I love eating here. I usually eat here with my roommate as we're regulars and sometimes take the food to go. Ambiance is in a nice, cute and clean area. It's very close to the Millbrae Bart station. Food is excellent here. We normally order the Qong Qing Chicken boneless, boiled fish, eggplant, fried rice, etc. We order a lot from here too. All the food has not disappointed. Not only is it flavourful, but they give such a large amount of food lol. Service is always fantastic here. The staff remember you even if you haven't been there in months lol. They're very friendly and take care of us when we eat there. They even offered me tea while waiting for my food when I take it to go. Royal Feast feels like one when the food is delicious and the portions are gigantic. Lol. read more

We can for a table of 8 family dinner and the serving was adequate. The interior was set for banquet style services, so it was average but can feel a bit crowded at times. The ordered Peking Duck, lamb clay pot, tan tan noodles, pine nut crispy fish and a few other dishes. They were all good EXCEPT for the Peking duck, it was not as crispy as we hoped for. Otherwise the pricing is good for large portion family style feast. read more

Royal FLOP. I've been here twice now thinking that the first time was an off day. We went there last night and it was a hot mess. They had so many to go orders that the food was left on a table with people sitting and waiting for their food. While they probably did not touch the food, it seems like poor business practice. We also saw one of the servers drop a lobster from the tank. She quickly picked it up with tongs and looked around, where we made eye contact and then proceeded to go back to the kitchen. Not sure if they ended up cooking the lobster but health inspectors should take note. Lastly their point of sale system crashed so they could take any credit cards. Good thing we had cash. We didn't get all the dishes we ordered - we had ordered 7 and only received 5 and charged for 5. They weren't specialties items either-green beans and green onion pancake. Overall, it's too bad this place is doing so poorly. The reviews are off since it has fairly good ratings. read more

I went here a few times and this place is absolutely amazing. My partner and I were craving fried fish and they didn't have it on their menu but the server had the chef make it for us She is so sweet!!! The place is nice and homey! The food was soo good too! read more

Food - We loved most of the dishes! - Dishes were a good size, cane timely. - Spicy! But I live the numbing spice. - The noodle dish came last. Thought that would be the first to come. Service - Great service, fast! - They have birthday music to play when it's time to sing! Ambiance - Sort of a tight space between the tables. - Many big tables to sit big parties. We still had to wait about 15 minutes with reservations. Comfort food. Felt authentic. We would come back! read more

Nothing we had was out of the ordinary or stood out. In fact, the fried rice tasted bland and dry, as did the duck. Duck should be tasty enough on its own where you don't need to put sauce on it. The fish could have used more seasoning too. The honey walnut shrimp had way too much mayo and was small portion size of the shrimp; majority of the plate was those pink shrimp chips. Service was good and they have a private room for a larger party. read more

Searching for peking duck without ordering in advance so decided to check this out & try some other dishes: Hot & Sour Soup- one of the better prepared soups in the peninsula as it was filled with bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms and the balance of spice & acid was perfect. Mapo Tofu - good heat and spice and a little heavy on the Sichuan peppercorn as the tingly sensation was evident but still and a delicious dish. Shrimp Hong Style Noodles - excellent preparation of crispy noodles with a variety of prawns & veggies and not drowning in sauce so the noodles still had crunch. Peking Duck- a generous portion served with the pancake style which is very enjoyable paired with the Hoisin, scallions & cucumber. The duck itself was tasty however it could have been rendered a little more as the fat was quite visible and the skin should have been more crispy. The bonus when ordering this dish is that they bring out the fried bones with black bean sauce which was a nice treat even though we were plenty full. Overall, good service and well flavored dishes so a return visit is definitely in the future. read more

This was pretty good. We had the dumpling and duck. Have to call in and reserve the duck. They give you a lot! Crispy skin and some with meat and crispy skin if that's what you like. It was delicious. I docked a star because the thin wrap was a bit too chewy for my taste and the dipping sauce was a bit bitter. But otherwise it was delicious. Parking was tough but you can find parking just have to walk a ways to get here. There is also street parking if you're lucky. read more

