Was passing through town and went here for dinner. It was great! Food was fresh, it was steadily coming out of the kitchen. Everything was hot and tasted really good. Everything was really clean and checked on regularly. Service was nice and attentive. The restaurant really did fill up as the night went on. Definitely would recommend this restaurant! read more

This place was just down from where we stayed. The first night we passed by on our way to another place but noticed lots of cars and thought it must be good. The next day we saw lots of cars again and thought the same thing. This place was very clean and the food was fresh. You don't see many buffets with egg foo young on them. It had the gravy to add and was really good. Green beans were nice & crispy as was the crab rangoons. My only criticism would be the fish. Tasted like Mrs. Paul's. Added a little soy & hot chili oil and it worked. read more

Had dinner one night while in town, this place is busy. Its a buffet and thats what draws most of the people the night of my visit. Thats not my style, but I still wanted Chinese food something simple. So I ordered off the menu. A traditonal old school Americanized Chinese restaurant inside and out. After giving the menu a look over I decided on an order of dumplings and bowl of hot and sour soup. Both were good and prepared well. My server was professional and kind. The food hot and to order. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the option to order ala cart 01023 read more

Stopped in for lunch the restaurant was clean but very dated and the food was mediocre at best I dont expect alot out of a buffet and it was just meh...I wouldn't return read more

While traveling to Roanoke I was staying across the street from Red Palace Restaurant. I was hesitant about eating off the buffet. My server encouraged me to try it. They do have a large selection to choose from. I tried a little bit of everything. The hot and sour soup was good. In my opinion, I should have ordered off the menu. Buffets are greasy and not full of flavor. It's a popular restaurant but just not a good choice for me. read more

Wish they would add more to the buffet and also put more seafood and a certain mushroom dish,

Very nice staff and very tentative- plenty of variety and my wife really liked the muscles.... I don't do fish or seafood but there were plenty of other options... if you leave here hungry - it's your fault !! Definitely recommend it- check them out read more

Meh. It's okay. The servers were nice and made sure we had drinks. The space (including bathroom) was dated but clean. The food was okay. It was pretty bland. There was a decent variety on the buffet but nothing really special. The salad bar left a lot to be desired. I wouldn't make an effort to return but if friends were going I wouldn't refuse to return. read more

We were staying overnight close to the airport after a quick weekend and needed dinner. The receptionist at the hotel told us she had many people tell her the restaurant across the street (literally walked over) was actually quite a good buffet. I'll start with the fact that there was hand sanitizer at every end of each buffet table! The waitstaff was very kind and extremely attentive to any needs we had. The food was quite good and the variety was outstanding. Also very impressive was the constant attention by the staff to freshen food and check in trays. It was so good and such a beautifully decorated dining room and entryway. It was peaceful as we ate, and so so enjoyable. We would happily eat here anytime! read more

Great food. Great people. Great price. What else do you need at a no frills Chinese buffet? We go at least once a month! Highlights: coconut shrimp, honey chicken read more

The food was delicious and the service was excellent! All of the food on the buffet was fresh. It wasn't crowded and the music was at a reasonable level. Loved the overall ambience and vibe. read more

Good food and lots of it. We had carry out and our meal was ready to go. Go here and enjoy

Once the best Chinese food in Roanoke is now horrible. we hadn't been in a while but we went Tuesday night 8/25 & the food quality was horrible! For 3 it was almost $70 for the buffet/drinks & we tried every chicken item there, it was all very hard/dry & seemed like pork or something other than chicken. extremely disappointed & won't go back! read more

I have generally enjoyed Red Palace as long as I don't have any interaction with management. I just recently started coming back to Red Palace a few weeks ago and felt comfortable being there again. Until I found a bug in my food. This most recent visit I had a big part of a bug roll out of the yellow noodles onto my fork. I didn't want to disturb any of the other customers so I discreetly brought it to the staff's attention and recommended they change out the pan. Even after quietly explaining that there was half of a dead grub or caterpillar on my plate and that the other half might still be in the pan of noodles at the hot bar, they charged me for my food, even though I lost my appetite pretty soon after arriving. In late 2021 I stopped going to Red Palace after I was aggressively confronted by a manager after taking off my mask to eat. 3 years passed before I felt comfortable going back and giving it another try. Management really needs to learn how to care for their customers. read more

Hands down a loyal favorite - been coming here for years and consistently blown away by the amazing food and top-notch service!

