I went to this restaurant with my 10-year-old daughter this past April 17, 2026. I informed the hostess who led us to our table that my daughter was 10 years old, as there was a $6 difference between the adult and child admission prices. ​The employee then responded in a very bold and disrespectful manner, stating in front of my daughter that she couldn't be 10 because she had 'large breasts,' all while staring directly at my daughter's chest. This made my daughter so uncomfortable that she had to turn away to avoid her gaze. I didn't even stay at the restaurant after such a lack of respect, which left my daughter in tears and feeling insecure. read more

We didn't expect much because this was the only place we found nearby that was open on July 4th, but it turned out to be not too bad for the price. There was enough variety (sushi, italian and asian-style hot dishes, salad, fruits, etc.), and while everything was pretty mediocre, we were hungry, so it sufficed for us. There was a lot of sushi, but all the rolls were pretty simple (the filling for most of the rolls were one of cream cheese, crabmeat, and some tempura) and had a lot of rice. I wish that they displayed the ingredients in their sushi and dishes though -- they were only labeled vague names like "Beauty Roll" or "Dynamite Roll." I thought the meats were cooked pretty well -- at least the ones I tried (Thai Chicken, Pork Chop), and I also liked the asian-styled Mixed Vegetables. They had a whole section of fried foods, which I didn't try. The Lo Mein (noodles) were bland, and the fried dumplings weren't that great (the dough was waay too tough). The quality of the meal really depends on the timing. When we got there, a lot of the dishes were looking that they had been sitting out for a while (the pizza looked cold and dry, there wasn't a lot of food left in the tins, etc.), but it all looked a lot better and appetizing when they brought out the newly-cooked food, obviously. We got there at about 3:30pm, which was a weird time, and they "restocked" probably around 4pm. I'm not sure how frequently they restock, but it seemed like they do it at a good cadence. read more

Royal House Buffet - a large plate of food - Buffets Near Me - Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

Food was fantastic especially the hibachi station that cook does very well, table service was a little sluggish on the refills and unexpectedly near the end of our experience our server essentially stood by and watched as I filled out my receipt and after reviewing the receipt she asked us if we would leave a tip.......i kind of found it out of line because if the service warranted a tip then a tip would have been left, if the service was sub par I would not see why a tip would be given. read more

Follow up as this is still a place we visit when in our hometown. I'd still give it a five star review as options on food choices is great and prices have stayed reasonable but food quality has shifted a bit and some visits haven't been the best since my original review. Taking off a star for that. We did just try take out by weight and since I had my daughter add two pieces of California roll to her container we got charged a higher per lb fee... that kinda sucked but it is what it is. read more

BEST CHINESE BUFFET IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!! Service is as you'd expect at a buffet. They're quick and don't let your plates pile up. I loved the way the place was decorated and the highlight of everything of course was the food. You HAVE to try the fried calamari, I've never had anything like it. Easily the best calamari I've had in my life. A little salty, but I don't care it was so good. Same with the general tso's chicken. I was thrown off at first since it wasn't the signature orange sauce you usually see with general tso's chicken but OH MY GOD! MIND BLOWING!!!! I never get chicken and broccoli at chinese buffets but my brother said it wasn't the best There are definitely good dishes to pick from, though! Just walk around and take your pick read more

Amazing food. Tried several different items and they were all delicious. I've never been to a buffet with better food. The staff was some of the most friendly ones I've ever had. All were knowledgeable about the food and restaurant. There was abundant seating, room to maneuver and great lighting. Can't wait to go back. read more

Like most buffets, this one started up fine years ago. I keep going back thinking maybe it will get better again but today was an all time low. All of the staff except for the waitresses are completely uninspired. The food has gone to the wayside. The noodles are unflavored, the teriyaki chicken was fried to death, even the rice in the sushi was crunchy. The nail in the coffin to me was mashed potatoes in the crab Rangoon. So sad. read more

One of the best Chinese Buffets I've been to in a long time. Went on a Sunday afternoon and everything was perfect. So much sushi and other items. I wish there was something as good as this place near me in Kentucky. read more

Best buffet ever. Great, quick service with drinks and plate clearings. Delicious food!

Out of town... wanted something different.. I should have listened to the other negative reviews.. even the items I found ok still had no taste at all.. roasted pork, egg rolls and ice cream were the other thing that tasted decent.. even the salad tasted different and not fresh , I've def had worse.. but for $20 I would want better tasting read more

Food is typically sub par at best, very cold a lot of the time. Staff is rather rude and does not make you feel very welcomed. All around not the best spot other than if you're looking for a quick and cheap option. read more

The food quality rivals and even exceeds most local Chinese food restaurants. They have sushi and probably my favorite general Tso's sauce, which makes this a go to Chinese place for me. The service is exceptional and the staff is always very attentive to the customers. The actual buffet area is very clean and well organized, with staff frequently swapping out the food trays for fresh and delicious food. It can get very busy at times, but despite this I always have a great experience. read more

