    Duck
    Kevin P.

    The food was great. Service was amazing. The waitress was super kind and very positive. The ambiance was traditional, a place that focuses more on the food than the restaurant. Other than that, I'd come back again.

    We drove 45 minutes to try royal kitchen and it was worth it. We wanted duck and the last few places we had it did not turn out well so we decided on royal kitchen. The duck was amazing and carved table side. The rest of the food we ordered (a lot lol) was fantastic as well. It's simple inside and you order from an iPad which seemed weird at first but it's nice to see pictures of the food before you order. This place really reminded me of the Chinese restaurants of my youth in the 70s. Super friendly Chinese family running the operation and it shows in the food. We will definitely be back!

    duck

    We went on Thanksgiving so maybe that's why service was so spotty. We got a good mix of dishes like peaking duck with the baos, chasu baos, scallion pancakes, beef stir fry noodles, spicy clams, got the stir fry duck bones and combination fried rice. The duck is actually really good. The baos aren't that great but the pancakes are pretty solid. The scallion pancakes are just okay (lowkey TJ scallion pancakes are better). Chasu buns are probably the worst ones I've had. The dough isn't cooked all the way and the meat isn't super flavorful. Beef stir fry was so so, kinda missing was depth of flavor/spice. Chile oil doesn't save it. Spicy clams were okay. The clams themselves were super tasty but I wasn't a fan of the sauce. Fried rice is okay and duck bones flavor is decent but a little too salty. Plain rice was dry. Overall not bad but wouldn't return. The baos, duck sauce with the scallion and cucumber (needed more scallions and more cucumber) were 10 dollars and 5 dollars (respectively) extra which is criminal. Duck should come with all the fixings. The duck bones stir fry was another 10.

    The place is clean and spacious, and service is decent. However, very Overpriced dishes compared to its portion. $43.99 for a small dry pot frog leg, not worth it at all. The beijing roast duck is just so-so, the meat is kinda dry and lean. It also lacks flavor, all the flavor comes from the sauce on the side. I will probably not drive 30 minutes to dine there again.

    Pepper sauce beef tenderloin (super tough not beef tenderloin)
    Emily T.

    The place is new and clean but the table were not wiped down properly. Very limited Din Sum options. The one we did order were not eddible. (Frozen and re-heated but was not all the way) We ended up only taking a bite and leaving the rest un-touched. At over $6 a dim sum dish I expected to at least be able to eat it. We also order the tenderloin beef with pepper sauce which tasted ok. The sauce was good but the beef was definitely not tenderloin. It was tough and chew. low quality meat soaked in baking soda to tender. Definitely do not recommend this over priced spot.

    pecking duck
    Haoxin L.

    Local Beijing-er here! I would give it as the best pecking duck I ever had in the states. Truly authentic 北京人认证目前全美最好吃的烤鸭,才58一只,虽然要等他们现烤,但真的很值得。太地道了,大伯大婶也都是老北京,人很实在,强推爱吃烤鸭的姐妹来!

    We came to try the peking duck and it was good!!!!pork pao bun's bread was so soft and served warm. Braised Pork belly had tender pork and had the five spice flavor. Lastly we had the yangzou fried rice which to me was just regular fried rice because it had spam in it and was missing the flovor compared to others i have tried. Then the shrimp fried rice was something i could have had by itself because of a smokey flavor.

    Sliced duck

    The only place I will go in DFW area for Peking Duck from now until I keel over. It is beyond delicious and they do it right. They cut it in front of you, and serve the first few skin pieces with sugar. SO GOOD. The duck always has the right proportions of crispy skin to fat to meat. You also get the option to do what you want with the duck bones-- either duck soup (which is SO good and comforting and makes a great leftover meal if you pair with vermicelli), seasoned bones, or just take the bones home. We always get the Roselle tea (herbal and a little sweet, flavor is great). We love the fish fillets with tofu in chili oil. And for my favorite dessert, I recommend the Tianjiu. So good! We come maybe twice a month at this point and I bring all my friends.

    Beijing dunk

    This place serves the best Beijing dunk in DFW, and they cut it in front of you! Also, I highly recommend the hand-pull cabbage with pork in a dry pot. You can fry the cabbage in the pot and taste the "Wok Hei". This is the 2nd time I came to this place for the duck and cabbage!

    Scallion Exploded Lamb
    Tom L.

