Royal Palace Seafood

Dinnertime. Van Dragon is definitely a restaurant for the locals. No fancy decor. No fancy plating. Just decent Cantonese dishes and good prices. Highlights were their XO sauce halibut and Eggplant with beef. The soya chicken comes with their dinner specials is also delicious.

I like these kinds of East Vancouver Chinese restaurants.  Richmond restaurants are good, usually the food is better, but my heart is with the Vancouver restaurants.  <br/ <br/ Came here 3 times, twice for dinner and once for dim sum.  Dinner last time was a 2 course Peking Duck for two.  We had a few beers too.  The value in this kind of dinner is amazing.  Plus it was very good, nice crepes and a little meat left on the duck skin.  Special points for the best head of lettuce ever.<br/ <br/ Dim sum this morning was very good.  We stuck to the usual suspects har gow, sticky rice, shrimp rice roll etc. and they were all done well.  So highly recommended, especially if you are also fond of East Van restaurants.

Came here for dinner. Ordered the 3和菜 for about $55. Tried the Bittermelon with Pork Neck and that was pretty good the bittermelon was soft and not too bitter, and the pork wasn't fat. Their Scrambled Eggs with Prawn was surprisingly delicious! It was leaning towards the salty side, but it was still delicious (but anymore salt and it would've been a little salty). The Halibut and Tofu Pot was just average.

Tea is free, service is excellent, servers are friendly and attentive. Dishes are overall good. Dessert, you have a choice of redbean soup (typical or mango pudding (super refreshing!

You know this is the first dimsum place where the server actually spoke to me in English and wasn't was polite and patient with us. I was extremely surprised. I've been craving dimsum too and this place really satisfied my craving. Although the prices may be a little higher than other places I've gone the service made up for it.
