Royal Buffet, Buffet restaurant in Boardman, US
Royal Buffet is a buffet restaurant in Boardman, Mahoning County, serving Chinese dishes, American food, sushi, seafood, and salads. Food is arranged across several stations, and guests serve themselves as they move through the space.
Royal Buffet opened with the aim of bringing Chinese cooking and American dining habits together in one place, which was not common in Boardman at the time. Over the years, the menu grew to add sushi and seafood as customer preferences shifted.
At the Royal Buffet, guests move freely between Asian and American food stations, choosing from sushi, fried rice, and classic American sides in one visit. This way of eating, where everyone at the table can pick something different, makes it a common choice for groups with varied tastes.
The restaurant is open every day and tends to have longer hours on weekends than on weekdays. Visiting during off-peak times, such as mid-afternoon, can mean shorter waits and freshly restocked stations.
Royal Buffet has a hibachi station where guests pick their own ingredients and watch them cooked to order right in front of them. This kind of live cooking is not common in buffet settings and sets it apart from most places in the area.
