Royal Empire all-you-can-eat buffet — Restaurant in Dijon

ABSOLUTE MAGIC

Simply the best Asian Buffet I've ever had. This Dijon based restaurant takes it to the next level. First off the place is surgically spotless and clean. The staff are absolutely on top of their game. The selection and variety are vast and impeccably displayed. Each and every single dish is fantastically delicious. Although the varied choices reflect Chinese, some Thai and Japanese the restaurant has a Japanese foundation, which slowly reveals itself to you when you look around at the decor and art and in particular is evident via the sushi bar where the sushi is being made in real time. Eating their sushi I couldn't help but feel I had never had real sushi - it just melts in your mouth and is impossibly fresh. I'm not exaggerating about the quality of the food. I've eaten Asian buffet in countless major USA capitals and all around Europe and for me this is the best I have had and is on par with PF Chang's, if PF Chang's was a buffet style.

Hot food was average, which is still good. Salads were plentiful, and dessert was alright albeit cake dominant. Still, this place is on the better half of the Chinese buffet scene in Dijon, so it wouldn’t hurt to...

Gather, we arrived too early for our group, and the food is not fully prepared.

The staff seem not familiar with handling tour group patrons and have us the 1st group of customers to the restaurant for dinner sitted furthest away from the buffet counter.

The selection is wide, and varieties are good.

For the price, gather we can't complain but do not go with high expectations.

Remember, the drinks are not included in the buffet price, and we have to pay for the drinks separately.

There is a stir-fried counter where one can pick and choose one's own ingredients and have the chef cook for you in different sauces. There is also a hotplate style of...
