Truly a favorite seafood place of most chinese families, Royal Kitchen Seafood restaurant continues to wow me with their new dishes every time I visit. It's usually my mom who does the seafood shopping and talking with how they're gonna be cooked so I have no idea at all. What I can share with you are some tips and recommendations!1)If youre visiting on a weekend, expect people to be many and waiting time. So be early. If you are bringing guests from other countries and you want to impress them with our rich seafood... Just make a reservation! I was sixth in line when I arrived and we waited for a while because the place was really full, but luckily there was an open slot for us and my mom negotiated with them. In short, they don't bite and they make sure everyone gets a seat.2) It's also best to have someone wait for a table while the other buys seafood. Then talk to the lady who takes orders (how you want your food to be cooked, what style, etc) So when you have a table already you just wait for the food. They cook their food very fast so theres no waiting time at all.3) changing plates is not USO here. They give you a bucket where you can put all your waste. You clean your own plate. Don't ask their waitresses to change your plates or else you will here one of their staff saying that it's not uso anymore teach them to use the bucket! Haha!4) everything is fast paced here, so enjoy your food!!5) get the tempura, lobster with noodles (trust me the sauce is perfect), clam soup with tofu, spareribs, elephant shell with yummy garlic sauceComments ~Their garlic rice is yummy and we always get that! But this time there was too much butter!!! The tempura we had that night WAS AMAZING. Yuuuuum!!!!Don't expect service to be impeccable because like I said, everything is fast-paced there, your sossy self will not be entertained there. You will definitely enjoy eating there I swear!

The place serves good cooked food. You may purchase your own fish,crab,shrimp,other seafoods for them to cook. I must admit we actually order here often and ask them.to cook for us. Good place to eat. Downside? We have to ask for things like eaiter won't bring water until you ask. But the place is great place to eat.

Its our 1st time to try royal kitchen seafood we usually go to aling tonyangs, bahay dampa. Well we had our family dinner here after roaming at the mall. You can buy at the market and let them cooks for you and you can order food on their menu. Food tasted good. Place is ok. Service is not that ok.

I am delighted with how they prepared my food. Taste is great. Service is okay. They just need to add more staff during weekend nights. Will definitely go back when we craved seafood paluto.

Ate here with fam and friends - we picked our seafood from the market then brought it back in the restaurant. My favorites are the baked scallops - the cheese is so good, and tempura - the shrimp is big, and the batter is light and fluffy. The salted egg crab is really good too - just hard to eat.Other dishes in the photo: Clam Soup, Steamed Pampano, Steamed suahe.

Went here with friends going home from an out of town trip. Prior to this trip and review, i have visited this resto for some years now at least once a year. If only it wasn’t too far from our place. Loved how they cook up a feast with what you purchased from the market. They will tell you which ones are suitable for their cooking style. From our market list of the squids, tiger prawns and prawns, scallop, clams, crabs Royal Kitchen turned them into the following incredible dishes:👉 Seaweed Ensalada - got the seaweeds free from our market trip. This is the usual appetizer we have. Salty and sour slimy seaweeds. 👉 Adobo Squid - the best one we’ve had. It was very flavorful, a memorable one! 👉 Squid Calamari - didn’t like this after a few mouthful. It becomes dry when not warm. Really preferred the adobo squid over this one. 👉 Tempura - loved how they lightly put breadings on this one. Became also succulently delish since its tiger prawns. 👉 Butter Garlic Shrimps - cooked just right. The butter garlic was amazing. Loved to scoops lots of the sauce over plain rice. 👉 Cheesy Baked Scallops - melted cheese on top of fresh scallops? To die for!👉 Taosi Clams - just the right amount of taosi (salted fermented black beans?) make the sauce just right. Have a spoonful of those tiny clam flesh is absolute yum!👉 Salted Egg Crabs - the salted egg coating on this one was fantastic. Just preferred if our crabs were not the while ones and just the claws. Realized i only took three pictures because i digged in to this the moment its out. Overall, went out of Royal Kitchen feeling royally stuffed with delightful meals. 😉

A very good restaurant with so much to offer!  We are only 2 for this dining round and were very full and satisfied with how our food were cooked!  I think I owned the buttered shrimp it gave me a high blood!Sorry but I don't know what the name of the fish dish is.  It was a selection of my food buddy.  The pancit is not bad at all too!

Had dinner with the extended family.  Place was full with local and foreign diners.  Seafood selection and purchase was done by our host but cooked in-house.  Taste was very good to excellent.  Service was fast and servers were friendly.  Difficult parking. Rated 4.0-----------------Had dinner again with the extended family.  The place was full, as expected.  However, this time we had a bad experience.  The prawns our host bought and brought in was served to another group.  Though management paid for the prawns, this shows poor coordination between the kitchen and the servers.Rated 2.0 ------------------Had dinner again with the extended family.  While the food is good, food cooking coordination is still poor.
