i love this food here it bomb the food remind me of my childhood i love there sushi and pizza noodles good

Services are always great when we go there. Plenty of options and always delicious. Always look forward to eating here.

Do not go here I mean the food is so so it's not extraordinary you can get it at other Chinese restaurants and buffets.. THE STAFF IS VERY RUDE STARING AT YOUR PLATE WHILE YOU'RE EATING.. Not even a smile or a head nod.... WHEN LEAVING THE WOMAN SAID YOU LEAVE NO TIP FOR ME?? Imagine that all she did was give us forks and a few drinks did absolutely nothing and then had your audacity to ASK FOR A TIP... read more

I really don't like going here. My father and grandma seem to enjoy it but maybe they have an iron stomach. I always get a stomach ache right after and the service always sucks. They love to hover over you while your getting your card to pay and expect a decent tip. I'll tip if you bug off but if you're gonna stare at me and not give me a moment I'll tip $0. read more

Food was ok some things were cold. Wait staff horrendous we had just got our first plate of food brought the bill out came to our table six times to ask if we wanted to pay. It was 2pm restaurant was empty. She was nasty. read more

First time here. It was okay. The place is "huge" inside. 3 large dining areas, so even if the parking lot looks full, chances are there is still seating. Pricing is fair. Service is good/prompt. It's the selection that's a little weak. The sushi bar was nearly empty most of the time we were there. The Hibachi guy was not the friendliest. We come from Florida and selections are much larger. Maybe we're spoiled.....lol. The food was good, so don't let my review discourage you. Beer was very reasonable. $3.75 for a Yuengling. That's pretty good. read more

The waitress was rude. It was almost like I was being forced out of the restaurant. Some of the selections were cold when they shouldn't have been cold. Overall I would not recommend mainly because of the service. read more

This is our go to place for assorted Chinese food with a splash of American (fries, pizza) service is fair.

I am from NYC so our buffets tend to have a much wider variety and more flavorful food. It was pretty bland for me.

I was there last night my Granddaughter got sick before we ate she had 4 pieces of watermelon and all I managed to eat before she had to go home . I was still charge full price for both of us . Never ever going back !!! read more

Rude waitress grabbed my 2nd plate of food and asked me was I done? I said no please put my food down. I was sitting and eating ice cream with my food and she said well you're eating ice cream so you must be done. It was so rude. After that interaction she ignored me the rest of the dining experience and did not replace my water or pick up any dishes. She then before I left asked for a tip very rudely. I will never come back to this place again. read more

Royal buffet, Went tonight Tuesday and the hostess wasn't very nice as I asked for seating up front because I had 2 ladies that can't walk very far and she gave me an attitude. The place seems to be going downhill because the only difference from the lunch menu is prime rib and turkey. The sushi bar wasn't filled and there wasn't shrimp as there has been in the past. There were empty trays on the food tables and refills were sparingly.went to the restroom and it was flooded and a mess, went to wash my hands and the water trickled out. The only thing positive our waitress was Very sweet and she had gotten a hefty tip. Don't think I will be returning anytime soon. read more

Disappointed. Food was overcooked, and was coated with cooking oil. Sushi area was surrounded by empty boxes. No desert area, just Ice cream cups with little wooden spoons. Dining area floors had an oily film likewise, with the table booth, flatware and dishes. Empty food boxes were stacked in dining area. Raw sewage smell coming from the bathroom drain. Just two servers for dining area. They were overwhelmed read more

Got diarrhea five minutes into my first plate of "food." This place is a horror show. Five minutes. How. read more

Royal Buffet is easy to find, being located across from the Dickson City Crossings and Home Depot. Building has plenty of parking and they have more seating than you would expect. Royal Buffet has your standard salad bar, hot items, hibachi, and desert area. They also have a Sushi bar with a surprisingly decent selection. The selection of Chinese food was not the deepest, but everything I had was good including the Chicken and Broccoli. Staff also kept everything well stocked. The Sushi bar options were tasty, but they didn't label what each roll was. Salad bar was surprisingly large with many options and the fruit on the desert area was fresh. Price was reasonable for what was offered, and the service was fine. After reading other reviews about Royal Buffet, I had some concerns, but didn't experience the issues others have. Again, it's not the deepest in terms of selection, but everything I had was tasty. read more

