I've been here a few times over the years, and we quite like this place due to its location: it's right next to a Costco. Outside of that, the dim sum is good. There are some differences to how menu items are made/taste from when I first had it, so I feel as though the chef has most likely changed. It's both good and bad because the menu items with taro aren't quite as nice as before, but other things are either the same or better like the Beef Ho Fun for example. The chicken feet have changed too, but both were good. All the classic items are still basically the same. I liked the pan fried chives dumplings and beef cheung fun here. I can't speak for dinner or how it is on the weekdays, but it's quite busy over the weekends, which is expected for dim sum. It's a large space too, but once it's busy, you'll have to take a number and wait for a table. There's some seating along the side of the entrance to wait, but it may still take awhile. Usually, only one person really has to go and take a number, so if possible, one person should strive to get there earlier. read more

Royal China - Disappointing Experience We have been coming to Royal China every year as part of our Christmas tradition, and we've always loved their Peking duck. Unfortunately, this year's experience was extremely disappointing. The service was terrible. We waited 40 minutes just to get our drinks, and after placing our food order, we waited another hour and a half with no food arriving. We were repeatedly told that the food was "coming soon," but nothing came. For reference, we ordered very simple dishes -- green beans, cauliflower, and eggplant -- items that should not take over an hour to prepare. Eventually, the duck arrived after an hour and a half, but none of the side dishes came with it. We had to speak to the manager three separate times, and the staff was rude and dismissive throughout the experience. The restaurant is very authentic, and we were clearly in the minority as guests, but that should never justify such poor service. Sadly, our five-year tradition of spending Christmas here was completely ruined. If you decide to visit this restaurant, be aware that the service can be extremely disappointing. read more

Best Dim Sum we've had in the South. We had the Black Pepper Short Ribs, the Shrimp wrapped in Bacon, BBQ Pork Buns, and the Black Sesame Seed Balls with Red Bean Paste. Not one thing disappointed and every single item sparked a "Holy Shirt That's Good" reaction. Even the Green Tea was top notch. Service was very quick and the food carts came by often. We came in around 11:30 am on a Friday and business wasn't hopping yet, so I might suggest waiting til around noon to see if an even larger variety of Dim Sum is sent out. And the photos that other people have posted of the decor are spot on! Lovely atmosphere. Considering the very large variety of Asian restaurants in the Duluth area, this will probably become our default destination for Asian culinary weekends and vacations! read more

Salt & Pepper Shrimp 7/5 so hot and crispy, usually order two for the table bc we've learned it's a crowd favorite Service 9/5 wonderful and attentive staff, quick moving and polite. We don't speak the same native language and yet it feels like we're family friends. So caring and professional Ambiance 10/5 blows my mind everytime I come in how nice and spacious it is. Do wish we had more room at the tables read more

Nice menu selections, good portions for large groups, in addition to dim sum. Delicious and all cooking styles from China read more

If you're looking for authentic dim sum in the Atlanta suburbs, Royal China is a great choice! The restaurant is huge - elegant chandeliers, high ceilings, and that classic banquet-hall vibe that makes it perfect for family gatherings or even weddings. We came for dim sum and everything was spot on -- juicy soup dumplings (小籠包), fluffy char siu bao, tender pork spare ribs, and silky shrimp rice noodle rolls that reminded me of what I used to eat growing up. My favorites were the siu mai (pork + shrimp dumplings) and the egg tarts, which were buttery, flaky, and baked perfectly! Beyond dim sum, their full Cantonese menu looks amazing -- from crispy salt & pepper squid to beef chow fun and roasted meats. It's definitely a spot I'll return to for dinner or a big celebration. Service was good too - we were never sitting around too long waiting for anything. read more

