Worst dining experience of my life. It was silent in there which was weird to begin with, then the food was awful. Terrible. The sushi was not cold, definitely below temperature. No flavor on most of the items that I tried to eat. No one that was with me (there were 3 of us) like the food at all so I didnt eat it. We each got a plate and no knew could eat it. Unanimous disgust. I explained our displeasure with the whole experience before we attempted another plate with different foods and the hostess showed me my bill of $45.00 and crossed it out, writing in $30.00 instead. Seriously? I had to pay $30 to leave unhappy and hungry. We will never go back to this place!! Used to be a favorite of ours. Had this "meal" been no charge due to our extreme displeasure we may have tried again. I wont recommend this place to anyone ever again.

If I could post a zero star rating, I would. This the absolute worst buffet experience Ive ever had. If I was new to Chinese cuisine I would probably think it was great and worth five stars as well, but this isnt the first buffet Ive eaten at and my stomach is not made of iron. The "sushi" was warm; the avacado was black, the only meat was imitation crab, and it actually stank. Reluctantly, I ate it, big mistake. All of the sea food was the same gross smell and and even worse taste. Most everything else was bland or over salted. The soups had turned thick and chunky with disgusting films over the top. The floors are all carpet. DO NOT EAT HERE. Its a guarantee to make you sick. Save money and eat at Kobe in downtown Shelton. I guarantee friendlier hosts, great and fresh food, less expensive food, and a clean restaurant.

Very affordable and friendly people. I love their food. Around 4pm is the best time to go because the food is just made. Have variety of food youd typically find at a large buffet restaurant, including what my kids enjoy (even french fries, onion rings and tatter toss). I threw a birthday party of 30 people there once. I think its a pretty big restaurant. Probably can hold about 50 people easily. The attached full bar is worth trying. I would go there again.

Go for deep fried value. Great prices on all you can eat.However, I am vegetarian and prefer to limit the amount of deep frieds and other oils. Its good to treat yourself, but I dont think Id do that here again. There was plenty for a vegetarian to chose from, and my dad couldnt get enough of the seafood which looked pretty quality. There were definitely a few good dishes, but I felt like I was sweating oil for the next 2 days. Nice people.

Ive lived in Shelton for 5 years now. There are a couple of restaurants here of the finer-dining style that I havent tried, but the Royal Shanghai certainly beats everything else by a mile. Its not expensive, and there is a terrific buffet. If youre approaching on Olympic Highway from the south, turn left onto the driveway that is at the north end of McDonalds--- you go back on that driveway, and the Shanghai is on the right.

This place is the definition of rotten... their buffet had been sitting out ALL day I believe, we paid 25 dollars for dinner and didnt even get to eat it it was so revulting. If I could give less than 1 star I definitely would. Dont be surprised when you have food poisoning the night you eat here.. the new owners are NO GOOD. Is this a drug trafficking cover up company??

Tables were sticky most food was gone or very low. Soup looked and tasted old. Bad service. Bad food. Jello was ok but how can u mess up jello. Surprised this place is still is business. They must know when the health department is going to arrive. Greeter at the door looks like homeless bag lady. Wont be back. Sucki sushi.....

I forgot my coat in the booth and after getting home it was a couple hours later I realized I left it there I went back for it and two ladys rudely yelled at me that they dont have my coat and told me to get out, plus their food was COLD!!!! All you can eat more like all you can stand it was bad!!

I recently went to the royal shanghai in shelton for lunch the food was great the buffet was very affordable and the people serving me were so nice. I would personally recommend this restaurant to anybody outta all the buffets I have been to this 1 is the best.

Current owners are terrible, things were either lukewarm, or rock hard from being kept warm too long without rotation. Literally inedible, and I am not even a picky eater! I wouldnt trust anything there. Service was very poor/almost non-existent. Stay away!

Loved it here. Didnt expect such a good Chinese buffet in a smaller town and I was really pleased. Had a little of everything and nothing was bad. Loved the sushi. Everything was plentiful and the price seemed very reasonable. Well be back. :-)

Went on Friday evening, not very busy. Staff friendly but no impressed with food. All the sauces were sweet instead of spicy. First time I had General Tso chicken and it was not spicy at all. Food looked fresh enough just did not taste great.

The restaurant managers wouldnt honor their advertised internet prices because they had recently changed owners. The buffet wasnt clearly labelled. The food was mediocre and it is next to impossible to find in the dark.

Typical Chinese buffet fare, some of it looks great, some looks terrible.. but theyve got a great salad bar and their steamed items were good. You get what you pay for. Service was average.

A Golden Corral type buffet with all the goodies, including ice cream. More Chinese, but perfectly edible. When you have a large family, its affordable and pleasant.

Very generic chinese. I have had ok food here, but also have had some of the worst chinese I have ever tasted. If you like processed and deep fried youll love it.

Old, dry, hard chicken in every dish. Everything just tasted like its been sitting for quite a few hours. Maybe we should have gone at a peak hour...

Food was terrible and not at all worth the money! Crappy place! Never will go there again. Better off buying cheap t.v. dinners...same quality.

Went there a couple times on weekends. Very nice food and service. The price is also reasonable. A good choice for family dinner.

One of my favorite places to watch the Seahawks with friends and let the spirits roll. The bartenders are always friendly...

Hated it we tried it and will use the gas to go to Supper Buffet in Lacey (Hawks Prairie) Wal-Mart exit parking lot of Big Lots.