Good buffet with sushi and hibachi too. I miss the little baby octopus they used to serve but it is defiantly one of the better buffets in the area. read more

This place saved us from a potentially hangry night. We walked in not really knowing what to expect. Our original plans were ruined and everything around us was closing, so we were hungry and borderline moody. Anyway when we walked in we were greeted warmly. We chose to try out the buffet and even though it was near the end of their day, the items on their buffet still looked pretty appetizing and fresh. They had a wide selection of items, ranging from sushi to a salad bar, Chinese food, hibachi, desserts, fruits as well as regular pizza, burgers and fries. So whatever your mood is, they've pretty much got you covered. We chose hibachi- best decision ever. Not only is it cooked fresh in front of you, you can also choose what you want your protein to carb ratio to look like if you're into that stuff (shout out to my gym peeps). They also had sauces that you could mix and match (again, unlabeled which made it a bit difficult to choose) BUT even if you had no idea what sauce combo you wanted (like us), the food was delicious. Some things to note: 1) Not all the foods or condiments are labeled. This makes it difficult to know exactly what you're eating. This was only for a small selection of foods, but it was noticeable. 2) The buffet area isn't spacious - this causes long lines during rush hours and a lot of "excuse me." 3) Definitely do not expect a fancy or classy establishment. This is more of a "in a hurry and hungry kind of place." Besides that, the prices are reasonable for take-out. If you choose to dine-in, not sure how that works. If we decide to dine-in one day we'll make an update. All in all we'd recommend this place if you're in mixing up different styles of food. You can definitely eat healthy or really enjoy life and have all fried foods you please. read more

I honestly wasn't expecting the sushi bar to be so good!!! I wish there was a place like this near me! The staff was friendly and quick and the food was AMAZING! I will definitely come back when I'm in the area again! read more

Great bargain, tons of options. Not the cleanest place I've been but the hibachi alone is worth the price. Good kimchi too. Service is ok. Customers were a rough crowd. read more

I love this place. Only one or two times have I had a problem here out of many many times so I'd say 5% of the time I visited I've had an issue. Bathroom is clean there's always soap I love the way the hand dryer smells when you blow dry your hands. There's sanitizer everywhere they make you sanitize when you walk in. Food is delicious and the service is great. read more

Royal Buffet - Best Fortune Ever! - Buffets Near Me - Dickson City, Pennsylvania

Went about 8pm food was dry and disgusting spent 60 dollars for no one to eat selection was small I understand they close at 10 but you can't serve scraps and charge full price doesn't even deserve the 1 star and what really topped it off is the no salad dressing at salad bar just the crusty containers they are served out definitely do not recommend and definitely will not be returning read more

good food, but the waitresses get really unhappy when the don't get a 25% tip for what they do.

Haven't been here in years. Went in for lunch ($12.29) and it's still good. Seems very Covid conscious - all staff still masked and asks to hand sanitize before serving yourself (Covid aside, I like that!). One of the buffets was closed, can't recall what used to be over there I think a lot of the hot American type food, but still a lot of options. I like that there are some things a little unique from the standard Chinese food take out places. read more

used to love this place but last time i went the waitress (don't know her name but she had short black hair) gave me my check in the middle of my mean and stood there until i gave her my credit card to pay- not letting me finish my meal. Then when she came back she stood over me and watched as i filled out her tip. My bill was only 17$ since i hadn't got a drink, only water and i thought her forcing me out was rather rude so i didn't give much of a tip, this is a buffet all she did was give me a water and then was very rude. When she saw the tip i gave (about 15%) she flipped out on me in the middle of the restaurant saying stuff like "why did you only give me that, i brought you water what would you give me such a small tip" very aggressively. I kinda just looked at her in disbelief and left. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

