Royal City Restaurant & Tavern

Loved this place, great taste and amazing prices! They no longer offer buffet but still do dine in and take out. This cost my family of 5 about $100+. Thank you Royal City!

The food was plentiful,and fresh.Great service,and super friendly.The pricing was very reasonable.

I am not a big fan of Chinese food. But this is aces to me the chicken balls are almost perfect. Egg rolls absolutely delicious. It's my very favorite guilty pleasure. Besides all that the staff is wonderful. They great everyone. They are very nice to everyone. The price is awesome. What is not to love as long as I'm in Guelph Ontario this is my favorite place. You guys rock fan for life. I'm going to call in about 5 minutes. Thanks so much.

Omg I am so upset yesterday was the very first time I ever got food from them that wasn't very good at all even when busy it's be 100 percent. Last night was so upset I love food but every one is allowed 1 I still think they are the best my chicken balls were not cooked n they didn't taste right but I gave my neighbor the rest he was very happy just to have food.

I've been going here for a long time. I always get special dinner for 4 and sometimes add honey garlic ribs with it. Tons of food and cheap at around $51.

The food is always fresh and always packaged properly.

Fast as hell service too they usually have it ready in 10 minutes.

The service is great the food is terrific with good portions and they are quick to bring your order.if you go away hungry that's on you keep up the 5 star service.very tastey.

Smaller buffet overall but still a good selection. I think about 20 items, plus small salad bar, soup and dessert. Overall good food. Very friendly service.
They're constantly refilling items. Everything I had was fresh and hot and tasted good.

I've been going to Royal city for over 30 years. Hands down the best Chinese food around. I come from Hamilton to pick up food here and bring it home. The ladies that run the place treat my family like family.

Have been ordering takeout from here for many years. They have always been consistent in food quality and order accuracy. Their prices are also very competitive. Great place and people, definitely recommend. I just wish they had crab claw balls; but nowhere else in Guelph have them either unfortunately. Their hot and sour soup is the best in the area for sure.

Sorry to say there is no buffet. Dine-in off the menu, pick-up and delivery still going strong. My favourite is their Wonton soup. Staff friendly.

My family has been going here for decades. I still order here and do an hour of driving to pick up the food now that we no longer live in Guelph.

The price is reasonable and the food is amazing.

No complaints, but I've never dined in so I can't comment on the "atmosphere".

Food is always great! Highly recommend the chicken wings

Ordered the Chicken Fried Rice, Egg Roll, and Chicken Balls. Might I add, it was only $10 for a fully customizable plate. Food was out extremely fast. The staff were nice and the food was great. Highly recommend!

I'm a local Guelphite and Royal City has been here forever. The food is always the same quality. In my opinion it has gotten better through the pandemic. The staff are always friendly, smiling and ready to help or offer a suggestion if your not sure. Highly recommend them.

My family and I have been ordering from here for over 8 years. We have not had it for the last year or so because of covid though. We ordered tonight and I dont know what they've done different if its a new chef or owners but the quality of the food is 10x better. The chicken wings were MASSIVE , everything was crunchy not oily and soggy. Garlic and ginger were perfectly applied to everything. The food got here quick and hot. The chicken balls had more meat than bread almost more than anywhere else I've ordered, not sure what buddy is talking about in the other review. I think someone was just having a bad day. Honestly have absolutely nothing to complain about. Good job guys 👌

We went for my husband's birthday 🎂

Service was fast! The food was awesome! I had to take half of it home, though as it was A LOT!

The only thing I would like to see is for them to update the restaurant part and bring back the Buffet!!

Yummy food, super quick and friendly service!

My first time here just because I was hungry and it was right there....and what a nice little surprise. The food was quite good and the proportion was very generous. The buffet was still closed so I had a takeout. I like how they prepared their fried rice; it's a certain Chinese style which I like.

The chicken meat balls had too much batter, but the meat in the rice and noodles are healthy portions. You WILL get enough protein here.

I like how they still put their takeout food in aluminum containers which kept the food warm for a long time. I am coming back to this place and I hope their buffet opens soon also.

One of the staff is less polite and personable, but I'm still giving them a 5-star overall.

Good food as well as good portions for a cheap price. Recommend to anyone looking to try Chinese food. Great service too.

Pre pandemic I loved going for their buffet. Yummy and affordable.
Since the pandemic, they have been my go to place for restaurant food. I order from them every week, and I have never had a bad experience.
I love their General Tao, and chicken fried rice!
It's great to see a family owned and operated business still running when so many others have fallen.

The food is so yummy and fresh, very friendly service and extremely fast… and all this at a great price! Couldn’t ask for more!
