Wow!! What a pleasant surprise I had at the Royal Kitchen! I have been eating Dim Sum for over 40 years, I have dined at Dim Sim Restaurants from coast to coast and in BC Canada. I must say I had some of the Best Dim Sum I have ever had! There is no place in Dallas that compares, plus the service was top notch and everything was very clean. I can promise anyone that visits Royal Kitchen they will be very impressed and happy with their meal. I am looking forward to my next visit!! read more

I got takeout. My order was wrong, so I had to go back and get it corrected. The eggplant was 5/10. The eggrolls 5/10. The fried rice tasted old, so 3/10. The fortune cookies were so stale that I immediately spat them out. I won't be returning to this restaurant. read more

The owner, Renee, is the sweetest! She brought me "birthday" dim sum sweet cake, complete with a lit candle, when she found out I was celebrating my birthday. But, she's not just sweet; she's a genius at finding good chefs, so much so that other restaurants have poached three of her previous chefs! Please support her restaurant. She aims to bring only the highest quality food to her customers by hiring talented chefs. She has just hired her fourth talented chef, so go check out her restaurant! I recommend Royal Chicken with Shrimp if you go with your extended family or feel like splurging with just a friend or two. read more

They are a new business. We went in there just passing by. When we entered they were so welcoming and nice. Everything was so clean. We ordered the kung pao shrimp, beef with Chinese broccoli and this delicious hot tea with flowers in it. Forgive me I can't remember the name.of the tea. The food was so delicious. Miss Renee is so unbelievably sweet and wonderful. She made the whole experience there so lovely. I can't wait to take the rest of my family there for dinner. read more

Very friendly staff Food was awesome. I will definitely be back. Nice neighborhood Chinese food. Reasonable prices. read more

My wife (Shanghainese) and I went here for a late lunch yesterday. We were both very impressed. It is a new restaurant which recently opened in central Plano. It's a family style restaurant where you share dishes. It has a pretty spacious interior. The service was quick and friendly. The menu is a combination of authentic Chinese food and American Chinese dishes. They also have a large selection of Dim sum options available, which are ordered from a paper menu. We are very happy to finally find a restaurant in the Plano area that offers good Dim sum. This place is really good. We ordered an assortment of Dim sum, Xiao long Bao, Peking Style Roast Duck, Rice Porridge (Congee) for my wife, and Beef Chow Fun for me. Everything tasted wonderful. The food was fresh and yummy, great quality and flavor, and large portion sizes. My wife really enjoyed the Jasmine Tea we ordered. Highly recommended. We will definitely go back.... read more

We had a wonderful meal. We ordered the Peking duck 3 ways. It was wonderful, the pancakes were so thin and amazing. The hoisin sauce is homemade and is really good. The broccoli chicken was really good, the chicken was tender & moist. Make sure if you want rice or noodles to order them. They do not have alcohol, so bring your own. They do have wine glasses & beer glasses. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was amazing.service was great. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. Best Chinese food I have tried in the area

Delicious food! Especially the salt and pepper tofu and the egg rolls. Great find, will be back!

A Hidden Gem in Plano!!! Food was fresh and FABULOUS! We had tender Beef & Broccoli, Pan Fried Dumplings and Shrimp Wide Noodles!!! I will definately be back!!!! read more

My wife and I ate here 9/4/24 after recommendations from family members. They were RIGHT ON! The food and service were EXCELLENT!! The hot & sour soup was flavorful and hot but not "chunked full of stuff" which is OK....the flavor was incredible. For entrees we had the Mongolian Beef and the Shredded Pork with Spinach. Both were flavorful and plentiful. The appetizer veggie eggrolls were just OK....they were crispy but a little on the doughy side. Everything else were Excellent! We will be back. read more

Food was delicious, especially the seafood tofu. Service was also great. They are so nice. Go now!