The look is standard Chinese, nothing special. We have been several times, during lunch, early and late. Every time, the food has been overcooked. Dumplings have very dry, overdone meat. General Tso's chicken was so overdone, the meat was hard. The only dish which was edible was the beef and broccoli. However, the service was great! Very polite and attentive to detail. Drinks were quickly refilled, used plates immediately removed. read more

I really liked the buffet lunch. The staff were friendly. There were a lot of items to choose from, and the food tasted wonderful.

The food was really good! The service was ok we didn't see much of the waiter but that's pretty normal for a buffet I suppose! Would definitely eat here again was very clean and very nice! read more

I have always loved Red Palace, but the last two times we've been there have been disappointing. The dumplings were dry, and the filling was overdone. The cheese wontons were dry inside. Tasted like it was made early in the day and just sat in warming trays. Beef and broccoli also tasted overdone. Not sure what has happened... read more

This place is great for a Chinese buffet. I did not explore their traditional menu options, but the all you can eat option is cheap and everything I tried was delicious. Usually I stay away from buffets but this place had great reviews compared to what I've seen. The service was great. I got there a little late asked if I was still able to do the buffet, if not I'd just take a normal menu. He kindly let me in to eat until the staff started cleaning up. It turned out to be a good while. My friend who I traveled here to Roanoke with showed up late and was still able to get the buffet deal. Since I came close to the end of the buffet, some options were a little low. But there were more than enough crab rangoons, fried rice, and fried shrimp. I got the last of the lo mein. I don't have a complaint about anything! For $12.99 to be able to eat all my favs, this place is great! Usually my smorgasbord from takeout Chinese costs me about $50. It is more food that way, of course, but sometimes you just want one meal. Typically, buffet food is low quality. But I see why this place had good reviews. Great food, great price, and wonderful service with a big smile. Seriously, the server was the best! Once they were about to clean up, he triple checked we didn't want anymore food. I of course made sure to tip well in case we were an inconvenience at all. I'll have to come back here for the dinner buffet next time I'm in town!! read more

I called in an order in and when I went to pick it up, I was surprised at how clean the place was and it was decorated very nice. The food was very good and whenever I am in the area I definitely will be eating there, next time I will dine in. They have all you can eat which I didn't know until I picked up my order. read more

This place put our local restaurant to shame. It was really good. The orange chicken wings were my favorite but everything was good. We always go for the salad and fruit first and I will say they could have had more types of lettuce available. Torn up a bit more. The dishes were numerous to choose from. Lots of desserts also. Why doesn't anyone offer almond cookies anymore?! Week vacation went back twice. So yea, if we lived there we'd be back. read more

Chinese food has always been one of my favorites, yet it is not everywhere you can find a restaurant with a great selection of quality Chinese food cooked right and serve as fresh as could be. The Red Palace is just that kind of place. Not the majestic architecture of the restaurant building, nor the elegant and impressive entrance statues and decoration, nor even the great selection of items in the buffet menu, could compare to the satisfaction I experienced by eating the first bite of the food I had served myself from the buffet. It was chicken on a stick. The quality of the chicken was superb, cooked just right, and served fresh. It krackled to the bite and was juicy and tasty inside. What a wonderful dining experience! The other food selection was the same quality and taste. The Red Palace really makes the grade. If you're up for a great dining experience. The Red Palace is the place to go. read more

Good was great. My husband doesn't really like any Asian food and he really enjoyed all of the choices given. My three year old loved the chicken. Service was good even with us getting there right before the rush started. It was a nice restaurant. My only complaint is the bathrooms smelled strongly of urine. read more

Food was typical for Chinese Buffet, but there were far more choices than your usual Chinese Buffet. I had poached salmon (along with a lot of other things) it was great! I didn't go for the crayfish, though they looked really good. My partner loved everything he had. Salad bar and dessert bars were more varied than most. Service was swift and attentive - very friendly. Ambiance was good enough. No great shakes, but clean, comfortable, and quiet enough for easy conversation. read more

