Royal China Restaurant

This was one of my fav restaurants when Ms. Shirley owned it. Since then the food has consistently gone down and the prices have gone up. 2 adults and 1 child for lunch was $69.00. I ordered Almond Shrimp. The sauce was jelling before my eyes and the fried rice was dark and crispy right out of microwave. For a New Orleans resturant the shimp, as before, should have been devained, but they weren't. A total of 8 whole almonds and very few if any Chinese vegetables. Carrots and broccoli were the majority. 2nd meal was beef and peppers. Tasted like Heintz brown gravy over deli stripped roast beaf and again very little peppers and mostly onions. I wont even address the 3rd meal. Crab Rangoon waa no more than cream cheese frind in a won ton wrap. I would have rated it lower but the sprite was cold. Would not recommend. Very poor quality of Chinese food

Idk if we caught them on a bad day from reading the other reviews.... but I did not enjoy it at all. Food took awhile to come and we were the first and only customers there. I had orange chicken which was almost too hard to bite. The shrimp fried rice wasnt hot and barely had and shrimp.

I wish the cashier was more friendly and helpful. I explained that this was my 1st time trying the restaurant.Food was ok . Definitely should have asked more questions relating food. Shrimp egg roll is not your traditional. (It wasTasty/ no vegetables)

Pricing on menu is not what is rung up..Shrimp dumplings on menu are $6.80, was charged $7.35, not much however, it is the principal of it.. When I asked about the discrepancy was told that is what the the computer says and I countered with the menu amount is what I go by and the restaurant should have an up to date menu.Asked to speak to manager, was told manager stepped out...Will never darken their door!

Went in about 1:30 ordered crab argon it was flat and no crab lunch came out right away it was warmed up and nasty boneless chicken sweet and sour chicken was hard and pineapple cold egg rolls were dark brown and had funny taste rice was dry but ok left After tasting everything 42.00 wasted food on table . Went across street to eat.

I ordered the Mandarin Chicken which came with a generous portion, definitely enough for two people. It comes with white meat but was a little dry for my taste. The low lit dining room was cozy and had background music. The pictures on the wall, the tables, and accessories are nicely done.

Went for lunch and had a great meal. Started off with Wonton soup and it was one of the best I ever had. Wife and daughter split a large egg drop soup and it was thick with plenty egg in it and was served with crispy wontons. Wife had Shrimp w/ lobster sauce, daughter had orange chicken and I had Boneless chicken. All of them were really good, hot fresh, flavorful and you get a large portion. Drinks are served in cans with a glass of ice. All in for the 3 of us it was $63 for lunch but we had enough leftovers to take home for supper. It was my first time there but won't be my last.

The Dim Sum is not the Dim Sum I am use to. I am use to an authentic Chinese Dim Sum and this is definitely not it! The food was a waste of my money. As the Dim Sum did not even taste what I am use to growing up as a child and did not taste authentic. If I wanted to spend over $100 on food that wasn't great, I could've saved my self the money and gotten McDonald's instead.Maybe their other Chinese Food is good, but their menu is not an authentic Chinese Food menu.I still would not recommed this place.

Came back after a couple of month’s. My main reason was the Paper shrimp…unique and a top 5 appetizer of all Asian restaurants! This time the pork fried rice was superior to the multiple item rice… large pieces of pork and very large portion, enough for several take home meals. Very good service, too. Will be a regular place for us.

Always love getting food from here. Family oriented and owned, the atmosphere is amazing! The food is delicious, and I always love to chat at the counter while I'm waiting for my takeout!

Has been in NOLA for over 15 years, first time trying the dishes here. I am amazed by the dishes, especially paper shrimp. Taste so good, so fresh! Definitely worth the money.

Warning this is not the original Royal China it was for 40 years. Didn’t do owners seem to be deliberately try to destroy the reputation of one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. The quality of the food, the preparation of the food, the taste of the food, the service of everyone in the restaurant.Today we went to have dinner to Friday sign on the door that said close, they decided to start changing the times of when they are open. Today they closed an hour early on a Friday. Two times in the past they would not answer the phone to take an order, and when they eventually did finally answer the phone the order was completely wrong when we went to pick it up. Surely please buy back the restaurant you and your husband create it, these people are going to have to file bankruptcy if they keep making the decisions they have been making

Best Chinese restaurant in the country, easily. Cozy ambiance makes it feel exactly like a perfect favorite place would feel. Terrific food and good prices. New York and Texas restaurants should take lessons.

You know the person who eats a Chinese a dish and decides to recreate at home with leftover ingredients and doesn’t even have the essential Chinese sauces and spices and wings the whole thing without referring to even a basic recipe. Oh, and the person is drunk. That is the abomination that came out of this home kitchen experiment. And at the price, they are robbing you blind with the abysmal portion sizes. Do not get the salt and pepper oysters! 45 minute wait time for carry out. Understaffed and overworked. Hire a new kitchen staff because this not even passable.

Found this restaurant on Google and decided to order from them because of their reviews. I ordered chicken fried rice and some chicken wings. Fried rice was bland with no seasoning. It Tasted like regular white rice with droppings of unseasoned chicken cuts whiles the chicken wings tasted like pure salt yuck. This is the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I Will not be ordering from them again.
