Customer Reviews
The original owner Tina retired and sold the business about two years ago. Since then it has really gone downhill. This used to be a five star restaurant with excellent food. A go to place to meet your friends and family and have a good chinese meal. There was always a line waiting to get in. Not true anymore. I don't know what happened. It seems like the chef must have left with Tina. The food had no flavor at all, and it seems like the food quality was low. The cook is not good. The owner must be trying to save money by skimping on quality. I do not recommend this restaurant. I used to love it, but this visit was a disappointing experience, and I don't think they're going to be able to step it up. There were hardly any customers in the restaurant when back in the day every table was full
⭐☆☆☆☆ A Royal Disappointment: The Culinary equivalent of a Wet Fortune Cookie Let me be perfectly clear: I have eaten questionable food from street vendors in foreign countries with less trepidation than I felt consuming my meal at Royal China. The "Royal" in the name must be a reference to the sheer audacity it takes to serve food this tragically mediocre and charge money for it. My journey into this gastronomic abyss began with hope. The restaurant is unassuming, which in retrospect should have been my first clue. We started with the Pork Dumplings. The menu called them "juicy." The kitchen, however, apparently interpreted "juicy" as "a desiccated wad of spiced cardboard encased in a doughy, leaden purse." They arrived lukewarm, with a dipping sauce that tasted like soy sauce cut with
My wife & I had lunch today at Royal China, & unfortunately I have to agree with the recent review by Michael NitrosMike McPherson. The food has continued a downward spiral in flavor & quality from what I formerly concidered the best Chinese restaurant in the area. In a response to Michael’s review, the owners claimed no changes in ownership or in the chef. All I know is that Tina & Andy are no longer there to greet us with their energy & wonderful dining experience. Andy was the chef & is no longer there — I even told two staff members today that they need to bring Andy back to re-teach them how the prepare good food. I won’t be returning, & now need to begin my search all over again for good local Chinese food.
My potstickers was very doughy, and when I got done eating, I had a lightweight stomach ache so I don’t know if my food was cooked all the way. I don’t know if I would recommend this restaurant. I ordered the walnut shrimp, chicken, chow mein, and the potstickers. If you asked me, it was kind of done a little too quick
This place has been a favorite of ours for years. We love the lunch specials, and dinner is great as well. My favorite: basil lamb. Never disappoints!