    We came in around noon and the restaurant was completely empty. The previous Hunan restaurant here has since changed into Royal Kitchen - they specialize in serving Beijing-style cuisine that's commonly enjoyed by royalty (i.e. Royal Kitchen). I'm pretty sure this is the first of this type in DFW. The restaurant is still large and every table can seat 5+. They only have a digital menu on tablet which is also how you order. The menu is available in both Chinese and English. Some dishes must be reserved ahead of time due to limited availability such as the Spicy Hot Pot (麻辣香锅). We didn't know this when we visited, but the chef was still able to make the dish for us despite not calling ahead. So, when in doubt, just ask! Rice costs $2 per bowl. We ordered Scallion Exploded Lamb (老北京葱爆羊肉), Seafood with Japanese Tofu (铁板海鲜玉子豆腐), Roujiamo (肉夹馍), and the Spicy Hot Pot (麻辣香锅). The scallion lamb was almost amazing - the lamb was super soft and tender, but the dish was a little too salty. The tofu dish was okay - the Japanese tamago (egg) tofu was soft and flavorful, but pretty normal overall. The Roujiamo wasn't really a Roujiamo, it was more like a 肉大饼. The spicy hot pot was absolutely amazing - I completely understand why you should order ahead. There was a lot of variety in ingredients and each one was top of the line freshness, flavor, and spice. I'll definitely come back to try the rest of their order-ahead dishes. One thing to note was that they give pretty big portions and the prices were fairly appropriate for the value given. Our party of 3 paid a total of $88 dollars before tip and we probably only ate half of our order.

    Stir Fried Pork Tripe with Cilantro (香菜炒肚丝)
    Ellie Z.

    Royal Kitchen in Plano, TX is a great no-frills Chinese restaurant. We ordered the Stir Fried Pork Tripe with Cilantro (香菜炒肚丝), Vegetarian Cauliflower in Dry Pot (干锅花菜(全素)), Beef Flat Noodle (干炒牛河), and Beijing Roast Duck (北京烤鸭). I highly recommend all the dishes we tried! I loved the stir-fried pork tripe with cilantro. The cilantro and the scallions perfectly complemented the savory, juicy pork tripe. The flavor of this dish was also very "authentic" and reminded me of comforting home-cooked Chinese food. Don't let the tripe scare you-- it's got a great chew and is very common in Chinese cooking. I also loved the Cauliflower in a Dry Pot. This dish was definitely a bit spicy so beware if you have a lower spice tolerance. The tender cauliflower soaked up all the aromatic spices and flavorful oils of the dish. The cabbage, green bell peppers, and scallions were all perfect additions! I will say that the dish is very oily and greasy-feeling which isn't the best (but this fragrant and spicy oil contributes to making the overall dish delicious). The Beef Flat Noodle was your standard stir-fried beef with flat noodles. Savory, with very tender beef slices, and oily flat noodles. I do think that this dish could've used a bit more salt. Finally, the Beijing Roast Duck was delicious. The duck came with some thin pancakes, sweet bean sauce (aka Tian Mian Jiang/甜面酱), scallions, and cucumbers. It's always so fun making little Peking duck pancakes with the sauce, vegetables, and duck slices. I would recommend adding an order of the pancake and the sweet bean sauce because you definitely will need more of it given how much duck you get! The roasted duck itself had very crispy yet fatty skin and juicy meat. At the end of the meal, you can also ask for the duck bones to be made into a soup with cabbage and tofu (for $10 extra). This soup was so flavorful and comforting! I highly highly recommend getting both the roast duck and the soup!

    I always see and smell this restaurant, and was finally able to make it in. Small and cozy, with…read morethe nicest servers! Food came out super fast, and was hot and delicious. We almost ordered noodles but the server steered us in a different direction (citing we may not like it as it is culturally different) and we appreciated that! Everything we ordered was very good... soup dumplings, moo shu pork, kung pao chicken, and Wok-Fried Beef Flat Noodle Definitely recommend!

    We have dined at this location often over the last five years. Our recent visit (yesterday…read moreevening)was less than satisfying. We were seated ( party of four)next to a larger table in the corner of the restaurant. When we ordered, they only took our appetizer order and we had to wait a long period of time before they would take our entree order. During this time, a large table next to us filled up with 6 people who were making so much noise that our table could not even hear each other's conversation.The larger table occupants were loud, rude , and obnoxious. We asked our waitress to do something and the wait staff ignored our request to intervene on our behalf for calmer demeanor from them. Finally , someone from my table had to address this personally and confronted the loud group and asked if they could tone down their enthusiasm so we, and other patrons, could enjoy our evening at the restaurant. They only cut the noise for a few minutes and started again with the loud voices and over boisterous laughter . We were greatly disappointed with the staff and the overall establishment. We normally have a nice dinner with the attentive wait staff and enjoy our menu choices. Because our concerns were not addressed, we don't feel respected and wonder if we will dine again here.
