    Duck with cucumber salad in the foreground
    April A.

    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!

    Great food, some of the best Chinese food you can find in Dallas! Peking duck is on par with NYC (super authentic, the owner is from Beijing) and all of their dishes are such high quality and large portions! This place deserves a lot of love, it's truly a hidden gem.

    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.

    duck
    Amanda L.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    我很喜欢这家的烤鸭,烤鸭都是新鲜做出来的,鸭皮特别脆,一点都不油腻,很好吃。 其他的菜分量也很大,酸辣土豆丝还有葱爆羊肉味道也不错,推荐推荐。这边的停车场也很大,老板和其他服务员都很友好,是一次很好的体验!

    Great vibes, beautiful art, friendly staff and beautifully presented food…read more Soup dumplings are always a win in my book - I enjoyed these. The mapo tofu was more soupy than I'm used to which made it a different type of spice. I've had mapo tofu many times before and I think this will be better enjoyed by people who are always wanting spicy food

    I'd been seeing Hong Yuan all over social media, especially their hand-pulled noodles, so I finally…read moredecided to give this family-owned spot in Plano a try. It's one of those local restaurants that doesn't need flashy décor to stand out--the food is the main attraction. We ordered a variety of dishes so we could get a good feel for the menu, and surprisingly, the dishes I was most excited about weren't my favorites. The Beef Roll completely stole the show. The beef was incredibly tender, wrapped in a flaky pancake with fresh herbs and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite had a great balance of texture and flavor. If you're visiting for the first time, this is the one dish I wouldn't skip. Another standout was the Eggplant with Garlic Sauce. I know eggplant isn't everyone's first choice, but this dish might change your mind. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, soaking up the garlic sauce without becoming mushy. It's listed as spicy, but I found it to be mild, which actually let the garlic flavor come through even more. The Beef & Celery Dumplings were another solid choice. The filling was juicy, the celery added a nice freshness, and they were exactly what I was hoping for from a homemade dumpling. We also ordered the Dry-Fried Green Beans, and they were a great addition to the table. They had a nice bite, were well-seasoned, and paired well with the richer dishes without stealing the spotlight. Now for what might be an unpopular opinion--the Hand-Pulled Noodles. They're one of the restaurant's most talked-about dishes online, and honestly, they were the reason I came. Unfortunately, they just didn't live up to the hype for me. That doesn't mean you shouldn't order them--taste is subjective--but if I were coming back tomorrow, I'd spend my money on the Beef Roll and Eggplant instead. Overall, I'm glad I gave Hong Yuan a try. It's easy to see why locals enjoy this place, and I appreciate supporting a family-owned restaurant that's been serving the community. While the noodles didn't win me over, the Beef Roll, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, and Beef & Celery Dumplings were more than enough to make me want to come back and explore more of the menu.

WOW! The braised okra with giant oyster mushroom positively SURPRISED and leap frogged to the top of my preferred vegetable GOTOs...The cumin lamb was SO tender and VERY flavorful. One of the best preparations yet. The Singapore noodle combo and Xao Long Bao did not disappoint... More importantly, the service we received was attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, and prompt. Sadly, the eggplant with garlic sauce is the ONLY reason a star is withheld for this review...it detracted from traditional Chinese style; notes of garlic eviscerated by the chef's sweetening to satisfy an American palette...Why fix something that's unbroken?...I get it. The restaurant has to cater to its customers who populate this mix use (business/lease residential) area at the NW corner of Alma and Hwy 121, but doesn't that limit its draw? Guess we'll just have to head either further south on Central (HWY 75) to the Legacy & Spring Creek areas or further west to the Preston and Warren Pkwy Frisco TX area to satisfy our authentic Chinese cuisine food cravings.

But the reviews were suspiciously glowing, so curiosity (and hunger) won. We pulled up and I took one look at the building: older, unremarkable, zero curb appeal. Classic "meh." Inside, several large round tables with lazy Susans, red tablecloths, and Chinese lanterns. They first sat us in a booth but I requested later on to be moved to a large round table since we ordered A LOT. But back to when we first sat in the booth - As a Chinese woman, the second I spotted the older seats with ripped upholstery, it hit me like a culinary prophecy: this place was going to serve me some incredible, authentic Chinese food. I don't know what it is, but there's an inverse law of Chinese restaurants: the less fancy the exterior (and the more the booth looks like it's survived several natural disasters), the better the food. Apparently they skip Instagram-worthy renovations and put the budget where it belongs--on the plate! This is now hands down in my top 3 favorite Chinese restaurant in North Dallas - I can even say it's on the very top. I haven't forgotten about the staff. They deserve 10 stars. Super nice!
