88 Laclie St, Orillia, ON L3V 4M8, Canada
Informal spot offering Chinese eats, including dim sum, along with familiar Canadian dishes & a bar.
First time tonight. Takeout. Had the dinner for four. The food was fresh. It was not oily. The oil they use tasted fresh and did not add any unpleasant flavor. The staff were friendly. Portions were good.
We have enjoyed dining in for 15 years.. too bad they have closed the dining room and only offer delivery or pickup. We really miss being able to dine in as it had become a destination restaurant that we enjoyed. Food has always been fresh, hot and priced right. We have often driven to Orillia for a visit and ordered Royal Oak Chinese to take back home to Toronto with us. The one downside that bothers us is that they ask if we want to leave a tip on a pickup order. I don't mind leaving a sizeable tip for table service BUT not for a pickup.
I don’t know what people are on about with the negative reviews. Whenever I order, I find the food to always live up to expectations. In fact, it is always above my expectations. Their portions are phenomenal and so much flavour is in the food. The lady who serves and answers the phone has always ALWAYS been kind to me. Their delivery guy is super sweet. I really enjoy this place.
The worst food quality. Overpriced and overall just disappointing. My chicken meal that i ordered over $15 had 3-4 peices of chicken and the rest was onions and oil. I paid over $70 for 5 meals for 3 people and we didnt get full.
They STILL don't have a dining room post-Covid-scare. I've been a loyal customer for DECADES . . . but my job is on the road. No dining room means no customer in my case. Outstanding food (some of the best in Orillia) I can no longer access is such a kick in the groin!
Such a rip off. Ordered szechwan chicken for $12 and received a container of onions with 5 chicken pieces. Super disappointed. Always open your order when you arrive to ensure they provide you with what you ordered.
Haven’t had Royal Oak in over 15 years. I used to enjoy it. We ordered Royal Oak today for lunch, which I had my wife pick up on her way home from work. We ordered 2 of the number 5 combo plates. This has been the ABSOLUTE worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. The chicken balls were shrivelled up, and the chicken fried rice was dry and hard. The bean sprouts seemed to be the freshest thing in the plate. The shrimp batter seemed dry, almost as if it wasn’t fresh, and just reheated. We are wondering if because we ordered on a slow Sunday, did we get busy Saturday nights left overs? Totally unimpressed with the food, and after tasting each item in the plate, I snapped the lid back on and walked away from the table, because it wasn’t good enough to enjoy. Total waste of money. A forever lost customer.
I used to like this restaurant. My mom used to live in Orillia 4 years ago and we frequently ate at this place. But when I came back and tried the food, it's just not the same anymore. Chowmien has too much sauce and a little bland, shanghai noodles are too salty, other chicken with rice tasted like few days old. Broccoli tasted fresh and was nicely cooked. Their poutine was so bad. It was packed and busy with the locals on a Sunday night but most of the other restaurants downtown are already closed so I am not sure if they are there coz they want to or they just didn't have lots of option. We were supposed to go have fish and chips but was already closed so we ended up here. Should have driven a little more. The smell of the restaurant isn't appetizing too. Smells like a very old place,almost moldy.
Always the best Chinese food in the area! Food is the best!
restaurant stinks but food is amazing! best chinese in town.
Ok it was pretty chill but they didn t have chicken fingers
Good food, quick and good price.beef and tomatoes my fav.
Small portions, hardly any sause on my beet and broccoli
the food is good, try it for yourself. its all about perception.
Food is good. Good value Just dont like everytime I go they ask are you leaving a tip today? Its take out Its pick up No, I dont tip for take out
A must try location for the best Chinese food in Orillia. I visited in the afternoon with my family and spent a couple hours dining, absolute amazing service, experienced and friendly staff and the star of the show - the food. Must try. Food : 5/5
Food is fantastic, prices are great, no dine in. Take it and go.
I dont like to be asked for a tip
Food is delicious, the people are kind and polite. Love love love this place
Ordered Wonton soup. What a joke! Its overpriced for such a little container. No, absolutely no taste. We had to add onion soup mix to get taste. One piece of pork. $5.50 for 1.5 cups? Including the wontons? Terrible. Will not return nor recommend. Normally order from Golden Wok, but we were hungry and couldnt wait. Should have waited for an obviously better product.
Take out only
Slowly seeing the quality go down here too bad
It is take out only. Covid is over lets open restaurants so people can actually go out and eat. Left cause we wanted to dine in.
