    I wanted hibachi. Husband wanted Mexican. My son is on a self-induced sad beige diet (toddler moms: IYKYK.). We somehow settled on Texas Buffet. It took over the old Golden Corral building & pretty much what another reviewer said: it is a Chinese buffet. There's sushi, salad bar, soups, hibachi, a nice dessert selection, sad beige diet foods (pizza, chicken nuggets, rice, French fries) and a seafood lover's dream that would make Bubba Gump happy: crab legs on Saturday, crab cakes, seafood mix, crawfish, mussels, cold shrimp, hot shrimp, and of course your Chinese food selections. I thought it was pretty busy. We aren't big buffet eaters so I kind of was hoping of *some* Texas comfort foods like bbq, meat loaf, mashed potatoes, tamales, enchiladas since Texas Buffet... Texan foods? Am I reaching? Maybe. The price was decent for Saturday. Food was decently fine for buffet. I give 3 stars. I am giving 4 stars though because we had an extremely embarrassing mishap with our son that required us to leave abruptly. Our sweet table waitress took over with the sweetest energy & urgency so we could tend to our son outside. If you were eating nearby us & saw, I'm sorry. To our sweet waitress, thank you and I'm still so sorry!

    Wonderful buffet with lots of choices! I really liked the sushi, seafood and hibachi. Prices are reasonable and differ from the weekend and lunch & dinner. The restaurant is pretty clean and customer service is excellent. Our dirty plates were picked up consistently and drinks were refilled when we asked. I would recommend this place!

    Let's get it right, this is a Chinese Buffet with a Hibachi grill which is cool. The grand opening was yesterday so I am still giving it a chance. There are several options to choose from. Mind you we just had a Hurricane so we will see how it goes. The service is great and they are quick to clear. But this place still gives me Golden Corral vibes.

    See all

    Didn't open on time for lunch. Many of the buffet items were not readily available. Mexican food was pretty good for an Asian restaurant.

The quality of the food was better than most Chinese buffets, and they had a lot of variety. I wouldn't expect this gem way over here, especially with a crazy Ross store nearby. I think the location and it being far away are the only real knocks on this place. The patrons were friendly. The staff was very considerate, and the food was delicious. It was so delicious, due to the quality, you really could be full after a second or third round, unlike other restaurants with cheaper food quality, and you find yourself eating several plates just to feel full. While I'm not in this part of town often, I would happily go back.

I was running errands nearby, craving American Chinese, and mostly never know what to order as one person who wants to eat family style. Nowadays, I have a client near E-Star. Omgoodness. Every week I want to eat there but I'm only 5'4"! Not enough basic human body real estate to distribute all that guilty pleasure. So many things made to tasty levels and textures. My non-Asian surrogate mom loves this place too. She elects it for special occasions because she gets cravings for Chinese food too. Cleanliness, presentation, and ambiance is consistently good. Service is okay enough. Never insulting, or discombobulating.

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
