Royal China Restaurant Review:
There's a reason folks have been flocking to this Preston Hollow gem for forty years --- okay, several reasons. The first: The extensive menu that includes everyone's Chinese-American favorites, executed better than you've ever imagined. Sesame chicken, gloppy and sticky-sweet at most takeout and delivery joints, here is light, crispy and flavorful. Ditto for the fried rice, which is made just right with its blend of soy sauce, tender vegetables and big, succulent chunks of white meat chicken; it won't leave you feeling like you need a nap (or an MSG detox). The second: The highly entertaining noodle and dumpling bar where you can watch skilled chefs stretch, pull and fold tasty chewy noodles and dumplings to order, including the can’t-miss soup dumplings, delicate little purses bursting with collagen-rich pork broth. The third: The dining room, which sports a sleek and modern look with splashes of bright red paint and lacquer and plenty of classy, not kitschy, Chinese accents. The fourth: Thoughtful, unobtrusive service and a staff that’s on a first-name basis with its many regulars. Need we say more?
