The best Chinese food in Dallas, according to the experts: Eater, the Dallas Observer, and D Magazine have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Royal China comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. Royal China
Chinese-American
Red umbrellas cover the ceiling, a dumpling-making station runs in full view, and various family members compete to greet you at the door before George can get there. This Chinese American restaurant in north Dallas has been around forever, and co-owner April Kao still travels to China each year to pull regional ideas back into the menu. Handmade noodles and egg foo young anchor the regulars, but the dumplings are why Dallas Observer handed them a Best Dumplings nod.
