My son's FAVORITE Chinese buffet! I love it too especially when I'm in a sushi mood. This buffet has always been a "treat" dinner night out for my son - since he was 8. he's now almost 20 and still gets a goofy smile when I mention it's "treat night out." They have usual Chinese items, General Tso, lo mein,... More

I should have known when half the place was empty on a Saturday night. All fried food was oily and not hot. Meat tasted terrible no matter what we picked. Seafood was mushy and stale tasting. Place is even too cheap to take AMEX cards. The only acceptable part of the place was the dishes(which all had lots of food... More

The food is kind of normal for a Chinese buffet, although not a great selection, and it just looks like its been sitting there all day. I ordered Mongolian and it was cooked with tools that were dirty and looked like they had stuff caked on. I was so grossed out I couldn't even eat it. Also overpriced at 16... More

While most of my family can eat american chinese food only my youngist grand daughter who lives in nyc eats the more asian items like octupus . More than 50% of the customers are chinese and they seem to enjoy the food. So when you read the other reviews keep this in mind. We have eaten here several times when... More

Upon entering this establishment, you will be overwhelmed by a pungent, old, fishy smell. That should be your clue to turn around and leave. If you stay, do not be fooled by the large spread of food. This is the only credible attribute I will compliment them on, they serve just about every type of food imaginable. However, everything is... More

My kids went to eat at the Royal Buffet in East Hanover. Much of what was supposed to be hot was only luke warm. Many things smelled spoiled. Complained to manager. The manager would only give a discount. I called when the kids felt sick later on in the evening. The manager said I should just take them to the... More

When we went there the first thing I saw was the beautiful fish tank in the front. Unfortunately, I forgot that looks can be deceiving. I made a big mistake. When we sit down at our table it was pretty clean. I begin scouting the buffet and take General Tso's chicken, wonton soup and corden bleu. General Tso's chicken was... More

We have been going there since they opened when the food was great and everything was clean. Now, we have gotten terribly sick twice from their food and couldn't believe the condition of the food area or the bathrooms. When i mentioned to the staff that someone had thrown up on the women's room floor they ignored me TWICE. We... More
