The Royal Chinese Restaurant

I ordered shrimp fried rice and showed the woman how dark I like it only for them to give me opposite and only put 5 small shrimps filled with rice. I didn’t pay almost $25 for shrimp fried rice with only 5 pieces of small shrimps filled. I also got sweet chilli chicken and asked her if it’ll be sweet and she said yes. No sweetness at all. It didn’t even taste like chicken, it tastes like fats with flour mix…food is disgusting. I feel taken advantage of. It seems like you actually have to eat in the restaurant to get good quality food. The pictures I showed in the review is nothing compared to what I received. I spent $45 here and I’m not really impressed especially given I was hungry and got it as take out so I wasn’t able to even see the food before I left. The audacity for them to ask for a tip for a takeout. I’m happy I didn’t tip because I would have been furious if I tipped and got this disgusting food. I ended up throwing the food out it was just gross. Never will I buy food from this place again. It was my first time and worse. I live across the street and thought I should buy it…but never again I’ll just continue going to sushi boil next door…food is better there and great quality for good value.

A very busy restaurant with a wide selection of Cantonese food. Parking is very limited, you may have to wait a while to get a parking spot. You can smell the "wok hay" as soon as you enter the restaurant. Both of the dishes we ordered (deep fried shrimp and deep fried bitter melon with egg yolks) came piping hot, both are tasty. We saw many people ordering food served in a pot as well as seafood. Will try that next time.

First time coming to this restaurant under good recommendations and was pleasantly surprised This place fills in quickly, even on a weekday, so be sure to come hungry and early. They operate 7 days a week between 3pm and 1 am All the staff is very helpful and welcoming. They completely work as a team and our table service is not designated to any one server. All service was attentive, constant and friendly. One of them even reminded us not to reheat one of the dishes in the microwave as it would ruin it The portion sizes are generous and they don't skimp on the ingredient, especially the meat (I love meat). The meal we ordered came with a savory and delicious free soup (Pears, Figs and Pork) as well as a sweet serving of Red Bean and Sago dessert congee The family meal for 4 for $75 is an awesome choice plus there was more than enough for take out! Definitely try The Royal Chinese Restaurant at the corner of Birchmount and Sheppard Ave!

Large food portions, great service and delicious eats. Sizzling beef, garlic pork chops and fried rice were really good. We got the bamboo fried rice with king shrimp. This was big enough to feed 5-6 ppl. We also got beed flat rice noodles, which was good and fried squid - would skip this if you don't have a large gp of people.

You can’t come here without ordering the King Whole Shrimp with Garlic Fried Rice. Literally everyone around us ordered the dish and once I took a bite I understood why this dish is so popular. There was a healthy portion of minced garlic in each bite and the shrimp was really flavorful. One of our favorite dishes is Sweet and Sour Pork and we like to gauge how it stacks compared to other places. I have to say that this place does it right. The pork was cooked where it was crispy well after it was served and the meat was nice and juicy. We also wanted to try something different so we ordered the Fried Oyster with Honey Pepper and I have to say we were all really surprised at how well balanced all the flavors were. We really enjoyed our experience. This place is pretty far from us or we would most likely add it to our rotation.

First time at this restaurant. The decor is as expected for a stir-fry restaurant. Nice mix of small, mid and large-size tables available. The servers were sociable, friendly and efficient. Lots of dishes on the menu and all along the wall to choose from. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous. Fabulous place for a delicious meal and they are open 7 days a week!

Did the fam jam here for lunar new year and everyone basically enjoyed themselves. When i stepped into this restaurant, i felt like i was back in Asia with the hustle and bustle of servers rushing about putting food on the tables. There were chinese writings on the walls with all the various dishes and very affordable prices. No worries, they do have menus in English as well. All the tables were full, so it was a good thing we reserved a table before hand. We chose from a set menu and also added some extra dishes. Each dish came in generous portions, and they were all delicious!! Some notable favorites were the crab claws, salt and pepper squid, and pork chops. Service was very fast, and the servers were friendly and helpful. The only thing that stopped me from giving a full 5 star rating is the lack of washroom cleanliness. But yeah, great place for authentic Cantonese dishes.
