Restaurant Royal Châtelaine-Vernier 皇家 — Restaurant in Vernier

We had a very pleasant dining experience at Royal - Asian Cuisine, a modern Asian restaurant that combines the convenience of an all-you-can-eat concept with the comfort of table service. We went there for dinner with a group of friends and were genuinely impressed by the overall quality of both the food and the service.

Despite being an all-you-can-eat format, each dish is freshly prepared and brought to the table, which makes the experience feel far more refined than a typical buffet. The menu offers an extensive selection of sushi, sashimi, and various seafood options, along with grilled meats such as beef, chicken, and duck prepared in different Asian styles. The sushi was particularly well-balanced—rice with the right texture, fresh fish, and clean presentation. The hot dishes arrived promptly and at the right temperature, with flavors that ranged from delicately spiced to rich and savory.

Service was another highlight. The staff were attentive and efficient without being intrusive, and orders were taken and delivered quickly even though the restaurant was fairly busy. It’s clear that the team is well-organized and focused on maintaining a smooth dining flow.

The restaurant is located in a newly developed neighborhood, which gives it a clean and contemporary atmosphere. The interior design is minimalist and comfortable, though perhaps lacking in distinctive character—it feels functional rather than memorable. Still, the space is well-lit, tables are well-spaced, and the ambiance remains relaxed, making it an ideal place for casual dinners with friends or family.

Overall, Royal delivers excellent value for money. The combination of quality food, efficient service, and a comfortable setting makes it well worth a visit—especially if you enjoy Asian cuisine and want a balance between variety...

To be honest I was very excited about visiting and I booked like two weeks pre ahead due to an instagram influencer post. The place is pretty, some of the staff were super nice but most them barely spoke english which I thought was weird as this place would be great for tourists. Most of the food was tasty 8/10, the fries were too salty and some fish ingredients had crunchy crust which felt very weird. The ingredients mentioned in the tablet are not precise, we took a fried chicken thingy but when we did cut it open it had green stuff that were never mentioned in the list of ingredients, this should not be the case especially for people with allergies even if they announce them from the start. No where on the website does it mention that if you dont eat something you pay extra, and there were some stuff that we tried and did not like like the very salty fries and we said that to the guy that came to dispose them, and there was this manager who was very rude and threatening to charge us extra, and then he said as an exception we will not do it. It was very rude as a behaviour especially as this rule was no where written and for us it just made the experience bad. We have been to different buffets before and we were treated much better, we also got enough time to prepare our next order, as in this place after you send the first one, you wait 15 min until it comes and then you are allowed to compose the next one. So technically you are limited by time a lot and you are under stress, what can be adjusted is to actually allow the people to prepare the order and then send it after the 15...

This is a good place if you’re staying nearby and you have a craving for Asian food. They’re in small dishes, so you can try different dishes without breaking the bank since it’s a fixed price with all you can eat. However, options are limited and the taste is lacking if you’ve eaten good Asian food. Even worse and even smaller options for those with peanut allergy. When you use their peanut allergy filter, it takes out a lot of options. Even French fries became off the table.

Xiao long bao or soup dumpling was not a soup dumpling at all. There was no soup and the skin was very thick. It was almost a “bao” skin rather than a dumpling skin.

The panfried beef was okay but the texture was kind of chewy and for whatever reason they threw crushed peanuts all over it.

Fried rice lacked flavor.

I recommend getting the French beef and squirting the lemon all over it and then pour the meat sauce from this into rice.

I did like the tempura and Chinese garlic vegetables.

Sushi flavor wasn’t right and had a lot of rice.

I liked the flambé salmon chef special.

At the price point, you could get much better all you can eat in Las Vegas, but of course you’re not really at a place known for gastronomy.

They did play classic popular Chinese songs. They also had a lot of French waiters I could barely understand their English, but of course that’s my problem for going to...
