Royal China Restaurant
Tucked away in Santa Rosa at 3080 Marlow Rd Ste 4, the Royal China Restaurant is a solid go-to if you're craving Chinese comfort food with a side of laid-back vibes. It’s the kind of spot where you can roll in with your family, a group of friends, or even your pup—yes, dogs are allowed—and just kick back without worrying about stuffy dining rules.
Right off the bat, the menu hits hard with some classic favorites. If you’re into bold flavors, don’t sleep on their Mongolian Beef—it’s got just the right amount of heat and sweetness, tossed with tender beef and scallions. Fans of seafood rave about the Walnut Prawns, perfectly crispy with that signature creamy glaze that hits all the right notes. Of course, you can't go wrong with a big plate of Chow Mein or the slightly chewy, soy-slicked Chicken Chow Fun. And let’s be real—Orange Chicken is always a winner, especially here where the sauce leans tangy-sweet without overpowering the crispy coating.
The ambiance? Think moderate noise where conversation flows easily, making it great for groups or even a chill meal with the kids. Service is friendly and fast, and there’s a nice energy without things feeling rushed. Whether you’re dropping in for a quick weekday lunch or planning a casual dinner hangout, it’s got that easy-going feel that keeps people coming back.
Royal China Restaurant doesn’t try too hard—and that’s kind of the magic. It sticks to what it does best: good food, generous portions, and a relaxed atmosphere. No pretension, just consistently tasty eats and a place where everyone feels welcome.
Reviews
Excellent food and prompt service. The restaurant was clean. Service was friendly. My teenage granddaughter enjoyed it too.
Every time I'm visiting home and have a craving for Chinese food, this is the place I go to satiate that craving. The staff is really friendly and the ambiance is nice and modern; I like how the bar is set up. We always order a jasmine tea, so delicious sipping on it before and after your meal. Everything we get comes out really quick and it's always tasty and delicious. Last time we got the cashew shrimp, chicken eggplant, and the combination chow mein. Sooooooo good. I want to try other dishes like the mapo tofu. Highly recommend coming here if you haven't been here before...you won't be disappointed!
Consistently fantastic food and consistently wonderful service. Royal China was our top pick for Chinese food in the area whenever the craving hit so we highly recommend it.
The service was amazing and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The portion sizes are big and the taste is delicious. You can see the cook in the kitchen so they make everything on the spot. Also, the decorations for the restaurant is really cute. I had a wonderful time with my mom and we would go back again.
I stopped in here on a whim while looking for a new place to try for lunch. The interior was quite elegant and inviting. I was engaged by staff immediately and I asked to order takeout. My order was taken immediately and I was asked if I would like to sit at the bar for my approximately ten minutes wait. Provided an Ice cold glass of water I enjoyed the nice ambiance and was checked on twice by the attentive staff. I took my food home and the smell was torturously good. I had the two dishes I always get at a new place as a benchmark combination fried rice and mu shu pork; both were excellent, as delicious as any I have had in Santa Rosa. I will be returning to Royal China Restaurant to try their other dishes maybe with photos next time.