I searched high and low for a good dim sum spot during our trip to Atlanta, and Royal China did not disappoint. We ordered a spread that hit all the right notes -- Chinese broccoli, char siu bao, shu mai, shrimp rice noodle, and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. Every dish came out fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were craving. The char siu bao had that perfect pillowy texture with just the right amount of sweetness, and the shrimp rice noodle was silky and delicate. Service was quick and efficient, and the vibe had that classic bustling dim sum energy I love -- carts rolling by, steaming baskets opening at the table, and the aroma of freshly made dumplings in the air. If you're looking for authentic dim sum in Atlanta, this is the place. Definitely satisfied our dim sum cravings. read more

Came here with family for dinner today. We usually come for the dim sum, so it's been a while since I've had dinner here. It was really good! I really like the decor and atmosphere because it feels upscale while dining there. The menu is very big, and the prices are very fair for the environment. The servers are also really attentive, which added to the experience. I enjoyed all the dishes that we got, and it was a really great dining experience overall. I would definitely come here for dinner again! read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside, but it's a different story on the inside. This establishment definitely has a way of making a grand impression with the luxe interior and incredibly accommodating service. All of the classic dim sum dishes were delicious, and I especially love the pork/chive dumplings, fried glutinous rice dumplings, and black sesame balls. Wouldn't get the egg tarts but that's just my personal opinion. Overall, everything here is well made, thank you! :) read more

I have been looking for a GOOD Chinese restaurant and I just found it. I will warn you though, the portions are large! We ordered Shrimp fried rice, Spicy Chicken Grille Pot (hot), and a Stir-fry noodle with Special Sauce. It was VERY good. I highly recommend this place. Bring your appetite! read more

Royal China is perhaps the largest, most elegant Dim Sum Restaurants we have been to. The staff welcomed us with warm greetings. Our friend is Taiwanese, so speaking Mandarin helped I'm sure. But it was nice to see how friendly the staff were. The service is by push cart, which is nice, because you get to experience a variety of dishes, some you may be familiar with but also have the ability to explore and try new dishes. I would say we had "the usual", in terms of offerings, including the Sticky Rice, Pork Shumai, Shrimp Shumai, Beef Tripe, Pork Spareribs and a few dishes whose names escape me. My wife order the Salt and Pepper Pork Chops off the menu. They were delicious, moist and flavorful. On to my favorites. The Beef Tripe was by far my favorite dish. The Tripe was simmered in this delicious broth, enhancing the flavors. We finished our meal with Egg Tarts. A favorite dessert, we have had a LOT of egg tarts in our day but I would say this has to be among the best if not THE best Egg Tart we have ever had. The crust was light and flaky. The custard was smooth and delicious. Amazing. One of my new favorite places to have Dim Sum. read more

As a Cantonese person living in Atlanta Georgia I'm always on the hunt for good dim sum. I think I've found it :). Set in a royal banquet hall with dim sum carts roaming around it's exactly the setting you want to be eating dim sum. I will say, if you're not experienced you can probably be a little overwhelmed by people coming up to you and showing you random food. Just sit back and relax and let the people show you new and exciting food!! read more

Big banquet hall pretty much like other dim sum places. The service was rude and none of the people with the carts spoke English so when I asked what everything was, I got mumbled gibberish. Food was good of all that we ate. We forgot to take photos before we started eating. There are so many better places for dim sum that o would not come back here. read more

Even just walking into this establishment, I was impressed! The restaurant itself is so beautiful, with a wide open space and extremely tall ceilings decorated with all kinds of fixtures. They really capture the hustle and bustle of a true dim sum experience. Especially with so many places moving towards the method of just ordering through a digital menu, I really appreciate all the carts being towed around with their pushers trying to entice you to try a few dishes. The quality of the food is pretty decent too, with a wide menu variety. And if you don't see what you're waiting for, you can always put in an order to the kitchen. My only complaints are that it can be kind of hard to flag a server down, and service outside of the carts can be pretty slow. But that's to be expected with how busy the place is. But also some of the shrimp dishes had kind of a mushy texture so not too sure about the freshness of those. read more