We might have ordered the wrong dish, but we weren't impressed with what we got. It also seems like the Yelp reservation system isn't very reliable, when we arrived, the server seemed confused but seated us anyway. The place is small, but we were seated comfortably. Overall, 3 stars. Only dish I can really talk about would be Fish Fillet with Garlic and Eggplant Clay Pot Good, nothing special but it's not bad at all. read more

For $10.95 or $11.95 per person, you can get a nice weekday lunch special that comes with a bowl of soup, a spring roll, and rice. The food quality is very good, and we were seated very quickly when we arrived. I have been here many times for lunch and dinner in the past and always enjoy their meals, so the weekday lunch special is definitely a good option amidst all the food options nearby. read more

My mom wanted to come here for lunch and said she went with her friends the other day and it was really good! It is under a newer ownership and I don't know how the food was before, but it was very good and the price was outstanding at least for the lunch specials we had especially these days when a sandwich or burger elsewhere costs me 18-20.00 each! It started out with hot and sour soup which is the soup I really like! Then we ordered sweet and sour pork, but they misunderstood and brought us shredded pork with garlic sauce( think it is also called Szechuan pork?). Now this is not the regular bright red Cantonese sweet and sour pork I was expecting! My mom explained this is Northern Chinese and Beijing kind of sweet and sour chicken which was fried and in a kind of honey looking sauce( kind of color of honey glaze so I'm thinking of a honey type sauce)! This was deep fried and crunchy and very good! My mom's favorite! I'm not into sweet stuff, but it was delicious! The pork was like kind of large flat and thin spareribs type of meat. 5 stars! The accidental dish they brought was MY favorite! It had mixed vegetables thinly julienned like bamboo, I don't know if cucumber or zucchini, wood fungus/or mushrooms, etc. The sauce was absolutely delicious and different slightly sweet and savory at the same time with a slight vinegary taste! Whatever the mix, I could have just ate the sauce lol especially on the rice! Next time I love eggplant and will try this with the eggplant as I think this sauce would be delicious with eggplant. I didn't notice but this sauce would be good for a vegetarian dish as well! 5 plus stars for this! We tend to like eating more vegetables so my mom's favorite ordered shrimp with mixed vegetables which had broccoli and bok choy, bamboo, mushrooms and in a white sauce. I usually don't like seafood or shrimp( other than crab and honey walnut shrimp lol- who doesn't like that?!), but this was also yummy! 5/5 stars. I felt like I was in one of those old Chinese drama sets as that is what the interior reminded me of and I kept staring at this HUGE crab in the tank! Next time I want to try their crab! They graciously deducted the accidental dish on our bill, but I know how tough restaurants are having after COVID and in this inflationary economy, I gave them money to cover that dish as well since I loved it so much! And really if my mom didn't tell me to come here I always bypassed it bc it kind of looks like an old fashioned temple outside or something-maybe the bright red and green color!? I am weird like that and I was pleasantly surprised! Oh and despite the main interior off to the side was a beautiful banquet room! They could fit up to 18 on one table even and have different size accommodations which is great for my large family as we have a hard time fitting all of us at one table which is 21 people usually! They were saying that the General Counsel and ambassadors would come and that is their special room to eat or meet! So it is pretty nice( remember gold colors)! I found a place to do my parent's birthday! Best about this place is the lunch menus was like 9.00-10.00 an entire entree/meal( we split it like Chinese family style with rice already separated in a bowl). I glanced at the main menu and from what I remember 10-12.00 entrees so reasonable! Some Asian restaurants in that area are 18-28.00/ dish these days! Parking is in the back which is kind of awkward bc if you miss it you have to go back all the way around. From the front there looks like a parking lot on their side BUT it is for the Vietnamese restaurant next door with large tow away signs. There are plenty of spots on the curb though! One last thing they have those stuffed burgers that I have seen lately in like a crispy flaky kind of roti or pita type( hard to explain more like a paratha or green onion pancake kind of bread). I can't wait to try that bc hard to find those! I definitely will be back- the owners are gracious and sweet family, love to support local business and great prices in this day and economy and the main thing DELICIOUS food! YUM!!! read more

