Royal China Restaurant

"Since the relocation from Chamblee to Duluth in 2019, Royal China remained undefeated in terms of glamor and glitz until new competition moved in down the road — looking at you, Canton House. Although, it hasn’t slowed this place down — patrons wait patiently for the doors to open at 10 a.m. on weekends. Since the dining room is so large, you will want to plan accordingly once a cart comes by, as you may not see the same one pop up again. Multiple carts divided between steamed and baked/fried items range from shrimp rice noodle rolls, ginger scallion tripe, and beancurd skin rolls to char siu baos, egg custard tarts, and fried shrimp wrapped in bacon. Dim sum carts start rolling at opening til 3 p.m., while the kitchen doesn’t open for everything else until 11 a.m." - Candy Hom

"Looking for dim sum? Look no further than Royal China, which continues to serve some of metro Atlanta’s finest dim sum. The restaurant and banquet hall sees push carts rolling through the dining room offering everything from rice noodle rolls, a selection of shumai and dumplings, and buns stuffed with pork, red bean paste, and custard to fried sesame balls, steamed chicken feet, and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves. And the Peking duck served here is expertly carved table side." - Michael Tran, Eater Staff

"Royal China is a Chinese restaurant in Duluth with elaborate decor, chandeliers, and enough space to host a wedding with 500 of your closest friends. Whether you stroll in hungover in sweats or come dressed to the nines to enjoy a 12-course banquet in one of the private rooms, Royal China can do chi-chi and non-pretentious, simultaneously. Come here before noon for dim sum, as they get packed quickly despite the abundant seating. Their excellent Peking duck is on par with Chef’s House, too. Or come for dinner, when we love perusing their photo-centric magazine-style menu, looking for different dishes to try since we’ve yet to be disappointed with anything we’ve had here. " - candy hom

"Known as one of the best dim sum restaurants in Atlanta, Royal China offers a classic Hong Kong restaurant experience with its on point decor (think gold chandeliers and comparable bling), and a notably comprehensive menu. Optimized for large functions and wedding banquets, Royal China delivers one of the most quintessential Cantonese dishes — steamed whole fish. Exceptionally fresh, the fish is delicately steamed, whole, with just ginger, scallions, and soy sauce to preserve the texture and natural flavors. This is a true Cantonese classic done to perfection — with a genuine Cantonese restaurant atmosphere to boot." - Susie Chow

"Royal China in Duluth is the best spot for a full, traditional dim sum experience since they have a ton of offerings. Picture chandeliers and beautifully decorated private banquet rooms—where there’s a good chance you’ll glimpse a wedding reception. Steamer carts make their way around the room while sounds of chatter echo off the high ceilings. We’ve never had an item we didn’t like here. But if we’re picking favorites, we like the steamed shrimp rice rolls, ginger scallion tripe, and beancurd skin rolls. The place is always busy, so order knowing items sell out quickly and may not restock again during your meal. And keep in mind while dim sum opens at 10am, the kitchen doesn’t open for entrees until 11am." - candy hom
