The Space
Walking into Royal China, the first thing that struck me was how beautiful and huge it is. (Totally forgot to take a picture!)
The high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and classic Chinese banquet-hall style give it an elegant but welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of place that feels perfect for:
- Large family gatherings
- Ballroom-style wedding banquets
- Celebrations and special events
- Big dim sum weekends
The space alone sets it apart from a lot of smaller dim sum spots in the Atlanta area.
What We Ordered (Dim Sum Favorites)
We came for dim sum, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. If you're unfamiliar with dim sum, it's a traditional Cantonese meal where servers wheel carts through the dining room, each loaded with different small dishes. You can simply point to the ones you want as they pass by - super fun and perfect for trying lots of flavors.
Here's what we ordered:
Xiao Long Bao 小籠包 (Soup Dumplings)
Juicy, savory, and beautifully wrapped.
Char Siu Bao 叉燒包 (BBQ Pork Buns)
Soft, fluffy buns filled with sweet-salty roasted pork.
Steamed Pork Spare Ribs 豉汁蒸排骨
Classic dim sum comfort food.
Tofu Skin Rolls with Pork 腐皮卷
Tender pork wrapped in silky tofu skin - so good!
Siu Mai / Shumai 燒賣
Plump, meaty pork & shrimp dumplings. Always a must-order-one of my faves!
Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls 蝦腸粉 (Cheung Fun)
Tender rice noodles wrapped around shrimp, topped with a light savory sauce. My childhood favorite!
Egg Tarts 蛋撻
Flaky pastry + creamy custard. These were AMAZING-perfect texture and flavor.
