot fault the place
Service excellent. wine list excellent and reasonably placed. Menu varied and food delicious and table on the river on a sunlet evening made the evening perfection itself
One of our favourite restaurants, good quality food, extremely friendly and attentive staff, lovely location and kids can play on the beach if the tide is low!
If this is your local chinese its ok, but dont bother to travel any distance to eat there, no atmosphere as such - went on a Friday night half empty. Food not memorable - although lobster in ginger good. Cant reconcile chicken breast in crispy coating with mustard sauce (which was actually english mustard from a jar) as being in anyway Chinese. Food quite expense for what it is. Staff fine and service good. Dont know if it was the weather but dont believe all the hype about a river view setting the location is nothing to write home about.