I guess if you are desperate this place will have to do since I think it's the only Chinese buffet in the area now. But, I find their selection limited, far too much non-Asian food, not enough variety of even the usual Asian foods you'd expect. Things are often empty. The inside doesn't feel super clean to me. They do offer sushi which I guess is a bonus though it totally lacks for flavor and all the fish to me seems to have that weird brighter than expected color. I'd always pass this place up if the kids didn't like going here... read more

First I want to say that I saw a roach crawling on tv wall. Yes a roach. I was so disgusted I could not finish my food. I have not been back since read more

Terrible, went yesterday, over priced food was cold, tasteless, and many dishes dried out. Went there before but I will never go again! They said increase price for seafood, all they had was large claims tiny shrimp cocktail, crawdads.​ read more

A very lovely buffet with lots of different choices of food which was very delicious and labeled accordingly. I highly recommend the sushi station. All of the items were labeled accordingly and was very fresh. This facility is very clean, the bathrooms maintained properly, all areas cleaned and sanitized properly. You will have a delicious meal at a very affordable price. read more

Really nice hibachi buffet located at Wyoming Valley Mall. We stopped by for lunch as we were in the area for the day. They had all the standard buffet selections and I really liked that they had steak, chicken, and shrimp on skewers at the hibachi section... they had nice fresh sushi selections and some delicious Kani salad. They also had a nice array or desserts including a chocolate fountain. Definitely something for everyone... I would definitely return. read more

Royal House Buffet is located at the Wyoming Valley Mall near Macy's, with both internal and external Mall entrances. Buffet is large and modern with plenty of seating, even at lunch they were nowhere close to being full. Setup could be better as it felt crowed at the buffet, and you almost had to step over people to access some of the serving tables. Standard Chinese buffet options were good with a large selection and many western options. I personally enjoyed the Mushrooms and Pork. The salad bar was large and well stocked. Desert options included hard ice cream, fruit, and baked items. Non-standard buffet options included a dim sum bar, fresh sushi, and hibachi selections. I found the sushi to be fair for the most part, with tasty spicy options. The lunch buffet was fine for what I paid, it was less than $12 for the meal, beverage, and tip. Overall, this is a good buffet for what it offers. read more

I love a Chinese buffet. If there is one in a town I've stopped at while traveling, you can bet I'll go check it out. Thus I was very excited to try Royal House Buffet in Wilkes-Barre. I went on a Saturday night around 7:30 and the place was busy but this restaurant is HUGE and easily accommodated everyone. This buffet had just about every typical Chinese buffet dish you could think of plus more. It also boasted the largest selection of sushi and other East Asian cuisine I've ever seen at a Chinese buffet. The staff was attentive, always refilling my drink and clearing empty plates. I was very impressed by Royal House Buffet and I definitely plan to stop by again the next time I'm in Wilkes-Barre, PA. read more

I like a good Chinese buffet. And Royal House, which is located in the Wyoming Valley Mall, is a good one. Plenty of seating, plenty of room between the steam tables, and lots and lots of fresh food. We ended up taking a very late lunch, so when we arrived at 2:00 PM I had a low expectation. Nope, that's nonsense. Royal House still had quite a few people eating and the tables were well taken care of. The hot tables were fresh and clean, the food did not look dried out at all. The usual chicken and beef and pork with different varieties of vegetables and sauces. Noodles and rice offerings and a couple of soups. Dumplings, both steamed at fried. And the expected non-Chinese food items for those who don't like Asian food, including pizza and chicken wings and such. There is a separate sushi bar and the chef was constantly at work adding fresh plates of sushi, sashimi and various maki rolls. I stuck mostly with the sushi stuffs and it was all very good. Great options, well taken care of. It's a Chinese buffet and it's a very good one. Possibly the best in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. Therefore, it is well deserving of the five star rating. read more

50% very bad American food, 50% fried Chinese style food covered with sugary sauces, greasy noodles and fried rice, and a salad bar with a bigger variety of dressing than vegetable. The fresh fruits were orange slices, out-of-season melon (tasted like cucumber) and canned mandarin slices. 5 varieties of tiny cakes. Hands down worst variety I have ever seen on a buffet. I am not exaggerating when I say that the hot buffet was at the very least half American food, chicken nuggets, pizza, french fries, mac n' cheese, garlic bread, and they didn't even have the good sense to put that all on the same island, it was mixed in with with the rest of it. I really only went for sushi and I was very displeased. Everything was a California roll with a different garnish. Some had mayonnaise, some were fried, some had spicy tuna mush, but at the end of the day everything was a California roll. There was only one variety with solid fresh fish, a salmon roll barely colored with slivers of salmon. It was all beautifully laid out and looked like a nice sushi buffet but that's all it had going for it. When I saw the imitation crab *NIGIRI* I just about died laughing. Service was fine. (minimal interaction, no personality, pay us get out.) Lunch was 10 bucks but I hardly call it a value. If you want food, find a restaurant. This is a pig-trough. read more

