So, I gotta tell you about this place called Royal China in Dallas. Our server, Shirley, was absolutely fantastic! She was super friendly and attentive throughout our entire meal. The food was seriously delicious - I mean, we couldn't get enough of it. The flavors were on point and everything was cooked to perfection. Plus, the portions were generous, so we definitely left with happy and full bellies. Overall, I'd say Royal China is definitely a winner. You should totally check it out if you're in the area! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

This place does a fantastic job spinning a modernized take on classic and Americanized Chinese dishes. They were quite busy on a Saturday night; we had a 30-45 minute wait without reservations that went by quickly. All staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. We tried their Dan Dan noodles, soup dumplings, bao buns, and crispy duck. All were phenomenal.

First time visiting this place, and it was packed. They have a bar at the front where you can grab a drink while you wait, but it is so small. We had the dumplings and meatball soup for appetizers, and the dumplings were normal, but the meatball soup was absolutely delicious š² for dinner, we had the red snapperš and jalapeƱo chicken. Both came with ricešThe fish was really really saucy and that threw me off a bit but the flavor was still there. It did have a bite so be aware if you don't like spicy food. The jalapeƱo chicken wasn't as spicy as we thought it would be but it was fine. I would definitely come back to try other things!

Another KNOCKOUT!! Everything was incredible. Even the scallion pancakes are something to write about. Their soup dumplings have a fatty broth to them which makes them out of this world, and so succulent! My son got lemon chicken. It's served katsu style and comes with a lemon broth to dip it in. Not only is this the most unique way of having lemon chicken, it's also the best! The chicken is thin slices with perfect crisp and the sauce is an explosion of flavor. Wife or the mao po tofu and it's a punch in the face in the most amazing way. Not overly spicy but with a bite! I'm not sure you can go wrong here so pick something and get ready to be left completely satisfied. Not to mention the service! The staff is so friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is fun and energetic. Don't pass on Royal China!!

First time, dine in service. Wait was 20 minutes for two on a Friday night at 7:30, so not bad. The place was pretty lively but not overbearing. We ordered the dumpling sampler (8/10, chicken dumpling was the best), egg rolls (7/10), orange chicken (6.5/10), and the La Mian Noodles (9/10). Definitely make sure you get the La Mian noodles, these were amazing! The service was quick and the food was reasonably priced, we will be going back for sure.

This was the first time we came here and we had a great experience!
As an Asian, I will say that this is the best Chinese restaurant in the DFW area! The ambiance is upscale and the staff was wonderful, so I believe this is a good option for special occasions and large parties.
This time we had Mongolian Beef, Sichuan Spicy Fish, Three Cups Mushrooms and Royal Prawn. All of these dishes were amazing, tasty and filling!
I will be sure to come back and try some of the other dishes!

Iāve been coming here for decades. The original owners son runs it now. They make their one pasta - noodle bar is the photo - faces the dining area. Itās fun to watch and hear the āthwap thwap ā when they beat the pasta into noodles.
As a traveler to Asia, this is pretty darn good. And the decor reminds me of more modern Shanghai restaurants I visited in the 2000s. And they serve soup filled dumplings. I first had these in Taipei in about 2004 where it was considered a new delicacy and ones here are how I remember them - bursting with flavor.
Food is always very good. A very popular Preston Hollow dining established for decades.

The restaurant had a nice vibe , dumplings were just ok , the only soup dumpling they had was pork which we didnāt try ! the dough was little thick for the chicken dumpling , egg fried rice and lo mein noodles were good.

first time coming here and we had a great experience! we got the dumpling sampler, salt and pepper shrimp, spicy fish, pineapple fried rice, and hand pulled noodles. everything was super tasty and this is a great place for special occasions and large parties. staff is extremely productive in seating parties before time and accommodating during crazy hectic hours and our waiter was very sweet as well. will be coming back in the near future :)

Quick and efficient service. Maybe too quick. Food is just okay. Balanced in flavor but not impressive. Dumplings are not hot, lukewarm at best. Won't return

I just moved to the area and was looking for an authentic Chinese meal. The staff here was so friendly and quick! As soon as I ordered my meal, I promise it felt like it came out in 5 minutes! The staff made me feel like I stepped into another country and I was the guest of honor. I will be back! A bit expensive but the quality, portion, customer service, and ambiance is unmatched!