Take out lady is very rude and lazy. Now I know why people go somewhere else Will never try to order there again ever Service : 1/5
It s all takeout, so the rest of the restaurant sits empty and seems a little run down and kind of cluttered. It s fairly tasty though.
Went to Royal Oak Chinese food for 1st time an our last time chicken was dry an tasted like it had been made hours ago shrimp the same large portions but very poor quality could taste a heavy flavour of oil.
The food is always great and I have never had any issues! I love that I can call ahead and pick up after work! I have used this place for the last few years for their delivery drivers are always so kind. The front desk staff! Dont get me started they are amazing very welcoming and genuine people even when there super busy they are still very kind and welcoming. This is the go to spot for pick up Best place in Orillia hands down for food!
The best Cantonese Chow Mein I have ever had. So delicious
The dining room hasnt opened back up since covid but my family had ordered from here for years. Shanghai fried noodles
There is only take out, best Chinese food there is. General Taos Xtra spicy is the way to go.
Ordered 1 combo plate for pickup and she asked for a tip No This is getting to be to much . If it was table service or delivery sure . Done with this place.
Food is bland and boring. Zero spice in the extra spicy curry. Singapore noodles tasteless. Cheap (ish) and big portions so theres that.
Excellent food.
Always Great service and Food
Best Chinese food in orillia!!
Great food n service. Eat in would be nice.
Terrific Chinese Canadian food. Only take out but the person at the cash is always pleasant.
Put this on Facebook
Ordered recently. Food was OK but not what I would call the best. Portions were not overly generous for the cost. Lemon Chicken did not come with lemon sauce. (???) My test is how well a restaurant does Hot & Sour Soup: a big disappointment. Delivery not available for our area so we picked up. Was not terrible but nor was it great.
DONT EAT THEIR CHICKEN
The lady on the phone was really nice, but unfortunately the chef needs some practice. I ordered chop suey and chow mein, which was $30. The variety of vegetables was nice, but very little seasoning and the vegetables were under cooked. Some more time in the wok would do wonders
Ordered food the other day for delivery, and the lady on the phone was very friendly and helpful, as it was my first time ordering. The food was delivered fairly quickly and it was delicious. It was my first time ordering here and I will definitely come back again! I highly recommend the general Tao chicken and Cantonese chow mein! Dietary restrictions: They are very accommodating on your requests!
Everything is still shut down due to covid, no dining in.
Good food and take out was fast and good servings
This IS the place to go if you are near Orillia, Ont, weve taken out several times and not once have we been disappointed. They used to have seating but Covid has put the kabosh to that so far.
Food was not fresh...it wasnt very good..the breaded shrimp was so small it was hard to tell what your were eating and the chow mein was soft and hardly eat able..
Had lemon chicken and it was so hard that I gave to .
Great Food and Staff!
Just love the place!
Have had food from Royal Oak many times. Still the best so far in town.
$15.00 not very big and 25 minutes to wait, and disappointed and disgusting
Ordered here for the first time last week. I ve had it twice now and it was great! Best Chinese food I ve had in Orillia.
Missing items everytime I order. Dont seem to care much for their delivery customers. I guess thats the last time I spend $100 at this restaurant.
Best Chinese food in Orillia and Id say the best Chinese food weve had in a long time, anywhere. Better than the best in York Region. Good portions at a fair price. Very nice lady takes your order.
The dining room is closed. The food seemed fresh. However, it lacked flavor.
Came here for pick up Sat night. Service was above and beyond. The lady at the front counter helped me as my husband was in hospital. She made sure everything was ready fast and convenient to eat. Food was delicious and made my husband smile even though he was in so much pain.
We always loved the food. its not the same anymore.i think it maybe under new ownership. Nothing has flavor. 70.00 of food down the drain. They also messed my order
Good food. Good prices. Friendly staff.
Very rude staff and no inside dinning
Tried this take out only place cause my regular was closed for Thanksgiving. Stars are because the were open, not for the food. Lemon chicken was way over cooked dry and chewy, and the lemon sauce had very little lemon flavour. Veg fried rice had only one pea, a few bean sprouts and couple of mushroom pieces. Where s the veg? Overall not great. I would recommended any of the others in town first, if available.
A favourite for decades. The food is tasty, the staff on the phone friendly, and delivery is reliable.
Best Chinese food in the area
Amazing food and fast service great price
Really enjoyed our meal! From front to back, excellent experience all the way to completion. Highly recommend.
