    Poor Furr's Buffet on San Mateo closed down, who knows if it was the pandemic ... now this place is a Chinese restaurant buffet. I am impressed the food was delicious and out did other local buffets. The place was clean and also greeted right away and waiter refilled water. The price is acceptable and I will visit when I crave Chinese. Lastly the salmon sushi was very delicious.

    This Asian style buffet was barely ok. The cost for food was reasonable. The quality of the food was pretty questionable. I am unable to eat chicken. I was not able to eat potstickers without taking one, breaking it open, and checking the inside. (Which seemed to be pork). There were very few labels on the food. The food temp was probably borderline. There were "crab Rangoons" that had been dunked in the fryer, but had not been crisped up. Someone posted much of this is pre-prepped Frozen and canned food. I agree. Hubby and I question if the employees are the same as Buffet King.

    A good assortment from the buffet  1-18-25

    It's a buffet with a fair variety of many types of foods. Some really tasty items: the fried chicken wings, BBQ Ribs (usually very tender) cheese Mussels, egg rolls, fried fish, poached white fish, Tofu sushi pockets, even the enchiladas are reasonable. Also some good ice cream (I like to add some peach juice to my strawberry ice cream It's a buffet under $16 - even on a Sunday night. I couldn't figure out where I wanted to go for dinner - I was able to have many different cuisines. Some are better than places that specialize in certain styles. A good meal at a reasonable price - and NO DISHES!! 2-23-25 (photos taken over several visits)

    Given 5 Stars because: - Service was wonderful filling drinks (5 times) & removing dirty plates - 4, 45 foot rows of food or 8 lanes to serve from - Clean glass doors, restroom urinals & toilets as I wash my hands each time I dish out - Healthy selection of seafood, beef dishes and chicken dishes. Not sire if pork is offered as dishes do not have name tags. - At $15.99 for adults, a senior citizen discount and $2.49 drinks, you can say it is affordable. - I spiced up my dishes with their chili oil, and imported Sriracha sauce. - large groups of ten or more will have the option of the private dining room or tables that seat 13. - Vegan options. - Desserts galore. - Ice cream station offering 4 flavors; cherry, vanilla, chocolate & mint chocolate chip. - tappen grill. Do not know if attendant understood English, just Mandarin. - The buffet was beautifully arranged, should have snapped my photos then but....hungry The three of us came out full at $52.

    Hot and sour soup.

    This was actually a very pleasant surprise. We originally drove all the way to Hong Kong on the west side but my daughter had some anxiety because of how packed it was. We found this place on Yelp and said it was good for people who liked Hong Kong and to our pleasant surprise it was VERY similar. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same ownership. They had a lot of similar menu items and setup. We went when they offered a father's day special buffet so it was more expensive than usual but still a great value. I don't know if some of the items we had available would be there on a typical day. We had a great meal and the staff was very friendly and attentive to our drinks refills and removing of our dirty plates. Would definitely come back.

    I am shocked that this is the first review! We drove by and thought Furr's was open again, but noticed the sign Royal Buffet Grill. We decided to stop and eat since we were on the go and a buffet is a great place for everyone to ve satisfied wnd find exactly what they want. We were all surprised to see this was an asian buffet! My daughter and I had been in the mood for sushi, so it worked perfect. They had at least 6 different rolls to choose from, a grill for fresh cooked food, and lots of traditional dishes. The waiter was so fast with beverages and taking our plates. He was nice and accommodating when we asked if he could point us in the right direction of some sauces for our rolls. The music was really pleasant. The only real downside was that the decor was all left over from Furr's, including pictures of dishes that were not being served. There were also signs above dishes that were not being served. BBQ Pork, Italian Pasta, etc. I am not sure if they were misplaced or signs from the last Furr's dishes. Worth a stop if you're hungry, enjoy a variety of asian food, and want to try a new buffet!!

Our waitress did come back to bring the coffee. Before she got there we were discussing the fact that the entire staff was new. She must have overheard us and took it as some kind of slight to her. Two minutes later the manager came over to inform us that we were being rude to her server and that she would be taking over our service. After some discussion my wife said, "this is ridiculous, guess we won't be coming here again" the manager said "well I'll cancel your order and you can leave now". We said we didnt want her to cancel our order and she just said have a nice day. So we left. Sooo not the Vicks Vittles of the past.

Yesterday we popped in on a whim and found it was one of the evenings that Curry Leaf does a buffet. One of the things that's really wonderful about this restaurant is - not only is the food wonderfully flavorful and of top quality; these folks can COOK - you find many dishes here you don't run across in most of the "cater to the lowest common denominator" Indian restaurants. At Curry Leaf, you'll find both northern and southern dishes. And if you go when there's a buffet, you'll find the dishes actually _change_ - and there are a variety of them, and they're cerebral. (Ever see aamrakhand on a buffet before? I never have - and this mango/saffron pudding is haunting my taste buds' memory this morning.) Yes, you'll find the classics well represented, but I've never seen goat chettinad on a buffet anywhere else in the US. I'm past the age of eat-until-I-can't-move, but the buffet at Curry Leaf was so good that it's the next morning and I already have a hankering to return. Oh! And I forgot to add that the tiny fried green chile for the sandwiches was the tastiest green chile this New Mexican has had so far this year! Ah, and the dosas are just wonderful - quite a variety - and included with the buffet (so are the naan). Curry Leaf also has a good variety of beers and some wines. Service is polite and friendly and omnipresent without being intrusive in a comfortable room where a group, a couple or a few friends can always find seating. If you've not tried Curry Leaf, you're missing out.

We ordered a bit of everything, from curried goat to saag paneer, from garlic naan to chicken makhani and biryani. Our entire meal was superb! Every time we eat here, I am pleasantly surprised about how amazing the food tastes. Not only is the food delicious, but they get our order correct every time. We are generally ordering numerous items and we have yet to be shorted. I'm always very impressed with their team and service. I have been inside The Curry Leaf before and I can tell you that it's beautiful. It has an open floor plan and lots of light. This is my favorite Indian restaurant so I will definitely be back. If you want some really awesome Indian food then I highly recommend The Curry Leaf. Don't forget to grab a mango lassi!!!

"We can cook them more was the response we got" If you know anything about shellfish you should know If mussels don't open when you cook them, the usual rule is: don't eat them. * Most of the time: a mussel that stays closed after cooking was already dead before cooking, and that can make it unsafe to eat. * Food safety rule: toss any that don't open after being fully cooked.

We initially decided on this place because they offered oysters on a half shell. I figured they would be small oysters, but no, these oysters reminded me of the size of gulf oysters. The oyster dish came with all of the fixings, horseradish sauce, cocktail sauce, tabasco sauce, lemons, and crackers. I enjoyed every single bite. We ordered a seafood boil dish combo #2 that came with Dungeness Crab Legs, shrimp, clams, sausage, red potatoes, and corn in a crab house cajun sauce with heat level medium spicy. The boil came out just as I finished my last oyster. I failed to take a picture of the beautiful seafood dish before us. Plan to get messy with this place. They put down paper on the table when arriving, and they give gloves and a bib to wear. I took off all of my rings and I got busy cracking and peeling. The cajun garlic butter sauce was so flavorful. I couldn't get enough of it. I swept and dipped my seafood pieces around in it until I could scoop up enough to enjoy with every bite. Our server was attentive to our needs, and the bathroom was clean upon my visit. I didn't mind the walls and poles that were written on. It added its own character.
