Royal Seafood - New York

I booked this restaurant for my grandmother?s 96th birthday. Ordered 18 courses per table and had 8 tables. They sectioned off 1/2 the restaurant for us which was great. Felt very private. They also accommodated our family picture taking. The staff was very good. Food was excellent. Authentic Cantonese cuisine. Next time will reserve the whole restaurant. We ordered a lot of seafood and a king crab for each table.

Pretty good dim sum selection, very much focused on the standard Cantonese specialties. You can get the dim sum cart experience here as well as the typical Chinese service experience, meaning that they are fast and efficient but not the friendliest. It gets very crowded during weekend dim sum hours, And it is likely if you are a party of less than four that you will be sharing a table with another party, but that?s OK because you came for the food, right? They make verygood steamed black bean spareribs, steamed rice noodle rolls, and a variety of delicious Dim Sum dumplings, including ha gow and ham sui gok. The variety wasn?t as extensive as I was hoping though, as they didn?t have the shrimp and chivedumplings I like, or mango pudding or tofu pudding when I went. They do at a surcharge to your bill for paying with a credit card, so keep that in mind. And another thing: They need to update the signage in their restaurant, as the doorthat says ?employees only? is actually where the restroom is, and that can get very confusing!

High quality dim sum. So tasty I wouldn?t mind waiting an hour to try it again. I truly enjoyed the experience of going with Asian friends and they ordered for me. Love it. Definitely a must if you?re in the area.

I give a five for the excellent food at an excellent price. I think I was the only non Asian person eating this afternoon at the restaurant. I was seated with a Lovely asian couple. The service was great and accommodating and we were able to communicate. Next time I will come prepared with some pictures with chinise names of the dishes I want. The lobster and scallions was great. They have a softshell crab dish I want to try, the noodles very popular among the people waseating today. Dim sum is easy and great, but take a challenge and try other dishes, you will not be disappointed.

Delicious. even the wonton soup was fire. cant wait to try more dishes.
