We came here on a Sunday afternoon for some dim sum. Upon walking in, yup, all Asians and many of the staff were speaking Cantonese. Ah, my peoples!!!!!
They actually come around with the hot carts and other waiters come by with platters that you just choose from. If you didn't speak the language though, there may be a bit of a language barrier. I love ordering this way.
The staff are super efficient at picking up empty plates from the table to make room for more.
The place is pretty loud. I actually felt like I was back in Hong Kong.
The prices aren't really listed and when we went to pay, I was a little shocked at how high it was. Guess we're not in Chinatown anymore, Toto!
But for this area, it was such good dim sum. So authentic and genuine the whole experience. I definitely want to bring my parents here one day!
Have been here for dinner with friends for Chinese New Year weekend for the last couple of years. The friend who arranges it is Chinese American herself so speaks the language & knows the owners. Always orders everything, so I would have no clue what to order if I wet on my own LOL.
Food is great and comes out fast. Nice portion sizes & reasonable prices. Some of the fish & pork dishes have been especially delicious!
BYOB.
This place has solid dim sum. My family is picky when it comes to dim sum so we make the 30 minute trek here to get some delicious food. It's very crowded on Sundays (especially from 11 AM – 2 PM) and there is a good chance you will have to wait. Come here on Saturday and you won't have to wait as long!
Royal Seafood also has some "American" dishes in their dim sum rotation, which is kinda weird. They had fried chicken last time I checked. I didn't grab it but I guess they wanted to appeal to their non-Chinese clientele or get dim sum newcomers acquainted with the cuisine.
Until better dim sum places open up in the area, Royal Seafood will be our go-to place!
How can you tell that you've arrived at a good dimsum restaurant? First, you know the dimsum game is real when you see the implementation of pushcarts. Second, the crowds start coming in fast right after the doors opens. And third, the waiting game. But the best things come to those who wait so I ain't complainin'.
Still the best Dimsum in NJ! All the specials come out early: Clams in Black Bean sauce, Crabs Cantonese, Roast Duck, Soft Shell Crabs in addition to the standards such as Shumai, Pork Ribs, Congee, Pork Bun.
Come early, it gets busy for Sunday Brunch
Came here on a whim for dinner and it was great. Everything is served family style. Get the Peking duck…it's amazing. They serve it to you with these little pancake pockets. Yum!! Service could be faster but can't complain too much. We didn't have to wait for a table on a Saturday night so that was great too. My family and I also want to try their dim sum one weekend.
Come early because it gets really busy! The service here is fast and frequent. They definitely have enough people with carts and trays. The variety is what I would expect from a dim sum selection. Standard stuff ended up on our table…dumplings that had shrimp, shumai, wide noodles, spare ribs, pork buns, and wrapped rice. Depending on the size of your party, you may or may not share a table. I would definitely come back again for dim sum! It's my 2nd go to for dim sum in NJ!
If The Avengers were based in NJ and/or were real, I think they'd come here after every battle with the sinister forces of evil. There's something for everyone: BYOB for Tony Stark and splitting the bill = no one pays more than $20 which = Spiderman is totally down.
They've got something for everyone…I would try everything and anything at least once…not just here, but in life.
Mind blown, right?
You learn a lot too, so it's also an educational and cultural experience.
We were there for about 3 hours last time and when the check came it was like, cheap.
I brought wine and soju and they have little cups for tea that you can use for shots.
Go, be free.
