Royal Sichuan is located in Richardson's Chinatown, which is super convenient if you're in the area. The food is okay -- some dishes are better than others, but nothing really stands out. Unfortunately, the service here leaves a lot to be desired. It's extremely slow, and the staff feels unorganized and unprofessional. Be prepared to wait quite a while for both ordering and getting your food, even when it's not busy. read more

We came here after my cousin's engagement to have dinner with the whole extended family. We had almost 40 people in our party, and they had our tables all ready when we entered and were very quick when serving us. We ordered a ton of food, from the dishes we ordered: LOVED: Fried chicken with red chili , Kung pao chicken, veggie fried rice (asked them to make it spicy), eggplant with garlic sauce, Dan Dan noodles Good: Chicken lo mein, sizzling black pepper chicken (flavor was good but a bit oily for me), sichuan string bean, Mapo tofu, scallion pancake Probably won't order again: shrimp dumplings We also had the hot jasmine tea which was good as well. Our server was so great and truly added to the experience. The ambiance was nice with cute decorations around. All in all, this is a great restaurant and I would come back if I'm back in the area. read more

Twice Cooked Pork, Homestyle Tofu, Eggplant Not bad at all, pretty solid meal. Tofu and eggplant dishes were done well. I will say though, if you're looking for a great twice cooked pork, definitely go to Genroku, nothing quite compares! read more

Came here for dinner before heading to DAL. Our rental car dropoff was nearby, and we were hungry. Ordered a variety of dishes. The waitress was extremely patient and helpful with giving us recommendations. Portion size and price is good. Food tastes marvelous and was very fresh. We had a great time and would be happy to come back if we are ever in the area again. read more

Was planning on going to Jen Chi, but the wait was too long so we came here. And happy that we did. The first time, we got the twice cooked pork with leeks which was very good, and the Kung Pao chicken also very good. I had ordered it mildly spicy and as my waitress put it on the table she noted that it looked like it was extra spicy and indeed it was. She took it back immediately and got a new batch which was perfect. It was very good as well. The egg rolls are very very tasty and the spicy oil dumplings are delicious. We came back 2 weeks later because we liked it so much. This time we got the BLACK PEPPER BEEF and let me tell you this was AMAZING . The beef is so tender and generous and it's almost addictively good and not too peppery at all. I also wanted some baby bok choy but I don't like mushrooms which is how it is on the menu and the waitress suggested the bok choy with garlic sauce and it was just delicious, lovely and light and complimented the protein dishes very well. We got the garlic chicken and it as well was good but the black pepper beef won hands down. My son both times got chicken fried rice which which was he loved. Both times the chef was a bit too generous with the oil in his wok, but I didn't care because everything is so delicious I'll forgive that. And actually it probably added to it's yumminess. The bathrooms and the restaurant is clean, the wait staff is friendly, and the place isn't crazy busy or crowded like Jen Chi. They do charge an extra dollar for your side of white rice and a $1.50 for your side of fried rice but I think a lot of places do that these days so I'll forgive that too because their prices are pretty good overall. I think I found my new Chinese restaurant in Chinatown in Richardson. After you eat you have to swing by 85 c Bakery a few store down for a salted caramel latte ( or one of many teas, bobas, and smoothies like the Pina colada) and one of their wonderful baked pastries and desserts. Great date night even if I've been married for 20 years read more

I don't care what yelp has to say regarding this place-- it is FIRE. Best Szechuan food in Dallas. Combination fried rice, no shrimp, phenomenal, flavorful, medium spice, perfect. Sizzling pepper beef, GIRL, peppery goodness that comes out HOT. Food comes out quick. Decently priced. Full of flavor. Everything you'd want in a solid Chinese food meal. My go to for a Chinese food craving that needs to be satisfied. If you're coming to a Chinese restaurant expecting service to ask you how your day is and yada yada, then bye-- this is not your spot. If you're coming to have your drink full and refilled everytime, minimal convo, and quick service, yes-- this is the spot and I'd take that all day everyday over fluff. read more