Reasonable pricing good portions excellent flavor and was ready for pickup in the allotted time they told me so all in all I would recommend the establishment to anyone who asks
Excellent food
1st time Jan 17th 2022, quick for pickup, hot and tasty, fresh crunchy fried or steamed veggies in the chicken and beef dishes we ordered, perfect rice, reasonably priced,friendly staff will definitely return when in town and recommend
Good food, good prices, and always very polite and friendly delivery staff.
So good, fast delivery great service!
We Celebrated Chinese New Year and ordered catering through the Royal Oak. They went above and beyond to help us make it special! The food was absolutely wonderful, they were incredibly friendly, and they made sure we had everything we were looking for! We will definitely be ordering from them again and would strongly recommend them to anyone else.
Safe for pickup. Excellent food. Excellent prices
Fast and friendly ..I absolutely love the mushroom chicken
We ordered from here for the first time tonight and it was absolutely amazing, hands down some of the best Chinese food we have ever had, a little pricy but it was worth it.
Love the Chinese food from Royal Oak. Generous portions and always delicious.
Will not go back to Royal Oak again. My entire family got food poisoning from eating Chicken Almond Soo Guy. 5 family members including myself were sick for 7 days. No call back from manager, ended up calling Health Unit and reported. All the signs of food poisoning.
Food was so bad. Bought two egg rolls. All that was in them was a few grey brown bean sprouts that I could not even chew.
We initially chose this restaurant because of the great reviews. And heres ours. Weve only ever done takeout, but its always tasted great & stayed hot the whole drive home. We live 25 mins away, there are other Chinese restaurants closer to where we live, but we choose here for a reason. The ladies who work front of house have always been so pleasant with me & I can tell they always appreciate me choosing them for our dinner plans.
I actually am amazed this place exists still
No bathroom and take out only
Very customer focused. Good food.
Fast, friendly and deliciously fresh.
Very quick and tasty i had plate 3.
Cantonese Chow Mein had lots of meats & vegetables and was nice and saucy. Was hot when it arrived. Would give 5 s if the delivery fee wasnt so outrageous!!!
Just ordered take away. Once again they shorted us on our order. Ordered online, should be zero confusion. Print out of order states it all. Maybe a game they play, hoping you dont notice or perhaps you are willing to overlook. Food costs are high. Restaurants should recognize that people are trying to support them. Please get it right. Appoint an expediter to verify order as its packed up for pickup/ delivery.
Placed a order with the lady at the counter I asked for the sauce on the side she assured me the sauce would be on the side when I got home there was sauce all over it when I called back she was rude did nothing but argued with me will never eat there again the worst customer service
Great Service Awesome Food Everytime
Just spent $50 on lunch. Ordered chow mein and got lo mein. And one of the containers wasnt properly sealed and leaked all over my car! Never eating here again.
The food was disgusting, we didn t even eat it we tossed it in the trash First time trying Chinese in Orillia, never again!!
didnt receive the order we asked for ...
Great Grub!!
Has got to be one of the worst Chinese food meals we have ever ordered!
Highly recommended great tasting food...worth the drive from Collingwood to Orillia
Good food and service. Friendly staff willing to assist with customers needs
Great food. You get a lot for your money. Fast service.
Hubby ordered food for kids and us for dinner and it was lacking for sure. Thought wed switch up our Chinese and order here for a change. Bad idea as everything tasted like grease (the breading on the chicken), and the sauce for the lemon chicken came on the side and was lemon juice basically. The sauce was so watery and the mixed veggies that we ordered was half onion, soggy Chinese cabbage, green pepper had black spots on them. The BBQ pork fried rice was good and the Cantonese noodles, too much money for dinner to be worth only 2 .
Best Chinese food restaurant hands down!!! Have driven an hour and a half just to eat there. Extremely well priced
Great food, good price, would let others know. Keep up the great work.
Great food when me and my wife come home we order from them or dine in before COVOID-19. Plus have lots of good memories their me and wife did our dinner dates their when we first started dating!
Good food
Mothers day. I ordered before I went. So did alot of other people. There were around 30 people lined up outside. The staff was great as was the food
I find their food delicious and the staff very friendly, We would order from here more often but their prices are a little high.
Best Chinese food. They have been in Orillia forever and I know why. Always piping hot and yummy
Just got delivery from there. As always it was hot and tasted great. Best place in Orillia.
Delicious food!! Always fresh!!
