It was a rainy day today, and I was in the mood for soup & salad and a buffet. So I stopped by Royal Buffet. I was promptly greeted at the door, paid for my buffet, quickly seated in a booth, and received wonderful service!!! I asked the young man his name, but my apologies. I couldn't spell it, but he was so super kind!!! I truly enjoyed my meal, and to my surprise, I tried the coconut shrimp and noodles and... WOW DELICIOUS!!!! I will most definitely come back again.

We went to this Chinese buffet last night and had a mixed experience. The service was fine, and the buffet was well stocked with everything hot and fresh. However, the food selection was pretty limited, with about a third being American-style dishes rather than Chinese options. The food itself was okay but not very memorable overall. It’s decent for a quick meal, but I was hoping for more variety and better quality.

Nice little buffet. The food selection was hot and plenty. Kids cost around $11, and adults were just under $20 if you got a soft drink. Only gave it a 4 out of 5 because while all the food was good, only a few dishes were great. But overall, I felt we got our money's worth.

Usually I order “to go” from buffet. Today I dined in(I’m a foodie). Foodie: A person having an enthusiastic interest in the preparation and consumption of good food... Most people eat with their eyes first and I’m no exception. So hopefully my review may help to improve on the cons: Pros: 👉🏼Fully stocked buffet 👉🏼Looks neat(appearance is everything) 👉🏼Variety of selections on a Friday dinner time (after 2:45 pm) ($17.00 was surprising for this dinner menu, but it’s new so) Cons:👉🏼The crab body/ leg/claw portions(very small half body with claw & legs) meat dry inside not moist… seems the crab was baked. The meat stuck to insides and difficult to get to..I asked for the gadget to break the claw(was provided promptly), still the meat dry tasteless… the cocktail sauce helped a little

Food was pretty decent. There was about a 40 min wait on fried chicken. Other than that, I enjoyed the food. Great variety, very clean, friendly staff. My family and will be returning.
