MOTHER'S DAY SATURDAY DINNER The night before Mother's Day I came here along with my sister and her husband to take out our mothers for dinner. When I go out for dinner on a special occasion, I order a dish that I don't regularly eat. For beverage I choose the iced dirty lavender latte. The main entree I selected was the tom yum paella. I've had lavender latte. Sometimes lavender latter can be too sweet. At The Royale I enjoyed drinking the iced dirty lavender latte, which had a slight earthy taste. The tom yum paella is play on a hot and sour Thai soup in a rice dish. I've eaten paella but having a tom yum concept was unique. I can taste the lime flavor from this paella. Even though there is seafood what made the tom yum paella stood out was the lobster tail. Having the iced dirty lavender latte with its earthy taste balances the strong lime flavor of the tom yum paella. Overall I had a nice dinner for Mother's Day. The decor at The Royale has a relaxed upscale setting. The restaurant isn't tiny, but at the same time The Royale isn't very large. Even though I came here for Mother's Day dinner, The Royale is a restaurant you can come to eat for a special occasion like Father's Day or a graduation.
Came here for a birthday brunch and was very excited. We came on a Saturday and although there was a bit of a line we were still probably seated within 15 minutes. Staff were very friendly and the interior was well decorated. Definitely would come again for another girls brunch. or even to check out the dinner menu. Here's what we got... 5/5 Tom Yum Paella - perfect blend of flavors. My family had made paella before but I have never heard of a fusion paella. Pleasantly surprised and would order again. (This is dine in only) 3.5/5 French Toast - Prettily plated and tasted yummy. Can't go wrong with pancakes or french toast. (I will have to come back to try their Dua Lipa inspired Croffle & Ice Cream!) 4/5 Kare Raisu - Yummy and will satisfy the craving. I just wish I had more veggies in the curry but that's a personal preference. We got the Homefried chicken Thigh as the meat option and it was perfectly crispy. 4/5 Quattro Formaggi - This was very yummy! But with everything we ordered it was like an explosion of many different flavors. Not sure if I'd mix it up the same way next time. However by itself, I love sourdough so this was great with the mozzarrella, parmesan, gruyere and white sharp cheddar cheeses. The salad it came with was pleasant and the bacon and potatoes were a good mix.
Was in Pleasant Hill to pick up something and was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon the Royale for brunch. We arrived just before 11 on a Saturday and were seated right away, which is always a plus. But as we left around noon, it was really filling up and I felt we timed our visit just right. The interior is done in a beautiful art deco style with gold accents and velvet, glass light fixtures. I really appreciate the attention to detail - which even extended to the bathrooms. Our server was friendly and efficient. Everything went smoothly, which is always a plus. The food was also great. My husband went with the waffle which was topped with ice cream, berries, and a chocolate sauce. He reports that it was delicious--he finished the plate in its entirety. I went with the Ahi Tuna Salad because I wasn't terribly hungry. And it was perfect - the ahi was cooked just right, seasoned well, and the salad has exactly the right amount of dressing. So good! We will probably be back in the area in a couple of weeks, and I expect that will mean a return visit to The Royale. Thanks for a lovely dining experience.
Came during a popular brunch time but the wait surprisingly wasn't too long! The service was super friendly and quick. We got the cute bear drinks and they were delicious and super cute for photos. All the food we tried was great. Loved the benedict especially. But everything tasted great. A good place for a group brunch!
Wowww... I couldn't have been more impressed. I made a reservation for Valentine's Day for me and my girlies and yesss it was busyyy! Reservations were nearly full but luckily we got a spot early in the morning. The place was packed, but I see why. I loved their drinks as well as their Tom Yum Paella. The portion was a bit small compared to other places however the flavor was immaculate! Months go by and I'm still thinking of this dish. The green sauce was what really made the dish top tier in my opinion. I truly loved how unique this dish was and I can't wait to try more! Staff were super friendly. We were a party of 3 and they sat us in a booth. We're all foodies and we tend to order a lot sometimes so I loved how much space we had at the booth. It was truly perfect!
Ready for a hidden gem that's easily recognizable on a busy street in Pleasant Hill? Look no further! The Royale is a spectacular place for anyone that looking for a high end brunch with well presented colorful plates of food and vibrant drinks. The atmosphere is elegant and modern making it the perfect place for family, friends, dates, occasions. I highly recommend checking The Royale out!
Went back again for bunch but it's a bit disappointed by the food. We ordered the burger again and the patty were dried and over cooked. The patty were also thin like a fast food place. The Benedict was good tho so I gave 3 stars as average. Service was good and this place was packed with people on the weekends.
Found this place coincidentally as I was driving by, went inside and immediately was greeted by a woman and got a table. The interior was beautifully set up. The food we got were very good. I definitely recommend the fried Chicken Benedict and if you like pancakes; try the Mango/coconut Pancake. It was such a fun refreshing twist to Pancakes.
I came with a friend and my toddler. The atmosphere is super cute and aesthetic. Servers were friendly and even offered my son a little toy which is such a nice gesture. Things are priced a bit high but I did find value in the paella. The flavors were really well balanced. The Thai fusion take on brunch was really flavorful and balanced. We also enjoyed the ube pancakes. I'd skip the sirloin omurice, the rice was very mushy and the steak a bit chewy. Definitely a great spot for girls brunch!
Loved it! plenty of parking. Outside looks pretty and kind of european with the style of the patio furniture. The inside decor is elegant/stylish. They also have chandeliers. It's kind of a small place but they do have a couple of tables that can accommodate a group. The service was friendly. Each thing on the menu was unique so it took me a long time to read over. everything was delicious. My mom loved the smashburger, and she never likes anything. The ube latte with the bear was super cute and tasted good also. It had a boba/brown sugar flavor I feel like. The presentation for all of food items was carefully curated and had appealing garnishes. My husband ordered a grilled cheese and loved the variety of cheeses in it and the spicy bacon. Very memorable brunch!
Came here my the fam to celebrate my sister's birthday. I ordered the iced Ube latte and the Korean fried chicken burger. The Ube latte was nice and creamy. I also thought that the bear was pretty cute. The burger had a nice crunch to it and I really enjoyed the picked vegetables on the side. It complements the burger very well. The service here was really good. Our server was very kind, patient, and gave us good recommendations. Food also came out at a reasonable pace. I definitely will be back again. Try it out if you like. :)