The buffet price was amazingly cheap! Compared to New York.... When I saw the price I was in shock. The food selection is not huge, but it is enough to be satisfied. There is hibachi, sushi, Chinese food, and American food. If you don't see your usual sushi, don't worry you can ask the chef to make whatever it is that you want. The dim sum looked ehhhh.... Didn't try it because it didn't look like the usual dim sum we order from Chinese restaurants... Definitely worth a visit!! read more

Just as good as any other. The prices are fair and there are so many options that you're bound to find something you'll like. Can't really find anything to complain about here. If you don't like it then maybe Chinese buffets just aren't for you. read more

A year or so ago, was better. I mean that the food is still pretty good but the wings are smaller, the shrimps are smaller. Certainly nowhere near as good as a few other places that I regularly frequent. But for roughly $15/ person, if you're in the area and you're in the mood for Chinese, What the hell. read more

I waited for the hibachi cook for 15 minutes. Annoyed, he threw the little pieces of meet for my granddaughter on the grill and left. He never showed up again. I had to reach over and retrieve the meat myself. So I didn't leave a tip. The head waitress got in my face angrily demanding that I leave a tip. I gave $20 to the waitress who served us, and as I suspected and told them, she gave it to the boss. read more

The service, the food, and the overall vibe of this restaurant is amazing! I love this place and I always come to dine here when I travel from Texas. I would definitely recommend trying this place. read more

The servers are very mean. I did not get food but I did have a bite of my friends and got screamed at. "I eat i pay" is what I was told. I simply replied that I was just having a bite of my friends food who was paying. She continued to say I have eyes. The server also took away my plate before I was done and ate off my plate while taking it back. I questioned her about it, she lied and said that never happened. Never eat here. read more

Ok, where do I even begin... the two stars I gave were for TWO things, one, the price is 11.99 for adults and two the Chinese donuts.. otherwise, good luck finding something to eat in the entire Buffett. I can't believe this place is still always packed whenever I drive by it. The food was mediocre at best.. there are maybe two people that work there that speak English and included in my review will be photos of one of the workers sorting through green beans and cutting the ends off in the dining room during dinner time with several customers present and no water to clean them or her nasty hands everytime she walked away and came back. I even tried the pizza thinking maybe it was premade and just heated... nope. Undercooked and gross. I basically spent 11.99 on Chinese donuts they were delicious. smh. read more

First time back to this establishment in months and I have to say this will be my last. The waitress was visibly angry. Didn't greet us and threw our drinks on the table spilling them and just walked away. Just miserable the entire time and made us very uncomfortable. Food was subpar, most of it was cold and the selection was poor. Two thumbs way down. They also raised their prices. read more

A great buffet. As far as buffets go, this one is tops, can't be beat. Fresh food, well cooked, busy--so there is a steady turnover of food on the buffets, a good hibachi, and as my friends all agree--bar none the absolute best sushi you can hope to find at a buffet. Give it a whirl, the staff is really friendly as well! read more

As buffets go this is one of the best around. As servers go this was the pushiest one I've ever had. She said We have to "hurry and pay so they can turn over the table." Then she came back and put the cc receipt in front of my face and said "you have to sign here" she looked for the tip in the recite in front of me (I wrote 'cash') and she said "was everything not ok.!" A waiters should never do that, we hadn't even left yet or finished eating! Very rude! read more

I like it... we spent $40 for a family of 4 and the food was really good! I was feeling homesick for good Asian food. Living in San Francisco I took it for granted and this felt like being home for a short while.... i can't wait to come back read more

Avoid like the plague! Place not only has old dried up food but the servers feel it's necessary to hover to see the top you left. Don't even get my started on how sick I got afterwards. read more

The food was disgusting and was half way raw. The spoon and forks were rusty and weren't washed at all. The plates and ice cream bowls weren't washed well either. Half the food was cold. read more
