Dim Sum @ Royal Tea House, Richmond Hill

Royal Tea House is a perennial favorite among some of my friends for their good value Dim Sum. Located on Woodbine and 16th Avenue, this was my first visit to the restaurant where we ordered quite a few Dim Sum Dishes.


Ham Sui Kok (Deep Fried Glutinous Rice Dumplings

The Rice Dumpling was quite crispy and had a nice chewiness to it. However there was too little Minced Meat filling inside


Cha Leong (Flat Rice Noodles wrapped in Deep Fried Crullers)
Cha LeongThe Deep Fried Crullers were a little too dense and chewy for my liking


Pan Fried Radish Cake

This was pretty good. The Radish Cake had a nice crunchy exterior and was quite soft inside


Roasted Pork Neck

My favorite of all the Dim Sum dishes. The Pork Neck was chewy and had a very nice Char Siew Flavor.

The Siu Mai had the right amount of Meat and Fat Ratio and was quite flavorful

Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings)

The skin was a little too thick and the Prawns were not very big. I prefer the one's at Casa Victoria and Crown Prince

Spare Ribs with Black Bean Sauce

The Spare Ribs was very good. It had a lot of meat and the added Chili Slices help give it a little spiciness


Overall I found the quality of the Dim Sum at Royal Tea House was decent but definitely could not compare with Casa Victoria and Crown Princess (my two favorite Dim Sum places). However if one were to factor in the price this is definitely a good place for value Dim Sum
