    Delicious fried chicken. Love this restaurant. My other half always orders the spicy and i order the original. Although their chicken is so crispy, the chicken is actually juicy... go figure. I think they must have a pressure cooker deep fryer Will definitely go back, one if my favorite fried chicken restaurants. Reasonably priced for what you get. They offer specials for lunch and are participating inSeattle restaurant week. $65. For a feast!

    Purely evaluating this place on their Chinese fried chicken! Great value - I got the three piece combo that comes with fries and a drink. I was stuffed. I prefer the spicy over the original and like the green tea as the drink. Order in advance if you don't want to wait since they make it fresh.

    Finally I get to try their fried chicken here like my first time here back in 2021! My party of 3 got seated immediately since this was during a lunch hour around 11am with almost no tables filled. We decided to get several dishes, including their well-known fired chicken: - Spicy cumin lamb: this appetizer was fire, not literally. The spice was almost nonexistent but it was a nice, chewy texture without the usual gamey taste. - Wonton in chili oil: this was a step up in terms of spice. Fresh, piping hot, and the chili oil paired well with the coating of the wontons. - Basil fried rice: full of basil, seasoned with eggs and what tastes like sesame oil. Great palette cleanser. - Signature fried chicken: we got a mixture of mid wings and thighs to split among the three of us. We got 6 of each so we each got 2 of each kind. Our favorite was the chicken things because of how juicy they were despite usual chicken thighs losing their juiciness compared to mid wings. All of them came out piping hot and had a crunchy outside crisp which was a huge plus. With their fried chicken in particular, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose to get; they're all made fresh and crunchy and this competes with even Korean fried chicken!

    Food - ordered fried chicken Delicious Only order 2 pieces Service friendly Restaurant clean Giving it a five star rating

    SRW special
    Katherine Y.

    I haven't been back to this place for years and saw it on SRW and decided to hop in again. We came after 1 and the restaurant is mostly empty but lots of take out and delivery orders. We ordered the $20 lunch deal and got salad, drink, fried chicken thigh, wing and even a fried chicken sandwich!! That's a lot of food so very good deal. I couldn't finish the sandwich. The fried chicken was very good, light and crunchy on the outside, juicy and flavorful in the inside. I ordered the spicy one and it is definitely hot. We enjoyed our meal a lot!

    Solid spot overall. The restaurant was very clean, the service was good, and the food definitely delivered. Everything came out fresh and hot, and the staff was attentive without being overbearing. But let me talk about the fried chicken for a second....OMG. Crispy, seasoned just right, and cooked perfectly. Easily my favorite thing on the menu and the reason I'll be back. Definitely a strong 4-star experience. If you're looking for good food, a clean space and solid service, this place is worth checking out.

    New item! Chopped pepper white fish!

    A new must try item on their menu - Chopped pepper hot fish! Folks please try it - halal and delicious to boot :)

    Chili oil cucumber
    Trixie T.

    Wow what a great hidden find!! The chicken we ordered was so yummy and juicy, full of breading which we loved. The spice was just right. We also ordered the crab puffs and spicy chili oil cucumber, another delicious set. The service was great and they even packed our leftovers for us! The inside was very clean. Will definitely come back.

    6.Spicy Cumin Lamb
    Adam R.

    So tasty, yup it really was. Kind of pricey but we will definitely be back, even though we don't live anywhere near here! Probably the least exciting was the ear of corn. It was kind of meh and certainly not what I had pictured by the name. We tried lots of different dishes and overall it was all very good. Loved the sauces and the sides but the hero was the chicken. Loved how crispy it is and the flavors were good. HUGE pieces of chicken too. We way over-ordered but it warmed in an air fryer like it was fresh. The only crazy thing that happened, which I did not deduct stars for; while we were enjoying our dinner a staff member decided it was the appropriate time to sit just behind the counter, near the door to the kitchen and cut her nails. YUP, you read that right.

    Tomato and brisket hotpot
    Keri T.

    So Tasty is right! The husband heard about this place and had been talking about trying it out. We ordered the must-have item, fried chicken, of course, and a couple of side dishes. The staff was super friendly, and the restaurant was roomy and clean. We went right as they opened on a Saturday morning, so we were pretty much the only ones in there. Now to the food. The chicken was perfectly spiced. We got the spicy chicken, and you can tell it's marinated in spice and just coated with spice on the outside. The tomato brisket soup was delicious. It definitely was a bit sweet from the tomatoes, so if you don't like sweet soup, it's probably not for you. Stir fried green beans with garlic were spot on, and lastly, the intestines were a nice side dish. Ordering intestines can always be a gamble, especially if they aren't cleaned properly. I can happily say they were very clean. I would order all those items again. Highly recommend this place. All the dishes were good and the staff were super nice.

    Self explanatory.

    I was in the area (renewing car tabs) and just wanted to drive by and check out the location. Then the voice next to me said "why view the location without sampling the chicken". Tough to argue with that logic. We ordered 4 thighs and when they were delivered it looked like a full platter of chicken. Sorry I forgot the "before" picture, but the after picture explains the 5 star review.