Like Authentic Chinese Food? Then you have to give this place a try! We had been looking for a restaurant that had similar services such as Red 8 at the Wynn and the steam pork buns and sesame seed balls are a match and the food is delicious! A must try, we come here when visiting from San Antonio! Service was excellent as well, they made you feel at home! read more

Lunch food portions were large, served hot and tasted good. Service was great and liked the fact you order on an iPad which then sends to kitchen for preparation. Menu choices were large Will return! read more

I came here, after getting a recommendation, but unfortunately, it was easily the worst Dim Sum experience I've had in DFW. It all started off wrong, when I sat down, and was asked to scan a QR code to order. I assumed they just meant to get a menu, which is something I loathe (don't push the cost of menu printing onto your customers having to use their own technology)... But no... It was worse. They actually expected you to create an account and place an order on a website, like you're doing a door dash order. Nope. Not doing it. That's not how a sit down restaurant works. They reluctantly gave me a paper menu, but took forever before some actually took my order, and it was a headache. Once I got my food, 3 of the 4 items I got, were terrible. The beef balls were flavorless, and still a little pink in the middle and didn't come with the sauce that other dim sum restaurants serve with it. My pork and shrimp shu mai didn't appear to have any shrimp in it. My leek and shrimp dumplings were bland, and again I question if there was any shrimp. My BBQ Pork fun rolls were ok on flavor, and I used the sauce on the other bland items to try to save them. And now the price. Most items were $8, and the fun rolls were $9! That's almost double the price of the other Dim Sum places in DFW! In summary , I wonder if their usual chef was out that day, since this place has otherwise good reviews... but between the poor ordering process, the significantly below average flavor, and the extreme pricing, I just cannot recommend this place, and I have no plans to give them another chance. read more

This is a long review; you the reader judge for yourself for this place. The food was ok but the duck was not skinned like other restaurants. I guess they could not bother with the skinning. Also, the whole duck was $78 plus $10 extra for the soup from the duck and $5 extra for another tray of sauce and green onions. So, our duck dish was $93 where it was at most $50 in 2019. I know prices have gone up everywhere but this is ridiculous. Also, the taste of the duck....not extraordinary but rather very ordinary for the ridiculously high price. And extra charge for the soup. Our second big dish was the crab with fried rice. The crab was ok but there was very little fried rice to go with it. And there were filler fried dough bits in the rice. They were gritty and totally ruined the fried rice experience.....why? Is rice that expensive that they have to add fillers? And that's not the worst part; the worst part is the service. Our main server is a mature lady who I think is the owner of the restaurant. Basically, her attitude is "hurry up and eat and get out". One particular incident that just got me so upset( on Xmas eve no less). We had a baby with us and the table was full. After we had all the dishes on the table, there was no room for the iPad that the restaurant provided for ordering, so I set it on the floor because no servers were around to take it. A short while later, the lady came by and said, in a stern tone, for me to pick it up for her. Now, I would pick it up for a server because 1) I put it there 2) I was seated so it would be easier for me than her.....however, her tone was one of demand and looking down on me. Hey, there were reasons why I put it there and she could have been more courteous since she is running the restaurant not me(and we ordered their most expensive dishes. The crab rice was also$78, btw). At the end of our meal, as we were leaving, she demanded that we produce the iPad because it is not on the table. I reminded her that I had to pick it up from the floor a while back and handed it to her....then she demurred and just turned and left. What a bad experience! Ordinary food, high prices, and really rude service by the owner. And in business, we say attitude of your whole team comes from the top. If the owner is this way, then you can imagine what the others on the staff will do. There are plenty of other Chinese restaurants in DFW with duck and crabs much better than this place and at a better price. I hope that the owner will change their ways or I don't think this place is going to survive 2025. read more

I give it 4 stars for the food. Restaurant positioned itself incorrectly, upper scale food but low end decor! Take away Dimsim you can't compete and redecorate. Then you are talking! Otherwise it's difficult to compete. read more

Went here on a spur of the moment. This is a new place and the food was good! Bonus-everyone who served us was very nice. I am one of those people who is always nervous about trying new places. Glad I did. read more

