REVIEWS OF Royal Buffet IN Illinois

Taz Kurdi

I moved to Virginia a couple days ago missing my favorite buffet thats similar to Royal buffet. After trying a couple buffets, i thought to myself, nothing can beat my favorite spot back in Denver, co. I was wrong!! After giving this place a try, i was amazed of how many delicious platters they have to offer! Place was clean and staff were pretty friendly. Overall, I’m satisfied that i got the chance to discover this place after losing hope to find a better place, or similar, to my favorite buffet. I recommend this place if you’re looking for some quality food with a reasonable price. Try it out and thank me later

Food is good. Staff was rude with us. Went in for lunch at 3:40. Had no idea that after 4 the staff was putting items out for the dinner buffet. Waitress came to our table yelling at us "Oh you pay for dinner now"! I said "No, we came for lunch. We are not aware that this is dinner items". She then proceeds to snatch my husband's plate of food away from him. VERY RUDE! Will not be back.

Worse Chinese buffet ever. Food was really bad, waitress was nice but food was terrible. Don’t waste your money, $12.99 for that junk food is not worth it.

Andrew Miller

Nice place with good service and typical "Chinese" buffet fair. On weekends they have seafood. Clams are tasty, raw oysters, blue crabs (occasionally) assorted shrimp dishes. Good value in my options opinion.

Saleh Kigozi

The food was high quality but the service was below average the workers had poor English which is was difficult to work with and explain what you want. The servers seemed to be in a rush which makes sense but To the point it was sloppy where often he came to our table where we are eating, he and she would reach over with there bodies and arms which had sweat and hair which could fall into our food. This I found gross the proper way is to go between each person and get the food not over all the food spreading what every is on that arm. Also I seemed they would use the same serving pronge for different foods for example the ice cream was served with the same scoop which mixed the different ice creams which I found inconvient because a person with a Nut allergy could not have any ice cream because the nuts in the butter pican could mix with plain vanilla. I found this throught the serving area. In over all the staff seemed like they were rushing to get things done and ignored the sanitary precautions.

I personally am not a buffet fan. This place isn't my cup of tea however it is usually busy and if you like Asian buffet this place has a big selection of choices from Mongolian grill to sushi to traditional American/Chinese food like beef broccoli.

Niko San Fran city

nice and fresh foods,will be back when I get my paycheck again.

allyouknowiswrong

This is a really nice place. The food is high quality. Servers are friendly. Great variety of seafood, crab and lobster available, tho you have to wait in line for them. There is a sushi bar and they do make your own stir fry as well. Plenty of options. It is rather pricey but I would say the value exceeds the price significantly. The decor is nice and modern, tho it looks like they have been remodeling for a while now. For two people the buffet with one beer and some tea was about 80 bucks. Not exactly cheap but it is good quality. They disincentivise wasting the food as well, which I think is nice.

The seafood choice is absolutely amazing!

Mohamed Mansour

Good food with reasonable price

NEVAEH JONES

the food us great but sometimes it us packed when it is the new year.

Tony Fernandez

I've been here many times but this time brought my father in law and wife. Many things to choose from and overall my father in law was very impressed. He said he's been to many buffet but this best one yet! Love this place.

Dawn Stebing

If you get there at the right time the food is fresh and great. Service is so-so, but it isn't too expensive so its a fair trade.

Alaa Aly

This first time to visit this place and the food tastes weard and not frish.. I don't recommend to go there

Jorge Vargas

Great buffet good service

Siddharth Diwanji

The buffet itself is pretty good.Its easily one of the biggest by far. best sushi experience i have had in a buffet. lobster night was pretty fun . My problem with royal is it is expensive and they start putting food back at 9 even if the website mentions they a re open till 930. They didn't allow us to get even fruits at 9 . You pay an hefty price of admission for this.

Armando Villalta

Change menu! Hoy should serve more seafood because nowadays you only serve rice and ordinary food.

Jason J. L

I love the crab there, it is my favorite food in this restaurant. In general, this is just a mediocre Chinese buffet style restaurant with limited options. Not too much options for vegetarians.

Caixia Zhou

There is a small tough stone on my onion.I ate it and made my teeth very hurt.Later the manager came and found many excuses.But he didn’t say sorry and give us any discount for apologize. I am very disappointed.Because Royal buffet I like it very much before. But I will not come back again. I am sorry.

Ginny Ruthera

Just walking out, this was our experience - Food wasn't refilled, doesn't taste the same. Waitress ignored my husband when asking for a drink order. Didn't give him a cracker for his seafood till I asked a guy nearby. Filled my husband's drink ONCE, never fill me or my friend's. Told the manager and he brushed it off. She chased me down for a tip, I was shocked. I should've made a scene, but wasted $5 and it wasn't worth 50 cents. Please go spend your hard-earned money somewhere else. And ps, if you have extra food left on your plate they'll charge you 15% more on the bill, in small print on the table so beware. Luckily I didn't get jacked with that charge, just wasted money on &+!# service.

angela rajeev

The food is too good and the service too.

Toby Logan

If you have a big appetite this is the place, 'lunch under $10.

Jinan Noah

This is my husband and my first time here. We’ve been looking for a place with all you can eat crab only because I love crab. The food wasn’t really good. The hibachi steak was good. The crab is ok. You have to wait in a long line to be able to get crab, even then, you’re only getting 3-4 leg pieces at a time. You have a choice of 1 lobster and one crab leg cluster or, 2 crab leg clusters. Overall it wasn’t worth it. The waitresses were rude, except for one that was kind. $72 for two people was outrageous. It wasn’t worth it at all. We’ll never be back.

Kofi G

The foot was amazing. It was Friday and they had both lobster and crab legs on the buffet. Due to the demand you can expect to wait in line for those items. They have all kinds unlimited sushi, a hibachi grill and just a host of other items including desserts. For chocolate lovers there is a chocolate fountain.

Akash K

Ok food. I dont know how they got such reviews...

Yonas Tesfaye

I never recommend this restaurant for anyone. Most of the time, their food is not hot nor testy. If you don't care for your health, may be recommended place. I don't even wish my enemy to use this restaurant. Worst food ever I tested in the restaurant.

Isaiah White

Clean and good customer service. Huge parking area and the food is tasty.

Andria cano

Very great place for the good variety but the starting to slack so come on through and still get enough

yi sun

Lot of selections and I don't even know where to start. The lunch buffet closed at 3pm, so don't go after 2pm. Some food put on the steam bus are not tasty. Lot of variety of food, interesting place. Food is OK.

Duc Nguyen

Good variety food items, taste good, and very reasonable cheap...

Nicholas Kathrein

One of the best places for sushi and Chinese cuisine.

Aron Bency John

I am not even supposed to give one star. I have never expected food like this in a hotel ever in my life and I was ill the next few days . SO BAD . I don’t want any one to have my experience and also I don’t want anyone to waste their money. But it’s your choice

Reyad Elsadek

Food is good but very expressive.

Kwong Han Hii

Quality and value. Not fancy, but taste good enough. Healthy vegetables and fresh fruits too.

Enrique Sarmiento

Best Chinese food

Thabit Saleem

Bomb AF. Floors were a bit slippery in areas tho. Food was hot and tasty.

