My family, friends and I have been to this place many times. We always get food here for family gatherings and parties. The family who owns this restaurant is really nice and provided me with great service.

My first time here just because I was hungry and it was right there....and what a nice little surprise. The food was quite good and the proportion was very generous. The buffet was still closed so I had a takeout. I like how they prepared their fried rice; it's a certain Chinese style which I like.
The chicken meat balls had too much batter, but the meat in the rice and noodles are healthy portions. You WILL get enough protein here.
I like how they still put their takeout food in aluminum containers which kept the food warm for a long time. I am coming back to this place and I hope their buffet

This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant because of the large portions and reasonable prices. However the quality of the food has gone downhill in the last year. The soup tastes watered down. Watch out as the egg rolls and spring rolls are extremely greasy and there is too much salt in the food across the board. I used to order from them once a week but have stopped. Sadly I will not be in a rush to go back.

Pre pandemic I loved going for their buffet. Yummy and affordable.
Since the pandemic, they have been my go to place for restaurant food. I order from them every week, and I have never had a bad experience.
I love their General Tao, and chicken fried rice!
It's great to see a family owned and operated business still running when so many others have fallen.

Smaller buffet overall but still a good selection. I think about 20 items, plus small salad bar, soup and dessert. Overall good food. Very friendly service.
They're constantly refilling items. Everything I had was fresh and hot and tasted good.

Summary: Not spectacular.
We visited Royal City on a Thursday night after 8PM for some takeaway.
The very large restaurant was mostly empty and the buffet had already been shut down for the day.
Unlike our experiences at other Chinese food restaurants here in Guelph, ordering a few small items required an explanation of veganism and explicit details about the requirement of a lack of animal products and oyster or fish sauce.
After the explanation, and asking what was suitable for us, or what could be modified we were left with the impression that there was not a lot on the menu for us, and
