Asian buffet and grill, a little bit better quality than usual for such places. Has a sushi bar and grill to go along with the buffet. Staff was friendly and attentive.

We really like this place to come and have a meal with family when you don't feel like cooking and have a gang to feed. They have both booths and tables. There are many choices and we all have favorites among them. The egg drop and hot and sour soups are good. Fresh made sushi is available, as well as a grill where they will cook up the items you choose. It is a little bit pricey, but not too crazy. Handicap accessablity is a plus for our group.

This has been a favorite of my families' eating places in Lafayette for years. Rated #2. The staff has been in place for years so the consistency is tremendous‼

We came here about 2 years ago and were not impressed. We gave it another try today and were pleasantly surprised. They have redone the whole buffet with fresh food. Sushi is good. Good mix of both Chinese and American. And, my personal measuring stick is the crab Rangoon which are a thumbs up here. A little pricey for Lafayette at $12.99 for lunch, but it was worth an early Saturday fill up.

Been a few years and found myself back at the Royal. The food quality is still outstanding. I still would not dare try sushi at a buffet. The dumplings were excellent. I ate a lot of broccoli from the beef/broccoli. Great sauce. All the various breaded chicken (rose, general, salt&pepper) were delicious in their own ways. Egg rolls still very good. Not the prettiest place, but if you care only about good quality American-Chinese food, this is a great spot.