Kyle Damron

Great prices for yummy food and comfortable environment

Peter Papachrisdoulou

Are used to like coming here I’ve been till recently their food quality has fallen they’re not serving the same menus they used to during lunch. And the waitress who is being very discriminating against My fiancé and I we felt nothing but rushed and she brought us to check before we even asked for it as I was still eating and like most people that were able to walk their bill to go pay for it it’s like she was discriminating against my tattoos and the way I look she ran up to us and walked my bill with me to the table I felt so offended! I did try to come here once or twice a week I don’t think that I can manage that anymore I’ve had better customer service at McDonald’s

Kala Mari

I will not touch their sushi or much of anything else. I tried the pig feet and it was overcooked, dry and flavorless-- tastes like soy sauce. I only return for the crab legs and the occasional lobsters. Tables need a good scrub and wipe down before seating guests as it had grease spots and very sticky surface.

Joe Crotty

Holy cow this was the best Buffet I've ever been to! Weekend buffet is $30 a person, and absolutely worth it

Kim Harney

Honestly thought it was delicious and cost about $9 for lunch during the week - cheaper than most places up here. Sushi was good - keep in mind that all places that serve sushi on a buffet will not have the best sushi of your life - so that being said it was good. They have frozen yogurt and sugared donuts. I enjoyed all of the different kinds of veggies, chicken, and seafood offered. Will be back again!

Doug Wantz

Good was not cold..

Mr 300

My fiance and I went here last night around 8pm it was our first time. Getting in and being seated was very easy. We came for the all you can eat crab legs and lobster. We waited in line for about 20min to get our crab legs and lobster which they had a specified limit of either 1 lobster and 1 crab leg or 2 crab legs. Normally when you go to a buffet style there's no limit per plate. The line was increasingly growing while we were waiting and after we got our batch. The server last night that was controlling the prime rib area was very rude. I asked for a slice and she put her hand out basically demanding my plate which is understandable but my issue is I asked if she can cook it longer and she got upset threw her cutting knife down on the board and walked away. Very unprofessional and clearly she's in the wrong business or just at the wrong station. On a good note our server was great I don't remember his name but he provided great service. We probably won't be returning for $30 a plate there's better options around!

Majid Rezaei

This place offers a quality of different food for a fair price.

Mike Anderson

Quick service with no waiting. The buffet had a great selection of Americanized Chinese classics. A great place to fill up at lunch for not a lot of money.

Nazia Khan

They are really bad at service. People are still eating and thought that they will close at 10:30 as it says on their page, but they close at 9:30 and start cleaning up and telling people to leave at 9:45.

Lauren Schnabel

Amazing buffet! I will be back soon!

William Martinez

It is a very nice buffet with a variety of food items to choose from. They keep the food replenished so there is always fresh new food. The staff is friendly and always on top of things like removing dirty plates, and refilling drinks. It is definitely, a good place to eat at a very good price. One of my favorite items is the crab meat, really good. I definitely recommend this place as one of my top chinese buffet to go to.

Redwan Mohammed

Delicious asian food l like to be here for lunch

Geo Time

Poor quality fish for the price and the soup smelled like feet... Disturbing experience

Jason Osborne

Pretty good food but with a high pricetag

Jailene Gutierrez_1222940

It’s so great worth it well service and great food.

Tiffany Kremsreiter

The food was amazing. The family and I left there super full. The drink however was too pricey and not strong enough.

Cesar Ayala

Fresh food always, great variety of delicacies. Lobster and crab legs delicious. Prices seemed high but is all worth it

Bart Hill

The choice of food is okay, and the taste is good. The sushi bar seems to be not very fresh and quality is poor. The staff members were friendly. And the price is pretty good. Food refill speed is quite consistent.

tommy le

This place have varieties of seafoods and sushi. But the servers and services at the food bar are poor. Some on the phone cooking, some on their phone while working and whipping down tables. Foods is okay took to long for lobsters, sometime the line is long that you forget there's lobsters there. 30 dollars per person, I dont think its worth it but you can give it a try.

Jeff Waters

The choice is spectacular and they get a lot of people which rotates the food quite a bit. But the food is good, not great. Ambiance is very open and shared, not private, tables can be tight. I had to ask people to slide in to get out from my table. Cleanliness is 4 out of 10. It's about $33/head. I think kids may be cheaper but they charged full price for my 12 year old and he doesn't eat close to the amount of an adult. So I'm not happy about that. I did see a table of people jacking up my price by only eating plate after plate of king crab. Based on the other reviews focusing on crab/lobster maybe this is the most cost effective approach.

Andy Grzesiak

This was my first time to visit, I was impressed with the selection of hot and cold food items. The hibachi grill was well stocked and in 5 minutes, I had my food prepared. Due to the large volume of customers, there appears to be a lack of maintenance I'm the restrooms, such as a very lose toilet seat, and empty soap containers. Overall, I was quite satisfied and plan to return soon.

Dean Rakstang

The wait for the crab legs and lobster was way too long. But the food was good and abundant! I saw a guy with a full plate of shrimp and nothing else!

Valerie Spaink

Y'all rock!

Tony Farmer

It's went downhill in the used to be clean and comfortable food went downhill used to be a lot better

Mari Muthu

Chinese foods with less price and u can enjoy ur day with Budget price. But only minus is oil smells bad.

ROBER Amireh

Food quality and items not as good as before

Loyang

Variety of food but the same as popular buffets.

Fernando Cruz

A Lot of food at good price

Cindy Fawaz

The food is nasty and it rotten

Julissa Munguía

Good.

Robert Leach

All the food was spicy or hot and the drinks had more carbon than soda

Lisa Hatzopoulos

Just love to get stuffed once in a while with gorgeous sushi, sashimi, crab legs, lobster, Asian affair feasting with even chocolate dipping area with cotton candy to boot. Always fun for my family. Clean. Friendly service. Only complaint, tall kids still pay adult price for buffet. One more- serve tea in a ceramic cup not styrofoam, if I may request, petty, I know, but.... Lol

Immanuel Kottlowski

Great selection and at a good price. The staff was nice. Look for the ice cream machine I almost missed it because of the mirrors. I'd give it 5 starts but it's a normal buffet. I think it's cleaner and better maintained than other buffets I've been too.

DIY BISUTERÍA// MADE EASIER!! ///

Great!!!

M kura

The food was good, but not great. The selection was larger than at most Chinese-type buffets, but the price was not justified. Drinks are extra. The restaurant is very clean, and the service is good.

Elizabeth Valle

Very organized but dirty... the dishes were wet and dirty.. the cups were greasy as well. I was getting up to get some lo-mein and it had a long blue elastic sitting there, it made me gag. I definitely like the place but it needs a little more work with the sanitary items. The food was kind of cold and the bathrooms were nasty.. I don’t know if i’ll ever come back. Make sure to check your food.... the service was good though :/

Mohamed Abdi

20 minutes before closing we were told to leave (We arrived at 8:30 and they close at 10). We had 2 people approach us and who constantly reiterated to leave because they're going to close. Every restaurant that I've ever been to always closes at whatever time they have scheduled (ex: 10 P.M) THEN they clean after customers have left, but I've never been anywhere that's rushed the customers to leave with such a gap of time still left on the clock. None of the other customers were rushed to leave and it was very disappointing when we were the only ones. The food is low quality, the waiters are unprofessional, and we were rushed from the second we stepped in the restaurant I wouldn't recommend eating here.

Karen Lumpkins

I always enjoy the food as I have the same thing each time I come. My only complaint is there was no AC today and by the time I finished eating and paid my bill I was a pool of sweat. They need to fix the AC.

Junior Guzman

This buffet is by far one if the best Chinese buffets you will find in the area. It's not too expensive and the staff is very attentive to the clients. Absolutely satisfied. It is true some food is not too hot temperatures wise however the food is still good. Love this place.

