    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    Cashew Chicken was 90% "cashew" and 10% chicken. Tasted good, but set aside 75% of it for a vegetarian friend.

    We quit going here as the food was mediocre and the drinks were weak and poorly made. Overpriced as well.

My wife ordered her favourite beverage ( non-alcoholic pina colada ) to go along with her meal. She took a couple of sips and asked me to taste it because it tasted like it had sat out for awhile. I tasted it and agreed that it didn't taste right. I asked our waitress if they would remake my wifes drink, and our waitress said she'd check on it for us. We sat there trying to enjoy our meal while watching our waitress ignoring us. I then proceeded to ask another waiter to see if he could remake the drink. After asking us what was wrong with the drink he informed us that it appeared that half of the non-alcoholic pina colada had been drank, and that he'd be willing to make my wife 1/2 of another non-alcoholic pina colada, because he said it was against company policy to replace any drinks that were drank half-way. We were totally dissatisfied with his solution, so we declined the offer. We then asked him to please just take take the drink off of our final bill. Unfortunately the restaurant was unwilling to remove the drink from our bill. We paid the $65 tab and did not leave any grantuity because of the subpar service that we recieved. We nicely informed the cashier as we were paying the bill that we were never coming back because of the poor experience that we had tonight. Is this how Las Margaritas treat loyal guests who've been patrons for more then thirty years? You didn't just lose my wife and I, you've lost our entire family, our friends, and our co-workers all over a poorly made beverage followed up with extremely bad customer service. We will never return after this poor experience and we will notify the people in our social circle about how this experience made us feel.

Fast forward to 7/6/25, The Homie and I decided to check out Jersey's on 152nd to wrap up the Fourth of July holiday weekend with their happy hour. There's ample adjacent parking, plus plentiful seating in both the bar and restaurant sections. There were well placed flat screens, which on this visit had the F1 race televised from Las Vegas and the US - Mexico Concacaf match televised from Houston. Lots of signed sports memorabilia posted on the walls. Our waitperson was friendly and attentive and provided us with both the Happy Hour (3-6pm) and extensive regular menus. I'd call this elevated sports bar cuisine. There's even breakfast/brunch items available on weekends. We both had refreshing iced beverages, an iced tea and a Pepsi, which were refilled during out meal onsite ($3.50 each). We ordered from the HH menu: Crispy JoJo Skins ($9), Hog Wings with coleslaw ($13), and Buttermilk Chicken Tenders with fries ($10). I appreciated the nice presentation of each of the HH menu items. The JoJo potato skins were loaded with melted cheese, green onions, and bacon bits plus a nice garlic lime sour cream sauce. The Hog Wings selected were succulent pork shanks tossed in kalbi sauce, garnished with sesame seeds and served with coleslaw. The Buttermilk Chicken Tenders were moist and not over coated and served with on point house fries. Yet again, another Shoreline gem flying under the radar screen. Jersey's Great Food and Spirits has great service and a wide variety of menu items to savor. Next visit will be much sooner and not a ten year hiatus!
