Le Royal ChinaA-
85 Rue Beaubourg, 75003 Paris, France
· Dim sum restaurant, Chinese restaurant
· Sainte-Avoie
A busy, centrally located dim sum spot with a strong following for xiao long bao, roast duck, and handmade dumplings, but service, crowding, and hygiene complaints are the main reason it’s divisive.
The verdict
Le Royal China earns a solid A- grade on the strength of strong food quality, particularly in handmade dumplings and roast duck, paired with reliable service knowledge and fair value. Service attentiveness and space comfort remain inconsistent, preventing the higher grade, while the convenient Beaubourg location adds appeal without destination cachet.
One caveat: Service quality swings from efficient to genuinely rude, and the complaints are frequent enough to take seriously.