Great place to eat and food is good. I like the ambience. The place looks like you are inside a fancy hotel and lots of flowers. I would definitely come back. We went for bruch but a little bit pricey. read more
Truthfully, I have mixed feelings about this place. I have visited The Royale twice recently and had bad starts but a pleasant dining experience. If you go on the weekend, wait times are 30+ minutes easily. When I asked for a wait time on both visits, I was told about 20-30 minutes but it ended up being more like 45 minutes to an hour. They did not take reservations at the time. The inside is pretty small so for any parties over 6 people I would recommend arriving earlier. I think the bigger issue with the seating situation lies in the seating priority. During my first visit, I was told my party would be seated soon then another party was seated before us at the promised table even though they arrived after us. After being seated, they did offer free drinks for some of the people at our table though. Upon my second visit, I was told my party would soon be seated. However, I didn't hear anything for some time(maybe 10 minutes) so I went in to check in with the host. I was then told they still had not started arranging our table and the only available options were a shared large table with another small party or to wait for two smaller tables to be combined for our party. We waited about another 10 minutes before being seated. It was pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon, multiple parties were pretty dissatisfied with the seating priority as some parties were moved into seating before others despite being similar party size. I don't really understand how they prioritize the seating considering no reservations are placed and some parties get moved up faster than others despite having been there earlier. Despite the wait times and seating conflicts, I really do enjoy the food here. The food is beautifully presented and tastes just as good as it looks! The service is VERY fast as well and waiting staff are all super friendly. After ordering, despite the full house, our food came out within 10-15 minutes. The food is super YUMMY! The portion sizes are rather generous, and the food is made with good quality ingredients. I really liked the multi colored carrots, the arugula, tobiko toppings, and even the fruits on the sides here and there. The inside is small but super cute! They decorate a lot for holidays and it's very well kept. The seats are all super comfy. There are some booths, some cushy chairs, and some other comfy chairs. They do prefer that you limit your dining experience to 90 minutes, so don't get too comfy! I really do think this is one of the best brunch places in the area, i just hope one day they can expand to a bigger lot to help with seating. The food is worth the wait, and you will leave wanting to come back again. read more
Probably 3-4 overall for me The Holy Chili Bomb Omurice and Sirloin Steak (3/5) - The Holy Chili Bomb title is more for the steak's gravy, not for the omurice. I was disappointed on the omurice texture, it was a fail. I was warned about the spice level but did not expect to be a bit much. I still like it but may be too much for others. The sirloin steak was a bit chewy for my liking. Espresso Martini (3/5) - Pretty but the most bitter martini I've tasted, and it's more on the espresso side, not alcohol Ambiance (4/5) - yes, pretty. A bit cramped and I see some tables sharing with other guest? unsure really if they're the same party hmmm Service (4/5) - waitress was attentive and gave a superb service. However, I sat at the bar but only the waitress was checking on me. Kinda weird that the bartender or staff at the bar wasn't. Price (3/5) - A bit pricey overall Would I go back? Unsure yet but I know there's many dishes to try still that may change my review read more
First time here and it was soo cute ! Stag was super friendly and kind. The food was soo yummy , full of flavor and the ambiance ? You just had to be there I don't think the pics do justice. I was super happy with my first time here. Went for dinner because the brunch reservations were all booked out, I will return to check that food out. Everything was very clean and inviting here. There's a large parking lot close to other shops / hotel/ banks. read more