This is an authentic Sichuan restaurant. The chestnut and pork belly is delightful, the dumplings are good. The cumin lamb is tasty, but arrived a bit cold to our table. We were charged for rice with entrees, which I know is a growing practice but really puts me off a place because it's so essential (would you charge extra for rice at Chipotle? For the bread on your sandwich? It's the same idea). The indoor decor is cute/classy with Chinese elements. Our server was a young woman who behaved a bit oddly to me, speaking with other guests in Chinese but only speaking to me in English despite me initiating dialogue in Chinese when she seated us or took our order. Maybe it's because I look more Chinese-American or came with someone non-Chinese, but I felt strangely singled out and it was not the "taste of home" experience I had initially sought. read more

Not sure if there was a change in chefs but today's meal was horrendous. I didn't get a photo due to the pure shock and disgust but I ordered my typical order and found a piece of steel wool in my food. This is absolutely irresponsible of the chef and their kitchen regulation. It is absolutely unacceptable as steel wool ingested could have major gastrointestinal implications. The owner must be careful to emphasize not using steel wool to clean pots that will be used prior to make food. I will not be back and greatly disappointed in the regulation of food safety in this place. They did cook me a new bowl of my order but after seeing the piece of steel wool I could not eat it. Old lady apologized profusely but did claim that "accidents happen." This is not an accident but a major flaw in preparation. No I didn't receive a discount for this experience either and was charged full price. 不确定厨师是否换了，但今天的饭菜太糟糕了。由于纯粹的震惊和厌恶，我没有拍照，但我点了我的典型订单，并在我的食物中发现了一块钢丝绒。这绝对是对厨师及其厨房管理的不负责任。这是绝对不可接受的，因为摄入钢丝绒可能会对胃肠道产生严重影响。业主必须小心强调，不要使用钢丝绒来清洁在制作食物之前使用的锅具。我不会回来并对这个地方的食品安全监管感到非常失望。他们让我重新煮一碗我点的菜，但看到那块钢丝绒后我就吃不下去了。老太太连连道歉，但也声称"发生了意外"。这并非偶然，而是准备工作中的重大缺陷。不，我也没有获得这次体验的折扣，而是支付了全价。 read more

I took my mom here recently and we both loved it!! My family has been going to Royal Sichuan for years. Here's what we ordered: Pan fried buns - dough is fluffy and very tasty! I liked how both the tops and bottoms are fried. The dipping sauce complemented everything nicely. Unfortunately though, there wasn't much filling inside the buns, but the small amount that Was there was delicious. Black pepper beef - extremely tender and flavorful pieces of beef. It comes sizzling on a hot plate. My mom and I couldn't have enough; it was that good!! Shrimp Lo Mein - I liked the choice of noodle that was used and the flavor was great. I would pick a different protein next time just because the shrimps were small and I didn't taste the wok-hei. Fish in tofu pot w/ cayenne - this is my mother's favorite dish to order at Sichuan restaurants. The tofu and fish are both delightfully tender. Soup also has great flavor but actually isn't that spicy. I've never had something from here I didn't like. Royal Sichuan is my favorite Sichuan restaurant in DFW and would highly recommend! read more

We have an adventurous lunch group at work and Royal Sichuan was our latest stop. This place is definitely one you should do family style. We ordered too much food as usual and it was about $17/person. Pan fried bun - 3/5 stars. This a Shanghai dish and the ones I've had there are far better. The bun texture was a bit heavy and the pork filling wasn't anything special. I probably wouldn't order this one again. Sliced Fish with Rattan Pepper - I had to didn't know what a Rattan pepper was but it's just a Sichuan pepper. This dish is tilapia chunks in a light broth with mushrooms and plenty of peppercorns. Healthy and light! Be warned that the pepper will affect your sense of taste and this is normal! Eggplant with Garlic Sauce - 4.5/5 stars. This dish is always good anywhere I've gotten it and Royal Sichuan is no exception. Mapo Tofu - 4/5 stars. I've had more flavorful renditions elsewhere but still good. I think it could have benefitted from more spice/heat. Spicy Dumplings - 3.5/5. I thought the wrappers could have been more tender. They ate more like reheated leftover dumplings. Dan Dan Noodles - 5/5 No complaints about this one! The noodles had a great toothsome texture and ground pork added saltiness and fat. We'll be back! read more