It was ok. Not great. selection. Girls at front are very friendly
Cant wait to eat inside. Love the take out
Always great and very nice staff
First time there.... very yummy and fresh. We ordered vegetable spring rolls they are thin if I realized I would have bought more. The lady who served us very pleasant. The only strange thing is we got 1 fortune cookie so my boys fought for it. LOL. Great choice for dinner tonight
Best Chinese food in Orillia!!
The staff are generally friendly, but rather inconsistent. We ordered take out from Royal Oak quite often. The last few times the food quality has been very inconsistent, but last night lost our patronage!!! I normally order extra gravy with shrimp foo Yong, I ask for gravy on, and a side of gravy, and the result is all over the map. Last night instead of trying to get them to understand, I just said very clearly I WANT A LARGE GRAVY ON THE SIDE. I received very little extra gravy on top. Ive ordered extra shrimp several times, Im always asked how many? I say 6 EXTRA shrimp, (on my shrimp foo yong). Last time I ordered it with 6 extra shrimp, there were 8 shrimp total (I counted because the previous times I ordered 6 extra shrimp, it didnt seem like there were very many shrimp for being ordered with 6 extra shrimp. Who normally puts 2 shrimp in shrimp foo Yong? Last night I decided to have fun food, I ordered spring rolls, breaded lemon shrimp, chicken wings, and the Shrimp foo Yong, and lots of extra plum sauce. I said, I dont mind paying extra if I need too. The spring rolls were good (as usual) but I had no (extra gravy) to dip them in. They seem to average 3 packs of plumb sauce with an order like this, Last night there were 4, my willingness to pay for extra plumb sauce, got me one extra plumb sauce. First I ate the breaded lemon shrimp which were almost cold, tough/chewy, and not fun food to eat, and thats where I ran out of plumb sauce! Next I had the chicken wings, yukkkk. Horrible, dried out, way overcooked, stringy, almost unbeatable, tough, and not fun food to eat at all. Finally I had the shrimp foo Yong. Not enough gravy (for my taste), and I think I saw 3 shrimp, I didnt really count because Ive decided to fire them as my go to restaurant for take out. Last night was the straw that broke the proverbial camels back. Royal Oak, enough is enough, YOURE FIRED, WELL NEVER EAT OR ORDER FROM YOU AGAIN!!!
Best chinese food in town and good service
Customer Beware. We found a black fly in our food. Not only were we not refunded the cost of our dinner , there was no apology and they implied it was our fault! Very unprofessional and unsanitary A call to public health dept is next . Also learned this was NOT their first time having problems with flys !
Love their almond chicken chock full of fresh veggies with a crunch. Just very disappointed that they ve replaced their takeout aluminum dishes with single use plastic! Just when the federal government has banned them. Now how do they enforce this excellent initiative?? Wish Royal Oak would rtn to their more environmentally friendly dishes voluntarily.
The best! The only Chinese food place I will go to in town! Very nice people, always good food. Delivery is fast. If you feel like Chinese food - go here! Try the fried crunchy noodles with your next meal - they are good on their own or dipped in sweet and sour sauce. Best General Tao, cantonese noodles - everything here is amazing!
Had egg rolls be for for many years. Now they dont put hardy any bean sprouts in egg rolls any more.Eggroll use to be fat and tight now it has shrunk up to a skinny egg roll Not going to buy there egg rollS any more. if they bring the egg rolls back on how they use to make them. Hope you people know what your buying Thank you for reading this.
Great food
Great place for Chinese food
Been my familys go to for Chinese take out for years now. Tried other places in town but have always come back to here. Overall food has always been good with good portions. Staff has always been friendly and great to talk with during pick up.
Hot delicious food. Allergy aware and helpful.
Great Food and Service!
Always the best! We travel an hour one way to come dine here and its always been worth it. We get the chinese chicken noodle soup, egg rolls and combo plates. Its always been consistent, tasty and never overly greasy. I find some chinese restraunts can be great one day then aweful the next but not this place. Staff has always been friendly, fast and accommodating to any of our needs and wants. They also delivered to us while I was visiting family in Rama. And it was there fast and still hot. All around 5 stars. My family brought me here when I was a kid and now I get to bring my kids. The staff love to see how much they have grown since the last time we were in.
Food is always excellent....if picking up, order well ahead of time as they get very busy and youll be waiting if you dont.
Always fresh, hot and filling.
My home town for Chinese diners
Always great
Excellent food and great service!
Great Food... friendly service
Its the best Chinese food place in town! Love this restaurant and been going there for many years!