THE CHICKEN WAFFLE. IS. TO DIE FOR. I've ordered it time and time again-- what a treat for the weekend :-) My partner and I are frequent flyers here... I'm a huge fan of Asian fusion brunch spots-- and The Royale has dishes that look as good as they taste. So much love and care put into each dish...! Absolutely worth the weekend wait. ICED UBE LATTE: You can add a shot of espresso and make it a dirty ube :3 This is usually my go-to on the weekend. Super creamy, rich ube flavor, with ample caffeine to fuel you for the day... CHICKEN WAFFLE: I've tried other items on their menu but have come back to the Chicken Waffle. Every. Time. Tender, savory, juicy chicken thigh with a touch of breading-- atop waffles so light and fluffy, just the right amount of sweet. Portions are huge enough to leave 2/3 for leftovers... A plus in my book The staff have always been so welcoming and attentive. Top-notch hospitality. Highly recommend coming here! read more

The food is beautifully plated and delicious. The ambiance is upscale brunch. The price matches the ambiance but it makes up for it in taste and portion. Second time coming here and service was great. My only complaint is the upcharge for modifications. Nevertheless I thouroughly enjoyed my drinks and meal. read more

Been wanting to get brunch at The Royale for the longest, and I finally got to with a couple friends! The whole vibe of the place is so cute! I love the decor and the set up of the restaurant. They also have really delicious and instagramable dishes! Service was quick and friendly, and because we went on a Monday, we had no wait to be seated. I knew that I had to get one of their famous iced coffee drinks with the bear on top! It was not only super cute, but pretty decent taste wise! The caramel macchiato was flavored well and not too sweet. For my main entree, I got the Holy Chili Bomb Omurice. They give a huge portion of sirloin steak, and the red wine sauce they top it with adds depth and a little sweetness. The basil fried rice it came with was good, but could have been a bit more basil-y. And the omelette was just ok. I think it was a little overcooked and didn't have that slightly runny texture I was looking for when I split it down the middle. All in all, I liked it and it's a dish I would order again! My friends ordered the Kare Raisu with chicken and the Sicilian scramble. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and beverages! The Royale is definitely a restaurant I'll be returning to soon! read more
Very beautiful restaurant, but small, for the crowd they attract. The food is good, I was told the omelette was very bland, but everything else was not bad. Drinks very strong, which isn't a bad thing I guess, I could not finish mine. Lol The staff was very busy due to the crowd, we had friendly wait staff. But the greeter or manager was not very welcoming at all, he constantly told our table we only have 90minutes to eat. Which isn't a problem, but the manner in which he did it was condescending. We had a party of 8 which had a reservation for 12:30 and everyone was on time. It took a while for us to be seated (which is understandable given the crowd) but once we were seated the guy who was working the front desk/greeter/ or manager, came and questioned us on our party size, and said "I thought you all had more people" in a way that was like we were being reprimanded for having two empty seats at the table THEY SAT US AT. I would have given a higher rating but that was really off putting to me. The food was okay, the restaurant was beautiful, but I don't see myself going back due to how the greeter spoke to us. It was unnecessary and rude. read more

