    the selection is similar to other buffets. food not kept very warm. quality was not very great. one of the chicken skewers tasted off. service was good.

    Assorted sushi, fried shrimp
    Riklik A.

    When you first enter, I was thinking from the worn exterior that this might be a very sketchy place. However, it severely surprised me. First of, there are so many non vegetarian options it is impossible to not find one for you. The amount of juicy meats, different tops of meat, the different styles and ways they are prepared. The hibachi station is where they had fresh sushi that was very good. The staff are also friendly and courteous. However, there were a few negatives. The floor of the buffet is slippery in a few places. The way that raw chicken is stored at hibachi concerns me greatly as leaving it open is practically inviting salmonella. Also, the deserts. They had a chocolate fountain...and that's it. Every single other sweet was packaged. They were mediocre. Also has jelly and fruit.

    Peel and Eat Shrimp - very good

    This isn't too bad of a spot by Chinese buffet standards. It fills up quick and the fast service here keeps the food hot and fresh. We came on a weekend. The peel-and-eat shrimp stood out as did the garlic green beans. I had to get the requisite brown fried foods that you come here to scratch the itch for: dumplings, rolls, fried stuff. Not bad. The spring rolls were mushy inside which is always a turn off but the egg rolls were better. The dumplings tasted great and had that nice crisp side. The stir fry station is where it's at but I had this towards the end and was already feeling full by the time it was ready. The flavor was good and it had been expertly done. The ambiance here is nice and the place was clean. Luckily I rarely get the urge for Chinese buffet but I would come back if the urge struck.

    Just took a trip to the regal buffet. I ate fried shrimp and crab, food was well cooked but didn't burn your tounge. Wait staff was quick and efficient, got me drinks on time. Unlike other restaurants, this place does not blast music far too load. Tables give plenty of space and the overall cost was literally less then Subway. 5/5 stars. Give it a try (but don't go on a holiday like I did, place was packed.)

    This place is a hit every single visit. The staff is super friendly, the food is fresh and the pickings are plentiful! You can't miss with this place. They also have a Mongolian grill and a chocolate fountain. Thanks me later!

    Had lunch here yesterday. Nice and good location, traffic along the route is great. This place is busy on a Wednesday lunch hour. Nice and wide front entrance. Over five different sections of food stations plus a Hibachi station. Food is serve freshly cooked. I tried their Hibachi station and had a plate of shrimp, beef, chicken, eggs, veggies and egg noodle. It was well cooked but tasted bland. The Hibachi in training cook forgot to put soy sauce and condiments to my order. Lots of parking spaces. Serving staff are helpful and speak fluent English. Clean separate Men and Women's bathroom. TIP: Hot Tea is almost two dollars per person. Free refill.

    I like this restaurant, because their food is yammy. They have Mongolian grill, so you can enjoy fresh cooked Chinese food also.

    We went around 12:30pm and there were people waiting. The lady that checked us in said it was a 30…read moreminute wait with 2 parties ahead of us. As we were waiting, we noticed that 4-5 tables were done eating and paid their bills. All got up and left, the staff quickly cleaned the tables. The cleaned tables were empty for another 15 minutes. The lady that took our names down took a while to call the next customers. Seems like we were waiting just to wait...she sat one party down and waited another 10 minute to sit the next group... anyways, after we waited for a good 40 minutes, we were finally called to be seated. Sat down and was immediately served with water and took our order down. Time for the food review: Chicken popcorn - nice crisp and texture, but lacking flavor. Felt like it needed a dipping sauce. Pork lard rice - disappointing, bland Pork intestine with green mustard - this dish was okay.. Crispy garlic salted fish - fish was nicely fried and flavor was good. Probably the best dish so far Crispy pork chop - this is the reason why we came here.. we wanted to find a dish like May Ice cream. Unfortunately, this was a huge disappointment. The pork chop was extremely salted. From the skin to the pork itself. Walnut shrimp - this dish was foul. Who puts sprinkles on the side?! Tasted like I was eating an ice cream shop. The shrimp was also dry. Overall, not worth going and waiting. Food was lacking.

    FYI the old reviews are for a previous restaurant or different location, unsure. This review is for…read moreImperial Feast which opened August 2025 next to z.Tao in Plano. Came during the soft opening in September 2025 with excited expectations based on what we've heard, hoping to find a new go to Taiwanese spot. Unfortunately we didn't find what we were looking for. I admit this was the soft opening and things may improve, and for their sake I hope they do. Biggest issues for us were lack of flavor in the meat and multiple proteins being overcooked. The sauces they used had the flavor but it seems like the meat just wasn't given the time to marinate because the meat itself was bland. That coupled with proteins being a bit dry from being overcooked and you don't have a good combo. If they can tweak their prep process to let the meat marinate then it would solve most of the problems though. The best dish was the fried pork chop rice by far. A bit on the sweeter side so it just depends on how you like it. The bok choy it came with was basically raw though had more crunch than the pork chop. Service was also a mixed bag. The server was super nice and helped give us recs but it just seemed like they were still getting the hang of working in a restaurant. A glass of water got some food in it so the server took it away but they never brought us a new one. Again, soft opening so I give that some grace, but food has to be more on point for a new restaurant to make it. So all in all, there are definitely some kinks to work through for them. Normally I wouldn't write a review for soft opening but given that there are old reviews here plus food quality missed the mark more than I think it should've, I think people on Yelp should get a heads up.

    Can't say anything bad about this place. We wanted to go to Hutchins which is in the same plaza,…read morebut there was a line going out the door! So we decided to skip the heat and go to this place. It was such a lovely surprise. I opened the door and it was a lot bigger than it looks from the outside and so clean! Even the bathrooms were super clean and they have toilet seat covers! Food was also solid. We ordered a bunch of different things to share - calamari, riblets, crab rangoon, edamame, chicken XLB, truffle pork XLB, crispy udon, green beans. Everything had really excellent flavor, not too salty either. Our server was so sweet! She always said, "you're so welcome!" And she was quick to refill our drinks without us even asking. Overall, really great experience.

First, many of the dishes lacked the authenticity. The hot and sour soup wasn't sour at all and was overwhelmed by the flavor of sesame oil. The black bean noodles tasted like instant noodles you could make at home, and we ended up adding black vinegar ourselves just to bring some acidity and balance to the dish. The sweet chili shrimp also didn't taste fresh. At the end of our meal, we literally said "this tasted like Chinese buffet food." The service and dining environment made the experience even worse. Throughout our meal, we constantly heard dishes being slammed around from servers cleaning tables. At one point, something was dropped so hard that dishes shattered across the floor. A trash cart was parked right next to our booth while we were eating, and the staff even started mopping the floor directly in front of us during the lunch rush. I understand that restaurants often hire seasonal staff during the summer, but proper training is still important. The way the dishes were handled throughout our meal was loud, chaotic, and disruptive, making it difficult to enjoy our dining experience. It's unfortunate because our first experience of this restaurant was great, but this visit fell well short of our expectations.
