    Outside; next door to The Cheesecake Factory.

    Royal Dim Sum is a much needed addition to Long Island! Good dim sum places are slim pickins on Long Island so I was beyond happy to hear that they opened! For LI, this is a 4 Star restaurant but probably 3-3.5 Stars if compared by the standards of Flushing, Queens. Why? For a few reasons. The variety of items were decent but they didn't seem to have more than two servings of the same item. Also, a few of the items weren't hot; more like room temperature. The flavors could have been bolder. One surprise find was their Ube Egg Custard Sesame Balls. These were really great (& different). They were minimally sweet. I generally don't like overly sweet food so this was perfect for me. Looking forward to having dinner here one day, and returning again for dim sum!

    The Good: 5 minute wait today on a Sunday at 12:30PM! Service was quick and attentive. Absolutely love how close a dim sum spot is close to home on Long Island!! Food was yummy (custard buns, fried taro, sticky rice, beef rolls) all my favorites! The restaurant is also new and modern, tastefully renovated and spacious with plenty of seats! The Mid: we ordered pork soup dumplings and as mentioned in other reviews, the skin is very thick for soup dumplings, but the flavor was still good and yummy! The Bad: nothing to note!

    We were back for dim sum again with some other friends. This time we tried the crab and pork soup dumplings in addition to an assortment of other dim sum. The dumplings were not bad, skin a little thick, soupy but little crab is visible. The rest of the dim sum was really good. They are under new management but don't notice any thing different with the dishes. Service is friendly and efficient. Very nice atmosphere. We'll be back!

    First time coming here as we normally go another spot about 10 minutes away. Overall had a great experience here. Ordered about 7 different things for dim sum. Prices are to be expected and within range of what we normally pay. Not busy when we arrived around brunch time and seated right away. They did not have the cart but instead you check off what you want on a sheet. Does make it easier to order. Food was delish. Family really enjoyed the sesame ball lol as it was a different experience than at other places. I really liked the steamed pork buns and shrimp dumplings. Wifey liked the soup dumplings. And lil man liked the shrimp dumplings as well. Service was attentive and quick. And the inside seating area was clean and brightly lit. Plenty of seating at the time that we came. I can see us coming back as we enjoy dim sum and it's nearby.

    We went back and tried more food. The cart ladies are so nice!!! They are patient and happily explain everything. The place is always clean and bright.

    First time here recently. I found the service was attentive and they have an extensive menu! Everything was delicious. Only thing was their xiao long bao had thick skin/dough. Almost like a shen jian bao kind of dough. And they had them inside the bamboo steamers in little dan tat foil trays. Once never seen that before. I prefer the wax paper or the lettuce leaves vs these foil trays that stick to the dough. It was still tasty however.

    The food is made fresh and has great flavor. The servers are very nice and pretty responsive especially if you get there before the rush. The interior is clean and it looks like your typical dim sum place. Good local spot for anyone in the area hoping for good eats.

    Family style portions here. Everything was good. The beef and mushroom soup lacked any umami flavor. Service was quick. This place is large. It's freezing outside, so when the door stayed open for too long I was freezing and closer to the bathroom, so not even close to the entrance. I will come back. The dim sum was so fresh and hot!

    Please keep in mind, I have had dimsum in Flushing and Woodside, with that being said, I came here with an open mind expecting it to be close which it was! I've been to other LI dimsum spots and I have to admit, it is delicious here. A bit saltier than what I am used to but let's get into it! We ordered the usuals: - Beef Ball: very good quality, plump and not too salty - Shiu Mai: plump, juicy and freshly made - Chicken Feet: black bean based, portion was good, actual chicken had a lot of meat/collagen - Sticky rice: loved that it had sausage, mushrooms and even pumpkin. Rice was extra sticky so harder than other places to get a clean pull from the wrapper - Bean Curd: this was actually well-soaked in the sauce and braised well but salty - Fried Bacon wrapped Shrimp: This was a show stopper. Came out piping out, a lot of shrimp juices and they were hUge - Crab and pork soup dumplings: wrapper was slightly thicker than other places and meat/pork filling was minimal (extremely overpriced for $15) The service was better than expected for a fast turnover Chinese restaurant. We asked for white rice and waited awhile only to see that our rice was given to a different table but there was a GM/manager there that kept a close eye on all the tables and ensured we got what we needed. Food was great but I do have to mention the prices were higher than typical dimsum. Typically, dishes would be $4 or so but this place started at $5 so, after dishes, drinks and the soup dumplings, our bill was $100 not including tip. I live in Suffolk County so it's a drive to get here but if in the area or up early, I would definitely come back. Note: It was a snowy Sunday at 11AM but we noticed people started trickling more around noon so, try to go by 10AM if you don't want to wait. Even if you do wait, most people wait about 10 minutes or so.