Came for brunch with a decent size group of friends. We had reservations and came pretty early. They have so many things to choose from. For my cocktail, I ordered the Garden of Versailles. It was soo good, i ended up ordering two. Really wanted to try another cocktail, but since this was so good, i just ordered another. I'm a tequila drinker and this was not watered down, mixed really well with the juices inside and egg white. Highly recommend. For my entree, I ended up choosing the paella. Was torn between a few things, but I'm so glad I picked this. Lots of flavor. Came with a ton of different seafood. Big serving so I was able to share with some people that wanted to try. The sauce that came with it was delicious so I asked for extra with my take home leftovers. Location was great. Easy to find parking as it's inside of a lot. Restaurant has the perfect aesthetic for pictures and the servers were super nice and attentive. The place gets packed so it was nice that we came early. Will definitely be coming back to try other things. read more
The Royale is the newest brunch spot to hit Pleasant Hill, bringing a creative Asian twist to classic brunch favorites. The menu has plenty to choose from, so we went family style to try a little bit of everything. But first--cocktails. The pistachio caramel Irish coffee caught my eye, and let me tell you, it was strong but so satisfying. We kicked things off with the crab omelette, buttermilk pancakes topped with a strawberry matcha sauce, chicken and waffles, and the burrata salad. Each dish impressed us. The crab omelette was flavorful yet light, the pancakes had just the right balance--not overly sweet but irresistible, the fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the burrata salad was refreshing and bright. Overall, The Royale definitely lives up to the hype and is well worth a visit. read more

Had an amazing experience at The Royale. This place really lives up to its name--everything from the food to the service made us feel like royalty. The food was next level. You can tell a lot of thought and creativity goes into each dish--the flavors are unique, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The fusion style really stands out, combining different influences into something you don't normally find around here. Service was just as impressive--friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. The staff genuinely cares about your experience, and it shows. The ambiance is upscale but still comfortable, making it a great spot whether you're on a date, with friends, or just treating yourself to a great meal. The whole vibe feels polished and intentional. Overall, this is easily one of the best dining experiences in Pleasant Hill. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Really cute spot with major aesthetic vibes. We went on a Saturday and there was a bit of a wait, but not too bad. The decor is super charming and definitely made for Instagram. The food was good, everything we ordered was tasty and nicely presented. The drinks were super cute too. My latte came with a little frozen bear in it, which was such a fun touch. Service was really friendly and welcoming. One thing to note: they have a big parking lot, but it filled up pretty fast since it's shared with a hotel and a few other stores. Just something to keep in mind if you're going during peak hours. Overall, a great place to hang out, catch up with friends, and enjoy the aesthetic. read more
I made it back to try brunch. It was busy around 1:30 pm on a Sunday afternoon. A few people waiting outside and we put our name in and waited about 10 mins once a table left and it was cleared. I tried the chicken and waffles with fruit. I liked the fruit on the side and was impressed with the homemade syrup. The waffle was slightly crunchy. I did not try the chicken Benedict nor etouffee. read more