Really loved this place! I went with a couple friends, and it was awesome.
We got a combo La Mian, chicken noodle soup (both with hand pulled noodles I think), and chicken fried rice. All of this was really good but the La mian and fried rice were excellent. We also got soup dumplings- definitely the best dumplings Iāve had in Dallas!

We have been frequenting Royal China for years. It takes a while to get a seat due to their popularity, but once you get in the service is excellent and the food even better! We always go for the handmade dumplings and hand pulled noodles. Lots of authentic Chinese meal options if you are craving the real deal!

A friend and I came here to try some food. We showed up in the last hour and they were still so nice. (Some places hate it when you come in late and you can tell.) They did tell us we had 20 minutes to order. So we picked the dumpling sampler which was amazing! The rest was dealers choice. I feel like whatever our server picked out was going to be amazing. The tea she picked was great. The noodle dish was amazingly fresh tasting. And the meat was flavored so well. I can't wait to go back and try more with more time. The service was quick. The food was fresh, hot, flavorful, and filling. Definitely recommend and will go back.

Possibly my only ālikedā Chinese place in Dallas š because I am still a NewYorker and thereās nothing like China Town Chinese food and Main Street, Queens Chinese food! However, even though itās way too expensive compared to NY, their soup dumplings are pretty good..

I've been coming to Royal China for years and have no complaints. The food is always good. Service can be a little slower during peak hours, but it's always worth the wait. My favorite is the lemon chicken, breaded with crispy panko bread crumbs, and the wonderful tangy lemon sauce (there is no sketchy, weird gray chickenish meat, but 2 huge white meat chicken breasts). This is the ONLY place I'll eat Chinese.
Armando D Saenz
Just amazing! Food is definitely the best in Dfw! Fresh hand tossed noodles, services was excellent and very friendly! Nice atmosphere, we drive from Mansfield just to eat here and it's worth it everytime, word of advice get there by 5pm because everyone loves this place!!!!
Linda Claros Huter
I have been going here for almost 20 years. It's the best Chinese restaurant around the DFW area. Thank you for always giving the best service and food!
Craig N Perry
Just the best destination for Chinese cuisine in Dallas. George and April are the best hosts. The food is incredible. The noodles are hand made. OMG, Iām hungry thinking about them.
Daniel Sikora
Buck taught me manners in 1974 over dry stirred beef and egg rolls. Though I live much farther now, the food is always good and consistent. Can't say that about any Chinese in uptown or downtown area. I only get upset when I drive across town and they're not open!
John Boyd
We waited 50 minutes to be seated, but it was worth it. I had a great meal, and will go back.

Had dinner here last night. I really wanted to like this place more! We heard great things about Royal China and were looking forward to trying their xiao long bao. The place has a vibrant atmosphere and we were given a welcoming greeting. Our waitress, however, was less than satisfactory. I can't say she was openly rude, but definitely gave the impression that she would rather be elsewhere. Is it asking too much for a smile and some friendly service? And our soup dumplings arrived deflated, which tells me they had been sitting for a while before she brought them to the table, the unforgivable sin for soup dumplings! The food was tasty and high-quality, but couldn't make up for the service. Not sure we would give this place a second chance
Rachel Ramos Zuniga
We were in town visiting and googled it.This plase was great. Food was great it came out freshly made. The dumplings were amazing. The staff as well was very friendly. Definitely recommend it.
Kimberly Robinson
I love Royal China. The dumplings are the best in town along with the hand pulled noodles. I would highly recommend any of the duck dishes as they are so succulent! I mean you just can't go wrong at Royal China!
Dan Andrews
Possibly the very best Chinese food I have ever tasted(next to Mr Chow in LA) ****
Madison Medrano Antweil
Best chinese cuisine in dallas. No discussion. Super attentive and friendly staff, fresh ingredients that allow you to "taste" everything you order - not just the sauce. If you get the chance, sit by the noodle/dumpling bar - it's pretty neat to watch them make everything from scratch. Delicious meals and a show!
Alex Patton
I really enjoy the authentic Chinese quisine that Royal China serves. All fresh, veggies all done to perfection and there dumplings are out of this world. Not a huge fan of there Egg Rolls but each to their own. Great place since the early 70's.
Praseth Sinn
