Royal Palace Chinese Restaurant on South Louise Avenue is the kind of place Sioux Falls' south side has quietly counted on for years — Cantonese-rooted cooking in a room that actually handles a banquet without blinking.
They serve traditional Chinese cuisine with a menu that ranges from weeknight takeout to full event catering. Families come to sit down, groups come to celebrate, and corporations come when they need a proper banquet hall that doesn't require a flight to get to. They prepare, plate, and deliver across a spread wide enough to cover dim sum cravings and wedding receptions in the same week.
What keeps locals returning isn't novelty — it's reliability. The kitchen executes Cantonese dishes the way they're supposed to be done, and the dining room scales from a table of four to a room full of colleagues without losing the thread. On the south side, that combination is harder to find than it sounds.
