It was very nice inside the restaurant and the staff was nice but the food was absolutely terrible, I have never been thoroughly disappointed by a Chinese buffet but this place is utterly pathetic. The lo mein was bland and harder that it should be plus it was cold when I got to my table 15 seconds after i put it on my plate, they didnt have pot stickers (gioza), the fried rice was mushy and tasteless, I also grabbed some spicy chicken and the first 3 pieces I bit into were just fat, the plates were small and made out of cheap plastic, the sweet and sour chicken had random hard pieces mixed in, my spouse who loves sushi had 2 pieces and didnt want anymore because it was not good, the garlic toast at this place was soggy on top, the cheese sticks were cold and the cheese had probably never been melted, the fruit looked like it was a couple days old, and to top it off... even the packaged ice cream sucked. Every single Chinese buffet I have ever been to has had an ice cream dispenser and this place is so cheap they just buy little cups of ice cream like you get in high school for lunch. This place is terrible and I will never go back. The only good food at this place is the chicken and broccoli and bacon wrapped pineapple. STAY AWAY, I wish I had never went there.

I will honestly say it was ok for my 1st time there . There are a lot of seafood options ill assure that which is good. But..... I do hope they will improve the wait time for the lobster. Serving one tray at a time with only what looks like 8 halves of lobster per time and having people wait for the next batch to cook is ridiculous. I did not even get a lobster cause of the wait was too long and by then i was not even hungry for it. I paid good money to go eat not wait . Staff was on point , quick service is a plus. But yes please do improve on the lobster wait time. I just didnt understand why 2 or 4 trays were not used to cook the lobsters when lines are long. Ask yourself the question from a customers stand stand point do you really want to wait for almost 15min for half a lobster in line ? Also why not just serve a whole lobster. ? I noticed the day i went i heard some people also complain about just getting a whole lobster combined after being there for an hour and a half from waiting in line. So technically its not ALL U CAN EAT LOBSTER its ALL U CAN WAIT in line AND IF U GET LUCKY U WILL.GET TO EAT A "WHOLE" LOBSTER combined before you lose your appetite or get full from waiting.

Went around 12pm, the outside does not really lead you to believe the place is so nice inside. It was very clean and pleasant, my experience with other types of Asian buffets has conditioned me to expect a more worn down appearance. It was bright inside and colourful. They have a fairly vast selection of food, and a lot of seafood. I enjoyed most of my food, but a few things were not enjoyable. The sushi I had tasted stale(as if it had been out for a while) and I almost expect this especially since it was so slow when I was there. The dumplings I tried haf a weird taste and Im not sure of its my taste buds or if there was actually something off about it. A few things I tried for the first time and really enjoyed: crawfish, frog legs, teriyaki calamari, and some type of doughy dumpling filled with pork-- and they were all delicious. Coconut shrimp, cream cheese rangoon, teriyaki chicken were all delicious as well. The service was quick and the servers were nice, I did wish they emphasized the almost $30 price on Saturday applied even if you werent eating lobster. All in all I will go back and would recommend this place to people.

The food selection is great, theres alot to choose from...ive never left a bad review before, but this is an exception. Towards the end of my meal, i grabbed some desert; a coffee cake in particular and as i was eating it, i turned the cake to the side to get a better piece only to find out there was colony of mold growing on the side of the cake. It wasnt just a spec of mold, it was the size of a dime! I asked to speak to the manager and when he came all he said was, "ill tell the chef." He didnt offer an apology and just walked away; I was really disappointed at how the manager handled the situation and hope that this doesnt happen to anyone else. Point of the story is: check your cake before you eat it...

Be aware sunday all you can eat lobster scam. This place used to called Miyavi buffet. We didnt like the previous services. The price way much higher compare to other places in the metro. Since they change the name to royal and we tried on their sunday all you can eat lobster. It turned out to be the same people running the place before. You can eat all other kind of good but the lobster is a scam. All you can wait for a lobster chopped out in half. I paid 25 buck to stand in line 30 to 45 mins to get a half lobster. I paid money to eat good food not to work for the food. What is a scam.

Incredible selection of seafood. including some rarely if ever seen on a buffet. This is by far my favorite in the area. I have not tried the "ordinary" food yet as once Im done sampling the seafood which includes sushi, sachimi, rolls, fresh oysters, all sorts of crabs, geoduck clams, razor clams several kinds of snails, scallops in the shell, several types of crab and shrimp, mussels squid, octopus and I probably forgot quite a few, I must admit that Im too full for the "regular" food. A must visit place.

It says all you can eat lobster, but you are serve only half a lobster each time you line up for it. $26/adult and $19/child over 10 yrs old on Saturday and Sunday. Theres a lot of selection here but only a minimal items are worth eating. So if your intent is on consuming as many lobsters as possible, this is your place, but be prepared to wait in line for it (about 8-15 minutes each time) for 1/2 a lobster being serve to you by a worker there.

I actually give this place ZERO stars!!!! This is the worst buffet Ive even been to.. food was a huge disappointment! Also you have to pay extra to eat the crab?? Shouldnt it be included? Especially with the ridiculously high dinner price! Smdh.. I will never recommend this place to anyone! The staff was also very rude! They stand over and hover over you while you eat!! So uncomfortable and very rude. I wouldve been happier eating at McDonalds!

So overpriced. You could go to Buffalo Wild Wings for the same price AND get fresh food. The food sits there probably for hours until it goes. Ive liked the sushi in the past but since thats the only thing edible I wont be back. Just shockingly expensive for what is offered. I had the chocolate moussee and Im pretty sure it was made from pool water. Save some bills and go to one of the many great restaurants in the area.