Came here celebrated friends group dinner immediately I didn't get same vibe as before two year's ago I'm believed that this well known highly rated restaurant has changed ownership which has changed since then but the food was smaller portions than what I'm used top table service was excellent very attentive and polite we had ordered 10 courses dinner with drink's and tip was $420.00 for party of eight friends in any case that you can do the math $50.00 per person read more

My friend and I came here for an early dinner. We found this place because it had decent reviews. I knew this place was going to be good because locals started flooding in later. The customer service was good and the inside was pretty nice. It felt nostalgic like a little kid going to other Chinese restaurants. Well the FOOD was HELLA good! I think the star of the show was the soup, it hit the spot. Hella comforting. If you're in the area you should come here. read more

Long overdue review for Royal Feast. If you're looking for authentic Chinese food, this place is for you! A chef of mine recommended this spot to us for a gathering. The food is definitely made for sharing (family style). Service was fast! We ordered a lot of dishes that I may have forgotten the name of some of the dishes... it's just in my photo album and I need to post it. From looking at my pictures, I enjoyed the salted egg yolk shrimp, spicy sliced beef, abalone soup with quail eggs, greens with century egg soup, Peking duck, sweet and sour fried fish. Ambiance is kinda but it's a very welcoming environment. Many of us enjoyed the food so no complaints here! read more

Our multi generation family came for lunch recently. We pre-ordered the 2 ducks for the 2 tables reserved. Parking was fairly easy before noon, restaurant is relatively spacious, ambiance is ok, nothing fancy. In addition to the ducks we ordered many dishes to share, we asked to make everything non-spicy but somehow the message didn't reach the chef... The best dishes were clearly the ducks, crispy skin with lots of moist meat that everyone enjoyed, the duck bone soup was also quite tasty. Other favorites were sauteed shrimp with napa cabbage, pork belly, crispy pork, kids ate mostly the fried noodles and dumplings. Kong pao chicken, cumin lamb were too spicy we had to take them to go. The many northern Chinese noodle dishes were decent but didn't stand out for me ie dumplings, beef roll, pork pie, chilli oil wonton, beef noodle, cold noodles and etc. other stirfried meat and vegetable dishes were pretty good. Our total for 18 people after 18% gratuity came to $650 which is not bad compared to many other places these days. Service was pleasant. Overall most of us were happy with the meal, will be back for the duck and explore other dishes. read more

If Royal Feast was on the other side of El Camino or on Broadway, it would be packed with people. Food is consistent and delicious and the service is friendly. Prices are excellent for the quality and the servings are generous. You must try the Chong Qing fried chicken. The scallion pancakes come with a delicious eggplant garlic sauce reminiscent of baba ganoush, sooo good. The dumplings are super juicy, I recommend the pork and chive variety. I'm not sure, but I think they source their dumplings from Dumpling Empire. The tripe with cilantro is a favorite, the dry fried string bean is killer, and our kids love the (very) sweet and sour squirrel fish. I kind of wish the menu was more limited so the chef could focus on their strengths. I have had some dishes that missed the mark including the Couple's Delight and Jia Zia Mein. The Couple's Delight is particularly disappointing since it's mostly beef shank, with barely any tripe and no tendon at all. If you happen to be there for lunch on the weekend, they have a special menu with Northern style street foods like Chinese "burgers," tasty meats sandwiched in a flaky bun kind of like a gordita. Very good, small plates, really nice for families with kids. On weekdays they have lunch specials with entree, rice, and soup for $10-11. You cannot get a quality lunch for less in the area. It's a must try. If you like the food at Little Chengdu or Wonderful, you owe it to yourself to check out Royal Feast. read more

