Customer Reviews
The worst Chinese Buffet I have ever experienced, and at $20/person I can't believe it. I am not picky, I've never had a Chinese buffet I wouldn't return to, this one is it. The food was all obviously out since lunch (we were there from 4:30-5:15) and cold, hard, and disgusting. The cheese wontons, prepackaged desserts, and ice cream were the only edible things in the whole place. I didn't feel confident enough to try the sushi after I tried the rest of the food, and their warning sign above the sushi saying you can get sick from raw foods. Yeah. Only if they are improperly handled, so I guess that's what the warning is. The women's bathroom also smelled absolutely horrific. I worked plumbing for about a decade, this was a top 5 worst smells ever. I don't know how bad their sewage leak is, but it is smelling like it is leaking and has been for a WHILE. My stomach is made of iron, but this bathroom made me gag. The seats were also completely falling apart, I fell right into the first bench I sat on, one half was completely broken, all of them had the standard rips and tears, but the completely broken booth was a new one for me. I'm sorry that this review is so harsh, but it was one of the worst experiences I have ever had and I love shitty Chinese buffets.
This place is not even a shadow of what it used to be years ago. It used to have great food, freshly made and it was always hot, if it was suppose to be hot, cold if it's suppose to be cold. Not anymore, some of the food is either luke warm, or cold when it suppose to be piping hot. Also not as fresh as it used to be, some of the food items were tough. The best part is the section where you pick your own vegetables, raw food and they cook it for you, while you watch. Even the plates by the buffet were not properly cleaned. I brought all of the issues that I encountered to the attention of the management. I hope that they turn this place around and fast before is too late. The whole experience was very disappointing, to say the least.
Luv the hibachi. Good shrimp n crab meat selectoon. The no meat sushi is a good selection. Really love the jalapenos soup. The cook is fast. The servers r quick to give of dirty plates. Habachi food made to order
I went to Royal Buffet today. I was expecting much worse after reading these reviews. FYI the buffet cost 20.95 for adult and 18.95 for senior. Not sure if it was because of it being mother day or an increase happened recently. I was very impressed with the selection. Seriously I was expecting it to not to look very nice after reading these reviews. Everything was good, I saw crawfish. 2 kinds of large shrimp, every kind of asian chicken, egg roll. Soup. I saw toast, pizza and even Crab. I watched a family leave and I watched a team of 3 attack the table to clean it. I saw them wiping clean. I saw someone doing the chairs and a 3rd person taking away dirty dishes. Impressive. Now I am going to state my reason for only a 4 when the food was actually very tasty. OMG the bathroom. How come you don’t attack clean that bathroom like you do the tables. It smelled god awful in there. 3 stalls. 1st one looked like poop was in it and the seat looked dirty as if someone took a dirty shoe and step all over it. The next one looked like it had been plunged. No water in the toilet and seat up. I’m not putting it down. 3rd one was actually decent looking but no hook for your purse and the part to hitch it was missing. I left thinking eww I felt like I just went to a dirty gas station. Big turn off. I skip the habatchi, wasn’t much variety in meats. Shrimp was almost all gone. So it not all bad a little pricy and don’t use the bathroom. They have ice cream but you have to scoop yourself. After seeing a bunch of kids there..I thought no thanks.sushi was fresh and pretty. Oh FYI some of the food was cold that should be warm like the beef and chicken.
Reasonable priced and taste was ok. Pretty good choices and also a cooker on-site to cook for the stuff you picked. Coffee, tea, and soda, ice cream are all available. Service was quick and efficient.