Royal Sichuan - Chinese Near Me - Richardson, Texas

We went here with friends for a Saturday night dinner and I must say the food experience was really disappointing. I ordered vegetable egg rolls and they had an overwhelmingly strong flavor of old oil. They were probably the worst egg rolls I ever had. I had the garlic chicken and it was supposed to be spicy but it was not spicy in the least, and there was only a hint of garlic flavor. The wife's black bean beef was not good quality as most of the beef had lots of gristle. The steamed dumplings, which we had hoped would be a starter, were served about three-quarters of the meal and were mediocre at best. We were not served rice and had to ask for it and it came with the dumplings when we had already been eating the entrees for a while. The only good dish was lamb with cumin, ordered by the other couple. My wife loves lamb and loved this dish. Given the row of restaurant choices in China town, this place needs to step up its game if it wants to compete. read more

I am a regular here and I've been going here for 5+ years. They have a HUGE selection of authentic Sichuan food that is unforgettably delicious. Anything in their fiery sauce is mouthwatering. The dumpling sauce is to die for. Dan Dan noodles are the best! And if you're feeling adventurous, they have exotic options like frog and intestines that are worth a shot. read more

I am SO obsessed with this place! We go here every weekend for their #N12 soup. Yes, I know it's been 10,000 degrees outside forever, but I don't care. Give me their hot, spicy soup on Mars, and I'll be happy! There really is no better place for the menudo soup with hand-drawn noodles. The flavor is second to none. The price is incredibly cheap, and the portion is huge. If you stop by, say hi to Lee. I love her so much. She always remembers our order and is so lovely and sweet. I literally count down the weekdays until I can get my butt up here and have a cheat meal! read more

I think they merge with another chinese restaurant next to it. Coworkers got together and had a group lunch here. Eggplant garlic sauce was delicious. We ordered this spicy lamb dish that was also yummy. We ordered braised pork but would skip that next time, it was the least of our favorites. read more

This place seems to have absorbed Sichuan King during the 2020 pandemic. It's now called Royal Sichuan & Sichuan King. I've been a huge fan of Sichuan King but I immediately realized the merger have caused the price of every single item in the menu to go up considerably. Perhaps it's also because of covid? Maybe. I've always had an issue with paying extra just for rice there but now the price doesn't seem to be justified even more. I would contend that the food taste is still great. However for average of $15 per dinner dish, I expected a bit more food. Their very delicious sauces are too saucy. It actually doesn't keep the food hot enough for long enough when there's too much sauce. That said, I still recommend the establishment since it is pretty authentic Chinese food. Probably still the most authentic in the plaza. read more

This place is awesome! A hole in the wall with amazing Chinese food. Try the egg plant. The green beans. Zong's spicy dumpling.

Not bad Chinese restaurant. Although it appeared little from the outside, the interior was decent and roomy. The service is ok, but because they aren't very attentive, you really need to call their attention when you want to order, pay, or have any other type of query. Even though there weren't many tables set up while we were there, service was sluggish as a result. Overall, the food was pretty delicious! Inform them if you have any reservations about spice. Before ordering, be mindful that the foods are spicy as is typical of this culinary type, and be sure to let them know if you prefer mild. Overall food was quite good and portions were size able as they are family style, but would probably do takeout from here on out! read more

I absolutely LOVE the food here. I haven't had a miss. Their food is a bit more authentically Chinese so if you're into the westernized version, this place could be a hit or miss. It could also be more spicy, but I love the kick the spice adds. Some dishes I recommend is: Beef noodle soup: love the flavor! Love the texture of the noodle! Pan fried buns: love the crispness of the bottom of the buns. Love the flavor. Not happy about the bun absorbing the broth if you wait too long to eat it so eat it soon after it comes out They are slower in their service hence the loss of a star but if you're not in a rush, they are well worth the wait. read more

Inconspicuous is this nice and casual Sichuan restaurant. Pleasantly surprised of this find. Hooked I am with their seafood on this first visit. With their skillful usage of flower peppers, a perfect balance of heat and spiciness there was to their amazing "Steamed Fish with Chili Sauce". And, delicious was their "Stirred Fried Pea Shoots"; well cooked paid bowls of "White Rice"; and, okay was their take on "Dan Dan Noodles". With cold nights coming, judging from this Friday night, at a whim, without any wait for a table, having great service, &, hungry for spicy fish, here I'll be. CHEERS! read more

