    Desert baklava
    Nathan L.

    This place a Houston Classic quality L.A. or the valley . Always perfect . So many options meat or vegetables drink included baklava!! Gyro you build all you can eat kabobs . Always friendly and the best buffet in town for quality. If you love Mediterranean you will be hooked

    Pink cold meatball

    Food was unfortunately not great. It was very dry and not fresh tasting. My chicken kabobs were so dry you had to take a sip of your drink or else you might choke on it going down... I bit into a meatball and it was pink and cold. I was very disappointed eating here this time of round.

    Twas a first time coming to this buffet restaurant! My friends were always talking about this place and I was finally able to make it!! Foods were fresh and delicious in my tongue I got 3 big plates and one small plate with 2 soup cups of foods I finished them up completely! Keep up the good work! The vibe of this restaurant is good and clean! Cheers

    First visit, remarkable experience. Nice rose water to clean the palate for deserts! Note: Heavy-handed with the lemon juice in the taboulé and cauliflower and over fried falafel, but helps with dipping in the great hummus. Otherwise, excellent flavors and worthy of the trip. Highly recommend, especially for vegans and vegetarians alike!

    Hello, my name is Ashley . Let's get to the review. My friend decided to take me to an early birthday dinner at this location and we went after 4 PM so the price was $25 and it does say that if you leave a lot of food on the plate they will charge you for it. We filled our plates with mostly salads and hummus and chicken and beef. Personally, I wasn't really wowed by anything. The meat was not very hot and needed to be microwaved and like I said the flavor just really wasn't there. We were more concerned with trying to finish our plates so we wouldn't get charged extra. Lol. Yes the buffet looks pretty but I've had better buffet food that had a hotter temperature than this one. This is not worth $25. I won't be going back.

    The food at Dimassi's was so fresh and clean. The fried chicken? Never judge a book by its cover. All the meat there was so juicy and full of flavor. The hummus bar was delicious lol... tamarind juice was also great , and the falafel dipped in the yogurt ; hmm hmm hmmm. I felt like I was in a comfort of eating. Rana was super great and her effort of making sure everything is put together was amazing.

    Okay, I went to two different locations, and the food was good at both locations. Also, each place is very calming and has a type of relaxed atmosphere with white and gray decor. The hosts were really nice, guiding you to hop right into the buffet line. I thought we had to be seated first and ordered drinks. I really like Dimassi's setup better than the whole sit-at-the-table waiting for someone to come along. The first location is near Katy, and the second is in North Houston. Now, I would say the baked chicken at the first location is a bit better because of the seasoning. Other than that, the food is good at both spots, and I like all the different selections of meats, veggies, soups, and salads. I had both soups, and I enjoyed each one; one was a light lentil soup, and the other was a hearty soup. The veggie selection was superb; I like the Veggie Grape Leave way too much and the different flavors of rice, too, especially the Rice with Vermicelli and Rice with Dill Weed. The Eggplant and Italian Green Beans are a favorite, too. It was the tomato-based which gave such a unique taste to those dishes. Oh, the Falafel and Zatar, indeed, were a favorite. Now, the meats, the Kafta Kabob, meatballs, and lamb shank were so good, along with the baked chicken. What I liked about the baked chicken was that there was a thin piece of crust on the edges, and the meat inside was very tender, almost falling off the bones. The marinated chicken was good, too; it was nice and crispy! Side note: you won't be embarrassed if your dishes stack up because they quickly move them off the table. I'll take more pictures next time, but this time I got caught up in eating. They even have a nice cheese and pepperoni pizza and dessert!

    My parents like this buffet, so my dad wanted to have lunch on his birthday here…read more + Pretty decent selection of food in terms of sushi and Chinese cuisine. There's dimsum, some American food, Chinese classics like kung pao, sauerkraut fish, crawfish, pineapple fried rice, and just too many to count. + Several soups to choose from, including the hot & sour soup, which was really good! + Several juices and desserts to choose from. Juices were slightly on the sweet side, and at least the rose was mixed with jasmine tea. + Sushi looked okay, good if you're okay with 'buffet' sushi. + Really good weekday lunch pricing, only $23.99 for adults! - Sauerkraut fish and the black bean spare ribs looked good but were kinda disappointing. Fish didn't have enough flavor, and the spare ribs weren't steamed long enough to be tender and 'fall apart'. - The sign mentioned milk tea, but they didn't have any. I guess they didn't update it. All in all, probably one of the best Chinese buffets in Houston! Worth trying if you're in the area.

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.

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.

    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
