Regal Buffet — Restaurant in Muhlenberg Township

My family & I have been coming here for dinners for many, many years. All the way back to when it was called Jumbo Buffet! Every year since I was very young, I’ve been coming here to have my birthday dinner. Honestly, they should have a Sushi Roll named after me at this point! (😂)

On my birthdays, I always look forward to getting a cake & Happy Birthday sung to me. After stuffing my face with tons of Coconut Shrimp, Crab Casserole & Sushi, of course! Which — are all of my favorite foods from this place.

I’ve only ever had maybe 2-3 times where the visit was less than ideal, however, they typically make it back up to you by giving you a discount on your check — which is NOT cheap, unfortunately! But, it’s well worth it. Especially if you’re an avid Chinese food/Sushi eater, then you can for sure get your moneys worth!

They have a good 5-7 Sushi rolls out at a time & many different food items to choose from; including an ‘American’ section ideal for children who aren’t all about Chinese or Sushi.

The food is normally all very good! They’ve definitely stepped up their game in switching out the items when they get low or have been sitting out for too long. But, the best chances for that is if you go either during lunch hours or at a decent time for dinner — if you show up an hour or two before they close, chances are the food won’t be switched out as often or at all & it’ll most likely be cold or just not as great as it usually is.

One solid complaint, which happens every time we go, is expect the ‘waiters’ to hover over you after you receive your check as they are awaiting a tip. - of course, they always receive one, but it all depends on how their hospitality was. Some days they’ll be very on top of taking your finished dishes or offering refills (THAT is when they get a great tip), but other times your dishes will pile up & you’ll be offered a refill maybe once. Regardless, they’ll stand over you & ask you for the tip — they make SURE you know where the tip line is too.

They also offer take-out of the buffets selection! In my experience, if you have the time & are able, just choose the Dine In option as the Take Out price came out to be more than what dining in costs - & for less than what you can eat if you dined in. (the prices go by weight of your take out & sushi by piece).

But despite everything - this place will always be my go-to Chinese buffet & will most likely always hold a place in my heart!

Absolutely horrible service with extremely rude waitresses. The nerve that these waitresses have to demand a tip with rude and unwelcoming vibes the entire time was enough to have my family and I write $0.00 on the check’s tip line in front of her. It is unacceptable to ask tables around us if they would like a refill of their drink and purposely skip my table. After 15 minutes of seeing her around my table and continuing to ignore us, I called her over and asked for a refill, and somehow I deserved a rude attitude and facial expression from her from merely asking. Not once did she come over and ask if everything was good. She waited after 3-4 rounds of plates before clearing our table, even though the table next to us had their table cleared after their first round of food.

After a horrible experience, when she gave us the check, she said to let her know so she will take the payment to the counter herself. Instead, we got up and went to the counter ourselves to pay. She came over and snatched the check out of my hand after arguing that we will pay the bill ourselves. She still insisted to hand it to the cashier even though we’re right there with her. Since my brother was paying, she began pointing at the tip line demanding a tip. I leaned over to my brother and pointed at the tip line and said to tip $0.00 right in front of her. I’m a very generous tipper, but you do not demand a tip after such horrible service. Be aware who is your waiter if you decide to eat here. It is not uncommon to get someone who expects a high tip for terrible service. I’ll demand to have a different server if my family insists to eat here again. I would not eat here on my...

Honestly I never have had a truly bad experience here. Even when it is just "okay" I still love it. I recommend going during busy hours because like any buffet, food turnaround will be faster and make the food super fresh, particularly the sushi. The price for lunch is also so worth it, though the dinner buffet price is reasonable too. They do rotate the food pretty well in general even when not as busy. They have a huge array of choices: octopus salad, seaweed salad, marinated cold beef, kani salad, cold cocktail shrimp, two long rows of labeled sushi and sashimi, salad/fruit/pudding/jello area, cookies and little cakes and mousses, four buffet tables full of a mix of Asian inspired (general tso's, honey chicken, walnut shrimp, chicken and broccoli, beef and mushrooms, lo mein, dumplings, etc) and American style foods (pizza, fries, mashed potatoes, meatballs, garlic bread, roast beef, sausage), a fried food area with wings, numerous soups, a hibachi bar, and a soft ice cream machine. The atmosphere can be a little hectic if it's very busy, but the establishment is nicely designed inside and there is a lot of seating. Attendants clear plates quickly but may have to be flagged down for drink refills at times, and they kinda hover waiting for payment but with so many tables I understand the concern of dine and dash. If you are on your own/in a rush, you can also ask when you come in for a takeout box or two, which you can fill at the buffet, bring it back, and they will charge you based on weight plus extra cost for each piece of sushi I believe. Overall though I love bringing people here, both for the first time and whenever we...