Alper Güllüoğlu

Expensive not tasty not hygenic and low variety. I don't recommend.

Mostafa Chouri

very bad place

DudikofVasa

Typical buffet food quality. Good hibachi and dessert options.

Beatrix O'Connor

As others pointed out, the place offers a very good selection of no-frills but decent Asian cuisine at a fair price. Whether one's preference is meaty/ seafood/ or meat-free the buffet all caters for. They offered some sushi, fresh salads and a selection of dessert too; was happy to see that fresh fruit was there to choose from. The place is clean and the service is polite. The one star is dropped because: - the needless use of PLASTIC cups&straws (whether or not you want it) - I badly missed the FLAVOURS; I'm so used to garlic and chilli and onions are being the backbone of several staple dishes, the lemon and the orange sauce, the toasted sesame seeds, pineapples... And no egg fried rice either! :'( Overall not bad but still I'm yet to find a local Chinese that competes with my local back in Walthamstow (E17)

Valentina Burke

So many food to choose from!!!

Josiah Rentschler

Pretty standard Chinese/Asian/Other buffet. I have eaten in and gotten take-out multiple times and have been satisfied each time. Some things can be a little oily, but that is the nature of the food. The hot wings and chicken on a stick are pretty good.

Ashley Deering

Good price but nothing to write home about.

Scott Kelly

Food was good as was the service.

Alexia Carreto

I love the place the workers are consistant but IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE PLEASE LOWER THE PRICES FOR THE ENTRANCE

Brandy Mishler

This place is terrible! Don’t go here! Food was cold, sushi was not fresh! Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced! Read reviews before going! Disgusting. Owner was very Unprofessional! All we wanted was half off the bill, he gave us 10%. Bad business! Prices not posted anywhere! Beware!!

Sumanth Rao

Good food, great price for the huge buffet. The food tastes great and fresh.

Dawn Forsythe

Food was gross and barely even warm. Don't bother with this place, there are far better restaurants around.

Doug Craig

I was in town for business and looking for a place for a Chinese Buffet, and found this place. It was an average clean, well lit, basic ambiance buffet, except the food, which was well above average, being tasty, fresh, and good variety. The staff was friendly, and right on top of things, without being pushy. One of the better buffet's I have tried in awhile.

Claire W

My husband and I used to like the restaurant. However, a RUDE staff who distributed lobsters can RUIN the dinning experience. For a $70 bill meal for two people, I can’t imagine how the lady can yelled at you for choosing a fresh half lobster. The buffet is shown to close at 9:30 pm on the website. We arrived at 8:40pm. The buffet took away food at 9:00 pm. That might be OK. But HORRIBLE service for a rushed buffet. Very disappointed.

Barbara Spam

Hibachi, sushi, seafood, endless meats and veggies, dim sum, dessert. Great buffet if you DON'T want lobster or Alaskan crab legs. Pros: Huge variety of food and volume of customers keep food fresh. Hibachi has good ingredients. Sushi is fresh. Cons: Long lines for dessert because crepes and ice cream need to be served by a worker and there's only ONE for the dining area of hundreds of customers. Before they served whole lobsters. Then they served only half. Now the crab legs are almost always broken apart so waiting in line isn't worth it. They make small batches at a time so the lines are long.

Sara Hernandez

Is just okay

H King

I was in Herndon /Fairfax for 3 days. This Royal buffet in Herndon on 492 Elden St was quite honestly the worst buffet I’ve ever been to. The General tsos was still pink in the middle. When I brought that to the attention of the manager, he acted like he didn’t hear me. Then when I told him again he got really, REALLY mad. I heard him mutter the F word under his breathe. I only ate 1 plate of noodles and they still charged full price. Also, watch out. I guess the waitress decided to tip herself because when I left and got to my destination I counted the change. I was short changed $2. My fault for not counting before I left but shows they are dishonest. Wouldn’t ever go back here or recommend.

Tony L

Not impressed. girlfriend and I were excited about trying this place out. So many good reviews. After visiting not sure how they came up with such good reviews. We made reservations and were in right away. Both were excited about the crab. That is until we realized that the crab is rationed out by a server in one spot. The line at 5:30pm was about 35 people deep, no kidding. Like cattle. In the same station was the lobster tails. If you wanted the lobster you had to wait holding up the whole line for crab. No crab only line. Took about 17mins to make it through the line the first time, 19 the second time. The crab was water soaked but tasty. The butter was more like yellow oil with no taste for dipping. The lobster was cafeteria quality as was the rest of the food offered. The variety was large but all tasted poor to mediocre at best. My take away was that they cater to those who are Very value focused. (cheap) Food quality was not good but from the people there you could tell quantity was the focus and not the quality. Girlfriend is a big sushi and sashimi person. The tuna she grabbed was almost frozen and smelled. She took a tiny bite and tossed the rest. Could easily tell it was frozen and not fresh. Would happily pay more for better quality and not to have to wait in like like a soup kitchen. Think it was about $35 per head. I have no problem paying $75+ per head if it is good. But honestly a trip to Red Lobster while a few bucks more would have been far better.

Ela

Great place to eat with family for the holidays. They have many options so there is something for everybody. We had lobster on Wednesday, but beware that the line can be long for it. The also sushi and a Mongolian place where they will cook up the ingredients of your choice. We had some cotton candy on the way out and they make crepes to order as well. It's a great place to bring your kids as well.

John Kronkaitis

Good lunch buffet for less than $10.

Evelyn Lazo

(Translated by Google) I love this place (Original) Me encanta este lugar

Chris Harlan

Great chinese buffet with an impressive selection of Asian (and some Mexican) foods. Lots of seafood on the lunch bar.

Jason Gonczi

I personally used to like this place. Especially for the first few times that I went, it was really clean and neat throughout the whole restaurant. However, more recently it has been quite a bit more dirty in terms of how the food is cooked and prepared. It might be due to more customers, but that still is no excuse for proper sanitation in bathrooms and food quality.

Xin Tu

Best food, best price. Will always be my go to buffet. You get all these great food, plus a huge selection of sea food for dinner and weekends. Considering a plate cost that much at a sit down place these days. Don't know why people are complaining. They should cook at home instead of eating out.

Raul hernandez

Good, but no the best... Really short selection of food, sushi is never fresh I tried it once and it was really old you can tell when sushi is old I'm a cook so I know.. If you're hungry and don't wanna go arround looking at menus umm it's worth a shot so it's your choice

scarlett san

Not as good as what I used to remember but the most affordable buffet with great seafood options for Chicago area.

Ajay Arjun

Terrible food. Don't get mislead by other reviews.i wish Google pinned critical reviews on top. The whole place stinks so bad. Food was cold. I feel this restaurant is manipulating reviews. By any chance if you read my review. My only suggestion is stay away from this place. Terrible quality.

Manko Eponymous

Great bargain on weekdays!

Basil Klaus

I usually have low expectations when coming to a buffet. And Royal Buffet surprised me for the good side of things. Some of the portions tasted like a good restaurant. Now not all of them, but for sure majority of the food. Will come back to Royal Buffet for more.

Astryd Doty

Gross, cold, food go order take out instead

Mario Castaneda

Dinner on a busy Saturday night, around 745pm. Was pleasantly surprised to find lobster and crab legs being served. Line was a little long for the lobster, but food was good. Highlight was the steak, actually. Was well cooked and very tasty. Service is OK. Worth it for the seafood and steak.

Marcques Washington

Didn't have the widest selection of food, but what they do have is consistent and good!

