About Royal Kitchen

The Royal Kitchen is a well-known Hawaiian spot famous for its baked manapua, especially the baked char siu, lup chong, and Portuguese sausage variations. Customers enjoy the fresh, hot dim sum, which is perfect for a quick snack or meal. The restaurant has friendly service and convenient hours, making it a good stop before an early flight. Many people recommend their baked char sui bau and pork hash as comfort foods.

Located along the river in the Chinese Cultural Plaza, Royal Kitchen is a small takeout place with no indoor seating, but outdoor seating is available nearby. Parking in the plaza’s garage is validated for customers. The shop is one of the original go-to spots for Chinese dim sum in Chinatown, open early for those picking up food for work, events, or gatherings. Customers can walk in or order ahead to skip the line, though when busy, staff may encourage quick ordering to keep things moving.

The service is friendly and patient, though the staff can be pushy when busy. Known for its baked manapua, pork hash, crispy gau gee, and half moons, the restaurant has maintained the quality and taste of these classics for many decades, all at affordable prices. Recent reviews mention the roasted chicken, which, although good, is considered somewhat plain compared to other options. The steamed manapua with char siu filling remains a favorite, with soft buns and tasty centers. The pork hash, stuffed full with flavorful pork, is highly recommended as a must-try. Overall, Royal Kitchen is a reliable spot for fresh baked manapua and pork hash, with friendly staff and quick service. Visitors are advised to buy early if they want to ensure getting some of their popular items.