Underrated Chinese cuisine place in Burlingame! I saw this place on google and wanted to give it a try since my friend wanted to try the Peking Duck. We ordered a couple of dishes and all of it was amazing! I really enjoyed the Chongqing Crispy Fried Chicken, Sauteed pea spouts, Szechuan-Style Soy Sauce Fried Rice. It was full of flavor and good portion for the price. Recommend coming to this place with family and friends. Also, they are known for their lobster and crab! However, I wish the service was a little better, the staff wasn't as attentive so we had to wait for a while before ordering and paying for it! read more

Finally tried Royal Feast, brown bean chicken was very tasty. I ordered the lunch special. Egg drop soup was very small and lukewarm. Only rice option was plain white (other local restaurants often ofter fried rice with lunch specials). As mentioned, the chicken was very good. I tend to enjoy the chicken itself and water chestnut (not in RF dish). I like the seasoning of the bell pepper but don't eat bell pepper. Sooo...I was going to give a three star review because the chicken was on light side, dish was not too filling, but then received the bill which was on the low side. Overall, I'd return to RF. read more

Authentic Chinese restaurant serving delicious food at some of the most affordable prices (especially their lunch special of $9.95/dish from M-F 11 AM - 2 PM). They specialize in Szechaun cuisine, so watch out for the spice. Some of the best dishes are their duck and their twice-cooked pork. The staff are incredibly friendly and consistently check-in with the guests. The restuarant has a a small cozy feel and was well decorated when I visited a few weeks after the Lunar New Year. There is even a wall of celebrities who have visited! One of the other redeeming qualities is their platter of Chinese candies by the exit. read more

Royal Feast has been my go-to spot for authentic Szechuan food for the past five years. It's so good, I don't mind making a special trip just to dine here. The quality and flavors have remained consistent over time, which is rare. My must-order dishes are the Mapo Tofu, stir-fried cabbage, and the clay pot eggplant with fish--each packed with that bold, signature Szechuan flavor. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, and lately, they've even added some street food items to cater to the lunch crowd, which is a nice touch. While parking in front can be tough, there's additional parking in the back if you don't mind the short walk. The service is surprisingly attentive--better than most Chinese restaurants--and the atmosphere is welcoming to both regulars and newcomers. It's no surprise this place once earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Even with a growing number of non-Chinese diners, Royal Feast has stayed true to its roots and continues to deliver an authentic experience every time. Highly recommended. read more

A solid 3 star restaurant that could be so much more with a renovation. Nine of us came here for dinner on a Friday night. It was pretty empty at 7:30pm. The dining room is a bit dated and is in need of an uplift. The wall fan/air conditioning unit was humming so loudly that someone in my dining party had to ask the server to turn it off. Street parking is available, but can be challenging since the restaurant is on El Camino Real. Now let's get to the most important part of the review, the food! Food was above average and tasty. We liked everything we ordered. The scallion pancake was really good, but tasted a bit gamey as it was probably deep fried in the same oil they used to fry lamb dishes. We ordered the following and would order them all again if we come back. Peking duck - requires advanced reservation (a few hours ahead is sufficient) - the duck comes prepared three ways: peking duck with pancakes, in soup and fried bones cooked in a bean sauce Scallion pancake Chong Qing crispy spicy chicken - bone-in or boneless option (we ordered boneless), but will opt for bone-in next time Beef roll Pork chives dumpling Mapo tofu (their dish is made with minced beef rather than the traditional minced pork) Shredded pork in garlic sauce Sweet & sour crispy pork Dry fried string bean Kung pao chicken Service was average, what you expect from a Chinese restaurant. Servers weren't too friendly but got the job done. We brought our own wine as the corkage fee is only $10 a bottle. read more