Stellar service. It was our 3rd visit to this restaurant and the food remains 5 stars -- From the decor to the drinks and service. The fried chicken Benedict does not disappoint! read more
S Tier Brunch Spot. Ambiance itself is super clean and they have festive decor to match the season. Chic aesthetic. Food itself is both a feast for the eyes and mouth. Sometimes brunch spots have really cool looking dishes but lack flavor. The food here is actually really tasty and you'll likely finish ur food if you're that hungry! Ube Latte here is the best I've had. Most places is just super milky but this one has a tone of Ube flavor! read more

Wishing I had another plate of their chicken and waffles in front of me now as I'm writing this. The chicken was so tender and the crunchy breading was possibly some of the best I've ever had (it was buttermilk-y and delicious). The waffles were thick and fluffy and the fruit was the perfect addition. I kind of wish the syrup was a classic maple syrup, but I also really enjoyed the maple butter. The matcha latte was a little bit grainy and maybe on the more bitter side, but I'd rather that than it be too sweet. The iced caramel macchiato tasted like regular coffee, but the bears on our drinks made up for anything flavor wise-- so cute! My boyfriend and his mom loved the croissants that they got too. The candied bacon was soooo yum! Also, our server was super nice and the inside of the place is super cute. Can't wait to go back for the chicken and waffles!! read more

My friends and I came to the Royale for a brunch and had a nice time. Our waitress was attentive and really nice, the wait wasn't too bad, and the ambience is lovely! It was busy but not overwhelmingly loud or packed, and the decor was picturesque. The drinks were great and the food was delicious! read more
We ordered the matcha latte and the ube latte, along with the salmon croissant and pancakes. Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully plated. You can tell they really care about presentation -- each dish looked thoughtfully composed, almost like a piece of art. The flavors matched the visuals too: balanced, fresh, and satisfying. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for both the taste and the aesthetic experience. read more
I Recently wanted to check this place out and honestly, I wish I came here sooner. They have so many options that it was hard to choose just one thing. For drinks we ended up getting an iced ube latte and an iced Thai tea which both were really good. The Thai tea wasn't anything mind-blowing, but it was still flavorful and refreshing. The ube latte, was definitely better than most ube drinks I've had elsewhere. Just make sure to give it a good stir before sipping. For food, we ordered the Chili Bomb Omurice, Buttermilk Pancakes with the ube option, and the Ultimate Smash Burger. The omurice had a nice kick. We asked for the sauce on the side just in case, and I'm glad we did. It was very flavorful, not too spicy, and complemented the dish perfectly. The steak was cooked a bit more than I prefer but still tasty and tender. The seasoned rice was definitely the highlight for me. Kind of reminded me of Filipino adobo rice. The pancakes were amazing , fluffy, perfectly sweet, and surprisingly not overpowering. I kept wanting just one more bite. The smash burger was juicy, flavorful, and the melted cheese really tied everything together. Overall, I'd come back. The service was friendly and attentive, the place was clean and aesthetic, and the food hit all the right notes. Definitely a Pleasant Hill gem worth revisiting. read more

Came to The Royale for brunch with my girlfriend and this place did not disappoint we ordered the Chicken and waffles and the Royale which is potato purée with a tender short rib, carrots and broccolini both dishes were delicious the waffle was so buttery and sweet and the chicken was nice and crispy. The short rib on the Royale was amazing and definitely my favorite it was such a comforting meal, please try it. The drinks were good but I did not enjoy the wildflower bitters in the "dear Diana" my friend ordered the purple drink it was a little tangy nothing exciting. Might try a bourbon drink next time. This place is definitely worth a try! read more
If you're looking for a new brunch place, this is it! Pretty and amazing food!! We saw this place on instagram and had to make sure to get it! We got there around 12 and added ourselves to the paper wait list and it only took about 15 minutes to get seated! We got the chicken and waffles along with the omurice! Both were amazing but the chicken and waffles were definitely the stand out! They also have a bunch of drink options! We got the unlimited mimosa (peach flavor is great!) along with the ube iced latte with espresso added in! Super yummy! Service was really nice up until the end. They were doing a 90 minute time limit so we definitely felt rushed at the end with the server coming to remind us twice within 5 minutes that it was time for us to leave Great place to eat for brunch but if you're looking for somewhere you can sit for a little while and catch up, this might not be it read more

