Anyway, this place had decent reviews so we came here for some dim sum at midnight. The place has as royalty feel to it (hence the name) so there's tons of chandelier and tons of elaborate Chinese decor. The portions are huge and the dim sum was delicious. We couldn't finish our meal but at least we were full and the price for our entire meal wasn't bad, it was about 50 euros after everything. Worth a stop if you're craving chinese food or dim sum while in Rotterdam.

I was here first but they service the two groups behind me (group of 4s and 3s) Ordered 2 dim sums and noodle. Only 1 came with noodle and the other came when I am about to leave. Ambiance - was seated in the corner of the restaurant and there was no condiment on the table at all I was surprised I saw a dog in a stroller in this restaurant. Is this legit?

The gentleman at the door took our coats to hang while we dined. He was very nice and got us seated right away. They gave us hot hand towels to clean our hands off which felt so nice from being out in the cold weather. We looked at the menu which was in 3 languages (thank you for having English btw) and put in our order. We got chicken dumplings, pork soup dumplings, chicken soup, sweet pineapple fried chicken and black bean chicken and vegetables. All of the food was absolutely delicious. If I could stay here I would choose to eat here all the time. The service was excellent, the ambiance is cozy and intimate and the food is delicious. Please, if you are visiting Rotterdam, check out Hong Kong for dinner.

The portions were fair, tasty, and very fresh. My wife had several dim sum choices and she thoroughly enjoyed each one. I had the duck, chicken, pork special and each meat was delicious.

Disappointing, sad and hopefully no future ahead…read more For a 37€ p/p surprise menu (4 courses) you may get 1 chicken breast soaked in oil, 2 dim sum and 2 fried undescribed items, 2 small pancakes with 2 slices of duck skin and for main course stir fried meat, a few shrimps and a few vegetables. On the top of this uncreative cuisine, all the service took ages. If you are hungry you won't leave the place satiated but angry! Any banal Chinese would do a better service than Asian (in)Glories. Darwin theory will apply to this restaurant.

Em, let's start from the initial feeling entering the restaurant, heavy smell of oil made it cheap atmosphere, but I said to myself to wait for the food. Horrible wine list and obviously a 'China town' level restaurant, but the interior are nice :) non of the menu items attracts a real Chinese, I ordered chicken in shacha source, Mapo tofu and erg fried rice. Plain rice also came as free, what a nice surprise! I really appreciate the offer to cook anything I want as a Chinese, but I have to say the Mapo tofu has nothing about Mapo tofu, even I cook better. Shacha chicken was literally tasting like chicken fry with shacha source from the supermarket, very very very normal. We also order desert 'osmanthus flower cake with lychee ice cream', that was special - I mean the lychee ice cream.the home-made osmanthus flower cake was too disappointing! Well, what worst is that Michellin gave this restaurant 'recommended' from 2007-2014. I am so disappointed by Michellin's standard and just wonder if there's any proper Chinese restaurant in Rotterdam?!

Finally, I have found a dim sum place that I would be proud to recommend to people. I prefer this place to Sea Palace, Oriental City in Amsterdam and Kee Lun Palace in The Hague. Food: 4/5 This is the first dim sum place in the Netherlands that has dim sum that meets the standards of what I would expect back home (NYC). The dishes are tasty and they even have a few new ones as well. No longer do I have to say "this is better than nothing", I actually came back here because I wanted dim sum. Service: 3/5 It is quite standard Chinese service, which means they are curt and efficient. You order everything on a piece of paper and they bring you the food, which means that you do have to wait a bit for it. However, none of this is any different from other Dutch places. Atmosphere: 4/5 This place is bustling during the weekends, even in the early afternoon when dim sum would usually be done. It is clear that coming here is a weekend tradition for many Chinese families, like it should be. This is exactly what a dim sum place is like and should be. Value: 3/5 Dishes were around 3-4 euros a plate, which is about average for most dim sum places here.

We didn't order the dishes ourselves, but the whole entire restaurant has been booked and the dishes have been planned out by our host. We were so full by the end of the evening. I could barely walk. Lol I could barely remember what we had since there were about 10 courses of dishes. But I can point out the highlight of the evening and I've posted a pic in the gallery.