Ron Malinowski

Busy place, items replaced quickly. Nothing in the area compares.

Suresh Kumar Narayanasamy

The buffet had lot of choices, but nothing was good. Most of the dishes tasted ok and few where bad. Not worth for the money. Dont even try the ice cream.

Marian Long

Soooo Good

Brisia Fuentes

As soon as u start to get fruits they count what u have and when u get dessert they tell u to pay

Marcin Jaszczuk

The food here is very good, although it's a buffet and I don't expect much from servers, they're on the ball, but not very talkative. It's not the cheapest place, so expect no less than $35 per person... But then again, there's a large selection of pretty good sushi, you can get a strip steak in a dish at the first station, sometimes there's lobster and crab. The traditional food you'd find on Asian menus is very good. They'd get 5 stars if staff wasn't cold and visibly messing around instead of making it a little bit cleaner... That could use some work.

nacuelena

Food still tastes good but the place looks so outdated the doors and floors and tables are greasy ,so sad that the owners don't care about this place. Few years ago I was recommending my friends to go there but now I'm disappointed.

Dave B

LOVE this place. Their sushi is amazing, not just for an all you can eat buffet but for any sushi place. Always fresh and varied. Hibachi is good but I usually stick to the sushi. I've not found an item there I didn't like to be honest. I highly recommend you try them out for lunch as the price is unbeatable for what you get. Come hungry!

Rami Omar

Went for late dinner @8:00pm Open buffet Big collection of food The food quality 1/5 and service 2/5

Dana Stegall

Buffet really just okay very average nothing special and not worth returning for.

amir farag

Don’t have the food variety they advertise , wetters get upset when I told her that we are leaving because you don’t the food you advertise in your web .

Inocente Serrano

(Translated by Google) Very good (Original) Muy bueno

David Lin

Mediocre American-Chinese style buffet. More or less what you'd expect with a low price, especially for the area.

Kevin Henriquez

Good not great

Sean Q

Better selection than typical Chinese buffets. Abundance of stone crab, crawfish, and octopus with sauteed vegetables stood out during weekday dinner starting $11.95.

Shelly Ruiz

So. Much. Food!! The sushi bar is amazing! The dessert bar is amazing! They have so many awesome choices. Great price for what you get!

kevin thorp

Place has really gone down. Hot food was cold, line is too long to get crab legs/lobsters, eggrolls smelled funny like something was spoiled inside. Sushi is good and hibachi is good.

Cyndi Morgan

I really like this place. The only reason for four stars is that some of the patrons aren't the most desirable. As a young female, I don't like being ogled while I am eating, and I have gone with other females who have expressed similar problems. Sometimes the service isn't the best either, as in drinks that sit empty for far too long and empty plates left on your table to the point of overcrowding. However, overall, the food is worth it. You get a great selection, the food is always fresh, plentiful and delicious. I am rating this place for what it is--a Chinese buffet. We all know that the food sits there for a little while until new stuff comes out, the sushi probably isn't going to be the best, and to stay away from any salmon, crab legs, or fish. If you do that, you will be fine. Any shrimp meal is fine, anything with chicken is great. The flavors are great, and there is no MSG, because if there was, I would get a horrible migraine every time I eat there, and I don't. It's a great place to take your time to eat, as they are not pushy to get you out of the door. I highly recommend.

Wesley Meeks

Awesome food . Buffett is always stocked and fresh !

Mary Ann

Great / fresh food, clean interior.

Eric Teran

Excellent food!

4j4life

My wife called and ask if they have steaks and lobsters. The idiot lady said yes but when we get there. No no no no no. No steaks No lobsters.

PK Lee

The price is very decent for all you can eat seafood. They had a huge selection of seafood and other Chinese dishes. The restaurant over all was nice and cleaned. The service was fast and they made sure to refill our beverages and take our dirty plates off the table. Definitely worth the money if you’re in town and want some seafood.

shameera kalubowila

Perfect place with fair price. love the variety.

Fernando Fernandez

Great good great buffet

Chas Freemon

Excessive lines -they would rather have you wait for them to cook - This place is not what it used to be - The entire restaurant is filthy – Service is none existent – yet they auto gratuity the bill. Consider any other restaurant.

Carlos Rosas

When I was leaving, I was chased down by the person that brought my soda, she asked if anything was wrong and demanded a tip. She waived the bill in my face and made a scene in front of the whole buffet. I didn't understand why she was expecting a tip for serving me a Pepsi, so I asked to talk to her manager. The manager told me, "she served you, so she needs a tip". What!? No...that's not how that goes, you have to earn a tip to get a tip. Too expensive for the service, and food.

I was there for to go I supposed to pay only 15$ but they said I had to pay 22$ because I took a lot of seafood that s crazy I would not suggest for anyone else to take to go , because they make you pay what they want.

Jesus Bryant

The best buffet I've been to in a long while. The place was HUGE & the variety was overwhelming. I highly recommend this establishment for family, friends & Coworkers...

Finest place to have something when in a hurry. The service is quick, rates are reasonable, fantastic mood. I highly recommend this place

Brian J

It's not a "top of the line" Chinese buffet, they do make an effort in serving decent variety of food at a very reasonable price. Very casual dining with the food consistantly refilled and area kept clean. Just the bathrooms could use a little more attention.

Nicole Reed

My husband took me there tonight to celebrate my Birthday weekend The food was great but the place is not clean at all when you first walk up to the restaurant the first thing you see is how disgusting the windows are like they never been clean before then while your seating you can't help but notice how filthy the wall are I just a restaurant should always show cleanses the beautiful floors in hall look like they mop them this the second I said I was not going back this imma stick to it o I forgot to add they give one claw of crab at a time and was very rude when you ask for more . I'll take my money elsewhere

This is my 1st time going and I was not pleased at all I took my. Daughter for all you can eat crab legs when you go up there you get 2 come on by the time you go back stand in line for 20 mint for 2 more not worth it. 1st time eating lobster it was super green inside I would not be back

Tom Snow

Update = 7/12/19= came on for lunch. Food and services are still good. Food has been consistently good. Good food. I enjoy the food here. I know others who do not enjoy Chinese buffets.

Carl

I'm not a huge sushi person but the buffet selection is awesome. Tons of options from sushi to pizza lol. Food quality has to be the best out of all the buffets I've been to. The one question I had leaving was, is the fish steak supposed to taste like eggs? Wonder if they used some egg based glaze. Wasn't bad, just interesting combination.

U Hh

Good food ...bad customer service.

David Henderson

Even Robert Raciak Orlando food critic would travel to Illinois to fill up on this beautifully presented buffet may even move close by

Gina Garbero

I've been a few times. The quality this time was lacking and the floor under my table was slick and greasy. I was afraid it was going to get on my shoes and make me slip.

John Karge

Great Experience! Good food! Plenty and options! I always try to share this place with someone new each time I'm in town..

gamer taking 1117

The food was good and give it a 10/10

joseph heath III

Found a rubber band in my chicken and brocoli. Food would be good if you were drunk and craving mediocre chinese.... Other than that its not worth the money.

Muhannad Khair

This was one of the best restaurants in town. Went there last year wasn't so good. Went there just recently, it was so bad I wouldn't go there again ever. The food isn't tasty as it was. Meat chicken and fish aren't cooked well. The food is oily. Not to mention the place is not that clean, and the smell of fish is awful once you enter the restaurant and you can smell it anywhere in the restaurant.

Iris xu

This place has everything I want and taste really fresh. Price was fair as they have various of food selection. Love here.

