    Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup, Crispy chicken wings (8), eggroll
    Milynda P.

    This restaurant is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. I would recommend this restaurant for the delicious food. Every time I have ate here, there has been plenty of pick up orders but not a lot of people dining in. We always choose to dine in and the food always comes out fresh, hot, and quick. We have had the whole restaurant to ourselves two times in a row which is nice for a quiet dinner. The people who work here always are very nice and welcoming, even super funny! Hidden gem for great quality food and taste! I always order the honey walnut prawns and make it a dinner combo. The plate is served with 8 large battered prawns, with a delicious sauce. The batter at this restaurant alone is worth trying. The pork fried rice is very flavorful, smokey, and hard to stop eating. My partner always gets their spicy chicken noodle soup which is packed with veggies. The chicken wings are battered and very crunchy, would highly recommend. It's mine and my boyfriends new date night spot.

    This place is one of my favorite restaurants. The food is delicious and the portions are really big for a great price. The potstickers are definitely my favorite. It's a nice quiet place.

    Once again, we had a great dinner here. We always get friendly and engaging service and tasty food. We look forward to our next visit. The chow fun was a nice dish. My mom loves the honey Walnut prawns.

    I like to write reviews when I detect issues that people should be aware of. It's around 1 o'clock. They have a lunch special that goes till three. So I ordered an item on the lunch special which is about 10 bucks. And then I look at the receipt because I'm getting this to go. And it's 17 bucks. But that includes tax. I guess I should've checked first, that she was going to give me the lunch special. But she charged me the full dinner price. So I asked why is it so much & because I didn't specify that I wanted the lunch not the dinner she gave me the higher costing item. I did request brown rice. She told me that the lunch would not come with brown rice. So I would've had to cancel my order and re-order it again, and probably pay extra for brown rice. I did not want to deal with the hassle. But it also makes one frustrated. When one goes to restaurants and they have two different prices for the same item. And we one goes there during lunch and they charge you for dinner? One good point is the food is good. Normal Chinese American cooking. It's kind of a small portion. It will be what I would expect to get for lunch. So to pay extra for a dinner when I wanted lunch? In my opinion $17 is too much for this.

    Royal China is my go-to Chinese spot…read more It's really close to my house, which is a huge bonus, but honestly I'd still go here even if it wasn't. The food quality is great every single time. We've ordered a lot from here, and I can't think of anything we didn't like. If I had to pick a favorite, it's probably the hot and sour soup. It's a perfect combination of hot to sour ratio. I've had it in a lot of places, and they just get it right every time. The string bean chicken is also one of my favorites. It's very flavorful, and the green beans are very fresh and cooked perfectly. We also really like the asparagus chicken, Mongolian chicken, walnut prawns, moo shu chicken, and the potstickers. My wife loves the sweet and sour chicken, and my daughter is all about the wonton soup. What's funny is we've never actually sat down and eaten there. I always say we're going to, but usually when we're in the mood for Chinese food, we just want to take it home. Every time I go in though, the place looks really nice and has a great vibe. We've just gotten into the habit of doing pickup. At this point it's just kind of our default. When we're in the mood for Chinese food, this is where we end up.

My most recent trip there with my in-laws was great. We ordered the Mongolian beef, fried rice, and chow mein. Everything was really fresh and the food came out really fast.

    We were visiting from San Jose and stumbled across this place, and what a gem it turned out to be!…read more The food was absolutely delicious--comforting, flavorful, and reminiscent of the classic Chinese restaurants many of us grew up loving. Every dish tasted fresh and well-prepared, and the portions were incredibly generous, making it a great value as well. What really stood out was the hospitality. The staff were so warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The restaurant itself has a nostalgic charm that brought back fond memories of family dinners and simpler times. We only wish we lived closer because this would definitely become one of our regular spots.

We have eaten there or ordered takeout food from them before because it is very close to our home. While it was never great, it always was at least decent. Yesterday, however, it was not good at all. Mine was overcooked and tasteless, made with old vegetables. My friends was also very bad. He woke up at 3:00 AM with horrible stomach cramps! He had to cancel all work today. Ugh! DON'T GO THERE!

    How good can dim sum be all the way up in the north bay?!? Well apparently it's pretty good! As…read moresomeone who grew up in SF and frequently travel to HK, I feel like I know good dim sum when I see it and I was so surprised to find a restaurant that had it in Santa Rosa! We ordered: 1. Ha Gao: Good amount of shrimp and good flavor. However I think they put too much tapioca starch in their dough and it makes it too chewy. 2. Pan fried chive dumplings: Similar to the Ha gao, the flavor was excellent inside but the dough on the outside is too chewy and has too much tapioca starch but otherwise good and really big! 3. Siu Mai: Super delicious and generously sized. 4. Shrimp rolls: Delicious and fresh shrimp! 5. Sweet and sour pork: I loved this and it was one of the highlights even though it wasn't dim sum. The pork was super flavorful and crunchy. Loved that it came with veggies. 6. Seafood crunchy noodles: Delicious with perfectly crunchy noodles. Wish it had a bit more sauce but otherwise good amount of seafood! 7. Eggplant shrimp: Very nice soft eggplant with a good amount of shrimp inside! Overall, highly recommend this place. Is it as good as HK? no but is it way better than I expected and as good as most places in SF? YES! I'd rather come here by a long shot than drive all the way to SF to get dim sum. Ill definitely be back!

Their other Dim Sum is really good too. The broth they use for their soups is really good too -- so you can't go wrong whether you're having Won Ton Soup, Sizzling Rice, Hot and Sour or Egg Flower -- treat yourself to a soup before you eat!

When we walked in, there was only a table of five customers at the end of their meal because the wait staff just delivered them the bill. I asked for a high chair, and she looked at my daughter and said she's too big for that, but I immediately told her my daughter can still fit in (btw, my daughter is very skinny and young and she prefer high chair everywhere we go out to eat every week, and the last one being only 3 days ago). The waitress didn't even bother to go grab the high chair and just walked away to the counter that is located in the back toward the kitchen. With this attitude, I will give one (1) star especially when the restaurant was not even busy at the time. The high chair by the way was very sticky that leaves stickiness on your hand after touching it kind (i.e., not clean). Another observation was that the waitress was more focus on the other dine in customers who were at the end of their meal than coming to our table to start taking order or at the very lease, offer drinks - it was already passed 6:00 pm and the restaurant was still emptied, everyone was hungry so what's up with the nonchalant attitude? Our party consist of three adults and a toddler, so we decided to try out the family meal at $28 per person that comes in a fixed choice of 1 won-ton soup, broccoli beef, sweet and sour pork, and a chicken dish. We also added a side dish of veggie chow-fun (wide rice noodle), so the entire order without the drink, taxes, and tip was over $100. For the food items we ate, I can only give a 2 out of 5 star rating because they all had one thing in comment - neither taste good or bad but with expensive tags. I didn't get sick after dinner so 2 stars rating is all I can give. All I can say is the food is safe to eat but not great. Some of the positive reviews were about good customer service, but we didn't experience that last night. Some reviews indicated how delicious the food were, but I don't agree based on my dinning experience. Therefore, overall, I can't give this restaurant more than 2 stars. Side note: on the way home, I told my wife that Panda Express would have been a better choice if I knew our dinning experience outcome a head of time.
