(972) 492-9999It’s back! After shutting down its operations in its old 2nd-story building off 75 and Main St and the Lucky House restaurant in Plano, Hong Kong Royal is reincarnated in Carrollton. While not as sprawling as their first location, the new Hong Kong Royal is still pretty roomy. Much of the staff and decor I remembered from Lucky House are here. As usual, the big draw is the dim sum lunch. All our usual standbys are here, from steamed fresh broccoli to jellyfish, sharkfin dumplings to steamed spare ribs, stuffed eggplant to those football-shaped shrimp pies. The staff urged us to try a couple of new dim sum plates, one of which was a fried phyllo-wrapped whole shrimp (with crunchy head attached) which proved delicious. Fair warning for the shrimp allergic, there seemed to be more shrimp in their dim sum menu than expected. On the ala carte side, their Young Chow fried rice still impressed. It seems that Hong Kong Royal is here to stay…they also offer a dim sum lunch buffet during the week at the tasty price of $5.95!
