The Infatuation's Best Chinese Food guide tells diners to 'expect a short wait on weekends' at Royal Seafood, tied to the popularity of its dim sum service. The guide credits the draw to dim sum 'constantly arriving in batches from a dumbwaiter near the entrance,' which keeps tables turning during peak brunch hours.
Despite the weekend wait, the same guide notes 'it's never too hard to get a table here,' suggesting the wait is short and walk-ins are generally accommodated rather than facing a long line. The guide does not mention a reservation system, implying seating is handled on a walk-in basis.
