Royal Buffet offers a diverse range of dining options, including a seafood-focused buffet, a Mongolian BBQ, sushi, sashimi, and nigiri, as well as a dim sum selection. The buffet is priced at $36.99 per person and features a good variety of seafood, excluding lobster, which is only available on Sundays. Customers can enjoy non-seafood options such as stir-fry and a selection of appetizers, along with desserts and a fruit bar. The food quality is generally described as "mid-range" and not mind-blowing, but the variety and expanded options are appreciated by customers. The buffet can sometimes serve food that is old and has lost its flavor, especially if visited at less busy times. Many dishes are made with vegetable oil, which some find unhealthy and inflammatory, especially for those over 35. When the restaurant is busy, the food tends to be fresher and tastier, often during weekends or early in the evening.
The dining rooms are spacious and clean, although some areas may seem a bit run-down. Service has been a concern, with some staff members being less friendly or even rude at times, particularly at the crab leg station. Staff may also rush to close down stations before closing time, sometimes claiming items like sashimi, rice, or bananas are no longer available, even when visible behind the counter. The management has been reported as unresponsive to these issues, focusing more on closing early than customer satisfaction.
The restaurant is considered relatively kid-friendly, with options like pizza, fries, and desserts. Customers have noted that the buffet can be salty, which might be less suitable for those with dietary restrictions. Despite some negatives, the buffet remains popular for its variety, especially during busy times when the food is at its freshest. Visitors who come early or during weekends tend to have a better experience, enjoying a good variety of sushi and other dishes at reasonable prices.