Located in Richardson's Chinatown strip mall, this restaurant doesn't stand out from the dark tinted windows on the outside. Once inside, I found the interior very inviting because of the lovely carved wood decor, well-placed red lanterns, and Chinese wall art and framed photography. Seating varied between large round tables with lazy susans that can serve groups and smaller tables and booths that can seat four or fewer. Come here for a late lunch to avoid the crowd. Before 2:30 pm, the lunch menu prices are available and the quality and quantity of food for the price is a smoking deal! My waitress asked me if I wanted ice with my water. I said it wasn't necessary, so I ended up with lukewarm tap water which I found odd. I guess I expected cold water, just no ice. LOL! Thankfully my refill included some ice and the water was much cooler. Soup came with my meal to my surprise. It was quite flavorful and steaming hot! Cold water would have been nice at this point to cool off my tongue and the roof of my mouth. My General's Chicken plate was loaded with big chunky white pieces of chicken that were lightly breaded with a fluffy fried covering. The flavor was not quite what I was hoping for because the spices had not had time to blend. The little red peppers were mostly whole and rubbery when chewed, and not hot and spicy at all. There were a few pieces of broccoli florets, bell pepper slices and onions bits. I always wish for more veggies to balance out the meat, but an 85/15 ratio of meat to veggies is probably what most people expect. A bowl of white rice was included with my meal. My appetizer showed up as I was finishing my chicken lunch. I thought perhaps the waitress had forgotten or confused my request for egg rolls with soup, but I guess the delay was cooking them. They were delicious. The best part was paying less than $11 for all of this food and getting in and out of the restaurant in a very short time. The waitresses were quick to seat, serve and check me out. They do accept credit cards, but not American Express. I would definitely consider coming here again for lunch, especially since the prices and portions are so good. read more

Yummy yummy in my tummy! I really liked their eggplant and their seasonal veggies. The rice is good quality; nice and fluffy too. And they serve it by the bowl so gotta request when u want another bowl of fresh rice. (I believe it's $1/ bowl if I'm not mistaken). And for the time being, their updated hours are: 11:00am-3:00pm 4:00pm-8/9pm* *if they aren't busy they close have to earlier. So make sure to call be4 u head over. All and all, it's a great place to dine and get out of this summer heat as they blast their AC so it was nice and cold. Nice comfy booths to sit @ too. I'll be back forsure. read more

This was the first place I've had Szechuan food and had a terrible experience because I was not used to the Szechuan peppercorn. Now 10+ years later, I must apologize for my ignorance back then. I've eaten multiple Szechuan places and now really appreciate the peppercorn flavor. It really takes time to develop a liking for it. Now, if a Szechuan place don't have peppercorn in the dish, it's not good. Their fish in chili oil is pretty good. The fish is fresh and soft and had a lot of fish. Some of the food was on a bit salty side, but overall the taste is good. read more

Everything I have had here has been delicious. And they will make it really spicy hot if you ask. Best hot and sour soup I have ever had- really hearty. A few odd things: the dining room is somewhat elegant, but the noise level is more like a diner. Very loud customers. Dishes being loudly tossed into bins while cleaning tables. And that incessant doorbell will drive you nuts. Somebody kill that thing! And nothing kills "elegance" more than a big screen TVs with the news playing. At least put on a food or travel channel! read more

Very good menu offering lots of good normal menu items along with some unique food. we've been several times over past months and enjoyed lunch and dinner items - lamb / kung pao / shrimp - prepared fresh - we were excited to find seafood fresh and enjoyable.

We ordered this to go today. This cost around 20 dollars and there were 10 pieces of meat. This would be an average of 2 dollars per piece. This is a ridiculous cost. Additionally the food was ready in less than 2 minutes, which is suspiciously fast. Additionally this tasted much worse than other similar dishes we have tasted in the past. Would do 0 stars if able. read more

OK. I'm sure that I am WAY late to the game when it comes to the collection of Asian restaurants in Richardson's "DFW China Town Shopping Mall" at Greenville and Jackson St., just across the DART tacks, but this is a great place to explore - and it's way easier to get to than East Asia. I particularly love The Royal Sichuan Restaurant. The decor is super down to earth and authentic. The food is excellent. "Mushrooms in Iron Pot" is ecstasy. There is a nice "mala" flavor to the Dan Dan noodles that is hard to find elsewhere in Dallas. If you are not familiar with "mala", it is a spicy, numbing, vibrating flavor that comes from the Sichuan peppercorn. I mean, Panda Express is OK if your at the mall, but this is the real thing. GET IN YOUR CAR AND GO THERE TONIGHT. read more
