If Buffet is prefixed by words as Golden, Grand, Kingdom, or Crown, what thought pops up? It's a Chinese buffet. So what is Royal Buffet? Yes, a Chinese buffet! However unlike any other Chinese buffet in the TC, it's different in that it offers dim sum. On this visit there were about 20 different dim sum items including daikon cakes, egg tarts, siu mai, beef tripe daikon stew, chicken feet, sticky rice in lotus leaf, shrimp balls, beef chow fun, cha siu so, chung fun plus a few that I don't know what they're called.
Some of it was good such as the beef chow fun and the shrimp balls, some average as the beef tripe diakon , and some below par like the egg tart and cha siu so. Don't expect the quality you would get in a dedicated dim sum eatery. But then again what do you expect for about $12 including premium offerings such as crab legs, crawfish, and 35 count shrimp as well as the standard Chinese offerings? The crawfish was done fairly well. I didn't try any of the standard Chinese offerings so I'm unable to comment.
The place was packed around noon. Lot's of traffic and families. The food overall may not have been spectular but for $12 and especially for the dim sum offering, I say this is a tremendous value. The only thing holding us back from making frequent visits is the driving distance.

New owner started this dim sum thing this year and they are better than when they just started. This place is close to where I live so I dont have to go to the grand city buffet.
The furniture and design is great, you can find more latest Buffets here
