I was surprised there were only 2 reviews here, but it's because it's new (former site of Dun Huang Seafood restaurant). Place was very crowded by 10:30am, but there were open tables; go early in the morning; harder to get a table in the afternoon. Waiter was nice, made sure our tea pot was filled and placed our orders. Dim sum lacked variety; most of the fare seemed fried with meat. Even the fried taro buns were stuffed with pork. Other dim sum places seem to have much more variety. Seafood was mostly absent from the dim sum.

We went to Royal Seafood with a party of 52 (adults, teenagers and exhange students) on Saturday night. This place worked fabulously. We arranged a set menu in advance with Stanley, the manager. When we arrived, 5 big round tables in the back of this big dining room were all set and ready to go for us. The food was decent - we had ordered many "standards" - the big shrimp dish and sauteed string beans with garlic were my 2 faves. More importantly, Stanley, Alex and the waitcrew never rushed us. Every new request was met with a "no problem" response. Will this place win a culinary award? Unlikely. However, if you're looking for a Chinese restaurant to introduce your out-of-town friends to a classic Chinatown experiene or you have a large group, this place was a good value and worked perfectly for us.

I use to love the dim sum from this place, I could call it the best of Chinatown. BUT... this place had the worst waiters & waitresses in the planet! Our group was ask to move to another table while we're enjoying our food. The waiter gives us no choice, so we had to move to another table. We tried to bargain a reasonable "FREE tea cost" for this rudeness, but the waitress refuses. We had a hard time at this place. If there's a better place w/ the same quality of dim sum, I would go elsewhere.
