Excellent old style dim sum. You know it’s good when elderly uncles aunties gather on a sunday for dim sum. Shout out to these dishes - pearl balls (minced pork ball covered with glutinous rice, delicious), and wu har (shredded yam with prawns, a popular southern chinese dish my grandma used to make!). Friendly aunties serving food and speaking Taishan or Toi Shan, giving a vibe that is authentic. Very busy on Sunday so come early before 10am.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids with families. Dim sum is good for children and sweet dim sum available.
I had dined at Royal Seafood after doing lots of research on the best restaurants in Chinatown and this was rated one of the top 27. I was very disappointed and would not recommend it. The service was terrible. We had to wave them over any time we wanted attention and it took 40 minutes to place an order. Articles mentioned dim sum carts, those were not a part of our experience. The food was decent but very fishy. The house fried rice had dried shrimp in it and one of the children at the table had a shrimp allergy and the server was not willing to give us a fried rice without shrimp. I would notrecommend this restaurant. There are so many other options in Chinatown.

Sunday morning, and the selection is lacking. They don't even have sesame balls today? Would still use for takeout since you immediately know what you can get, but poor experience sitting in.

The quality of the food is generally very high.Over the past few years the quantity on the platter seems to be diminishing for banquets. They used to give you great stuff, but now the price is higher and the quantity is smaller. Banquet style service is good, but the wait staff seem less patient than years back. Maybe short staffed or maybe over worked. They don't spend as much time on the table service and are quick to rush off to another table.Good quality ingredients. Big prawn shrimp in the shrimp and lobster sauce, unlike many places that use smaller or just medium sized shrimp. But they charge almost twice as much. So you are definitely paying for the quality.Takeout quality is as good as dine-in, but they charge you a bit extra. So the price is not the menu price. Expect to pay up to 10% more.

Dim sum nowadays are not as good as they used to be inspite of the fact the price got doubled. Sometimes 1 bite is salty, next bite is not salty, seems not well seasoned. Change their chef?
This place was great! The food was delicious and the service was very good. We tried some recommendations from our wait staff and were not disappointed. Not very crowded at all, and staffing was very helpful. There is a parking garage across the street which is very convenient. The bathrooms are clean, but they could use some updating and maybe better placement as they are in the basement.

This is my absolute favorite place for dim sum!!!! I take out usually on the weekend and it is always quite busy. I will say the vast majority of their customers can speak mandarin though. Always satisfies my cravings and always consistent!

I went here for a Chinese New Year celebration with a bunch of friends, and I'll be dragon myself back for more! (It's the year of the dragon, get it, lol.) It was kind of empty, but it was a Thursday night, so maybe we just were there on an off night, or there was an issue with the health inspector grade that we didn't know about. Anyway, our group of 10 had a variety of food, duck, fried rice, seafood, broccoli...it all was pretty good. The best was the peking pork chops. If I didn't have to share, I would've ate so much that they would be "peeking" out of my butt before the meal ended and I would've had to destroy the restaurant's bathroom. Final note, don't judge a restaurant by its website. This place has Geocities era interface and I was concerned about attending based on this poor technology alone, I like to have a good view of the menu before I go somewhere. Luckily my mistress vouched for the place and she was right, she, my friends, my wife, and I had a good time.

Wonderful place to have Dim Sum right before the Lunar New Year parade. Bit of a wait and crowded but it was well worth it. Had a few dumpling dishes and pork buns. Love the decor as well. Great service.
