Although I do think Hibachi has one of the better chinese buffets, the margin isn't by a lot. My favorite is the Hibachi station where you're able to choose from the assortment of items for them to cook for you! The servers are amazing and sweet and everything is usually clean. However, the quality got worse over the years and the sushi has a weird and fishy aroma to it. Most of the options are replaced with fried food. It's better than others though. Overall, 6/10.

Updated prices as of 6/2/25.

Typical Chinese buffet food, but they also have some dim sum dishes, sushi/ sashimi, and of course a hibachi grill. The food is pretty consistently good and flavorful. Some of the better crawfish compared to other buffets. They are constantly bringing out fresh food and keeping the trays filled, even towards the end of the night vs other buffets that completely shut down and leave your options limited if you come in late. They do free birthdays (must be on the actual day and show id). Also note that they don't let you pay with a gift card if you are claiming a free birthday meal.

The amount of money we payed was not worth the quality of the food.

$20/adult and only 10/ seniors 60+. Crazy good value Food: [what they have, my thoughts, my favorites at the end] Fried food - french fries, popcorn shrimp, crab rangoons, chicken wing, fried doughnut, etc. [I liked their crab rangoon and popcorn shrimp! didnt try the rest] Soup - egg drop, hot and sour, porridge, and miso soup [all were good! i especially enjoyed the porridge, it had accents of ginger. very warming and soothing] Sushi - sashimi, tuna/spicy tuna roll, chef cooked rolls, salmon roll, eel avocado roll, etc. [decent sushi surprisingly] For dinner they even have crawfish that people empty in a few minutes. They even wait by the station till the staff bring out a new batch. The crab is good, seasoned, piping hot, and yummy. My favorites: Crab bake, general tso chicken, banana pudding, pork bun, hibachi, tom yum soup, cheese mussels! Service: It's a buffet so very fast of course. they clean your table and plates up fast very attentive staff. Ambiance: Very very busy, bustling? lively with large families! It's a buffet.

I was in this side of town today, so i stopped by this place again for lunch. Same as last time i visited this place, good food, nice service. I am glad all the construction that was going on around this location, has been completed and there isn't any more going on for now, making access and egress a lot easier. Still haven't gotten around to trying the hibachi or pho that they serve, however I did find the hidden corner, where they keep and serve the ice cream cups, I didn't know about them last time. Keep up the good food, and good service. See you next time.

2024October. Price is $21 per adult for dinner and on weekends. There's some dim sum items like chicken feet and steamed buns. Sushi and sashimi items are available- quality is average. Hibachi grill is nice option for some fresh stir fry but would stay away from beef/steaks as the cuts are tough. Rest of the items are typical Chinese buffet options, along with Cajun seasoned crawfish. For birthday celebrations, they bring a lotus flower cute candle that opens.

This is one of the better Chinese Buffets in Houston. We were quite pleased with the variety. There's the usual Chinese food, but there's also a Hibachi grill and sushi/sashimi. There's even Dim Sum. Here's your chance to try Chicken Feet! Prices are very reasonable at $13.49, especially for weekday lunches. There were a lot of people around Friday lunchtime. Service and ambiance is quite typical for this type of place. The staff was quite prompt in removing the empty plates once we're done. It's even open for Christmas if you're looking for a feast on a day where most restaurants are closed.

As a fan of buffets in my prime eating/fattening days, I frequented many across the Houston area and judged it based on its selections, quality, and value. This was a very popular spot and remains one of the better selections in the area. Variety is the spice of life, as they say, and Hibachi not only offers the standard Mongolian grill option but a full sushi bar with Sashimi (can be hit or miss and definitely consume at your peril), a dim sum area with chicken feet/ribs/dumplings (not bad actually), and full self-served ice cream bar (this was better pre-pandemic as the quality of the ice-cream has dropped as they switch to individual cups). There are also some expensive options like crab legs, steak, fish, and the underrated crawfish in my opinion. Overall I would rate it fairly well based on the selections and value. (even better if you're looking to bulk up and prefers Quantity over quality) There have been several price increases due to inflation over the years but for $17.99 (weeknights) and $18.99 (weekends) at the time of this review, it's still not a bad price for a buffet of this caliber.

An average Asian buffet. There is a jalapeño favor throughout some of the Chinese dishes that shouldn't be there. The made-to-order grill is a good stir-fry. The sashimi is fresh. The ice cream is nice as its individual containers of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. The bathrooms were clean too. The char su baos were dry. Some flavors in the dishes aren't fully developed. The parking lot is large so it should be easy to find parking. The servers were quick at clearing the table. The hibachi chefs were good.

Food is pretty good depending on what you get, some of the food was not very warm, they do have a big selection of food however

Do they offer free meal for the person on his/her birthday?

Yes. Must show ID. Only valid on actual birthday and can't pay with gift card for the rest of the party.

Hi, does anyone know if this place is open for dine in? I tried calling but I keep getting sent to voicemail.

They are open for dine-in. The buffet is still a bit normal but w/ optional gloves and sanitizer provided, masks are required when getting food, and social distancing is enforced by reducing the number of tables, especially in the hibachi line.

What's day you open again?