LOVE this place. I was able to make a reservation and I do recommend that because they can get busy. Their menu is insanely huge. Everything we got was amazing and I love that they put chili oil on the table already for you. Their dim sum was delicious. I also loved their scrambled eggs with green onions and shrimp! You really can't go wrong with what you choose! read more

This is our go to restaurant for cantonese family dinner style. Their dining hall is huge but feels a little empty sometimes. Simon the manager is our favorite, he always take good care of us when we are there. This was actually where we had our wedding reception since we love the food. Now for s typical family style dinner it's not as exquisite as the wedding dishes. We love the egg yolk lobster and it never disappoints. Another stable is the beef chow fun. We tried the japanese tofu, it was good, but there are much better choices on the menu such as the lamb chop in black pepper sauce and the steamed seabass. Their peking duck 3 courses is also another stable we always get. Their menu is much lather than canton house and I like their flavor more. read more

The food is always fresh. There is a wide variety of dishes as well as their specialty, dimsum. The service is very good.

I've been here for a wedding celebration but for dim sum the first time over the weekend! The dim sum experience can be very nerving for anyone unfamiliar with the process. Even for myself that has had it many times. I really liked the large dining room and the high ceilings. It made it seem just a little less chaotic. Wait staff came around quickly as soon as we all sat and then again throughout our meal. It is easy to drop $$ since there are no prices labeled and honestly you wouldn't know if you're charged correctly unless you ask for price and keep tabs on what is being marked off on your ticket. Overall food all came out fresh and satisfying. We ordered salt and pepper squid on the side and even though it didn't look like much it was very good. There were a few items they did not have available in the dim sum but we were told we can order off the menu but it would be the large portion which we opt out of. Sundays are supposed to be the busiest and best days to come for dim sum with more offerings. I don't think my social anxiety will allow me to come on a Sunday though. LOL read more

We came as soon as it opened. Service was very fast & attentive (felt kinda rushed but that's typical for Asian style). The dim sum was push cart style & fairly fresh since it just opened. We order là carte two noodles dishes & standard dim sum of the carts. Overall fresh but very greasy. The ceiling was overflowing with Crystals lighting in floral patterns. read more

A great spot for pecking duck and large groups! I feel like there aren't many good places for duck in Georgia, but this is one of them! We ordered duck 4 ways along with some noodle, veggie, and pork dishes on the side. Everything was great! Maybe a tad on the salty side, but most restaurant food is. Service was very fast. Our food came almost immediately! The interior is also stunning. I love all of the crystal chandeliers! Overall, I would recommend giving Royal China a try! read more

We visited Royal China Restaurant for dim sum brunch. While the food was delicious, we were left waiting too long for the carts to come by, which was a bit disappointing. Also, the exterior of the restaurant doesn't match the interior--inside, it's much nicer than you'd expect from the outside. On the plus side, we love that it's conveniently located next to a Costco, so we were able to do some shopping afterward. Overall, a mixed experience with some highs and lows. read more

A good dim sum place with good hot food options. One of the better places in Duluth for good Chinese food that is formal. I think Humble House hiding in the Great Wall supermarket makes the best home style cooking but RCR is good for a more formal meal. We ordered the 3 course peking duck- duck was good quality and ther was even a person who carves it for you in person. The rest of the duck is fried off into dishes for you. The duck is served with thin crepes- about 10-15$ a batch but very good. I would highly recommend the duck here for those who are duck lovers and those who want to try a good beijing duck. I think their dim sum is also good. East Pearl used to have the monopoly in this area but I think RCR makes superior dim sum compared to East Pearl. Ordered a steamed fish and it was also well done- the fish is fresh and the hot oil over it was fragrant making this a simple but elegant dish Service was not bad- you do have to be attentive to the carts going around bc some dishes are hard to hunt down once it goes by you. Inside was a big ballroom type of atmosphere with glass balls hanging over you- only problem is that on a hot day the condensation from the AC can drip over your head and food. I imagine its a good place for a formal event and banquets. The food certainly is befitting and the space is large enough. read more