Despite negative reviews, we decided to try out for dinner, 11.99 per person, and drink was 1.99 When i asked for the price on the phone , they said without drink 11.99 , with the drink 12.99. But After they charged us (party of 4) i found that they charged 1.99 for the drink. Well. I didnt make a fuss about it. Overall, not bad for the price read more

This is your very typical Chinese buffet. A decent selection of items but not that tasty. Most of the breaded items were more bread than meat. The sushi was okay for a buffet. The price was quite steep $19 and change for one person and a drink. I gave her $25 she said thank you and left never brought my change. Almost $6 tip is a little over the top for a buffet, but I let her keep it anyway. But I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

Great sushi choices. This buffet is hit or miss. 10% you'll be happy. 90% you'll spit the food out and have slimy hands. Very low class staff. read more

I go here with my hubby quite often for date night because its what we can afford. The food is edible. The main problem is that the staff expect a tip. I understand that you tip at restaurants but their customer service is almost non-existent every time i go there. They wait around and watch you to pick up your plate the moment you put down the utensil. At least once a trip I use the restroom and leave half a plate of food that im not done with yet and come back to it gone. If they were to spend more time like a normal restaurant does and ask is the food good or if there is anything else they can get you a couple times during your meal i would tip. But the staff leave you to fend for yourself and if you need anything, you have to seek them out. read more

I wasn't expecting much when I first got to the place it wasn't bad but the waitresses kept coming up to me like 10 minutes into being in there with the check asking if we were finished. Was only on my 6th plate not even close to finish. My buddy got sick after eating some sus rolls. And threw up 4 of the 10 plates he ate. Overall it was good not for him though. read more

Your typical Chinese buffet. Good selection of food. The quality is the same as you'd expect anywhere else. Of course it's not going to be as good as somewhere that you order off of a menu, but it's 100% better than takeout. You can't ever go wrong at a buffet. There will always be at least a plate full of things that you'll like. Just try a small portion before you fill your entire plate. read more

YUCK YUCK YUCK! The food here used to be very good. I was there a week ago with two others and the food was absolutely horrible. Greasy. And the cost of the meal was $14.99. There was nothing special on the Buffay such as seafood or prime meats or specialty dishes to substantiate such a high price! We took a bite of this and a bite of that and for the most part I threw it all away. What a waste of money and time. Do yourself a favor and stay the hell away from this place! The best thing I had was chocolate ice cream and salad. What a huge disappointment!!! I will never eat here again. read more

Royal House Buffet - Sushi and Selection! - Buffets Near Me - Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

The good news is there's a huge selection of food, the bad news is none of the food is too good... I reviewed everything as I ate it and is as followed : The Mongolian beef sucked, beef and peppers wasn't good either. The fried rice was too soggy. The pan fried wontons and steamed wontons weren't too flavorful. The Hawaiian chicken wasn't seasoned enough. The LO mien is good, and the brown rice is ok. The chicken and broccoli is average, the chicken seemed a lil soggy. The teriyaki beef is nice and tender, And the Korean chicken is good. The general tsos has good flavor but the breading is soggy. The sausage was good, the bone less ribs are OK. The wonton soup is good. For dessert the coconut cake is very good and the vanilla and chocolate pudding was good, The Cantaloupe was hard as a rock and not sweet, and There's a nice selection of hard self serve ice cream... read more

This is my favorite place to eat in the whole world. Period. Good thing I live 15 miles away or I could be eating here almost every day! Get there before 3:30 PM and it's considered lunch, not dinner, so about $8 or $9 with tax for an amazing selection. For dinner, add about $3 or so more. My personal favorite is pepper steak, white rice, lo mein, chicken soup (add rice, scallion, crunchy noodles), fried shrimp, and more. Lots of other meats, chicken, sea food, pasta-based or vegetable-based products, desserts, cakes, ice cream, although drinks are $2 extra. Depending on how you count, there are probably about a hundred choices. In my mind, for a huge, almost unlimited buffet like this, it would be worth it even for $12 or $15 - but don't tell the owners or they'll raise the prices! read more

Always the best selection and the hibachi grill always comes out perfect. 5 stars here. read more

Royal House Buffet - Hibachi! - Buffets Near Me - Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

I have mixed feeling about this place. On the one hand, I LOVE THE FOOD. On the other hand, I ALWAYS get sick after eating here LOL. The sushi selection is vast. It is always super fresh and delicious. I also love the fried rice and the make your own noodle area! However, the wait is sometimes too long. The dessert selection is lacking a bit, but there is ice cream, so I am always content! The waiters are slow, but what can you expect from a buffet. Overall, there is a HUGE selection and everyone will leave happy and full. I will continue coming back in the hopes that the sickness is a coincidence haha. read more
