About Regency Palace

Genuine Sichuan and Cantonese dining in Leeds.

Our dim sum is entirely hand-crafted on site — har gow, siu mai and pastries are folded fresh each day by our chefs. Complementing our dim sum, we offer authentic Cantonese roast meats — crispy roast duck, char siu and more — alongside an extensive menu of classic Cantonese and spicy Sichuan dishes.

We prepare our dishes fresh each day in limited quantities; once a dish sells out, it will not be available for the rest of the day. Come and savour our carefully prepared traditional fare.

Regency Palace on Vicar Lane
Our story

Your feast begins as steaming bamboo baskets arrive at your table.

Regency Palace Leeds serves authentic Sichuan-Cantonese feasting: round tables with lazy Susans, and steaming baskets of handmade dim sum brought fresh to your table. All dim sum is made to order and steamed fresh — har gow, siu mai and custard buns are hand-folded in-house by our dedicated team. Our menu also features authentic Cantonese roast meats and a wide choice of classic Cantonese and spicy Sichuan dishes. Our kitchen prepares food in fresh, daily batches; once items sell out, they are gone. We advise guests to arrive early on busy days.

Cooked to order

Nothing is prepped ahead. Stir-fries go from the wok straight to your table. When it's gone, it's gone.

Fresh every day

Ingredients are checked in and used the same day — what goes into your food is there in plain sight.

Built for the table

Dishes are portioned to your party. Can't finish? We'll pack it up for you.