Ramon Rubin

Found hair on the rice. Called the waitress and not even a "sorry". We all lost our appetite. And even before that, the taste of their food really degraded. Even the fried chicken tasted funny. One more thing that I noticed. Their floors are sticky. I cant imagine how the kitchen is. For $30 I can go to a different restaurant. We wont be back anymore.

miguel ramos

The Buffet is great and has a good variety of foods. The servers do seem to forget about you. The past couple of times I have been here I was seated and was brought my drink, and I would eat and finish my drink waiting for a refill and the servers would just stand and talk to each other. Even when they come to yohr table to pick your plate up they don’t ask if you need anything and they didn’t ask if I wanted a refill even though my drink was empty

J P

This place was a total mess! Total chaos within the staff. Food serving area was dirty and messy. I would not eat here again.

Abdelhadi Zaqzouq

Its not good its not clean there is no superviton at all.i dont like it at all

Aaron Connolly

Big wait for the crab legs and lobster. My wife really liked it. Calamari was good. I wouldn't go back though. I'd prefer to spend $30 at a normal restaurant.

Adam Kasnick

Fantastic food. Plenty of choices for everyone in your family. They even have fries and pizza for the kids that don't like Chinese food. All hot, all fresh. Outstanding.

emad Mikhail

Much better in quality than other buffets within the same category, but it's important to manage your expectation before entering these buffet

MrJRN91

I have a serious love-hate relationship with this place. The selection of food on the buffet far surpasses any buffet I've ever been too. They have every single seafood item imaginable cooked about 3 different ways. They also serve whole lobsters and crabs and the price per person is absolutely unbeatable. I was definitely in awe the first time I came here. The reason I hate this place is because it is probably the best Chinese buffet around, everyone and their brother know this. This place gets SLAMMED. The customers come and don't stop. Good luck even finding a parking spot where you don't have to walk a mile. My last complaint is that they have this cute little pond/fountain where they have some fish and turtles but unfortunately it's not supervised and doesn't look maintained. Foreigners and kids come and throw trash in the little fountain and pick up the fish and turtles and abuse them and the employees could care less. Sad that people have to ruin everything this way. All in all, a great buffet. Just be ready to fight the masses at the buffet tables.

Judy Henry

The food is always fresh.

Terry Johnson

Big selection of Asian food from delicious sushi, beef and broccoli, steam buns and so much more! Loved it!

Cynthia Naranjo

To expensive now.....i dont think they should charge alot for kids ...they dont eat much...but other than that food is delicious

Yehuda Drake

Very neat and convenient spot. They offer large portions and for inexpensive prices. I loved the meals a lot and the staff were super amiable and informative. Recommended.

Shitokai CBA

Good food. So expe sive

Mason Rothman

This place is horrendous. There is honestly not one good thing on the buffet. Nothing is fresh and the majority is deep fried with nothing but more breading on the inside.

Susana D.

This an all you can eat place, used to be very good, as the economy and other issues changed, their options also did. No lobster, very tiny crabs, and fake crab meat is used in fillings. Quality and options decreased, although you still can over eat here, the price went up for far less quality. I think it is a good option if you are passing by and extremely hungry regardless other better restaurants within an extended area.

Ve V

Nice place if you want good inexpensive seafood!

Griselda Jimenez

Good restaurant

Lewis Ansara

Royal Buffet in Herndon is a great spot for lunch.

Brian Bridgepro

Asian/Seafood buffet, very friendly service somewhat complicated by the language barriers.

Beth westover

The staff is rude and pushy. The food isnt anything fantastic

Nana Beltran

It's too expensive... usually I find the food good, but this time I thought it was just ...yuck. I literally threw up before leaving and had a terrible allergic reaction.. I basically paid $30 to have a plate, throw up, and go to a hospital. Never Again.

Anna

Food is below average but, most importantly, they charged about 8 dollars (“kid’s dinner”) for my 11 month old who ate the baby food we brought and tried, like, 5 corn kernels and a teaspoon of rice.

Tammy H

We've eaten here many times over the years. It's a buffet. As with ALL buffets, it is a hit or a miss. Sometimes amazing while other times it's eh. The difference with this buffet is the price. It's very price, even lunch. Also, the most recent time we went, there were posted signs throughout the restaurant including your table threatening to charge you and addl 15% if you waste food. I found that odd and disconcerting. I doubt I'll return.

C Stone

Expensive. Over priced. Sorry, but I just can't eat that much in one sitting, so I consider it a rip-off. Food is nothing to rave about. The glitch is that they make it really pretty so that you have a pretty and comfortable experience, while dining. I recommend that you stay at home and cook your own crab legs and lobster or just find a cheaper buffet that offers the same thing. The staff is unfriendly and rude, while they stand nearby to glare at you, as an attempt to intimidate you to complete your meal faster. Creepy. It worked, because I became ill later, and regret the entire experience. I have a problem with an establishment that can't look me in the eye, when I'm purchasing or eating in their restaurant..hmmm...just not right.

Miguel Rivera

If they could improve more at the quality of their food that would be great..

Bright Costa

Very good.

NaNa Houran

Went with myself and another adult and a 5 year old. Ate from the buffet and it came to 85+. The "waiter" brought us drinks and then didnt do anything else. Other waiters were taking our plates and even helped when I spilled my drink on the table. She didn't help at all. When we went to leave I didnt tip bc she didnt do anything for us. As we were walking out of the buffet. She chased down my 5 year old and other adult and myself. I was with to demanded a tip and made a scene in the middle.of the dining room in front of all the other customers waving the bill on our faces. When we asked to speak to the manager just to get out of the middle of the dining room she marched us up to the front desk and the manager tried to bully us into leaving a tip. We explained why we were not and he was rude and still demanded a tip. Needless to say we will not be back and customer service blows. The food isn't worth the price and who the hell pays 85.00+ for a buffet.

Tao Wang

Too expensive for what they serve nowadays compare to a year ago. They no longer serve the lobster and even crab legs was scarce, had to wait in line to get just 1 cluster

Shane Conroy

Co workers and I go here about once a month. Lunch special is always on point and the price is unbeatable.

Christopher Eden

All of the food was ice cold and when I told the waitress she told me she would microwave it which is ridiculous. A LOT of the employees were unfriendly and had bad attitudes. Highly recommend going elsewhere.

Enrique Evidos

The best buffet of Virginia, they have lobster Sunday!

E Vaughan

Ok, nothing special.

Jonathan Lamas

Crab legs are tasty but the line is torture. Place look very upkeep . Restroom could use more attention . The Parking Lot not the best when its full. Need to come back and enjoy more delicious options. Great selections.

Brandon C

What I really like is that there is a good attempt to keep food quality on par despite the large variety. You are bound to find something that you like. I did really enjoy the option to make your own stir fry in addition to the more traditional stuff like the steamed buns and such. There was a couple of things that I could suggest such as making sure to not overcook the fish which for the grilled stuff it was. The salmon I had was not good, a bit watery-like. I was a big fan of the duck and the Hong Kong chicken. The sushi was pretty decent; much better than other buffet sushi. I do debate on whether spending +$30 at this place was justifiable

Al

Terrible. Run away, and run FAR AWAY from this place. Your stomach will not be happy after eating here.

Jay Cummings

First time customer was very impressed with the amount of food and options

Jason Col.

Service is uncomfortable at times when having employees looking at you half of the time, communication and language aren't their best either. Food is okay if you're vegan you're pretty screwed.

angela spielman

It's a huge buffet. All you can eat sushi, sashimi, lobster (certain days), crab, and all other hotbar usuals. They make custom crepes on the dessert bar. Long line for the seafood.

