This is one of my favorite Chinese places. It is a "strip mall" type of place, so keep that in mind…read morewhen choosing. It isn't going to be the best authentic Chinese food you ever had, but dang...it is good. It is essentially a take out only type of place. Very limited seating inside. But trust me, it is worth eating in your car if you have to :) Price is great. Food is fast. What more could you want? Very friendly service with everyone I have dealt with.

I really did not have much hope for the food based on the young man taking the order! He has the…read morepersonality of a plastic fork. He looked at me in disgust when I explained it was our first time there, then when I asked if the had a diet drink he pointed to a sparsely stocked refrigerator with mainly two liter bottles. Ok so we get past his obvious disdain for me, I took the food and my wife and I tried every dish on the way home! I really expected to be giving this place a one, but the cooks saved the day. Everything was perfect and quite good. Each dish had a wonderful taste and the sauces they used were spot on. So if you can get past Mr. congeniality you will love this place.

Why have I not reviewed Royal Mandarin?? My wife and I eat here a lot. It's very quiet and always…read morevery clean. Place the order at the counter. They will gladly help you understand what ingredients are involved in various dishes. Most items are pretty standard names. I usually get the "Royal with Fried Rice" and add an egg roll. It rather mild with chicken, beef, shrimp, and artificial crab. My wife gets some sort of pineapple rice that has peanuts on it. She really likes the tofu depending on her tastebuds. Egg rolls are perfect and skewered chicken is definitely a great choice. General Tso's use to be my go to, but it fills me up too much. It's very good but I've just had to back off. We go here probably on average every 20 days. Food is always very fresh. It's just really, really. We see some of the same people eating in there on a routine basis so you know it has a following. Enjoy your Royal Mandarin main dish and don't hesitate to get fortune cookies on the way out!! Pictures to come!!

This is the best piece of advice I can give everyone…read more Never go to a buffet at 3:30 PM. Just ignore that impulse. The price is not less. The food is old. The foods is stale. Don't do it. Come back in two hours. The only time buffets are worth it is when there are a lot of people there. It's like the exact opposite of traditional restaurants. Not much more I can say. It was clean. We've been there many times during busy times. It's usually four star outing. Do NOT GO TO A BUFFET AT 3:30 PM.

Foods so good here even after 10 years. Maybe we are older, the sauce for crispy tofu is a bit too…read moresweet, but the tofu was fried very well, and flavor overall is still really good. Both scallion oil and numb oil noodles are really good and good value too at $6 each. Flavors are on point. Luroufan special was also good $8 and they give quite a lot so easy to split among the kids. Meat is tender and not overly sweet. The scallion ginger fish fillet was probably the best, and they give a good chunky pieces of fish that is not breaded, but the way they cooked it. The meat trunks stayed together intact. The flavor is what you expect from traditionally steamed fish with soy sauce pour over at the end. Super pleased with the options. They have an interesting self serve utensils, takeout boxes and the tea is self serve too.
