The restaurant it's self is absolutely beautiful. it's definitely a must do if you enjoy Buffet! Take a moment to look around the entire place it's absolutely awesome you can reserve space to have events. Even the ghost of Toys R us is smiling

I don't usually do buffets but I took my family here for a belated Christmas dinner (12/28) and I have to say, this place exceeded my expectations & is probably one of the best buffets I've been to. They have a huge selection of everything~ fish, seafood, Peking duck, all kinds of meats, skewers, drinks, desserts, fried foods, sushi even dim sum. Most of the food I had was pretty good (not the sushi & peking duck, my fave were the lobster & soft shell crab) and not to mention, the service was impeccable. Servers were always around to collect our dirty plates & refill our waters. The dinner price is reasonable @ $39 pp, seniors $34 & kids $14/$17. Come before 4 pm to avoid a long wait, it gets really busy esp. on the weekends~ Definitely check them out! :)

OUTSTANDING selection, taste and service. The best buffet in the Philadelphia region. Go with an empty stomach guaranteed to leave full. Well worth the price.

I been her twice ! The hospitality was great! I enjoyed my food and the atmosphere! The soap is amazing! haven't had frog legs in over 30 years and was not disappointed!! See you soon!

WOW, we had an amazing meal at this place. This is a pretty high end Asian buffet that had a very good selection of food. This place completely stands out from other Asian buffets. The big standout dish everyone needs to try here is the Peking Duck. It's made fresh there and it's astonishing that this is being served in a buffet at all. There is no corners cut in making the Peking Duck, it is authentic, crispy, and amazing. There is also a carving station that had several meats that a cook can carve for you including sausage, ham, turkey, and roast beef. The bubble tea section has 3 different flavors to choose from. The bubble tea isn't as sweet as other places, has popping bubbles instead of tapioca pearls, and it's pretty good. The soup area more choices to choose from than any other buffet I've ever visited. I chose the Lobster Bisque and it was delicious. There is plenty of sushi to go around and this is not your typical buffet sushi. The quality is two cuts above other places. There was also a whole section dedicated to dim sum! Of course the other Asian buffet staples are here too, so don't worry about missing out on something you'd fine somewhere else. The only criticism I have is that the desserts are a little boring. They are too "run of the mill". Other than that, I can wholeheartedly recommend visiting this place if you want a higher end experience going to a buffet. The whole place is a well oiled machine and you'll be satisfied with the meal. It is worth every single penny.

Well worth the $84.00 my husband and I paid they had at least 5 different kinds of shrimp and crabs lamb chops sushi dim sum Chinese soda bubble tea clams and mussels can't wait to go back they are constantly cleaning bathrooms we're clean and they will be serving alcohol soon

The verdict: Royal Buffet and Grill is hands down the best buffet in the Greater Philadelphia Area!

I thought I had died and went to foodie heaven y'all!!!! This is by far THE best all you can eat buffet you will likely go to in your life! I don't think there's anything mediocre about this buffet unless you just don't know a great buffet when you see one. I think the food is even better than some of the well known smorgasbords in Lancaster PA. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of how crowded it got but the restaurant can't help it because that's how good they are! That in and of itself tells you a lot. The parking lot is big but not big enough to accommodate so many parties so you might have to drive around a bit. There also are beggars in the parking lot, so that can be a bit of a turn off and something should be in place to discourage that. There is plenty of seating inside, it's comfortable, spacious, great ambiance. There's a main dining area and also separate dining rooms with more seating and that can accommodate larger parties. I visited on a Saturday and my gut feeling was to arrive no later than 3pm and even by that time it was PACKED. Fortunately we were able to get a table right away since we had a smaller party of 3 adults, 1 child. Folks coming in squad deep with over 5 people had longer waits. I saw parties of 15! It was wild! But now I know why. And by 5pm the waiting area had roughly 70 people between the inside and standing outside. No lie! There was no arguing, or fights breaking out, people were patiently waiting. I was AMAZED. I never seen anything like it in my life. Especially from y'all cousins :) During the week it's likely less crowded so if you want to avoid the crowd, try it during the week and still try to get there before the dinner rush. The only thing is that you might miss out on some of the great items being served on the weekend. Starting at around 4pm on the weekends it's all you can eat LOBSTER. That's right lobster! The claws and tails! The buffet is out of this world! They also have a hibachi station and sushi bar all included in your price of $39 pp. You have roughly a 2 hour window of gorging on whatever your heart desires! They have lamb chops that were well seasoned, tender, not chewy at all, really good cut of meat. In fact, everything I ate was well seasoned. I didn't need any soy sauce, salt, pepper. Nothing was bland. The fish was good but the salmon was a tad overcooked, but again, at no fault of the restaurants as they do their best to keep everything hot but the longer the salmon is kept warm it tends to over cook. Other than that it delicious. I will definitely return with my foodie friends to this spot.

Went by myself yesterday at 4pm. Food was really good! Their stone crab was good like last time, as well as the corn and coconut shrimp. They had Scallop in garlic sauce with a little bit of glass noodles and they were amazing! Only downside I think the beef short ribs were overcooked today. Paid $42 after taxes. Service wise I paid before sitting this time, previously when I was with someone we paid after eating. But I prefer paying first because then I'm free to eat. Was sat in a booth, and I guess it was near a waiters station because it felt like 4 staff members were right over my shoulder the entire time, and I heard too much information about them. I didn't like that, but i didn't want to be mean and ask them to move away from me. It wasn't too busy for a midday meal on a Thursday so that was nice. And someone fell or had an incident and the staff helped them carefully.