Serge Tudor

Service and support - good. Bat food - so so...

Lani Ri

Not only was the food just kind of mediocre, after receiving the bill I noticed my 9yr old child’s buffet price was the same as an adult buffet. When I brought it to the cashier’s attention she and the waiter began questioning and sizing my child up as if we were lying. So that was just a little bit offending, although my (10 in two days yr old) is rather tall, she lacks the appetite of an adult and definitely did not eat 30$ worth of food off the buffet. Then the ‘waiter’ not knowing we had left him a cash tip on the table, had the nerve to ask “you’re not going to leave a tip” when we paid with a credit card. I find Royal Buffet’s employees to be both tacky and rude!! Totally dissatisfied.

Abby Hansen

We've always loved Royal Buffet but this time it was just OK. Parking was a struggle and the line for crab legs was ridiculous. We decided to skip crab legs but the people in the line were crabby (lol) so they didn't want to let you through to get to other food. For what we spent on a party of five, we could have gone for bigger all you can eat crab legs elsewhere. Live and learn...

Jay Vorobyov

Great buffet. Lunch is cheap but no crab legs. However lunch has other seafood like fried soft shell crab or sometimes steamed Dungeness crab (people often come in just for Dungeness crab) also lots of different sea shells. Its around 15 bucks. Dinner has crab legs and/or lobster tails. But is closer to 30 bucks per person. Both have sushi and stir fry bars going. This is one of the best in area for sure.

Johnny Entremont

Nice buffet. Good Chinese food. Very reasonably priced.

Nimeet Shah

Great selection! Something for everyone, plain to exotic

Everett Phoenix

Great sushi and selection of asian food at an economical price

John Bordy

Weekday lunch for $8.95 was an excellent value. They had an extensive selection of food including all the usuals, plus crab, shrimp, and clams. All the food was very fresh at 12:30 PM. Our server told us to leave a tip on the table which was very odd. But any way, the food was great.

Jerrett Jones

Always good food, NEVER enough crab legs. Only 1 pot cooked what feels like every 10 minutes so people wait in line while waiting at the buffet line which creates a lot of people just standing around blocking food.

J L

One of the best Chinese buffet I’ve ever been to. Food varieties and quality are incredible at such price.

Zuzu Yourmama

The foods taste very satisfied, but poor customer service. When they take you to a table. They are not welcome you! They just standing there watch you eat. Today I went to eat over there, they hand me the check. They already including 15% tip. I paid them cash, and they never give me back my change! The lady waitress got they check and never be right back. When we ready to head out, she saw us and did not say thank you. This is call Money hungry! Hate this restaurant for a bad waitress! Very money hungry!!!

Suhail Shaikh

Love it

Leoz434

Food is great, high quality. Although quite expensive!

tony rice

They have the best everything here and very clean. Also to mention the service was decent

Michael Mason

Food is too greasy.. And really you don't know how clean is the place.

Jamie Chiou

Really good buffet that has a wide variety of items available. Its better than your typical mall Chinese buffets. Great value for your money.

Ion Ionel

I was hoping to have a good dinner but... Big Big Big disappointment

Payam Ferdowsyan

I've been there a few times, good prices but not the best buffet in town.

Tibe3000

(Translated by Google) The lunch menu is neat and adequate. Will fill up quickly if something goes out. But like in many other shops cosiness is missing! (Original) Das mittagsmenu ist ordentlich und ausreichend. Wird schnell aufgefüllt falls was ausgeht. Aber wie in vielen anderen Läden fehlt es an Gemütlichkeit!

Kenal Mehta

Very rude staff, they were very rude to accommodate special dietary restrictions, food is good but, the host or the manager working there she was very rude. Customer service if I can give negative point or zero stars I would give that. This place is terrible if you have any dietary restrictions, they refused even with Doctor’s written orders.

Jo Ann Sheldon

Royal Buffet was huge, so crowded. Going on the same night as all you can eat crab legs was definitely a big mistake. The lines were so long it was not worth paying the extra money to have the buffet. The sushi was very good, and amazingly the sushi chefs kept up with demand. The food on the buffet was delicious and fresh, the turnover of the food was great, so it was always hot and fresh. The food and service was good, but the crowd was not.

Roxann Camparone

Service sucked and price was absorbidant. Food was good and selection was great.

Daniel Rendon

Our favourite place to eat out with my wife so far. Food seems fresh for the most part. Wide selection of seafood, meats as well as desserts. Dont expect the best sushi as they dont specialize in it. Great pricing for 1-2 refills at the buffet. They seem to watch you alot to make sure you arent "doing something wrong" like waste food but I guess they have to. Bathroom needs a serious makeover as it seems to be falling apart. Would recommend.

Francis Villar

This place is so dirty. My family and friends love the food here and I can't disagree that it is delicious... but it's so gross here sometimes. I saw a kid puke right in the middle of the floor and it took a good 20 mins to clean it up. They also seem understaffed as far as servers since it seemed like ours was working furiously to keep up with her area but there were just to many people.

Elizabeth Bacon

For those of you wondering if you should go here and have mixed emotions about if it's actually going to be spicy or not the food is labeled if it's going to be spicy then the people complaining about it don't take the time to read what the eat. The food is good and they have a good selection of different foods, they also have an ice cream machine.

Maria Cruz

First Class Limousine

Food is good and tasty. However the workers would not bring fresh fish even though the trays are empty. Waitresses are sometimes very rude and asking for tips. I don't think tip is given by default but should be deserved

Margate sesay

Yes best Food

Darrell Eddy

This was the largest Asian buffet I've ever been to. But the seafood offerings there were amazing. It would have been better if we did not have to wait so long in the line for the crab legs and lobster. But the food was very good. It has an amazing number of food offerings.

Mio Nonaka

Buffet style Chinese with variety of meat, fish, seafood, fried rice/noodles, soup, dumplings, stir fried vege, fruits, and some desserts. Sushi and pickles was awful but cooked foods, esp deep fried fish or spring roll we're good. Roasted ducks and pork ribs were good too. Good to bring kids.

Michael Barros

They have a very big variety of seafood

Marlon Artiga

Great food. Lobsters and crabs are delicious

Leticia Rodriguez

Omg!I'm in heaven love this place everything is delicious love the seafood

Nancy Fuentes

Very good place food was amazing

xeng her

Customer Service by the waiter we paid was BAD! My sister and I asked the waiter for a split bill/receipt. She rudely demanded our debit cards. She ran up the bills/receipts and as we were signing the bill, she demanded a 10% tip. She said it’s what she charges everyone but she didn’t put it on our bill. I asked if there’s a policy that requires 10% and she said yes. We paid accordingly and as I walked out, I saw a sign right in the front door, 10% charge for parties of 6 or more. There was only 4 of us!!! Never going back!

Steve Barnett

Had dinner with another couple at 5:30 PM on December 21st. Food was good and warm/hot across the board. The seafood was particularly desirable. Service staff pretty good. Interestingly, no classic Chinese mustard available. My wife and I will go back when we're in the area.

Martin S.

Good selections, lots of seafood. Fair price

Michelle Thilking

Freashest buffet food I have had to date, even the seafood was freash enough to enjoy. Adequate selection and extremely high food quailty. Would definately advise for a friend, and would absolutely go out of my way to have it again.

Mike Chowda

Very good bang for your buck. Hot tea is included and lots of seafood and Chinese standard buffet items. Very clean.

