About Royal East

Royal East is a renowned restaurant in Boston, known for its exceptional Chinese and Malaysian/Singaporean dishes. The PuPu Platter and boneless ribs, possibly made with honey, remain popular choices. Vegetarian options such as shrimp and eggplant are also available. Standout dishes include the flavorful poh piah, roti canai, chicken satay, and char quey teow.

The hosts, Karen and Nick, are praised for their exceptional hospitality, making customers feel like they are the most important guests. The food and drinks are consistently delicious, with the Nenas Tofu & Popiah (the vegetable rolls) receiving high praise for their excellent taste and quick service.

The menu offers a variety of options, including a traditional Cantonese dish, the braided pork with preserved vegetable 梅菜扣肉, which is a rare find. Customers have suggested that the menu could benefit from more consistent vegetarian labeling, and note that dishes do not come with rice, which may need to be ordered separately.

Overall, Royal East provides a delightful dining experience with its diverse and flavorful menu, as well as its attentive and welcoming hosts.