    BLUF: Lovely atmosphere; friendly service; mostly bland food. Our recent first visit to Royal Dim Sum was disappointing given their many positive reviews. Much of the food and sauces we had were surprisingly bland. Dishes we had: - Osmanthus Jelly 桂花糕: $5.50. Barely any flavor. The version from Canton Manor has more ingredients and a good goji berry flavor. - Beef Rice Noodle Roll 牛粉: $6.50. Bland, watery, but slightly hard noodle rolls instead of soft and silky noodle rolls, and served with a surprising bland soy sauce. It's absurd that a Chinese restaurant messed up soy sauce. - Beef Short Ribs 牛仔骨: Flavorful but undercooked. We ended up taking this to go because it was too chewy to eat at the table, and recooked it at home. - Turnip Cake 蘿蔔糕: $5.50. Bland, hard, served to us with a watered-down hoisin sauce. - Pearl Shrimp Balls 珍珠蝦丸: $6.50. Shrimp balls covered in a bland glutinous rice. - Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp Balls 煙肉丸: This was probably the best of the dishes we tried. Good flavors, moist, and not excessively greasy. Atmosphere: Our dining booth was very comfortable, and the noise level of the dining room was moderate when we were there, around 65 to 70db. The men's and women's restrooms were well-maintained. Service: Service was friendly and generally good. One of the waiters noticed us struggling eat the turnip cake, and acknowledged that it could have been better. Unfortunately, nothing came of it. It would be nice if management empowered the servers to do something about poor food quality. Other: There is $1 surcharge per person for tea. There is a 5% discount for cash payment. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals prior to cash discount, and start at 18%.

    Whenever I can get dim sum without having to find parking in flushing is a good thing. The shumai was delicious and so were the other items we had. I will definitely come back to try more.

    New Cantonese and dim sum restaurant in Long Island! What a great location, surrounded by other new Asian restaurants opening up around it (Kpot, Nan Xiang, and 99 Ranch around the corner). Such a convenient location too since there's parking. I've been here once for lunch and another time for dim sum in the morning, great experience both times. They definitely get super busy on the weekends though, so you may have to wait if you come in the afternoon. It's pretty spacious inside but the tables get filled up quick. The service is also great - staff is nice and the food comes out quick. They serve dim sum all day long, which is rare for most dim sum restaurants. The options are a little more limited compared to the traditional dim sum restaurants in Flushing but they had the staples - chicken feet, shumai, hargow, and more. They even have some unique items like the purple sweet potato sesame balls with custard, lobster dumplings. I enjoyed all their dim sum items and believe me, I've tried pretty much every item on the menu. As for the Cantonese food, also solid. From their noodle dishes to actual entrees, it tastes just the same as the ones in Flushing. No longer need to go so far to get authentic Chinese food!

    This place is really fantastic-great menu was super tasty soup dumplings and the sushi was amazing…read moreas well. We got the orange flavor chicken and it was cooked to perfection. The prices are very reasonable for the food you get, everything came out quickly and tasty. The menu was so big, my friends and I will need to go back to try some of the other dishes. I loved how we ordered on an IPAD-it was great to see all the dishes we were ordering before we got the food. This was my first time that I went to a restaurant where all the ordering was done on an IPAD, I loved this way of looking at the menu and ordering! I do not eat red meat and there were plenty of chicken and vegetarian options to choose. I cannot wait to return to try more of the sushi as well as the soup dumplings again-so tasty! This is a GREAT place to go to before seeing a show at the Westbury Music Fair (it is only about 5-10 minutes away and the service is very quick-they almost rush you out)!

    We went as a part of seven on a weekday night and had to wait a few minutes before being seated…read morewhich was ok. We made reservations for 7:30 and were seated by 7:35. All good there. The hibachi table we sat at was impossibly close to the wall on the left as you walk in. In order to get into a seat you had to remove a chair to get into and seat yourself sideways onto the seat and then the next person would have to do the same. There were at best two servers for the room of six hibachi tables. Drink orders came after 20 minutes and then the children's drinks were forgotten. What was delivered was good, though. Hot sake and a sakatini paired with a beer. We felt bad because there was only one hibachi chef working and he had a full house. He did well and tried to provide good service even though he had to work non- stop. A good but not great show while we were being served. Not taking anything away from him because he really was swamped. Food was good and delivered either hot or cold and nothing to complain or rave about. One of the most "on par" meals I've had in a while. Prices were standard Long Island prices if not a few dollars per item elevated in comparison to other hibachi restaurants. Overall, fair for a decent meal.

I really like the Chinese food selection being a bit more authentic than a normal buffet. There's some unique dishes here that you can't find at other Chinese buffets. Service is good, they're refilling drinks and providing anything asked fairly quickly. It does get a bit messy but with the amount of people, it's expected. Will definitely be back when I'm feeling really hungry!

Waiter refilled my daughter's apple juice from a huge container of apple juice. Aside from that, all the food was fresh and delicious. From sushi & sashimi to fried calamari & shrimp chips to chocolate fondue fountain & green tea ice cream, it would be a dream come true to eat there everyday! lol it would be my own personal foodie dream come true! It was my 1st time there but it won't be my last! I went for dinner but next time, I want to go there for lunch. I wonder if all the foods will be the same since I only tried a fraction of the foods there. In my opinion, DJ's International Buffet definitely deserves my Yummylicious Stamp of Approval & two thumbs up!