Peter George

Great food

Peter Chiodo

The best for Seaford and quality, more than you can eat

Elias Galeas

Great selection and great tasting food for a great price thumbs up to this place!

Team-Marceezy's Adventures

Foods really dry, every other menu item is prepared with some variation of peanut butter(which I'm ok with). Sushi is refrigerated. I ate during their lunch hour so there's no reason the food shouldn't have been fresh. The freshly cut fruit was as good as it got. Definitely passing on this place next time around.

erv stuckart

The variety was great. Food was fine.

Jerry Adams

BEST Buffet in Northern Virginia - Fantastic Mussels in Black Beans

Ariel Ellis

Line for lobster and snow crab to dang long. After standing in line for 15 minutes and only moved up one person because someone gave up waiting. If you have time and energy this is a place for you. Plus rude waitress over your shoulder the whole time you filling out the check than get angry when she didn't get the tip she wanted. Only reason for the 1 star because its a beautiful place and have a lot of food. $120 plus to get cold food long lines and rude people no thank you.

Raul Hernandez

Not so bad when it comes to variety of food, quality it's OK... Most of the time friendly staff

Alireza Saboori

I've been to a lot of sushi/hibachi buffets. This was probably the worst I've been to in terms of food quality. Service was the only reason why it didn't get a 1 star review. Everything tasted poor. Pretty disappointing.

Yasmeen Al-Resheq

I love its...its amazing. A huge variety, good quality and a very reasonable price

Nate Hand

Decent Chinese buffet with a variety of foods. The "American" food is kind of bad but all of the Americanized Chinese food is good, as expected.

Lea Orteg

This is horrible, all good reviews are fake! It’s so dirty and dishes are horrible: Greasy and Dirty! For two people $80, is this a joke! Dishes are dirty , even had chocolate on the plate left after ‘’washing’’, plus had a smell of chemicals, waste of money. Nothing was tasty, food is not fresh at all! Just can imagine the kitchen!!!Will never go there again!

R P G

It's ok pricey, but having so much selection makes for some foods standing there and becoming dry and not very appetizing. Worth visiting to try out a few strange things for a change.

John Foltz

I should have known better then to take my family in this place after I saw like 1 table with people at it. Food was terrible. Cold, bland, old looking, and I suspect I hit some rancid shrimp. That could be in my head to be fair. I caught a whiff of something that smelled off at some point. I want to say the service was good because the waitress was on point with the refils but, we were one of 2 tables. 5 people total in the place eating. I just read some of the reviews of this place that said the food is great. You people are delusional lol. Our regular place blows this away and its much cheaper.

Nhat Nguyen

The foods are decent, but their freshness is subpar comparing to other Chinese buffets. Until I found a fly in their egg drop soup. It terrified me. I told the waitress about it, and she said she would “check back” (exact words) but then of course, she never did. My stomach felt terrible and I had to get out of there as fast as I could.

Lea Alog

Good food. If you have picky eater like my son who only eats pizza, chicken tenders and fries then you might want to try some place else or you'll pay $20 something for a plate of fries for dinner. But above all else I love this place.

Dan Whetzel

This place is good, not great, just good. There is a wide variety of choices, some are great, some are awful. Overall, it is good value for the money.

Pat Glazer

This buffet is huge...really huge. The food was pretty good, not great but not bad. They have a small make your own stir fry bar, a huge selection of fish and seafood, many items I was unfamiliar with , unfortunately they are not consistent with labeling everything. They have a large selection of desserts as well. I would try them again if I'm in the area.

ervin arroyo

They have excellent food just the prices are a little too high

Dr.Ahmed Adel

A lot of Chinese unlimited open buffet. Very Good food variety but place to be more clean

xudong cai

Good

Amos Oladipo

Welcoming staff and good and healthy food worthy of the money.

Michael Brown

I tried this stuff they had called "sushi". I took a bite and realized that it wasn't even cooked! I called for a manager and told them but they just laughed at me!

KyilaSha B

Favorite all you can eat buffet hands down! Great seafood

Daniel Kauffman

The staff is friendly. The food is delicious.

Frank Kerker

Don't waste your money here. And it's a lot. $32 for one person. Food is cold and probably salmonella infested

DareYouToBeYourself

Gave this place a second chance after finding four separate hairs in separate food items during one single visit. (Big mistake) I'm sat here bedridden after my second visit, running to the bathroom every 10 minutes to puke my guts out and nearly lose consciousness from oxygen loss. Will never, ever return.

Helen Wen

If I can give zero point for their customer service I would. The food is great but the WORST customer service. We always come there at least twice a month but after today I think I change my mind about coming back there. With $300 bill for a buffet I will enjoy it in a regular restaurant with better service.

Letty Chaidez

They need to give this place a little TLC. Need an update especially in the bathroom and dining area.

Angelina Williams

This place was horrible would never eat here again. There were flys all over the place. The food was disgusting, the only thing worth eating were the crab legs which were behind the counter. And I wouldn't have known they had them if I hadn't saw another customer and asked him where they we're. For dessert they had ice cream I asked the lady behind the counter for ice cream first she act as if she didn't hear me. I asked again and the lady just pointed and mumbled something like she doesn't do the ice cream, asked another person who sent me right back to the lady that told me she didn't do the ice cream. After waiting for 5 mins and no one came I asked to speak with a manager and was told there was no manager there, and he would be back in 20 mins. This place is horrible wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

John Vitt

Was not satisfied at all. All of there food was cold. No fresh sushi. Unsanitary and Nasty. Only thing good was my Mt. Dew

Jose Altube

Good food and very clean place

Joseph Buckley

Everything you could expect at an American Chinese Buffet. The food was fresh and the staff were very tentative and polite.

Bruce Yang

Too expensive. Long line wait..for lobster. Not worth it .

Anthony DeVito

A bit overpriced but has a wide selection. The restaurant itself is very comfortable and large and the staff is very friendly.

jessica rowinski

There was not a good variety of food, and everything was cold and tasted like it sat there for a long time.

Francisco Uribe Luna

Muy buen lugar, abundante y variada comida oriental a precio cómodo tipo buffet.

Bel Anz

Was good my family and I went there really frequently but now they have too much spicy food than before; and it limits our visits, maybe once a month and only to go. Too much spicy and no variety dishes for my grandchilds and my elder people. Maybe one day they prepare something different and no spicy.

Bryan Chansivivong

Good spot to fill ya belly. Plenty of options to choose from. You will find something you will like. Wednesday and Friday lobster is serve so expect a crowd.

Elier Alonso Acosta

Hace dos meses cenamos en este lugar y estaba perfecto Hoy volvimos a visitarlo y la verdad de haber menos de una Estrella le Daria menos 5 Estrellas la comida pesima no acertaron en Ningun Plato. Puede que algo no guste pero cuando no gusta Nada es algo general. Repito pesimo

TONY LANE

AVERAGE AT BEST

Silvia Rogel

Overall the food was really good and there is a lot of variety! I would have given 5 stars but I just had a bad experience with the waitress. She just had a bad attitude and was rude towards us. Some people were very nice but the person we had just wasn’t very attentive and at the end she kept asking for a bigger tip trying to embarrass us. And as we left she yelled at us. If the waitress was kind and attentive I would have given this place 5 stars and a bigger tip.

Jose

Nice place , good food

Nabil Nasreddine

I don't advice this place to any human beings... quality of food is very bad... No salads at all only some big cut of tomatoes and the whole leaf of lettuce......

