Stopped by for lunch. While it's a pretty average asian buffet, I found the variety in fishes and dessert to be pretty impressive. Was excited to try the dim sum but it was underwhelming. I enjoyed all the desserts though! If you don't like seafood don't come here. That's the main focus. There is fish, frogs, shell, crab and sushi. Not a lot for chicken pork or beef options though.

Great variety of food. The service was mostly good. I will not specify. I don’t want to bash anyone, plus it didn’t hurt the experience. I personally like going on a Sunday afternoon cause its very busy, so the food gets refilled often, so you don’t get stuck eating food that has been sitting long Price was almost $100 for two people, but I guess its pretty fair considering the huge selection and variety of great food options, and their desserts are very good too

A great Variety of food, sushi was very fresh. The sumai & dimsum was delicious but could have been hot, they were cold. Long beans were delicious and they offered a variety of crab cold & hot. Variety of fried food as well they kungpow chicken was delicious.

Royal Buffet offers a wide selection of dishes, from classic Chinese favorites to sushi and seafood. The variety is impressive, and you can usually find something to enjoy whether you prefer Asian flavors or American options. The food quality is decent for a buffet, though some items can be a little inconsistent depending on the time of day. The restaurant is spacious, family-friendly, and reasonably priced, making it a convenient choice for casual dining.

It has been a long time since I've been here. It is not as I remembered. The food quality is not the was it used to be. Previously I found all the food hot and delicious. This time there were many dishes that were not good at all. The fried rice was awful. The boiled crab was still good. I was surprised by how many dishes were cold even though I could see steam rising from the steam tables. The food on top was actually dry and a little crusty. I was there when they opened at 5pm but that food seem like it sat for a while. The staff was friendly! I dont have plans to make the trip in the future. It's not worth the money. I'm disappointed.

The quality of the food was far beyond any other. Many, many MANY choices including freshly made sushi and a Mongolian grill - just I incredible. Well with the cost of All You Can Eat buffet. Our family is going back!
