"Gwinnett County has become a major destination for all manner of Asian fare in Atlanta, and Royal China firmly planted in a nondescript shopping center is a prime example. Once inside, you’ll feel transported to a Taiwanese event hall, complete with gaudy chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling floral silks. During dim sum hours, servers criss-cross the dining room pushing metal carts full of bite-sized delights, barking out scant descriptions as they go along. There are plenty of house specialties—baskets of steaming pork and shrimp dumplings, pan-fried fish cakes, shrimp-stuffed bean curd, cheong fun (rice noodle rolls drizzled with soy sauce), sweet barbecue pork buns, and more—so be sure to bring a good group of friends who are willing to sample everything (and to share, of course)." - Jennifer Bradley Franklin
