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.

Food was fresh and hot. Some was very tasty and others was not to my liking. Service was satisfactory and will be going back at some point. Went in hungry and came out miserablely full, it w!s worth the money. The restaurant was clean.

I'm so glad this place opened up. They have great food. A good selection to choose from, I tried pretty much everything, put a small portion of each item n taist before I fill my plate. I hate when people fill their plates before they taste it, it can taste different at each place, because they don't eat it, I hate waisting food. Beans, sweet n sour chicken batter was good, not to much where you can't find the chicken inside. Sauce was good. Loved the frog legs.the strawberry icecream has bits of strawberry's in it, love that. Only things I didn't care for: Broccoli in Broccoli n chicken and beef (beef a little dry) are both overcooked, but it still tastes great. Egg drop soup is really bright yellow, we all (4) didn't care fore it. Salt n pepper crabs are dry, and they didn't taste freash kinda muddy. I wish they had almond cookies for dessert. Every Chinese buffet I've gone to has had them, I wish they add it to their dessert area.