The best chinese food in town
I ordered from there a few times on the phone for delivery, and I must say, the service they give is so friendly. Plus, they came by quick last time I ordered there. The best thing I say on their menu is their Cantonese chow mein. It was like heaven, the moment the noodles, the 3 meats, and the vegetables combine together. The beef and broccoli is another good classic. You can never go wrong with beef and broccoli. One thing I didnt expect when I ordered orange chicken from there is the pineapple, which gave it extra flavour, and juiciness. Kudos to you, Royal Oak. Even their egg drop soup is worth enjoying too, alongside my moms favourite; the Sweet n Sour chicken balls. I hope to try your Royal Oak special fried rice at the end of the month. Definitely ordering again.
The food is great and so is the service
Amazing hot and fresh delivery!
I ordered 3 club houses with gravy,god they sucked.dont ever order this in take out,just stick to what there good at ,Chinese food.
Best restaurant ever
Amazing Chinese food in the area! Their black bean sauce with chicken is phenomenal, and quality & quantity of ingredients are very fresh and filling. 10/10 recommend!
We were told a half an hour wait for our food only to have actually waited an 1 hr 15 minutes. This was after we had already paid and gave a generous tip. We have been coming here for over a year and have yet to have an order without a problem. Will not be going back after this!
Excellent food at fair prices.
This was the BEST Chinese food I have ever had. So fresh, service was excellent, we did a takeout for 6 people plus extras,ill not go anywhere else , it will always be Royal Oak. Thankyou.
I know the pandemic has made supply chains difficult...but I was a bit disappointed. Look at the photos yourself, total $33.
I went there today to order a number 1 plate and my chicken fried rice was burnt.
Best Chicken Balls around. Delicious.
In and out fast .great front staff
Best Chinese food in town!
Would not go again. Terrible house rice, very dry and small amount of seafood and meat. Not worth it. Over priced for the quantity and quality.
Friendly service & very tasty food! Great place for take out!
Staff are superb.
The beef tenderloin was chewy, not tender. Lemon chicken was dry and sauce watery. Chicken fried rice was dry and tasteless Never had worse food anywhere else.
Eaten there for years.
Just love their food!!! I have never been disappointed with their food OR their service. During the summer they did mix up one of my dishes but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Ive been ordering the mushroom rice ever since! Their also have a convenient online ordering system that is very user friendly. Their staff is always great to deal with and really work hard to get your order to you as quickly as possible. Id go as far as to call this place Orillias #1 Chinese restaurant.
Ordered on December 21st 2020 at 630pm dinner for 3 best Chinese food I have had in years ..years, everything was very fresh you could tell kudos to the cook amazing job will be my go to spot from now on !! Highly recommend
Went for a big family event. (25 people) they were able to accomodate us all, the server was friendly, organized and engaging. The food was great, not one of us had a complaint. The price point and portion size were perfect. Will go there again for sure!
Yummy fast delivery
Good food
Very good service!
Great food, always fresh, great service!
Waitresses are awesome and friedly , and the food is amazing
Good value and quality food.
Very friendly and accommodating. Waterview of the docks.
Pretty good experience
Absolutely the best value for food, great service, Coke and Pepsi establishment makes it nice for those who are picky! 10/10
Dinner was awful. Neither of us ate it, nor were we asked why. Two Chinese dinners was slop on a plate.
Restaurant is big. Service is nice. But I honestly didnt like the food. I ordered Vegetable fried rice, Vegetable Shrimp and Curry shrimp. I didnt find flavor of the food as Chinese at all. May be other dishes are good. I just dont know.
Best place around for Chinese food. Excellent quality and taste. Friendly staff and quick service. I have never been disappointed.
Great lunch.linda was our server fantastic service
Best Dim Sum this side of TO
Delicious Chinese food! Best in Orillia. Staff is very nice when dining in, and takeout/delivery is just as good. I wouldnt go anywhere else!
I enjoy many menu items and find the prices to be reasonable for the most part
Good food and friendly staff. The dumplings were really nice.
Great spot for dinner if your craving some chinese food.
Great Chinese food
The food is delicious. And they are very very friendly!!
Great tasting, good food portions
Just make sure to double check your order. They have forgotten items with me living out of town it was a pain to make the trip back to get it fixed
Fast and friendly service
Best Chinese food in Simcoe County and great wait-staff !
They say the wait is 20min but we literally JUST sat down and our food was ready! Excellent service, funny servers. Great food.
Wow went for Dim Sum and wasnt disappointed, service was great and the food was even better!!! Would have this again!!