Went for Weekday Lunch Special Food - 4/5. Soup had a light broth, fortified by the silky eggs and hints of sourness from the tomatoes. Twice cooked pork had good sear with a nice aroma of scallions and peppers. It had a lot of douchi, which helped season the dish, but the copious amount made it a little too salty. Rice was fluffy and helped balance out the strong flavors of the pork. Service - 4/5. Service was quick and available. They didn't bring out any tea at first, but when asked, responded fast. Value - 5/5. These days $10 for lunch in the area is a rare find. The food quality was good and the portions were fitting for the price. They have a varied selection, and most of their options sticks to the $10 price point. Good value! Parking - Street (Free) read more

Easily one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. I've been coming here for years with my family and they have never once let us down. The chef is renowned in China for his cooking and has brought his talents locally to us. Typically we have a traditional taste; though the Kung pao chicken is incredibly tasty. The lamb and cold apps tend to be our staples. Overall, food is really splendid as we spend most special occasions here. The staff has always been friendly. The building is relatively old but it adds to the experience. Again, if you like spicy food and Chinese food, this place is the hot spot. read more

A regular spot for my family and me to come out to at least once a month! My family and I always start out with the couples delight (beef tripe with beef slices in numbing chili oil) and cucumber salad (kind of a vinegar-like sauce). The couples delight is spicy and the cucumber salad is refreshing! We also always order the cumin lamb and it's probably our favorite dish here. Not too spicy but good flavor. A new favorite for us is the sweet and sour crispy pork. It's a good dish for people who don't want something spicy. My personal favorite dish is the pickled veggie clay pot. It has pickled veggies and your choice of protein, which we usually opt for beef. It has vermicelli noodles and I just think it has great flavor & it's like a whole meal since it has carbs, veggies, and protein! Food here always comes out really fast and the people that work here are really kind. The restaurant itself doesn't really get too busy which is nice because it doesn't get too loud. Overall, this is a great place for Chinese food. They have great Szechuan flavors and I never leave dissatisfied. read more

We came here on Mother's Day for a late lunch after seeing this restaurant featured on YouTube (Check Bay Area), and my mother-in-law had her heart set on duck. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment from start to finish. The restaurant is noticeably dated, and the sticky bathroom floors should've been our warning sign. We were the only customers in the place, yet the service was shockingly bad. We had to repeatedly ask for basic things like water, utensils, and napkins. No one was attentive, and it felt like we were bothering them just by being there. Still, we tried to stay optimistic and hoped the food would make up for it. It didn't. Everything was overly salty, and the duck and vegetables looked and tasted like they'd been sitting around far too long. No one ever came by to refill our water or check on us. We left $250 poorer and incredibly disappointed. Definitely not the experience we wanted for Mother's Day. We won't be back. read more

Royal Feast is a great place to dine and take out, too. The servers are pleasant, friendly, and very attentive.

Great food, nice people! Came on the late side of a Sunday with my teens. They were a bit quiet and s service was very swift and accommodating. My kids are not very adventurous diners so we stuck to some basics but everything was delicious, serves promptly (and piping hot/fresh). We particularly enjoyed the spicy chicken in a basket, and crisp fried mixed noodle, as well as chicken egg-drop soup. Fried green beans had a nice crunch and great flavour without being overcooked/tough (not easy). Definitely will return! Edit - added video of carmelized banana dessert read more

Came here for Saturday lunch and was surprised to find it pretty empty except for one other table, especially given that it's gotten a decent amount of English press over the years (including a Chronicle article). The highlight was probably the duck blood vermicelli soup, which is hard to find. The rendition here was actually pretty tasty and authentic. Royal signature pork feet jelly I didn't love - I found it a bit liquidy at parts. Couple's delight was also not the best rendition I've had. The beef pancake roll was tasty, but again nothing standout. Deep fried lamb leg was pretty tasty, tender flavorful meat. Lamb with scallions was tender but way too oily for me. The space feels dated and a bit depressing - sure most Chinese restaurants aren't that nice, but even compared to other ones in the area, this one still felt dated. read more

Been coming here for years and wow the food HITS. Hands down my favorite Chinese restaurant.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with this place! I always crave the food from here! read more