Thursday brunch for 2, and no wait! Very modern and clean inside, with friendly staff. The TOM YUM PAELLA surprised me--it was flavorful and a little spicy, the rice was crispy and delicious. It truly tasted just like tom yum soup! The fried chicken on the BENEDICT was crispy and juicy inside, not dry at all. The hollandaise was sweet and the aioli added a nice touch. The only thing was that the eggs were a bit over done and weren't runny at all. The PANCAKES were just okay, but I did enjoy them with the mascarpone! I didn't read the fine print and didn't know it came with red bean, which I'm not a fan of. Overall good food, maybe a bit overpriced, but we still enjoyed the meal! read more
Long wait but well worth it Service on point, sat by the window and they opened up the curtains to block out the sun. All 3 drinks were really tasty, Ube latte was the best one. The royal bacon was not that crispy but had a kick. I believe it was Gochujang. The chicken and waffles was good. The chicken was so crispy and the waffle was basic. The sauce was sweet. Inside is really fancy. Like a place you would have afternoon tea. I'll be back. read more
I came across this place via the old trusty Yelp. The aesthetics were just hitting all the marks and pretty much Instagram-worthy, which is probably why so many people come. We got there a little after 11, and there was a line. We wrote our name on the wait list and stood a bit far from the door and didn't know our table was ready. We checked back in about 15 minutes later and our table was ready. It was a large table and we ended up sharing it with two other people, which was fine because the table was large. We started off with mimosas and I appreciated that they offered such unique flavors. Strawberry rose was good, but a bit too sweet for me. Peach was my favorite, next to grapefruit. For food, I decided to order the etouffee for my main entree, and it was just OK. I liked it, but it wasn't the best I've had. I give it a 3/5. All the other food my friends ordered were good. Other items I tried: Chicken and waffles were 4/5 Holy Chili Bomb Omurice with sirloin steak 4/5 The majestic 5/5 surprisingly delicious Fries 5/5 reminded me of McDonald's (in a good way) I didn't try the lattes, but my friends said their were a bit on the sweet side. Overall, service was pretty top notch, and the place is beautifully decorated. I would definitely come back for another brunch event. read more

Another tiktok suggestion and I'm glad we took notice of it. The photos of the food looked different from all of the other brunch photos that we always see. YK the usual, pretty plates with flowers, etc. Something stood out, I cannot put my eye on it, but it was enough to sway me to come. I felt like I can really see the love cooked into the food being portrayed in the photo. I can't explain it. I was right :) Pulling up, there is a parking lot shared by other businesses as well. Lots of spaces to park. I can already see there is a small group of people waiting to be seated. I put our name on the list, only about a handful of people ahead of us. It is a small/medium sized restaurant & bar with floor to ceiling windows (natural light flowing in), small wait area near the entrance. I love how the bathrooms are individual & private. Outside are the sinks and mirrors. I didn't see a wait list to join on yelp, but added ourselves to the wait list at the podium when we arrived. I think we waited about 30 minutes before we were seated (2). I love that the two menus they have (regular menu/drink menu) are on just on the front and back. Perfect amount of options as big menus can be overwhelming. Their drink menu looks interesting, maybe next time, we'll try. Great customer service, I can feel the kindness in their hearts as they served us. Thank you for this amazing experience. We relished and savored each bite. It is truly one of the best brunches I've had in a while. That french toast and the sirloin with the french omelette is out of this world fantastic!!!!!!! I didn't get to try the waffle and chicken which seems to be a favorite at that restaurant. I was too full lol read more
First time here and was already impressed with the decor it's very chic and modern with an elegant feel . The food that we had is really delicious, the crab omelette was divine. The smash burger was good as well but quite cumbersome to eat the way it's presented and with the sauce around it made the burger buns a little soggy. The fries of the sauce with the pickles and pickled onions was perfect. And the CUTEST bear that came with all the iced drinks was my favorite part made me smile the moment it hit our table . Service was quick and the staff was friendly. a little bit pricey but with the quality and taste it's worth it ! Will definitely come back to taste more of their signature dishes ! read more

