    This is a great start!
    Jeannette F.

    First time Back since the new owner took over. Nice and bright in the space and interesting table decor. The fish tank is still there and the fish look happy and healthy. The waiter was great and the food was pretty good. I found the ordering process to be complicated and somewhat overwhelming but that is common for me at Asian restaurants.

    How I heard of this place: Some friends of ours have a weekly routine that includes Royal Unicorn. While their plans don't change, their company can, so we were invited to join them on this particular Sunday for dinner. Type of cuisine: Family style Chinese food served for an American audience. Ambiance: Quaint and cozy, the restaurant side (we didn't make it to the sing-along lounge) host booth seating as well as a large dim sum table complete with lazy Susan at the center of their dining room. An aquarium glows blue with fish swimming gently as patrons enter, eat and leave. Unexpected decorations grace the walls and lighting fixtures, and a large mural maintains the blue water theme. What I ordered: For our appetizers, we selected the Fried Chicken and Egg Rolls. Our dinner orders included a veggie Egg Foo Young, Singapore Rice Noodles and Sesame Beef. What I loved: The vegetables in the beef dish were perfectly seasoned and prepared. The Singapore Noodles lacked the spice I'm accustomed to, but the flavors were nice and the dish robust. Why I loved it: The space was quiet and relaxed, the server very friendly and helpful with making suggestions and the food presented nicely. Cost: Average ($15 per entree)

    Stopped by for Friday Karaoke Night, and this place is AMAZING!! The service here is great! I was greeted & seated quite quickly. The food came out timely as well! This place is pretty busy/lively during their Friday Karaoke, but service is still really good when busy! I got a bunch of menu items but only got a picture of a few. The Mongolian Beef, Honey Walnut Prawns and Pork Hofun were SO GOOD!! Honorable mention to Szechuan Fish and Mapo Tofu cause that was also so delicious! Worth the drive and prices! The portions are really generous here too! My go to spot

    Hot and Spicy Spareribs

    Haven't been to Royal Unicorn in a while and I must say the food is still delicious. They updated their menu design and it looks great. I got the Hot and Spicy Spareribs, a side of hot and sour soup, and sweet and sour pork. I was completely blown away AGAIN. This is still my number one spot to get Chinese food and is the only spot that treats me right every time I come in! The hospitality and service is unmatched and I hope they get all the recognition they deserve.

    This restaurant was quite good. I had been meaning to visit for a few years and finally got around to it today. And that was because my intended restaurant is closed on Mondays. I got lettuce wrap with chicken. Fresh lettuce and fresh chicken filling. Needed a bit more flavor to the filling, but the hosian sauce was ok. I'm not big on sweets though, so I didn't use much sauce. I loved the light crunch on each bite. Really good. I also had the spicy chicken wings. It is my favorite Chinese dish to order when in the mood for chicken wings. This restaurant served up the best I have ever had. All but one of the wings were decent sized. Every one of them were tasty. The woman who served me was kind, prompt, and curious. When I asked her what she would recommend, she told me to "Review the menu because everything is good." I really would have appreciated some direction from her. But I chose well on my own. When I'm in town again, and if I am in the mood, for Chinese food, I'll be back.

    70. Pork Egg Foo Young

    I stopped in to get some takeout, pork egg foo young for lunch and met Lea the new owner. Sounds like they took over the restaurant about a year ago. The egg foo young I ordered was very good and I plan to go there again in the near future. I don't live in the neighborhood anymore. The restaurant looked very clean and again the owner was lovely.

    Crispy Rice Soup
    Jeff N Helen M.

    The Royal Unicorn has reopened this week under new Management. We live in the neighborhood and ate at the former once and did not enjoy it. Today, we had the Crispy Rice soup, Coconut Shrimp, and the Two Delights (similar to Mongolian beef, but with chicken). All three were 5 stars. The coconut shrimp is freshly made, the two Delights had a great meat to veggie ratio and the soup was perfect. Unlike the predecessor, we shall be back and we are fans. Per the owner, the bar will be open in a few weeks as well.

    Ho fun noodles, aka Chow fun
    D.J. Y.

    This place has been a Richmond beach standard for years, new owners have been in place almost 2 years now, they have really turned this place around. While yes you can still get pre-set meals at dinner, but don't forget their Lunch menu served up 7 days a week! Flavors were very good, serving sizes decent and the staff were easy to talk to about the menu. Plenty of free parking, no excuses Shoreline, get in here now!!

    The indoor space looks way better than outside. It's super cozy and nicely decorated. The food is really tasty. The service is awesome and friendly. Overall, it's a great place to eat.

    Cool fish tank and yummy food

    We came here on a lark, being a little over a mile away after morning appointment. We read the…read morereviews, Chinese food sounded good, so we came by. We were not disappointed. Definitely a no frills place, but it's family run and the food is good. We arrived around 12:45 on a Sunday, at the end of the lunch rush wave. Worked out really well: our server Frank sat us right away, we ordered, and were eating our first dishes within minutes. Perfect! Because we were starving! I had a hankering for pork bao, which I hadn't had in a long time. They were decent. My girlfriend is vegetarian, so all other dishes were vegetarian: dry-fried string beans, general Tso's tofu, and hot and sour food. More than enough for the two of us, and very good and satisfying. Note: General Tso's is usually made with chicken and we asked if it could be made with tofu instead. They had no problem with the request. Portions are ginormous, so bring your appetite!

Given that this is called xiaolongbao house, we should have tried the soup dumplings, but since there were two of us, we got the stir fried green beans and spicy boiled fish (shuijiuyu) as well as some white rice. The spicy boiled fish was DELICIOUS: so spicy, flavorful, with generous portions. The green beans had good flavor but I wish they were crispier. We had a ton of leftovers. We will definitely be back for the other menu items.

    Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."
