Royal Wok Chinese Restaurant

The lady was so sweet. She welcomed us and invited us to dine in even though we showed up 40 minutes before closing time on a Monday. The type of enthusiasm that makes you feel valued not just as a customer but out of human kindness. She plated the table fully and made our first time dining experience memorable. She was so attentive and even pulled a chair to the side so I could place my purse. We mentioned we were waiting on a friend to arrive and she catered to our needs by making sure (out of politeness) to bring the entrees out when he arrived. While we prayed they also made sure not to interrupt with the plating. It’s a small gesture of respect that made me reflect on times I maybe could have been more mindful of other’s beliefs or cultures. The food was beautifully plated and served as community dining. This felt like thanksgiving in May. The prices were reasonable but the experience….you just can’t put a price on that.

While the staff are very friendly - the food is not that great. I got the spicy fried chicken- and it was not very fried and not very spicy. Not sure if the order was messed up, but was very disappointed

2024 edit: Terrible does not begin to describe the last two visits. We were so disappointed with our take-out three months ago, we didn't return until tonight: New Years Eve 2024. "Terrible" would be overselling the food, as it was nearly inedible. I am going to highlight one item, as I do not wish to put more energy than necessary into a worthless cause. The crab wontons were darker than the crust on wheat bread (see photos). They looked like they had been deep fried over again to reheat them, at least once; possibly twice. If this had happened any other night of the year, I would have returned with this literally hot garbage, and demanded to speak with the manager. At this point, I don't care. I'm not going to post photos of the other entrees. The rest of the food is in the garbage can. I felt really bad for the garbage can, even though it's inanimate. Nothing deserves to hold this, other than the hands which cooked it and put it into a container. We will never return. They do not get three strikes. It's over.

This place is fantastic!! I had a great experience. Food was so savory. We ordered Imperial shrimp and sweet and sour shrimp and it was authentic flavors. I was amazed to have found this gem. Absolutely recommend this restaurant. Service was top notch and the waitress made such a nice experience.

We’ve been going for ages whenever we’re in the area. Food is always delicious, service is always awesome. Staff is super sweet! Feels like a small family owned business and we love it for that.
