It's been a while my last review. What better way to kick back into things than with a review of a Hakka restaurant.
Pros:
Very well priced dishes
Food is well done
Preferred by the locals
Cons:
Restaurant is on the smaller side
I came here based on Yelp reviews looking for a new Hakka place to try. You know I love my Hakka. As soon as I walk in I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed. This place is a definite favourite of the local Indian and Chinese population. It's the same with Frederick's, which is still my all time fav. That's really the telling sign that you're a good Hakka place.
We came in early so we were seated promptly. By the time it was 630pm the place was packed. Being a local favourtie, you get entire families coming in to eat together here. Sometimes that families are 10+ ppl huge. Seating becomes a problem then because the place is rather small. I find a lot of their clients just order take out as well.
So of course we order our staples, the chili chicken and kan shue green beans. These are the two dishes I believe a Hakka restaurant absolutely needs to do well. This place does not disappoint at all. I still feel Frederick's is better but this place does a good rendition of it as well. The portion size is OK too but I felt there was a lot of onion used as filler. No matter, still a very good meal.
Prices here are also very good. We ordered 3 dishes total. Each dish comes with a bowl of rice for free as well. All together it was less than $30 after taxes. Gotta love that!!
All in all, Royal Chinese Seafood is another very good Hakka restaurant. Just be prepared to com a little earlier before the larger familes pile on in!