I judge chinese restaurants by their lo mein. Their's was smoky and the chicken was fresh. Their hunan beef was cooked well too. Did not much care for the dumplings, but he told us which ones to order the next time around. Will post more after the next visit when we may do the dim sum. Service was good, and Ambiance was amazing. Huge place with a grand chandelier. read more

Came on a weekend and we did not have to wait too long to be seated. I thought the service was nice and attentive. There were multiple carts with food and quick service. We ordered multiple items and definitely had our favorites. I would say the food here was good but honestly most of the food I ate was either cold or lukewarm. Some flavors were also lacking to be honest. Overall, the ambiance was nice and it would be a nice place for gatherings but I think there are better dimsum spots. read more

Royal Dim-Sum! It's been a tradition for a handful of years to go to Royal China on New Year's Day with a group of foodie friends who enjoy the variety of treats that await us! I'll be honest - I do not know the names of all the items. Yes there is Shu Mai and chicken feet, sesame balls and sticky rice. Okay so I do know some of the names. We get there rather early for this feast and FYI - the "greens" don't come out until after 11am. Or as we ordered from the official menu and it was one of the best dishes with lots of garlic. We always get the chrysanthemum hot tea (with the rock sugar). This year we also noticed that the amount of carts at the beginning was on point (in prior years they didn't have a lot to offer being so early) and the service was top notch. This for sure is my go to for dim sum and hope it becomes yours. read more

Last few years this place has always been booked. We finally got the chance to dine in as a family of 4. We used to go to the chamblee location. Decor was amazing, service was really slow.

Everything about this restaurant was so nice the food was very good and the service and staff was also great

I've heard great things about this dim sum spot and I was not disappointed! They serve their large variety of options via their pushcarts and inform you of the options they have. Between the 3 of us we tried their shumai, crystal shrimp dumplings, bbq pork buns, turnip cake, soup dumplings, and so much more! Everything came out fresh from their kitchen. We liked everything but the soup dumplings since they fell apart very easily. Either way, staff were amiable and helpful. I'll definitely come again to enjoy the family and large group friendly establishment. read more

Arrived there with my family for dim sum, was seated quickly, then completely ignored us. No tea, no water, didn't asked if we need to order any speciality items. I saw they were busy today so decided to give it a few minutes. Waited about 20 minutes, never brought my group any tea or water, while we already some dim sum from the cart ladies. I brought this to a server's attention, she told me okay, then never to be seen again with the tea that I requested. At this time, this just completely ruined our mood and told them we wanted to pay and go because they've been ignoring us the whole time. I typically tip 20-30%, but I was so furious with their service or better yet, lack of service, I decided to not tip at all. Complained to the waitress, she was apologetic, brought me some to go containers. I paid for my food up front in person, and complained about it again before leaving. Food was mediocre but the service is horrible, for anyone intending to visit this establishment. You've been warned! read more

WARNING: OVERCHARGING SCAM We've been going to Royal China Dim Sum (3960 Venture Drive, Duluth, GA) since its opening, but we consistently encounter surprising overcharges on our bills. Since we always went with our large family, we've never questioned the prices, assuming honesty in charges. However, on March 2nd, we received our bill for $495.85. This already raised our suspicion since this was the least amount we had eaten, and it did not make sense for the high charge. The way their bill is for dim sum is impossible to read. You can never understand how they charge you. We brought the check to the front desk and told them to interpret each item they charged us. They said we ordered a special crab and lobster order, which we never ordered. They also charged us for extra dishes we never received. Despite consuming 32 dishes, we were billed for 45, along with additional fees for spices and tea. After correction, the bill was reduced to $357.10. They charged us $138.75 extra. Imagine how many people they have scammed and overcharged. This is unacceptable and a bad taste for a business. read more