Had a very pleasant time here. The owners were very sweet and nice. The Roujjama (sp?) I've never had before and was delicious. Flaky pancake with a braised beef filling. Nothing was too salty and everything tasted fresh. Will definitely come again! read more

Royal Kitchen never disappoints! I have never eaten the same thing twice and am amazed at the quality of the food. I first attended for the Asian New Year and it is now my go-to Chinese restaurant. I plan on trying everything on the menu. The ambiance is relaxing. Great for families, groups or dining alone. There are great options for all, whether vegetarian or meat eater. Sorry no pics but I was so hungry and scarfed down the food as soon as it arrived. Even the teas are exceptional. Had the chrysanthemum tea tonight but love the hibiscus as well. As the owner for a menu recommendation. You will not be disappointed. read more

Delicious food with great service. We can't wait to go back next week! Highly recommended!

This was our first visit. The food was wonderful and steaming hot when it arrived. The staff is lovely as well.

Delicious food, kind and friendly owners/staff. We enjoyed everything we ordered and had a great time!

My wife and I tried Royal Kitchen for the first time last week and we really liked it. The owner and staff were very friendly, the food was served quickly and the portions were large. The food was excellent, we ordered two main dishes: vegetarian eggplant and beef noodles. Also had egg rolls (very fresh!) and dim sum buns for dessert. Will definitely come back to try some other dishes. read more

Just finished eating here and it was fantastic! It's all the dim sum flavors we're used to and very authentic too. Definitely recommend! It's clean, comfortable, and the staff is very accommodating and attentive. Give it a try, you won't regret it. read more

We stopped by for a late lunch yesterday and ordered two lunch specials Kung Pao chicken and shredded pork. Both dishes were very tasty. Comparing with other places, the portion of food here were big. We could not even finish them. The waiter was also very nice and patient. We definitely will recommend this restaurant and come back later. read more

Flat noodles with beef was fantastic. Chicken fried rice was delicious! Great food and experience. Will definitely be coming back!

We went there once and fell in love with the food my granddaughter goes to a place near there and was staying late so she bought some food I'd like to express how clean the place was and beautifully decorated very clean too! The staff are so nice and the owner is funny and sweet the service was great and very quick to get food. The fried rice was cooked well and fresh lots of chicken and egg, their soup dumplings were delicious perfectly steamed.

Just visited today, and the food was very good and tasted authentic. Will definitely come back! Give the place a try, they need your support! read more

Way better than Kirin Court and Golden Joy! We love Dim Sum but have not yet to find a decent one in Dallas. Finally! We love everything we ordered was so fresh and clean, great customer service as well. Dim sum was made to order and was worth the wait! I'm so glad we found our new dim sum spot that is so great and delicious! This is what we don't have in Dallas is a great Dim Sum place and I'm so glad we found this hidden gem! read more

I believe this restaurant has changed owner recently. The food is NOT good. We ordered 4 dishes and 3 of them tasted bad, either overcooked or undercooked. read more

I came here with my Chinese GF. We both love dim sum but the food here was inedible. Neither of enjoyed even a single dish. Quality really needs work. Stay far away! read more

I've visited twice, and had an excellent experience both times. The food was great, and the portion sizes were generous. I had the beef flat noodles and eggplant in garlic sauce, which were delicious. Our servers were very attentive. One of my friends asked in Chinese for a certain dish which wasn't even on the menu. No problem! They made it for him, and it was also delicious. The ambiance kinda reminded me of a multi colored jigsaw puzzle. I think a bamboo curtain at the doorway instead of the plastic strips would be very cool. read more

You know things can't get any Better when the owner, Renee, comes by before and after the meal to be sure Everything is/was Wonderful. I was the lone old fat white guy at my table of Chinese friends. We had one of almost everything. Large hot and Yummy portions. It was Definitely worth our drives from Dallas and Lucas. Looking forward to our next visit !! read more