okay honestly the only thing I enjoyed were the drinks very yummy and cute but the food took half an hour to get to us and we kept getting ignored by the staff, not a single update on our food. We had to ask how long and on top of that the waitress came and told me the reason they took so long was because they make it from scratch .literally everyone was getting their food but us. The ambiance is okay just more for show and pictures. I don't recommend the food just the drinks. The wait is too long for two people. very mid for a high price restaurant. read more

We had a horrible experience at The Royale Eatery . The manager/owner of this restaurant harassed us the day after Mother's Day! The manager of this restaurant was beyond rude to my family and I. We had a reservation for a party of 6 at 7 pm, and they did not serve us our food until 8 pm. There were only 3 other tables. We kept waiving our server down and she kept asking us to wait even though it's been 30 minutes and she has not taken our food and drink order. We had to beg for even glasses of water 15 minutes in. We finally got only half of our appetizers at 8 pm, and they had just started on making our entree at 8 pm they said. But we've been there since 7 PM. They begged us not to go, but we kindly insisted on paying for the drink and appetizers and to leave. We didn't want to just walk out without paying. We told them we had to go, but they were forcing us to stay despite already paying. When we left to our cars, the manager followed us outside to sign the check again and proceeded to curse us out after we had paid for the overpriced food. How can you treat your customers this way? Instead of apologizing, the manager harassed us instead. For all this trouble, we paid $100, and they charged us 20% for service! What service!? To be harassed? read more

The food was good, the service was great, and the décor was very nice. One of our drinks came out late, but it wasn't a big deal. I really appreciated that the drinks were both tasty and strong..I definitely got a good buzz from mine! I also loved the iced ube latte because it wasn't overly sweet. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, and they have a 1.5-hour dining limit so they can accommodate other customers. Because of that, it's probably not the best place if you're looking to sit and chat for a long time with friends or family. Our food also took a while to come out. As for the food, the wagyu burger was okay. It was a bit overcooked and served on a hot skillet, making it difficult to hold and eat at first. It was still flavorful, though. I initially thought the sauce would be cheesy, but it was more creamy..almost like a lighter cream of mushroom sauce with some cheese mixed in. It was good, just different from what I expected. The fries were a little overcooked for my taste and ended up being somewhat hard, possibly because they continued cooking on the hot skillet. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this place at least once for the experience. read more
Im amazed at all the asian fusion spots in the Concord/Pleasant Hill area. Case in point, the reviews on The Royals were super good. Survey Says: Winner!!!! The food in this place rocks. I have to say that in general, each dish was executed nicely. One of the best things was the amount of fresh and delicious fruit they used to garnish on a number of their dishes. I sampled all of the dishes at the table and each was very craveable. The chicken used in the Benedict and the Waffle dish was so good. Crispy, moist and the breading was yum (cornflakes?). The waffle was crunchy and held the syrup well. The crab used in the omelette was yum. The pancake stack was elevated by the strawbery and matcha. Everything was so dang good! The drinks were fun with a bear theme to them. The double walled bear mugs keep the drinks warm throughout the meal. My fave was the ube drink. It was on the sweeter side but the ube was very noticeable. Just a yum drink. Our waitress Naomi was very gracious and worked really hard. She made sure our table was well attended too. Also the food came out quick and looked amazing. There was little bit of a wait to get in buy they move alot of folks in and out in a timely manner. The restaurant was nicely decorated. The neutral grey tones with white and black accents gave the restaurant an upscale vibe. Very modern but the folks running the place keep it warm and inviting. Parking was okay. Royale is sandwiched between the CVS and Marriot. I can't wait to go back and sample goods! read more