Everyday

When you come in, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - approximately $15 a plate. 3. Ambiance - Classy restaurant. I love the white linen on the tables. Soft music, white and red walls with Thai decor. Natural lighting during the day with warm interior lighting. It appears that there has been a makeover to the restaurant. I like the new look more. It seems more upscale in appearance. Dress code here is business casual. 4. Food - I've had their YELLOW CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND WHITE RICE. Curry is a bit sweet to my liking, but overall, it was a good meal. Will have to try other dishes next time. Food presentation is nicely plated. Not messy or sloppy. 5. Cleanliness - dining area is clean. The waitstaff keeps this place in tip top shape. The only complaint I have, although not exactly about cleanliness, I would suggest that management take a look at the lock in the men's restroom. Although it was locked, someone was able to enter still. SUMMARY This is a petite Thai cafe. Everything about this place was enjoyable. I would definitely come back to try again and will highly recommend this place.

It's cute from the outside, and as soon as you walk in, you're warmly welcomed by both the waitress and waiter. Once seated, they were quick with drink orders and attentive throughout service was impeccable...For food, I ordered my go to Tom Kha Kai, along with the crab wontons from their happy hour menu. The Tom Kha had a lighter, more watery base than the rich coconut flavor I'm used to. I know this can vary by region, so it wasn't bad, just not my personal preference...The cream cheese crab wontons were decent and nicely presented. They also served a complimentary appetizer, which was a fun surprise, a taco shaped fried wonton wrapper filled with cabbage and their house dressing...Overall, if you're looking for a quick Thai bite with excellent service, this place works. I'm giving it 3.5 out of 5 not because it's bad, but because the flavors didn't quite match what I personally look for. For what it is, it's solid. -- Pilgrim Sojourner

The difference between Royal Buffet (君臨閣) and other Chinese buffets around this part of town comes…read moredown to size and variety. The plus side (#1) is the abundant parking, practically guaranteed seating, and options that skew on the more authentic side of things. The downside is knowing the limitations that come with affordably priced buffets and quality of food. The official entrance is from the parking lot between Vinh Hoa (#2) and the massage. Plenty of folks will also enter from the back, which is through the Dynasty Plaza mall and takes a bit longer. It then becomes a question of stairs (parking lot) versus an escalator (mall). At $18-24 (lunch to holiday pricing), the prices aren't too steep for AYCE food. Kids 3 and under eat free but are otherwise subject to $13-14 per person. Non-water drinks are $2.39 a person, so definitely get as many refills as possible. The place is as massive on the inside as it looks on the outside. Window side seating offers an elevated view of Chinatown, but don't focus too much on the excessive finger prints along the windows. The seating is so abundant that almost any size group should have zero problem finding space. There is also a large private room that is ideal for special functions, equipped with TVs and a sound system. Food wise, it's a hodgepodge of all food types. Here's a breakdown in the stations: Mongolian Grill / Noodle Soup: This is a combo station where one can customize their stir fry. I had decent results with lo mein, an egg, some vegetables with beef slices. The person cooking drizzled sesame oil, soy sauce seasoning, and water and each time it took around 3-5 minutes. The noodle soups are a bit more standard but the options here are the noodle options are wonton noodle, beef noodle, seafood noodle, and beef pho. I wouldn't recommend ordering the latter. Fruits & Salads / Cold Dishes / Seafood: A standard selection of cold fruit salads, which is unsurprisingly the least exciting part of the buffet. I'm impressed with the variety of the sushi on the seafood end, but the presentation and fish quality is extremely mediocre. It won't deter most folks, since most people perceive value by loading up on the rolls. When in doubt, shoot for the sashimi. Entrees: With the exception of the eyesore dim sum and standard fried food selection, there is a solid selection of hot food. The weekend offerings is probably the best they'll have, but some standouts here included the thin ribeye slices, a solid mapo tofu with a kick, well seasoned clams, fish slices, pork spare ribs, a very solid steamed fish, and several varieties of fried noodle. Folks might enjoy the Chinese-American selection, which should have all the classics (sesame chicken, beef with broccoli, marinated chicken wings, etc.) and then some. Serviced as a decent job of clearing tables, offering water refills, cleaning the food counters, and replenishing empty trays. I appreciate some small touches, such as their multicolored plates for different selections, bathrooms, and well marked labels. Buffet lovers who are in it for the thrill of copious portions will likely enjoy what's available here. __________ (#1) Aside from one's waistline. (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/vinh-hoa-houston

I get it - it's right after the holidays so staffing could be short. The server we had wasn't exactly enthusiastic, just did the bare minimum. Dishes piled up and we weren't asked about refills.

My favorites were the bulgogi gimbap, eggroll (tiny rolled egg omelette), and chicken wings! They come out super hot - loved them all. The hot buffet bar was not filled at all, some were even just empty. I found it disappointing that we didn't get to try a lot of their items. The hot buffet bar was really scarce, I mean, just fried dumplings and fries but they were refilled really slow and some never had refills. The boba bar was empty and never filled. The DIY ramen station was closed off. I tipped only because I felt like I had to, but the service was abysmal. I would come back but maybe for lunch instead of dinner. Hopefully service improves.
