Royal Kitchen Chinese Restaurant

Super delicious and authentic! You know the food is going to be good when there’s only Chinese people in the restaurant and it’s a bit grimy inside. They were super friendly and spoke Cantonese and the food came out minutes after we ordered. I don’t know how they made the food so fast. Everything tasted fresh and was seasoned well, including the steamed oysters. It’s best to go with a big group and eat family style. I would definitely come again.

The food is not as good as I expected. A little bit disappointed.

Excellent typical Chinese food. Be prepared to wait to be seated during weekends, but it is worth it .

Lots of fun when you have a lot of friends to share the dishes with. Just don't get fried rice as it's just beef broth and rice. However, fried tofu was delicious; orange chicken was well prepared and the duck wasn't bad at all. All other dishes are excellent. The price per person was reasonable and the tip included.

I had a meal at this restaurant, and the experience was terrible. The waiters had a very bad attitude and would rather chat with others than take our order. We waited for a long time but there is no one who took our orders.

The food was decent, but the menus need work. All I was offered was a paper sheet that didn’t describe the dishes at all.

this place is great, good food and the service is good. been here so many times, dinner time, really busy especially on weekends. otherwise, good place to eat.

The food is really fresh, the most authentic taste that you can have for Cantonese or Hong Kong style food and flavours, the staffs all come up and serve enthusiastically.

Our usual stops during weekends. Give it a try and you surely will keep going back. Enjoy.

Happy with our lunch and was our go to place prior to COVID. Do miss the cart but ordering yields hot dim sum dishes. Service and quality haven’t really change, no issue with service and the food is good.

Note on my how I rate. Sharing because I think, and assuming, most may think 3* is not a good review.

5* Amazing, great food, service and/or experience and worth the travel. Example we regularly drive to Austin from San Antonio for Uchi
4* Food, service and/or ambiance exceeds expectations
3* Average/good or meets expectations for food or service and anything 3* and above I would revisit
2* Food or service is not at acceptable expectations
1* Avoid

I used to be a regular at this establishment 7-8 years ago, back when it was known as Kings Restaurant. Since the pandemic, I had not visited until recently, when we began dining there again. The restaurant now has a new name, Royal Kitchen, but some of the waitresses remain from the days when I used to frequent it.
Nostalgia made me eager to fall in love with the place again. However, our experience was poor on two separate occasions. Most recently, we visited for dim sum on my birthday. Unfortunately, every dish appeared to be reheated, possibly in a microwave, from frozen. Some were inadequately reheated and still cold, while others were overheated, becoming unbearably dry. Both the 咸水角 and 芋角 had a pronounced taste of pork taint, so much so that I nearly vomited. We didn’t finish the food we ordered because how awful it was. If I had wanted frozen dim sum, I could have easily purchased it from the supermarket, where it would have tasted better than what was served. It was a major disappointment.

We went for the dim sum and it was bad, edible but not enjoyable. The buns and dumplings were super dry, not juicy like other places. The turnip cake was bland. Everything was bland for that matter. The tripes were left in large chunks like they couldn’t even be bothered to cut it. I honestly wouldn’t go back if I had a choice.

The service was minimal like most other asian restaurants
