Customer Reviews
Legit family run Cantonese/Chinese American food. Very nostalgic. The food and atmosphere are amazing. The kind of place where they know their regulars by name. The chasiu (BBQ pork) is outstanding. The eggs rolls are the best. They took great care to make me tea while I was waiting for takeout and send me home with an extra big cup for my wife. Absolutely will be back. They even have the banquet tables with the spinning tray for large groups.
Always tasty & great portion sizes! They do an excellent job, whether you’re eating in or getting takeout.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding! Royal Cantonese is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, the owners greeted us like family. They even said I looked like a friend of theirs—such warm and funny people! Their hospitality made the entire experience feel so special. And the food? Wow. We ordered the sweet and sour chicken and the beef and broccoli, and both dishes were absolutely incredible. The chicken was perfectly crispy with just the right balance of tangy and sweet, and the beef was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with fresh, crisp broccoli. This place is a gem! If you’re looking for amazing food and wonderful people, Royal Cantonese is a must-visit. I’m already planning my next trip back!
Update, STILL great food and service! The egg rolls and savory shrimp are amazing! Some of the very best egg rolls in lake county!! Great service and really nice happy hour food specials. Also if you're a barfly, they have one of the nicest bars in the area