I'm from Illinois, picking up a big truck in town tomorrow. My plane got in later tonight. This place down the street from my hotel. 8:50 pm. So hungry. Walked in, place closed at 9. I asked for a go bucket? They were so nice- so gracious. They were beginning to tear down the buffet. They allowed me to gawk for a minute. The nice lady pointed at the pork ribs that were left. Against my better judgement I grabbed them along with poundage of other favorite staples. They don't weigh your bucket here like most. Same price as the buffet if you can fit it in the bucket. I had a pile now, and the nice man helped me pin the lid shut with a big fatass rubber band while I used my basic strength pushing on the lid to hold it all in there. It was 9 pm. Food had been out a while. Anyone would agree that's not the nest time for the dishes to be showing their best. I didn't care. Hotel room. I scarfed, and gnawed and chewed on my pike for like 30 minutes. I was so stuffed. I just woke up and discovered my tongue slathering up and down the pork ribs to get every last drop of that fantastic sauce they use on the ribs. It was dark, Smokey, sweet, PERFECTLY VIRGINIA. It was all so delicious. Thank you guys for getting a hungry customer filled back up. I was pretty shocked at the price as well. Very reasonable. I live in IL. Probably won't get back through- I would love to go there at 4 pm when it's all fresh out of the ovens. NICE JOB! read more

A family favorite! There is something for everyone at Red Palace. Food is excellent, fresh, and plentiful. Staff are attentive and extremely courteous. Excellent dining area with eastern flair. Highly recommended! read more

How is this place open !? Tough, gristly meat in either greasy gravies or syrupy sauces, often ketchup based. So.. Vegetables way to go, except no one here eats them so how old are they ? Frankly I found most of the clientele a bit sketchy too Building looks impressive. but has not been updated or frankly, maintained, for decades. Exper leaves bad impression ! Food leaves a bad taste !! read more

This is a wonderful option in this area if you have the urge for some good Chinese food. It is Americanized Chinese food, but quite a welcome establishment in this shopping area when you are hungry and looking for a good deal on a meal. The buffet is now open and serving the usual great food you would expect from this place. They are an institution on this area when it comes to Chinese food. All of the locals know of this place when it come to Chinese food. They have other locations in the area as well. If you are not in the mood for buffet, they also have dine-in menu options for you to choose from. They charge $12.99 for the buffet. While most of the food is in line with what you would find at most Chinese buffet places, I do look forward to enjoying the crawfish and the coconut shrimp. There are quite a few good food options in this area, but this is the best option for a good deal when you are looking for Chinese food. Try it out!! read more

More flavorful than most Chinese buffets that I've been to. In town for the weekend & this was within walking distance. Not a massive selection of tasteless garbage but a limited selection of tasteful inexpensive food! Everything I tried IMO was flavorful & fresh. The salmon wasn't over cooked and melted in my mouth. The hot & sour soup had the right amount of sourness. Nothing was bland. Nothing was luke-warm. My water stayed filled and my dirty dishes were quickly cleared. No complaints here! Can't beat $11.99 for a dinner buffet. Where I come from, a Chinese Dinner buffet is easily $20. $11.99 to me was like hitting the jackpot! (Visit was during April 2018) read more

Food was not as good as it use to be. It probably wasn't just me thinking that, the parking lot was pretty much empty at 12:00.

Very disappointed that the buffet food gives the shit runs being so greasy, not enough selection, high price for this experience,

"Stay here, enjoy the Crab Rangoon, don't move, I'll be right back". Well I enjoyed the crab Rangoon. After me and the dr. Left the mall we decided to stop at red palace for a bite to eat. I was surprised to find that the place had not been touched by time since the last time I was there a trillion years ago. It' was pretty bussin. Also our server was a master of his craft, probably one of the best in the business read more

Best Chinese food I have had in a long time. Everything was fresh, hot and flavored perfectly. I wish I lived closer. I will definitely make the hour drive for food this good! read more

This place was scary at first then I realized I was in Far Cry 4. The honey mustard was awesome and the service was freaky fast!

A good place to eat buffet style Chinese food. Servers and hosts are very friendly, a good selection on the buffet also. Clean throughout the restaurant and spacious seating. Definitely recommend to eat as one of the Chinese buffets in the valley. read more

Excellent buffet! Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was good. I'll definitely go back!

The food was good and the amount you get for the price was good.. Haven't had the buffet but will be giving it a try