Maksim Krupskiy

They have the best Thai food I have ever tasted. From appetizers to three main course dishes to the desserts you'll not be disappointed. I'm a vegetarian and they have plenty of dishes they offer without meat. The vegetarian egg rolls are great. The egg rolls are crispy and served with a very tasty sweet sauce. Every dish has a lot of flavor. The service is also great. The servers are very nice. I would recommend this restaurant too anybody who loves food!

Ho-Ching Yang

Need to wait in long line to get lobaster… it was a waste of time. Quality of raw fish was bad.

Sam Xavier

Well this is a matter of choice ...its a buffet joint so expect the crowd and wait. Also it's a seafood themed buffet so the very very strong stench of fish or raw food. The employee were nice enough but I couldn't just do the crowd lining up for food and the fish smell. I saw lobster meal and whole crab meals on tables ..and then the sushi. They have a parking lot but its shared by the shopping stores.

Jan CC

Tons of largely excellent, well-prepared food, from hibachi to sushi to seafood to delicious desserts. Not cheap, but a fair value for the price. We drive an hour to spend our special occasions here.

Monica

Clean and organized buffet. Everything tasted excellent and staff was very helpful.

Michelle C

It was pretty good.

Bobby Bugaay

I like their crawfish, sushi and maki selections. They also have a hibachi grill, and their seafood selections were nice too.

Will Husa

Sure, it's expensive at $30 a head, but where else are you going to get unlimited lobster and crab? They also have a Mongolian grill area. Rather than wait for the line to the lobster to wind down, I took in the Mongolian grill and the sushi bar. I couldn't believe the number of sushi selections. There were 34 different types of sushi. I had 14 of them. This was my first time here, but it won't be my last.

Jon Roberts

Food quality is great! Tons of options, this place is huge. Price is great, sushi is great.... Love it. Lots of dessert options of you have room. Service is quick, the chefs are very attending and friendly, always willing to help. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Cecilia Ortiz

all you can eat buffet

Delia Pabelonio

Excellent seafood choices for the prize.

John Jackson

The worst food ever. My unborn baby could cook better than this. Looks like im eating rocks for the rest of my days. The manager is rude as heck. And the flan is chuncky and tastes like egg subsititute.Lastly, their pineapples taste like alka- selzer. So basically, I payed for water and food made of cardboard.

i was a regular customer of theirs going in every other day becuz it was good food for a very reasonable amount i dont have any issue with the food its really awesome for the price u pay...i have always got the same server i have dined in for a couple of times and i have a baby girl who is 10 months old so she tends to make a little mess when fed which is very common and i have seen other kids do that too but the last time when i went there i saw my host making faces and behaving differently also to mention their chinese manager came and stopped by us and our server and the manager made some nasty comments deliberately in chinese so we dont understand but i got it....they were talking about my baby and the little food she had dropped....cmon how can u guys be so rude i have always paid you good tips....also the table next to us had all grown ups still when they left i saw her sweeping the floor as they had dropped a lot of food too so why would you be rude i have always greeted and treated my server very nicely but no1 messes with my baby so you have lost a loyal customer now....never going back

I LOVE this restaurant! They have a huge Selection with a big staff. The food is very good and fresh for being a buffet. I’ve been to others where my favorite dishes where horrible and you could tell the food was sitting for long periods of time. My waitress was very attentive to my needs and I would definitely go back. You don’t see the employees Walking around stirring the food so is does not look all dried out. I was surprised one day to find they were serving lobsters! FOR 35.00 I had 4 lobster tails and sushi and the wait was but minimal for the line serving lobsters. At the most there was only 3 people before me at the lobster line. My favorite 5 star Sushi bar charges over 100. For 15-20 pieces of the nigiri. Had to stop that after I spent thousands of dollars there.

Terrible service and at best average food. Plates weren't cleared, water not refilled meanwhile waiter was standing laughing with other staff. When he got low tip he ran out and harrassed me about the tip. Unacceptable customer service. Please do not waste your money with this place.

Steve Libby

One of the finest buffets ever. Top shelf.

Tasty food fair price love the food they serve can break your diet plan . It's a fight between diet or eat more .

Gregory Wilkiel

Things aren't what they used to be.. Dishes are dirty, food trays aren't filled like they used to be, sticker on table says if you don't finish your food on your plate you may be charged extra, they appear to be rationing crab legs now and you cannot pick out on your own. Their Lobster is rubbery and probably overcooked. One of the more expensive buffets around and everything seems to be less for your money. I don't recommend this restaurant.

Ethel Rice

Delicious is not descriptive enough. There are so many options, so many choices. Just the volume of half lobsters alone is reason enough to hit this buffet. We went on a Saturday morning just as they opened at 11am. By noon the place was busy. Go to Arlington race track after stuffing your face and make the day a win, win!

Great food and good value. Service could take a little improvement. We had to move the dirty plates all of the time to the empty table next to us, because no one was coming.

not so good place . i fell sick after eating here.

Zonglin Yang

The waitress trimmed vegetables all the time, and there was no serving after 4 plates on my table. Some Dishes here are too salty and too greasy. Others...like the salmon, are so bland.

Gloria Thompson

Variety and food have excellent flavor.

Jill Nash

A nice variety of food but so dirty and smelly in there. It literally smells like old dish water and food. I ate there and I couldn’t stop thinking about the smell all night long. It made me want to vomit. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to dine out.

Lord Phallus

Went there mad hungry, only to be greeted by some musty, dusty, crusty azz sushi. Joint looked rancid. I was hungry, so I ate some. Each bite made my liver quiver. There oysters were alright, so I had a couple rounds of them jaints. When they ran out, I ask the refill lady if I could please have more. She looked confused and said “there no more”. Ah he’ll nah fam, I came to an all you can eat, and what I usually eat (sushi) looked like it had a bad day. And now you’re telling me no more oysters?! I’m out.

Billy Floyd

This place is extraordinary and spacious, the food was yummy and the prices were very inexpensive. fast, efficient service and very affable staff members. I recommend this place.

David He

Wow. What a lunch buffet! Seafood, dim sum, sushi, stir fry, hibachi you name it. Quality of food and service are well worth the price.

Llin Mares

The food is great. It always has crab night every weekend and place is really nice.

Can here today because my son said this place is good. That is not the case. The crab didn't have any meat in it.. The pizza was rubbery and all the food in this restaurant was just horrible.. I will never come back here again.. I spoke with the manager and she appeared unbother by the informing about her restaurant... And then she told me she really doesn't eat this food either.. No one should go to this place. I can't even call this place a restaurant, that would be giving this place too much credit. Smh.. Bad food, Bad Manager,, JUST BAD ALL THE WAY AROUND...

Elizabeth Gayton

Typical China Buffet. A bit pricey, but lots of seafood options, in addition to regular offerings. French fries were bad.

Tomkatsu

Always come here to celebrate my birthday with some family. Drinks always kept full and empty dishes always picked up whenever possible. I hope this label for the sushi was just a typo though!

lucy Alfaro

Excellent Food. Always very clean.

D Litt

Food is good and mostly hot. A good number of choices to pick from. Staff is friendly. Second time coming here and it's been consistent. Try it out.

Eunjoo Sung

It doesn't even deserve a one star. Bad service and I will never go there again. It was waste of my money and I recommend never going there

Food was good but bathroom was not clean

Grace Marcelo

A lot of variety as always and food tastes good most of the time. I just think that the servers should be able to communicate in English, with English as the universal language. Some of them have a hard time speaking and understanding English, otherwise, their service is good.