    Combo 3 piece thigh, full wing and mid with fries
    Derrick D.

    Was craving chicken and came to this place by placing a doordash pickup, and ended up sitting outside to eat. I finally decided to get the 3 piece chicken with each of thigh, drumstick, full wing. The best piece was thigh then drumstick and then full wing. The waffle fries were decent. The plum drink is unique and alright. Overall the dish is oily and also pricey for 20$+ At the end, i was still hungry so felt this was on the expensive side. There's ample place to sit inside and outside. The chicken was juicy and properly cooked so that's a good thing. Overall it was great for a one time try.

    Found a new person on YouTube to watch and discovered So Tasty. On our way there, we realized we've driven past this restaurant countless times. We were seated quickly and ordered via QR code. Ordered the egg tarts, fried rice, two types of fried chicken(spicy and original), and the won ton in chili oil. Fried chicken thigh pieces were HUGE. You could easily share half of a spicy and half an original and be satisfied. The chicken has a crispy shell and is soooo good! The chicken is moist. Basil fried rice was delicious. Loved the won ton in chili oil. Made fried chicken sandwiches with our leftovers. TV in the dining room shows pictures of their popular dishes. I already know what I want for next time. You can order takeout from the computer tablet at the door. Online food delivery available. Clean dining room, outstanding fried chicken and friendly service. Highly recommend!

    Royal Kitchen is my favorite spot for dim sum! I usually start every meal with a pot of…read morechrysanthemum or jasmine tea. I also really appreciate that they ask whether you'd like tea before bringing it out, so you're aware there's a charge. A lot of dim sum restaurants automatically serve tea and add it to the bill without asking, so I like the transparency here. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. My favorites are the shrimp shumai and sticky rice, but I've enjoyed everything I've tried. The customer service is always friendly and attentive, and there's plenty of parking, which makes every visit easy. If you're looking for delicious dim sum at a great value, I highly recommend Royal Kitchen! It gets very busy throughout the day, so go early!

    ROYAL KITCHEN @ BELLEVUE (crossroads)…read more Parking is pretty tight here, especially on the weekends when it gets super busy. Luckily, we were able to find a spot right out front, so I'd recommend slowly circling around and keeping an eye out for people leaving. I found this spot through Yelp and had been really craving good Chinese food, so I was super excited to finally try it. My family and I came without a reservation and were seated immediately, even though the restaurant was very busy. This place is definitely known for larger parties, there were lots of families and extended families dining together, which really gave it a classic family-style vibe. You order a bunch of dishes and share a little bit of everything, which I love. The staff were really friendly and greeted us right away with complimentary tea. Fun fact: in the mornings, tea is sometimes an extra charge, but in the evening it's free. We ordered a few dishes, including the honey walnut shrimp (which is my go-to order at any Asian restaurant), salt and pepper squid, house special vermicelli noodles, and Chinese broccoli. The vermicelli was a clear noodle dish loaded with different proteins like BBQ pork, squid, and shrimp. Everything had great flavor, but my absolute favorite was definitely the honey walnut shrimp. It was perfectly crispy and delicious. My only complaint is the portion size for the price, it was about $21 for roughly 10 pieces of shrimp, which felt pretty expensive. Overall, the portions were on the smaller side for what you're paying. Toward the end of the meal, they treated us to a complimentary papaya soup, which was a light, fruit-based dessert soup and a really nice way to finish. Our total came out to about $80, so it's definitely on the pricier side for Chinese food. That said, the food was delicious, the service was great, and if you're in the Bellevue area, I'd still recommend stopping by.

My mom and I went in right at opening time in a weekday and were both pleasant surprised by the quality of the dishes. My favorite dish (chewing fun/shrimp rice noodle roll) was very fresh. I also loved the duck and the baked goods including pineapple bun (I usually don't like the custard once but this one was not as gooey as it usually is) and bbq bun - the bread was sooooooo soft. The fact it was already so busy at opening time on a weekday really says a lot! I'm sure it's pretty crazy during the weekends... My small nitpick would be the service and ordering. You order through your phone using a QR code but the reception was really bad for me and they don't have WiFi for guests. We were able to put in an order with a waiter but that took a while. The food is worth it tho!

All were delicious but my favorite was the stone pot rice. Second time I ordered here, I got garlic chicken wings and fries. Loved it! The wings and fries tasted so fresh.

First time, they didn't secure the lid to the bowl of congee and it arrived all over the poor uber driver's car and in the delivery bag. Second time, they served us burnt congee that reeked of chemicals and had little burnt bits in it. Then this time, the congee is absolutely tasteless and they gave us the wrong soy sauce for the shrimp rice rolls. Shrimp rice rolls usually come with a sweet soy sauce, but they always pack you a whole sauce container of regular soy sauce that you won't realize until you pour it over the rice rolls. Sure they might be more reliable if you're dining there; but please don't even bother ordering take out or delivery. It's funny because every time i order congee, it's because I'm so severely hungover and sick and am so desperate for some comfort food. And every time without fail, they make the situation worst some how lol. Also every time we do call in to complain it always sounds like a teen kid that's working and is not helpful at all. Ugh.
